Adrian couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as he walked into his home, knowing that the system had been successfully degraded. It had been unbearable, and fear had constantly plagued Adrian. Who knew the more vile things it had been planning to request him to do? Maybe harder tasks that he wouldn't be able to bring himself to carry out.He took a quick shower and thought of Lucas who was probably on his way to the house, so they could deliberate on, and finish their mastermind plan. Adrian smiled, loving every bit of the plan.It was going to be a crucial step in their plan to gather intel on the impossible tyrant, Steve Wilson. Although it involved a lot of risk, Adrian was ready to go through it. They were going to deploy their secret weapon— a cutting-edge piece of technology known as the Caterpillar, which Lucas had developed. He stepped out of the shower, wrapped himself in his bathrobe, and blow-dried himself. It was just so hard to stop thinking about it. The ca
Sophie had gotten back home, feeling happy that she was no longer alone, and she had someone who she could share her pain with.On getting home, she met Steve Wilson, tapping his feet like something had gone wrong. She couldn’t bring herself to ask, and couldn’t even go to her room, pretending like she didn’t feel there was something weird with the situation.“And where are you coming back, from, Sophie?” He questioned me, in a calm manner, like he was trying not to let all hell, loose, on me. “From… from school. I kind of had to do an assignment, using the library.” She defended herself, hoping he was going to take that as a good response. “School?” He questioned, with his brow, raised.“Yes.” Sophie responded, trying her best not to act shaky.“So, who were you with, while doing the assignment?” Steve Wilson questioned as he crossed his legs.“I was alone. It wasn’t a group assignment, so I had to do it myself. And immediately I was done, I left.”“Sophie, you are going to ‘The Gr
“If you felt that you could get away with this, then you are kidding me. I’m going to ensure that both of you never try to cross my path, even in your second life.” The leader said, with an annoyed expression.“What do we do?” Sophie muttered under her breath, to Claire.“I’ll say we just keep moving backwards until we think of a perfect escape.” Claire suggested.And even though the suggestion was lame, it was still more like the best thing to do at that moment. They began to take steps backwards, while the Pee Ride Boys, only laughed, knowing fully well that there was no way of escape for them.Just as their backs touched the wall, and were already surrounded by the Pee Ride Boys, the door barged open, which caused all of them to look towards the door.“Sophie!” Adrian called out as he rushed in.As Sophie’s eyes fell on Adrian and Lucas, a loud piercing sound went through her ears, and she covered her ears as she couldn’t bear it anymore. Her head felt like she was going through a
“Well, he has to pay for what he did. By the way, with what I remember, Claire’s life is in danger. He had warned me not to mingle when I got to college, but you know… I got into situations which made Claire always have to bump in for me. So, he found that out, due to the spy which he installed to watch me.” Sophie explained, and Adrian sighed.“I see. We’ll find a way to ensure she is safe.” He assured Sophie, and she leaned back on the bed’s headboard, feeling relieved.“By the way, how did you guys find me? The way Steve Wilson did everything. It must have been really difficult to get to me.” Sophie asked, out of curiosity.“It was really difficult, I tell you. We came to his house, and the guards didn’t allow us in. In fact, there was no proof that he actually took you. So, what we did was to invent a caterpillar tech which helped us to eavesdrop on conversations. Luckily for us, we were listening, when he voiced out the name of the college you were attending.” Adrian explained to
Steve Wilson knew exactly what kind of person Adrian was; at least the basics, which were that he was intelligent and had tactics that could destroy a person if he actually had the right resources. "And what do you have in mind?" Steve Wilson questioned, curious to hear what he had in mind."Well, you're about to enter a contest, and truly, you need the people's trust. I'm just going to have to upload it to the masses, and you're gone. Including all you've built." Adrian uttered, with a satisfied look.Steve Wilson twitched his lips and clenched his fist while he was holding his wine glass, firmly."So, if you don't want to go down, back off!" Adrian warned him and turned to leave."You may think you have won, but I want you to know this. You can never win against me." Steve Wilson voiced out, but Adrian ignored him."Wow. That was some guts you showed, over there." Lucas uttered as they went out of Steve Wilson's mansion."We both know that to shake a man like Steve Wilson, one has
Adrian sat, and leaned back on the chair, then let out a sign.“What am I to do?” Adrian questioned as he folded his arms, not interested in eating what had been laid down.“You have to date me until after your contest. But this time, it has to be like real dating. You have to kiss me deeply, we are going to sex, and other things. That way, I can feel my wounds, being nursed from the hurts you caused me.”Adrian sat up, and scoffed.“You really are funny, and should I say you are quite shameless. You have a husband already, and damn! He’s wealthy, well-known. He is also sought after for things people don’t have. He does everything you want, and cares about your emotions. Yet, you are here, looking for other men.” Adrian spoke, feeling so irritated by her.“That’s none of your business, Adrian. You hurt me, so you should pay for it.”“Hurt? You came to me even while you were married, and wanted to have a thing for me. Just because I didn’t agree to it, shouldn’t count as hurting you. A
Adrian connected the heel of his palm, against his face, and dragged it to his chin. Sometimes, the system gave him ridiculous tasks. He was certain that the system didn’t mean for him to pick anybody to credit that amount.It was certainly someone who was in need of it. How was he going to know anyone who was in need of it? Even the wealthy who was going bankrupt, but still dressed well, could be in need of it.“Damn! I hope this won’t be the death of me.” He uttered under his breath.Then he started the car, and drove off to the nearest bank. On getting to that bank, he looked around. Everyone was busy with different activities, and he had to place both hands on his waist.He had to go close to the attendants who were attending to customers, to know if there was anyone in need, or in problem, but all he could see and hear were big deals.“There’s literally no one with a visible problem, here. How do I find that one person who would be in need of money?” he spoke, almost feeling frus
Adrian got down from his car, trying to understand what the hell was going on, at that moment. He had helped the boy to get what he needed to save his mother, so it was baffling to hear the task had not been completed.“How could this happen? I just gave someone the 50 million dollars that was needed. How is it that the task wasn’t completed?”THE TASK WASN’T DONE SUCCESSFULLY. The system was beginning to get annoying as it wasn’t explaining things in a way he would understand.“At least, explain further for me to understand.” Adrian spoke out in frustration.But there was no response from the system, and about ten minutes had been wasted.Now, he had to start from getting the young teenager whom he had given that money, as it was obvious that he couldn’t leave it, and give out another one. Judging from the way the system did things, it still wouldn’t count it as a task, successfully completed.It had told him to spend 50 thousand dollars, and not a hundred.“Alright, bring out Danie
