Ricardo stormed into the party, looking for the loser Adrian Blood. David Williams hurried after him, he could not miss the downfall of the person who humiliated him. But Teresa pulled him back in a haste."What is it?" He screamed at her at first. Then he regained his cool, remembering that she was the reason he was still standing around."What is it?" He asked again, politely."It's about Adrian..." She whispered."And what about that foolish jerk?" David was still eager to follow Ricardo before he vanished out of sight."I think we were wrong about him." She expressed her fears. "I think he is actually the son of a wealthy person..."David smirked, what a joke. "Of course, he is not. He is just some random dude who has nothing but his big head and a scholarship which he is about to lose.""No!" Teresa was quite serious. "Right in front of me, he made a one million dollar payment to the school board."David searched her face, there was nothing that suggested a joke. Teresa only cont

The solemn music continued, low in volume, and a background theme to the drama underneath the roof of the event. "Someone get this bloody scum out of here!" Ricardo Rodriguez ordered, commanding the men around. He really wanted to hit Adrian so bad, but he couldn't engage in more violence in the presence of everyone around. The guests were already staring at him. They were his father's guests, and Ricardo did not want to piss off his father just because of this nobody, but when James Halton stood in his way, he lost all reason to hold back."What the fuck are you doing?" He hissed at Halton, raging. "Who do you think you are to stand in my way. You're just an assistant!""You don't want to do this." That was the only thing James Halton said. Ricardo scoffed in annoyance. He had always disliked James Halton even though he had been a loyal servant to the Rodriguez family. James Halton was indeed loyal, but not to Ricardo. Only to his father and to his sister. James Halton had always he

If only Lewis had done his job right, then this dinner would not be taking place in the first instance. If Lyana had died on that sickbed, if she had burnt to ashes in that explosion, then the road would be all set for the next Chairman of all Rodriguez establishments, Ricardo."You had a simple job, Lewis. How did you fail, you bloody bastard?" Ricardo continued his questioning, even though he tried not to be too loud. He could not risk anyone finding out that he was the one who tried to kill his sister two or three different times. The car accident that occured months ago was no accident. It was arranged by Ricardo himself to get rid of Lyana. She was supposed to die in the accident, but somehow she lived into a coma. For months, Lewis added a slow poison to her medications. She was supposed to die after a few months of medication to avoid suspicion. Then when it was time for her to die, she was suddenly back alive all hale and hearty. No doubt Lewis had been doing something wrong.

Every eye around the table focused on Adrian Blood, resonating a deafening silence."Are you crazy? How can you disrespect the chairman's daughter like that?" One man said."Who the hell do you think you are?" Said another associate."Chairman, give me the chance to teach this fool a lesson he will never forget."Their words had no impact. Adrian still had a smile on his face, as if he had just asked for the most normal thing in the world. Everyone thought he was crazy, or perhaps he was joking.These rich men were just so ungrateful. Whenever they did an ordinary man a favour, they would make them repay them for the rest of their lives, serving to enrich the greedy rich masters and fill their pockets. But now that Adrian had done the Rodriguez family a huge favour and he had stated his prize, their ego was so big that they grunted like wounded lions, feeling disrespected.Adrian ignored the angry associates and faced Federico again, not minding the tension around him."I understand h

As the associates exchanged pleasantries and salutations with the prestigious Astana family, Adrian asked questions."What is so special about them?" He uttered out of curiosity, unknowingly, then he saw Lyana's suprised stare. Everyone had gone to welcome the Astanas except her. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to disrespect your family friends."But Lyana only smiled. "No, it is okay. I don't like them either. My father is only fond of Chairman Astana because of how far they have come together. Hosting them like this is the best gift anyone can give him.""Are they a part of the inner circle?" Adrian knew this was his chance. He couldn't miss it for the world. What followed was a suprise look from Lyana. "Of course they are. They are the joint most important members of the inner circles besides my family." She seemed really proud about it that Adrian wondered why she didn't bother joining the pleasantries."Why aren't you with them?" He asked."My father's obsession with the Astanas is s

There was a round of applause in the entire hall as Lyana walked out to deliver her speech. She took the microphone and stared across the hall, holding all her emotions together. Her anger, her fury, her rage and her regrets. When her eyes meet with her father's, she saw him telling her somehow not to let her emotions get to her. The Astanas were finally here, the Rodriguez needed desperately an alliance with them. Earlier this night, before the dinner, Federico had told his daughter. "There is a war coming, Lyana. Whomever has unlocked the Salpinx, they will stand against our family. If we stand with the Astanas, then there is better chance for us."Lyana's eyes left her father's, removing his words from her head. She stared at Adrian Blood, the man who had literally popped out of nowhere and saved her twice. The man who seemed ordinary at first, but at the same time seemed very mysterious. The man who dared to challenge Luther Astana's authority. Adrian's eyes were telling her to go

