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
Two snipers were watching Ross’ house from more than a mile away.“The Richard family is known for their warm hospitality and kindness,” one of the snipers said, talking through his earpiece. “If we act like travelers, they might receive us into their homes.”“Just shut up and keep your focus up,” the other sniper blurted.Both of them were on different buildings, covering different angles.“I’m trying, but I can’t see any face from here, other than that of the guards stationed outside. At this rate, we’re only going to waste our time.”“It’s a trillion dollar head we’re trying for, so have some patience, dude.”“Ugh.”Just then, Ulmer flashed behind one of them and said, “What do you see from here?”“Nothing much,” the sniper was saying, but he soon realized that it wasn’t his friend’s voice. He immediately tried to grab the handgun on his waist.But Ulmer stomped on his hand and crushed it underfoot, making him scream.The second guy kept asking through his earpiece, but there was n
Mollie’s simple words made the situation a little too awkward for both Amelie and Ulmer. If they hadn’t known each other in the past, Mollie’s words wouldn’t have affected them much, but now, they were definitely embarrassed.Amelie felt more embarrassed than Ulmer and excused herself from the kitchen after taking a few more slices of bread, saying, “I’ll give these grandpa and grandma.”“Grandma…” Ulmer felt like pulling Mollie’s nose, though he controlled himself. “How could you speak like that? She’s engaged to Ben, and you embarrassed her.”“What I said is something that’s in my mind. It’s not a big deal,” Mollie backed herself. “Amelie seems like a good girl. And I want a good girl like her for you. It’s hard to find a decent girl these days. Even the one in our family is not bright. She is always scheming like her mother.”“Don’t worry. I already have one in my life,” Ulmer replied.Mollie was surprised. “Are you talking about the one that cheated on you?”“No, I wasn’t talking
As the sun dipped below the skyline of the city, the shadows of the buildings grew longer.While staring at the sky above the horizon that was hues of orange and golden, Ulmer was eating bread, one delicious morsel at a time. He didn’t add jam, as the bread alone was tasty enough to make him want to enjoy this flavor.He seemed quite relaxed, albeit, his heart was thudding a bit loudly in his chest.The bounty of a trillion dollars was looming over his head like a giant dark cloud that signaled a major storm.Every second for Ulmer felt five to ten seconds longer as he was on the lookout for all possible threats that could come at him at this very moment.Just then, a SUV stopped by the entrance, and a somewhat familiar face stepped out of it.“Leo Sinclair…”He was a college friend of Ulmer.“Why is this guy here?” Ulmer frowned because Leo was a resident of Salem city, so what was he doing now in Bronich city?[Don’t trust anybody, Ulmer.] Dove’s voice rang in his mind. [Even former
