Ross was standing at the entrance and was looking in the direction of the old car, inside which Elora was sitting right now. After divorce, Ross never felt like marrying someone, but he suddenly felt the desire to do so after seeing Elora. He was so focused on her, he didn’t notice Russell approaching him from behind. Russell snapped his fingers once. Ross didn’t notice. Russell patted Ross’ shoulder. “Hey.” “Mm?” Ross turned around. Seeing Russell carrying two bags, he smiled. “You’re leaving. Good for you. My driver didn’t bring your advance money, yet, so…” he took out a check book from his suit pocket. “Tell me, how much do you want? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?” “I don’t need your money,” Russell blurted. Ross smiled and then wrote a check for 25,000 dollars and tried to give it to him. “I said I don’t want it,” Russell pushed it back and was walking past him, but he briefly stopped and said, “but there is one thing I want from you, though.” “Oh, what is it?” Ross asked,
Kyra did not want to spend much time at the wedding party after her skirmish with Karensa Raer. She greeted the newly wed couple, apologized to them for the disturbance she caused, gave them three separate gifts, a Rolex watch for the groom, and a diamond necklace for the bride. The third one was the car keys of an Aston Martin Valhalla.The bride could not believe it.The groom said, “Isn’t this too costly to be given as a gift?”“Beatrix was my roommate in college for the first year,” Kyra told him. “I didn’t stay in the hostel most of the time, but when I did stay, she gave me good company. She’s a bit selfish when it comes to studying, but I totally understand that. You need to have that selfishness to succeed when the competition is so high. Once I got good grades in the first semester, she opened up to me in the second semester. We spent a good amount of time together in the library that semester. She’s part of the reason why I was able to top the grades in the first year, so th
“This is one fine car,” Tristan complimented while fingering his ear and then smelling his own finger. “I would have loved it more if only it wasn’t electric.”“I can get this modified for you if you want,” Kyra replied, still being mind-controlled by him.“Oh, that’s really sweet of you, but no thanks,” Tristan said. “I’ll keep it as it is, since the world is moving toward electric vehicles anyway, even though it’s all highly inefficient and unsafe compared to the gas vehicles.”“What makes you say that?” Kyra asked back. At this point, it wasn’t her talking but Tristan making her talk.“Electricity prices will only go up. The more people buy these vehicles, the more electricity will be used. You’ll need to stay a long time to get your vehicle charged, and on top of that the radiation inside your vehicle will constantly cook your organs and slowly make you sick and kill you,” Tristan laughed. “Only clueless idiots like you who blindly trust the trend and have too much money to spend
“Sneaking a kiss in public… This kid has gotten cheeky and childish.” Elora picked a seat that was close to where the workers were making pizzas. They were working so fast, she found it difficult to put things together. “I’m a good food critic, but not that good at cooking. He knows that, but… he still wants to eat what I cooked when I want him to eat something better and tasty.” She looked at her hands. “I haven’t cooked at all in years, but cooking for my son after all these years isn’t a bad idea, either. He’s going to end up with some woman sooner or later, so I should cook for him while I can. Mm.”She focused really hard on observing the workers this time, but she wasn’t getting far. “The pizza stones they’re using to bake the pizza look different from the commercial ovens I’ve seen. I must find out what ingredients they make the sauce with. Is there anything special they add to the dough? Like some secret oil or something? Well, let’s first order one pizza and taste it. This sh
“Bring the guy that made this shitty veg pizza!” “Tristan’s voice was loud and powerful enough to make the plates and glasses on the other tables move, and it sent shivers down the people’s spines. “I’ll eat him instead!” He smashed the table with both hands.“An earthquake?” All the people in the shop immediately began to run out of the building. None of them even thought that it was Tristan’s doing.Elora also took the remaining half of the pizza and rushed out.Christopher was initially hesitant, but then he also started running out.“Hold it,” Tristan suddenly covered almost thirty feet and stopped in front of Christopher in a flash and put his hand on his shoulder. “You’re the one who made that pizza, aren’t you?”Christopher’s eyes widened as they met with Tristan’s gaze. He couldn’t lie even if he wanted to. “Yes, that was me,” he obediently answered. “I made that pizza.”“Do you know how to make meat pizza?” Tristan asked.“I do.”“Great. Let’s use your thigh muscles as the ma
The workers and waiters slit their throats and collected their own blood in bottles, which utterly petrified Elora. Even Russell stood stunned, unable to process the extremely raw, brutal visual he had visual never seen before.“Wonderful,” Tristan clapped very happily.The workers and waiters were able to stand longer even after slitting their throats because they were all being hypnotized by Tristan. Nevertheless, they collapsed one after another and went unconscious immediately. It was a matter of seconds that all of them would die.Moreover, Christopher, the manager of the shop, hacked his own thigh and cut that flesh into pieces and used it as an ingredient to make meat pizza. He used the fresh blood of the waiters and workers as sauce.The smell that came off the hot pizza stone was very pleasing to Tristan. And it elevated his mood.Russell and Elora had no idea what was going on. They didn’t know it was all Tristan’s doing. Nevertheless, Russell grabbed his mother’s hand and t
“Stop this! Please!” Russell cried out as his hands squeezed his mother’s throat against his well.“Why would I stop such a wonderful scene from coming to its conclusion?” Tristan laughed. “I’m not that heartless.”His words were like added torture to Russell and Elora.Elora, knowing what’s happening, stopped struggling and started to smile instead. “It’s okay, son…” she squeezed out a few words with great difficulty. “This… isn’t your fault.”“N-No, mom!” Russell started screaming in rage and tried his damndest to resist Tristan’s control over his body. Just when he was starting to regain control over his body, Tristan uttered the word ‘obey,’ and Russell lost control over his body again.“I’ve killed many humans, but none like this,” Tristan’s red eyes looked pleased. His pupils turned from round to slit pupils as his ‘echo’ had taken over him. “Don’t blame me for doing this because you and I are not the same. Monsters like me have been roaming this world since the dawn of humanit
The moment Tristan’s heart exploded, and he died, Kyra regained control of herself. And she could not understand why she was at a place where she didn’t remember coming to.What’s more, her head was hurting very much as if she had a severe headache. The pain was so sharp she couldn’t speak or even think of anything else at the moment.Meanwhile, inside the pizza hut.Russell was doing chest-compressions on his mother, trying to wake her up. She wasn’t responding, and it was like a nightmare to him. “Mom! Please wake up!”“She’s not dead yet,” Benjamin came over to him. “Move aside.” Even though he asked Russell to move aside, he pushed Russell away and sent a jolt of electricity through his finger which struck Elora’s chest.And Elora began to breathe now. She didn’t regain her consciousness, but one could tell that she was breathing.Russell fell back on his butt in relief. Nevertheless, he was still shaking. His body was completely drenched in sweat. He still felt like he was living
