Max sat down thinking of how he could get out of Zaco's trap. It was evident that he was in another universe that he didn't know much about. " There had to be a loophole. There has to be something I am missing." Max was thinking to himself when he heard a hit at the back of his head. " I told you I am going to kill you myself. The funniest thing is if you die here then there is no way back into your real world." Zaco said with a smile on his face.Max stood up, " I don't know what else you want from me. I even had to give Tiffany up."Zaco grinned, "No you didn't. You came back to haunt me and made me realize not everything is money and god knows who the hell has got your back. You suddenly get rich, dating the hottest girl in the university. Something I had tried hard to do, you got them all done. Damn! You will live the life I had wished for. I wished there was a way out of prison after all."Max looked at Zaco and realized this was just an illusion. " how are you still able to op
" I am not doing this for Tiffany." " Oh, that's a cool name. Nevertheless Max you need to make peace with this. Zaco is having the upper hand here and from the way I see that kid, his parents must be quite rich. You need to let this go if not for anything but for your own sake. There are many girls on the campus, you can just find yourself one and begin again."" Are you not getting this? This goes way beyond a girl's fight. Zaco wants me to die here so that I can't return to my world. I have a face waiting back for me and you of course."Darius looked at Max, " What are you saying to me? Are you telling me you are not from this world?" Max looked at Darius and saw he wasn't believing him. " I don't know why you are finding it hard to believe any of this. The Darius in my world didn't have much problem believing everything that unfolded. The system, the powers, and the wealth. So what with this, Darius." Max said, getting up from his seat.Darius looked at Max as he walked to get h
Max and Darius brainstormed possible locations where Zaco could have taken Amy. Max's knowledge from his world gave them some insights into Zaco's potential hideouts. As they discussed, Max's phone beeped with a message.[Message from Zaco]"I have your precious assistant. If you want her back, come alone to the abandoned warehouse near the university. No tricks, or she pays the price."Darius clenched his fists, "We can't trust him. He might harm Amy even if we go as he says."Max nodded, "You're right. We need a plan. I have an idea. Let's use the Pyramid Wealth System. It might give us an edge."[Ting!][Task incoming][Task: Rescue Amy from Zaco's hideout] [Prize: $500,000]Max smirked, "Looks like the system is on our side. We complete this task, get the reward, and rescue Amy at the same time. It is a win for us. All the system ever does is be on our side."Darius raised an eyebrow, "System or not, we need to be careful. Zaco might have some tricks up his sleeve."Max looked at
Max looked at Darius's body, as he was knocked out cold. " What do you want, Zaco? I am tired of this game." He said trying to make Zaco let his guard down." Oh, Max! All you need to do is due and let me rule like the king I am. I will have both worlds."" Promise me, you won't lay a finger on my friends in both worlds." Max said as he saw Eddy moving his fingers over his tech watch. " Now!."Max ran toward Zaco knocking him down to the ground and both began to exchange blows. During their fight Max noticed that Zaco was stronger than he was. " Surprise Max. You can't beat me here. This is my world and here you play by my rules."Eddy got up and Jonas went for his injury, " How dare you betray us like this? Do you think you can just walk out of here alive? Not on my watch."The battle was fierce as both crews paired up to fight against each other.Darius woke up and crawled toward Amy." Stop! Who is that? Please don't harm me." Amy pleaded, not knowing who it was.Darius loosened
Eddy immediately looked for a car and they left Zaco's liar. He contacted one of his doctors and he came at once. "Can you all leave and let me do my work?" Amy looked frightened, " Is he going to be alright?" I need to at least check his vitals and know what is happening with him. I can't give you any hope right now."Doctor Brian gathered his kits and looked at the nurse that was with him, " Hey, grab me that pillow, tilt his head up with that."" We need to leave so that he can have the space to himself. What is your deal with Max and why are you helping him? Do you believe in two worlds? To me, I find it funny."Darius walked with Eddy, " From what had been going on, I believed everything Max said down to the system part."" System! Huh? What is that?"" It is not in my place to tell you anything because I am having a hard time understanding how it works. Looks like some entity that gives out tasks and in return gives us a lot of money for the completion of each task."Eddy rais
Doctor Brian walked in on them, " I think I have to go now. Please update me on how Max feels when he is awake. But he would be fine and also let him know he needs to drink a lot of water and keep his head bandaged for some time."The trio exchanged glances, as Doctor Brian made his exit, leaving them with the weight of uncertainty regarding Max's condition. Amy, still on edge, asked, "Do you think Max will be okay? What if there are lasting effects from whatever happened?"Eddy sighed, "We can only hope for the best. The doctor did his part, and now it's up to Max to recover. We'll support him, whatever it takes."Darius, now in fresh clothes, chimed in, "Speaking of support, let's figure out how to deal with this bill. Amy, I appreciate your help back there, and we all owe Doctor Brian a significant amount. I'll cover the remaining $30,000."Eddy nodded appreciatively, "Thanks, Darius. I'll transfer my share to you once we're done here."Amy, looking at the comic books in his hands,
Max slowly opened his eyes, the dim light of the room gradually revealing the unfamiliar surroundings. The throbbing pain in his head reminded him of the recent events, and as he tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through his body. He winced, gripping the edge of the bed."Easy there, Max. You took quite a hit," a calm voice spoke, and Max turned his head to see Doctor Brian, who was adjusting some medical equipment nearby. Amy, Eddy, and Darius were standing around, their faces a mix of relief and concern.Max attempted a weak smile, "Guess I'm not invincible after all."Amy rushed forward, her eyes filled with worry, "Max! You're awake. How are you feeling?"Max was surprised at the way Amy felt, it almost looked like he was in his world where his friends worshipped him like he was a god.Max gingerly touched the bandage on his head, "Like I went ten rounds with a heavyweight boxer. But I'll survive. What happened?"Eddy stepped forward, explaining the events since Max lost consciou
" I think it is settled then. We need to move fast Eddy, we don't know the danger Zico is in."Max is determined to follow them, " I am fine okay. I can handle myself.""Are you sure about this? We don't know Zaco as much as you. But if he is deadly then you need to stay back. We can handle him on our own."" I promise I won't slow you down." The crew, now focused on finding Zico, gathered their belongings and prepared to follow the signal Eddy had traced. Max, though weakened, was determined to contribute to their mission.As they made their way through the unfamiliar territory, Amy kept a watchful eye on Max, concerned about his well-being. "Max, you really should take it easy. We don't want you passing out on us again," she urged."I appreciate the concern, Amy, but time is of the essence. We can't afford to waste any more of it," Max replied, determination overshadowing the pain in his eyes.Darius chimed in, "Max is right. We need to move quickly, but we also need to be cautious
