Dylan stopped walking, "You intend to give yourself up? I'd appreciate it." "No asshole!" snapped Alan. "You said I only have a limited time, so I'd like to talk to Haily to find a deal." Dylan mentally cheered. He knew that Alan's balance wasn't enough to pay the penalty for Haily as well. So Alan's request to meet Haily was definitely because Alan wanted to merge their balances. "But if you go inside the police station, it means you're turning yourself in because you're wanted by them. Is that alright?" Dylan asked to confirm. There's no other option for Alan but to follow Dylan's play. "I don't care about the cops." Dylan immediately acted quickly by arresting Alan. He handcuffed Alan and took him into the office. Again, everyone except the police were shocked that their favorite soccer athlete was in the police station with both hands cuffed. Because of this, the unit chief had a headache and he came over to see Dylan. "Dylan, how did you find him?" "He turned himself in,
Alan was returned to the police station after he brought the four system devices he had. The total balance was 70 million dollars. It remained the same as the balance Alan had shown to Dylan when he kidnapped Dylan. "Wait, I want to see Haily again before handing over the penalty fee." Dylan stopped walking towards the interrogation room to collect all of Alan's balances. "What do you want to talk to Haily about? Isn't it over already? You're going to end up playing games with the police." "Come on, are you afraid of the two of us?" asked Alan dismissively. Dylan clasped his hands together at his sides. "Just five minutes and this time I'll be with you." Dylan led Alan to Haily's temporary cell. Although Haily's time limit to level down was running out, she showed no fear at all. Moreover, she no longer had any system devices because those were taken by the staff. "Haily, I've taken all my system devices." Alan showed her the watches, rings, and bracelets he had."Good job, dear
Dylan succeeded in avoiding the bullets fired by Alan. At this time Alan felt confused because he heard Dylan's voice but he didn't see Dylan's body. So he pointed his gun in all directions. But since here is a resident area, Dylan didn't want the bullets hit civilians. "I'm here." Dylan moved a pole a few meters in front of him. He continued to attract Alan's attention until he arrived at the large field that Dylan had used for shooting practice. Dylan brought Alan and Haily there. And finally Dylan made himself visible again. "Are you looking for me?" Dylan pointed his gun at Haily. "How does it feel being a wanted person? Is it like a movie you're starring, Haily?" "Fuck you Dylan! I saved your ass yesterday but you don't know how to thank me," Haily said. Dylan giggled in response. "Wasn't that part of your plan? Why should I thank you for a plan that my enemy made and aims to kill me?" Dylan advanced without hesitation. "Put down that gun while I still have my tolerance!"
"I am never gonna put myself in your hands until you tell me who the fuck you are." Haily still tried to escape every time Dylan approached. "I am Dylan Brodie, level II police officer. You also witnessed my introduction at the 6 monthly meeting. Why are you looking at me like I'm so scary?" "An ordinary human wouldn't be able to use power without a system device. But you can even heal from your wounds without the system device." Haily broke off one of the tree branches so it had a sharp tip and pointed it at her neck. "I will never give up on a species that I don't even know." Haily slowly stepped down to the ground. Now Dylan's job becomes complicated because Haily didn't threaten him but instead wanted to kill herself. Dylan didn't know the effect of him using the abilities without a system device was this big when seen by others. They are even frightened. "I'm just an ordinary human like you," said Dylan in the end. He also followed Haily's movements, not flying anymore. " Ar
Dylan was on time to arrest Alan and Haily because not long after, another police officer arrived.Dylan also asked Gabriel to stay away from the forest area as a sweep might be organized to catch another of Alan's gang."Officer Dylan, are you okay?" a young police officer named Han checked on Dylan's condition. "I'll help you to the hospital. You need to be treated immediately.""I'm fine. It's just a small wound and I can treat it myself," Dylan denied. He still admitted that he was injured so his coworker wouldn't get suspicious. Because it was impossible for Dylan to say he wasn't hurt when there the blood on his shirt. They would be suspicious if Dylan evaded."Are the others going to carry on searching?" asked Dylan."Yes, we're going through the whole forest." Han patted Dylan's shoulder proudly. "It's because of you that we've been able to find the lair where the level IV people are hiding. That old man in the cottage is a level IV person. He's been hiding there for years. An
The chief pulled Alan away and kept him far away from Dylan. "Hey, take care of him properly. How could you let a criminal say that to the police?" The chief scolded Han, the police officer who brought Haily and Alan. Dylan didn't want to think about Alan's words because no matter how much he tried to take Dylan's place, it wouldn't be easy to do because Dylan wasn't easy to be in his current position either. Dylan followed the chief's steps into the building. The building had very tall pillars with circular seats. The judge and prosecutor's place was on the big podium while the suspect would sit in the middle of the room. So anyone could see them clearly. In addition to legal punishment, it was social punishment for Haily and Alan. Dylan sat in the bottom row near the perpetrator and straight in front of the judge. Shortly after Haily and Alan took their places, the judge and prosecutor entered the room. Other government officers began to fill the empty seats. The judge opened
Dylan felt pain all over his body because he fell from the upper world and landed on a dry field.The systems inside Dylan's body had been frozen because his energy was less than 30%. Meanwhile, down here, Dylan couldn't see anything.The underworld is too dark, there is no light at all so Dylan doesn't know where he is. It was too different from the upper world where level II and III lived. It seemed like the underworld is an isolated place.And unfortunately, Dylan couldn't use the system to protect him here. Dylan had to charge his energy again before it completely ran out because if that happened, then Dylan never being able to return to his place.Dylan tried to stand up and clean his body. He could smell the dust flying everywhere. When he looked up, the sky was still visible but darker.Now Dylan no longer wondered why the underworld populated by level IV people became a source of criminals and those criminals wanted to level up. It was because life up there was much better, br
Dylan lowered his head when the person threw three objects like granite because he thought they would explode. But instead of exploding, the objects emitted electricity that made the three dog robots stop chasing Dylan. The electricity shorted out the dog robots and they fell down.The person who had helped Dylan approached the robots and took back the three objects he had thrown. Then he came over to Dylan. "Are you okay?" "Yes, I survived," Dylan replied with a trembling voice. "Thank you for saved me." The person opened the hoodie he was wearing. And that's when Dylan saw a blond man with bright blue eyes. "You're not from this level huh?" Dylan had forgotten that his current look made him very easy to guess. During his meeting with people from level IV, Dylan had never seen them dress formally like wearing suits or dresses. Those from level IV wore ordinary and shabby clothes. While Dylan's current clothes were dirty, he was wearing a formal suit that would be impossible for
