The waiting area soon became relatively empty as the guests vacated the premises. It felt like a sort of simulation to the Langley and Paxton family. This can not be happening. Especially not on a great and beautiful day like this.

The Langley family was all gathered in one corner of the area. The Paxton family quickly joined them, too. They didn't want to be the only one standing by themselves.

Some relatives of the Paxton and Langley family had fled with the guests, too. The thugs of Ceballos didn't look like they were there to play. Just a word from Ceballos and they would pounce on the people.

Chairman Langley was very displeased, but there was nothing he could do. He was not a fool. He could tell right now that things have changed against his favor. Although he had called Ceballos, Ceballos was no longer taking orders from him.

The other members of the family were equally displeased. But since the patricach of the family could not do anything about the situation, who were they

    Slade remained clueless as he stood there staring at Ceballos and his men.Why was Ceballos bowing, didn't him and his men clear the room to beat him to stupor?"What is this?" Slade asked eventually, after doing all the questioning in his head but never got an answer. Ceballos lifted his body slowly to look at Slade, but he didn't directly look into his eyes at first. Slade noticed this.The Ceballos who was looking down on him earlier. Who was staring down at him as though he was a piece of junkyard, was now reluctant to look him in the eyes? What a peculiar twist. "Forgive me and my men for being so rude to you. We must have lost our minds for a moment." Ceballos continued, now building the courage to at least arch his face to hold up the frame of Slade. "We didn't know who you were until now. If you do not spare us, we absolutely deserve your fierce judgement." He added, bowing his head to the floor again. Slade hated what was happening right now. He didn't hate the fact that

    Jendall Kurtis's Villa.Candayce was pacing to and fro, from one corner of the room to the other. She was restless, unwilling to sit even though she had been told for the hundredth time. Jendall's eyes followed her as she moved back and forth. He was sitting in a reclining car, an aid for his old back. There were a couple of men behind him. All of a sudden, Candyce stopped pacing and started walking to her father. "You should sit." Her father urged, signaling at one of the many couches in sight. "I'm worried. Something bad might have happened to him. I don't know what this feeling is." Candyce's eyes were wild as she stake the claim. There was a shade of horror idling in the corner of her face. "Didn't you say that you watched him take care of some men all by himself? I think he should be able to protect himself. I have faith in him." Lord Jendall acclaimed, looking quite confident. "That was against the bodyguards of the Langley family!!! I'm talking about Ceballos himself! Ceb

    Slade's eyes returned to normal, and Lord Jendall could not see the abrupt metamorphosis. Staring at the building from the standpoint, Slade couldn't help but stare in awe of the beauty of the villa. He had walked this lane for almost an hour, but he had never seen a villa as grandiose and exhuastively stylish as this. Standing in front of this villa made him discover that there was a mountain backdrop highlighting the aesthetics of the estate. The view was immaculate. "Let's just not stand here. Let's see if it's to your fittings." Lord Jendall insisted and led him towards the villa. The greenery of the lawn, and clearness of the pool were just too ethereal to be real. When Slade got to the doorstep, there was a whirring sound that come from the center of the door. It was a robotic activity that pushed out what looked like a camera from the middle of the door. "Since nobody has ever lived here, and you are the new owner, you have to register your face and finger prints in case

    In the Langley villa, the atmosphere was tensed and there were hostile chatters flying around the space. All eyes were wild and mean, all for the same motive. Vixton was one of the people who was displeased and restless. He was pacing the foyer, to and fro. He just kept mumbling and muttering to himself. He was entirely red from rage. "We cannot let that bastard go scotfree.""That's right we've got to do something about him.""People like him should be made to eat their boots and die licking their own poo! So that in their next lifetime they wouldn't dare to mess with people beyond their class.""But why did Ceballos suddenly wanted us to go?""I'm more worried about how that bastard was able to maneuver his way and stop those thugs from shooting him.""What a joke! He's an ex-convict. A prisoner has nothing but time. He probably have been doing some workout, which must have given him a delusion to think that he can just do what he wants.""I'm sure my cousin will not let this slid

    He ran quickly out of the house. "Mamita!!!" He called her name as loudly as he could, but he got no response. He was restless. At this point, he didn't know what to think. There were a couple of thoughts trampling over one another in his mind, yet he couldn't clear them out. His mind zoomed back to the pot of rice that had fallen on the floor. That couldn't have happened without some exertion of force. With the thought of force springing in his mind, his restlessness tripled and quadrupled. Did the Langley family find her again? Did they trace her to this house? Did they abduct her? Where is she, and what are they doing to her?His eyes had turned red at these thoughts. He could feel blood racing and rushing through his veins. His hands have been fisted, bones crackling. All of a sudden, he realized something. Earlier today, when he came here with Mamita, the neighborhood was a little bit lively and moving. Right now, things seemed unusually quiet. Slade took a deep breath. He

