Con walked down the hallway of Xavier's home and for the fourth time in one day, he passed the room where Lisa was being kept and he avoided the door again.What would he go in there to do?He had failed all of them.He had failed Mark and he had broken his promise to protect his sister. He didn't even know where Adeline was anymore and the last he had heard of Nurain was the fact that it had crashed with the collapse of Orion city. Adeline was nowhere to be found now and he had made a promise to her brother to keep her safe. And not only had he failed his friend and not kept a promise he had made, he had failed a lot of other people too.He carried out his own research from time to time and he could say for a certain fact that he had caused destruction in the lives of all the people he had come into contact with.Aubrey had to go through hell after he disappeared. She had been heavily injured and also under the assault of her husband who seemed to have gotten even more wealthy and
In the test room, Lana opened her eyes to see a whole new world in front of her.A frown crossed her face and her eyebrows creased together. The feeling of the soft bed under her caught her attention at once but it failed to keep it. She had the mind of a child now.And the mind of an ancient creature that lived thousands of years but yet fell into a deep sleep somewhere along the line. Memories that weren't hers began flooding her brain, and for a quick moment, Lana felt like the world was something else.Something like a thought, or the creation of someone's imagination. These thoughts flew through her mind like they were hers but she could tell they were not. The feeling of something else living in her body became clearer with each passing second and as she stared at the ceiling one more time,A mechanical voice sounded in her ear.~Destruction of worlds system, activated.~~Current status, host of the demon god, Trin~~Requirements to live, none~ ~Have a nice life~The crease on
Jake stared at the older man in front of him and gave a small bow of his head.The time for delay was over. Things were being set in motion faster than he had thought and he had to be at the helm of those affairs if he knew he wanted to be taken along/.Horizon would soon make its entrance and appearance in Destiny's island. He couldn't fathom why they had not announced themselves all this while. They would have been unstoppable in the city, and he as their lackey would have been the most powerful among his peers.He could stand up to some people now, but those people didn't know a thing about his powerful backer. They always tended to doubt him and it annoyed him to no end that they would keep on doubting his credibility.In the case of what had happened to him a few days ago, that could have been avoided if the fool that had pulled off his arm knew he had a force like Horizon backing him up, but that person did not know and he would have to kill them after this for it.As Jake thou
Con frowned at the information he was being given and he tapped on his table.He had forgotten all about the old man he had locked in his room and now that man was dead. His only link to getting to know more about the man he had called his father suddenly dead and there was nothing he could do about it because he had been the one to cause it in the first place. He had locked his half uncle in the room and he had forgotten about the existence of the other man completely.He wasn't only a bad nephew but now he had actually managed to kill the man.Well the caretaker said he wasn't dead yet, just heavily starved and somewhat maniacal. Like a cat on the hunt for lost mice.Con found himself chuckling at that and he almost laughed out loud to himself. That man was the same one who had forced him to touch that star, killing millions in the process and making a ruin of the lives of most on the land of Orion city. The man deserved a worse death than starvation.If not for anything then for
Lisa walked in on the most peculiar scene of her life. Her father had been hugging someone else."I'm telling you, there's nothing more bizarre than that. I mean my father, hugging someone?"Clay noticed the slight high pitched tone of her voice before she paused and he watched her scoff before she shook her head again. It seemed Lisa was having a case of the hysterics and he, for one, was enjoying it to no end."You're scared your father is hugging another man. Why if i may ask?"Lisa had been muttering to herself earlier on but the moment she heard Clay's words she turned to look at him with glassy like fury in her eyes.She for one, would not take lightly to being treated like a lunatic."I know what I'm talking about Clay. I mean I saw them with my own eyes!""And what is so bad about that?"The mirth never left Clay's eyes as he spoke and he never tried to stop holding in the chuckle that was right on his lips.Lisa could be a lot of things but the one thing she really failed at
Lisa took a cursory look around and she nodded her head immediately after. Clay had always been the more perceptive one between them and she wasn't surprised to hear that he was feeling something weird too.She had been getting that exact same feeling for a while now, especially when she was alone in the hallways.Miss Aubrey was with the rest of the gang so it was only her and Clay in her lab. The fact that he was also feeling this in her lab unnerved her but she kept her cool all the same .She also had something she wanted to show him.Lisa could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she handed the eyeglasses back to Clay. He hadn't really mentioned what they could do or what they were meant for. Knowing him, she wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't decided on what to use it for.Mass destruction was out of it so she could already tell that she would be ruling that out of the pile, but apart from that, Clay could find a lot of other ways to use his creations and she could be sure t
Adeline looked at the huge building ahead of her and she gave a subtle nod of her head. The driver who sat at the front of the car was looking at her strangely, more like leering to be honest, but she could deal with that when she had gotten this out of the way first.Anyone looking at her right now would probably want to give her a very sound slap and ask her what the hell was going on in her head, maybe even try to force her to say what she planned, but she didn't believe in being forced to say anything.She would do what she wanted to do and she would do it today."Take me back home, please. I'm not feeling too well."The nasty driver only flashed a smile at her and nodded his head. As expected, just because his boss had lost an arm didn't mean the man had lost his prowess in the battlefield of the bedroom. Some of the other drivers always said that whenever Jake took a lady home, the next day, it would be almost impossible for her to walk well again. They all admired him for the
Her documents were the first thing she burnt down.Jake had helped her get all her information back from the city's citizen database. She had never really been an indigene of any of destiny's islands. She and her brother had migrated here with their parents when they were six years old. Their parents had been unsuccessful people, but maybe that was what killed them at the end of the day. Mark had to send her off to fashion school with the money left behind for the both of them and then go on to seek fortune for himself.Adeline felt her heart shattering with every detail she remembered about her brother now and tears were forming in her eyes.If Mark had been here then there would have been no way that she would have had to face all she was facing. Her brother had been a mercenary soldier, working hand in hand with the international defense services of the whole nation. Even if he didn't look rich or powerful, he was still someone that could have helped her dispose of the minor bugs
