2025-01-07 20:23:27A well dressed gentleman was standing behind the guards. He looked like a very rich fellow, and the guards seemed to respect him as he walked towards them.
"But sir..." "No buts", he interrupted, raising his right hand in the air. Then he bent forward and lent a hand to Adrian. "I heard everything. Let the young man come." As Adrian came to his feet, the man shook his hand. "My name is James Halton, I am Mr Rodriquez's personal assistant. I heard everything you said about Miss Lyana. Are you sure about what you are saying?" Not that he was super sure, but the system had been his informant. So far, everything the system said had been true. He could heal from serious injuries in a matter of seconds. He could locate Lyana without having any prior idea of where she might have been. If the system was right in all of that, then it must be right about her life being in danger. "Yes sir. I am sure about this." "And you think you can save her?" About that, he didn't know what he was needed to do but something told him he needed to see her first. Then the system would tell him what to do. "Well..." They were interrupted by rushed footsteps which came in their direction. "Mr Halton! Mr Halton!! It is the little Miss!! She is having a serious episode!" James Halton turned around in shock. He didn't need to hear anymore before he sped after the female servants who had come to call him. And Adrian followed him instinctively, knowing something was happening to Lyana. He checked the visible screen, she still had about five minutes left to live. He could still save her. As they reached the super large hospital room, Adrian could feel the tension across the room. The seeds of tragedy growing slowly, waiting to unleash. "Please doctor! Save her!!" Matilda cried beside the bed, holding the hands of the dying girl. The doctors were trying everything they could. The female servants stood together at a corner, sobbing. James Halton rushed to the side of Matilda and looked the lead doctor in the eye. "What is going on, Doctor Lewis? The girl is becoming worse." Doctor Lewis shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr Halton. We have tried everything, and there's nothing more we can do now. Her chances of survival are way below one. We can only hope for some miracle." "Hope for a miracle?" Halton squeezed the doctor's coat in anger, it looked like he was going to attack him. Then his eyes fell on Adrian. "You! You said you could save her. Then come forward and do something!" Every eye turned to Adrian, wondering how this misfit was going to do anything to save the billionaire's daughter when well trained medical personelle had failed to do a thing for her. "This thing?! I thought I instructed those two dimwits to throw him out!" Matilda boiled. It was as though she was disgusted by the very sight of him. "Who is this?" Doctor Lewis questioned. "Someone who hasn't given up on her!" Halton ushered Adrian forward as the doctors protested it. "What are his credentials?" The doctor asked again. He had none. "We cannot allow him to do anything to her." "The doctor is right, James." Matilda seconded. "This thing cannot even keep himself clean, how can he keep Lyana alive?" "She has about 59 seconds left." Adrian faced James Halton, not minding what the others were saying. If he was going to save her, then they couldn't delay it any longer. "Come on. Do your thing." James Halton gave way for him as he stepped beside Lyana who lay unconscious. "No. We cannot allow an outsider to lay hands on our patient. Especially an high ranking patient like Miss Lyana, and especially not this person dressed in rags, wet with blood and water. We cannot allow this..." Lewis found his voice cut off as his head crashed on the wall behind him and his throat burnt at the choke hold of James Halton. "Shut the fuck up, doctor!" Meanwhile, Adrian held Lyana's other hand and awaited his instructions. "System. Now." He whispered in his heart. "Don't fail me now." A shining light grew between his hand and Lyana's, and it grew brighter, fazing everyone in the room. "What is he doing?" "Is this magic?" "You see, James. I told you he was a fraud!" "Someone stop this man..." Then the light receded, and in Adrian's hand was a little oval glass gourd of glowing white liquid. "GIVE THE POTION OF LIFE TO MISS LYANA. YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS LEFT." Instantly, he swiped the glass open and turned it over on her lips. The potion came out in drops. By the third drop, Lyana Rodriguez coughed and her eyes opened to the sight of Adrian. "Did she just... Open her eyes? Is she awake?" A maid whispered. "She is alive." Another responded. "He truly saved her life." Everywhere was as quiet as a grave house as each person stared at another in shock, then at Adrian, then at Lyana who was slowly sitting up by herself. "What happened?" Lyana muttered, seemingly unaware of her sickness. "Why is everyone staring at me?" In a moment, the silence became chaos as the entire room erupted into jubilations. The maid servants all hugged one another in tears while the doctors shook their heads in shame. James Halton and Matilda held Lyana as if she had come back from the dead, suprised at how good she looked. It was as if she was never ill in the first place. "CONGRATULATIONS, MR BLOOD. YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR FIRST MISSION. YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY GRANTED THE STATUS OF ANCHOR." Adrian's work here was done. He had saved the life of the billionaire girl. He had no more reason to be in that room, especially after the loads of insult he had taken today. With everyone else distracted by their jubilations, Adrian turned around to leave. Just as he reached the doorway where the two security guards stayed, he heard a voice calling him. "Wait up, gentleman!" It was James Halton. He must want to thank him personally for what he had just done. "You have done an incredible service to this family. I am certain the chairman would want to meet you himself. You can ask him for anything you want. Anything at all." Adrian was not going to do any such thing. He was not the biggest fan of the Rodriguez family. They had always stepped on the lower families to glorify themselves with their riches. He was not ready to sit on the same table with Federico Rodriguez or any member of that family. Also anytime he remembered what happened tonight with Ricardo and Teresa, his anger doubled. "No, thank you." He declined. "I don't need any reward." Adrian turned around, leaving James Halton with a shocked expression. "I still do not know your name." He requested. "Adrian Blood." A cab stopped in front of Adrian. How convenient to find them when a life was not on the line. As he returned back home for the rest of the night, his phone, almost completely destroyed by the traumas of tonight, vibrated continuously. "CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE BEEN REWARDED WITH ONE MILLION DOLLARS AND TEN CHARACTER POINTS AFTER COMPLETING TODAY'S MISSION!"

