Tricia started to growl; she was not pleased with the question that Hudson asked or the way Hudson was acting towards Pete. "Does his age matter? Age is just a number," Tricia said with a piercing gaze at Hudson."Don’t worry, sweety, I will answer his question," Pete replied as he stretched his hand and held one of Tricia’s hands under the table."I am 28 years old," Pete said calmly, staring at Hudson.Hudson’s eyes and mouth opened wide. What is a 28-year-old man doing with my mom, and what does he want from her? Does he love my mom the way he claims he does? I don’t know if he is being genuine with my mom, but I am going to have to do a background check on him, Hudson thought."Come on, Hudson, you don’t have to look so shocked; I love your mom with all my heart; she is the only woman that has understood me on this type of level before, and I assure you that I am going to stick with her no matter what," Pete stated boldly.Even after all he said, Hudson was still not convinced abo
"It is going to cost you 10,000 dollars to get the information you want; let us know the name of the individual so we can proceed. After we are done gathering the information, I will send you the address of where you should meet me to get the results and also make payment for the job," the reply read.Hudson smiled. 10,000 dollars is a small price to pay to get the information for the man that is about to get married to my mom, Hudson thought. He replied to them with Pete’s full name and told them that they should proceed.***********Three days later, in the Magical world,Athens and the man who went to spy on Hudson’s shop with him were both sitting down in the bush in front of Hudson’s shop."My lord, we have been here for days, and the shop hasn’t been open; where do you think Hudson Atonal is?" The man sitting next to Athens asked calmly."I don’t know, but I am running out of patience. Take a look at the shop one last time and tell me what you see," Athens responded calmly. Athe
Athens and the guard arrived in front of the king’s throne. Alexander was on the throne, gazing at them."What’s the news you have for me?" Alexander asked, raising an eyebrow with his gaze fixed on Athens.Athens was having doubts about telling the king what was going on; he feared that the king might react harshly to the situation."Your majesty, during our operation to spy on Hudson Atonal, me and the guard that went to spy on his shop, the main one that he stays at, we didn’t find Hudson there; the shop was closed for up to three days, and we still didn’t see any sign of him. I also gathered reports from the other guards that are scattered across various Atonal franchises, and they also don’t know the whereabouts of Hudson," Athens explained."Hmmm," Alexander mumbled as he placed one hand under his chin. If Hudson didn’t show up to any of his other shops and wasn't in his main shop for three days, what does that mean? I know he is a magical student at the academy, but that doesn’
Hudson's eyes and mouth were wide open as he read through all the papers. "What the hell is all of this? This means that Pete is not who he says he is, and he doesn’t love my mom," Hudson mumbled.He was feeling a rush of anger pass through his veins. I can’t believe that guy has been deceiving my mom all this time; he just wants to take all the property that my mom has and run away. I knew there was something about it, and I am glad I did this research on him. I will have to show my mom everything and have her end the engagement; she can’t get married to that criminal, Hudson thought.Hudson quickly remembered that the private investigator told him that he sent more evidence to his mail. He rushed over to his desktop computer and opened his mail. Hudson saw the mail from the investigator as he started going through it. Hudson saw multiple photos of Pete in various countries, and judging from the look of the pictures, Hudson could tell that they were not something that anybody would w
"Oh, my word! I remember!" she screamed as she attempted to stand up from the bed. Mom, please lay down back; the doctor told me that you shouldn’t leave and that he would have to conduct a few tests once you woke up," Hudson said calmly. No, son, I have to go and confront Pete; I need answers from him!" Hudson could see that she was getting worked up. Mom, please, that is not important for now; your health is the most important thing now. Just lay back down while I go get the doctor; if he is done conducting his test, we will know whether he is going to discharge you or not," Hudson stated in a rumbling tone. Seeing that Hudson was getting angry and worried about her, Tricia laid back down. Okay, honey, go and get the doctor," Tricia replied. Tricia could still hardly believe the information that Hudson gave her last night, but she could clearly picture Pete with those other women. From her memory, she knew that she had to believe all of it and that Hudson would never lie to her.
