The next morning.Ulmer entered the hotel room and said, “Grandma, it’s eight o’clock. Wake up. I brought sweet milk and cookies.”However, there was no response from her. She wasn’t moving at all.Ulmer’s heart skipped a beat. He went over to her and put his finger under her nose. Feeling her breathing, he felt relieved.She was too important of a figure in his life, and the last thing he wanted was for her to disappear. He may be quite powerful, but he still didn’t have the strength to stop her from entering the afterlife if that’s what God wanted to happen today.Feeling grateful for the current moment he was sharing with her, Ulmer then played the rock music softly on the record player.Ulmer sat on the edge of the bed and crunched on the cookies and sipped on the sweet milk.The smell of the cookies eventually reached Mollie’s nose. A few seconds later, her nose twitched whether it be due to excitement or irritation.She opened her eyes and got up. “Are those biscuits?” her eyes
The car arrived at Ross’ house, but Marcus sat silently in his seat because both Ulmer and Mollie were sleeping.Marcus was feeling proud of Ulmer, thinking, “Even after knowing that he’s got a trillion dollar bounty on his head, he’s still able to take a nap. As expected of someone I accepted as my master! Just when I think that things might be getting too much for him, he proves me wrong.”A few seconds of silence passed.“But this time, the enemies are not one or two groups… the enemy is the entire swamp itself,” Marcus thought. “It’s not something just one man can fight against. I’m not able to hire anybody to come to our side as they could all be tempted to go for Master’s head. Only the closest associates to me are on my side, but they are nowhere near enough. In any major war, the pawns play a significant role. Since we don’t have the pawns, we have to strengthen our defenses even more. So, instead of spreading out, staying in one house is the safest option.”Marcus looked in t
Ulmer, who was in a dream despite being a mere clone, suddenly felt something strike him, and it forcefully brought him out of his sleep.When he opened his eyes, he saw Marcus’ face up close, and Marcus’ hand had pierced right through his chest.There was no expression of happiness, anger, or anything on Marcus’ face. He looked like a robot on a mission. His eyes looked dead.However, confusion soon filled Marcus’ eyes as no blood poured out of Ulmer’s chest. And Marcus felt like he had stuck his hand in a quagmire. He tried to pull his hand, but it wouldn’t come.“Why Marcus?” Ulmer’s face thickened with anger. “Why did you do this? I had a feeling that you might shift sides again, but I didn’t expect you to do it so quickly. Was it for the trillion dollars?”Marcus, however, didn’t say anything. Instead, he tried to grab Mollie’s throat.Ulmer couldn’t let that happen. Before Marcus’ hand could reach Mollie, Ulmer’s fist struck his face.Marcus should have gotten blown back, but hi
In an underground city called Crimia, which was built under Bronich city on the western side of it.This city had an area of exactly 1000 square kilometers, and it was built hundreds of areas ago and stood the test of time to this day, thanks to its thick red brick walls.From thieves and larcenists to bank robbers and airplane hijackers, all kinds of criminals of all levels gathered here.This city became a hub for transportation of drugs, humans, and other illegal goods from one end to another.Manslaughter was the most common thing in this almost-lawless region.The city had 109 levels, with the lowest level 1 being closest to the surface and the highest level 109 being the bottom-most. The higher the level, the more dangerous the criminals and creatures and mysterious beings got.A typical human would need a great amount of luck just to get past level 30.Currently, on all the 109 levels in Crimia, one poster was being fixed on the walls, being shown on the televisions and everywh
Mollie entered the duplex house carefully because she was afraid of slipping on that marble floor.Jamie, Ivy, Ben, and Ruth were in the hall.“Grandma,” seeing Mollie, Ben quickly came over to her.Mollie felt happy that at least he came to her even though Jamie didn’t.Ross and others came out of their rooms. Calvin and Fiona were happy to see Mollie.“Where were you, Mom?” Jamie asked her. “Where did Ulmer take you?”“Are you asking because you were worried about me, or you just want to know what happened?” Mollie asked him back.“O-Of course, I’m worried about you!” Jamie quickly blurted. “But it’s just that you’re too old to go out.”“I’m old, but I still managed to go to Salem and roam the city and eat at Tuna Waves,” Mollie said. “You know, while returning, my grandson booked a private jet for us. I have never experienced such a smooth and peaceful ride before. I used to think that the rich people were ignorant fools for buying luxury cars and flights, but now that I’ve roamed
A couple of minutes earlier.Ulmer was outside the duplex house, and he looked at his mobile before it even rang. It was Ririka calling.Ulmer’s brows drew together. His Drevon bank account was canceled overnight, so he was not able to use his card. It was only because of Marcus’ assistance, he was able to travel to Salem and come back without having any monetary issues.Naturally, Ulmer was quite upset with the Drevon bank for freezing his account without even telling him.Still and all, he wanted to know why Ririka was calling him now, so he answered it.“Mr. Ulmer, is that you?” Ririka asked.“Did you call me to check if I’m still alive or not?” Ulmer asked her.“I-I’m extremely sorry for what happened. I told my dad to not listen to Rick Orisini, but Rick threatened to kill my mom and her side of the family,” Ririka quickly said. “They were taken hostage, so my dad was forced to remove your account. However, I managed to transport all your storage items to safety. They are still s
Jude’s body flew over the couch, spinning and rolling through the air until he banged into the wall.It happened so fast that it looked like a bull had hit him.Everyone was astounded by Ulmer’s strength, but what they didn’t know was that Ulmer had controlled his anger and strength greatly, or not even a single cell in Jude’s body would have remained from that single strike.Jude was completely knocked out, a few of his teeth broken, and the right side of his jaw also broke.Jude’s wife, Kristi, was so shocked and terrified by it she lost her senses and fainted.Ulmer stood tall, holding a deformed metal pot in his hand. After checking on his grandmother and seeing that she was alright, Ulmer then began to reshape the pot with his bare hands. He didn’t bring it back to its original form, so as to not stun others too much, but he did make the pot look like it’s a pot now.Ben couldn’t help but frown. (He removed the dents with his bare fingers. Just how strong is this guy?) Rememberin
Jude and Kristi wanted to leave the house, but Ulmer didn’t let them go, knowing that they would just be taken hostage.Instead, he forced them to serve his grandmother. He made Jude to wave a hand fan for Mollie. Kristi had to massage Mollie’s legs.It was extremely humiliating in itself, but whenever she massaged in a hurry, Mollie would smack her in the head and remind her to do it slowly and gently.“I’m old as one can be,” Mollie blurted. “Are you planning on breaking my bones or what? Be more gentle if you don’t want me to hit you.”Mollie then looked at Jude.“What’s with that speed? Are your big wrists only for decoration?” Mollie growled at him. “Wave faster. At least make a few strands of my hair fly. Otherwise, you’re reaching the minimum speed!”“Krgh,” Jude swallowed his anger and frustration and waved the hand fan faster. When there was a fan, she was making him wave a hand fan.If only Jude didn’t have the backing of Marcus, Jude would have never let himself be harassed
