Tristan felt terrible as he listened to her, he couldn't believe what she had gone through for his sake, and also couldn't believe that once again someone was after his life.He recalled from the start, Mr. John Wilson wanted the downfall of Wilson's Cooperative in his hands, he ended up getting the man convicted and a relative of his assigned Drake to assassinate him, and now someone named Ghost wants his life."Could it be another relative?" he wondered and focused on Marie's narration."I wanted to live," she cried," I didn't want to die, I was so afraid that they would shoot my head off, so I had no choice but to comply. They followed me to the restaurant and sat amid the crowd. I didn't know how to ask you all the questions they told me to ask or explain anything dishonest to you."" I was guilt-tripped by your presence that I reacted the way I did, and that was when everything else happened." She ended her story and turned to Tristan and said," I am very sorry, I should have t
He picked up the call immediately and said,"Please I'll call you later, I'm busy right now okay?" Claudia disconnected the call even before he finished talking and Tristan sighed,"I'll take care of you later," He said and faced the people he was addressing."So, can we pull it off?" "You speak like it's a big thing, sir," Harry retorted,"Only one of us can find out within minutes," He added and the others concurred."Alright then, shall we proceed, if I can find the location now it'll be okay." He commanded and one of the men present in the room set to work.The rest of them left the room since they were not needed, while Tristan stayed with the man who concentrated on the task.Tristan thought it would take less than ten minutes with how Harry belittled the search, but thirty minutes had passed and he was yet to know the location of the phone when that call was made."What is going on?" He asked."Her device is well-secured sir, I'm finding it hard to hack into her location sett
A shiver went down Tristan's spine, he tried to avoid giving off the guilt, but then again none of this was his fault."System you should take care of this, it's not me who made myself a CEO," [ Get an attorney, he'll advise you on what to do]"So Mr Coleman, do you have any proof against mine?" Joel asked.Tristan couldn't say a word immediately because he didn't know how to respond, and worse, it wasn't a good day for such an incident."Why so silent now Mr Coleman?" Mr Joel asked as if trying to intentionally piss Tristan off."I do not have any proof against yours, but I'll consult my lawyer so that we can come to an amicable resolution." He said."I am waiting, I have nowhere else to be," said Mr Joel."What do you mean? I intend for us to have a meeting with him tomorrow, I have a lot to deal with today, except my lawyer represents me while I take my leave." "I suggest you take care of this one first Mr Coleman," Mr Joel interjected."Matters like this can cause the downfall o
"Fine," she said and disconnected the call immediately, Tristan sighed thinking that she got mad only for him to receive a message less than a minute later.The message was from Claudia and it contained the phone number of the person who sent the picture to her, and she sent the picture along with a message which she wrote,"I hope with this you can come up with your lies, but I won't be the one you will tell those lies to." "Don't worry, you'll soon understand everything," Tristan typed, but as soon as he sent the message, he realized that Claudia had blocked him./ Disrespectful isn't it/"It's not her fault, I just hope one day she'll realize that I'm not one of those men out there who treats women like they are instruments to be used." / Aside from that, she'll soon realize one day that celebrities will flock at your feet and beg for your love, she only acts this way now because she knows you'll always come back to beg/"as I said, I don't blame her, I've known from the start th
[ Warning- This chapter contains disturbing content that may or may scare you to the edge of your seat, proceed with caution]"Did you hear that?" Tristan asked Max."Very clearly sir, we should stay alert, it may be the ghost that he just spoke to who knows?" " Well, one of my objectives is to survive within the building until I find that ghost, unmask him, and know why he wants me dead. System how many points do I have?"/ Total number of exp points left - 172/" Good enough to explore with," he concluded and turned from the door. Just as Marie had described, the first place was empty, there was no windows or door in this large hall, no chairs or desk, the floor was black and shiny and Tristan couldn't help but wonder what this place was for.There wasn't anything scary in there, so he proceeded further into the building, towards a hallway with an unstable lightbulb. The bulb dangled from side to side like it would fall off the ceiling, and the light was unstable as it kept changi
"Wow, I can't believe it!" Tristan exclaimed, still in shock that the shield caused the bullet to bounce off his skin, but Max looked the least surprised because it wasn't a new occurrence to him."Yes sir, it's nothing new," Max answered./-1 exp points/"Oh yeah, pay as you use," Tristan said and requested that the shield be taken down which was done immediately.He continued confidently towards the end of the hallway, each step he took echoed but he did not care. As they approached the end of the hallway, there were three diversions, one leading forward but downstairs, while the ones on the right and left side led upstairs.While he contemplated on what path to take, he heard a hissing sound, and no one knew the sound a snake makes better than Tristan because of his hatred for the reptile.Unable to discern what path the serpent was coming from, Tristan waited with his eyes staring in all directions sporadically. And as soon as he set eyes on the slippery reptile coming down the st
Tristan's heart pounded in his chest, this was a lose-or-lose situation without a way out."You fool! you will not get anything out of this!" he yelled."I will get the truth, nothing more, so Tristan, you have ten seconds to tell me whether or not you possess the system... 10""I don't, if you want to know then come here and face me!" Tristan yelled."9" "8""System I need you to do something, can you follow this voice and find where he is?""7"/I can master/"6""Then do it, I have no choice but to let him know that I have the system, but I can't let him get away afterward,""5"/Alright master/"4""3""When you find out, send me the location,"/I will/"2""1""You have made your choice Coleman!" the voice exclaimed."Kill him!" he added./-1 exp points/"Wait!" Tristan yelled attempting to keep the voice talking long enough for the system to do what he had instructed."I'm all ears," the voice replied."What would you do if you found out that I have this so-called system that y
/ Objective 2 - using the information from Marie locate the building and find your way around using the system's features - complete!// You have been rewarded with 100 exp points and 10 gift points/ / 10 boost points have been added automatically/"That is three objectives down, two more to go," Tristan muttered as he and Max walked out of the exit.They didn't encounter any other obstacle leaving the facility, but as soon as they stepped out, the security personnel who had ushered them in earlier pointed his gun at them alongside three others."Oh I see, so you work for the ghost too?" Tristan uttered without a hint of fear, he wasn't intimidated by the presence of three mere men, especially after taking care of twelve alone."Just follow me into the car and we'll all leave this place alive," said the security."Haha," Tristan laughed and took a few steps forward after asking the system to initiate its shield."Move back or I'll shoot you," The security said and Tristan raised his