[The system will now issue its fifty-one missions.][Mission 51: You are going to kill a notorious criminal by the name of Morris, the grappler, inside the magical world. He is a level 20 magician and has been killing a lot of people inside the magical world; you are going to put an end to him.][Mission Time Limit: 336 Hours][Reward: 46,000 gold coins][Above is the image of Morris the grappler for proper recognition.] The system started showing a hologram of a man with multiple piercings on his nose and eyebrows above the white screen. Hudson looked at the man’s face and made sure that he would be able to remember the face, and a face like Morris’s own would be hard for him to forget.[Will you like to be transported into the magical world in the next 24 hours or wait till your time in the modern world is over?]On the one hand, Hudson was shocked about his new mission; on the other, he knew he had to give the system an answer. "I will wait till my time in the modern world is over,
***Later in the afternoon,Tricia and Hudson pulled up to the driveway of a large mansion. The house belonged to Pete. Hudson and Tricia were sitting in the front seat of the car next to each other.Hudson turned to look at Tricia. "Are you sure you are ready to confront him?" Hudson asked, raising an eyebrow. He wanted to be sure that she would be able to control herself before they confronted Pete."Yes, I am sure he won’t be able to deny any of it, thanks to this evidence," Tricia responded as she raised the brown file in her hand to show Hudson.Hudson had printed the photos of Pete and his previous wives and handed them over to Tricia. They came down from the car and went into the mansion.As they arrived inside the living room, they saw Pete sitting down on a large couch with a newspaper in his hands. As soon as Pete noticed them, he stood up with a big smile as he approached Tricia. Getting closer to her, Tricia gave him a resounding slap across the face.Hudson gaped with his
"Yeah," she muttered.‘I hope Pete gets the time that he deserves and doesn’t come back into our lives. The police must have taken him into custody by now’ Hudson thought.***Meanwhile, in the magical world,Athens and the guard that was with him were standing in front of Hudson’s shop. Athens eyes were starting to close slowly as he was feeling sleepy. He was getting tired of waiting for Hudson to show up."My lord, today is almost over and there is no sign of Hudson; do you think it is wise for us to keep waiting here?" The guard asked calmly.Athens turned to look at him with an aggressive look in his eyes. "It is the king’s order that we wait here and seal up the shop. The reason I haven’t sealed the shop is because I had a little faith that Hudson might show up, but since he clearly isn’t coming here today, we are going to seal up the shop and go to sleep," Athens stated boldly."Forgive my interference, my lord," the guard replied as he did a half bow. He could tell that what h
Ajax picked up the pen and dipped into the ink as he started composing the letter “Julius I caught a couple of your men in my territory they killed hundreds of my men and now they are all dead including the head Hercules. With all this information, I would like for you to pick inside one of the two options that I’m giving you. One is either you get ready for war in the next three days as me and my men will be invading your city, two is either you come to my palace tomorrow with 3,000,0000 gold coins and 500 of your men that are going to be working under my kingdom. There are no negotiations, if I don’t see you in my palace tomorrow, I’m going to assume that you picked war. Have a nice day,” Ajax ended the letter.After that, he sealed it up and gave it to the guard that was standing in front of him.“Your job is to deliver that letter to King Julius, after you give the letter to him, get out of there and head back straight away,” Ajax instructed. After that, he dismissed the guard.Hu
“Sounds perfect,” Ajax muttered.“Now I want you all to move back from the prisoners,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as he stood up. Telling them to move back didn’t entail that they should leave the room. So, they understood his orders perfectly.Ajax came down from his throne and walked toward the men who were kneeling on the floor including Hercules.“Now, I can tell that you lots are not from this city, hence why none of you know magic and couldn’t even dress accordingly like a true Magnitoz citizen. That must mean that you all are from Human Valley, so, I would like for you all to help me understand who sent you here and why did you target my guards,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.All the men were quiet, they were now four in number including Hercules. “Are none of you going to speak!” Ajax screamed with his eyebrows tightly pressed together. Hudson and the guards that were in the room were all quiet. They could sense how angry Ajax was.Aja
‘Oh my goodness, could it be Julius’s men behind these attacks? Does that mean that Julius is trying to start a war with me? I don’t think he would want to start a war though. I will have to give him the benefit of the doubt, if I catch one of those men tomorrow, I will interrogate him and get the information I want out of him. I will have to get to the bottom of all of this, Ajax thought.***Meanwhile, inside a large bush that was filled with a lot of men, they were the 50 trained men that Julius had deployed in Magnitoz city and their leader was a 35-year-old man named Hercules, he was about 7 feet tall and built with a lot of muscles. They had killed 23 of the men that Ajax sent to them and dumped their bodies in the river that was at the back of the bush. Hercules was told that two of the men escaped from them.“Listen up everyone!” Hercules screamed calling all their attention over to him.“Yes, commander!” They all answered in unison as they shifted their attention over to Herc
