A few days after the situation at the safe house, rumors of Sophaya, The Screaming Cinderella’s kidnap, began to surface. No doubt, this led to many people assuming Razor Peaks was the conspirator. Even though no one has asked us directly yet, I hear words regarding the situation, particularly through the words of the woman who wore the uniform.“Thanks for the drink,” I said while sitting in the chair inside the inn I stayed at.“Thank you for the drink, Missy!” Gilman said towards the woman in uniform.Yet, she can’t help but make a scrawny face. Unfortunately for Gilman, she remembered his face, which was the man who extorted her inn for money for quite some time. I drank my morning coffee, which alleviated my drowsiness. “Boss, it’s been quite a few days. Should we start the relocation again?”As per my planning, it is imperative for Sophaya to be relocated every three days due to many parties involved who wanted to kidnap her for ransom money. Of course, I can’t take her to the i
It’s been exactly one year since his arrival at Heliconia and his conditioning. 3 months of re-education and 9 months of training. Even from the first time I saw him, Shankara had shown potential, particularly in Forte, abling to rival wielders of the aristocrat. I believe he has now been honed into the perfect soldier for Razor Peaks. There is no doubt in his abilities and loyalty to some extent. So, today’s test will measure whether he will continue to develop or stagnate.“Sir, a call from Jack Nelson,”Now, the main event is about to start too.***Arriving at the scene, I looked at the safehouse, which no doubt had been bombarded, and noticeable damage had been sustained on the building.“Gilman, stay on the lookout when you have the chance to enter the building and proceed with our plan,” I ordered him, to which he nodded. As I began to walk towards the building, someone emerged from the front door. “I suppose you have arrived already, Mr. Shankara.” A woman greeted me. She was
As soon as I went to check on Sophaya, I only found her bodyguards bodies severely injured. Someone had already destroyed and ransacked the V.I.P. room. No, I am pretty sure at least 5 people were inside. As they finished their kidnap and ransacked the room, they escaped through the intended backdoor, I had previously ordered Sophaya to go.“Sorry sir, It’s all…” Duke said.“It was my decision. It’s my mistake.”Although we lost Sophaya, we found out the motive behind the kidnapping from the members of the Billy Pickers we caught earlier. The remaining lackey blurted out all the details that he knew.From the looks of it, I don’t think he could lie anymore, but I can never be too careful.I grabbed the telephone from the bar counter and dialled Mr Jones.“Mr. Jones, emergency meeting.”***“Who talked?” That was Mr. Jones's reaction.I didn’t respond.He put out his cigarette and sighed before standing up. Me and I were now inside Mr. Jones's office. It was quite a big room; his desk
“Mr. Ankara, what a pleasant surprise. I thought you wouldn’t be coming to the test concert,” Sophaya said to me with a warm smile, though the fakeness of that smile oozed an aura of anger.“Sorry, I was on a date,” I spoke back.“Ah, I didn’t know you were spoken for.” She complimented me with a witty gesture.The perfect solution to this matter actually would be to interrogate her right this instant. But, I wonder if that would play well to her since she obviously suspected something had happened.“I believe we had something to discuss about Mr. Ankara. Perhaps shall we discuss it now?”Understanding her cue, I followed up with an invitation: “Shall we go to my private room?” I said, offering my hand. But to my surprise, she walked past me with a slightly disgusted look and said, “Please show the way, Mr. Ankara.”Unlike her body double it seems she has a higher touch barrier.Indeed, her mannerisms are different than how they used to be.Confirming the possibility to a degree that t
“Good Morning, Mr. Ankara.” The woman in uniform greeted me as I walked down the inn's floor.“Morning. Black Coffee and Bread.” I replied as I wiped my eyes, walking to my usual spot.“White or Brown?” She asked, holding her broom in her right hand.“Brown,” I replied as she turned for a smile. “Will be served soon!” The woman then went to the counter and talked to her mother. I opened my newspaper today and began to read the news. News about a growing business came to mind. Bootleggers of goods in Heliconia are still at large. Trading up to the Avaloria province, where the merchants resided on the continent,The tavern door opened, and Duke Hebsly entered with an unexplainable expression as he sat down in the chair in front of me. “What brings you here?” I said without making eye contact with Duke.“The man you told me to watch. He said he’ll comply.”“Good. Things will be easier that way. Did he give you his telephone number?”“Yeah, it’s all in this paper,” Duke said as he gave me
I entered the betting shop, which is run by the Razor Peaks. My eyes turned to see Mr. Jones standing in front of the chalkboard as if he was waiting for me. He held a cigarette in his right hand and a bottle of whiskey in his left as he walked, looking through the chalkboard.“Mr. Jones, It’s Ankara. I have come in regarding your summon. I also wish to report according to the mission appointed to me.”Mr. Jones took out his cigarette from his mouth and blew smoke. “Ankara, huh? What did she ask for this time?” He spoke as if already knowing what I was about to report. His saying 'this time' was actually quite justified, since even before coming here, Sophaya was known to have asked quite a lot of demands even back in the past. But those were the only stories I heard until he confirmed them with his words just now.“She demands three things to be met for her to fix her schedule of performing at Citadel.”“Go on.”“First, she would like us to increase the club security and crowd contro
“A glass of Joy Soda, please.” “The usual eh? Sure.” The bartender whipped out a milk carton with a side of cola powder, as he mixed it well. “Joy Soda the way you like it, Mr. Ankara.” The bartender presented me with the drink a few minutes later.It is served in an extended-height tube-like glass with clear ice and straw. “Thank you.” I sipped my drink. Slurping it down, I felt its sweetness and fizziness. To be honest, it is one of the few things here that I enjoyed.Du du du~ Turutut~The jazz music plays inside this club. Today is the day when the music is played out slowly the way I like it. Unlike other days, where they play upbeat music, today’s song is relatively mellow.The dance floor was not filled with dancers but chairs where the people admired the performers of the song. The fans were adults in their 40s or 50s.I listened to the music as I sipped my drink again. Today, I will be meeting another singer who also frequents this club.My hand reached for one of the pock
Hello everyone!For my subscribed readers, it's good to see you. Thanks for all the support! :DFor new readers, welcome, and I hope you enjoy this story! :)I want to use this note to thank you and apologize!Overknight Hero's story is fiction the one I connected deeply with and the one that I planned the most in detail. It's expected to have around 19 parts, each consisting of a minimum of 25 chapters. Due to being a bit forgetful, I sometimes spent too much time ensuring there was no continuity error. I do all this because I hope I can make the best story that I can possibly write.So, I am sorry for the slow update. I'll try better and better in later parts!Be sure to stay tuned and read it till the end. I mean, if you want, that is!

++ The following is a written documentation of the tragedy in the Mylenia Region. On Maylen 26th, A surge of energy was sighted below the region. According to the agents dispatched this surge of Forte Energy or 'Foen' had been discharged from a refugee of Priscote Town. Due to the Prince's wisdom, Sir Zedafaust was dispatched to combat the refuge. However, as he arrived at the scene, the refugee and its corpse were already disfigured.Evidence points towards a third party that interfered with Sir Zedafaust's mission. Simultaneously, revolutionary propaganda was orchestrated by a former ruling nobility and economic advisor of Lady Victoria Mylen, Hoff Praya Crestia. Combat records on his name showed how formidable he was. It can even be said that, by that time, he was the strongest person in Mylenia if one did not count Sir Zedafaust. So, Victor Magnifica was ordered to capture him. A capture warrant against him was also made, and when the appointed guards came to his house, his wife,