"Many years ago, when I was still a child, the richest man in the world was a man named Sebastian Waters. He was a friend to my father and Martin Astana. Among the three friends, he was the most successful. He had more wealth than his two friends combined, but he did not live long. He died at a young age, leaving his friends in despair". Lyana narrated the story the way she knew it. Adrian listened, dancing with her."How did he die?" He asked. If his father used to be the richest man, then he would have all the world's medical geniuses at his beck and call. He couldn't just die easily."I don't know." She said. "Some say he was depressed.""Depressed?""He had issues with family. I do not know the details, but I think it had to do with his wife. Father would never tell me, it pains him anytime he talked about Chairman Waters."Adrian engulfed the information slowly. Did this mean his father and mother had always had issues before his father's death? If so, it didn't explain why she l

In the dry suburbs, right along the end of the country, the poor villagers hastened their pace in fear. These men who were dressed in black suits were not friendly, their very appearance in the village meant danger.Anytime they showed up like that, it was either because a rich man somewhere had sent them to take the properties of a poor man and take care of him if he tried to oppose or fight them, or they were sent to destroy the belongings of someone who had offended a big boss. These particular men were no stranger to the village. They had come here many years ago, looking for a little boy. They had destroyed everything in their way, tortured anyone they could catch until they got what they wanted. Now that they appeared again, it was surely up to no good.George ran with his heels behind his head as he approached the little hut towards the end of the village. He forced the door open, locking behind him."Sister sister! There is trouble! The Rodriguez thugs!" Miranda was braiding

Helena had never seen the beauties of the city upclose like she did today. She didn't think that Jacob had seen it too, but he did not look as astounded as she thought he would. The sky was different, the trees too, even the air. She had always read about trains and planes and luxurious cars, today she had seen almost all of that. She was even travelling in a subway train now, it was the most exciting ride she had ever had. The tunnels were a work of magic and the thrill of journey was something she could not contain.What made it even more perfect was that Jacob was with her. It was exactly as she dreamt. To explore golden adventures with her boyfriend by her side. Just like a perfect love story.She looked into his eyes, he was smiling but she knew the smile was not true. She could see it. She could see beyond the facade. This was all Adrian's fault. He had attacked Jacob brutally that time and tried to kill him. And for what? They were just making out. That was not their first time

Adrian checked the rewards tab one more time but there was nothing for him. Did this mean he wasn't able to save his sister? Or the system just deemed it unnecessary to reward for the filler mission? Whatever it was, he tried not to think about it.The car stopped in front of the beautiful mansion. Adrian observed the house in awe. It was magnificent and it only belonged to his new secretary. It was crazy how money was so sufficient to some people. Some people could be so rich that even a secretary would live like a queen while some so poor even a meal was not likely. He wondered how much each member of the inner circle must actually possess compare to the modest lie they put out on their net worths.Mrs Wallers was standing outside, anticipating eagerly. "Welcome Mr CEO..." A stare from Adrian and she remembered her mistake. "Sorry, welcome Mr Blood."Nobody must find out Adrian's true capacity. This was important for him to achieve his plans. Infact he had categorically instructed

Adrian kept a good eye on Jacob and Helena. If the system was being true, then the boy had some dark mission he cane to perpetrate with his sister. Why else did he show up here all of a sudden? But Helena found out what he was doing and she did not like it."Leave us alone," she said. "I am not a child and you are not my parent. I don't want to see you right now."Once Jacob stopped at a kiosk to buy a pair of ice-cream. Adrian thought it must be poison. That must be his plan to take out his sister. He asked the boy to drink from Helena's cup, he did without question."See. I told you to leave us alone!" The girl stamped away, covered in anger. The boy ran after her. Yet Adrian was not convinced."You should stop worrying for no reason." Uncle George stood beside him. "If she is going to get over her mother's death, then she should be allowed a little freedom. Jacob is a good boy who knows how to make her smilr. Leave them alone for now."Adrian still had his doubts, afterall he was

