[Ding!]The chiming sound of the system marked its presence in Dave's mind, as he walked into the precinct.[Congratulations host! Well done for completing your system task of dismantling the sex trafficking network and exposing the mastermind behind it. Additional justice points have been credited to you, for excellent use of the Truth Sense Ability to identify the person's intentions and judge whether or not they are speaking the truth.]As the announcement echoed in his ears, Dave was reminded of the way he had tortured the suspects and used his Truth Sense– not only to make sure that they were telling him the truth, but also to find out that they were on the edge of breaking down.Meanwhile, the announcement continued unexpectedly;[Congratulations! A new ability has been unlocked: Shadow Cloak. This ability will allow you to blend seamlessly with the shadows, and you can become nearly invisible for a short duration.][Note that the Shadow Cloak is only available for a limited pe
[Ding!]That same evening, Dave had just checked out of his work and gotten into his car, when the chiming of the system announced a new task. This was something he had been expecting ever since the $10,000 reward had been credited to his account; that the system would be laying out the next challenge before him soon.[Host, congratulations on your previous success in dismantling the sex trafficking network. Your next task awaits: there is an extensive human trafficking operation plaguing the city, similar to the way this sex trafficking system operated. Your task will be to find out who is the head of this operation.]The weight of responsibility pressed upon Dave as the system unfolded the grim reality of another criminal network preying on vulnerable individuals. His determination, stirred within him, fueled further by the desire to bring justice to the suffering victims and their families. [Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to expose the mastermind orchestrating t
The frantic pulse of adrenaline propelled Dave forward as he chased the van, and with each stride, hope and desperation mingled within him. He sprinted as far as his legs would allow in this relentless pursuit, ignoring the burning sensation in his lungs and fired by the determination to rescue his younger brother.However, he couldn't keep up with the four wheeler while being on his feet, and once the driver spotted him running behind, he seemed to speed up the vehicle.Until finally, the van managed to vanish after turning onto the main road and merging into the traffic. Dave skidded to a stop, breathless and tormented by the realization that he had lost sight of the only lead to Adam's whereabouts. A surge of frustration overcame him, and a bitter taste of helplessness was clawing at his heart.Now, Dave was caught in a race against time, and understanding this, he ran back to his house. Once he had got his jacket and the keys to his jeep from inside the house, Dave rushed to his
"I will skin them alive!" Dave angrily shouted on his way to the warehouse full of anger in his eyes.He felt his hands shivering in anger and could kill anyone who would block his way to save his brother.[You need to save your energy when you see the abductors of your younger brother. You won't be able to get ahead of them if right now you are wasting your energy]Dave looked at the system a little bit and said. "I can't even control my emotions right now. I was just shaking in anger and wanting to skin them alive while burning. Their voices that echo for mercy would be a satisfying thing to hear, " he grinned.His mind was full of plans, on how would he be able to brutally beat up and kill everyone who was involved in kidnapping his brother. Even if he knew that it was a human trafficking thing, he would not spare the workers who work for the higher boss, since they are also involved.[You think shouting and shivering in anger right now would make a difference?]"What do you mea
"What happened?" Dave asked as he woke up with a heavy head due to the blow in his head that made him unconscious for a while.He looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and saw that Alex was in there with his few men, he was shocked to see him out of jail."What are you doing here? Aren't you locked up in jail?" Dave asked with a shocked expression on his face.Alex laughed and grinned at him. "Do you really think someone like you can put me in jail for so long? How pathetic is that! I don't even think that someone like me would spend a night in a dump place like that, ""How did you even get out?"Dave looked confused since he was sure that it would take at least a week before the bail would be approved. But seeing Alex in front of him made him think about what happened.Alex walked up to him and whispered to his ears. "Simple, if you have money you can easily get out of jail. But if not, then you would forever be locked up in a place like that. And you seem to be forgetting that I
"H-How that happened?" Dave utters as he looks at who was shot and sees that Alex is bleeding on the ground. Alex looked at his bleeding body while his hands were shaking in fear. "W-What.... What..." Alex utters to himself while looking at himself. Dave was confused for a second as another shot echoed throughout the whole building. He looked at his hand and accidentally shot Alex twice in the legs, which made him bleed heavily. Dave was shocked and could not move, since he was afraid that he was the one that had been shot but, later on, pulled himself together. "What now?" Alex looked at him shaking and asked. "Help me...." Dave looked at him and said. "No! You deserve it for being too arrogant. You've beat me up and bullied me enough so I won't help you. You left me in your office to die so I would do the same thing to you, " "You are that jealous because of that woman, what's so special about her?" Alex arrogantly said as he grinned Dave laughed and touched the wound of
There was a lot of commotion inside the station, an argument on how Dave was there when they held the investigation."An older brother would do everything for his younger brother, " one of the police stated as they deeply thought of a reason.As they continued walking, Dave entered the station feeling stressed and frustrated at the same time."My brother...." Dave keeps murmuring.While Dave was still deeply thinking of his brother that experience in a traumatic experience. One of his female comrades Elaine walked closer to him."You are so proud of yourself right now, right? It seems that you are being so over proud just because you know the location of those kidnappers, " Elaine insulted him.Dave just glanced at him and rolled his eyes, not wanting to mind him.Dave just keeps on walking but Elaine keeps on blubbering. "Now you won't speak, because you felt so high of yourself?""What?" Dave asked.He was pissed by what he heard since he was not thinking of solving the case. He
"That bitch!" Dave whispered to himself as he was holding his anger from hitting Elaine since she was a girl. But that woman was getting on his nerves, he tried to warn her a couple of times to stop pissing him off. But it seems Elaine's only motto for the day is only to ruin Dave's day. Dave looked at his brother inside his car he just sighed and calmed himself down, because he knew that his brother needed him more than ever. "Are you alright?" Dave asked his brother while he was busy driving. When his brother didn't respond he looked at him for a minute and looked back at the road once again. Adam his younger brother is still shaking in fear right now. "What would I do to you?" Dave whispered to himself while looking at his shaking brother. Dave just decided to keep quiet the whole ride home, since seeing his brother still shaking in fear. He was unable to dare bring up another question that would trigger the trauma that just happened. When they reached home Dave saw that