Ricardo Rodriguez was spending the rest of the night with his new girlfriend, celebrating his amazing past few months when his phone rang up."Why are you disturbing me?" He knew it was his friend, Doctor Lewis, but this was not the best time to call him. He was in the middle of such nice time, Teresa's titties bouncing on his lips. Now this nerd had come to ruin it."We have a problem." Lewis said through the phone."This problem so big it can't wait till tomorrow?" Ricardo moaned as Teresa began to blow him slowly."It is your sister." Lewis seemed to be whispering over the phone."What? She finally died?" Ricardo urged Teresa to go faster as he closed his eyes in pleasure."No. She actually recovered."Ricardo's two eyes shot open in shock. "What did you say?""Lyana recovered. And now she's awake."With a violent push, Ricardo threw Teresa against the bed. Then he put on a robe and paced around the room in annoyance."How did this happen, Lewis? You had just one job!""It was all

The university was not the best place to be today. From the very first minute that Adrian laid foot into the environment, the toxicity of the atmosphere stiffened his breathe tight. Every person who saw him would giggle or frown or shake their heads before deeping their faces back into their phone screens. It didn't take long to realize something was going on."What is going on?" He wondered. "Is this because of what happened last night?"Of course the entire school was present when Ricardo had his boys ship him out like unwanted cargo many hours ago. Everyone who witnessed it was eager to make fun of him, like Mrs Huddersfield and Billy. But there was more with the way they all looked at him. Like some criminal who had committed a grievous crime. There must be something more going on around here."Hey system", he whispered. "Can you help me out here?""Absolutely!" The system voice chimed in his head.

