2025-01-07 20:21:30As Adrian Blood paid for the gift box, handing his old payment card to the cashier, he heard a voice behind him.
"Oh! Look who it is! The scholarship student!" He turned around to see Ricardo Rodriguez and his pack of friends. They didn't like him one bit, he didn't like them either but he'd rather just stay out of trouble. "Hey pauper. What are you doing here?" They came closer. "This store is quite very expensive for people like you. I don't think you can afford anything they sell here." Ricardo Rodriguez was the richest kid in Ravendale University and he liked to show off his wealth. He also liked to talk down on the likes of Adrian who was finding it hard to pass by. Before he used to just ignore Adrian, saying that a low life like him was not worth his breathe of attention. But ever since he found out Adrian was the one dating Teresa Williams, the most beautiful girl in the university, he wouldn't let him be. He took every chance to disrespect and humiliate him. "Is that a gift box? How cute. Don't tell me you're getting this for Teresa." "Do you think she will accept that? Looks pretty cheap to me." One of his friends added, the rest laughing. "So you came into this huge store to get something this worthless? How unshameful can you be, bro?" Another retorted. Ricardo put an arm on Adrian's shoulder. "You know, bro. I hate the likes of you. Nerds, book smart, bookworm. Everything in the brain but nothing in the pocket. You don't deserve Teresa. She belongs to someone like me. It will do you better if you stay away from her from now on. If you do that, I'll pay you a thousand dollars. What do you say?" What now? He was trying to buy Adrian away from his girlfriend? That too for a thousand dollars? Did he think Adrian was that petty just because he was having a hard time? "No thank you!" He refused, not even sparing Ricardo and his gang a stare. The cashier returned Adrian's card. "You can go now sir. Thank you for shopping with us." "Shopping?" They laughed. "He probably bought the cheapest thing out here. See how dirty that thing is, how do you even do business with that?" Ignoring their taunts and laughter, he walked out of the supermarket, avoiding a conflict. Afterall he knew if anything happened, he was probably going to prison while the rich man's son will be let off freely. He knew better than to fall in their trap. He had always ignored them, he would keep ignoring them. As long as Teresa and him kept loving each other. Adrian sped away with his belongings. He had to reach home on time. He had to change into better wears. Tonight was a special night and he had to make it unforgettable. For Teresa, for his love. * As Adrian paid the driver and they drove away, he turned around to behold the unimaginable beauty of the venue. It was unlike any party he had ever seen. It was even crazier to think that all these was organized by the student body, headed by Ricardo Rodriguez. Ricardo Rodriguez, the son of Federico Rodriguez, one of the wealthiest men in the city. He was one of those kids who never had to do anything for money in their life, yet they had it in vast abundance. Unlike Adrian who had to work three jobs part time plus school work before he could buy a diamond necklace for Teresa. He took another look at the beautifully wrapped present. He was going to present it to her in front of everyone. Almost every student would be present. In the eyes of everyone, he planned to finally make their relationship official. Yes they had been hanging out for three years and anyone would decode that they were together, but they never really announced our relationship. "I can't wait to see the smile on your face, Teresa." He smiled to himself as he imagined her beautiful face in his mind. Crystal eyes, cute lips, she was all he ever wanted. The only person who didn't look down on him for being a scholarship student. Adrian checked his phone to see if Teresa had replied his message on Snapchat yet. She hadn't even viewed it yet. Maybe she had been busy all day so he decided to call her before heading in. 'The number you have called is not responding. You can try again later.' Dang. He should just go in and check on her. As he made his way into the brightly decorated edifice, Adrian's eyes dangled in every direction, searching around for Teresa. "Hey, have you seen Teresa?" He saw Lily, one of her mates from the department. "Ohh yesss... I think she went through that door..." She said nonchalantly, pointing in the direction of an open door. It was obvious she didn't want to talk to Adrian. She considered him a stain, worthless. He was surely unworthy of Teresa's love. She hoped Teresa would get rid of him soon. Lily's directives led deeper into the club. "Alright thank you." He passed briskly through there, not bothering to read the large and shining inscription just by the doorway. Emerging at a different room, ten times more beautiful than the other one, he searched around for Teresa again. As he moved around, he could feel the eyes of disgust shooting lasers at him. Everyone who saw him sneered. "Oh... This loser!" "Who let him in?" "Even the cleaners look better than this! No way he could have afforded a ticket." "Yea... His girlfriend must have paid for him." His appearance was in complete contrast to every single person in this special room. They all glittered while he stood ordinary even though he had picked his best outfit for this occasion. Yet he couldn't waste his time minding their annoyance. He just needed to find Teresa. "Not her... Not her... There she is!" Adrian recognized her beautiful red hair from behind. Teresa was seated beside the figure of an unknown man, and they seemed deep in conversation. "Excuse me sir, this place is reserved for VIP guests only." He heard a voice come behind him, but he was already walking towards Teresa. "Just a minute please. I just need to..." The words stuck in his throat as his legs stopped to move. The man beside Teresa was Ricardo Rodriguez and he was kissing his girlfriend in public, while she was cuddling up to him as he touched her in inappropriate places.

"Teresa?!" Adrian finally found his voice, but he had to mention her name one more time before she could notice his presence. And even then, she didn't seem to care."Oh... Adrian". She mumbled nonchalantly."What are you doing?" He was unsure of what else to say. His eyes were shooting red already, he couldn't believe what he was seeing."Making out with my new boyfriend," she faced him again, smiling flirtingly. He could see Ricardo's face under the bright lights above them. He had an evil smirk printed all around, as if he had been waiting patiently for this day. He was the ladies man, the dream of every girl. And now, Adrian's Teresa included. Adrian still could not believe it. He had thought that even if every girl swoon over the Italian kid for his father's money, Teresa would certainly be different. Was he wrong all along?"But... Us..." He stammered and staggered, eyes fixed on Teresa. She only burst into a wild laughter which brought silence to the room as everyone directed

A 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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
