THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Shocking Missing
The emergency lights flickered once more before stabilizing, casting a pale, sterile glow over the hospital corridor. Thenma leaned back against the wall, folding his arms tightly across his chest, forcing his breathing into slow, controlled rhythms. Across from him, Alex shifted his weight, grimacing as the movement tugged at his injuries. "You asked what happened," Alex rasped, his voice low and rough. "I'll tell you." Thenma gave a short nod, bracing himself. "Laura was working late," Alex began, his gaze distant, as if seeing the events unfold again in front of him. "Digging through her files. Cross-referencing a string of data leaks we’d picked up from the Montgomery case—Edward Montgomery’s money laundering through Highlife Apartments. She’d found something... something serious." "Serious how?" Thenma asked quietly. Alex gave a small, bitter laugh. "Enough to put half his empire in front of a judge. Enough to finally crack the ones shielding him." Thenma’s jaw tightened. L
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM To Find The Girl
As Katarina had previously guessed, apparently Collin's fever was not a fever that healed overnight. It had been three days, and Collin still didn't have enough stamina to return to his normal activities. So Katarina insisted on telling him to stay in the room, and let Katarina take care of the things she usually took care of.One of them is like what Katarina is doing right now; negotiate with one of the people Collin suspects—Joey, the former head mechanic of The Elites family.This afternoon Katarina decided to come directly to meet Joey and talk to him, perhaps the middle-aged man would talk to her because he and Collin certainly had a lot of pressure. Collin had said himself that maybe Joey was afraid to talk to him because Collin had a strong intimidating aura, so Katarina would try to speak softly at this opportunity.Katarina steeled herself and stepped into the house Collin had told her about earlier. One of the houses that was neither luxurious nor small, a simple house that
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Chase Me
Katarina felt like her world was turning upside down. Or was it? After trying to protect the girl who was almost hit by a city transit car, Katarina couldn't help but let herself take the place of the child as she tasted the tip of the speeding metal.Katarina was only grazed, but the factors following her managed to make her fall more dramatic than that of the child she was helping. Katarina toppled over so many times, she couldn't count them to even realize whether her head hit the road or not. She was reckless.But when her head felt like it was spinning violently, the girl came to her with a look of deathly anxiety. Her expression was much different from the cold look she had shown earlier. "Lady... Lady okay?" she asked, then hit herself on the head for asking such an obvious question. Katarina was not okay!People who had seen what had happened earlier and those who hadn't, flocked to where Katarina lay limply now. Even the driver was responsible enough to come down and ask h
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Keep The Distance Far
Katarina was stunned. No matter how many times she listened, she still wondered why Joey was trying to stay away from The Elites, even to the point of indoctrinating her family like this and making it seem like The Elites was a bad ex-employer who let her out while causing trouble.The more she thought about it, the more suspicious Katarina became. If she had experienced it firsthand like this, she could no longer think badly of Collin and his prejudice against others. What Collin suspected was real, and Katarina felt it."If Lady is really someone from The Elites, please don't follow me anymore. I will pay for her hospital fees, but please don't see me or my family again." While Katarina was busy pondering, Lily suddenly said something like that. Katarina wanted to quickly evade but she restrained herself when she saw the girl's face which was really pleading, as if she did not want to be bothered by anything related to The Elites anymore.Katarina sighed. It almost occurred to he
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM I Smell Something's Off
Katarina turned around, it was Collin who came straight to Katarina quickly and snatched the drugs out of Katarina's hands. "What are you doing?" the man asked, just enough to make Katarina sigh tiredly.Though there was only a little more .... to go"You're trying to cause trouble with Silas again?" asked Collin, he looked furious but still tried to contain it. "What exactly are you thinking, Katarina? Please leave Silas alone, let him calm down!""Can you feel at ease if the real villain is still roaming around Thenma?" Katarina asked back, leaving Collin with a look of astonishment. Katarina returned Collin's gaze boldly, then she took the drugs back from Collin's hand. "I'm trying to find the real culprit, Doctor, I don't suspect Silas alone and I've searched every room in this house. And do you see what I'm holding? These are the drugs you checked when Adie bought them from outside, the ones that replaced the fake ones you used!"Collin gave Katarina a sharp look, seemingly unabl
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Ripe Enough
The rest of the drive unfolded in heavy silence, though not the brittle, wounded quiet from before. This was different—charged with thought, reflection, a thousand unspoken decisions forming behind Katarina’s downcast eyes.When Collin finally steered the car into the narrow private driveway of their safehouse, the night had deepened into a heavy, oppressive calm. The house itself was an unremarkable structure tucked behind a thicket of ironbark trees—ordinary enough to be invisible to the casual passerby, fortified enough to hold its own against anything less casual.Collin parked neatly beside the porch, cutting the engine with a smooth flick of his wrist. The moment the keys clicked out of the ignition, Katarina unbuckled her seatbelt, but didn’t immediately move to open the door. She sat there instead, the interior lights soft against her pale face, her fingers threading nervously together.He waited, patient.After a long moment, she finally spoke, her voice steadier now, though
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Barely Breathe
Somewhere deep beneath Blostom’s rotting heart, far below the streetlights and laughter, Joey Douglas sat chained to a chair that groaned with every shallow breath he took.The room around him was a tomb — low, damp, stinking of mildew and old rust. A single bulb swung from the ceiling, its weak light carving sharp shadows across cracked concrete walls.Joey’s face was barely recognizable anymore.One eye swollen shut. Blood dried in a crust along his temple. His lower lip split open so deep he tasted iron every time he moved.He slumped forward, wrists cuffed so tightly his hands had turned a sickly color beneath the shackles. Every small movement sent jolts of pain up his arms, but worse was the steady, gnawing ache in his ribs — cracked, maybe broken — from the last time one of the men had decided to remind him of his place.And they were still here.Three of them, standing just beyond the thin halo of light, their faces blurred by shadow and menace.Watching him. Waiting.Like gri
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Do We Failed?
