"What?" Aiden was shocked. He was about to get out of the car when he saw them pour out.They were all in black suits, holding dangerous weapons, machetes, bats, metal rods, and objects that could smash his head to bits.Immediately Aiden locked the car and everything but that was not enough to stop him.SMASH! SMASH!! SMASH!!!They went hard on him and began to thrash his car with the weapons they had.Clatter!With little to no effort, both the windscreen and all the glasses of the car shattered and he was forcefully dragged out through the window, with the broken glasses that were still stuck in the window frame tearing his skin.Not that they cared about that, as Aiden was dragged out and beaten as he had never experienced. This was little and could not be compared to the beating he got after his breakup.These people came hard at him with bats and rods, not giving him a space to breathe but all of a sudden...[Automatically using skill 'Quick legs']Aiden's leg moved before he co
"It's been over an hour, could it be because of his grandmother's surgery?" Trisha mumbled as she waited in front of her school gate for Aiden to arrive.But it had been an hour but she had not caught a glimpse of him. As much as she was getting worried about him she also couldn't wait to go home. And for Trisha who was always looking for a way to escape the heavy surveillance, it belatedly struck her that this was a chance to be a menace.'Well, don't blame Unc... I waited.' She grinned as she walked forward, intending to find her own way home while playing along the streets and roads.'I should take a bus too... damn, I've always wanted to know what it feels like to take a bus.' Her eyes sparkled as she went along....The gangs laughed at Aiden who was looking all renewed and refreshed despite being washed with blood all over.His hands were hidden behind his back but as he brought it out was a silver-colored baseball bat, different from the one they had, metallic and seemed like i
Aiden opened his eyes to the white ceiling and restrictions accumulated with pains that swam around his body. He couldn't move freely because a plaster bandage was fixed on his neck.His face was bruised and swollen. His eyes were not as manly as they used to be some few days back.Everything was in ruin, it was a miracle that he managed to survive. But considering Aiden's history, he is subjected to so many miracles.The system greeted him.[Congratulations, you survived][You have completed the side quest 'Survival'][You have gained +10 blue cards][You have gained +5 green cards][You have gained +3 white cards][You have gained +1 red card][You have leveled up ×5]'Interesting... so many rewards.' Aiden gleamed at what he stared at.SlideThe door opened and the doctors marched in along with his grandfather who had a dejected look on his face.Aiden was familiar with his father's sad face and this wasn't it. The face this time around was different as if he has lost life, as if h
"And how is she doing now?""She has been indoors all day. Refusing to go to school, and the maids are having trouble getting her to eat. They say she blames herself."The man bowed his head in agony, burying his face into his palm. "Her voice when she called me... It felt just like back then...""Sir... you don't have to mention it...""I know right... I can't get over it. I don't know if I can ever be grateful enough for what Aiden did... I‐ I‐ I just don't know... I wish I could have another son so strong like him.""Sir..." Hallandale's voice consoled the chairman's words."No, no, Hallan... I need a son like him. My brothers, their sons, and daughters are looking for every opportunity to monopolize the company that I created, from the scratch, from nothing... I created it with my blood and sweat and let them into it for the sake of family." He sighed, "But these guys are always looking for chances to overtake me. My foes are all over the place... how else can I protect Trisha and
Aiden was dumbfounded.Why?!Why?!Why now?!He was brimming with anger, what is this? Why is the system going against his wishes, when it knows for sure that he wants to get away from them?'Why?, I want to take my time to investigate the people that killed my grandmother and attacked me. I want to start preparing properly for my revenge. I don't have the time to continue as a driver anymore.'[I promised you vengeance and power][You shall have nothing short of that]Aiden bear down at the two sentences that floated in front of him. He sighed.The system was something he couldn't go against. If he decides to fail the quest, he would lose 10 levels, he would also lose 10 stat points from all his stats which means he would be back to the beginning. He didn't even have that much stat, to begin with.He walked into the mansion, escorted by Hallan who despite having consoled him over the days, supported with the funeral still came around to console him, he was still patting his back and
All the things Aiden heard still sounded unrealistic to him.The son of Harris Revenmar."Unc?" Trisha who was just walking about met Aiden as he trudged out of the chairman's office, seeking for a few days to think about his decision.She ran so quickly and hugged him, sobbing."I'm so sorry, unc. Because of me, I'm so sorry."As she begged Aiden, with those loud cries, his mind suddenly wondered to what the chairman said about her carrying the guilt of her brother's death. He tried to imagine how devastated the little girl would have felt."There's nothing to be sorry about Trish. I am glad, I was able to protect you." He said.For now, he didn't know what to believe. Maybe he was the one that they were targeting or they thought Trisha too would be with him. But one thing he knows is that those guys didn't look like there was another person they were supposed to kill."I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry you got hurt because of me.""Hey... little sis... you don't need to be sorry about anyt
"These are the files you requested sir..." A man in a black suit stood humbly in front of Mr. Revenmar, who had his glasses on. He seemed to have added a few more wrinkles and grey hair could be seen at the front of his head.The man carefully looked through the papers he was given which were just pictures and some printed words."These are all ordinary... you said he had shady movements." Chairman Revenmar complained."Yes sir, the thing is... we can't prove it. No matter how much he is traced, how close we get to discovering him... we always miss it."Chairman Revenmar leaned into his chair and rubbed the edge of his mustache after the person in front of him spoke."Do you want me to keep watching him, sir?""There's no need for that..." The chairman said and waved his hand which was a signal for him to leave the office.As the man got outside, he sighed as though he had just passed through a death trial."How was it?" He was asked by the other man in the same outfit standing outsid
"Hm... what happened? Why are you making that worried face again?" The lady in front of Athena said, her chestnut brown hair was neatly pulled back in a sleek bun, and her hazel eyes shone with quiet intelligence. Despite her understated appearance, there was an unmistakable aura of confidence and luxury around her.Athena smiled, "We came here to talk about you. Don't look at me like that.""What do you mean talk about me when you are the one whose dad has been disturbing to get married, bring a man home.""I tried Layla. I really tried." Athena sighed."Yes, but none of them were like him." Layla leaned forward, smiling at her friend. But Athena did not give her the same energy, she rolled her eyes away."Athy..."Athena bowed her head, "I know... it's been long and I'm way over it. I just find it weird, I thought it was going to work and he was a cool guy...""And you loved him." Layla completed her statement as she hesitated."What does it matter? I've tried out other guys and som
