Anthony quickly walked back into the room, quickly looking around for a place to hide."Tell the matron to send cleaners to clean up the dark room, I'm thinking of transferring another patient in there," the doctor said, walking towards the ward room."Fuck! He's coming here," Anthony said in alarm, looking around."Calm down!" The system said, followed by an ear splitting sound of an alarm."Fire! Fire! There's a fire!" Someone shouted, immediately the alarm went off."Fire? Call the security immediately? Where did the fire start? What caused it?" The doctor shouted urgently, walking towards the directions where he heard the alarm.The hospital became a chaotic mess because of the fire alarms, even those in the accident and emergency tried to disengage themselves from their casts, where their limbs were hanged or strapped to, hoping to reduce the oedema affecting the injured areas.Those that were a bit healthier than the rest jumped out of their various wards, making a dash for the
"I'm ready anytime, even now. Set up the task button," Anthony said, sitting comfortably on the bed.A green screen appeared before him with a light beep."Select the grade of the mission you want to embark on," the system's bell-like voice said, drawing Anthony's attention to the task."Easy!" Anthony leisurely tapped, making the so-called emotionless system shocked."Eh? Why easy? You should have gone past the level of taking easy missions. You've not taken an easy mission in the past, what's happening? Is it that you're feeling lazy, or what? The reward for fulfilling an easy ranked mission is really low," it rattled out, making Anthony roll his eyes."The task function appeared before me, the tab for easy tasks was right there, right? What prevents me from tapping the easy button? If you don't want me to tap the easy button, you should have not allowed the easy button to be there at all," he said leisurely, obviously not looking forward to the next mission."I can't remove it. Th
Anthony stopped before a restaurant in a middle-class part of town.There was a neon sign identifying it as mama's place.There were tables and spaces for outdoor recreations, for customers that prefer eating outdoors, hoping to enjoy the surrounding scenarios while eating. However, the restaurant looked really old, obviously lacking maintenance despite its good structure.There were double glass doors with the words welcome boldly written on them.Anthony pushed it open and walked into the restaurant that was nearly empty, save for the two customers who seem to be regulars sitting at the edge of the room, discussing while enjoying their meals.There was a young and beautiful woman sitting at the counter all alone, while another girl of about sixteen years was in the kitchen washing plates. It was obvious at first glance which of them was the boss.Anthony nodded in satisfaction, the place looked hygienic despite being rundown. The restaurant was sparkling clean, the two women kept ve
"Excuse me, I don't understand. What are you talking about? What tip? What do you think I want to do?" Anthony asked with his eyes narrowed.She sighed in irritation and sat down, waiting for Anthony to expose himself."You have a serious attitude problem. Although I don't know why you're staring at me like some thief, I will still say what I want to say. I want to invest in your business. I think the restaurant has the potential to become a huge chain of restaurants, maybe reaching up to the five-star level if properly managed. The food and service are good, same with the hygiene. However, the ambience and promotions are subpar. With the right promotions in media houses and rebuilding of this place, this place will have a huge potential. That's all," Anthony said looking at her.She immediately blushed, feeling guilty for her silly assumptions.He wanted to help her, but she assumed he was a womanizer like all others before him.Nothing in this world comes free, he might be the patie
"New mandatory mission alert! Save Aria Jensen from the kidnappers' den. They're planning to kill and dispose of her immediately it gets darker!" The system said, immediately Anthony parked his bike."Who is Aria Jensen, and why do I need to save her when I haven't applied for another mission?" Anthony asked with a frown."Aria Jensen is a very wealthy politician's daughter. She came from a line of successful businessmen, who have roots and branches in both the military and the government. Her father's rivals conspired with some family members that wanted him to step down as patriarch, and kidnapped her. They're trying to force him to pass some unfavorable bills which will affect the poor masses negatively, but enrich their own pockets. He's a well known billionaire, and a beloved congressman. He's not like most politicians at all. That's why he refused to give in to their threats, despite the fact that they held his only daughter hostage under the threat of death. He had tirelessly s
Anthony switched on the headlamps of his motorcycle at full intensity, affecting their sight as they quickly brought out their own weapons.The fifteen men guarding the captive quickly began to fire at Anthony in rapid succession, targeting his vital points. However, the bright light didn't let them see him properly, making him have an advantage over them.He quickly began to drive around the warehouse as fast as possible, shooting them down with the guns attached to his motorbike, while bending his bike in awkward angles in a bid to dodge the bullets.He looked just like Batman or the Avengers on a mission, his two swords still strapped to his back.One of the bullets fell on his arm and was immediately reflected by the divine armor, making him frown.The armor gets weaker with every weapon it successfully blocks, till it gets to a point where it becomes totally useless. So it was not advisable to allow a weapon to touch you at all, because you don't know when it will suddenly disin
Anthony stared at the girl who was still in flight mode, despite her whole body shaking."At this point, does it matter?" Anthony asked, walking towards her."It does, who are you?" She asked coldly, still shaking and gasping as she pointed a pen knife, which mysteriously manifested in her hands at him, preventing his advance."Where did you get that? Why do you care so much about knowing who I am?" Alex asked, removing his helmet.Aria stared steadily at the handsome face before her. Without his scary helmet, he looked incredibly innocent and harmless, contrasting against the merciless killer that saved her.He was easily top three among the most handsome men she had ever set her eyes on. But there was an aura around Anthony that made him more charming than the normal man. Or maybe it was his sexy, slim and powerful frame, filled with sexy muscles that attracted women to him.He had sexy abs, but not enough muscles to make him look bulky like Hercules or Bruce."Speak! Who sent you?
She gasped heavily, trying to hold back her tears."I have really tried. But I'm losing my mind," she whispered, clenching her shaky fists."You will regret this once the effects of whatever they fed you wears off. You will regret sharing your body with a stranger. It will kill me to see you regret it afterwards. So please, wait patiently…." He began to say, but Aria cut him off with a kiss."I won't regret it. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel a connection to you. If it was those men, I would have killed myself instantly. I will never humiliate myself like this before anyone. But I'm doing it now, shamelessly. I'm going crazy, please. Do I need to go down on my knees before you take the ache away? Please," she cried helplessly, squashing her thighs together.Anthony stared at her sexy lips, his body boiling with desire. No healthy man can resist such a beautiful angel as Jensen, Anthony was no exception. He had been feeling immense desire since he helped her pull off, while
