HENRY folded his arms and watched her. It was obvious through her scowling face that she wasn’t happy they had saved her. He was about to get loads of information from her, so he relaxed on his feet. It was probably four in the morning, and it was just the perfect time to listen to secrets—especially ones that seemed too complicated and surreal.

“Oh yeah?” Henry asked. “How was saving your life a mistake? Please indulge me; I’d like to know.”

Zhixi rolled her eyes. It was obvious she didn’t want to talk about it, either was she expecting that she would be in a tight spot. Henry didn’t care; she could avoid the truth for however long she want, but he must have it now. He hadn’t just gone all through that mess for her to say she wasn’t in the mood to talk. Henry peered down on her face.

“If you understand even a bit of the gravity of the risk we took for you, you wouldn’t be so stubborn.” He said when she looked away. “Zoe lost her goddess trying to save you.”

    “It started when I was young, Henry. Maybe six or seven? I cannot exactly remember. I just know it was a long time ago…” she paused for so long that Henry though she’d doze off.He leaned over her and saw that her eyes were blank. She was relieving that very moment, back in the time frame I which she constituted her words. His pity for her increase while he watched her in that state. Henry wasn’t sure he had pitied anyone as much as he pitied Zhixi that very moment. When she spoke, her voice was monotone. It came from a place of a long time ago, distant and bleak.“My father brought home a man. They said they wanted to make an experiment with me. They took me to a room and tied me up and…” she stopped again.The image was suddenly borne in Henry’s mind. Disgust filled him. Once again she was making him go through things that he normally would not; for instance listening to a sexual assault story. Henry detached his hand from hers.“You don’t have to tell me this.” He said.Her gaze on

    She started to laugh; loud and hysterical. Henry immediately covered her mouth his hands and looked about, wondering if there was anyone awake and listening to them. His eyes brushed over the cameras in the ceiling; the cameras he doubted the robots were even using. Henry was sure it was there for mere decoration and to instill fear in them.Zhixi’s turned to a girlish giggle. She was looking so pitiful again. He wished she would find an outlet for her pain, which was crying. She didn’t have any anger to bank on. Moreover, he didn’t think her getting angry right now would help matters.“I’m going to take my hand off, and you’re going to behave, alright?”She nodded. Henry took his hand off and she gazed at him bleakly. She didn’t seem like she wanted to continue her story, so it was hanging in her chest and on a delicate balance. He wanted her to be out and over with it.“Listen, Zhixi. You gotta let it all out. I’m trying to help you here and this is the best way I know how to. Talki

  • My Wealth System    Find A Cure

    Henry told Zhixi to stay behind him as they were about to fight another monster. She was still weak and did not have the capacity to carry on, much less fight. It was a series of tiny rolling monsters who bit off arms and legs. They had sharp teeth, sharper than Henry’s sword. He didn’t let that discourage him as he chopped off monsters in reckless abandon.“Let me help!” Zhixi yelled.“You stay back!” Henry yelled back.“That girl is fighting and I don’t see you telling her to stay back!”Henry glanced at Zoe and back at Zhixi. “She’s holding up on her own just fine! You stay behind me and out of sight!”Zhixi huffed in frustration but said nothing. She truly did not have any strength left in her; what with the last emblem of the fiery devil being snatched from her body. Ever since Henry spoke to her about her struggles and demons last night, he’s changed. Obviously he knew something was on about her, so he needed to be careful at all means to not trigger her into god knows what. Zhi

    HENRY and Leroy sneaked out of the compartment, Leroy on the lookout for robot and Henry on the lookout for cameras. They had to roll on the ground back in the compartment to be able to get to the door. Leroy was not pleased with it; matter of face he wasn’t pleased that Henry had started a whole new adventure for them. He still did not want to hear the full story, and at the same he was not happy that he was going through all of that for a story he didn’t know.“I think all of this completely unnecessary,” Leroy said.“Leroy, you’ve said that for the umpteenth time. I promise you, there is more to see than what you think.” Henry lowered his voice as the neared the overheard light. “At a container down that road, some robots were doing some kind of testing.”“What kind of testing?”“I don’t know, just some kind of weird testing. We need to go check it out.”Leroy groaned. “Ugh, I know you’re doing it for that girl. Do you like her?”“What?”“Which of them do you like? Zhixi or the wei

    Henry and Leroy rounded the container and retraced their steps back to that very first gate, when they had all come through the gate. They walked fast this time, making sure to avoid the leafy and bright areas. When they got in front of a tree, Henry signaled that they should stop. They both stopped at the tree and looked at the gate from there. There was no robot in sight to take care of it, but Henry knew all too well what would happen if they dared cross the threshold.“Let’s check it out,” Leroy said.“It’s too dangerous. We don’t know what defenses they have put up.”“Well how are we going to know if we don’t try?”Henry glanced at him. “What?”“We need to know the defenses in place, right? How are we going to know if we don’t give it a try?”“And how do you suppose we give it a try; by going there ourselves?”Leroy only exposed his teeth but said nothing. It as obviously a very bad plan—not that they had any plan in the beginning anyways. Henry started to move about, picking up