"What are you doing here?"Adrian couldn't believe this. Teresa was right there all along and the school authority allowed her to listen in on their conversation? She was just a student like every other person, why allow her such admonition?"Well, Miss Williams is the victim in this case. She surely deserves the liberty of presence through the entire hearing."More like Ricardo had paid his way through to allow her interfere in this interrogation. That way they could make sure Adrian lost completely. Why else was she all dolled up like a wedding bride?"This monster tried to rape me. He should be in a prison somewhere now, I can't even bear to look at him. He is terrifying." She pointed her fingers at him while keeping a safe distance, as though he was some vicious threat she shouldn't be anywhere around."What are you talking about? I even bought you a present for Valentine, why would I try to force myself on you?""Because I rejected you."Adrian was silent for a while. She did rej

Adrian walked out of the School Board of Judges' presence with his pride restored. Although he was unable to prove the terrible allegations as vile and false, he was able to give them something to think about. He enjoyed watching their faces go blue, especially Donald McMahon, he nearly lost his balance in shock. Teresa looked as if she had seen a ghost, she could not speak another word till Adrian walked out in all calmness. Their eyes followed him all the way out and he could still feel their stares on his back as he left the premises for a closure to the day."Hey!!"He heard rushed footsteps calling behind him.Turning around, Adrian was not suprised to see his ex girlfriend. Teresa stopped right in front of him, running out of breathe."What did you do back there?" She managed to find her lungs again."What? I just paid my bills like a man should. Is there anything I can do to help you?"Her eyes darkened in annoyance. It was as if he struck her ego unknowingly. Her brows curled

Adrian's head banged loud at the urgency of the situation. He had to save Ricardo's sister again? He already saved her life last night? Why was her life already in danger again? Now he had to abandon the search for his father?"It is your choice, Adrian. Do you want to continue with the filler mission, or you would like to take on this one instead? You have four minutes left."He really wanted to find out about his father, but the thought of Lyana dying after what he went through last night to save her was not good. He needed to save her again. Afterall he could come back and do this later."Wh... Where is she? At the hospital?"The map appeared. "No, Adrian. She appears to be in a vehicle on her way home from the hospital. For some reason, she was discharged today under untold circumstances."Adrian checked the map. Lyana's vehicle was driving across the Stephanie Lane Bridge Pass. That was way on the other side of town, there was no way he could get there in four minutes."But I ca

"Luck?" James Halton smirked. "You see, Mr Blood. Here's one thing about me: I don't believe in luck. You came by the hospital the other day too and you knew exactly what was going to happen to Miss Lyana and just how to prevent it. That is not luck. It is something else. Is there something you don't want to reveal to us?"It looked like he was getting suspicions now. Adrian couldn't stand there for any more minute."Mr Blood has gone through so much today trying to save me." Lyana interrupted. "Surely you can discuss this later, James.""Oh I'm sorry, Miss Lyana." He extended his handshake. "We will talk later, Mr Blood. I have to tidy things up here."As he walked away, Lyana apologized for James Halton's crudeness."Mr Halton has been assigned to protect me since when I was a little girl, it is only natural for him to be a little over defensive.""No problem." Adrian responded, ready to leave."Wait," she held him back. "My father is hosting a grand dinner tonight in celebration of

Adrian walked into the store with a confidence that touched the skies. He approached the store handler who kept her gaze away at once, wearing an expression of disgust."What do you want?" She sighed when she realised Adrian had stopped in front of her. Adrian recognized her too. She was the one who sold the gift box to her on valentine's day. When he had come to purchase a very cheap gift for his girlfriend in this massively elegant store and everyone scorned him, she was the only one who was warm to him. How come she was so cold now?"There is nothing for you to buy here. We don't sell your cheap items anymore." She cursed sharply, eyeing him from head to toe."I am not here to buy cheap items." Adrian responded in kind. He was no longer unsure of himself like he used to be. He was now going to be the wealthiest man in the world no matter the circumstances, a simple store handler was nothing to push him around."I want the most expensive collection of outfits you have ever held in t

Helena tried to run the other way, but there were people circled around her. It was as if every single breathing thing in that environment was turned against her in the passing of a second.

If he was not Peter, then what is to say that Jorja was really Jorja. The men in black found them. "Hand over the girl, Elias. We will take it from here."Elias frowned and smirked. "You want to go fuck her? Cause it is either that or you go and fuck yourself.""Mr Halton has told us what to do with the girl. Hand her over."

