Slade pulled the car over in front of a building. When he climbed out of the car, he was standing in front of a magnificent hundred floor building.

He looked from where he was to the top of the building. He shut his eyes for a moment as he let the breeze and sun massage his face in distinct flavor.

This building is called the Pinnacle Height. It was one of the few buildings that was considered as the best of the best in the country.

This building is exclusive to some set of people that have attained a specific social status.

Three years ago, Slade used to frequent this building because of the family business back then. But right now things are different.

His father's company that used to flourish has been hijacked by the other families who used to be shareholders in the company.

"I'll own this one day." He muttered to himself.

He walked away from his car. He had decided to park his car at a distant place in order not to create attention. He wasn't the type to seek validation from

    "Get along?!!!" Vixton's brother-in-law exclaimed. "What are you talking about, cousin?" The other company was as stupefied. Slade was equally stunned by what Vixton had just said. Of all the things that he knew Vixton was capable of, he never imagined that those words would fall from his lips. "Come here." Vixton's cousin dragged him to the side. "What are you talking about bro? What do you mean by you want to get along with that fool?" "Have you forgotten what he did to you? How he ruined your wedding? Have you forgotten that as we speak right now Mariana is still crying back at home?"Vixton just looked from one man to the other as they tried to scold him."Do you think I am fool?" Vixton answered eventually. When he said this, they slowly started to space out on the rage. Perhaps Vixton knew what he was doing after all. "Just follow my lead and don't ruin the fun." His tone changed quite a little bit that his company realised that he wasserious at this point. They nodded w

    Lord Jendall Kurtis was standing in front of his car, surrounded by a group of men who were dressed in different brands and designs of suits. Each of the men looked polish which goes to prove that they are more than a security personell that works under the JK family. "I'm glad that you have agreed with us to send men to treat the water." One of the men said to Lord JK. "We can definitely turn that slum into one of the best areas in Pinnacle County.""More importantly, we can easily diverge the attention of the public from the place before they'd ever discover that the land is rich with some --" The man talking now decided to trail off. The silence he created after that last word was enough for the rest of the group who already knew what he was trying to talk about. "Lest I forget, why did you decide against sending our men there tomorrow? The quicker the better." A man in blue suits addressed Lord JK."Do not be in a haste. I'll let you know when it's time to send men over. Pend

    All these while, Slade was seated in his car, watching all of this unfold. He saw when Lord JK walked out of Pinnacle Height with the distinguised men. He also saw that the man was looking around in search of him. He understood why Lord JK would do that instead of calling him on the phone. Slade himself had promised that he would be hanging around outside the building but he was not there. He had wanted to walk up to Lord JK after the distinguished men left, but suddenly stopped when he saw Vixton. He really didn't know what meaning to read to what Vixton did. But he was certain that no good would ever come out of it. Then again, he wasn't actually bothered by things like that. He had other pressing matter to be bothered about at that moment. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number of Lord JK. He had to be discreet with this. He didn't want himself to be seen publicly with Lord JK. There are always hidden media people that hang around powerful men like Lord JK. They would

    Lord JK looked extremely horrified after what Slade had just said. For the first few seconds, he couldn't bring himself to justify any form of reaction. He just kept staring at Slade as though he was going to pick something from his face.Lord JK was trying to see whether or not Slade was being serious or if there was any other meaning that he could possibly read to this.When he saw how knitted the face of Slade was, he pushed his body forward in the seat, facing Slade fully."Divine doctor." He muttered, still struggling to choose the right set of words."Did something happen? Did I do something wrong? Did my daughter call you and caused you any form of inconvenience? Could it be something else that some of my subordinates did?" Lord JK was running all over the words!He really didn't know how to bring himself to accept what Slade had just said. He wished he could nod his head and just let it pass but he couldn't."I used to think that you were an honorable man, but perhaps I was ve

    Slade was still stuck on the fact that Lord JK willingly announced himself to the elderly folks.To the people in the slum, names like Jendall Kurtis was a myth. They've only heard the name. They had known to fear and be in great dread of the name. But never believe that such a person truly exists.Just like history was passed down through generations about some iconic or ruthless people who once existed in history. But their life story seemed so unsuall and brutal that one would grow to think that it was all a myth to scare the kids.Same was the situation between Lord JK and people who live in slums like this.Thereby, announcing himself to them was such a huge deal! In fact, not many influential folks have met with Lord JK, how much more people who live in the slum!!If the news about the visit of Lord JK gets out into the public, this entire area will be flooded by media personnel in the blink of an eye.Taking just a clear picture of Lord JK's face and copyrighted could be sold f

    "But after treating the river, and after the construction, this neighborhood will forever belong to the elders. That's the essence of buying this land." Lord JK assured.Slade had a lot to think about at this point. This situation was grander than he could ever have imagined, and to think that he had painted Lord JK as the villian was something he now regretted and was willing to take back. Suddenly, Slade fell down on his knees right in front of Lord JK. The man's eyes widened in absolute shock. There was no way in the whole universe where he could have seen this coming. "Divine doctor, what are you doing?" Lord JK looked horrified to see Slade on his knees, dropping in the muddy area. In fact, the shoes of Lord JK was already coated in sticky soil, how much more Slade who was now on his knees?"I was wrong to have accused you blindly. I should have asked you a question and gotten to the root of this, but I decided to play myself." Slade had his head dropped, as he apologized. Sl

    Lord JK was startled by Slade exclamation at first. The man was just about to welcome the expert and his men who had come to test the water. All of a sudden, Slade had exclaimed disrupting the pleasantries. He decided to watch what the hell was going on. "It's you. Isn't it?" Slade added, looking really surprised to see this person. "Nyther the Viper! The invincible sage!" The man, who now identifies as Guler, exclaimed, too.He equally looked surprised to see Slade, but the surprise was seeped in a lighter mood. Guler rushed to Slade and hugged him warmly. Slade felt a little uncomfortable having to hug a fellow man so tightly! But Guler seemed to be defeated by joy and didn't see anything wrong with the felicitation. "When the hell did you get out of prison?" Guler asked Slade, pulling away. "Man, you look very different. Did you get out three months ago?" Slade didn't answer the question immediately. He didn't want to be too forward with the answers, but then when he recalled

    Guler stood there grounded to the spot. He was staring blankly as though he had lost every brain cell left in his head.Slade Nyther was known as a weakling back in the prison before he mysteriously became powerful. He became so powerful that the strongest and deadliest inmates never wanted smoke with him!But that was in the prison. A powerful man in the prison should in no sense equate the same when such finds himself in the real world!Guler wouldn't have had a problem getting over this if the person who had just bowed to Slade was a normal rich person! If it was the patriach of another family, he might not have reacted this way!But seeing that Lord Jendall Kurtis, the most powerful patriach in Pinnacle county, had just bowed to Slade! His jaws remained dropped as he watched the man go. "I'll see you to your car." Slade called on top of his voice and followed Lord Jendall who was already far gone. Slade realised that Guler would have a lot of questions to ask him. This wasn't th

    "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
