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
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 210 Eye Of The Inferno
"Caesar… Is that you?" Carol whimpered, looking up at the carnival mask. Who else could it be? She received a nod from the man."There's a bomb attached to me!" She exclaimed. "It's going to detonate in forty seconds! Why did you have to come to me now? You'll die with me needlessly!""I know," was the calm reply.Carol was spiraling into panic and couldn't even think straight. Why would the man come to rescue her, knowing death was inevitable? It was clearly a suicide run!"First, we need to get away from this gas station," the masked Victor told her.Before Carol could react, he snipped the chains that held her to the pipeline. Then he picked her up like a doll and heaved her on the shoulders."What are you doing…" the young woman murmured. "The bomb-"Whoosh! Victor cleared the gas station in one horizontal leap and covered over a hundred feet across the road. He skidded to a stop at the edge of the main road, overlooking the valley below.Without a second thought, the man jumped of
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 211 Carnality
Victor slid open the bathroom door wide, entered, and closed it behind him. It was a rectangular room with a jumbo shower at one end and a sauna table at the other.Carol immediately moved her arms on instinct, covering her breasts with one arm and her crotch with the other.The duo looked into each other’s eyes for a full minute, communicating without words. Their breathing became faster as affection turned into desire.Carol dropped her arms and took a step towards the man. She was five foot eight inches tall, while Victor towered over her at six foot three.The man lifted Carol’s chin and lowered his face to put his lips on hers. It was a long and passionate kiss for which they had waited for ages. Their tongues touched, and fluids mixed.Carol’s slender body was exquisitely shaped, with voluptuous but firm breasts and a slim, flawless waist. Her hips curved alluringly into a bubble butt and toned thighs.Victor pulled Carol closer, and his hand grabbed a handful of her firm buttoc
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 212 The Breakup
Victor turned and regarded Carol with a look of disbelief. "Is this true? Did you give the coordinates to Monolith?"The young woman pursed her lips and averted his gaze. She couldn't even meet his eyes as guilt overwhelmed her. Carol crossed her arms, lowered her head, and nodded. Victor's expressions showed sorrow and disappointment for a moment as if something precious was taken from him.NWO had strived for years not to unearth Thanatos. The element was his bane and kept all enemies at bay. Now, hell was about to break loose. All because of Carol's betrayal.A shadow seemed to wash over Victor. His eyes became cold and seemingly distant. He turned sharply towards the crowd of soldiers."Now that the Puppetmaster has a weapon to counter me, he will immediately invade the city. We need to be ready for war at the break of dawn! General Baker!""Yes, sir!" Lance stepped forward and addressed him."How many troops can you spare for Springfield's protection?""Including the present comp
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 213 The Night Before
It was late at night, but Regal Rock (Black Rock) was bustling. Within hours, the largest estate of Springfield had turned into a war fortress. Its boundary walls had been reinforced to withstand even tank bombardments. If the city's defenses fell, Regal Rock was the bastion where NWO could make its last stand.Victor gathered his war council in the main conference room. His three five-star generals—Maverick, Valerie, and Drew were present. General Lance Baker had been temporarily inducted into the NWO as a four-star. At the same time, Clive Baron and Elsa Madison had also been promoted. Michael Bolton and the other four-stars were in attendance as well. Finally, Victor's cousin, the Governor of Springfield, was there.A fifteen-foot wide LED screen showed the tactical positions of NWO and military troops, along with real-time feed from cameras and other sensors."Give me a summary of the latest reports, Mav," Victor said, leaning over the conference table.Maverick fiddled with his k
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 214 The Night Before 2
Victor looked around at the Regal Rock estate from the terrace battlements. There were seven towers, two reserved for key individuals the NWO wanted to protect. The guests included the Triumvirate billionaires Claire Holt, Rose and Carol Atelier, and Sebastian Damone, among others.One of Victor's thousand gifts was superhuman vision. He could see far-off things on activation with an eagle's accuracy and an owl's night vision. Scanning the estate, he saw a female standing on the northwest tower's terrace.Optimizing his eyes, Victor realized she was none other than Claire. The beauty was wearing a thin nightgown and was looking straight towards his building. Naturally, she couldn't see that far… But did Claire expect him to notice her?Victor climbed the terrace's edge and kicked off with a gentle takeoff, covering over fifty yards airborne. He landed lightly on the northwest tower, skipping down to the terrace. The man stealthily approached Claire from behind."Ahem."Claire jumped i

"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
