The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 202 Crash Landing
The XB-999 Valkyrie tore through the skies at Mach-3 speed—over 2000 miles per hour. It was a supersonic bomber, otherwise decommissioned from the military. The aircraft was one of the many overpriced assets of the New World Order.Krull Island was around five hundred miles from Springfield, but the Valkyrie braved the distance within fifteen minutes."Sir, we are about to reach the point above the island," the three-star pilot said over the radio. "Are you ready to drop?""I am ready," Victor replied. He was actually lying under the fuselage of the aircraft, inside a hollow bomb weighing half a ton.Fifteen minutes earlier, when the Valkyrie picked him up from Springfield, the pilot gave him a red pill in a sachet. It was the level-2 activation formulation that would remove specific limiters placed on his body.Victor's constitution contained tremendous, immeasurable power. When he retired from the NWO two years back and returned to civilian life, the Tribunal, Atticus Mars, let him
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 203 Dungeon Of Blood
The terrorists felt their hearts jump up their throats. What kind of human could shatter a thirty-inch reinforced wall by walking through it?The leader among them, Randy, didn’t even think twice before unleashing his Minigun. The others, who carried Automatic Browning Rifles, also opened fire on the individual who burst through the northern wall.Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat-tatTheir weapons went off in short bursts, discharging hellish fire and lead. Smoke filled the air and used bullet shells showered down like rain. The girls, who couldn’t understand what was happening, shrieked at the top of their voices.After thirty seconds of onslaught, Randy held up his hand to signal his men to stop. As their gunfire ceased and the smoke dissipated, he let out a satisfied grunt.“Whoever he was, however strong he was, underestimated the firepower of Monolith. Now let’s see what remains of his corpse.”He took two steps forward, immediately stopped in his tracks, and began raining bu
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 204 The Hero’s Bane
Victor headed towards the concert stadium with slow steps. He wanted to rescue Haley with his own hands, but it would have been dangerous. His current form was geared for battle, not fragile actions.Victor’s body temperature was already past 300 degrees Fahrenheit, enough to boil and evaporate water. If it went past 500 degrees, he would transform, which was the last thing he wanted at the moment.Victor’s clothes had burnt into him, making him look like wearing a dark costume. As the man walked, he left behind burn marks on the floor.Suddenly, a phone in the adjacent room rang. Victor quickly went inside and picked up the receiver.“Sir, are you alright?” Maverick asked. “After you destroyed their mainframe, I could hack into the communication system.”“I am fine…” Victor replied, although he found it difficult to form words. All he wanted to do was fight, kill and destroy.“The rescue team has landed and is making its way down to the dungeons. The hostages will be safe. Do you nee
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 205 Gas Station Lair
Carol's vehicle cruised to a halt outside the gas station near Tuscan Hill. It was a remote location that barely ever got any customers. At the moment, when the city was under attack, any traffic was much less likely.The gas station was boarded up and looked abandoned. Carol was about to step out of her car when she received a call. It was Claire."What is it? If you think you can change my mind at the last minute, forget it. I am already at the location. I'm not turning back!"Claire had urgency in her voice. "Carol! Forget everything else! Please listen to me carefully! The element you discovered in the Tuscan Hill mines is very dangerous!""What do you mean by dangerous? It's just a hard substance, right? Of course, there could be military applications. But it's not nuclear or anything.""We know nothing else about it! Apart from the fact that it can kill Caesar!""I… I don't understand." She knew Claire was close to Caesar and perhaps knew his true identity.Carol had watched Cae
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 206 The Choice
Tears rolled down in rivulets down Carol's cheeks. She could hear the finality in Courtney's words and see the bloodlust in her eyes. The Blackwell heiress was eager to shed blood.Carol tried to reason with herself. Revealing the new element's location would endanger Caesar but won't immediately kill him. However, at the moment, her family was a sliver away from death."Tell her what she wants to know, you stupid girl!" Martha scolded her. "What else is more important to you than your family? I'd slap you right now if I could!""What are you waiting for?" her father chimed in. "Will you ever forgive yourself if we die for your pigheadedness? Give it to her!"Josh was already wailing like a pig, unable to bear the pain from his slashed cheek. The brat had always been like that, pampered and protected. Even the slightest discomfort made him spiral into a tantrum.Carol looked from her mother to her father to her brother. There was no way out but to give in to Courtney's demand."Alrigh
