At Tuna Waves.Bjorn was still waiting at a table, hoping to meet Nicole at the end of her shift. Even though it was around eight in the night at the time, there were still plenty of customers, most of whom were youngsters.“The Dream Creed has really taken over the gaming market,” Bjorn muttered under his breath. “Five years back, I thought Regan Creed lost his mind when I saw him invest his own money instead of taking business loans from banks, but now I understand why he’s risked that much. His gaming company that was only worth a few hundred billion dollars now became a giant worth over 19 trillion dollars. Even the Supreme Bank associated with it has raised its market cap to 4 trillion dollars the last time I checked. A few other companies that also associated themselves with the Creed Tech company also grew into trillionaires over the past few years.” He felt like he really missed out on something big. “But why is it that the grandson of Regan still bothers to come to a restaura
The soup was still hot enough to hurt Nicole. However, she did not scream. She bore the pain even though her skin burned.“What have you done!” Stuart raised his voice.Titan stood, and he towered over Stuart. His fist was the size of Stuart’s head. “Arrogant chefs who take their customers for granted will never get far in their careers!” He didn’t even bother to answer Stuart and kept humiliating Nicole. “If you don’t even know how hot you should make the soup, you don’t deserve to be a chef. Even a beggar can cook better than you, bitch. You totally ruined my mood and wasted my time.”Nicole wasn’t even in a position to respond. The hotness of the soup was one thing, but what hurt her even more was the spices that were added in the soup. All the hotness of the spices went into her eyes and nose and burned her flesh so much. She couldn’t even see as tears formed nonstop, trying to fight the unbearable heat in her eyes.Bjorn quickly came over, and Nicole coincidentally took his help
“Don’t expect me to go easy on you bastards.” Russell folded his sleeves as he walked toward the gangsters, and all the remaining nine gangsters attacked him together. They had weapons, but none of their weapons reached this young man. He utterly decimated them and even broke some of their bones. He finished all nine of them in less than nine seconds but was still holding onto the leader of their gang by his hair. “You dare cause nuisance in my territory? Which gang do you belong to?” Even though he asked that, he saw the scorpion tattoo on the leader’s hand. “Remove those bikes and make way for the ambulance in one minute, or your entire gang won’t exist from tomorrow.”The leader of the gang had to do what was demanded from Russell. As the ambulance passed by, the driver thanked Russell.Russell looked at the leader of the scorpion gang. “If I see you or your gang members in my Dream Zone again, I’ll not be kind for a second time. Now, scram!”After the gangsters helped each other a
Mia felt really cold at night, so much so she had to hug the pillow tightly. She was dreaming, and Gabe’s words were affecting her. She was having strange dreams which lasted until morning.When she woke up, she was puzzled to see that Gabe wasn’t in the room even though the door was still locked from the inside.“W-What happened to him?” Even the washroom’s door was open, so where could he have gone? For a long time, she didn’t even consider him escaping through the window.Mia checked under the bed to see if he was hiding there, but he wasn’t there.“What the…” she scratched her head and began to doubt what had happened last night. “I’m sure we entered the room together last night. He was on the couch when I switched the lights off, too… but… that’s not all me dreaming, or was it? Maybe he never entered the room together with me?” All the thinking only confused her even more.She checked the clock.“Oh, no, it’s already eight? I don’t have much time. I must get ready for the intervi
At ten in the morning.Mia went to a newly built museum because they were taking admissions for the guide. Mia was one among the 54 attendees.Until she went to the museum, she really wanted the job because she was used to working in the museum and believed she could get the job. However, after going there, she only experienced bad things. For instance, she almost slipped and fell at the entrance. She avoided drinking water from a glass after seeing a hair inside. One of the attendees sitting beside her kept sneezing a lot, and they didn’t even cover their nose. It was unbearable for her. Just as she was thinking, her turn came.She went into the HR room, but to her shock, Kiera was inside, for she was a co-owner of the museum.As shocked as Mia was, she quickly collected herself and turned away to leave the room.“Are you sure you want to do that?” Kiera stood from her seat, making Mia stop. “I know you’ve been tricked by someone you believed, but if you ask me, you shouldn’t keep wo
Nicole came home late last night and couldn’t sleep well. Her face, neck, and everywhere the soup fell still felt tender and sensitive to air, let alone touch.She looked for Gabe but couldn’t find him. After checking the time on her mobile, she was stunned because it was three in the afternoon.“I thought I didn’t sleep at all, but so much time has passed.”She also noticed 3 missed calls on her mobile. They were all from the same unknown number. She called the number, and Bjorn answered her call and reminded her that he helped her last night and asked her if she was feeling okay now.Even though Nicole wasn’t in the mood for talking, she still ended up talking for almost fifteen minutes.“Um, can we meet this weekend?” Bjorn braved himself and asked.“Uh, I’m quite busy with my job. I don’t think I can make time.”“I can meet you at the hotel for your work, if it’s possible? We can have dinner after your work is finished?” Bjorn suggested.His words made Nicole think. At this point,
The bank of the pond was filled with all sorts of debris, and the two crocodile brothers were waiting for him just past the thick debris which also contained floating bones and rotten carrions of different creatures.“I will risk my life just as you wish.” Gabe dove into the pond and went to the bottom of the surface straight away before rising up toward the crocodile that first dove its head down to attack him.Gabe punched the water multiple times creating bubbles everywhere to hide himself.The crocodile speared its head through the bubbles, hoping to grab onto the prey, but failed to find the human.Gabe caught the crocodile’s tail from behind. He was thinking of pulling it down so he could smash it on the floor, but the second crocodile came at him with its mouth wide open. Gabe moved away at the last second, and the second crocodile ended up biting the tail of the first crocodile. Even though it bit hard, the tail was still intact. Nevertheless, the first crocodile was hurt. And
“If you’ve really got balls, then come at me!” Gabe’s words somehow annoyed the crocodiles. They propelled themselves at him using a combo technique while bashing each other’s heads to get to Gabe first.“Haa!” Gabe leaped out of the water, somersaulted and stomped on the backs of both the crocodiles. His landing was powerful, but the water helped the crocodiles easily bear the impact. They rolled aggressively, causing Gabe to lose footing.“Shit,” Gabe fell right in the middle. Both crocodiles raised their heads and bashed their bodies into Gabe from either side and at the same time grabbed his body, wherever they could find a grip with their teeth.Both of the crocodiles immediately rolled their bodies in opposite ways. It was an impeccable teamwork of the brothers as they endeavored to defeat the opponent.They thought they had won with that, but what they had actually caught onto was a gibbon’s carrion. It was not fresh meat, so the brothers didn’t fight over it and looked for the
