On the same day.Russell came to Creed Zone to preorder the gaming gear and also record a vlog while he’s at it. Because he had money, he bought the most advanced gear with all the necessary accessories, which cost him about 12,000 dollars.His followers were shocked by his boldness and the risk he’s taking. And then there were those who kept teasing him by calling him rich.“I know this is risky because I’m not used to playing these games, but… I will be training for the next week in this place,” Russell told his followers. “I’ll learn as much as I can so that my streams won’t be boring.”After packing the gear in his car, he was exploring the place and visited the stores he didn’t before.When he went to a shop full of toys, he heard the shopkeeper talking on the phone, “I hope that Sir Regan will come back healthy. If he dies, my shop will be doomed. All of us invested a lot in these stores. His death will really break our backbones. I’ve been praying since last night that he shoul
At an open restaurant inside Creed Zone.“You want to join a technical support associate?” the HR manager was snorting at Denver. “With your resume?”“Sir, I don’t have job experience, but I’m good with integrating systems,” Denver desperately explained himself. “Just give me a task, and I’ll not disappoint you.”“The hardware assembly used for Dream Creed is much more complex than what you are taught in colleges or private workshops,” the HR manager blurted. “Even experienced technical support specialists will have to be very careful when handling our equipment, despite all the encapsulation done to make things easier to understand. If you are thinking of using our code to write your own scripts, then you forget about it because we hide that information under many levels of security that’s well-guarded by three supercomputers. Hacking even a little bit of code, be it an attribute or a method used in programming, is not possible even if you work at it for decades.”“I only came here f
“I told my situation to many of my friends,” Denver told Russell. “Though most of them expressed pity before me, they probably told others about my story and laughed about it. 99% of the friends I have aren’t really friends, and the person I didn’t really think of as a friend is now willing to help me. I’m not saying this to sugarcoat or anything, but you are a good soul. I was blinded by my love and lust for Natasha that I couldn’t see you as a friend before.”Russell didn’t say anything. Though he was willing to help Denver, can he really think of Denver as a friend now? Can he share his personal problems with him? Can he really trust him to never betray him? He didn’t think so. Can he really forgive him for killing his dog? So much bad stuff happened between these that it might never be possible for Russell to truly consider him as a friend and fully trust him.“Why exactly did your marriage go wrong with Kyra?” Denver asked, surprising Russell because he didn’t think that Denver w
Russell and Denver were almost two hundred feet away, and they were stunned just like everyone else.Denver was so shaken, he began to run away.The criminals continued to shoot until they emptied their magazines. At least two hundred bullets were shot. Though it was an armored car, many bullets still managed to break into the car.Other than Russell and a couple other people, everyone else ran away from the scene.The two people in the car were not moving.“Drag them out,” the boss of the criminals said. He was 6 feet 6 inches tall and was bulky. “We’ll behead them and put their heads for display.”Two criminals were walking toward the car, but then the doors opened. Both Liam and David stepped out, and they were completely unhurt.The criminals stepped back in utter puzzlement and confusion and shock.“What the fuck?” the boss of the criminals couldn’t comprehend what he was seeing.“Who do you want me to kill first?” David asked.“You can deal with everyone else except the boss,” L
Regan was getting ready to leave the hospital without the doctors’ permission. But then, a very unexpected guest visited him.It was Denise Egor, who was the face of the pharmaceutical industry around the world itself.She brought a bouquet that had both white and black flowers, which Regan didn’t like, but he still accepted it.“Are you feeling okay now, Mr. Regan?” Denise sat down comfortably and observed him.“By God’s grace, I’m doing good now,” Regan said. “Are you here to talk about the drugs I have been taking?”Denise forced out a smile. “You are very clever, sir. You easily figured out the reason I’m here. As expected of someone who’s feared even by the big politicians.”“Well, it’s widely known that I’ve been taking medicine and drugs given by your industry for a while,” Regan said. “So you don’t want me telling the world that the cause for the stroke might have been because of the drugs.”“Since you’ve guessed it, there’s nothing else for me to say,” Denise said. “But just
On the same night that Regan left the hospital, he sent a message to Jessica that he was leaving the hospital. “Already?” Jessica was shocked. “What’s he thinking? What are the doctors doing?” She wondered if she should call the doctors and warn them about Regan’s escape plans. “He should just be in bed for at least a couple of days, but he wants to stress himself some more at work. These old people can be so stubborn. If he gets another stroke, people will really start blaming me.” She already was feeling the heat because many of the company’s workers were already putting the blame on her, saying that she was careless, which really infuriated her. Jessica was currently returning home from an evening church. She didn’t stay there for long but only for fifteen minutes. She had to visit the church to find some peace, because her work life was getting rough lately and she needed some spiritual support. When she returned to her house, she could hear many voices coming from inside. Amon
When Regan came to his office in the middle of the night, he saw Liam waiting inside. It almost gave him a heart attack for a second.“W-What the hell are you doing here?” Regan quickly asked, raising his walking stick, just to fight if necessary.“I’m waiting for you,” Liam got up and offered a handshake.“Waiting for me?” There was nobody outside, so Regan couldn’t help but wonder just for how long Liam had been waiting for him. “How the heck did you know that I was coming? Nobody knew other than myself.”Liam smiled. “I know me enough, so obviously, I also know my rival just enough.”“That’s the most contrived logic I’ve heard in a while,” Regan remarked.“Haha,” Liam laughed out loud. It looked more like a stress reliever than him enjoying his own joke.“Normally, I can guess when someone comes to meet me,” Regan uttered. “But now, I can’t guess why you’re here, even though you are my rival.”“I’m not here to talk about the Payseur family.”“Oh…” Regan looked a little surprised. “
The next morning.Denise sent many doctors to go and advise Regan on his health condition, hoping he’d listen to them even though he didn’t listen to her.Regan, however, did not give time to any doctor, even if they were ones from his own hospital.With the hacking system, he hacked the mobiles of these doctors and realized that Denise was working behind the scenes. He felt angry when she said the words ‘Regan lost faith in our medicine industry, but we have to make him our repeat customer again.’What shocked him even more was that some of the doctors working under him, taking his money as salary, were actually listening to Denise’s words. She didn’t even need to hypnotize them because they were all in on it. They were willing to fuck Regan up as if it was a very normal thing to do.“Treating patients as repeat customers…” Regan was so frustrated he called the cleaner and made her take out all the drugs from his office and throw them in the trash. He turned his office drug-free.And
