“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
[Stealth, activated]Moving with the veil of harpocrates with him, Clark was able to infiltrate the base of the South 16 gang.‘They don’t have many guards in here, just like Criss told me’With Criss infiltrating the gang, they were able to figure out the ins and outs of the south 16 gang’s base.Thanks to that, Clark was able to skip the guards at ease.‘And here it is’The door was open, wide enough for a man to fit inside.‘Did Criss did this?’He smiled entering the room where Rasper is resting.It was wide. For half of it seems to be his office while the other half is his room.Some bottle of liquor was there in the night stand.‘You seems to be enjoying the life as the new boss of this place huh’Staring at him, if stare could kill, Rasper will probably be dead by now.‘So you are the reason of that huh’He continued to glare, enough to make Rasper uncomfortable. He has been circling back and forth. Soon he stand up and drink the cup of liquor in his side table.“Hah…”Letting
“I heard there was a commotion in the south”Oren mumbled as he peel ripe mango for Grandpa Holmet. Shanx was out since Jann called for him needing his help.“Really? Is that related to the thing you said before?”Wondering if the thing that Oren was talking about is related to the incident that happened not so long, Clark replied taking the plate that was full of cut mangoes.“I also wonder”“Clark, what is with your friend by the way?”Pointing at Criss who was sleeping so soundly on the sofa, the moment he entered the room of Granpa Holmet, he just greeted him and head straight to sleep.“He is just tired… let’s just let him be”Looking back at Criss, Grandpa Holmet felt pity with his grandson’s friend.“Maybe we could just hire him in the shop, what do you think?”With his grandfather asking that question, Clark smiled in reply.“Yes, lets do that. I will ask him when he wakes up”“You too, Clark”“Yes?”“You should also rest”Standing up as he picks up the plate, Clark stopped hi
“You seems to be in a good mood Clark”‘Eating together with them, sharing laughter and new memories, I could still feel it in me even after the party ends. The happiness that I could not help but be thankful of’“Yeah, why won’t I be?”Clark replied to Simon as he continued to drink the soda in a can.‘Indeed, it is a special day. Not because it is my birthday but because I was with all of them. Something that I had longed for before. Something that… I thought would just be true in my dreams…’Looking at the pile of men that was drop dead sleeping after tiring themselves and drinking to their heart’s content -Luckily they permitted them to have liquor inside a vacant separate room as long as grandpa Holmet will not drink any and they would clean and disinfect the room right after- only Simon, Shanx, and Manager Zhang was left wide awake. Oren was guarding Holmet and Oren who was sleeping. As for Jann, he went back home already and left Friz and Lheper laying on the floor.“I am reall
