Aimy pleaded for her life telling Zaco she had seen nothing and would not divulge any information to either Darius or Max. " I promise, I won't talk about this with anyone. I will keep my mouth sealed." Aimy figured as Zaco walked up to her seat. He carefully placed his hands over her shoulder. " you see my dear Aimy, you need to be gone for my plan to work. I can't have you ruin everything I have fought so hard to build and am sure Zico wouldn't want that either." Zaco said going out of the dark room. Aimy tried to free herself, she made some squeak sound as she tried to loosen the tied ropes around her hands. The rope came off leaving marks all over her wrist. Amy sighed and carefully removed the blindfold on her face. She was able to look around the room where she was kept as a captive. Zack left the door unlocked because he believed Aimy could never free herself.Amy's heart raced as she surveyed the dimly lit room, her eyes adjusting to the newfound freedom from the blindfold. T
Aimy was able to escape Zico's cages after some weeks. As she navigated her way through the street, the car hirn barred at her. She was confused and didn't know where she was. Aimy couldn't see well at first because she had been kept indoors for a long time. " Will you get off the road?" a man shouted in annoyance at her. Aimy came back to her senses and knew she had to go and see Darius. As she was about to call a taxi she thought to herself " Is it safe to go and talk to him? Zico knows where I work and he could always find me anytime he wants. I better get to the hospital first and check on my grandmother." Aimy thought to herself and ordered the taxi to go straight to the hospital. She was on her way to see her grandmother after being called to the hospital. Zico used the opportunity to abduct her. " Who knows it might even be Zico who made a false alarm to her so she can leave her work." Amy thought again.After Zico and Zaco were done talking. Zico told his twin brother of his
As they were about to enter their cars. Darius' phone rang and he looked at his screen to know who the caller was but the caller had the name hidden. "It's me, Aimy." the caller said silently. " Aimy, where the hell have you been? I had to report you missing to the police when I didn't hear from you." Darius said over the phone.Immediately Zico began to track the call. He knew there would be trouble if Darius and his comrades got to the hospital before him. As Darius dropped the call, he told Max and Irrisia about the whereabouts of Aimy. " I think she is in danger, we need to act fast," Darius said looking worried.The trio entered their car and drove straight to the hospital. Zico got there before them but didn't know how to track Aimy's location. He decided to call the line again but Aimy refused to pick up. " F*ck!" Zico shouted on the hospital premises. All gaze were fixed on him and he silently went out of the hospital building, heading back into his car. He thought of what t
The gym was dimly lit, casting shadows on the faces of Max and Darius as they huddled together, the air thick with tension and revelations. Darius, nursing his wounds, began to unravel the mystery surrounding Zico's actions. " I think I know who he is. I have never seen anyone fight the way he does. He is fast and super smart. More like a robotic soldier." Darius told Max as he dressed his wounds. Max looked at him hoping for more details "Zico is not just a criminal; he's part of a bigger scheme. I've heard whispers of an underground organization, operating in the shadows, pulling strings beyond our comprehension," Darius confessed, his eyes reflecting a mix of weariness and determination. Max looked worried. " Is the system also an organization trying to fight Zaco's organization?" Lots of thoughts flooded Max's head. He knew he was entering a dangerous game immediately he started receiving money from the system. But he didn't know because he was able to solve his problems and als
Zaco also kept tabs on Max and Irrisia, he saw them as competition and he was astonished at the way both lavish money on the school premises. " Where the hell do they get their money from? The last time I checked, Max was just a poor orphan boy who would always do everything and anything we told him to do. But now, the reverse is the case." Jason said, looking at Zaco for some answers." Don't look at me with that face. I don't know where the hell he got his money from. Maybe he now belongs to a secret organization" Zaco busted out." What do you mean? Am sure you are kidding right?" one of his friends asked, looking serious.As they were talking about Max and Irrisia, both walked past them holding hands. " What the hell? Speaking of the devil." Jason said, looking at them. Irrisia saw the look on their faces and intentionally halted dropping her handbag. Max quickly went back to get it for her and when he walked closer to her, she kissed him and smiled " Thank you honey." irrisia sai
Both Irrisia and Max checked their phones to see why the system beeped but to their surprise, it wasn't their phones. They both looked at each other and wondered what was going on. " I think you should check your phone, Darius." Max suggested to clear his curiosity. " Why should I? What's happening?" Darius asked looking at both Irrisia and Max.Max urged him to check his phone and he did. " What in the name of the seven gods is this?" Darius shouted in surprise. " Is this even real?""Can I see it?" Max asked. Darius showed the message to Max who laughed and shared his story and encounter with the system. " Do you remember that I was acting weird the day you brought me to the hospital? That was the reason then. The system helped me achieve what I am today and even gave Irrisia back her legs." Max told Darius." But who is the system? And how sure are you that they are not messing with us?" Darius asked, looking worried. He didn't want to be part of anything illegal that would lead
[Ting!][Task incoming][Task: Ensure the safety of your home and loved ones] [Prize: $100,000]"It's like the system heard us," Max muttered, surprised. Irrisia happily nodded, "Let's accept the task. Maybe it can help us fortify the house or provide some kind of protection."With a unanimous decision, Max accepted the task. The system immediately responded.[Task in progress]While waiting for further instructions, they decided to reinforce the security of the house.

Zico felt irritated by all that was happening. " How the hell did Irrisia survive that crash? I had hoped she died in it. And why is Zaco calm about all of this? He is supposed to be on my side." Zico said, slamming his hand against the table.He went into the bathroom to have a cold bath as he took off his clothes and marks were visibly seen all over his body. Zico had been the one always coming to Zaco's aid and he was doing a perfect job. Everything began to change when he met Max. Zaco entered the penthouse " Zico, are you there?" he asked, opening the door to the main house. He could hear the gushing sound of water so he knew he was having his bath. Zico heard his voice but refused to answer him. " I know you are angry with me but I just have to tell you to let me handle things for a while. I know you are trying to help but things have not been going fine since we met that boy Max. We can't kill everyone just because they are on our bad side. There are different ways to attack a
