Epic 57Jasmine and Kyrian stared at the man in disbelief. A chorus of emotions washed over them - relief, confusion, and anger. "Where have you been?" they asked in unison, their voices shaking.The man let out a deep sigh. "It's a long story," he said. "But I'll tell you everything. Just please, let me explain."The room was silent, the only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall. Jasmine and Kyrian looked at each other, both unsure of what to do next. They were desperate for answers, but they weren't sure if they"I have to admit, I had a bit of a memory lapse," Inspector Bami said. "I was rushing to get to you, but I forgot to grab something really important. So I had to go back to Abuja to get it. I'm so sorry for making you worry."Jasmine and Kyrian were still reeling from the shock of seeing him, but they couldn't help but be a little relieved to hear that he had a good reason for disappearing. "Okay," Jasmine said, her voice shaking. "But please tell us what you were
Epic 58It was a dark and stormy night when Inspector Bami set out on his journey to keep the book safe. He had packed a bag full of supplies, and he was determined to make it to his destination without incident. But as he made his way down the dark and winding road, a shadowy figure emerged from the trees. The figure was dressed all in black, with a hooded cloak covering its face. Inspector Bami's heart began to race, and he froze in fear.The figure stepped out of the shadows, and Inspector Bami could see the glint of a knife in its hand. "Give me the book," the figure said in a low, menacing voice. "Or I will take it by force."Inspector Bami was terrified, but he knew he couldn't give in. The book was too important to risk losing. "I won't let you have it," he said, his voice shaking. "I won't let you hurt anyone."The figure laughed a cold and mocking laugh that sent a chill down Inspector Bami's spine. "You're a fool," the figure said. "You can't stop me. I'm much more powerful

Epic 60As she gets closer to the Royal Gardens, she spots Kyrian waiting for her near the entrance. He looks anxious and distracted, and his eyes are bloodshot."What's going on?" Jasmine asks as she approaches him. "You look like you've been through hell."Kyrian takes a deep breath and says, "It's worse than I thought. The MK Group is involved in something much bigger than we could have ever imagined. They're planning to use the data they've collected for something much more nefarious than just building profiles.""They're planning to use the data to manipulate public opinion and control the direction of society," Kyrian says. "It's a full-on conspiracy, and it's terrifying."Jasmine's mouth falls open. "Are you sure?" she asks. "That sounds like something out of a spy movie.""I know it sounds crazy, but I have evidence to back it up," Kyrian says. "And I need your help to stop them."Jasmine feels overwhelmed by the information Kyrian is giving her. She takes a deep breath and sa
Epic 61Inspector Femi had been working relentlessly, just to save Inspector Bami. He took the case upon himself and even dug deeper into the Mk group more than Kyrian and Jasmine had done. He was ready to give up his life just to catch them.Late one night, in one of Inspector Femi's investigations, he found himself on the trail of a building that led him to a desolate warehouse on the outskirts of town.As he cautiously approached the warehouse, he could sense that danger lurked within its walls. Suddenly, a car screeched to a halt behind him, catching him off guard. Before he could react, masked figures emerged from the vehicle and swiftly grabbed him, forcefully throwing him into the backseat.The car sped off into the night, its tyres scorching the pavement as Inspector Femi struggled to break free from his captors. He knew he had stumbled upon something big, something that the MK Group desperately wanted to keep hidden.After what felt like an eternity, the car abruptly came to
Epic 62As they entered the building, the sight before them was shocking. Inspector Bami was lying on the floor, his clothes torn and bloodied. He was barely conscious, and when he saw Kyrian and Femi, he let out a weak groan."What happened?" Kyrian asked, his voice shaking."They... they... took me by surprise..." Bami managed to say before his eyes closed and he slipped into unconsciousness.Femi called for an ambulance, while Kyrian tried to wake Bami up. He could feel his heart racing with fear and anger. He couldn'tKyrian: Hey Jasmine, I just got an update on Inspector Femi.

