I saw the gunmen tremble as they all retreated backwards after seeing me evade all the bullets fired by me for a strange reason. I was just moving straight but none of the bullets were even touching me!
"Damn!"
"Why didn't you tell us that you're dealing with a demon?!"
"He's too terrifying!"
"We'll definitely lose our lives if we continue with this."
Carlos was the only one in the group who didn't hurriedly retreat and shouted, "We need to take him down immediately! Only by doing so are we going to be rewarded by Dominic!"
The gunmen, attracted by the mention of reward, immediately stopped running
"I never knew things would end up this way," I said to myself as I looked down, clenching my fists. I couldn't help but wonder if what they said were actually true. Was I really a monster like they had said? Was I really a demon?All around me were corpses which had died with so much fear. I didn't know why but anywhere I went was filled with so much deaths. Either I was killing people or people were getting killed because of me."I'm really a demon," I said to myself as I unclenched my fists. "I've caused so much deaths."I remained standing there for some minutes silently. The police would soon come and I needed to stay at the crime scene so that I'd be able to explain everything to them. If I left I'd immediately become a suspect and the cops would be on my way tail.
As I was driving to school I was fuming as I thought about how Dominic had tried to kill me several times. If it were not for the law and the status of his father I would have killed him a long time ago. He had caused so much trouble for me and I wasn't going to forgive him for what he had done. The scar was still there and it wasn't going to wash away till he was dead and buried. I couldn't let someone as dangerous as Dominic roam about. No, I couldn't do so. With time I'm going to initiate my plan and force him to his downfall. But for now, I had to bid my time wisely. Rushing into things would definitely jeopardize my plans and cause me instant failure. As I drove to the school I got many stares like the first time I had come with my new expensive car to school. But I could see that their eyes were filled with deep admiration for me. It seemed that something about me was drawing them closer to me. Several of them even took the initiative to approach
Seeing that had quelled the conflict between the students I secretly heaved a sigh of relief myself. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't succeeded in calming them down."So what are you doing about Dominic's issue?" someone asked after some minutes. "I mean, we can't let a criminal like him roam free.""Exactly," another person chimed in. "He's too dangerous for him to run free. We need to get him behind bars as quickly as possible."I smiled confidently before saying, "Well, I have that in mind. But I still don't have any evidence against him.""Can't you like get him to confess with his own mouth and then do an audio recording?" someone asked. "I believe with your oratory skills it wouldn't be hard for you to drive him insane with words and get him into saying something really stupid."I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. So these guys have begun adding my oratory skills to the book. Well, I was glad abou
I was still standing beside my car, thinking about the mission when I spotted a Rolls Royce drive into the school. I immediately knew who the owner of the car was and clenched my fists angrily. Even those who were new to this school knew that this car belonged to Dominic.It seemed he didn't see me because he drove some meters close to my car and stopped. After some minutes I saw him alight from the Rolls Royce. I had expected Sophia to be there as well but she was nowhere to be found around Dominic. I couldn't help wave her from my mind as I waited for Dominic to walk away from the car. He wasn't with his henchmen as well and was all alone.At that time Dominic saw my car and revealed a shocked expression. He was even more shocked when he saw me standing beside my car, whole and hearty. I didn't know what he was thinking in that mind of his but I knew that he was definitely wondering how I was still alive despite him clearly sending people to assassinate me. His mouth was agape and h
After seeing that Dominic had lost all form of resistance I immediately went straight to the point, "Why did you send men to assassinate me again?"After hearing this question I saw Dominic's face contort in more shock as he stared at me as if I was a demon. He didn't say anything and just stared at me for several seconds without saying a single word."Do you think you were going to succeed this time by sending them to ambush me on the highway?" I asked Dominic again.The bully opened his mouth to say something but no word came out. It seemed as if he had suddenly forgotten how to speak. Well, I understood the situation perfectly. I had been there more than once and was now a pro in situations just like this."Aren't you gonna talk again?" I asked. "Or are you afraid because you don't have your boys around with you? No one will be there to point a gun at me if I speak too much?"Finally, Dominic spoke, "How did you survive again? They sent me the news that they had shot your car and c
Dominic glared at me for some moments without wondering why I had suddenly gotten very bold. It seemed he was so bent on dealing with me that he forgot about logic. Well, I didn't blame him because he was naturally dumb. It's myself I blame because I had underestimated his dumbness."You're gonna pay for humiliating me all those days!" he yelled as he advanced towards me and threw his right punch at me angrily.I didn't bother to dodge as I stood still, watching his punch approach me. Just as his fist was almost near my face I reached out my left hand to grab it in place. I couldn't help but smile when I saw the shock on Dominic's face."B-but," he was now stuttering, "you were clearly weak moments before now!"My smile couldn't help but widen as I said, "I guess it's a secret."I then pulled him closer to me and at the same moment extended my right hand towards his chest, opening my palm. I controlled my strength to a very small degree so that I wouldn't break his bone in the process
I saw Dominic stare at all of his father's lackeys for some time as if wondering why they weren't making a move. Then he shouted after losing his patience, "Just get him already!"One of the men immediately took the initiative to attack as he swung his axe at me, hoping to cleave me into halves with it. But I wouldn't let him do that, would I?I heard screams from the students as I turned immediately and grabbed his wrist before delivering a powerful punch to his face. His nose was broken and blood spurted out as he tumbled to the ground with a loud yell. I heard the students let out gasps but I was in no mood to reply."I said get him!" Dominic was now losing his mind. "Can't you see he's very dangerous?!"All the men immediately began attacking me with their weapons. I knew that I was in the public and I couldn't take on damage in order to activate Rush Absorption. They were all holding weapons and once everyone discovered that I actually healed from injuries, questions and suspicio
"System, activate Rush Absorption," I muttered to the Enigmatic System as I winced in pain. I was about to face the toughest person ever.[RUSH ABSORPTION ACTIVATED][NEW MISSION UPDATE][MISSION DESCRIPTION: DEFEAT DOMINIC'S BODYGUARD IN THIRTY MINUTES][MISSION REWARDS: GET TO USE THE ENIGMATIC SYSTEM AS BODYGUARD FOR ONCE][PUNISHMENT: LOSE ALL FORM OF PROTECTION FOR 24 HOURS]After seeing the mission description I couldn't help but think it was easy. The rewards also made me beam inwardly. But after seeing the punishment I couldn't help but narrow my eyes. I currently had a quest to investigate all of Dominic's files in the hospital. What if I failed this mission? Wouldn't it affect the other mission so badly that I was gonna fail?Pa!I heard a crisp sound and immediately moved sideways, reacting in time. Damn, the man was still very fast despite using Rush Absorption. He was still slightly faster than me and I believed other aspects of his physical condition would be higher as w