The hospital corridor smelled of bleach and something far less clean — desperation.It clung to the cracked linoleum floors, the scuffed walls, the faded plastic chairs bolted to the floor.Thenma sat hunched forward on one of those chairs, his elbows on his knees, staring at the floor as if the answers he needed might somehow crawl out of the tile grout. His jacket was still damp from the rain outside, the cold seeping through the thin fabric, but he barely noticed.Across from him, Laura Finch lay motionless on the hospital bed behind the glass partition.IV lines tethered her to machines that beeped in slow, measured rhythm, like a clock counting down seconds she couldn’t afford to lose.She was awake now — but barely.Her eyes flickered open and closed in exhausted intervals. She hadn’t spoken since he arrived; just the occasional faint movement of her brow, a silent acknowledgment that she recognized him.Thenma scrubbed his hands through his hair, tension knotting every muscle i

The Best One
The weight of Litch’s words hung heavily in the air, oppressive and suffocating. Thenma stood there, his thoughts swirling like a storm inside his mind, threatening to drown him. He could feel the tension in his muscles, the urge to lash out and take action, but he knew better than to let his emotions dictate his next move. In moments like these, impulsivity was a luxury he couldn’t afford. Litch was too dangerous, too calculating, and it was clear now more than ever that there was much more at play than Thenma had first imagined.As the man in front of him continued to speak, his voice a mix of arrogance and contempt, Thenma’s thoughts began to drift back to the one thing he hadn’t been able to shake. The nagging feeling that something—no, someone—was missing from the story. He’d been so caught up in the pursuit of the truth, so driven by the need to uncover the machinations behind Verona Lounge and the women who had been subjected to these cruel experiments, that he had failed to se
Verona Lounge Deepest Secret
Verona Lounge had always been a place of mystery and allure, its velvet-draped walls and dim, intimate lighting drawing in both the city’s elite and those seeking something darker. The low hum of chatter mixed with the soft jazz music played in the background, giving the lounge an air of seductive secrecy. For most, it was just a night out—a drink, a dance, a few hours of escape from the world. For Thenma, however, the air was thick with something far more sinister. Something that could unravel everything he thought he knew.He sat at a corner booth, the smooth surface of the table cool under his fingertips, his eyes scanning the room. His thoughts were fragmented, like shards of glass piercing through the fog of his mind. He had come here for answers, though he hadn’t quite realized it when he entered. But now, as the minutes ticked by, and the murmur of conversations swirled around him, he began to connect the dots in ways he hadn’t before.There was something off about the women he
Suffocating Struggle
The silence that followed the voice’s chilling words was suffocating. Thenma’s pulse quickened, his senses sharpening as the darkness seemed to press in around them. The photograph in his hand trembled ever so slightly, his eyes still locked on the blurry figure. The uncertainty of the moment gnawed at him — the feeling that something monumental was about to unfold, something he was not prepared for. The words “Not who you think” echoed in his mind, and he couldn’t shake the sense that this was just the beginning of something far more dangerous than he could have anticipated.Collin stood frozen, still by the door, his eyes darting around the room as if trying to find the source of the voice. But there was nothing. No one in sight. The air seemed to vibrate with a strange energy, thick with the weight of impending danger.“Who was that?” Collin asked, his voice low and tense. He took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and Thenma, his hand resting near the gun holster
Total Chaos
The drive to Anony was a blur, the city lights outside the car window nothing more than streaks of yellow and red as Collin sped through the streets. Thenma sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his mind racing. Every second that ticked by brought them closer to a destination that seemed more like a trap than a safe haven. He had a nagging feeling that something far more insidious than what they had already faced was waiting for them in Anony, but what? And why was it that every time they made progress, a new door opened, revealing more danger, more secrets?“Hold on,” Collin muttered under his breath as they hit a sharp turn, tires screeching as the car leaned into the curve. “You still sure about this?”“Yeah,” Thenma replied, his voice steady, though his gut churned with unease. “We have to know what happened at the Highlife apartment. It’s all connected.”Collin didn’t respond. The tension between them hung in the air, thick and oppressive. They had been thr
