“Finally! You’re awake!” Sebastian screamed with a huge smile on his face. He had just entered the office when Jake opened his eyes and sat up. Jake looked at him, and he quickly raised his left brow and removed the smile from his face. “You sounded so happy to see my wake up, Sebastian,” Jake said, smirking. Archris and Karlow then snickered as they stared at Sebastian. Sebastian entered the room and approached Jake’s bed. Then he threw two folders loaded with files onto his lap. “You have lots of pending work to do, Mr. Chairman,” he sarcastically said while looking at Jake. “The board and the major shareholders are asking about your condition, and I guess I could tell them that you got better.” Jake nodded. “And one more thing,” Sebastian said, walking towards the door. “Call Caroline. She freaked out when she learned what happened to you.” Jake turned around and scowled at Sebastian. “Why do you have to tell her?" “Because she’s asking,” Sebastian said before smirking. “And
There were ten fully geared soldiers inside the minister’s office, and they only allowed three of Jake’s bodyguards inside. So he took Sebastian, Jonas, and Gary with him.Jake found it weird, but he didn’t want to argue anymore. He thought of leaving, but he was also curious about what the defense minister would tell him.The minister took two crystal classes and a bottle of brandy from one of his cupboards. He poured brandy into the glasses and put one of them in front of Jake.But Jake just stared at it before glaring back at the man who sat just across him.“I am National Defense Minister Leonardo Zamonte,” the man introduced himself. “Actually, I talked to two of your acquaintances already.”“Acquaintances?” He tilted his head and squinted his eyes.“Their names are Archris and Lyca. I was with your city mayor when that conversation happened.”“But how did you know that they knew me?”The man took a sip of brandy and smiled. “I am not the defense minister for nothing, Mr. Drummon
Jake ordered Archris and Lyca to look for more information about the village that Damascus allegedly destroyed, where a lot of people died. He was a bit suspicious about what the defense minister told him, and he wanted to have his own investigation.He also thought that Damascus was killed in Eldramoria before being sent to his world. But the question that lies in his head is how he died and who killed him.He also told Archris, Lyca, and Karlow about what Narwak told him about the magic spell that Tharanos used before he was sealed and that they should be prepared in case the evil tyrant transmigrated to their current world.Days passed, and the city returned to its normal routine. The lockdown was finally lifted, and people had returned to their normal lives as well. They finished repairing the prisons and jails, and the underground facility the Dragons made finally became a new detention center.The mayor then acknowledged Jake’s effort in helping the people, especially with the s
Jake immediately noticed three expensive sports cars lined up in their garage. He got out of the car with a stern face, along with his bodyguards. And as he walked towards the entrance door, seven men in black suits with golden linings and guns blocked them from entering.“What’s the meaning of this?” He asked the man with mohawk blonde hair. “This is my mansion, so why are you blocking our way?!”But the man didn’t flinch. He stepped in front of Jake and stared him down.“So, you want some trouble, huh?” Jake scoffed, then looked the man in the eyes. And in just seconds, the man started to frown and groan in pain. And slowly, he kneeled on the ground. The six other men pointed their guns at him. But his bodyguards also pointed their guns back at them.“Answer me. Do you want some trouble?” Jake asked again as he pressed the blonde man to the ground.“No. Please. Let me go!"“Are you shouting at me?!” "No," the man said as softly as he could. "Please let me go.”Jake glared at the ma
The police arrested Celeste and his men. She was screaming while being dragged out of the mansion that Jake was a monster. But since the police didn’t see any damage to her and her men, they just shrugged it off and put her and her men behind bars. The next day, Jake had a meeting with his board of directors, and he was happy to know that they had started gaining profits again. Also, more countries started to order their medicine and other products. The inflation had gradually gone down as the officials who were members of the Dragons did their best to influence the prices of primary commodities, which affected the economy in a good way. However, the unemployment rate was still very high. Meanwhile, Draco told the police everything he knew about Anthony Smith, who was already on the wanted list and had a bounty on his head. The forensic department of the city had finished conducting autopsies on the bodies of the mutated supersoldiers. And as expected, they couldn’t really explain
It was midnight. The warden and some officers just finished checking each cell before going back to their posts. The warden sat on his chair and looked at the monitors in front of him, and he stared at the one that showed Draco sleeping on his bed.However, it was only an image. Draco had already manipulated it beforehand.Draco was sitting on the floor, legs crossed, and his eyes closed. He started to cast spells as he concentrated on the small amount of magic energy that Narwak left in him. However, he was having a hard time finding the man.He closed his eyes firmly, and sweat started to form on his forehead. He was already seeing different people and lights. He had been in different places, but he couldn’t find Narwak.“Come on, where are you?” he said as he searched. He even cast another spell, dream-tracking magic, but he couldn’t really find the man who once controlled him.Until he reached a dark and gloomy mountain. He couldn’t tell where it was, but he could feel Nawak’s mag
Jake was invited to a TV interview on one of the biggest networks in the country. He was there to answer questions about the wound healing ointment and the other one, which the public called the miracle pills. He was asked how he was able to formulate the drug and the ointment, and he didn’t have problems answering all their questions. He had anticipated them already and prepared answers for each and every question they would ask. Also, he was asked questions from some live audiences and online.Then he received an award and a token of appreciation for what he and his company had done in recent weeks to help his city, the country, and even the whole world. However, not everybody was pleased with what he did.“Alright! Let’s hear some questions from our live audiences!” the host cheerfully said. Then he pulled a number from a fish bowl. “68. Audience no. 68, you can now stand up and ask your question to Mr. Drummond.”A tanned-skinned woman stood up, raising the card, saying 68. Then
Jake went straight to the hospital after his meeting in their office. Along with him was Archris, who waited for him in front of the hospital. And when they entered, there was Lyca sitting outside the room where Draco was resting. And there were three police officers guarding every corner of the room.“Lyca, how is he?” Archris asked.The woman sighed and looked at them. “I don’t know. Even the doctors couldn’t pinpoint what was really wrong with him. They said that his injuries are all minor, but they couldn’t tell why he isn’t waking up.”“Have you tried healing magic?” Jake asked.Lyca nodded before looking at Jake. “Yeah. But it just healed his physical injuries.”Jake nodded and took a peek inside the room, and there he saw Draco sleeping soundly. He was about to open the door when two familiar faces came: Police Captain Cruz and Sgt. Hearns.“Mr. Drummond. You’re quite a busy bee, aren’t you?” The police captain greeted him. “And I didn’t expect to see you here.”“Captain,” he s
