Chapter 70
Eddie stood in his living room, holding Sophia's letter, the city's quiet hum drifting through his windows. He read the note again, her elegant handwriting sharp against the cream paper. "You're not invisible anymore. You might as well sit at the table."He set the letter down and walked to the window. The streetlights below cast long shadows, and he could see people moving through the night, unaware that their world was about to shift. His anonymity was gone. Whatever quiet life he'd built was over now."Shit," he said to himself, running a hand through his hair. "Here we go."The next morning brought chaos. Eddie's phone buzzed non-stop with calls from reporters, bloggers, and people he'd never heard of. He ignored them all and made coffee, scrolling through the headlines on his laptop."Mystery Investor Linked to Young Empire." "Sophia Young's Secret Partner." "Who Is Eddie Maxwell?"Thomas called around noon, his voice high with panic. "Eddie, they're saying you're some kind of hi
Chapter 69
Eddie walked out of the banquet hall beside Sophia, feeling like a thousand pairs of eyes were burning holes in his back. The night air hit his face, cold and sharp, but it wasn't as cold as the silence between them. Behind them, he could hear the whispers starting up like a wildfire."Well, that was something," Sophia said, her voice calm as always.Eddie didn't respond. He kept walking, but he could feel the crowd inside still watching through the windows. Clara was probably still standing there with her mouth open, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. And Gerow? Eddie could picture his face right now - that fake smile finally cracking."You want a ride?" Sophia asked when they reached the parking area."I'm good, I'll get an uber" Eddie said, pulling out his phone to call a cab.But before he could dial, he heard footsteps behind them. A group of people had followed them outside, phones already out, some trying to look casual while they took pictures."Eddie," Sophia s
Chapter 68
A strange ripple of astonishment rushed down the spine of the blue banded hand man when he noticed that he had just been rescued by Eddie.His eyes popped out from his sockets in shocks. Leo who was still groaning in pain was able to look far ahead at exactly what was happening.Their hearts flustered at the sight of it and their gazes froze almost in instant. Especially Leo.He was the one that had received a blow from this man and could tell exactly how powerful it was.Could it be that Eddie knew about martial arts and had been able to stop that blow with his strength.Leo quickly threw the thoughts of that away from his head. There was certainly no way that it was possible so It could only mean that the man had noy used his full strength in that attack."Don't worry! I don't want you dead yet!" Eddie sad with a pitiful looks that had been directed towards the man The others that still had the privilege to be alive thanks to Eddie gassed immediately they heard these words."Just
Chapter 67
The Lucifer organization was a dangerous web of martial artist known to almost everyone in the world as horror stories.They are portrayed in movies. Some think that this organization of martial artists is nothing more than mere fiction. But they are some that know the reality of these things. Examples of which were Leo. Even the lowest ranking of this organization known as the minors were feared as one of the most dangerous beings that had ever trended on the surface of the earth.And left for that deadly beast that was known as Lucifer himself and that lived on hell mouth, the thoughts of it only were enough to make Leo's face break out into cold sweat.He had not even seen the skills of the masked man and his legs were already watering at the moment."The Lucifer's Hell." He kept muttering to the others who were still lost in the awe of their shock.But they could not properly grasp exactly what he was saying at the moment."Lucifer?" They thought.What exactly was their leader
Chapter 66
The astonishment that ran through his body knew no bounds at the moment. Leo could swear that those moves were amateurish and his men could have been able to take it out in a heartbeat."I'm sure that they were just way too relaxed after the first set was defeated!" He muttered."You saw that man. Even though they are babies at this! You all have to be serious!" Leo announced loud enough for all of them to hear.But the men that were guarding Eddie scoffed and laughed at these words instead."Serous? With those bunch of fools that were barely able to pull a few martial arts skills?" One of them muttered in between their laughter."I was so sure that Michael was no good and his end was going to be here. I just didn't think that it was going to come pretty soon." The guy with the blue band expressed his disappointment."I'm sure that if I had been given enough of a chance, I would have been able to take all of them with both eyes closed. But here I am, guarding this piece of bodily tr
Chapter 65
Eddie and the driver hesitated a little bit. Their eyes flashing at multiple instances until Leo finally flashed back at them with a glare."Didn't you understand what I just said? I want you to take cover!" He almost yelled at them.His youthful vigor gradually rose up within him, wanting to be done with the threat before him as soon as possible before heading back to be congratulated.The driver whose legs betrayed the heroic looks to his face slowly turned to Eddie, whispering into his ears."This place isn't safe anymore. I really think that we should leave." He muttered with his voice shuttering at the end.Edward remains calm by all means, keeping a straight face."Worry about yourself!" He muttered. "Take cover elsewhere, I will be just fine. I don't think that it will ever get to something that I won't be able to handle!" He replied, his voice dripping with confidence.The men even in their best in an attempt to hold back their laughter could not let it out in an instant."W