In the middle of the cold street, not far from the partying house and its doctored guests, an old friend sat in the comfort of the limousine and conversed with the troubled mouthpiece of the inner circle."Chairman Rodriguez has asked for your help." James Halton said. "He sees you are the best person who can see this storm to an end. He promises to reward you abundantly if you help him this time."His companion sighed. "Many years ago, I gave up on the life of riches. Federico Rodriguez knows that I do not care about his wealth. I was chosen by the deeper circle for a reason, and it did not include wealth."James Halton sighed. He could not speak out of turn in front of this person, but he needed to secure a deal. That was why the chairman had sent him this far."Why hasn't Federico come to see me himself?" The figure continued. "Him and Astana, they are making things ugly in Ravendale. The boss is getting angry. So they might be replaced, them and their entire families.""Forgive us

"What is he doing here?" Helena turned to Jorja, though her voice did not do justice to the volume of her thoughts. Jorja did not hear her, but as if she did, she marvelled over the beautiful sight of the two lovebirds."Jacob is one of our very special friends." She said. "He is a very smart and very determined young man.""And very treacherous too." Helena thought. If only Jorja knew what Jacob had done to her. How he had colluded with evil men to throw her into an eternal world of oblivion. The very sight of him made her cringe. There was nothing she could do. She would just rather walk away, taking delight in the more interesting and less poisonous things at the party.As soon as Helena walked forward, away from Jacob's gaze and away from Jorja's guide, Peter pulled back his wife to have a conversation.

A man stood in front of them, several feet tall. He was made of bulging muscles and his chest peeped beneath his shirt, barely covered by the extravagance of the suit. Adrian recognised him at once."Grenade." Adrian called, pointing at the man. He was one the specially trained security goons he had hired to protect his family. "You are the one I put in charge. Where is everybody? Where is my sister and my uncle?"Grenade sighed. "I am sorry, boss. I tried to warn her but the little mistress would not listen.""What are you talking about?" Adrian hated how this was sounding, where it might be heading. When people put in charge of dire responsibility make these kinds of apologies, it did not put the mind at rest."Your sister is safe." The man continued, much to Adrian's relief. "Then where is she?""She dismissed every single one of us and allowed only I to stay behind and guard the house.

The inner circle meeting was taking place now.

We have enslaved the masses and we have collaborated with their leaders. True power has been with us more than anything ever seen. Yet these days, we have looked so weak to the outside world, and disrespect is beginning to set in".Some would say that his complaint was no fault of anyone else but his own family. It was his daughter who submitted herself to a lucky gambler and set the internet on fire. It was not them or their families. If anyone had truly made a joke of this association, it was Federico Rodriguez himself."Yet our biggest problem yet is not these side distractions. No. Our biggest problem is Sebastian Waters legacy". He left the space for silence and what followed was disgruntled murmurs from the associates. They were tired of hearing this name already, a

Elias was getting ready for the mission at hand. His guns and his poisoned daggers all lay unstrapped and bare in front of him. As he selected the best fits to take along with him, the door opened and his men came in.

Jacob did not wait for the men to speak for him. "Something you would find very useful."Information uhh? Elias breathed coldly, "Speak away then."Jacob shook his head around, glancing at everybody else. "Take me to James Halton and I will say it in front of him." The men shared strange looks with their boss. Elias followed with that same old loud laughter that Jacob hated so much, and he was aided by his men."Whatever you wanna say, boy, you are saying it here. To me."

Jacob was left devastated as he sat by himself in the same bar where he had lost all his money. No, he did not lose it. He won everything there was to win yet those losers accused him of cheating so they could deny him of his reward. Even though James Halton had commanded them to return him everything, they only pretended to listen to him. All they gave was a few bucks and asked him to get lost."I worked hard for that money. I am not leaving this place without my own money at least." He vowed to himself. He remembered how he had to deceive Helena so he could make that money. He still blamed himself for betraying his own girlfriend, but that was what he had to do to make some money. Helena herself was naive and stupid. If she had listened to her troublesome brother, maybe she would not be in that situation. Jacob wondered what had become of her.
