Tears dropped steadily from Anthony's eyes as he listened to her screams of torment.The kind of pain he was feeling was indescribable, worse was the feeling of helplessness.He wished he could just be selfish, but he couldn't bring himself to dump the hopeful kids and go after his woman.He bit his lips and broke into a run, climbing onto the spacecraft which zoomed towards the car hidden in an alley a few streets away.He quickly scanned the vehicle and its surroundings, before opening the spacecraft’s hatch, letting the kids out.“Get in the car, hurry up.” He whispered in a voice that sounded more like that of a wounded animal.The ropes binding the girl to his back loosened, and she slid to the floor.“Thank you,” she whispered, wiping her tears.She clutched her pounding heart and entered the car quickly, helping the smallest kid in the group along.Even if she was dumb, she understood what just happened. She had heard the system give Anthony an ultimatum, and surprisingly, he c

Aria's scream of misery resounded across several streets, notifying the two spies tailing her of her location.The ninja spirit quickly took over the moment she felt them closing in on her, hurriedly moving to another direction.The men immediately showed up, and rushed to her previous location, giving her the opportunity to shoot them both with her automatic silent rifle. “Please, stop crying. You're making your body unstable and hurting the both of us. We are very wounded, and just lucky to be alive. We should go back now, all hope is not lost.” The ninja spirit said to Aria.“All hope is lost. If he's dead, I don't need to live anymore. I quarreled with him, we have not even patched things up.” Aria whispered, sniffing.“He's no longer mad at you. It was obvious he cares for you a lot. He loves you. Hey wouldn't have kissed you so passionately if he was still holding a grudge. Everything happens for a reason. He wanted me to keep you safe no matter what happens, and I would do jus

“It can't be him, it will create a huge problem if he's the one.” The ninja spirit whispered gently, trying to tamp down her excitement, to avoid her getting immensely disappointed when things don't happen according to her thoughts.However, Aria couldn't care less, and continued running towards the balcony adjacent to the main entrance. There was a horde of reporters at the gates, holding various sophisticated cameras and boom microphones to trap even the tiniest of sounds for maximum coverage quality.But the object of their fascination was not Anthony. It was a huge red colored car housing the kidnapped school children. There was a shield surrounding it, like a cocoon, preventing anyone from getting closer to the car as it moved into the security search tunnel at the gates. Surprisingly, instead of scanning the car, the security beam from CloudSea gates shone down, acting as an additional layer of protection that prevented everyone else from getting too close to the car.“Can any

Everyone Immediately went quiet, no one was in the mood to peddle rumors they were unsure of. Even if the man threw the boy into the black, spherical shuttle, there's no guarantee that he made it out. The bomb blast totally obliterated everything. Besides, the man guarding him all these while was also caught in the fire. So, there was no one to protect him and ensure that he made it out safely.“Your question is indeed silly. We only need to watch, wait, and hope for the best results.” one man said, sitting down on the marble floors. Soon, others followed his lead, spreading handkerchiefs or towels on the floor, before making themselves comfortable.A van arrived from one of the restaurants in CloudSea hotels and resorts, stopping before the entrance. Neatly dressed chefs and waiters quickly got down from the car, carrying the heavy trays into trolleys. There were a total of fifty trays, enough to serve every child, and still have some remnants. Each tray contained milk, fruits, varie

“Where's my son?” The woman roared, pushing everyone aside as she rushed towards the dome.“Shh! You're distracting others!” Someone snapped at her.“I'm looking for my son!” She shouted back, wiping her tears.“That son of yours just cost another man his life, see him over there.” An angry woman snapped at her, making her turn around, just in time to hear her son scream, and see the light disintegrating.The wails of the children caused chaos in the arena, making everyone confused.At that moment, thunder and lightning crackled in the sky, and a huge cloud gathered.“Damn it! Is another heavy storm about to happen?” One of the journalists whispered, looking up to the dark sky.“There's a legend that says this only happens when heaven welcomes a saint. That kind of rainbow, followed by thunder and lightning, and heavy storm only happens when someone righteous, willing to sacrifice their lives for others crosses over; a person the cosmos approves and knows of his existence, a child of
