"What the fuck are you?" Billy trembled as his back collided with the wall. He had nowhere to go.

Adrian served Billy his own medicine, his moderate hand wrapped around Billy's long throat. Billy gasped for breathe as Adrian raised him off the ground against the wall, struggling for breath.

Madam Huddersfield was hitting Adrian from the back, asking him to let her son go. But her slaps meant nothing to Adrian, he didn't even feel them. Even though some of the other tenants were around, witnessing the scene, nobody bothered to interfere. It was obvious they all enjoyed it, they all despised the landlady and her son for their troubles.

"Please... Please... Let me go..." Billy pleaded with tears in his eyes and sweat on his forehead.

Adrian stared into his eyes. They were crimson and wet. He wasn't going to survive much longer if he kept this up.

"Okay Billy, I'll let you go now. But the next time you put your hands on me, it will be the last time that you have hands."

    Adrian Blood was on his way to the dinner party hosted by the Rodriguez family when the system gave him new information."Following your actions tonight in response to the confrontations from Trevor Steel, Mrs Huddersfield and Billy Huddersfield, I would like to inform you that you have completed a massive record of faceslapping missions. NOW, YOU HAVE JUST ONE MORE MISSION TO LEVEL UP FROM ANCHOR STATUS!"Adrian was satisfied at that. He had not gone through all that trouble for nothing. He had taken advantage of the situation and completed more filler missions, and he was even going to be rewarded for that as well."YOUR REWARD IS RIGHT HERE!" The system announced. A white box appeared before Adrian, glowing. There was a human handprint at the front of the box."What is this?""This is the Salphinx box. It belonged to Sebastian Waters.""My father?""It contains a power you cannot imagine, and only you can open it."Adrian thought for a moment. He had always wanted to know who his f

    David Williams launched forward and hit Adrian in the face, causing the people present to turn their attention to them.The security men rushed forward to keep things in control."Excuse me, sirs, you cannot cause violence on this property." They restrained David, and some of them had Adrian surrounded as well."What? You zombie! Let go of me this instant and let me teach this peasant a lesson!" David was vibrating hard, trying to break free."You have to respect yourself sir, unless we have to remove you." "You heard that, David." Adrian added, calmly. He didn't even sound like he was in a fight with anyone. "Respect yourself, or you will be chased away before you even have the chance to beg daddy Rodriguez to take your sister away.""How dare you..." You could see the red in David's eyes. He vibrated visibly, cursing the security men. "Do you not know who I am? My sister is the girlfriend of Ricardo Rodriguez. You don't want Ricardo to find out about this.""I am sorry, sir, but bo

    Inside the mighty hall, Adrian was welcomed to a noble world he had never before witnessed in his humble life. If he thought that the valentine party organized by Ricardo was a thing of beauty, then he was wrong. Every single thing around him spoke of class and honour, wealth and plenty. The people, a crown upon it all. They were important dignitaries whose face any ordinary man would only see behind the screens of a television and never behold in real life. Yet Adrian was right there among them, and he was no different. As much as he admired the riches around, he could catch the stare of the high class ladies as they focused on him. Maybe it was his suit, glowing in beauty, that attracted them. Or maybe it was his modified features. At this rate, he didn't have to look for Lyana. She would notice him herself, as did every other lady.Regardless of it all, Adrian knew he had come here for a purpose, and he needed to stay on track. He had to focus."Hey System, I need to listen to the

    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

    At one of the B spots for esteemed clients, another customer was complaining to the workers, requesting for better services."I was told the A spot was vacant. I want to be moved there." She commanded."I am sorry, Miss Banks, but the A spot is no longer vacant." The workers apologized."What do you mean?" Sasha Banks asked in annoyance. She had planned to enjoy this evening with her friends at the A spot, imagine her suprise to realise that a random man was using that same spot to hold a date for some random girl. "I am meeting with Teresa Williams today. Do you know who she is? She is the girlfriend of Ricardo Rodriguez. One word from her and you are gone. Imagine what will happen if I decide to get myself involved."The workers were startled, but the fear could not creep in deep. Adrian Blood had paid a huge amount of money. He was not to be refused for anyone, not even the president."I am sorry, miss. But we can not do that." They said."But there are seven domains in the A Spot

    The Culinary was not only the most respected food centre in the entire city, it was also the biggest edifice that screamed of nutrition. Anyone within the borders of Ravendale would most likely see the giant fish which swam on the peak roof of the giant sky scrapper. It was marvellous and it was a miracle. Adrian Blood had always wondered how it felt like to be welcome at such a place. The workers are usually friendly to the rich people and hostile to the ones who were below the chain of wealth. Adrian used to be below the chain of wealth but not anymore. The story was now different. The moment he showed up at the door, the same hostile workers who used to chase him with guards and kicks were the ones who ran to open the door for him."Welcome sir. Please come in." They ushered with all their heart. "We are pleased to have you here." They said.When Trevor Steele reached to the same door, they all shunned his presence. They knew him so well.

