Once the police chief was knocked out Stephen mouthed some words, "Destroy the cameras."I nodded slowly and then turned around, saying, "When are we leaving?""Now," he said and ran straight towards the door. I immediately followed him as I activated the Explosion skill. This is currently the best skill I have in destruction.I would have used the Shadow skill to silently remove the cameras but I didn't know where all the cameras were installed. Stephen would have told me but time was not on our side. We needed to get things done!Boom!There was a very big expression which sent flames billowing towards us like powerful waves capable of sweeping us through."Come on!" Stephen yelled as he continued running towards the door. He leaped into the air, thrust out his right foot, and kicked at the door with all his might.Bang!The door came off its hinges crashing to the ground. There was another long corridor with several cells filled with criminals."We need to get out of this place!" S
The Mercenary player held his large gun as he stared intently at Stephen, his body remaining in that position for a very long period of time. At this point of time I didn't hesitate any longer. My Resurrection skill immediately took effect and my body began solidifying rapidly in front of Stephen who seemed to be calculating how to attack the newcomer. Obviously, he had never come across the Mercenary player before and this was his first day.Unlike me, Stephen had no idea about this player who had the Commanding skill and Intangibility skill. Only I knew how hard it would be to deal with this man."Long time no see, Enigmatic player," the Mercenary player said with a grim voice. His eyes glared at us as if he was watching his prey."I thought we parted on good terms back then," I said to him, my fists clenching slowly. "Why are you attacking us now?"The Mercenary player tapped his metallic gun slowly, his muscles bulging under the weight. On closer realization I remembered that this
With those words, Stephen shot off the ground toward the Mercenary player, his right arm moving backward to swing his sword at the Mercenary player."The skill I displayed earlier is called the Confinement skill," the Mercenary player said casually as he blocked the sword with his bulky gun before throwing a powerful kick at Stephen's right leg. The latter was immediately sent down on one of his knees, his expression turning into a grimace.The man then kicked him in the torso, sending him flying into the air towards me. Stephen crashed to the ground with his back but bounced right up, pinning his sword to the ground."That skill allows me to lock a particular target or group of targets within another space," the man said. "In other words, no one is gonna find us until I kill you!"With those words, he charged at Stephen and fired the gun again. My eyes narrowed as I immediately leaped into the air to get Stephen from harm's way. But before I could get close, a large shield had alread
I wanted to clench my fists when I realized that my right hand had suddenly lost its strength. When I looked at it I realized that it had become shriveled as if there was no blood in it. I couldn't help but narrow my eyes, knowing fully well that this was the curse the Mercenary player had touched me with."My Cursed skill isn't something a random Healing skill can immediately remove," the Mercenary player said. "You'd have to take two days before you can eventually heal from that."As he made that statement he clenched his fists, "And I don't think you have that much time!"He shot towards me like a spear, aiming for my head with a very powerful punch. Once hit by his fist, I knew that my head would immediately shatter."After killing you I'll make sure to sever off your head immediately!" the man said as he soared through the air towards me. "That's one of the methods that can be used to effectively kill you!"That's one of the methods that can be used to effectively kill me? I coul
Seeing that Golden Buddha had escaped I couldn't help but collapse to the ground in exhaustion. I hadn't expected the seemingly young man from the virtual reality to be the ex-soldier. I had been fooled by my own teammate and would have been even killed at this point.I looked up in the direction where he had escaped and touched my right arm with my left hand. My arm seemed to have become numb and there was this pulsing sensation. I couldn't help but grimace as I stared at Stephen who had banished the door and was staring at me."You seem to know that guy," Stephen said as he scrutinized me with his cold eyes. "The way he looked at you after he saw you take that strange sword...""Retribution," I corrected him. "It's a demigod weapon with its consciousness. It wouldn't be like it if you kept calling it a strange sword."Stephen didn't appear surprised that I had a demigod weapon. His face was as expressionless as ever as he sized me up. He then said in a flat tone, "I have a demigod w
I was taken out of the debris which was once part of the police headquarters. There were several reporters ready to interview me but I was very tired to answer any of their questions. I was assaulted with so much tiredness that I felt like passing out any moment from now. It wasn't a pleasant experience."Sir, do you mind telling us how you cleared your name?""Why do you have a beef with the Wade family? Wouldn't it be nice working with them?""Sir, there was once a time you beat Dominic. What happened?"These questions rang through my ears but I was not in the condition to answer them. My body was burning as I was being led to a private jet. The cops surrounding me immediately blocked off the reporters, stopping their interviews.As I went into the private jet, the lawyer who had been hired to defend me said, "You don't have to worry about the Wade family anymore. The government knows of their plans."Before I had the chance of asking what the middle aged lawyer meant by what he sai
After seeing that the issue had been resolved by Stephen I felt very glad. I was no longer a wanted man and could leave my life freely. I wouldn't have to fear the Wade family for some time because they would definitely lay low. They would even go into hiding. Their secrets had been leaked and the government was already after them. Staying in the public would be detrimental to them. It was at this moment I realized something. Having supernatural powers didn't mean one could achieve everything.After becoming a player I had expected to become invincible. I thought I would be able to do anything I wanted to do. But I'd been very much free wrong. With every passing day, I realized how far I was from achieving my dream. Possessing wealth and player skills wasn't everything. It was very much evident in the Wade family's case. They were even wealthier than me and had several players working for them but chose to go into hiding after the government declared them wanted. Despite their power,
Beads of sweat slid down my forehead and I immediately wiped them off. The revelation was too shocking and it was taking a long time for me to digest it. I subconsciously turned my head to look at the kitchen as I sucked in cold breathe."You see?" Stephen said casually as if he had expected this reaction from me. "You're very much shocked about the revelation. Shows you don't even know about Paulina's family."At that moment I decided to talk, "Wait, I really asked her and she refused to tell me about her family. It isn't entirely my fault."Stephen did a face palm as he said, "Why am I always surrounded by fools? Haven't you heard about investigation?""Eh. I didn't think of that actually," I replied honestly. And that was the absolute truth. Something like that didn't even come to my mind."Well, there you go," Stephen said. "You're dating a president's daughter."I took in a deep breathe, digesting the information for some time. I couldn't help but wonder why Paulina never mention
