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
"They are sleeping already..." Dave whispered while he was looking at his siblings.Morgan decided to sleep in Adam's room tonight, she wanted to make him as comfortable as possible. And would be there, if anything happens and Adam would need his sister.Dave silently closes the door so he won't be able to disturb his younger siblings while they are sleeping. And he became the lynch master while using his laptop gathering some information for the abduction of his brother."I know that this abduction was not just a simple kidnapping. Because the warehouse where they are keeping the children is so large, it also has a lot of men guarding it. And since Alex was also part of some organization and he had a lot of money and power behind him, " Dave whispered to himself as he was scrolling through some files he was able to access on the dark web.While scrolling in the dark web, there was nothing useful that Dave would have used so he thought of another way, and was able to conclude to
Dave was working at his desk and reporting about the incident yesterday when Elaine walked up to her."So you still have the guts to show your face in the office even if you raised your voice at me yesterday?" Elaine then grinned at him.Elaine planned on getting Dave's attention but failed.Dave just continued to ignore her, even though she was talking nonsense words."Hey, don't be rude! I am talking to you, can't you hear me?" Elaine shouted in despair as Dave was acting like she didn't even exist.Their co-workers looked at Elaine as she yelled, and they whispered about her."What? Stop looking at me!" Elaine shouted at them in anger.Dave glanced at her for a second then told her. "You still won't stop talking?""What the hell is your problem, Dave?" Elaine asked while looking at the man who was desperately trying to avoid her.Elaine looked at Dave in a fit of anger, because he just continuously avoided her and didn't even want to make any eye contact with her. She doesn'
"Is it urgent?" Lauren asked since she was on her way to her work."Yes!""Okay. Let's go inside the house we will talk there, " Lauren replied and invited Dave inside the house.Lauren's work would start in an hour and a half, she just wanted to go there early. Since she had nothing to do that is why she was always coming to work early. But since Dave needed to talk to her about something, and he said that it was urgent, she would just talk to him first before going to work."So what is the urgent thing that you wanted to say to me?" Lauren immediately asked."I've come to one of the trials of the criminal and found out who was behind the illegal boxing match, " Dave said.Dave wanted to help Lauren out on her investigation on the illegal underground boxing match. Since she was helping him out as well, he thinks that he would tell her everything that he knew."What did you find out?" Lauren asked and listened closely."So this lawyer has defended two serial murderers at the trial
"I'm fine now! It was just hard for a couple of three months and the bills piled up because of the huge bill of therapy that my brother is paying. But now thanks to my brother's effort who didn't give up on me, I was able to get back on my feet again, " Adam explained.Since it was hard for Adam to watch his brother stressed out for all the bills that the hospital kept sending to him, because of the therapy. Even if he was having panic attacks for small things, he could still understand the burden that was causing his brother.Adam did everything he could to overcome the fear, and now he was able to do things and have no panic attacks."If I were in your position I think it would be hard for me to be healed by the trauma for their month. I think even if I had therapy it would more than be a year before I was able to overcome the fear. Since that kind of situation would always imprint on me and the nightmares that I would have been unbearable, " Ethan expresses his thoughts about t
"So she is your visitor today...." Elaine rolled her eyes.Elaine felt a bit jealous but didn't want to show it to Juliana nor Dave."Just let her be! I dont even know that she was coming, " Dave tried to explain since he can read Elaine's mind and felt a bit guilty realizing that she was getting hurt inside."Hello!" Juliana warmly greeted the two and closed the door behind her."So you are here!" Elaine said and sighed seeing the warm spirit of her sister."I just came to visit!" Julianna explained and didn't mind the two were talking, after all they are comrades and working in the same division. She does not feel any jealousy towards her sister since Dave was her sister's boss after all."Ummm, Dave. About the report I think I would be coming back here to let you check it. Since it does need to polish a bit and still lacks some details that were needed by the report. I would bring it to you once I am done since you needed to sign, " Elaine said just saying some random things."Wh
"Who is it? Come on in!" Dave said while he was busy looking at the files that were on his desk."Ummm, are you busy?" Elaine asked looking at all the files that were on Dave's table.Dave put aside the case he was working on to attend to what Elaine needs to know. "No! Why? Can I help you with anything?" he asked."Actually I wanted to know what happened the other night? My father and sister refused to tell me anything. He said that it was for the best that I didn't know anything so I would not worry anymore. But how would I not worry when it was my sister's life that was in danger?" Elaine sadly said as she sat down on the chair."What exactly do you want to know?"Dave knew that he was in no position to tell Elaine anything, but he knew that as older siblings, they needed to protect their younger siblings. So he understands what she felt, and could not help himself to say everything he knew."I just wanted to know what happened the other night, " Elaine said.Dave sighed and e
"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.

