"Excuse me?" Aiden turned back with a puzzled expression trying to figure out who the person is and why that kind of question.

"Tsch..." The stranger clicked his tongue and glared at Aiden.

Killing intent was written all over his face and Aiden couldn't understand why. Why a strange will suddenly walk up to him and want to kill him.

While still amid that thought, the stranger dashed towards Aiden, pulling out a knife from his pocket.

    'I don't even know anyone that might want to see me.' Aiden reached the park where a broad-shouldered man with a rough face was sitting, he was wearing a black suit with a white inner shirt and a black tie. And he sat so formally that Aiden probably thought he was here for an interview.However, he looked more like a thug who has changed his ways than a job seeker."Excuse me, how can I help you?" Aiden bowed shortly, greeting the man as he approached him."Hm, you must beg Aiden.""Uh? How do you...?" Aiden was purely confused.The man stood up and tapped his shoulders, "A job well done from the other time."Aiden still had that puzzled expression, both his brows were lifting upwards as he tried to make sense of the situation."I'm sorry. I don't quite understand you.""Take"The man handed him a business card. Aiden's mouth widened as he saw the business card.He was just a mid-sales manager in some local company that distributes cosmetics but he was in the world of business and sa

    Aiden stood straight with his arms glued to his side and his eyes glaring downward as he awaited the chairman."You can sit down, young man" The chairman's flat voice with a reassuring tone filled the living room."Ah, sir please it is really okay for me to stand up," Aiden replied with a respectful tone, bowing his head to avoid unnecessary eye contact."So, you know my daughter right?""Your daughter?"'Ah shit, is Athena the daughter of...'"Yes, my daughter, Trisha whom you saved from the hands of some hoodlums." The man restated his words but with more expansion.Aiden paused his wilding thoughts."Trisha?"This moment felt so devastating for him as he desperately wanted to remember but was damn sure he had never heard a name like that before. But someone he saved.'...I did save a lot of people... maybe it is one of them?' Aiden tried to run facial recognition and recollection on all the people he has met and saved within the time he activated the system and now."You look lost.

    "Here, this is it."Hallandale, the head of security who had picked Aiden up before said as he handed him the keys to a Maybach."Wow..." Aiden stared at the car in front of him, speechless. He wasn't being gifted the car, that was clear but he was holding custody of the car as long as he will be the chairman's daughter's chauffeur and bodyguard.Aiden couldn't take his eyes off the car. Its front was dominated by a massive grille, a statement of power and elegance.The classic emblem of the Maybach brand sat proudly in the center, surrounded by a chrome border that sparkled in the sunlight.As Aiden's eyes traced their way along the car's body, he couldn't help but fancy the curves and contours. The cabin sat snugly between the wide, swooping rear fenders, with a high beltline that gave the car a sense of weight and presence.Those massive wheels gleamed with polished metal. Each one was a work of art, with intricate designs etched into the spokes and elegant details around the rims.

Is something wrong?!" He exclaimed as he came out."Son, your grandmother! your-r..." The man was panting so heavily, that it was difficult to catch his breath."Pa, will you calm down? Calm down okay." Aiden patted his back as he spoke. "You can speak gently now."

But that was not all.Due to the changes in his stat, his body was beginning to change."Did I used to be so thick..." He wondered to himself as he felt the suit pants and even the jacket hug him tight and somehow it was like even the contours of his biceps and triceps were visible.He loosened the button of the jacket to free the tightness, took the car keys, and head out....The next he was in front of the chairman's house as he should be, but this time it was not Hallan that welcomed him. It was some blond-haired guy, looking mean. Aiden had seen him a few times since he started working but that's just it."Hey, Unc... looking so good, as usual." The young lady complimented him as she entered the car.Aiden looked up at the weather. He wasn't the type to watch the weather forecast before leaving home but he wished he had this

    Aiden's eyelids fluttered, and the world gradually swam into focus. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled his nose, and the soft beep of machines provided a rhythmic background to his returning consciousness. The events leading up to his current state seemed distant and fragmented, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle he was struggling to put together.As his vision cleared, he found his grandfather sitting by his bedside. A smile stretched Aiden's face. Movements caused his grandfather to look up from his book, his eyes filled with relief as he saw Aiden waking up. With a steady hand, he reached out and pressed the call bell above Aiden's bed."I'm so glad you are awake. Oh, I have been worried sick about you! The doctors said your chances of survival were slim, but I was certain that the boy I and your ma raised was stronger than that."Within moments, the door swung open, revealing a trio of medical personnel entering the room.
