100 Systems Invasion 76. Into Hidden View
After four days of work, Rhea finally got her day off again. Mikhal texted her, 'Meet you at East Station in twenty.' Smiling to herself, Rhea texted back an affirmation. "So…" Liz glanced at her from behind the steering wheel, "If I may ask, where are you going, Miss Rhea?""Out," she merely said."Any specific place in mind?"Rhea locked her phone, "Not really."The bespectacled girl looked uncomfortable for a second before she asked again. "Do you have any companions?""Yes.""Oh. Who is that?"Rhea narrowed her eyes, not liking where the bespectacled girl was going with this. "Is this an interrogation?""No, of course, not." Liz hastily said, topping it with an awkward laugh that she tried to make it sound natural. "I'm sorry if it came out like that, Miss Rhea. I didn't mean to."She sighed, turning to the sturdy houses that came into view as they finally reached the town's area. "It's fine. Lucian ordered you to do that, right?" Liz stayed silent, so she'd take that as a yes.

She was not as reckless as Lucian sometimes said to her. But she was still new in this espionage thing, and Mikhal suddenly pushed her down to the ground. Her heart raced, pounding noisily along with the blood in her ears. Mikhal's tall figure was equally low by her side. Confidence may fool many people, but she had none of it right now. Especially not after a burly man in a tank top suddenly pointed his long firearm in her direction, right before she took another shot of the drug lab with her phone. Breathing quietly, they waited in suspenseful silence until the man turned his weapon away from their direction. Another man came out of the drug lab's door, probably exchanging words before both of them went inside again. Rhea exhaled in relief, shoulders slumping down as both Mikhal and her shared a look. They moved closer, trying to get more proof from the small window at the side of the building now known as the drug lab. Not only from the chemical glasses with some colored liquid

"You're so annoying, do I have to remind you every hour?" Rhea grumbled from the passenger seat, watching the dark-haired man behind the steering wheel as the car drove itself to the hill house. "Old news," Lucian commented and then glared at her. "But I already said not to let him into this again."Of course. "Mikhal's right. You do sounds like a jealous secret boyfriend.""Ha. Ha." There was no humor behind that. "First, I am not your boyfriend, I'm your fiance. Second, you're the one keeping this a secret, not me."Rhea grinned, "You didn't deny the first one? Are you jealous?""So what?" She frowned but didn't say anything else. She still couldn't figure out why he was jealous of that tall coworker of hers. No matter how many times she asked him, Lucian wouldn't tell.'Or you just never believe his answer,' a small voice at the back of her head supplied helpfully. She brushed it off because it was total drivel. There was no way Lucian actually felt jealous just because he liked
100 Systems Invasion 79. Table Turned
The raid was a bust.The lieutenant didn't even wait until they were in the privacy of his office before chewing him like useless gum. He demanded, "What is this, Monroe?"Mark bit back the urge to say, 'What did I tell you about raiding it yesterday, Sir?' He waited quietly and avoided any eye contact from the many people in bulletproof vests with bold 'PPD' on their back, strapping their gun back into safety and rounding up their failed attempt. "Why did I spend three hours of driving to the middle of nowhere with a full squad to take down a drug lab and slavery den while there's nothing here?"Again, instead of pointing out that the raid should have been done as quickly as he had suggested, Mark waited."Tell me, Monroe, why are you even screwing up this bad after the rookie slip up with that fake journalist in the warehouse?"'This is not my fault,' he thought. "We are too late, Sir," he said."Too late? Are you saying I'm too slow to act?" Madsen retorted angrily. "Do you even k
100 Systems Invasion 1. If the World Ends Tomorrow
“What would you do if the world ends tomorrow?”Seth looked up from his phone and stared at the professor in front of the class. “Die,” he said before going back to his phone.He was just scrolling down the feed. Where was the rolling cat again? He needed it for his mental health.The fact that his professor marched on with heavy steps and curled journals in his fist completely unfazed him. Victor could fuck himself, for all he care. He had no need for a self-development question when he had a bigger priority in mind.That’s the cat he was looking for.“Seth Holden–““Yes, Professor Louise,” he readily cut in, mocking, as he watched a black furball try to catch a butterfly with its little paws. The gasps and muffled chuckles from the rest of the class became a background buzz in his ears.“I ask you again. If your life ends tomorrow, or three days later, or one month later, what on Earth will you do?” Victor repeatedly asked this. “What are you doing now? If it’s so important, you’re
100 Systems Invasion 2. I Will Not Babysit My Little Sister
Seth finally did his laundry. He had watered his neighbour’s plants too.Damn Elba for making him take care of her plants in exchange for one pack of home-brewed tea. Though, he couldn’t deny that tea was delicious as fuck. It could kill his hangover, too, in case someone needed to know. And that was not the only good thing about her. Elba even gave her first homemade salve to help his broken nose.What a God-send.Or maybe she was just using him as a test lab, but who cares. He wouldn’t be sporting the said broken nose tonight. After that, he went to grab a double mac on the way to his mother’s new home. It was only a half an hour walk after a subway ride, but God knows why he hadn’t visited her. It has nothing to do with her new husband and their daughter. Of course.When he arrived at the unfamiliar white door, Seth picked up his phone and glanced at the clock displayed on his screen. Almost six.Suddenly, the door burst open and a pair of little arms circled his waist. “You must
100 Systems Invasion 3. And F-ck the Game
[Warning!][5 hours before the first wave invasion.][Please prepare yourself.]Seth frowned. Invasion. That word again. It didn’t mean anything to him, at least for now.He closed the pop up window, wanting to look around the game. But, another po up window appeared, no less futuristic-looking than the previous one.[Get up to 40% discount on first wave invasion’s mystery survival kits before it begin!]Seth touched the icon, and it displayed the offered items. There were three mystery survival kits with the same cost of 3.000 cells. With the discount in place, it was priced at 1.800 cells.[Break a Damn Leg! Survival Kit][You Got It Bro! Survival Kit][Love is Everyting! Survival Kit]Rising an eyebrow, Seth couldn’t help but being cringe at the names. He chose the most cringey one.[Congratulations!][Love is Everything! Survival Kit package will be sent to your inbox one minute after the first wave invasion begin.]Huh. Figures.This was just a scam afterall. Nothing to be seriou
100 Systems Invasion 4. Undecided!
Police swarmed the place. The café had been declared as a crime scene and Victor Louise was the victim of this groutious murder. It wasn’t his fault. But somehow, they thought otherwise. Seth gritted his teeth, getting away from here was currently on top of his list. Next to look at his phone in search of an answer. The fucking game – not a game – was the only key to stay alive. “Hey!” Fingers snapped in front of his hollowed eyes. “Do you know who the victim is?” Seth nodded, but then shook his head hurriedly. The Victor that he know was still alive. If he brought up his professor’s name, there would be one hell of a problem. Though, with what awaiting them at midnight, he didn’t know why he still care. “Do you know the victim or not?” “No, sir. I just met him a few blocks away from here.” “Then what were you doing with the victim in the first place?” The detective looked at him in distaste. Afterall, he was still reeking of blood as some red refused to be wiped clean with a