    There were murmurs going around as Slade referred to the neighborhood as his. The elderly folks looked impressed. They didn't know him per se since they've only known Mamita for the past few years. Before any of the three men could say a word, one of the elderly folks, an old woman wearing a loose gown, had quickly stepped forward. "Maria, is this your son?" The woman asked Mamita, inspecting Slade from his head to toe. Slade's attention shifted from the current situation to the woman. He wasn't really bothered by the way the woman was looking at him. Instead, what she had just said picked something in him. His mother? Mamita, his mother? Although Mamita was older than him and was his nanny, she wasn't at that age to give birth when he was born!To think that she was being referred to as his mother hurt Slade so bad. Does she now look so old that his Mary Poppings now looked like someone who could mother him?A new phase of emotional roller-coaster was about to pop off, but Slade

    Slade took a deep breath. He was getting to understand the situation gradually. "We came here to help these ungrateful old people! We want to see if we can save the water, but they don't want to see reason. How annoying." The guy spat on the floor. "May dog eat your mouth!!!!" One of the elderly folks yelled at the guy. "How dare you put it like that, you little scum! You want to pour chemicals in this river! But you want to kick us out our houses after pouring the chemical! And you want to do that tomorrow!! Are you insane? Where do you expect us to go?""It's simple. Don't you have kids or something. Go live with them for a few months." The guy scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Can you hear this forsaken rounded muffin!" The elderly man pointed in rage. "Carlos! You too! You'll do this to those who watched you grow and fed you?" A woman yelled at the third guy of the group who has been quiet since. Carlos basically lived in this neighborhood and was raised here. His grandfather died

    "What are you doing! Answer the call! Or do you want to get fired?!" The other guy yelled at the tough guy. The tough guy quickly snapped out of the frenzy."Hello, Director." He sounded so soft and gentle as though he wasn't the same person who was haughty and bossy towards Slade. He was silent for a couple of moments as he listened over the phone. After a few seconds, the call was hung like it never happened. He reluctantly lifted his gaze, looking quite wearied as he stared at Slade. "What! What happened? What did he say?" The other guy was dying to get to the root of this. It was only the tough guy who was able to listen to the call.The tough guy's face suddenly turned into a scowl as he moved closer to Slade. His eyes dimmed, and there was a shot of a rage. "Don't you dare to think that this is over." He warned Slade. "Although I don't know why the director just called me out of the blue, but..."The guy didn't know what else to say, or perhaps he didn't feel the need to c

    "Huh?" Manuel thought his ears were playing some tricks on him. Of course he heard what Slade had said but he refused to believe it. Slade didn't respond to him. Instead he turned around to look at Katrina. "You should lie down." He advised. Katrina looked around the layout of the building. She turned around inspecting every corner that her eyes could see from that spot. "There should be a room here." She led the way to one of the doors in sight. Manuel stood there in shock as he saw how energetic Katrina had become. Katrina who seemed weak and tacky was now moving lightly as though she was never sick. The door was pushed open and Katrina walked into a room. The room was well arranged and opulent. Although its size was not as big as every modern room, but its interior and furniture choices were just perfect. "We can use here." She turned to look at Slade as she sat on the bed. Slade walked into the room and looked around for a moment. By the metrics of comparison, he found thi

    "Katrina, I'm busy!" A serious voice of Jon blared through the speaker. Manuel was stunned by the manner at which Jon had spoken. He had always thought that Katrina was well respected and revered by Jon. If Jon had spoken on the phone like this, does it mean that he had done the same earlier, or some time before?"You should not call someone over and over again as though they owe you! I'm only trying to help you, don't make it difficult for the both of us." Jon kept on going as though he had been looking for an outlet to vent. "Don't call me again unless I call you. If you do, I'll make sure to restrain all your access to every services of mine that were exclusive to you." He warned sternly. "I'm hanging the call right now." He added. "Jon." Slade said point in time that Jon was about to hang the call in the fit of rage. "Divine doctor?!" Jon exclaimed at once. Everyone in the building were shocked by this. They were shocked by the fact that Jon Waterz, the mighty controller of

    Both Manuel and Katrina were startled when they came to find Slade seated in the safe house. It was rather too strange to believe. "Who the hell are you?" Manuel quickly stepped forward, making sure to shield Katrina from any potential attack. "If I wanted to kill the both of you, I'd had done it on your way here. In the blink of an eye, too." Slade replied, looking at Manuel who thought he was looking quite scary. "Answer me, you bastard! Who the fuck are you!!!" Manuel yelled, walking towards Slade. "How the hell did you get in here?" Manuel was now standing in front of Slade. Manuel didn't seem to have any sense of self-awareness or protection. He seemed to be more driven by his rage and emotions. Right now, the only thing he could think of was making this strange man beg him for his life. "I'll be on my way, then." Slade suddenly got up on his feet. It would seem as though Manuel hadn't been on the top of his voice yelling questions. Of course Slade could hear all the quest