“You are right honey, this is what we are going to have to be doing now,” she replied with a smile. After that, Hudson told her goodbye as he ended the call. He sat down on the chair.***Later in the night,Hudson was lying on his bed; he was scrolling through his contact list as he saw Maddy’s contact and remembered that he hadn’t called her just like he promised her he would. Also, Hudson had an idea for a second date that he planned for when he got back from the magical world from his mission. He dialed her number and placed the phone on his ear. After a few rings, Maddy answered the call.“Hey Maddy, how are you doing?” He asked in a loving tone.“I’m doing fine and you?”“Fine, you know, I’m sorry I didn’t call you yesterday, I was occupied with a lot of things,” he said calmly.“Nah, don’t worry, it’s fine, I was also occupied with a lot of things,” she replied.“Cool, you know, I had a lot of fun time with you, and I have an idea for a second date, I don’t know if you would be
“I will do it, I will hang out with Maddy and go with the flow, I won’t think about secrets for now,” he said gazing into her eyes. Tricia let his head go as she stood up.“That’s good, just let everything flow for now,” she replied. She was happy that Hudson was going to lose up about the whole thing and let everything flow with Maddy.“I will be heading down to the dining table to set up dinner, I will call you when I’m done,” she said attempting to leave the room.“Okay Mom,” he muttered. After that, Tricia went out of the room.‘My mom must want me to get close to Maddy or even be dating her or she just wants to see me dating a woman or be happy, I don’t know which might be the case, but I am happy to oblige, I truly do like Maddy. I don’t know why I have never tried going on a date before, but I felt alive talking to Maddy today, and talking to a woman other than my mom is not that bad. I did feel a lot of sexual tension with her, even if I am still a virgin’ Hudson thought.As h
"Yes, I have been in love three times before and in three relationships overall. My last relationship ended five months ago; he was very toxic and abusive. It took a lot for me to get out of the relationship because I loved him a lot, but after I gathered the courage to leave him, since then I haven’t been able to get back into the dating pool as I had poured all my efforts and myself into my work. But I will say this: I am attracted to and interested in getting to know you," she stated calmly, staring into Hudson’s eyes.Hudson smiled upon hearing the last words she said. ‘I wish it were that easy for me to let her into my life; I wish it were that easy, but I am not sure she would be able to handle the truths that come with being in my life, and I am sure if she got to know the type of person I am, she wouldn’t want to stay or even believe what I actually do for a living’ Hudson thought."I am equally attracted to you and interested," he replied. ‘It’s not bad after all; I am glad m
***Hudson arrived in front of a fancy restaurant that had bright fancy lights all over the place. As he entered the restaurant, the sound of classic music hit him, and that was when he realized that the restaurant was not a regular restaurant. Hudson looked around and saw multiple people occupying the tables in the restaurant. He looked around to see if he could spot the description of the lady that his mom gave him and a lady that was sitting alone. Hudson spotted a table where a blonde woman was sitting alone, and from the way she was sitting, he could tell that she was short. "That’s definitely her," he mumbled as he ambled over to the table."Good afternoon, are you Maddy?" He asked with a smile. She raised her head to look at him as she realized that it was Hudson; she had seen photos of him that Tricia had sent to her prior to the date."Yes, I am. Have a seat. It’s nice to finally meet you, Hudson," Maddy said with a bright smile. She was wearing a red dress with bright crysta
"For this particular job, I will get it done for 20,000 dollars," Joshua responded."Sounds good. When do you think you are going to get it done?" Hudson inquired. Joshua assured him that he was going to get it done within three days. After that Hudson escorted him out of the house as Joshua carried the bags of gold coins with him."I look forward to doing a lifetime of business with you," Hudson said in a rumbling tone. As Joshua was heading towards the gate."Me too, sir!" Joshua replied.***Later in the afternoon, Hudson was getting ready in front of the large mirror that was inside his closet. He wanted to head over to the mall and get the items for his shop in the magic world."Hudson, where are you?" Tricia called out to him. Hudson was shocked to hear his mom’s voice; he didn’t think that she would be home at this time of the day."I’m in here, mom!" Hudson answered as he swiftly closed the button of the blue shirt that he was wearing.As he was about to come out of the closet
"Yeah, you are right; do you know any goldsmith?" Hudson asked, hoping that she would know a goldsmith.Tricia told him that she doesn’t know any, but that Hudson could look for one himself and that Goldsmith is everywhere online. After that, they both agreed that Hudson would look for a goldsmith himself, negotiate everything with the person, and then keep in touch with the goldsmith."It is settled then; you are going to work on getting a goldsmith," Tricia said, staring at Hudson. She noticed a sad look on Hudson’s face. ‘I don’t think Hudson is himself at all; he looks down. I think I should do something nice for him, something that would lift his spirit’ she thought."Yeah, I will start doing the research tonight," he replied. Tricia stood up from the couch."I should get going back to the restaurant; I need to get a few things done. We will catch up in the night when I’m back," she said with a smirk. Hudson stood up as he hugged her, and after that, Tricia went out of the house.