The last drop of sand landed with a silent thud, leaving her soul to travel in peace. Adrian stood before the gravestone, his tears by his side. Now beneath the earth was the only mother he ever truly knew. The one who raised him, protected him and saved them when his father's enemies came for him."Mother..." The silent cries behind him.Uncle George held Helena as the girl sobbed continuously. Adrian had decided to hide Miranda's death from her, he knew she would be so broken. But George had convinced him otherwise. He said that there were no secrets in blood. If his sister hadn't kept so much secrets from him, maybe she would still be alive now, he said.Helena broke loose and stormed forward again, falling on her knees in front of her mother's dust. "Mummy..." She cried.Adrian went to his knees and hugged the little one. "Don't worry, mum," he said. "I will protect Helena from every monster in this world. I will keep her safe and make sure she grows up to be a strong and success

In the centre of the city, the day shone its brightest. The cars flashed and the people strolled, leaving it as peaceful as it could be. A giant restaurant stood in the middle of it all and an expensive vehicle stopped right next to it.Dressed in all black, a pair of glass shades on his eyes, Ricardo made his way into the restaurant. A search over here and there, he finally found what he was looking for. Whom he was looking for. She sat at the far side of the room, half clothed and half exposed, her bare skin glowing and her face in glitters, a hot cup of coffee in front of her. That was just the Amanda Wallers he remembered. The savage, sharp, proud and extremely wild Amanda Wallers, his ex girlfriend."Long time no see, Amanda." He walked up to her, bearing a old grunt as he passed. On a normal day, Amanda was leagues below his level. Yes she was hot and all, but she just was not his type. But only because of her mother's position within the non CEO Waters Corporation did his fathe

"YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME. YOU HAVE TO FIND HER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!"Adrian went head on with the guards who had come to deter them. Using his vital points, he fought through the gunshots and the stabs. Officer Micheal was distracted with his own portion of the fight, so he did not see the impossible feats Adrian was completing.The tracker in the system was now working again, glowing in lights of red to announce Miranda Lambert's location. Adrian knew his foster mother was just paces away. A little more of this and a little more of that, he would soon find her.As he navigated his way forward, the inside of the house was dark and there was no telling who could be lurking in the shadows."Help!" A voice rang through the stairways. It was not any random voice, it was the voice that had been his comfort as a child."I'm coming;" He called back without much thought, racing up the stairs."YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE LEFT." The system added more pressure to the business.Up the stairs, he hurried. H

Darkness loomed ahead. The day was pretty much in its early stages, but the road ahead announced night to the approaching visitors. That was how ghost village had always been. Shrouded in darkness by some crazy intervention of the planetary constellations, it was never day in that place. It was the seat of the most dangerous crimes and the most dangerous criminals. It was also the place the elites of this city chose to alienate and isolate those people who have stood against them, to torture them and eliminate them."We are within borderline of the ghost village. Is there a particular destination for us?" The head officer asked. Unlike the rest of the officers, he was seated in Adrian's car right beside him. He looked quite concerned too. The ghost village was a no go place for the police. Only the hired hands of the inner circle had the freedom to roam these parts. Although this head officer had once before tried to investigate the ghost village, the entire police force stood against

As soon as Adrian Blood walked into the middle of the street, his golden coloured car wheeled into the scene. It looked so new as if nothing had ever happened to it in the first place."Your car is ready, CEO Blood". The system announced. Now that Adrian had signed the company contract forms, he was now officially the new CEO of Waters Corporation."Nice." Adrian jumped into the vehicle, his blood travelled in a rush. His mind dwarted through space and time. Now that he knew where she was, he needed to save his foster mother. "How many more minutes do I have?"The timer blinked before his very eyes. One hour and thirty minutes. The clock had counted down fast, but that was enough time. That was just as much time as he needed."If you complete today's mission, then you will be able to level up. At the next level, a special power will be bestowed to you. A power beyond imagination".Adrian grew in anticipation. He knew that he needed all the power the system had to offer for him to aven

"Many years ago, Miranda and I were best of friends. We were just ordinary workers of this corporation until your mother selected us herself, recognizing our potential and our loyalty. I was promoted to a higher position and Miranda was invited to work in your parent's home. She was in charge of all the workers. Your father was the kindest man in the world but kindness is not enough to keep a woman..."Adrian had been in a hurry. He wanted so badly to jump into the street and reach the ghost village to save Miranda, but for the first time in his life, somebody was telling him about his parents. All his days, he had always had questions but he had never gotten complete answers. Now that Wallers was saying something, he could not stop himself from listening."My mother... My real mother. What happened to her?" Adrian did not believe the story his uncle told. He did not accept that any mother would abandon their child for no undefeatable purpose. He wanted to believe that she had no choi
