“Protect me?” Lyon asked, he never would’ve thought that a day when three old men would be the one to protect him.He had worked really hard to be able to protect himself and from what his system was telling him, he was strong enough to protect himself from anything.“The danger is not from this world and neither is it anything you’ve seen before, Lyon Armstrong.” One of the elder’s voices jolted him out of his thoughts.“It’s nothing like the beasts you’ve fought and even the one lurking behind you right now ready to tear anyone apart for you might not be strong enough to protect you.” The man finished.Lyon could already tell that they were the real deal because there was no way anyone could see the monsters behind him without him showing them but these men can see it.He didn’t have to open their eyes to the level of his strength but they’d already seen it and that amused him.“I hope your protection won’t include banning me from leaving my house?” Lyon asked as he laughed dryly.“
Lyon couldn’t believe that they were involving his friends but what he doesn’t understand the most was how they were able to get his friends.“Did you talk to anyone that somehow asked of your contact?” Lyon asked Kelvin who only shrugged.He knew that judging by the content of the message, Kelvin already had an idea that it was from people who intend to kill his best friend.“I don’t know what you got yourself into boy don’t you think that this is getting too much?” Kelvin asked.He couldn’t help but get scared but at the same time, he couldn’t lose his best friend over a few threats.He had been with more than enough with Lyon and this isn’t enough to let him end their friendship but he wants to be sure that his best friend would be fine.“What’s really going on?” Kelvin questioned but Lyon only sighed because there was no way he could compress all of the incidents into three words.“It’s a long story but all of this will be over soon,” Lyon said with a tired smile as he handed Kelv
NICOLA’S OFFICE.He had everything set in place and he couldn’t wait to execute his plan, he’d thought that Lucas had blown up and that might have somehow affected Lyon.“How could he still be alive?!” Nicola yelled into the phone, “the brat I sent there is supposed to be dead by now!” He added.He couldn’t believe that Lyon was still alive if his stats were telling him that Lucas was dead and that was one of the Aces he had up his sleeves.FLASHBACK:Nicola had gone with Elliot when he sent him to shoot Lyon but somehow, he was sure that the bullet didn’t hit Lyon.He was watching from afar as Lyon and Lucas threatened each other and he immediately saw a chance, a way for him to manipulate Lucas.Nicola watched as Lyon’s car disappeared out of sight before he decided to meet Lucas and talk to him.“Some people are just so proud that they think the entire world is at their feet.” Nicola said when he finally got to Lucas.Lucas stopped in his tracks with a raised eyebrow as he turned t
Lyon was in his office when the sound of his phone ringing jolted him out of his thoughts. He stared at the screen and was surprised to see that it was Abraham.“What’s going on?” He asked as soon as he answered the call, “did they come?” He enquired but Abraham only shook his head.“They did and we took care of them so I didn’t think I should disturb you but you would really want to see this.” Abraham explained.He was shocked to the core with what was in front of him, he wasn’t expecting it and it was a good thing that they’d decided to take Lucas to the underground prison.Abraham was going to ask Lucas some questions about Nicola’s plan after the attack from those men when he saw this.His body was so dismantled that there were barely any bones left in his body. Another good thing was how strong the cage was.The builders had made the underground soundproof so no one heard when it happened.“I just sent you a picture, I need you to look at it.” Abraham said and with that, Lyon’s p
Lyon knows that Elliot would have found out about the phone by now and he desperately hoped that Elen was going to keep him busy.Stepping on the gas, it took a whine but Lyon finally got to Nicola’s office, he stepped out of the car and it was as though Nicola was prepared.Some men came at him but they were all small fries and it didn’t take long for Lyon to take the entirety of them down.“I have no business with you guys.” He hissed as he walked past them but there were more men in the office.Nicola’s security had gotten heavier since he realized that Lyon hadn’t died after he had killed Lucas.From the commotion downstairs, he could tell that Lyon was already around and he started getting ready.The men will keep Lyon busy for a while, Nicola had come to realize that no matter the amount of people he keeps sending to Lyon, they couldn’t take him down.Making his way to the technical room, he didn’t understand anything there but he was sure that if he pulled all the plugs, the co
Elliot’s throat went dry at once, he wasn’t expecting to turn around and see Elen behind him. He knew that he had been bursted already but he decided to play it cool.“What’s going on?” He asked coolly but Elen only shook her head, she had her own suspicions and she knew that Lyon wasn’t wrong but a big part of her hoped he was.She couldn’t believe that she had been working with a snitch for almost all her years in the organization.Elliot was always so easygoing, he was always smiling and most of his approach to things were always the best.“Nothing,” Elen shrugged, she was getting irritated by his presence, “why did you have to take a call here?” She asked.Her eyebrows were raised as her eyes bore holes into Elliot while he tried to rack his brains for an excuse.“I wanted to call my grandmother because I heard that—““Cut the bullshit!” Elen said firmly, she was glad that the plans had changed and she could do whatever she wanted to Elliot.“How long are you going to keep the lie
“Someone should clear this place and dispose of his corpse.” Elen said with no remorse, she took a look at her palm and sighed.She needed to get stronger, she could feel it but unfortunately she couldn’t level up anymore.She had stopped leveling up when she let her emotions take over and she went against the system. Her punishment was so severe that she’s still serving it.The only thing she could rely on was her physical fighting skills and her gift. Sighing, she started walking to the building when she heard the revving of a car.Turning, she stopped when she saw that it was Lyon, she couldn’t help the smile that spread across her face when she saw who he was with.“Where is Elliot?” Lyon asked as soon as he got closer to her but Elen’s sigh only gave him the answer he didn’t need to hear her say.“You really need to do something about your temper.” He said, walking past her as he dragged Nicola behind him.“What do you know about my temper,” Elen retorted, “besides, it was self d
Abraham was glad to hear that Lyon was able to catch Nicola and even take him to custody, he felt like a burden had suddenly been lifted.“Good job, Master,” he commended Lyon, “I guess everything can go back to being normal now.” He added with a sigh.“I guess,” Lyon shrugged as they both made their way to the walk-in bar in the house. Abraham poured himself a glass of vodka and nonalcoholic wine for Lyon.“I still have the Hawks to deal with and maybe then I can go back to living my life normally.” Lyon said after taking a sip of his wine.“I almost forgot about them, do you have a plan?” Abraham asked and Lyon shook his head, he doesn’t have the slightest plan.All he knew was that he was going to get into a fight with them but he still didn't know how and when they were going to come to him. He had no idea where they were going to be able to find him because the only place he was planning on being tomorrow was the organization.“Do you think they can come to the organization?” Ly
