Henry told his father and Jordan about the club incident when he got beaten up by Blurb and then how Michel came to arrest him and broke his leg at the police station. Henry also told them about that night’s event but didn’t mention killing anyone. He said, “When we were on our way to a hotel room with her, she revealed her true identity to me and then warned me that if I didn’t tell her about the person who told me to do that work, then she will destroy me. My friend was with me, and she poisoned him just to show that she wasn’t joking.”“So, was she the one who dropped you off at the hospital?” Jordan asked him.“Y- yes,” Henry replied hesitantly.Henry’s father was angry with him after he heard that he bullied someone just because someone mocked him in front of his girlfriend. “I knew you were a fool, but to think that you’d get manipulated this easily. It’s truly a shame…” he said.“I am sorry, Dad,” Henry said with a sad voice. “I promise, I won’t do this ever again.”Denial look
Hearing Henry say that, Jordan got confused and asked, “What do you mean? You just said that he twisted his neck, and now you are saying that he wasn’t dead?”“Yess…” Henry answered and explained, “I received a phone call from him, and he said that he doesn't remember anything that happened last night. The only thing he knew was that we were taking a hot lady to a hotel room… just hearing his voice made all my tension and anger go away. That was the moment I realized my mistake, and now I just want to apologize to both of them. But there is one person who I don’t want to forgive at all cost.”Jordan listened to Henry and stood quietly. He finally understood what Henry and his father were trying to say to him. Jordan assured him that he respects his decision and would always be by his side, no matter if it’s about revenge or peace. Jordan also told him that he’ll do whatever he can to know about the guy who he wants to take revenge from. And then he left the cabin, leaving Henry alone
Later that day, Drake came to meet me at the Mansion. I was watching TV in the living room, and Rosa was sitting on the other sofa with Jenna. Of course, she was cursing me as usual. When I saw Drake coming towards me, I turned off the TV and stood up to greet him.“Long time no see, sir,” I greeted him and shook our hands.“It’s been a while indeed, Blurb. How’s your leg doing?” Drake asked.“My whole body’s feeling muscle cramps right now,” I said, stretching my body with a painful sound effect. “And you know the reason how.”“Haha, so she decided to train you, huh?”“She’s a demon, bro. I’ve done training before as well, but no one tried killing me with these intense workouts,” I lamented in front of Drake. I knew that Lisa wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I agreed to this willingly. But still, with Drake around, I felt like opening up.“It’s fine,” Drake told me and continued, “Believe me, you are quite lucky if Madam Lisa is training you herself. She’ll make you the person you ne
“Say what?” Lisa looked at him in shock. “How did my sister find out about this? Did you tell her?” she asked Marx.“You see the difference between you and your sister now? You might be her elder sister, but she’s way sharper than you'll ever be,” he replied.Lisa clicked her tongue and turned away, leaving the place.“My dear Athena! I wonder how much you've changed in the past few years,” Marx mused, gazing at her photo.Meanwhile, Lisa arrived at the mansion where Drake and I were still engrossed in casual conversation while a maid served us food. Lisa glanced at them before heading to her room to change. Entering the bathroom, she luxuriated in the warm water. “Ah, yes! This warm water is exactly what I needed,” she sighed with relief, though her expression soon shifted to worry.“If Athena comes to the house, it’ll be chaotic here, and the silence of this mansion will be gone,” she muttered to herself. “Well, she's going to stay here for a few days, so I guess I can deal with it.
The next day, Lisa seemed worked up for the exercise. She wore a different workout outfit and arrived at the garden before me. I approached her, “Good morning, Lisa. You're up early today, huh?”“You dare to come fifteen minutes late and then mock me by saying that I woke up early?” Lisa retorted while stretching.“No… I came on time, what are you talking about?”“Shut up! As a student, it’s your duty to arrive before your teacher.”“Fine! Fine!” I acquiesced and began my basic exercises.As I followed her lead, I pondered how I could convince her to exercise with me. I recalled Drake's advice, though I wasn’t confident it would work. “Well, there’s nothing to lose but a lot to gain. So here goes nothing,” I thought as Lisa and I finished our basic body stretching.“Alright! It’s time for you to run,” said Lisa.“It’s time for us to run,” I corrected her.“Hmm…? It’s just your second day, and you want me to run with you?”“Why? You don’t have the stamina?” I teased.Lisa laughed, “Are
Drake arrived to pick me up at noon, and after having lunch, we set off together. I couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion about why I was the one escorting him. I mean, if it’s about strength, then I might be the one who would need his protection, and he’s already far sharper than me when it comes to strategy-making. “Am I developing some kind of inferiority complex?” I pondered, staring out of the window.“Is something bothering you?” Drake asked, his eyes focused on the road.“You know… Just confused as to why I'm the one escorting you. I mean, you didn’t bring any guards with you here,” I inquired, turning to face him.“Guards? Why would we need them? We're just going to meet Lucas and will come back as soon as we're done. Also, if you're wo
Approximately fourteen people were approaching us, but after hearing Drake’s warning, five of them backed down. Perhaps it was due to his overwhelming killing aura, too powerful for a normal person to confront. The remaining nine people decided to charge at once. A big, fat guy, wielding a sharp shushikiri, attempted to attack Drake first.Drake's muscles tensed as he stepped back, then he grabbed the fat guy’s hand and started squeezing. The fat guy tried to free himself by attacking with his other hand, but that turned out to be the worst move he could have made. Everyone intending to attack stopped in their tracks when they saw their most formidable member immobilized. Drake effortlessly twisted both of the fat guy’s hands, dislocating his hand bones. The shushikiri fell from his grip, and he screamed so loudly that the others stepped back in fear. Despite this, they decided to charge him again, all at once this time. Drake remained composed, and as they attacked, he evaded and co
When we reached the hacker’s home, three people were sprawled out on the ground and sofa, clearly exhausted from overwork. One of them was still sitting in front of a computer. Drake approached him, and as soon as the hacker noticed Drake, he stood up and greeted him with respect. He completely ignored me until Drake called me over. I didn’t mind; the guy looked like he could collapse at any moment. Empty energy drink cans were scattered all over his table.“Man! You sure worked all night, it seems,” I said in surprise.“Ah, yes… That guy’s phone had some tight security, and we almost got exposed once because the police were tracking his phone. So we had to track the police data as well in order to find an opening,” he explained.“So were you able to unlock his phone and get the details?” Drake asked.“About that…” the hacker said, sitting back down in front of his computer.Drake and I stood behind him as he opened a gallery folder and showed us some unusual pictures of Michel.“What
