............"Bam... Step... Step...!" Suddenly, the door burst open, and five men stormed into the room, wielding batons and stun guns.Their movements were swift and coordinated as they zeroed in on the drunken idiots, ready to put them in sleep before capturing them."Wh-who...ar-are...Bammm...Zzzz!" Before Darius and Damien knew what hit them, two men aimed their batons at their heads. They felt a noise and then a sudden buzz in their brains, followed by electric current shining from their stomachs."Thud....Thud...!" Both fell down, eyes rolled back, before five men stopped and wiped the sweat from their foreheads."What's the need to hit their heads like that? What if they become idiots from your attacks?" The last man, who had kept silent while observing, chided the two men who aimed their batons at them."Fuck...who cares about that, now let's just bind their hands," the two who hit them said with indifferent gestures before tying Darius and Damien's hands with rope."Alright
............Just then, the wild man slowed down, his movements becoming sluggish before he collapsed to the ground, as if his strings had been cut."Whoa...there...!" The second man shook his head, feeling the soreness and pain from the intense encounter before shrugging it off."Hmmn, he's quite tenacious, still breathing even after using the corrupted knife," the first man commented as he knelt beside the fallen wild man, checking his pulse with a furrowed brow."Next time, give me a heads-up before we get into this kind of situation," the other man grumbled, rubbing his sore wrist."Hey, calm down. He didn't manage to harm you, did he?" the first man reasoned, holding up his hands in a placating gesture."Still, it would've been nice to know. If I hadn't worn this bangle, my hand would've been broken," the other man retorted, his frustration evident as he glanced at his reddened arm."Alright, alright, I'll remember next time," the first man conceded, understanding his companion'
............"You...!" They both looked at each other with surprised expressions, taken aback."What are you doing here, Ms. Officer?" Aarav was surprised to see her. He wondered how this lady knew his address and what she was doing in his house. He couldn't help but think she was here to cause trouble."You...you...!" Aeliana stammered, as she was not only surprised but also taken aback, hearing him call Aria his sister and seeing Phia and Astrid's respectful attitude towards him. Her mind stopped working for a few seconds.She pointed at him with a shaky finger, unable to believe that the person she had been searching for all over the city was right in front of her, and she had encountered him multiple times without realizing he was her Lord.She wanted to smash her head against the wall or dig a hole to jump into. 'Ohh...God...why did I do that..!' She kept cursing herself as she didn't know what to say to him now, remembering her previous disrespectful behavior towards him. H
............Five days later,"Mommy...mommy, look, that uncle is doing something weird with his hands!" A little child, not older than 5 years old, tugged on his mother's hand as he pointed at a middle-aged man standing nearby.The man was moving his hand around in a clockwise motion before returning it back, repeating the action a few times.The child looked at him curiously, pulling his mother's hand to get her attention."Ah, come on, cutie, don't disturb mommy. I'm talking with your Dad here!" The mother warmly nudged the child, trying to focus on her phone call with her husband. She glanced briefly at the man, noting his strange behavior before returning her attention to her call.Meanwhile, the man standing nearby was engaged in conversation through his AirPods. "Yes, I am done with my position. I am setting up another core point 100 meters away. Yes...yes, please don't worry, others should be done with their positions too by now!"After finishing his task, the man moved on
............"Swish...!" Suddenly, a sound cut through the silence, catching Aarav's attention and heightening his senses as he prepared for whatever might come next."Bammn...Crashhh...!" Aarav swiftly sidestepped just in time to avoid whatever had flown past him.As he turned to inspect the source of the noise, he was taken aback by what he saw. A short black gleaming knife hung in the wall, its impact shattering glass and scattering wooden splinters."Clap...clap, not bad, you reacted quite well!" A sarcastic voice accompanied the clapping sounds, drawing Aarav's attention to a figure emerging from the inner office of the café."Well, that should be expected from the God's Heir, isn't that right, Lord Aarav Veridian!" Another voice chimed in, causing Aarav's senses to sharpen as he realized that these newcomers were aware of his true identity."Huh...you." Aarav's voice held a tinge of surprise as he pointed his finger at the familiar face among the two newcomers."Hahaha, what a
............"Have a taste of this...I don't fucking believe that you can get away from this masterpiece of mine...!" he taunted, a twisted grin spreading across his face as he prepared to inject Aarav with the deadly serum."What's that...you fucking shit...Whatever it is, I won't let you get near me!" Aarav's heart raced as he noticed the syringe, the swirling tendrils inside filling him with a sense of dread. He recognized the ominous feeling from his encounters with the disgusting Malevolent Worms and knew it spelled trouble."Swiish....Swooosh...!" The man launched an attack, but Aarav was prepared. "Bammn...Sliid...!" With lightning reflexes, he delivered a powerful roundhouse kick, sending the man staggering backward and to which the man preventing himself from crashing onto the pavement like his partner."Swiish...!"The attacker recovered quickly and surged forward again, but Aarav remained vigilant.His heightened senses allowed him to anticipate the man's movements and
............"Hahahaha....!" The man's laughter echoed triumphantly, confident in his perceived victory as he believed the cheap imitation of the Devouring Plague would soon finish off his opponent."Argh...Ahhh...Shit...!" Aarav's cry of pain echoed through the air as he desperately tried to rid himself of the syringe, but it was too late—the vile contents had already entered his bloodstream.His legs convulsed and trembled uncontrollably as he felt a crawling sensation creeping from his leg up toward his torso, moving with alarming speed."Fuck...fuck...!" Aarav's curses filled the air as panic surged through him. He swiftly lowered himself to the ground, tearing off his shirt in a frantic attempt to stem the spread of the Malevolent Worms.With shaking hands, he tied the fabric tightly around his thigh, hoping to block the Malevolent Worms' advance."Hahahaha...you are finished now...nothing can save you now, Hahahaha!" The man's laughter echoed like the cackling of a madman as he
............"Bammn...!" "Gahhhh...Shit...!" Aeliana scrambled to grab something from her bag, holding it up as a makeshift shield. But the force of the enraged beast's attack shattered whatever she was holding, sending her flying back several steps onto the pavement street."Cough...cough...!" Aeliana struggled to sit up, coughing amidst the swirling dust. She clutched her stomach, feeling the sharp pain coursing through her.It felt as though she had just been hit by a speeding car."Astrid and Phia, when are you going to take him down... cough... Cough!" Aeliana shouted angrily through the communication."On it, but are you alright?" They replied, concern evident in their voices."I'm fine, for now. But if you two don't do something about him, I won't be able to defend myself a second time!" Aeliana said, clutching her stomach and backing off hastily as the raging man approached her.She didn't have anything on her to defend against his deranged attacks, so she could only try to
