Chosen By The System To Play God Chapter Twenty-Five
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

"How dare you sit down among us? Have you no respect for age? Who in the world do you think you are?" Associate Murray was the first person to talk, his big fat belly dancing at his words. He was still annoyed how the Chairman had given Adrian the go ahead to approach Lyana and he would take his chance to get back at Adrian. "Answer my question, boy! Even your father has no place among us, whoever he may be!" Murray continued. If only he knew Adrian's true identity.Adrian feigned ignorance. "Oww... I do know nothing about that." He said. "Forgive me, distinguished sirs, but I am unfamiliar with the way of the elites. It is my hope that you will all teach me."Murray was not having it. "You want to be taught so badly? Fine! First lesson, get the hell out of here!""I am sorry, but I can't do that." The associates stared at one another, the disrespect was becoming increasingly unacceptable."I am going to be Chairman Rodriguez's son in law in a matter of time, it is only right that I

Adrian watched Love Morgan vanish from the hall in terror. He smirked, at least she was wise enough to realize he was no joke. But the others, those old men, they would not see it coming. By the time they saw his true colours, it would be too late.Someone came out of the washroom, Adrian saw it was Lyana. He had been waiting for her all along. She was looking for him, he could see. He made the signs to catch her attention. Then his phone rang."Hello.""Hey Adrian, where the stinking hell are you?""What...?""Answer me, boy. I am running thin on time here!""Wait... Is this Uncle George?" Adrian could finally process the voice."Yes you jerk and I am in trouble right now." It was not unlike George to always be in one sort of trouble or the other. "And I am with your sister."Now it got different. There was no way Helena would be with him right now. Especially at this time in the midnight. Miranda had always been particular about that. Until they reached the age of consent, none of h

Luther Astana was storming downstairs in anger when he came upon an old friend, Love Morgan. Love Morgan was going upstairs in shock of Adrian when she stumbled upon Luther. They met along the curved stairs, somewhere in the centre of the edifice without prior knowledge. And when they met, Love Morgan was too unnerved to pay him attention."Hey Love, it's been a long time." He said.She ignored him and tried to walk away. But Luther was not type who allowed himself to be walked past. He grabbed her by the arm, pulling her back."I am talking to you, my love. Or have you grown to completely hate me?""Leave me alone, Luther. Go and meet your sweetheart now that she is awake." She looked away with the glare of anger.Luther laughed, sensing the jealousy. He pulled her closer and pushed her back to the stair rim, letting his fingers rip across her skirt. "You know I do not give a fuck about Lyana Rodriguez. I am only doing this because our parents want us together."Love Morgan could not

Adrian drove fast into the night, angry from the depths of his spirit. A fleet of cars ahead of him was the evil inner circle. He knew where they were heading."Hey System! Where is my uncle and my sister?"A map appeared before his eyes. The location was highlighted, blinking in red light. But that was not the direction the inner circle was heading."What about my mother?"The system searched the entire city timeline again. "I am sorry, Adrian. Miranda seems to have been abducted approximately three hours ago. She is being held in the thickness of an abandoned woodland." The location was represented with a blue light on the screen. That was the direction the inner circle was heading. Adrian was sandwiched between two choices - To save his mother first or to go after his sister and his uncle."Reminder!" The system continued. "Your uncle's truck is being chased by James Halton and his men. If not found in the next ten minutes, your sister and your uncle are likely to be unalived."Adr

While the men in black suits who worked for the inner circle jumped into their vehicles and chased after the gold car, James Halton stood behind, in shock of this turn of events.He turned to Adrian Blood who had ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Adrian could feel James Halton's doubts about him grow larger, his piercing gaze struck deeper but Adrian maintained his calm."I have a question for you, Mr Blood." James Halton walked slowly, "Why did you reject the boss's offer? With his money, you can start a new life away from here. You won't need to do this truck work ever again. You could finally grow out of poverty. Why didn't you just accept his reward?"Adrian shook his head. "Then Lyana would think I am a cheap fellow who only cares about money like every other man she has ever met." He made up another excuse, willing to keep up this game until the system informed him of his uncle's safety. "I want her to know I am different."James Halton broke into laughter. In his e

"What are they doing here?" Mrs Wallers was met with suprise as she took a glance down the window. She had not invited any guests, particularly not a member of the Rodriguez family, particularly not Ricardo Rodriguez. What was he looking for? Why had he come here?"I have to leave." Adrian headed out towards the door, not minding that he would come face to face with those miscreants."Wait! Mr Blood. There is another way." She stopped him. Holding Adrian by the hands, Mrs Wallers led them to a secret backdoor that would lead them to safety.But right outside, Ricardo Rodriguez was still waiting for his signal before he would proceed and suprise the new CEO.His servant came forward and bowed. "James Halton has reported to the Chairman. He says that the sister of the new Waters CEO has been captured."Ricardo held the man by the throat and sneered. "Do not ever call that fraud a CEO to my ears, do you understand?"The man struggled with coughs as he was released. He continued shakily,

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
