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
The bustling city of Birmingham never sleeps, and neither did its underworld. In a dimly lit beer parlor on the outskirts of the city, a group of old men was huddled together, drinking and talking in hushed tones.The topic of discussion was Naitatu, the Dragon of Destruction. He was a notorious mafia gang leader who had recently risen to power and was making all the other gangs bow before him."Have you heard about Naitatu?" one of the men asked, taking a swig of his beer.The others nodded solemnly. They all knew about the Dragon. He was a force to be reckoned with, and his reputation preceded him."He's taken over the entire city," another man said. "No one can touch him."The first man shook his head. "He's not just some small-time gang leader. He's got connections all over the world. He's got power that goes beyond Birmingham. If you know a gang tell them not to mess with him.""What are you saying? I heard the Black Snake Gang are still holding their own against him." Another pu
"A lot has been put in place to make sure that the peace continues and to deceive the others that you are still around.""Will it work?" Aiden asked the muscled man standing next to him in a white suit and black shirt. He was seated with one leg crossed and a small round table beside him and on that round table was a whiskey bottle and a glass cup.He glanced through the papers in his hands and handed them over to the man that was standing beside him.The man bowed ninety degrees as he collected the paper from Aiden."But it won't work...""Still, with Hendrick, I don't think anyone can–"Hendrick needs to come with me... I can't leave him here. And besides, all this would work if Endi wasn't in the equation. For the past six months, he has gone off the grid. He is the only one that I haven't been able to subdue thus far and he knows how I do my thing. If Hendrick is to replace me I think there'll be a distinct difference in how things are run in Birmingham.""Yes, sir. I wouldn't den
Aiden lifted his face with his eyes closed, while the man laid on the ground, out of life. It wasn't sure if he was dead or barely living but even if he did survive, this life or the next. He would make sure he never crosses paths with this incarnate of brutality.'How long has it been now...'Aiden couldn't tell, the last time he had felt pity for someone, the last time he beat up a soul and felt sorry for it. Every time his brutality stat rose, something in him rose... like he was being swallowed by the urge to exert his vengeance on everything.And for once, he truly hoped that going home will settle this uneasy and rough feeling inside of him."Boss, there is a man here... he is with a black card, said he received it from a member and he has come to join."Aiden looked down at the person that addressed him, just like others he was in a white suit and was bowing.[Side Quest]- The bartender is an ex-gang member of a notorious Chinese gang. He has given up on gang life to settle fo
"Sir?" The man respectfully asked Aiden as he stood up and stepped back.Hector quickly rose and stepped back too. He was incredibly embarrassed by his situation. But wasn't worried about what his gang thought about him. No matter what the situation may be, they would never undermine his abilities because they have seen it. Besides, the way they were able to grow this much was by having each other's back and being a family.They had a strong bonding regardless of the number. The fact that the man was able to beat him so easily was just his fears being confirmed. Aiden had found another monster and brought him to the family.That Aiden was going to personally test him was proof that this man is strong. Out of the seven central guys, Aiden person tested only three, those are the top three... the rest of the seven were tested by those top three and always end up defeated before they could meet Aiden.Maybe it was the man's luck that these three guys were not around but Hector was sure th
"Oh, shit..." Aiden giggled.The man seeing this opening, while Aiden was down there laughing at how he got beat, the man sprinted towards him.He was barely five steps away from grappling Aiden and pinning him to the ground where he is...[You have used the skill Quick Legs]But Aiden's figure suddenly disappeared from where he was, leaving an afterimage.[You have used skill 540 kick]Before the man could realize what was going on, Aiden had spun and launched himself into the air with the momentum of his spin, soaring into the air, Aiden extended his leg, kicking it out to crush the man's temple from the side while completing another 360-degree spin before landing back on his foot.As he landed on his foot the man passed out immediately and fell flat on the floor.The entire gang erupted into cheers as Aiden landed on the ground. It was a truly marvelous fight to experience. The man was this close to beating Aiden, he truly was strong."But he can't measure up to those three...""Hu
