"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
"Now get out!"Following this scream, a man stepped out of the Commissioner's office, and a file was also thrown out at him, which hit him directly in his chest."And listen, Walters! This is your last warning. I am giving you an ultimatum of one month– if you can't improve your performance, I will suspend you from field duty and put your ass on a desk job! Do you understand?"Dave Walters nodded as he took the file and zipped up his police jacket, after being scolded by his supervisor for his low arrest record. The entire precinct was happy with their quarter yearly report, but Dave wanted to leave early so that he could spend the rest of his evening in a pub, drowning his sadness in cheap beer. Just as he reached for the door, a group of his colleagues surrounded him, smirking and taunting. "Hey, Dave, leaving so soon? Please tell us, do you have an appointment with the President?" "Or are you leaving early because you want to go somewhere important… oh! Right, are you late to y
[Congratulations, host, on binding the system. You have received a Newcomer's Gift x1. Would you like to open the Newcomer's Gift now?]Without giving him much time to process what was happening, another message arrived in his mind. At the same time, there was a warm feeling coursing through his entire body, making his hairs stand on end. It was like… a supernatural force was connecting with every molecule of his body and mind. Although he had his doubts about what was going on, Dave had a feeling, almost like an instinct… that this would definitely not be harmful to him.After all, he might not know all the benefits yet, but he couldn't see any dangers in this. This is when he remembered the question about the gift, and he shrugged, thinking in his mind, "Sure, let's open the gift. Why not?"To his surprise, the system responded to his thoughts as well, and the female voice echoed;[Congratulations! You have unlocked one item: Hidden Criminal Search!]By now, Dave was getting more
The receptionist seemed quite shocked and a little scared to hear that there was a high-profile criminal in their hotel. So she stepped back, wisely deciding not to question them after that point.Dave confidently led his colleagues to the elevator, and some questions began to appear in their mind… Most of them were suspicious about what Dave's real motives were, because even though the receptionist had not asked them for any documents, they couldn't exactly arrest anyone without a warrant!It seemed like he was being vague on purpose. Was it his plan to take advantage of his position and his authority to ruin Julia's wedding?As they reached the fifth floor and Dave started to walk towards the ballroom doors, one of the officers decided to speak up;"Walters, just be honest. Are you just trying to interrupt their ceremony because you want revenge!?"Because of the courage of one person, everyone else also suddenly felt bold enough to speak up."Yeah, we decided to come with you as y
On hearing Dave's bold claim that he was not there for her, Julia felt like someone had poured gasoline all over her and set her on fire.During the five years of their relationship, he used to dote on her completely, rushing to fulfill her every need before the words left her mouth, and praising her endlessly. And now, all of a sudden he was calling her self- obsessed? What did he mean, he wasn't here for her? "What is the meaning of this? You dare to show up at MY WEDDING, and then claim that it's not about me? Then, who is it about? Are you here to celebrate your fucking birthday–""I am here on important business."The guests, who were concerned till now, were slowly getting more and more intrigued by the drama. At first, they were scared and concerned about what was going to happen, but now they felt like this was turning out to be quite an unexpectedly entertaining ex- boyfriend drama. "In the movies, the hero always makes an entry at the last moment, and takes the heroine w
Thomas Kennedy, Julia's father, stepped on the stage, ready to deal with whoever had the guts to spoil his daughter's wedding ceremony."Dave Walters! Is this a joke? You know damn well that you can't abuse your authority in this way!""Daddy!" Julia suddenly ran towards her father, clutching his arm with a pitiful expression. She whined,"Daddy, he is just jealous because he is a loser whom I dumped! And now, he wants to take revenge from me by embarrassing our family in front of all our guests!"Thomas glared at Dave, and if he could shoot missiles through his eyes, Dave would already be on his journey to the afterlife. Seeing that Julia's family was getting riled up, Noah also decided to open his mouth, even though he was already getting anxious. "Yes… yes! How can you expect us to believe that this is not an attempt to punish me for marrying Julia? I haven't done anything, so on what grounds are you arresting me?"Without even giving Dave a chance to speak, Thomas began to bera
Julia was stunned to hear his stern scolding, as he always used to speak to her in a soft tone. But had he just asked her to shut up?! She was dumbfounded, wondering how the hell he had changed this much in just seconds! Meanwhile, Noah's fists were clenched in anger, and if he hadn't been handcuffed, he would have shut her up with a tight slap! Instead of feeling apologetic that he was in all this mess because of her, this girl was running her mouth to get him in more trouble?! "How dare you speak to my daughter like that?!" Before anyone could do anything, Thomas roared out. "Just be honest, have you been deceiving us all along? What have you done, answer me!" Noah was guiltily biting the inside of his cheek without saying anything. It wasn't just that he was embarrassed in front of everyone, but he also didn't want to say too much and get himself more tangled up in the web. But Dave was smiling sarcastically, understanding his thoughts. Even if Noah tried his best to hide
Dave came back to the present moment when he heard the screech of brakes of the police jeep, only to realize that they had arrived at the precinct.Feeling proud, he got down and escorted Noah out of the jeep, only to be greeted by his colleagues."I guess Dave finally opened his arrest record with a bang, huh?""Getting a high profile criminal and getting his revenge, now that's something else!""Yeah man, I guess all he needed to jump into action was a little push from our side!"By this time, they had entered the precinct, and Dave was enjoying the attention and flattery quite a bit.He handed Noah Stone over to one of the constables and instructed him to put him in lock- up."He is an A- list criminal from the auction theft, who managed to escape from prison. Lock him up for now, and we will be getting the statements from people tomorrow morning.""Yes sir!"The constable saluted him and led Noah inside, who felt even more humiliated, being dragged around like cattle."Leave me, y
"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.

"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. One of his female comrades Elaine walked closer to him."You're 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 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
