I ran towards him with my arms behind me before jumping high into the air to deliver several stomps at him as I approached. I thought the man wouldn't be able to take my hits this time but to my surprise, he blocked all of them and forced me to bounce backwards into the air. As I landed I couldn't help but wonder how much strength this man had to fight me who had my physical condition maximized by two hundred percent. It was baffling."Impressive again, but I was holding back!" the man suddenly kicked off the ground with his right foot and lunged towards me with his arms extended.What kind of Kung Fu is this? I wondered as I threw a punch at his face, thinking he wouldn't be able to control his momentum now that he was lunging towards me. But to my greatest surprise, he tilted his head to the right at the last moment before giving m
I didn't know when I passed out in the car but when I woke up, I was already on my lawn. I didn't even remember how long I'd been unconscious. The injuries all of my body stung me like bees and I couldn't help but grit my teeth to keep the pain at bay. But it wasn't helping."Activate Healing," I said as I inhaled deeply. I hadn't used this skill for two reasons. The first one was because the students had been there at the fighting scene. The second reason was because I wasn't killing my targets. I didn't want them to know about my secret and start spreading it. I always made my enemies take my secret to the grave.I got out of the car and looked at the time. It was 9:00 am. It was still morning and I was back in the house. I just began wondering how Paulina would react to me coming earlier than normal today. Would she be happy seein
I was still drowning in my thoughts when Paulina's voice sounded, "So what happened at school? Sophia attacked you?"Huh? I didn't know how to respond and was baffled for a few moments. I then remembered something the Enigmatic System had said about her being jealous. I suddenly became enlightened at that very moment and managed a small smile."Why are you smiling?" Paulina asked me. "Is my statement very funny?""Nah," I waved my right hand. "What you asked for is very sweet. I mean, it's as sweet as you are."I could see her cheeks turn red as she blushed and smiled. I could see dimples appear deeply on both sides of her face and she looked very gorgeous. I couldn't help but wonder where she had been when I dated
Around 10:00 am I had a cold shower and changed my outfit. Now I was dressed in a black hoodie and black combat pants. When I got to the sitting room I saw Paulina already seated watching the News."Jason!" she yelled. "Come and see what you've sparked!"I immediately went there and saw the same female newscaster talking on TV with the headline: Man sparks reaction as he defeats several armed men and cripples them."Jason Lewis is a computer engineer in one of the most prestigious universities in this country," the female newscaster said. "Just recently he's been involved in arguments with Dominic and has been taunting him continuously..."Paulina glared at me after hearing that. I couldn't help but shrink back into
After watching the news I decided to tell Paulina about the mission the Enigmatic System had given me. But I decided to do so in a roundabout manner and not expose the existence of the Enigmatic System. I would say someone asked me to get Dominic's files from the police station in twenty four hours. And now it was less than twenty four hours and I'd not even done anything."Paulina," I called her softly as I prepared myself to use the right word in order not to freak her out with what I was about to do.Paulina sized me up for some time before saying, "Let me guess. You're up to something dangerous again, right?"What?! I couldn't help but want to bury my face deep in the sofa. She already saw through me and knew I was ready to do something dangerous! Well, this was really v
After some moments I replied with seriousness in my voice, "I get. I'm going to come back in one piece no matter what. Not ready to lose any part of my body."Even though I do, the Enigmatic System is gonna heal me, I added inwardly and I could bet my lips were already curling upwards into a warm smile.[IT SEEMS THE PLAYER ISN'T RESPECTING HIMSELF RIGHT NOW]Mind your business! I yelled at the system inwardly. Don't keep poking your nose into my matters!"I trust you then," Paulina told me. "Since you've promised to come back in one piece, I'll trust you with this.""Thanks for giving me your trust," I said to her. "I won't disappoint you no matter what."<
"Stephen Wale?" I asked with a surprised expression. "Stephen Wale is your friend?""Yeah," she replied. "We're best friends at that. Which is why he isn't taking it lightly after discovering that I was involved in an accident. He's bent on bringing justice for me."I clearly knew the Stephen Wale she was talking about. He was the young private detective I'd spoken to some time ago. He was the one who had told me that Dominic's father was backing the government."Seeing how your expression is, I believe you've already met Stephen," Paulina continued."Yes," I replied, remembering how he had interrogated me. "You really have an edgy person for your bestie."
After taking the phone from Paulina I couldn't help but take a deep breath as I said with a stern expression, "Thank you."Paulina stared at me for some moments before asking, "Are we quarreling?"I thought she wouldn't ask since she was keeping a straight face. I immediately replied, "No."Well, the truth was, I wasn't quarreling with Paulina. I was just jealous that she had someone whom she was closer to than me. I'd thought she'd be closer to me since I'd done so much for her. I didn't mean to boast but that was the real truth. I'd done so much for her and yet she was closer to Stephen and saw him as her best friend.Paulina didn't say anything again and resigned herself. I guess we were both angry with each othe
