“Clark says so? How did he learn that?” Talking on his phone, Jann was in the base just like the usual days. But even if he had time to sleep as he could just ask to leave the base of the West 11 gang, he could not have the will to do so. The heavy bags underneath his eyes are clearly visible. [Yeah, he told me he saw some South 15 gang members in the Matrix. You know, that club in the heart of Volmar] “In the Matrix? And what are they doing there?” They know full well that the Volmar does not have any gangs lurking in there for it was a free place. The usual spots where most gangs from all over the whole Bamuer would have such meetings. Treaty, as a matter of fact. Scratching his head as he is already annoyed by the situation of the gang and yet he finds another thing he should worry about, Jann could not help but let out a sigh. [They seem to be having much backup than what we thought] “Those bastards…” He was well aware that ever since long long ago, there is already a tensi
“Clark, you are back”Smiling as he had a chuckle on his lips, day by day, Clark can see how stronger his grandfather became. The hospital is doing its best in providing what Holmet needs.“Shall I take my leave then?”Joking around, Oren giggled as he cut some kiwi on the side.“You got something to do?”“Not much, I am just kidding. Of course I won’t leave grandpa. That is why you should also hire me when grandpa opens his own shop. Okay?”Chuckling, the old man bit another kiwi that Oren prepared.“Of course, if not you then who?”A big grin escapes Oren’s lips.“Grandpa, you are the best!”Slightly shaking his head, Clark finds it wonderful how he could see his grandfather smiling like that.‘To think that such thing is possible…’Things are going in the way he wished it to be. The dungeon is not getting worst. Thanks to him constantly heading inside to kill some monsters. A win win situation since he also wished to level up quickly.His uncle who doesn’t seem to show any more int
“Why are you here?”Talking with his father, it’s been days since they last talk with each other. That is why for Henry, he was aware that Clark just need something from him.“I finished reading all the books in the library”Henry stopped in what he was typing but soon gain back his composure.‘He finished it already? Since when did he…’“I was wondering if you have other books for me to read. Books created by my grandmother”Tapping his finger on the table, Henry was curious why Clark wished to read more books that his grandmother had written. But Henry did not ask any further since it would also be useful for Clark to know more about Mharijane.“All books gathered are placed in that library. Are you sure you finished reading all of it? Even the hidden corridors?”Looking at Clark, he pushed a piece of paper that he ripped in a book file just beside him.“This is…”“The map of the library. There is more than what it seems. Come back if you need anything else”With the map on his hand
“Ah right, did you saw Shanx? Clark?”“No… I haven’t seen him. Why grandpa?”“It was odd, he said he would be back right away. Why is he not here yet?”“If you are worried, I can call him and ask where he is”Nodding his head, the old man agreed in the suggestion that Clark offered.“Sure, please do so. I am a bit worried”Ever since that situation from back then happened, the security is not just doubled but tripled in fact. And because of his connection with Qian Zhan, it was easy for Clark to have a conversation with the hospital’s CEO. Matters was resolved right away.But still, the main reason for that incident is still wandering as they please.“He is not answering…”“Maybe his phone is dead?”Munching a fresh apple on his hands, Oren commented and pointed at the charger beside him.“He broke his charger this morning. For sure his phone is dead by now”“Ah right, they have different chargers, you see”Grandpa Holmet muttered remembering that time.‘Maybe he went in the base’In
“Why are there police here?” Looking at each other, Leo and Clark reach their destination. The very area stated by the system. But what welcomes them was the sight of police putting warning stickers around the abandoned court. “Sir, what happened here?” Leo asked as Clark was there standing behind him with the little pup resting on his chest. Clark was lucky that he brought a sling bag with him, that is what Leo thought. But in fact, he was lucky to buy something like that in his system. Especially when the limits for purchases are no longer an issue. “Please stay back Misters. You can’t be in the area of the crime scene” “A crime?” “Yes, someone died. Seems like a quarrel between gangs of the south and west” Hearing those words, it caught Clark’s attention. “What do you mean? The south 15 gang and the west 11 gang?” “You seems to know much, Mister. You know them?” “I am not sure. But if you tell their names, maybe I would find out” Hesitating whether he shall disclose the i
“Sorry Geoff but this is all that we could tell you. Any more than this, it would be difficult for me”Scrolling to the files that Krain handed him, Clark nod his head as he continued to read those informations.“I understand. Thank you for your help”“But Geoff, what would you do about that? Even the president are being wary about the TH. I am just telling you that since you are not a stranger to me”Faking a smile, Clark taps the papers.“I don’t know them much. So I need to know them first”‘Because before you fight someone, you better know their weaknesses and strengths first. Or in the end, you would be the one on the losing side’Learning that after he lived in a world full of monsters unknown to human kind, the only thing they could do to fight those is to know their weaknesses. Just like how Mamathogoths’s weakness is their skin below their mouth or the Cocorola’s strongest enemy is fire.Clark’s attention was then caught with his phone buzzing. And his eyes widened while putt
“Criss” slightly shaking his head as he called his name, Clark stopped Criss who was about to charge and knock out that guy that pointed them a gun.Anyone would be frightened if someone pointed a gun at them but as for Criss, he was kind of annoyed. He hates how someone can easily frighten others just because he possesses a gun with him.“What are you holding? Give it here”The armed guy mumbled ordering as he noticed the black bat that was on Criss’s hands.‘Tch’Criss hates it when someone is ordering him to do something he don’t like. But when he was so annoyed, Clark then grabbed that monster from his.Throwing the dead monster right in front of the one who ordered so, with the light they confirmed he is indeed from the army.“You can just give it properly…”Shaking his head, his eyes widened when he saw Clark whose face was presented as the light from the sun rising up glows the whole place bit by bit.“Si- sir Geoff??!”Exclaimed by the guard who immediately put down his gun.“
“Why did you ask?”Flustered, Alyanna slightly giggles“I am just curious”But Clark’s face did not change at all.‘What is she up to?’“I’m not interested in such stuff. So if you may excuse me”Heading inside the room not far from where they are, the moment he closes the door, two faces are looking at him with questionable eyes.“Hey hey hey! What was that? What was that?”“Did you… did you just turn her down?”It was Oren and Shanx, who was able to watch everything that happened just now.“Shut it”He mumbled pushing their faces away from him.“Grandpa, how are you?”“I am good, great as always. But you… you don’t look good at all. What is with that eyebags?”Chuckling, he just scratch his nape “Overtime in the work? Somethin sort of like that”“And he have the courage to turn down such beautiful girl. Ah, grandpa Holmet… it seems like your dream of seeing a baby in your family will not come true”Acting so pitied towards the old man, that raises Clark’s eyebrow.“Hey Oren, what ar
