"What the fuck? The FBI?"Damien couldn't believe his eyes. While he was thinking of impressing his daughter, he never thought of the possibility of such an outcome. "What do I do?"He stared for a while. He was no longer interested in the live video anymore. "Mario sent a friend request. Mr Shou sent another. And the FBI too -"His eyes widened when he noticed something he had missed. "Not a request. It was actually a message. How come the rest sent a request, but they sent a message?"His confusion had faded off suddenly, and rage was beginning to get the best of him. He opened the message. [FBI - Hi, Mr KV. I'm sure by now you know who we are. Our name is well spelt out. We noticed some sort of transaction done by you on this platform about a couple of minutes ago. With no offence triggered, do you mind if we come to you or would you come to us? We would need to ask you a couple of questions in person.]After reading the message, Damien waited for a while. Then he started to t
It was dark outside as Elisa pulled over at the front of a penthouse. The house was surrounded by unusual tread of flowers and plants. But the garage was clear enough for the cars which had already been parked. Nine cars. Including hers. She was walking in a haste towards the door. Immediately, she pushed the door open,"Really, Elisa? What is this about?""You called us and told us that it was urgent.""I can't believe that you could keep us waiting.""But then, what is this sudden call all about? I should be tending to my own business at the moment and not running around at this hour of the day."Regardless of the criticism that met her in the way, Elisa made sure to settle down first before she took each of the women waiting for her, in her gaze. "I'm sorry. Something came up on my way. I should have been here sooner. Apologies."She was breathing heavily as though she had just finished some race, as opposed to the fact that she came in a Lamborghini"So what is this about? You d
"You did what!""What!""What are you two talking about?""What did you do?""You killed who?"The tension in the room had grown to indicate restlessness. Earlier, the women were a little confused and optimistic, but now they were clueless and flustered. The way the situation seemed at the moment, it was safe to say that only Ayisha and Allison were informed about the particular situation. The rest seemed lost."Who is going to talk? What is happening here?""Why is everyone keeping quiet?""How many of you knew about it? Somebody talk."No one felt safe anymore. Each girl was beginning to suspect her neighbour. "It was all my idea."Allison started. The bewilderment in the faces of the rest of the women was quite alarming. "Ayisha tried to talk me out of it, but then, since she couldn't talk me out of it, she assisted me."Neither of the rest of the girls said anything yet. It was as though they were still having a hard time believing what the two were on about. Eyes would move
The whooshing wind gradually became fiercer, and it started to brew a whirlwind. The force was strong and the height slowly and steadily increasing. Damien was walking through a silent forest. It was getting darker, and the atmosphere was creeping up the moon. A tiny dark cloud stepped over the moon for a while, leaving its light spoken for. By the wiles of the night. The forest was clothed in thick darkness for that sheer second. And in the blink of an eye. A force from nowhere picked him up and knocked him down. It was hard to tell what force it was precisely. It could be the whirlwind or something which was much more powerful. But the point at that moment was the fact that he was eating dust. Lying on his face, face buried in the sticky, muddy, and damp earth.He tried to groan, but he couldn't hear his own voice. It was as though his voice had been muffled by some supernatural force. He was very worried about why he couldn't speak up. He tried to lift himself from the mud and
"I'm so sorry to interrupt your fun, Young Master."Leroy started, hardly looking him in the eyes. Damien didn't appear to have a problem with that. At least not yet. "But words have travelled quickly about your return. And the family demands to have an audience with you."Damien stopped sipping from the disposable can and took a serious gaze at Leroy. "Family? What family?"Leroy took a glance at him this time. "I understand that you must be mad to hear me mention them. They have no right to demand to see you. But they just want to be sure that you are the one."Leroy's voice started to have an edge to it as though he was trying to be careful and chosey with words. "It's not a must for you to come, of course. You have the absolute right to say no to them. I only thought it was right that I bring your notice to the dema---""I will meet with them."Damien interrupted. His interruption obviously caught Leroy off guard. "You will, Young Master? I mean, you don't have to. You can't
"Wh--what the hell...""What is happening?""Why are there so many of him?""How did this happen?""What is happening?"The whole group was beginning to fidget. They were scared out of their wits. Some of them were already pissing their pants. Some shaking and some holding unto their neighbours for support. The boss himself had sweat pooling in both temples. The lad who was next to him had mucus running from one nostrils to the other. He had a tough time picking up the phlegm. As much as Damien was enjoying the sight, yet he felt a little dissatisfied by the scene. At once, they all dropped on their knees. It was an urban world. A natural one. None of the group members could have imagined that a normal person would have been able to pull such a spiritual stunt.And the fact that Damien was able to attain such a nerve wrecking prowess, it would only take common sense to register that he was not a normal person. "Please forgive us. We were not in our right minds. We shouldn't have d
Damien stood at the opening of an alley, looking down at the end. Though the houses on the right and left were super tall. They were row houses, yet the distance from where he was standing to the end of the alley wasn't too far. So, he could make a visual judgement of those who were standing at the end. He shut his eyes for a while. There were a couple of things going on in his mind. When next he opened his eyes, they glowed. "Let's see which of these powers I still have in check. The last time, I could only use the Zoom function and make my eyes glow."He shut his eyes again and concentrated the energy. That was all he needed to get the spiritual strength working and charge his inner man up. When he swiped the hand up, he felt shades of lights on the back of his close eyelids. When he opened his eyes, he saw a window pop-up right in front of him. [Ping! Functions available in full display.]He read through the window,[Ping! The Zoom function.][Ping! The Nether infinity map.][P
"What should I do with yoi?"Damien heard Ari say. He had a strong conviction that the lad in flashy clothes was obviously Ari. Arigota Nagazumi."Not only do you covet my babe, you also ruined my sneakers. Do you have an idea how much that cost me? 70k!!! Have you ever seen, let alone, have such huge money in your entire pathetic life?"Ari lashed at the lad who knelt in the middle of the group. There was a lady amongst them. "His babe?"Damien muttered, looking somewhat confused. "Did he just say he has a babe? Is that girl with them his babe?"As he asked that question, as though the girl heard him, she leaned forward and kissed Ari in the lips. Damien's eyes widened. "This bastard. He has a babe, and he's trying to impress my daughter? What is his motive?"Damien was tempted to approach him at once. He wanted to beat the words out of Ari. But then he realised that there was much more to getting information. And to think of it, his class was beyond the ordinary. So, he shouldn't