    "Katrina?" Slade asked, trying to fetch the information that would complement what Lord JK had just said to him. "The president and leader of the Nyther-Rim Group." Lord JK added. "Oh. That bitch!" Slade exclaimed, his brows furrowing. When he called Katrina a bitch, the old woman quickly looked at him. Slade smiled at her, nodding. He wasn't sure whether or not the woman understood what that meant. He thought that an old woman like that wouldn't know much about curse words. "Did she call you personally?" Slade asked, reviewing the possibilities of this. "She dare not. She wouldn't even conceive the thought let alone try to act it out." Lord JK'S voice was firm and serious as he said this. He sounded quite offended, but Slade knew that the old man could not possibly be offended at him. Also, he knew that Lord JK hated every board member of the Nyther-Rim Group. Of course the old man knew the story of his family!"Then how were you able to decide that she was one who called?" Sla

    "Mr Jon." Katrina said as she answered the call. She put the call on speaker. Manuel was surprised that she would do that. He had no idea what the motivation behind this was. "I've been trying to reach the number of the immortal doctor, but I just couldn't." Jon Waterz replied with a tone of resignation. "I'm sure you know how difficult it is to talk to Lord JK. I tried talking to him but he didn't seem to be on the same page. His response was not optimistic." Jon explained further. "I believe that he has the same fears as us. He doesn't want to offend the immortal doctor." Jon added finally. Katrina was silent for a second. Who was this strange doctor that even the mighty Lord JK was scared of bothering? She couldn't wait to meet him. Not only for the purpose of being healed but for other reasons which she was yet to decide. "Is there nothing else we could do?" Manuel slipped into the conversation. He realised that Katrina seemed to have drifted from the conversation into anot

    After those last words of Ivana, she was out of sight. She disappeared and the trace of her could never be found again. Katrina looked to the side and saw a bird flying away. Her gaze lingered on the bird for a moment. There were a lot of things running around in her head. Things that weren't easy to come to terms with. Every little doubts that she had earlier about this strange lady had finally dissolved. She didn't need anyone or anything to prove to her that Ivana was truly the one who had done the deed. Ivana had just said something about someone putting a mark on her. Katrina wanted to believe that the Supreme god who had slipped the insect into her body was none other than Ivana's master. She believed that what was happening was something beyond the ordinary. Giving by a lot of circumstances: The death of all the board members, the disappearance and the bird that had just flew away. "Where did that bitch go just now?" Manuel came storming back in her direction. Manuel didn

    Katrina came to stop when she saw a pretty lady standing in front of her. The lady was standing next to an SUV. The face of the lady looked cute and innocent. Katrina didn't know what to believe at first as she stared at the lady. Katrina found what the lady was wearing quite funny. Her eyes squinted for a minute. The lady was wearing something that was made from the skin of a random animal. She didn't think she had seen that animal before. The lady could have been taken for someone rough and wild, but just staring at how cute and clean her legs were, it was hard to come to a direct conclusion. Katrina, at this point, was caught in between claws of confusion. She didn't really know what to attribute to this strange lady. Before she stepped out of the villa, Dexter had cried and warned her that the lady outside was the one who had killed all the board members. How could it be so, Katrina wondered? This strange lady didn't look like someone who could even harm a fly. "Oh my fucking

    If blinking his eyes a million times was the better resort, Manuel should have been able to arrive at a perfect response by now. What was set in front of him right now was beyond what he could have seen coming. There was a heap of newly killed people in the center of the living room. Each of the people had their bodies severed in different regions. The head of a man was cut off. The bowel of another was pulled out of the stomach. Intenstines were hanging around the neck of some. One of them had his legs twisted to the back and curled around the back of the neck. Manuel couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the scene. He wished that this was nothing but a staged facade. Perhaps a sort of illusion that had been fused into reality just like the VR game. He was still speechless when he came to recognize the face of one of the dead men. "Klein?!!!" He screamed, running forward. Klein was one of the important board members of the Nyther-Rim Group."What happened to you, Klein? Who

    "Huh?" Manuel was taken by surprise following the suggestion that she had just made. "I believe that he's the only one who can be of help to me in this situation." Katrian added, looking beaten up. Manuel changed his position in his seat, turning fully to look at her. Earlier, ever since they got back to the villa after the experience at the beach, they had both been silent. Manuel, out of shame, had decided to turn his back to her in order not to measure his shame by the weight of the look on her face. "But nobody knows his whereabouts." Manuel added. "That shouldn't be a problem. We will find a way to get to him." She assured, nodding slowly. She hated to believe that she would be left to die this way. She had hardly achieved anything in her life. She had gone through a lot trying to claim Nyther-Rim for herself, positioning herself as the top figure in the company and the leader of the board members. It hadn't even been that long that she assumed that place of power. She was
