Mason drove out of the mansion, heading toward the location sent by Cleopatra. It was still early in the morning with little traffic, and within fifteen minutes, Mason was close to the location, which seemed to be inside an estate. The neighborhood had one design stretching through the landscape, each house resembling the next. Apart from the expensive car that Mason drove past, he could tell the houses here were expensive, and the few people renting the apartment had a few million in their pockets.When Mason arrived at the destination, he glanced at his phone to ensure it was accurate. He heaved a sigh when he didn't see anyone or Cleopatra around. He waited a few minutes, and when he was sure no one was there, Mason was about to leave when the voices caught his attention."Can we just talk it out," a male voice echoed. Mason glanced at his side mirror to see a man trailing behind Cleopatra, who was angrily storming out of the apartment.The young man, who was in nice clothes, close

Mason watched as Cleopatra made her way into the building, with numerous eyes switching between her and the car she arrived in. Some who were hoping to get a glance at the face behind the wheel walked past the tinted glass but saw nothing. When Cleopatra was out of sight, Mason glanced at his watch, noticing that no matter how fast he was going to drive, he would arrive late to meet with the Celestial Assassins. Without wasting any more time, he started the car engine and made his way out of the school premises. A little while later, Mason arrived at a location that Emoji had informed him about. He was expecting an isolated destination far away from people, but to his surprise, the building was located at the heart of Aleric City, which wasn't a hidden place for a temple to be. The building design was like any other building that towered above his car with other mundane activities. Mason glanced at the building again before making his way to the front gate. Two bulky security men sto

The image of Jeremiah crawled into memory as Mason stared at the system notification, which left him with no details about the mission. It wasn't the first time he had gotten a mission like this, but his heart skipped a beat as he glanced at the name across the screen, making him swallow the lump in his throat. They hadn't talked in a while, and now his best friend was in danger, and he didn't know what kind of trouble Jeremiah was in. Mason quickly slid his hands into his pocket and brought out his phone, dialing his number. After a few rings, the call was declined, making Mason stare at his screen with several possibilities crawling into his mind. Mason shrugged off the thoughts and dialed the number again, but just like the first time, the call was declined.“Is there a problem, Master?” Miranda asked, noticing the frown on Mason's face as he constantly tapped on his phone screen. Mason raised his eyes to her, and he knew Miranda was to notice his distress even when he pretended n

Thirty minutes out of Aleric city, Mason finally slowed down as his eyes fixed on the two-story building that came into view, making everyone marvel at the fact he was able to arrive at their destination with the exact time he had set at the beginning. Everyone wore a similar stunned expression except for him, who knew about the possibilities of the legendary driving skill. Mason focuses on the Jackal's hideout, ignoring the praises that linger in his car. Miranda, who was quick to read his expression, instructed everyone to be quiet and ready as they slowly arrived at a stop, with the noise of nature masking the rumbling sound of the car. Mason quickly turned off the engine and glance to Miranda, who also noticed more than a dozen armed men outside the 'Getting past them to save Jeremiah is impossible,' Mason muttered to himself as different scenarios played in his head. He shifted his gaze to the back, where Nyx and her colleagues unbuckled their seat belts and excited the car.

With Mason leading the way, they exited the room into the hallway filled with several bodies lying on the ground. Mason couldn't tell if they were dead or unconscious as they hovered past them. He couldn't believe four people were capable of performing such damage to more than a dozen armed men. If he hadn't experienced it, he would have said it was impossible to save Jeremiah since none of the celestial assassins carried any gun like the Jackals. From the look of their injuries, it was a close combat.“Who could have done this?” Jeremiah muttered to himself as he tried not to step on them. Mason, I don't know if we should be happy or scared, but whoever did this is more dangerous than the gang,” Jeremiah added. Mason nodded his head, pretending not to know who could enter dangerous territory and destabilize it. As they approached the end of the hallway, Mason could hear the unbearable pain of injured men groaning from a distance. Placing his back to the wall, he peeks, seeing severa
