Max silently trailed Zico through the hospital corridors, navigating the hospital structure with caution. The rhythmic hum of fluorescent lights above echoed his footsteps as he followed Zico, who seemed preoccupied with his thoughts. Max couldn't shake the feeling that Zico held crucial information relating to his business with Zaco and he wondered who the man behind the mask was. Both men walked in silence then suddenly Zico made a sharp bending and he was out of Max's sight. " Oh my God. Where the hell is he?" Max said silently, walking to a dead end.Zico came out of the dark and looked at Max," What do you want? Do I know you?" Zico asked with a cold voice.Max looked at the image before him and he looked exactly like Zaco. He took some steps and started walking towards Zico. Zico became frightened, he didn't want Max to find out that Zaco was a doppelganger. As Max came closer, Zico quickly launched an attack at him and Max landed heavily on the floor. He stood up and both men e

Max drove straight home after the confrontation with Dino. Irrisia kept taking secret glances at him as he drove. "who was the lady you were talking about? Do I know her?" Irrisia asked as they got home. Max was too tired to explain so he just fell on the sofa " Irrisia, not now. I will explain when we get to school tomorrow. Just stick with me alright." He said and shut his eyes." Can I at least prepare you dinner?" irrisia asked Max who was now drifting into a long sleep. Max murmured some words that Irrisia didn't hear. " I will take that as a No," Irrisia replied walking up the stairs to her room. Max lay on the sofa and was fast asleep.The two woke up at the sound of the loud alarm. " Urgh" Max groaned as he got up from the bed to go take his bath. Irrisia came down immediately too and greeted " Morning, Max." she said softly entering the other bathtub. Both greeted and started to prepare to head down to school. " How is your head? Do you still feel any headaches?" Irrisia aske

As the tension escalated between Max, Eddy, and Zaco, the school courtyard became a battleground of words and unresolved issues. Irrisia stood by Max's side, her presence lending strength to the trio facing Zaco's menacing aura. " There is nothing you can do to Eddy as long as he is with me, You better deal with it. Besides, you had it coming." Max said looking at Zaco who was now angry. " So, you think you are untouchable because you are now having some little cash in your pocket. I wonder where you get that money from? We will see how long it's going to last." Zaco said with a grin and worked out on the trio. Eddy was relieved. He looked at Max and smiled " You just saved me, I am forever indebted to you." He said with relief.Suddenly, Irrisia felt a subtle vibration from her pocket. Max looked at her as she stared at her phone.[Ting!] She retrieved her phone to find a message from the system:[ "Task assigned: Uncover Zaco's true motives and expose his deceit. Gather evidence d

Eddy, still nursing his injuries from the brutal encounter orchestrated by Zaco, couldn't shake off the curiosity that lingered in his mind. Max and Irrisia, despite their attempts to keep him in the dark, were hiding something significant. As they retreated to a safer place after the confrontation, Eddy mustered the strength to voice his concerns."Max, Irrisia, what the hell is going on? Why did Zaco specifically target me, and why do you two seem to be at the center of all this chaos?" Eddy demanded, his eyes searching for answers. He knew they were hiding something from him and he was trying his best to know what it was.Max exchanged a glance with Irrisia, realizing that the time had come to reveal at least part of the truth to Eddy. Irrisia took a deep breath and began, "Eddy, there's more to our lives that meets the eye. We are involved in something complicated, something beyond personal conflicts. We have a task, assigned by a mysterious system, and it involves unraveling Zaco

Eddy sat alone in his room as he pondered on what was going on between Zaco, Max, and now Irrisia who has been drawn into the picture since Max asked her out to be his supposed girlfriend. " It doesn't make any sense. Well, let's assume they are at loggerheads because of Tiffany. But now, Max is buoyant and can afford any woman he wants. He could even afford to pay Irrisia her bills for disguising herself as his girlfriend. But where the hell is the money coming from? At least he claims to be an orphan and I haven't seen any of his parents or siblings." Eddy kept wondering and soliloquizing to himself. He wanted to know more about Max but there was no time to find out. Max was always busy with his life and he is now having Zaco to contend with. Besides, they were in their final year and will be graduating in no time. Zaco continued to have people investigate Max while Max was always on the lookout to know more about Zaco's plans and movements too. Both were ready to know each other's