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 207 Left To Die
The gas station was evacuated within minutes. A chopper landed outside, waiting for Courtney. The latter knelt beside Carol, who was fastened to a pipeline."So pretty…" she said, touching Carol's face. "I want to take something from you before I leave."Courtney kissed her on the lips. "Now I have stolen your last kiss. Or was it the first kiss as well? It was tasty anyway. Now I have a return gift for you."Carol cringed and eyed Courtney anxiously. What other surprise did the demoness have for her? Wasn't strapping an explosive device to her satisfactory enough?"You know… I met your ex-husband, Victor. I thought I'd seduce him, but he acted too aloof. And why wouldn't he? You are so much prettier and holier than you—just the kind of woman he likes. Therefore, Victor has eyes for nobody else. However, I offered him a slice of the cake you had made. He gladly gobbled it up—the emotional fool.""What have you done?" Carol exclaimed in exasperation. Courtney was ramping up to a scary r
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 208 The Typhoon
Philip Typhoon waited in the concert stadium, staring at the empty pavilions. He had already realized that the Krull Island plan was a bust.Caesar had entered the island like a maelstrom, massacring all Monolith agents single-handedly. Typhoon was the last man standing.But Typhoon was not an ordinary man. He was a general of the Puppetmaster and had abilities that exceeded normal human beings. Therefore, he was looking forward to a fight with the legendary Caesar to put his abilities to the test.Typhoon was releasing enough bloodlust to attract his target. While an ordinary person wouldn’t notice it, a fighter like Caesar would see it as a beacon. It was only a matter of time before he arrived.Tap! Tap! Tap!Footsteps sounded down the pavilion aisles. Someone was coming!Typhoon readied himself. It was showtime!However, he was disappointed to see a tall Amazonian woman approaching him. What the hell!“Who the fuck are you?” The Monolith lieutenant asked. “Are you one of the super
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 209 The King’s Hand
Typhoon withdrew his hand from Val's grip, skipping back a few yards."I've heard of you, Valeria Armstrong," he said with a smirk. "You killed many of my underlings in the past. Today, you'll pay for that.""Is that so? I don't really notice when I step on insects."Typhoon chuckled and leered at Val from head to foot. "So much beauty and grace. So much strength and confidence. I must admit I am smitten, young lady. Would you consider joining Monolith and being my lover? That's the only way you're getting out of this alive."Val tilted her head to the side. "What a generous offer! You're asking me to betray the most powerful organization in the world to join a gang of hoodlums and sleep with an ugly delinquent. I must admit I am tempted!""Your humor rivals your beauty, Valeria. Don't complain later that I didn't offer you a way out. I'll hate myself when I bash that pretty face in. When I fuck you, you'll be long dead!"Val smirked naughtily. "Oh, you're such a bad boy! Tell you wha

"What the hell are these changelings?" Kate raged. "Why are the Damonists so desperate to create them with these infernal methods?"Disgust and anger overwhelmed the girl, and her voice changed to the regular low-pitch. Normally, Kate thickened her tone to sound older to throw off any witnesses. Now, with her defenses lowered, she sounded much like a University girl."Does mutilating and killing innocents come easily to them?! They ripped out unborn babies and fetuses from pregnant women! And don't get me started on the brains!"Kate trailed off, unable to handle her own graphic imagination. She had not imagined in her worst dreams that the night would take such a dark turn.Victor nodded. "All I know is that changelings are composed of uterus and brain tissue. I am not sure why they are collecting fetuses. I haven't found the purpose or application yet."Kate fidgeted with and adjusted her mask. It had loosened a bit after her brief struggle with Roadkill. "But why make such horrible
267 Changelings
Victor checked the time on his Cartier watch. It was a Valentine's gift from Eva. He wondered what she'd be doing right now—probably still awake, waiting for her lover. Even though the duo were intimate just a few hours ago, he already missed her warm, slender body., and her naughty smile.Victor had spent all night hunting down criminals—drug peddlers, child traffickers, rapists, and burglars. They were petty offenders but still made Springfield unsafe. He would be back home already if he hadn't followed Kate to the abandoned asylum."First things first, Raven," Victor began. "Why did you call me a monster? What was that uncalled-for outburst all about?"Kate crossed her arms and gave him a quizzical look. Did Roadkill seriously not know? Was the psychopath clueless about his own murderous tendencies?"I will not fall for that," she replied defensively. "You're trying to find whether I have gathered any evidence to incriminate your brutalities. Once you know everything, it will be co