    "What the hell do you want, Trevor?"Trevor Steele hurried and reached back for the cellphone. He held it tight to the ears."Beth... Bethany...?" His voice broke and shook. He trembled at the sound of her voice. He claimed that he was over her, but he was still very much attracted to her. Even the ordinary sound of her voice was enough to make him shake so badly. He was such a weak man, such a pervert."I said, what do you want from me?""I... I made some money." He said. "I want to spend it all on you... If you come to the culinary tonight, then...""What do you think I am, Trevor? A fool?" She cut him off cruelly. "Everybody knows you were disowned by your parents. You think you can just call me anytime you want? How much can you make on your own that would make you worthy of my company? You are nothing to me, Trevor. You are way below my level. The next time you dial my number, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life!"Before he could put up another front, she had

    Outside the court house, men and women continued to speak about the shock they had witnessed today. Teresa Williams was just a whoring girl who gave her body to whomever had more cash to spare her!"She will definitely lose the case. I wonder what the repercussions will be..." Someone said."Yes, she will. If I was Adrian Blood, I would not let this slide. I will make sure that she is punished for her actions"."This will affect the Williams family badly, I guess. If Adrian Blood asks for a compensation fee, it would damage the family's treasury further. They are already struggling to find allies, it would be impossible then."Everyone had accepted that Adrian Blood was the hero in this story, Teresa Williams was just the villain and nothing more. Everyone except one person."That fool may have escaped justice this time, but I am sure my time will come again." Trevor Steele held his head in agony. He was so close to watching Adrian lose everything. He thought that he would have his re

    The entire courtroom was growing with tension. Teresa Williams was trying to find a way to stop the hearing. Her lawyer rose and complained."My lord, this should not be allowed.."The judge was not having any of it. "Whatever it is, it is overruled." He declared fiercely, leaving Teresa Williams to wallow in the anticipation of a heavy loss.The screen continued to display the evidence."Are you a secret rich kid?""What does that even mean?""Rich kids that pretend to be poor so they can find true love? Is that what you are?"It was clear now that this conversation between Teresa Williams and Adrian Blood was leading somewhere. Teresa, in this clip, was realising that Adrian might be more than she actually thought. But did she really offer herself to him?"Well, what can I say? You seem to have failed the test woefully...""But I didn't know. I would have done better if I did. You can give me a second chance, and then...""What about Ricardo?""Ricardo spends on me.

    "Mr Adrian Blood, you gave appeared late to your own trial. What do you have to say?"Adrian Blood stood unfazed in this court. He had intended to settle this as civil as he could be, but unfortunately, the system had assigned a filler mission the moment he stepped foot into the courtroom."Destroy Teresa Williams once and for all. Disgrace her before entire world and shower her with enormous shame. Let her hide her face in utter disgust of herself!"The mission seemed harsh and brutal, but Teresa had it coming for her. There was a time Adrian used to dote on her, it was amazing how far she had fallen down his drain of feelings. Starting from the day she disgraced him for Ricardo Rodriguez, dumping him without thinking twice about it. Then she tried to get him to lose his admission in the Ravendale University. When that failed, she and her brother tried to disgrace him at Lyana's dinner. Then she set a camera to tell the world what happened between Adrian and Lyana, trying to set the

    Ricardo Rodriguez and his father were a long way away from home. A specially built edifice on the very edge of the world, it was the most mysterious place in the universe.As impressive as this location was, nothing came close to the caliber of men who were in attendance. The most powerful men all across the world. The richest men in China, India, Korea, Singapore, and even the United States of America. Ricardo had never seen so many men of influence in one room, and here he was among them."Who is the kid?" An old voice said. The face of the speaker, Ricardo could not see. The man sat far away at the top and above everybody else. No matter how powerful the men present were, this person seemed to be their absolute boss. Everyone arranged on either side of the room, keeping their heads down to receive his orders. They looked at the boy in question, he was not meant to be here.Federico hurried and explained.

    Adrian found the house where the party had taken place. He checked every room, every corner. He screamed Helena's name. He called for George too. There was no response. There was nobody in the building. For a place where a party was supposed to have taken place only a few minutes ago, it looked as empty and as silent as a graveyard."Where is my sister?" He asked the system.The system chimed. "If you are summoning your reward for past missions, then you will have to declare that to me, CEO Blood.""Yes I am. Tell me where she is."A map appeared before his eyes and Helena's location glistened in red. He followed eagerly only to find that he was standing in the centre of the road. Over there were two people walking in his direction. "Uncle! Helena!!" When he got to them, he saw that they were both okay. Although in Helena's eyes, there were traces of weakness."What happened?" He asked, helping his sister back to the mansion."I found her lying in the middle of the road." George said
