Nicola and Elliot were at the edge, their anger pushing and forcing them to do things that they both had planned to put on hold.“You shouldn’t have attacked the organization like that, boss.” Elliot scolded Nicola, it was the first time he actually had the nerve to speak up.“It’s bad enough that Lyon Armstrong suspects us, do you think that doing something like this would help?” He asked angrily.Nicola fist clenched as his teeth gritted against each other, his eyes turned red and it was taking all that he had in him to hold himself back.“WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO?” Nicola yelled as he smashed his hand on the table.His breathing was heavy as he looked at Elliot who already looked so scared for his life. Elliot’s head was low as he apologized.“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude,” Elliot said, “I just thought we could’ve taken a different approach.” He added.“Lyon Armstrong would know that the attack came from you and he wouldn’t want to stop chasing after you.”
Lyon’s meeting with Lucas didn’t really go well and he just knew that if he let Lucas go, he wouldn’t stop disturbing Chelsey.“Did he call you today?” Lyon asked while he had lunch with Chelsey and she shook her head.She was completely oblivious that Lucas’s plan had backfired on him and he was now in the underground prison that was in the house.“He’s never going to bother you again, don’t worry.” Lyon smiled before dabbing the napkin on his lips.He was done eating and he needed to get on with his task for the day. He didn’t feel as weak as when he initially woke up and the last thing he wanted was to be taken into the penalty realm.Lyon made his way to the training room he once trained in with Elen and he used the punching bag for a little while.His tasks had been upgraded and they weren’t like before anymore, he wasn’t even done with them yet and he was starting to feel exhausted.Trying his hardest, Lyon made sure that he pushed through until he was completely done with his d
Their surprise was evident on both their faces. Lyon’s eyes were wide and he wondered why she would ask him to enter when she was naked.“What are you doing?” He asked when he finally found his voice. Turning his back on her, he threw his jacket towards her.“Cover yourself up, I came here because I needed to talk to you.” He added like they weren’t in her room.Chelsey’s face was red, she mentally smacked herself as she rushed to the bathroom to take the clothes she’d pulled off in there.Embarrassment washed over her and she couldn’t help but think that Lyon was going to get the wrong impression of her.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”“It’s fine, are you all covered up now?” He asked, still closing his eyes with his back turned on her and she nodded.“You can face me now, I’m really sorry.” She apologized, her heart was racing and she couldn’t help but hate herself.Lyon didn’t want to face her, he couldn’t bring himself to because he felt like he had just seen what he wasn’t suppose
“Yes,” Chelsey answered and that was when Lyon realized that he’d asked that question out loud, “I wouldn’t do it if I don’t want to.” She added.Lyon couldn’t say anything else, he wanted it and she did too so there was nothing holding them back.He returned to kissing her and they were touching until the sound of a phone ringing brought them to a halt.It was Chelsey’s phone, she picked it up to see that it was an unknown number and her blood froze as it felt like her heart stopped.“Hello,” she said into the phone with her eyes on Lyon and her heart calmed when she heard the voice on the other end of the phone.“I asked about him from Abraham and he said that he saw him going to your room.” Elen explained and Chelsey’s face flushed.“I don’t care about what you might be doing but tell Master Lyon that we need to see him.” She finished.“Okay.” Chelsey muttered before taking the phone from her ear and hanging up the call.“Elen wants to see you, she said it’s important.” Chelsey inf
Kelvin and Chelsey were both unbothered and usually they would be scared since they knew the robbers had guns but they weren’t.They both knew how powerful Lyon was and that was enough to put the both of them at ease as Lyon smirked.He rest against the chair he was sitting on properly as he analyzed the situation, he had thought that it was The Hawks but after his analysis, he realized they weren’t the one.“Please tell me they decided to rob the store because they knew you were here.” Kelvin sighed, realizing that he could never live normally if he was with Lyon.“Are you regretting being friends with me yet?” Lyon teased but Kelvin only laughed almost silently as he shook his head.“There’s no way I’m going to have any regret,” he responded, he has always been loyal to Lyon and he intended to keep it that way.“Are you going to save humanity?” Kelvin asked but Lyon shook his head as he asked all of them to get under the table.One of the gifts he has acquired was to know if somethi
“What?” Elen and Abraham said in unison, almost shouting as they looked at one another but Lyon didn’t understand a thing.It was just like new people jerk springing up with each day that passes by and he doesn’t know what to do.“The trinities?” He asked, his voice bridled with his confusion as he looked from the three men and then to Elen and Abraham.The oily trinity he knows is the one mentioned in the Bible and that’s because he grew up on a street where a homeless man wouldn’t stop talking about Jesus Christ.At some point in Lyon’s life, he had questioned the existence of a god but he disciplined himself into stopping that.“I’m sorry, I have no idea who you are and considering how I have my hands full with a lot of things, I don’t think I’m interested in a conversation.” He said.Elen and Abraham took a glance at each other, they never imagined that they’d get so lucky to meet the trinities like this.It was put in the history of the organization that the left president that m
“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
