In the end, Alfie used a high mobility Assassin hero named Haleth, armed with a dual short blade colored red. For this match, Haze also used a Support hero named Virtheon, who specialized in healing magic but had very little damage.
Haze's pick wasn't as surprising because he used Support for the second match and won. However, the spectators were curious about how he'd fare against last year's champion for all the big talk he did earlier.
Haze went to the bottom lane in the first three minutes to increase his Exp. He didn't care that Heaven's Edge had already razed the mid-lane and destroyed two defense towers. Although, even if he wanted to, he couldn't help Troy and Alfie in the mid-lane because he was busy evading Osieck's attack.
Haze called Alfie to the bottom lane in the fourth minute once Haleth's skills were unlocked. They ganged Osieck's Firiel when Heaven's Edge's other players were busy farming to level up and went toe to toe. At one point, Haze's Vir
Haze started the day with apparent smugness. Elaine was across the dining table. He had ordered her to eat there with him, claiming it was the least she could do after he had spectacularly signed a three-year contract with Red Riot Beverage. Also, he wanted to see the defeated look on her face after he had proven himself yesterday. “Shut up.” He frowned, “I didn’t say anything.” “Your face is telling enough,” she grumbled. “Don’t get carried away after one little success.” “Hey, that’s two million worth of contract I got. Surely it wasn’t little.” “I said what I said.” Haze leered at her, “You know, a little congratulation would sound nice.” “Eat shit.” “What did you say?!” Haze gasped. “What a foul thing to say for that big talk of ‘Cassius never curse’ thing you go on and on.” Face flaming red, Elaine finished her breakfast and left to the kitchen. “You’re mad?” Haze teased, following her to th
“I have to tell father,” the sharp-eyed Maxine was about to leave Haze’s study room.“Max, wait!” Elaine halted her and tried to reason, “Who told you about Cassius’s death.”“What does it matter?”“Because,” the brunette glanced at Haze, who now cupped his palm against the newest bruise on his face, “If what he said is true, then Mr. Blackwood would have already known about it.”“Are you saying that my father lied about my brother’s death?” Maxine sneered at the assistant’s guess. “He might be harsh, but he wouldn’t lie about his own son’s death.”“That’s not what I mean,” Elaine argued in a softer tone, “I want to believe Cassius died in a single car accident too, but this is just strange. As you said earlier, it’s just too much of a coincidence with….” She glanced at Haze a
Haze and the two girls who hated his gut arrived at Walemount in the early afternoon. It was the city where he grew up with his mother, before she passed away a few years ago. He liked this city much, from its green environment and easy public access.However, being here reminded him of the people who hurt him just a few weeks ago.This was the city where Vicky Turner and Derek Philips lived, the ex-girlfriend who cheated on him, and the former best friend who beat him for money. This was the city where Haze Wilburn died and never walked the Earth again.He chuckled at the bitter memory, at the biggest betrayal the closest people to him ever did."So, who are we meeting?" the sharp-eyed Maxine asked from the shotgun seat.A frown formed on his face, thinking he should be sitting there, instead of suffering in the back seat all by himself. In turn, he glared at Elaine, who refused to let him drive, reminding him that the last time he was driving, so
"What do you want from me?" Derek asked through gritted teeth, keeping his emotion in check, or they'd call the law enforcer."We just want Haze's death certificate and all of his medical reports."Derek laughed at that. "Why do you think I have them?""You were his best friend–""Best friend? If he wasn't dead already, I'd kill him myself for even thinking we're close! That damned egoist bastard cost me everything! He failed me when I needed him the most! Because of him, my investor withdrew and my company went bankrupt! He ruined everything!"The electricity in Derek's apartment unit suddenly went out and–Bam!The front door opened harshly, revealing a figure standing in the middle. The light from the corridor made it so that only the figure's silhouette was visible, telling him it was a male."Who is there?!" Derek shouted, making both girls look towards the front door over their shoulders. He frantically search
Haze and the girls’ next destination was his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. It was located about half an hour from Derek’s place.After a quick scroll through Vicky’s social media posts, Haze found out that her relationship with the vile young CEO, Kain, had developed into something more than a fling. He even appeared in all of her recent posts.Haze scoffed as he read the thirst comments on one of her posts. It showed Vicky and her new boyfriend lazing on a beach like there was nothing wrong with it.In the fabricated truth created by Leonard Blackwood, Vicky should still mourn for Haze’s death. But only a few people knew about their relationship.He remembered the first time they met. In the subway station restroom, Haze heard a banging sound. When he searched for it, he found the source came from the female restroom. It was late at night, so no one else was around the area, leaving only him to look for the cause.When h
Vicky opened her apartment door and switched on the lights. She frowned when it merely flickered several times before completely going dark.“Great, now I have to call someone to fix it,” she grumbled and closed the door behind her.It annoyed her, but a glimpse of the rose diamond on her finger obliterated it immediately. “Ah, I can’t believe this is happening to me. I will marry Kain, and everyone will be jealous of me!”After lying on the red couch in the living room, Vicky called the landlord and reported that her electricity was out. The landlord would send someone to fix it later tonight because, apparently, only her unit was dark.Vicky was about to post the picture of her rose diamond ring when she heard something from the kitchen. She frowned and turned on her phone’s flashlight, walking on her tippy toes as fear slowly crept into her veins.Thud!The sound came from the closed bathroom, just on t
The files were carefully spread on the desk, showing a tale of lies deliberately made by one person.James Frank, the attending physician and doctor who declared Cassius Blackwood’s death, was none other than Leonard’s little doll. He went with whatever the Blackwood patriarch ordered, including falsifying one important heir of a multibillion company’s death like it was child's play.“Death caused by suffocation,” Maxine read the file, frowning at the crude lie. “It really said that. No mention of poison or internal damage. Only death by suffocation.”The three of them were equally infuriated, especially Haze. He was there when everything happened without a warning, and his life drastically changed. Maybe for the better, but who knows, right?After another look into the death certificate and medical report from the hospital, they were certain of one thing. Leonard consciously hid the fact that Cassius died of pois
Today, Haze and Elaine headed to Grand Meadow Hospital, where Cassius was proclaimed dead.Despite his clear protest, Maxine coerced him into letting her tag along. If the bruise on his face wasn’t hurting, he would do anything to prevent her going with them. Unfortunately, her lethal fist left a painful memory in its wake.Once they arrived at the hospital, Haze already donned a disguise. It was nothing special, but Elaine turned out to be very capable with a set of make up in her hands. She managed to make him appear different with a blond bleached hair and eyeshadows. The makeup also served a purpose to hide the proof of Maxine’s physical attack.All in all, dressed in a black tee, ripped jeans, and combat boots made Haze look like a rocker losing his way in the hospital. Not one or two, but almost everyone they passed in the lobby stared at him.Haze tried to hide his uneasiness. “Okay, you know what? I think this only makes me stand
