Had a very busy day yesterday so I could not double update. Attended Comic Convention in Lagos. Anyways, I’m still tired and want to rest. Sleep. So, double updates will be suspended till I’m recovered. Pls bear with me.
There was only one way up. And that was up. The message that this spoke to Blessing told her of what she had to do. There was hardly the time for her to waste anymore.As she stood still, the ravings of Tabitha towards Ajaya did not affect her. Indeed, it could not affect her. Not when there was a higher purpose for what she had to do. Which was not for her to stand still and watch anymore.The dream she had from that night continued playing in her head as she stood still. The dream in which she had to protect Lekan.That was the sole reason for which she joined the System Bureau. To learn how their powers worked and have a stake in it. Once she had it, then she would finally be able to make it up to him. Then and only then would her debt be paid in full.The dream, she had herself facing Leslie as a Mana Blocker. The way she threw her hands in the air as she blocked out the flow of Mana from Leslie came back to her head like it was just yesterday. The memory played out cleanly in h
“You lied to us. The fight was over after one hit.” She shouted in his face, watching him rise through bated breaths. “I told you what you needed to hear. Now, dieeee…” Monsieur Louise roared as his body vibrated at super speed towards Blessing. The anger in his voice was loud and clear. The challenge in them sounded a lot like his pride was hurt. That he never expected to be stood up to. Certainly not from a girl.He rushed towards her, his body breaking through the particle physics of human motion. With his body vibrating, a sense of dread filled everywhere. The people waited with bated breaths as they watched. This was the first time they would see him this much charged up. The Monsieur Louise everyone knew was jovial. Thigh he had a fun way of looking for issues every now and then. But it was limited to those who ran the Facility. The persons of Monsieur Dayo and Ms. Rachel. Aside from that, they had been no issue seeing him this charged. Seeing him this way hit them in the cr
“What? “ It took a second for him to realize what had happened to him. The reason why he was unable to move as he wanted to was because he was being held by two strong arms behind him. His eyebrows narrowed at this. He was a speed demon. Nothing of that sort had been able to keep him away from what he had had to do. At least, not if he allowed it to. He smiled ruefully, noting the relief in the face of the brilliant girls before him. How very despicable, Monsieur Louise reasoned, teh weka would always wait for someone to come to save them. They would not attack the initiative and get themselves the salvation that they truly needed. The salvation that they needed to get a better start in life. They would rather wait for someone to come to save them. He was curious on the other side, that he almost took the whole thing so far for a synchronized attempt. Was this the game plan for him to stay put and try to attack egr hrn have someone who was lurking behind come at him. It w
This was something she could work with. Blessing sighed. After all, it was not like she could hold her own against Monsieur Lousie. If not for Ajay and his system,then it would have been over for her. That she knew since the man did not seem like he had any intention of stopping the attack on her. Blessing sighed, letting go of her fear. The one that rooted her up to the spot. She Had been scared when she saw that he would not relent. It was supposed to be simple training stuff but this man, Monsieur Louise, took it out of hand. And in that split second where it seemed as though everything moved very slow for her, she had almost seen death. Twice. AT least, she knew that was going to be it for her. She had no no idea of what would happen when his hands went into her chest. WHatever it would be, she knew one thing. It was not going to be for the better. She still had a mission to reach. She would not be killed out here. Certainly not by some egomaniac. “I don't know what h
“The coarse laughter that resounded from the big head og AMhan was enough to raise the heart beat of Lekan to some levels. He gasped, holding hand to his chest now as he watched the face of the demon while the demon enjoyed itself.It ravished at the scene he had caused, in seeing Lekan being jumpy like that. Unfortunately, Lekan was not impressed. He glared at him. “What is funny about that?” He asked him. “Ah! That look is priceless there.” Amihan gloated, liting back. He rose to his full height now, a wild smirk on his face. “You can't blame me, It has been so long since we got to see you here.” the blood demon chuckled. ``I can't say the same for you.” Lekan responded to him He pushed his head to the other side, seeing the form of the System Lady. For some reason, he was just seeing her. She was atop the system status screen and had been staring at him. Her eyes were silent but they seemed to say a lot more. It felt like he was being pulled to her. And he could not resist.
BLINK!Lekan winced as bright light flashed into his eye. Instinctively, his hands positioned right in front of of him to block the intense flow of light. With that in place and his vision slowly adjusting back to normal, he saw a face staring at him.Startled, he gasped, rising to his feet. Or at least, to a sitting position. To his dismay, the face followed him, now standing up to look at him. It was obvious, due to how the position changed that this person had been kneeling to watch him all along. And that was strange. Why would anyone stand there to watch over him? While it felt good in a way but at the same time, it had something very odd about it. Something he could not place. More so, there was the tingling sense of danger that kept on ringing in the back of his head. What if he ran into trouble? The blonde guy who let him go off at the hospital told him he would come for him. What if this was all part of the plan?“Who are you,” he asked the person.“Hm?” The person tilted
“Do you want to join me in the shower?” Favor tiptoed to his earlobes.Lekan frozen at this. It was so uncomfortable for him that he gritted his teeth, scratching his head in confusing. Who would have known that this seemingly innocent girl would know how to tease like this?It was tempting. The way she still stood by his side, having a teasing smile on. Like she was goading him on to accept it. And there was nobody around, unless she had someone else who did come into the house when the May was not home. Aside from that, the house as theirs. And he felt very tempted to take her then.But what if it was a test? Lekan swallowed on the spot. He held out against his instincts that urged him to accept the proposition. Holding himself back in place was hard. Especially as he was someone who attended a boys only boarding school. This made it a sort of golden thingy for them to be with girls. Those who attended boys only boarding school usually developed the attitude of shyness for thei
Lekan dismissed the thoughts that plagued him about Blessing. And Leslie.Ther was little to no point in discussing about it. Or even reasoning about it. The more he thought, the more he’d miss them. He could not have that. Better to stay focused on the now, better to understand his present situation than cry over spilt milk. Like the saying went, Lekan iterated once more, respect the dead. With that, he smiled uneasily as he stepped out of the room. The house was pretty easy to navigate. It was roughly, as he guessed, a two bedroom flat of sorts. And the only room that was opposite the room to Favor was the room that should belong to her mother.That is, if the two of them were actually related wuth one another. These days, he found it hard to just believe things around him. He had to take the time, he fully convinced before he could come to terms with things as the realty.He heaved as he navigated to the sitting room which was also shared with the dinning room. Over there, he m