Play The Fire
The shot echoed, a singular sound that seemed to stretch through the air, freezing everything in its wake. Thenma’s heart skipped a beat as the world seemed to slow, the darkness of the night thickening around them. Time itself held its breath.Edward Montgomery’s expression remained unchanged. He stood there, too still for comfort, his hands resting casually in his pockets. But his eyes — they were cold, calculating, predatory. He knew exactly what was happening, and in some sick way, he was enjoying it. The corners of his mouth curled into that same thin smile, one that had become far too familiar.Thenma’s instincts were razor-sharp, his mind already calculating his next move. But the hesitation lingered. The shot had come from somewhere — from a direction he hadn’t expected. It had been too quick, too precise, and too clean.“Who—?” Thenma began, his voice tight, but the words died in his throat as he scanned the scene. His eyes darted to Collin, who stood just a few steps behind,
No Time To Die
The city peeled away behind them in a blur of dying neon and fractured asphalt. Thenma gripped the passenger side door as Collin wrestled the battered sedan through a sharp turn, tires screeching in protest. Reve’s map flickered across Thenma’s phone, the signal weakening with every heartbeat, a desperate thread of hope unraveling into static."You sure this is right?" Collin asked without glancing away from the road, his jaw set with grim focus.Thenma didn’t answer immediately. His eyes scanned the data, piecing together the broken coordinates, the erratic timestamps. Every instinct he had screamed that they were cutting it dangerously close — that Joey was slipping further beyond reach with each mile they lost."I’m sure enough," he said finally, voice clipped.Collin exhaled through his teeth, muttering under his breath. "God help us."The industrial district sprawled before them like a graveyard. Hollowed factories and abandoned shipping yards sprawled in every direction, shadows
Not Afraid
Atop the Highlife Tower, where the city lights dulled into a distant, worthless smear against the smoked glass, Edward Montgomery stood at the head of a polished mahogany table, his reflection warped and twisted across its surface. The conference room was silent but for the faint hum of machinery hidden in the walls — state-of-the-art security, bulletproof windows, a fortress disguised as opulence.The men seated around him were not businessmen. Not truly. They wore suits, yes, and silk ties, and watches that cost more than a middle-class salary, but beneath the fabric, they were wolves. Predators with polished smiles and bloodstained hands.Edward let the silence stretch, savoring the discomfort it bred.Fear was a useful seasoning. It made men pliable.Finally, he spoke, voice calm, measured — almost amused."Joey Douglas..." He drew out the name as if tasting it, savoring the bitterness. "A minor inconvenience, but one that required addressing."A murmur rippled through the room, n
Mercy
The safehouse walls, once solid and reassuring in their industrial bleakness, now seemed paper-thin as the wail of sirens grew louder, sharper, splitting the night air into shreds of dread.Each second ticked like a hammer inside Thenma's skull.Collin ripped the flash drive from the terminal and tossed it toward Thenma, who caught it with instinctive precision. Without a word, he shoved it into the inner pocket of his jacket, pressing it close to his chest like a talisman — or a timebomb."They must've been tracing the second Joey uploaded these files," Collin said, breathless, wiping his hands on his jeans as he paced back toward the main door. "Goddamn amateurs. They set the alarms off the moment they opened the drive.""Doesn't matter now," Thenma snapped. His eyes darted to the high, grimy windows above. "We need to move."[Reve: Hostiles estimated within 90 meters. Multiple vehicles. Two, possibly three squads.]The system’s emotionless voice cut through the chaos, threading int
Love and Faith Guides You
The minutes dragged like leaden weights in the frozen dark, each second hammering against Thenma’s nerves.The silence around them felt unnatural — too still, too hollow — as if the East Yard itself had been emptied of life, leaving only the scent of rust and death behind.Beside him, Joey Douglas slipped further into unconsciousness. His breaths were shallow now, rattling like broken glass in his chest. Blood darkened the torn fabric at his ribs, stark against the pale glint of streetlight slicing through the gaps between containers.[Reve: Immediate stabilization required. Risk of organ failure at 73%.]"Hold on," Thenma muttered under his breath, wiping a slick of cold sweat from his brow. His mind raced.Collin was fast, but even he couldn’t perform miracles if they were pinned down before extraction.They needed to move — or disappear.The blinking fragment of Lily's image burned in the corner of his vision.It wasn’t just random.It was a message.Or a warning.Thenma gritted hi
