Monday was upon us again.Alex wished the weekend was much longer so he could exercise, but what could he do. If Bi Company wasn't so far from home, he would probably walk there as his morning exercise.His starting time as a cleaning service worker was seven o'clock, so he didn't have much free time. He might have to make a slight revision to push his work hours back to eight or nine.Lucia's division might also have to be changed, as it would be much better if they always went to the office together.Alex stepped out of the room after making sure nothing was left behind. One hand carried a thick coat, while the other carried Lucia's scarf.Lucia was preparing lunch in the kitchen. Normally they would have lunch in the cafeteria, but Lucia thought that eating in the office garden would be much more enjoyable.Alex agreed with that, considering the employees were always looking at them sarcastically. Although Alex didn't care, Lucia might feel uncomfortable."Ah, are you done? I'm don
"Alex, what did she say?""She said Bianca kept whining and didn't want to go home. I don't know what happened, but she's never been like that before," Alex explained, rubbing his face.This afternoon, he received a call from Bianca's babysitter. She told him that Bianca was constantly whining and disobeying her babysitter. It was time for Bianca to go home, but she insisted on staying at school.Alex was really worried that something had happened, so he was going to catch up.Suddenly, his cell phone rang again. Alex hurriedly reached into his pocket and saw the name of Bianca's nanny.As soon as he picked up the phone, Bianca's shrill voice rang out. "Daddy!"Alex winced at Bianca's distinctive whining voice. He knew there was something she wanted. He should have called this afternoon, but he was quite busy discussing with Missi after the meal."I miss you! Come quickly!" she whined again when Alex didn't speak."Daddy will be here soon, sweetheart. Just wait a little longer and don
A flash of memory appeared in Bastian's mind about what Lucia had said. At that time, she had told him about her relationship with Alex. She also told him that Alex had long divorced his ex-wife.Bastian had never seen what Alex's ex-wife looked like, but was it possible that the woman Alex was with now was Jasmine?At this hour, shouldn't Alex still be working at Bi's company. Yet, why was he here with that woman?Bastian's eyes suddenly widened as a thought occurred to him.Was Alex having an affair? He was skipping work just to meet that woman? And Lucia doesn't know anything?Yes, definitely. What other possibility could there be if not that?Bastian cursed inwardly and hissed. How dare that ignorant man cheat on his sister who had always desperately defended him. Did he think he could do everything because Lucia was too good? He probably felt great because he could get two women at once. What a piece of shit.Bastian started the car engine and drove off angrily. 'You'll see, once
This time, her question made Alex even more furious.Bianca, who was spooning cake into her mouth, looked up confused. "Hm?"Alex gave Jasmine a warning look, but she didn't care."I mean, which do you prefer, Mom or Lucia?""What do you mean by asking that?" Alex couldn't hold back anymore. He was really annoyed with Jasmine for using Bianca for her own satisfaction. What did she mean by asking that? To make Lucia look bad and like she was the best?"I just want to know," Jasmine said calmly.Bianca seemed to stare at the ceiling of the café, a habit when she was deep in thought. "Mm... Mommy Jasmine is nice," she said. Jasmine almost cheered, but Bianca continued, "But Mommy Lucia is nice too. I can't choose."Alex reflexively laughed at that. Jasmine hoped Bianca would choose her, but she knew full well how the child thought.Of course Jasmine would always remain in Bianca's heart as her biological mother, even though she had often neglected Bianca in the past. But in Bianca's mind
"What exactly happened? Why did Bastian accuse you like that? To the point where he beat you up with Andrew?"Under the light of the hanging chandelier, Lucia finally asked. After dinner, she chose to keep all the questions swirling around in her head-waiting until her father went to bed.She didn't want him to interfere and make things even messier.The clock struck eleven and before they went to bed, Lucia wanted a full explanation of what was bothering her.Alex said it was a misunderstanding. So, Lucia wants to know the full story. There was no way Bastian would jump to accusations without seeing things, even though Lucia knew that her brother's perspective was always on the wrong path."You know, I only came there to see Bianca who didn't want to go home," Alex replied, sighing. The corner of his lip where Bastian had hit him still stung when he spoke.He looked at Lucia intently and continued, "But, Jasmine suddenly showed up there. I just found out that Bianca's babysitter also
Could it be that more research mutants had escaped?Alex felt confused himself. What was clear was that he was only tasked with exterminating them.They looked so horrible with their mouths oozing a thick, gray liquid. As his supervisor had said, the liquid was dangerous. Another thing Alex noticed was their iron claws that glistened in the light.Some of the mutants who were in the shadow of the building stood out with glowing red dots on their necks.Alex looked around and saw that he was on the western side of the system world. However, where were the other system humans that he said would join him?"The mutants you previously destroyed have released thousands of viruses and spread them to other creatures." the supervisor's voice suddenly appeared in the middle of Alex's thoughts.Alex paused and strained his ears."The virus evolved and took on the bodies of its victims as hosts, completely changing their forms. Their strength is divided, some are weak and some are very strong com
Alex stepped into the hallway carefully. He walked slowly and noticed the towering concrete walls. At the top, there were many creepers that formed a canopy so that only a little moonlight managed to enter.The further Alex walked, the fainter the sounds of people fighting in this area became. Alex took out his rifle in his left hand, while his right hand tightly held his golden sword that emitted laser beams.Only the sound of Alex's steps could be heard, followed by the breeze rustling the leaves. Other than that, it was very quiet.Not far ahead, there was a building that he thought was the warehouse Bella was referring to. Was the top-level mutant still there?A sudden movement was heard from above. Alex aimed his rifle, shooting directly at the 'something' moving on the vines.It fell to the ground with a loud bedebum, which was none other than the mutant.Alex approached slowly. The mutant didn't move at all, though its head still hadn't been crushed. Was he already dead?When A
Alex was unconsciously too engrossed in his surroundings to see what was in front of him.He had entered a very large old building, much larger than the field he had just walked through. There were a few unused shelves at the end of the room, while the center was completely empty. Alex looked up and saw a giant chandelier swinging right and left.'Someone or some mutant was just here'.Because there was no way the chandelier would move on its own if it wasn't touched or nudged. Alex was more convinced of the existence of mutants, as they liked to crawl on the walls and ceilings of buildings.As far as the eye could see, there was nothing.Even so, Alex wasn't going to lower his level of vigilance for a second.He walked further inside the building. At the end of the room, he saw one mutant with a height different from the others.Alex's feet completely stopped moving. His gaze was locked on the mutant, while the research creature seemed to be watching him even though he had no eyes. T
