As I saw the men in black hop out of their cars, I couldn't help but wonder why the Wade family was always sending their men to hunt me. I shielded Paulina who didn't have any player skill yet as the men aimed their guns at me. "Long time no see," Darwin said as he walked towards me. "It hasn't been up to hours and you're already enjoying yourself." "What do you want?!" I immediately yelled at him as I clenched my fists. "What do I want?" Darwin asked in a very cold voice. "Of course you know what I really want from you but are you willing to give it to me?" As I stood facing them I couldn't help but wonder how to get myself from this situation. Darwin didn't know that I was the person from last night who had stolen Dominic's criminal record. This was because if he knew, he would have attacked me a long time ago without engaging in small talks with me. "Who is he
When we got to the house Paulina was still shivering from the whole incident. I would have been scared if this had been the first time witnessing something like this but I was already experienced. I have taken different types of missions and gained experience from them all. "Who the hell was that really?!" Paulina was screaming when we got to the sitting room. Her entire body was covered in cold sweat and she was already panting. "Easy, Paulina," I tried to calm her down. "We didn't get hurt so why are you still scared?" "Aren't you scared?" she asked me in surprise. "Yes," I replied. "I'm really scared of that guy and it's because I can't fight him yet. But I can always find a way to escape since I already know five of his players' skills and can guard against them." "No wonder you reacted quickly to the lightning strike," Paulina said thoughtfully.
That evening after discussing with Paulina, I decided to give Stephen a call. Since he was a private detective he was more experienced than us. So he would be the best person to turn to for help in situations like this. The Wade family was already at my heels and I didn't know how to handle the situation. First, I wasn't as wealthy and influential as the Wade family. Heck, most people still didn't know me despite me being the talk on social media. Second, my player level was too low. I was just at level three while a single bodyguard in the Wade family was already at level ten. The difference was as clear as day and night and couldn't be breached in a short amount of time. I didn't even know whether Darwin was the weakest bodyguard the Wade family had and if there were other bodyguards in a very high level than him. I took my phone and gave Stephen a call. For some time he didn't pick but after five times of trying he fin
The sitting room was silent for some moments as every one of us was embedded in his own thoughts. I couldn't help but wonder how long this silence would last because it was becoming too heavy for me to bear.[YOU STILL HAVE ME]Don't me shout at you, system, I said inwardly so as not to disturb anyone's thoughts. [STOP SAYING WHAT YOU CANNOT DO]The Enigmatic System sent another message but I didn't reply and swiped the holographic screen from my face."From what I know Mr. Wade isn't that simple himself," Stephen finally broke the silence and I was glad he actually did that. I was very emotional and wanted to hug him at that moment but held myself.This my Joker personality is developing into something else, I couldn't help but clench my fists in order to control myself from acting on my impulse. And my impulse was telling me to stand up and give Stephen a big hug."He has Darwin as one of his bodyguards based on my investigations," Stephen continued. "There are a bunch of other bod
After talking about the Download skill we soon decided to get back to the matter at hand. The Wade family had now made it clear that they are after me so I needed to find a way to get out of this predicament. I was only a level three player and wasn't yet a billionaire so I couldn't match up to Mr. Wade yet. If it had been only Dominic then he wouldn't have been a problem. But now the entire Wade family was involved and I didn't know how to handle it."I think we should do something they least expect us to do," Stephen finally suggested. He was very smart and I give him credit for that despite knowing that he has a crush on my girlfriend. I won't let that affect my judgment in any way."Something like what?" I asked Stephen and waited for his answer.Stephen stood up and folded his hands as he walked from his position casually. I'd watched several mystery movies so I knew that detectives walked this way in them when they were analyzing something or coming out with theories.Paulina st
After we were done with the plan Stephen stayed behind to have lunch with us. We watched some TV and discussed several topics before he finally took his leave around 5:00pm. He looked very tired as he walked out of the mansion. "He's an introvert," Paulina said. "Socializing drains him out more than anything." "No wonder he needs rest every moment," I replied to her. "Yeah," Paulina nodded. She then asked me, "What plans do you have concerning school?" "I'm glad you asked," I replied with a smile. "I want to overthrow Dominic as the star of the school." "Huh?" Paulina raised her eyebrows. "This is part of your revenge against Dominic?" "Yes," I replied. "I want to make him lose face in all aspects of life. And it's gonna start in school." "Tell me more," Paulina was very interested in the topic. "There's
I pushed the door abruptly and ended up destroying it with my immense strength. I then ran very quickly and appeared in the shopping mall. I was very fast that I was literally moving like the wind. When I got into the shopping mall I saw several people lying sprawled on the ground. They all faced down and didn't dare look up as they waved their hands in fear. Five armed robbers were aiming at them with AK-47s while others were stealing money and other valuable things from the people and shopping mall. No one was spared. "This isn't right!" a man suddenly yelled. He wasn't even lying down like the others and had a very bold expression. When I looked at his height I knew that it was the major factor of his boldness. He was very tall and easily reached 6'6 inches. "And who are you to tell us this?" one of the armed robbers asked as he aimed his gun at the man. "Get the f*ck down there or find the hard way
The next day was Saturday and I didn't have classes. So I was very free to do anything I want without going to school. Well, I wanted to stay at home and rest all day because the past weeks had been hellish for me. I didn't even get a single time to rest with the tasks and missions coming up every now and then. As I lay in bed lazing out I couldn't help but stare at Paulina who was still asleep. She was dressed in a pink nightgown and looked very cute in it. I almost reached out to kiss her but stopped myself from doing that. I didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep. At that moment I saw a notification screen and almost threw a punch at the incorporeal Enigmatic System.