266 Bird Hunting
Kate's grip loosened a bit on her knives. Did the stranger say he was Roadkill? Why was the name so familiar? A moment's reflection brought back her doubts and anxiety.Of course! The poster vigilante, Roadkill! He was so popular among the youth that cosplayers dressed up as him in comic-con. Teen girls loved him so much they got the tattoo 'R' over objectionable parts of their bodies. There were steaks and drinks named after him!Kate ground her teeth in disgust. The Raven used to be Springfield citizens' poster heroine and sole protectress. That ended when Roadkill arrived. However, the female vigilante wasn't really upset that he stole the limelight from her. She was more disturbed by how he did it.Kate went through the newspaper articles, online blogs, and witness reports of cases in which Roadkill was involved. Even though the police department publicly denounced him, they made no attempts to curb his vigilante activities. On the other hand, the Raven was painted as a hobbyist a
265 The Raven
Kate jumped from rooftop to rooftop undetected in the darkness, her beastly green eyes glowing in the night. She was light as a feather and agile like a feline. She used parkour moves, advanced gymnastics, and physical resilience to traverse buildings.Kate was trying to put some distance between herself and the crime scene she had recently visited. Less than ten minutes later, she found a group of drunkards harassing an innocent lady. The latter was returning from shopping and somehow missed the curfew time.The villainous group ambushed her in an alley and surrounded her. After robbing the lady of her belongings, they went too far. Inebriated and stoned, they attempted to tear off her clothes and rape her.Luckily, Kate heard her cries and jumped down from the building for a rescue. She offered no warning to the perpetrators. Her powerful chops, jabs, and slams floored them in a minute. The end result was that the men needed hospitalization to survive.After making an anonymous call
264 Eva’s Perfect Life 3 (18+ Warning)
Clearly unsettled, Eva tried to get up from the bed. But she failed because her legs and arms were bound. The young woman had been stripped and made to wear a hospital gown.What was going on? Didn’t she lose consciousness in the restaurant? Where the hell did they bring her? Or was she asleep, having a nightmare?Eva heard a few voices talking but couldn’t recognize them.“The fresh specimen has a bun in the oven, sir…”“What? Is the woman pregnant? Now, that sounds like good news. We can have both her grey matter and her uterus. Jackpot!”Eva’s heart froze in horror. What nonsense were the strangers blabbering? Then, the realization hit her. She had been abducted!“Where am I?” Eva called out to the voices. “What’s going on here? Answer me! I am the Mayor’s executive assistant! You guys are in a lot of trouble! The military police will barge in at any moment and gun you down!”Eva heard footsteps. Moments later, three smiling faces loomed over her. “Ah, the specimen is awake,” a mid
263 Eva’s Perfect Life 2
Eva stopped eating her food and stared at the young man. He looked innocent, probably fresh out of high school, a college freshman. Was he a fan of Victor Cromwell?“How did you know it was me?” she asked apprehensively.“Please don’t be alarmed, ma’am,” he replied, joining his hands. “I am George. I am actually a big admirer of Mr. Victor Cromwell and the wonderful work he has been doing for Springfield. You’re always by his side in meetings, conferences, and photo ops. Therefore, it isn’t irregular for commoners like us to recognize you.”Eva was still unconvinced. “You are a fan of Victor’s work? Are you okay with military rule? Most of the city appears to be against it.”“Yes, of course they are against it!” George exclaimed. “Governments rise and fall all the time. Governance styles also change. Springfield is becoming a military-industrial complex, and people must get with the times.”Eva nodded, reassured that the boy was a modern arts student, an idealist. Why else would he tr
262 Eva's Perfect Life
Eva Atelier stepped out of the shower, looking resplendent. She wore only a white bathrobe and smelled of lavender and honey. The beauty just had a long, warm, and luxurious shower. However, the timing could have been better since it was past midnight.Victor had gone out after an hour-long lovemaking session, leaving her yearning for a thorough cleansing. Perhaps he would return soon, and they could go at it again. She was already horny thinking about her man.Victor usually disappeared every night and returned before dawn. Eva never asked him about his whereabouts. She assumed he was meeting important people and hatching plans for Springfield's betterment. The girl equated herself with a superhero's girlfriend, never disturbing his high-stakes, clandestine nightlife.It had been a month since Eva started living with Victor at the Mayor's mansion. It was now public knowledge that the two were dating. The media picked up the news on the first day and played it until the entire city kn