  • My Wealth System    Life And Death

    The next day as they were walking to the arena, Henry took the time to lose his way a few times, stumble on some robots and get on Ralph’s nerves. It was the same as the night before, and the night he had checked. Henry swore to at least follow a particular robot and see where they all exited. There had to be somewhere. Back then when he was hiding behind a rock in the fountain, he’d over two robots talking about their race. He scoffed now as he remembered it. What were they actually calling it, the age of robot or the mechanical race? He laughed as the thought came to his head.“Is something funny, Mr. Henry?” Ralph asked.Henry looked up. He’d forgotten that they were at the arena ready to fight some monsters. Now everyone was looking at him in anticipation.“Uh, no,” Henry said hurriedly. “I just had a fond memory.”“Would you like to share those memories with us?” Ralph pressed, his voice droning and annoying.“It’s not important. Just something I miss back home.”“Would you like

  • My Wealth System    Zoe

    They were all gathered around their bunk, the four of them. Henry tapped his foot on the floor and stared into space, calculating his options and the next step to take. Zoe was quietly chewing on a gum that she picked from the snacks tray the robots provided. Henry imagined that they would have to travel o earth to get it. Which begs the question of where they were?“Where are we?” he suddenly asked. “We’re in a realm, right? But what realm?”“We’re in earth,” Zoe said to him. “Isn’t that sort of obvious?”“It feels like its earth, but then it isn’t.” Leroy said.“Did we all come to the same location?” Henry asked. “I was told that this place is called the Academy of Netherlands. Is that what you were told?”Zhixi was shaking her head. “I was told to go to Connecticut, and that is where I would find the system. I went to Connecticut and saw this big door which opened for me.”“Me too,” Zoe inputted. “It wasn’t Connecticut or Netherlands for me, but I had to go to the Atlantic Ocean.”

    Zhixi watched Henry turn back and forth in his bed. He could not sleep. She bet he was still thinking about the plan, evaluating it in his head and finding the best possible outcome. He was an over thinker, she realized. Always finding all possible answers to a question.She slowly swung herself down from the bed—most times she and Zoe usually interchanged, and this time around she was up while Zoe was down.Zhixi did not like the girl. Mainly because she had sacrificed something for her and now she feels indebted to a stranger. It was a weird thing felling indebted to Henry, now she must fell it too for the new girl whom she changed bed with.She swung the other foot and climbed down from the bed. Henry had stopped moving; he was staring at her.“Hello, handsome,” she said, and then cleared her throat. “Uhm, hello?”“Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?” he asked.“I just want to do a little stretch. I can’t sleep.”She tied her hair back into a messy bun and began to stretch. Henry w

He remembered how broke he was when he caught her.He remembered how he loosed all hope after she confessed everything to him. After she told him he doesn't love her."Why do I have to dress up?" He asked himself when he noticed how nicely he was dressing."Whatever." He muttered under his breath. Henry already told Evelyn about the meeting. He walked out of the bedroom, and saw Louis waiting for him."Don't tell me you are this well dresses because of her." Louis winked at him."Me? This is just a casual well, and I am well dressed because I want to dress nicely." He said to Louis"Woah, are you going to meet up with a girl? Is he going on a blind date?"

Louis inquired ok seeing how devastated he was."Someone released Sean from the hospital claiming they are related, how does that makes sense?" Henry was beginning to get so angry."It was Erica." Louis told Henry."You knew it was her and you couldn't stop her? How did you find out that it was her?" Henry queried him"I planted a tracker in her car, I saw that she went to a place and that is not the office, neither Dexter's company. She must have been the one." Louis explained to him."I knew she is up to something, we must find a way to find out what she is up to. She might want to use him or something." Mike added."She didn't know I am out the prison yet right?" Henry wanted to confirm his thoughts."Yes, she didn't know you are out of the prison yet, we need to wait for a while. That was she will be unguarded." Louis answered.They got to their house in no time and did the necessary thin

Can you get the security footage of everything that happened during our stay there?I think there is a spy there that got it release everything we did, and sent to our rival company." Louis asked Erica for a favor.He knew what he was doing. Even though he will have to loose an evidence that is as strong as that. His main aim was to confirm if Erica was the spy, and if she has someone she is working for."Sure, I will do that." Erica assured him with a smirk on her face."You are telling your greatest enemy to do the job for you." She said to herself."Consider it done." She assured him"Thank you very much." Louis appreciated."What about Henry? I haven't seen him! Hope he is okay?" She asked him."Sure, he will not be showing his face for the meantime. He will surely get back to you once he is bac
