For the first time in his life, John became wild.Wild felt so free, so unbridled, it reminded him of childhood.It reminded him of the good old days when he thought of nothing, only concerned with following the big broad shadow cast by the back of his best friend, striving to keep up with him.John missed those times when life was so simple and uncomplicated but he held them back in before, not anymore.Now, as a free man, he no longer needed to hold it in.“Are you ok?” The concerned security guard asked.John turned to look at this security guard and the look on his face scared this middle-aged man. ‘Is he ok?’ He thought.John grinned at him. “I’ve never felt better”.Grabbing his school bag, John swaggered out of the academy.As he left, he could hear the drums of liberation di di di dum dum ringing in his head, reminding him of the iconic anime, Gear 5 Luffy.‘F*ck lectures!’‘F*ck school!’‘F*ck conforming to the system of society!’He didn’t care anymore; he was pursuing his d
“A system? What’s that?” John’s initial reaction was confusion.Then George brought out the visafone.If George fully trusted one person in this world, it would be his best friend. The only reason why he didn’t tell John about it back in Oriental City was because of his fears about the dangers of the system.George may not be the most intelligent, but he had street smarts.Common sense told him that something like the visafone would not be completely unknown in the world. If it existed, then people knew about it.Not everybody, but he was sure that some people knew about it.And not random people either, if anybody knew about his system, he was pretty sure that they were the powerful men of society.His grandfather decided that he was the next in line to inherit the system as the eldest and only child of his daughter, but who knew if the Dickerson family had other people that were eligible to inherit the system?What if other people outside his family knew about the system and were ac

“I’m Margaret, Margaret Luke”.“Release them”.Silence.It was just a few words but to the officer in charge of the policemen, it felt like a death sentence.This policeman froze for a few seconds, then hearing her breath, he shuddered as he finally reacted and answered. “Yes, ma’am”.“Good, secure the location, I’ll be there in a few minutes”.This policeman’s eyes widened but he dared not say anything contrary.“Yes, ma’am”. He just answered.And the countdown started.…Count Luke’s mansion…“Baby, what do you mean by I need to leave?”Smack!The Count unleashed a ruthless back-handed slap across her face as her left cheek instantly became as red as a red tomato.She landed on the ground with a thud due to the force of the slap.“…!” The girl froze in shock as she stared at him in disbelief on the floor.It was after he unleashed the slap that he realized what he just did.“S-sorry…,” He stammered but even that came out of his mouth unnaturally as he paced around the living room li

Ring! Ring! Click! “Hello, Donalds’ Real Estate Company on the line, how can we help you?” A polite voice sounding a bit sleepy reverberated through the phone. “Hey, good afternoon”. John’s voice spoke back into the phone. “We’re in need of a good budget building to kickstart a picture museum”. “What is your budget range?” “5 to 10 million NUS Credits”. “Ok, wait, let me go through our catalogue…” Silence reigned for a few seconds, then the voice from the other side spoke again. “We have some that are in your budget range”. “They’re not state of the art, but they should suffice for that amount”. “Do you want to come check them out?” “Yes, I do”. “Ok, here’s the address, you’ll meet one of our agents there waiting for you”. “Ok, thanks”.

{Crack Town Daily News!} {Trending Topics: George Churchill bought a property; George Churchill is having a live interview with the famous news station, Golden Shine TV!} {Current number of viewers connected: 54k} To George, his life seemed to accelerate suddenly after the upgrade of his system and the subsequent system mission that followed it. The mission to sabotage Count Luke changed his life already within just a few days. George had no idea what fame truly was before, but now, he had an idea. Coming out of his 1-bedroom apartment now, perhaps previously he was like a grain of dust in a desert, with no one noticing him, now they noticed him. “Hey! You’re George, right? Please can I have a picture with you?” “George! It’s him! I didn’t know you were my neighbor”. Strangers doing it with him was strange but he could still cope with it, what really shocked him was the sudden change of his previously rigid landlord. “George, my boy, you’re a celebrity now”. “I can’t believe
