2025-01-14 07:33:39"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 my miraculous recovery. Every huge personality in the country will be present. It is my desire that you of every other person in this world, should be present as well. Afterall, without you, there would be nothing to celebrate." "Sorry, Miss Rodriguez. But I don't think I will be able to make it." Adrian turned to leave again. The idea of attending a dinner hosted by the Rodriguez family did not excite him, especially since he knew Ricardo Rodriguez would be present. That also meant the presence of Teresa. He wanted nothing to do with those two from now on. But Lyana would not give up yet. "Take this." She slid something into his fingers, a black card. "If you ever change your mind, Adrian, you are a VIP guest at my dinner." With that, she backed away slowly, her face full of hope that he would reconsider. He didn't recall giving his name to her, but he recalled James Halton giving it out loud. A new vehicle waited for her, James Halton himself the driver this time around. They zoomed off into the distance, but Adrian knew she still stole glances. Lyana seemed to be totally into Adrian. It wouldn't be a bad move afterall if he got back at Ricardo by dating his sister. Adrian smirked. Maybe he should attend the party afterall, this would be very interesting. Just that he didn't have a ride, or a luxurious outfit for such occasion. "CONGRATULATIONS, ADRIAN. ANOTHER MISSION COMPLETED. YOUR REWARD IS ON ITS WAY." Adrian gave a nod, realizing he no longer had the ability of a speedster. How would he get home now? Suddenly a bright light flashed into his eyes. A Lamborghini Aventador rode into view as he raised his gaze. It was not just any car but a spectacle made of gold. In front of him, it parked and a man walked out with some paper works. "Mr Blood, here is your car. You just need to sign these papers and it's all done." He dropped off a key with Adrian before turning around to exit. A brand new ride? Adrian's eyes watered in disbelief. He had always imagined himself driving one of these luxuries. He even learnt to drive as a boy in the village back when he was in high school. He learnt from his foster mother's brother who drove a truck. His uncle would make him drive once in a while even though he was below the age. The laws in the village were not so strict as there wasn't many cars on the road, and accidents barely ever happened. "Let's go!" Adrian jumped into the soft machine, rocking it to a start and racing back home. "This is just the first half of your reward, Adrian. The other half is still on the way." What? There was more? Well he was not tired of having them all. He couldn't wait to know what the next thing was. "Head to the Elites Store." The system continued. "You can purchase as many items as you like to, the payments have all been made." The Elites Store was just as it was named. A store for just elites where only the very wealthy were allowed entry. It had all the best and latest designer wears and fashion outfits that a person would desire. Adrian needed to do some shopping if he was going to suprise the Rodriguez family tonight. He pulled over by the super huge store, his ride a perfect blend with the flashiness of the environment. Everyone around marvelled at the beauty of the vehicle and wondered whom the rich owner was. The ladies shopping all paused their activities, waiting expectantly for the door of the car to open. When it did open, Adrian came out calmly and confidently, emitting the aura of a big man, but nobody was impressed. "Who is that dude?" "He doesn't look so special, how come he's the one driving that vehicle?" "I don't think he is the owner. Just some driver flaunting the wealth of his boss." "Well if that's the case, shouldn't we get close to him? Who knows, if we pay him well, we may get to meet his handsome boss!" The ladies giggled among each other and indulged in the thought of their plans. Meanwhile there was another lady who was equally stunned by the extravagance of this unknown individual. From inside the flashy store, Bethany Lawrence admired the Lamborghini made of gold and anticipated to behold the man behind the wheel. But she was equally surprised to see a moderately dressed fellow step out gently. Was he really the owner of that car? If so then why dress so shabbily? Beth didn't care too much. As long as he was rich and he would spend on her, then she could give him a shot. "What are you doing, babe?" That was her boyfriend asking for her. His name was Trevor. He had taken her to this store of Elites this evening to shop for jewelries. Trevor was not a super rich guy but at least he could take care of Beth. Unlike most of her broke former boyfriends who could only afford fake diamonds, Trevor was ready to spend on her even if it meant stealing from his parents like he had done today. "You know I would do anything for you, baby." Trevor put his arms around her waist, reaching into the skin beneath her dress. Yes, Trevor would do anything for her, but he was still leagues below whomever this car belonged to. That was the person Bethany wanted right now. Then Trevor's eyes caught a familiar figure. "Wait... Isn't that Adrian Blood? That punk! What is he doing here?" Trevor was angry, remembering that Adrian still owed him a few dollars. Beth observed the driver of the golden car again, it was really Adrian Blood. She knew him as a pathetic loser at school and one of the poor fellows Trevor liked to step on. How was he ever in control of a car this expensive? Did he become wealthy overnight?

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

"Let us make this a little bit more interesting." Trevor smiled with evil. "The person who wins this game gets to walk on a human carpet as the loser will lie face flat on the floor.

Adrian agreed, knowing Trevor would regret this idea soon enough.And so the game began.Everything Adrian picked was special and super expensive. For each expensive item Trevor selected, Adrian only went for something more expensive. He knew all his purchases had already been covered no matter how much the items were.

"It doesn't seem you are getting any money from your family, Trevor. Why not just do as promised and let us all go on our way? Everyone is waiting." The night was going so well for Adrian. This was the best revenge so far.Everyone around had brought out their phones to record. Adrian remembered just a few nights ago when Trevor had been the one recording. He was the main instigator who urged Ricardo Rodriguez on to humiliate Adrian completely. For so many years, Trevor had tried to make friends with Ricardo but he was out of his league. So he supported anything the Italian kid did especially when it came to the oppression of the less privileged. This would only be a taste of his own medicine."No... No... I can't do this..."Trevor looked around, security was here. Every customer in the shop had their cameras out for a live stream. They wanted to see him flat on the floor so he could be walked on."Be fast and do it, you were the one who made the rules, remember?" Someone said."We a

"Throw him out of here. I don't ever want to see him or any member of the so called Steel family in this store or any other branch across the city and beyond." As Love Morgan instructed, Trevor was bundled away carelessly like a sack of salt. His tears filled the floor where he had been the carpet. As Trevor was removed from the facility, he promised himself that he would revenge this insult. That he would call retribution for this disgrace somehow in the future. "And someone clean this place up!" Love commanded. She pointed to Maggie and Carlton. "Both of you! And you must do it with your bodies if you still want to have your jobs!" "Right away, ma'am!" The two went to the floor immediately as instructed, rolling over the make sure the filth would disappear. "And you must make sure it is sparkling white!" Love Morgan was not a joker. She was firm and stern, and she had a commanding personality. Adrian admired her in a way. A woman like that by his side would make his reven

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..."

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.

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.

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.

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!"

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.
