There was a still silence that came with tension, and the tension that came with the sound of Justin striking on the master. The master stood frozen, while Justin relaxed back on his feat, having accomplished what he wanted. He looked at Henry, and then at the rest of them, triumph written all over his face.

“What did you do!” Zoe barked as she rushed forward, away from the protection of Leroy.

“What I just did?” Leroy spread his hands. “Come on baby, tell me that isn’t glorious.”

“You just ruined the one chance we had to leave this place!”

“I didn’t ruin any chance.”

The master suddenly spoke. “She’s right. You just ruined that chance to leave this place... alive.”

They all yelped in surprise, Justin nearly falling as they heard the master’s voice. Henry went around and saw that the master was indeed frozen, but not entirely. Half of him—the side that was machine like, was shut down while the human part was still awake, watching them but being unable to do anything since he was stuck

    The master scowled again. It was funny how Henry was able to recognize his scowl when he had a half face of robot and human. He would have loved to sit down and assert his point, but he just really wanted to go. Henry gestured to Justin s he spoke.“Master, as you see Justin is very skilled in recognizing robots and disarming them. Don’t you think I did you a favor rather than using him against you?”The master said nothing. He simply stared at Henry, as if seeing him in a new light apart from the one he’d constructed in his head. He glanced at Justin too, making sure that the other guy was dead and gone.“What do you want?” he hissed.Henry smiled. “Oh you know; a safe passage out of here so we can all get to our respective lives.”Zhixi looked at Henry. This would be their last time together. He was using Justin as a bargaining chip so that each of them would be out of here and alive. It wasn’t enough that that they escape. The master was the owner of the system as it stands, and th

    Henry woke up in a small bed. At first he lay, confused as he tried to gather his thoughts. The last thing he remembered was being torn away from Zhixi in the portal.Zhixi.He jerked upright, his hand automatically reaching for a weapon at his side. He realized then that he had nothing, and he wasn’t in his room. He was in a badly arranged place.“What the hell?”He stood up and looked around. He was actually in his house, but it didn’t feel like his. Something was missing. Actually, a whole lot of things were missing. His bedroom looked like something someone had hijacked out of nowhere. There was a broken window which suggested a break in, and a whole lot of things were looted from his room.Henry walked cautiously out of his room to examine the place. In fact, it was a huge mess. His appliances were gone, his locked gold bars, his figurines, statues, and even the locked safe was unlocked. He started to laugh. That was the only thing he could do that moment, to laugh. Apparently th

    HENRY sat in the crooked chair Louis offered him. His wife Mia was quiet. She went around the house to get him water, and then a plate of cold porridge. Henry turned it away. He hasn’t even thought of hunger, plus the food looked like something that would repulse him. Hell, he nearly retched looking at it. Their living conditions were terrible, the absolute worse. With a round check, Henry saw that they probably cried when it rained. The half opened roof and the soaked ground underneath told him that this place was prone to flooding. He glanced at Louis again. He looked shabby, his beards untrimmed and his shirt torn. His wife did not look any better; she left her hair in a wild flow down her back.Louis noticed the eye he gave him and said nothing. He sat quietly as Henry continued to examine the place. He and Mia’s child was grown now. He ran around the place, helping his mother to pick out the moth on the floor so it won’t disturb them when they slept.“What happened to you?” Henry

    It was a tough ride. Louis avoided all talk related to the company, as it brought him heartache. Henry also don’t bring it up because it made him think of waking up that day in an empty, looted house and a god that was so hungry it considered eating him. He ingested listened to Louis speak about his life and his young son, how his wife Mia was getting tired by the day and he feared that she may have cancer.“It’s just a negative feeling,” he added hurriedly. “Not that she would actually die of cancer.”“Have you gone to check if she’s okay?” Henry asked him.Louis shook his head. “Not yet. We don’t have the money for it, but I’m sure she’s fine.”“You can never be too sure,” Henry said.“She’s okay,” Louis said dismissively.Henry knew it was more than that. The Louis he was looking at right then was so different that the Louis he knew. This one was more withdrawn, dismissive and shabby. Henry didn’t bring up the topic of his wife again. He decided to let it go. He and Louis examined

    HENRY drove into the school environment in a calm state. He parked his car carefully into a spot and then stopped the car. He sat in there for a moment, his thoughts wandering. He wondered if he should be here after all these while of not showing his face. How was Mie doing? He had abandoned him for so long, throwing himself into his work to escape his grief. Not only that, Henry had sent him off to a boarding school that young. He wondered how big Mike would be by now, if he had gotten beards and his masculine features, if he thought the earth was flat and the land was bigger. Henry was eager to hear his thoughts, but he was also afraid of meeting him. Louis glanced at him from time to time.“Are you okay boss?” he finally asked.“Yeah,” Henry answered vaguely. “I’m okay.”“Great. Remind me again why we came to see your nephew?”Henry shrugged. “I abandoned him for years and I nearly died; don’t you think it would be nice to see him one last time before I mistakenly die again?”Louis

  • My Wealth System    His Scream

    Henry and Louis watched Mike play around in the field. It had been a silly thing to do, taking the boy out of school so that he could play around. Mike hadn’t minded; he was very excited about doing stuff he didn’t do in his childhood. The guilt Henry kept accumulating were increasing. He’d failed this boy, just like he failed Louis and his employees.“Do you think I should remove him from that school?” he suddenly asked.Louis continued to watch Mike. “I don’t think you should. Kid needs to learn to stand up fro himself.”“I know, but it doesn’t seem like that’s happening any time soon” he combed his hand through his hair. “I failed him, Louis.”“You didn’t fail anyone,” Louis said. “You tried your best and there’s nothing much you can do after that.”Henry doubted Louis’s words. He knew that he should have done something, have done more than what he was doing. He wasn’t sure where his problems had started from, but he knew if he had the opportunity to kill his stepmother he would do

    Henry ran out to his car, followed by Louis. He drove out in a frenzy, screaming questions as they chased down the car.“Did you see the plate number?!”“How would I see the plate number?!” Louis screamed back. “They moved away with such force that I couldn’t even recognize them leaving.”Henry heaved a sigh. They drove down the road until they got to a junction. It had three different roads at opposite directions. Henry looked back and forth, the frustrates seeping into his bones.“Do you know where they must have gone?” He asked Louis. Louis gave him a look and Henry nodded to himself. “I’m going to take that as a no.”He tried to calculate the exact place they van would have gone with that kind of speed.Henry realized that he could have gone anywhere, but the road to their right seemed to be the best option. The one opposite them was sort of crowded and would risk getting caught in the web of crashes car. The one to their left were filled with walkers, which means the van could on
