Upon discovering five missed calls from the security at Emma's apartment complex, Zane hurriedly returned the call, his mind racing with worries about what could have happened to Emma."Hello," Zane greeted as someone picked up the other end."Sorry, it looks like I missed your calls last night. Is there any new update?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern."Mr. Gardner, yes. Ms. Emma returned home late last night, around midnight, and it appears that a car was observing her from a distance as she entered the main gate," the man on the phone reported, his tone serious. "I’m concerned for Ms. Emma’s safety."Zane nodded gravely, even though the security couldn't see him. "Thank you for the information. I’ll look into this matter. Please follow my instructions and do not take any action on your own.""Understood, Mr. Gardner," the security guard responded with firm acknowledgment.After ending the call, Zane sat back and pondered the best course of action to track down the suspicio

As Lucky and Tony, the stalkers, tracked the taxi ahead, uncertainty began to creep into their conversation. They had been shadowing Emma for two weeks, but tonight's events unfolded differently from the routine they had come to expect. Emma's path home was altered, stirring suspicion among them."Tony, are you sure that's the taxi carrying Charlotte's daughter?" Lucky asked, his tone laced with doubt as he observed the unusual route."Of course, you saw it yourself. There hasn't been another taxi since then," Tony replied, trying to sound confident but his voice betrayed a hint of uncertainty."But where is she actually going tonight? This isn’t the way to her apartment, is it?" Lucky pressed further, his i

As Zane entered the building, he immediately noticed Emma's brave actions. A subtle smile of pride appeared on his face, admiring her resilience in the face of danger. Just then, as Lucky stepped closer to Emma, intending to intimidate her further, Zane intervened with a swift and forceful kick to the side of Lucky's face.The blow sent Lucky stumbling to the side. As he wiped at his cheek, he discovered blood on his hand and cursed under his breath, "Dammit."Refusing to be subdued, Lucky quickly regained his footing and faced Zane with fury in his eyes. "You think you can beat me? Don't think you'll get out of here alive," he snarled with menace.Zane shifted his position, now placing himself between Emma and Lucky, effectively shielding her. He turned to her and instructed firmly, "Emma, get away from here, go to the car."Emma's face was etched with concern as she nodded in understanding, her eyes locked on Zane. "Be careful, Zane," she reminded him, her voice laced with wor

Seeing Zane lying motionless, Emma's heart faltered momentarily, her fears surfacing as she witnessed his vulnerable state. However, this sight only steeled her resolve further, pushing her to act despite her worries. She turned to Cedric with a troubled expression, seeking clarity amidst the chaos. "Cedric, what happened to Zane?""He took a blow to his back and the back of his head," Cedric explained, trying to reassure her. "But I assure you, he is safe now, Ms. Emma. He'll be waking up soon, but please, don't approach him just yet."Emma's brows furrowed in concern as she processed this information. "Are you sure?" she asked, her voice tinged with doubt."Absolutely," Cedric responded confidently, trying to provide some comfort to her worried mind.Emma nodded, understanding that this wasn't the time to press for more details given the direness of their situation. Despite Cedric's reassurances, she couldn't help but feel anxious. The sight of blood trickling from the back of Z

Zane smiled upon reading the cryptic messages from the system."A big reward?" he muttered to himself, intrigued.[Yes, host. But I cannot tell you now, as the reward will be given randomly.][Consider it a surprise, host.]"Could the system possibly grant me additional powers? Like the ability to fly?" Zane wondered silently.[Do you wish to become a successor to Superman, host?][Just wait and see, host. It is a surprise after all.]Zane's smile widened as he read the notifications from the system, his curiosity piqued by the playful banter. Although the idea of gaining superhuman abilities seemed more like a fantasy, it added an element of excitement to his serious mission.***On a typical Sunday morning, Zane followed his routine of jogging in the park. He completed five laps, a regular feat for him, though sweat dripped down his forehead from the effort.Feeling sufficiently exercised, he sat down on a park bench and drank some bottled water. The cool liquid was refreshing, q