"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 was just thinking of saving his brother in any way possible."What you didn't hear what I said?" Elaine asked and smir
"Morgan? Adam? Come here!" Dave called his siblings and they immediately went in his direction.He glances at Elaine and Lauren one more time before talking to his brother."Yes, brother?" Morgan asked and smiled since she felt a bit good seeing that his brother had two young ladies who seemed to be fighting over him.Adam glared at him and said. "Don't smile like that, you look weird!""My gosh, can't you see? Our brother has two dates, you are an idiot. I don't even know if you are my brother or not, " Morgan whispered and rolled her eyes seeing his brother so clueless.Adam looked at the two young ladies and shook his head "Oh! Now I know.""Stop it!" Dave said to his siblings who were assuming some things. "Stop assuming something, Lauren is my best friend and Elaine was here because I saved her from the robbers. So now the two of us stopped assuming things that weren't even true before I smack the reality out of you. So please just assist the two of them, alright?" Dave ad
"Elaine?" Dave called her out and looked at her.Dave had a plan inside his mind, and he was determined to do it, it was also one of his plans as a Lynch Master to seek justice for the victims.Elaine looked at her and smiled. "Why?""I have something in mind---- I think you could help me out this time, " Dave expressed his idea but didn't fully tell everything."What is it? Could I help in any way possible?" Elaine asked."We can arrest everyone that was working under the lawyer tonight. I would fight in the arena again, and while I was fighting you would burst in then you could arrest them. Do you think you could help me out?" Dave asked since he was asking for a favor."Do you think we could arrest everyone that was working under the lawyer tonight?" Elaine clarify."Yes! Since there would be a big fight tonight, even one of his fighters would be there. The lawyer would be earning big tonight, and if you want to capture them all. Then you need to do it now, or else we won't ge
"What!?" Lauren shouted.Lauren was shocked to hear what happened because she had found out about it earlier. Then she would tell his comrades about it since yesterday they were able to save some teenagers who had been blinded by money and decided to join."What do you mean that they took him from you?" Lauren asked confused."Adam and I were able to run through the back of the warehouse in the same spot where you found me. I thought we lost them but while I was talking with my brother. Some men have taken Adam away from me and they threaten to kill my brother. I was unable to move since they had put a knife through my brother's throat and with one wrong move he might die, " Dave explained."You should have told me what happened yesterday. So I was able to say it to my comrades, in that way, we can be able to save him. We have saved countless teenagers who badly wanted to join in the competition because of the prize money that was offered to them, " Lauren said.Dave was feeling gui
"What?" Dave asked irritatedly because he just wanted to rest and had no time to talk to the system.[Congratulations, Host! You have been able to finish your task faster than ever. Your last two tasks were not able to finish this early, but this third one was different. You have been starting to love this task that I was giving to you.]Dave looked at the system and asked. "What do you want?"He just wanted to lay his body in his soft body and rest for a bit.[You seem cranky!]"I'm tired, but you are still talking to me. The system just wanted to rest, so just let me, okay? I will talk to you later or tomorrow, for now, let me rest, " Dave ordered.[I'm just here to congratulate you, Host! Your performance on this six tasks was excellent and was exceptional. If you keep this kind of performance in your every task, then there will be more big rewards and chunks of surprising rewards. So Host, make sure that this kind of thing that you are doing in your task, make sure to kee