Epic 63"The man in black who attacked me," Bami said, his voice weak but determined. "I saw him just now, in the hospital. He must still be here, somewhere."Jasmine's face went pale. "Oh my God, Daddy, are you sure?" she asked, her eyes darting around the room in a panic."I'm certain, Jasmine. I'd recognize that face anywhere," Bami said, his voice growing stronger. "We have to get word to Kyrian and the police before it's too late."Moments later, Kyrian burst into the hospital room, his face creased with concern. "What's going on?" he asked, his eyes darting between Bami and Jasmine."It's the man in black, Kyrian," Bami said, his voice full of urgency. "I saw him here, in the hospital. He's still here, somewhere.""Damn," Kyrian muttered under his breath. "We've got to find him before he makes another move."Jasmine interjected. "But how?“”Just give me time to think“. Kyrian mumbled and left the ward.As I anxiously waited in the hospital corridor, my eyes were drawn to a figur

Epic 131As they walked back through the forest, the darkness of the night setting in around them, Jasmine turned to Kyrian and asked softly, "What was your father like?"Kyrian smiled, the memories of his father filling his heart with warmth. "He was everything I could ever hope to be," he said, his voice filled with pride. "He was strong but gentle. He was brave, but kind. He was my hero, my mentor, my best friend."Jasmine nodded, her eyes shining with love and understanding. As they walked through the snow-covered forest, Kyrian turned to Jasmine and said with a mischievous grin, "You know, I think King would love the beach. Maybe we could take him there for his first birthday. We could build sandcastles, swim in the sea, and watch the sunset over the ocean."Jasmine laughed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "That sounds perfect," she said, her voice filled with joy. "And we can take a family photo on the beach, with King laughing and playing in the sand. The days and weeks pas
Epic 130As Kyrian shared the news with his friends and family, his heart swelled with joy and gratitude. He knew that they had been there for him and Jasmine throughout their journey, and he wanted them to be a part of this momentous occasion.Timi, who had always been like a brother to Kyrian, let out a whoop of joy when he heard the news. "Finally, I'm an uncle!" he exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement. "You have to bring little King to the dojo when he's old enough. We'll teach him everything we know. Mr. Bola's response was more measured, but no less sincere. "This is truly wonderful news, Kyrian," he said, his voice filled with pride. "You and Jasmine have been through so much together. It's so good to see you both finally achieving this moment of happiness. I can't wait to meet the little one."As Kyrian spoke with his loved ones, he felt his world expanding, his heart growing larger with every moment.“You know you are the next in line Timi”. My Bola whispered as the
Epic 129As Kyrian and Jasmine thanked Jasmine's father, a sense of relief washed over them, the weight of uncertainty lifted from their shoulders. They rose from the table, their hands still entwined, their hearts filled with joy and anticipation.Outside, the sun was beginning to set, painting the sky with streaks of gold and pink. Kyrian turned to Jasmine, his eyes alight with love. "I have one more thing to ask you, Jasmine," he said, his voice gentle but serious. "Will you marry me?"Jasmine's eyes filled with tears, her heart swelling with happiness and love. "Yes," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the chirping of the birds and the rustle of the leaves. "Yes, I will marry you."Kyrian pulled her into his arms, his lips meeting hers in a kiss that held all the promise of their future. As the sun sank lower in the sky, the two of them stood there, surrounded by the beauty of the world, a world that, at that moment, seemed full of hope and possibility. As the weeks pas
Epic 128Kyrian stared at the metal bars that separated them, the gulf between them so much more than physical. For a long moment, he said nothing, his thoughts racing.Finally, he spoke. "Why?" he asked, the word escaping his lips like a breath of air. "Why did you do it? Why did you betray me? Why did you become what you were?"Ken remained silent, his eyes unreadable, his expression impassive. Then, he spoke, his voice low and resigned. "I have made my choices, Kyrian," he said. "Choices that I cannot undo, choices that have led me here," Ken continued, his voice growing softer, more reflective. "But I want you to know, Kyrian, that I am not without regret. I have done many things in my life, some of them good, some of them bad. But I am not beyond redemption."Kyrian stared at Ken, his heart aching with the weight of the moment. "Then why?" he asked again, his voice shaking slightly. "Why did you turn away from me? Why did you turn away from everything we believed in?" Ken's gaze
Epic 127Kyrian was taken aback by the call, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. "That was Ken," he said, his voice low and tight. "He knows about our plan."Jasmine and Timi's faces paled, the shock of the moment sinking in."How is that possible?" Jasmine asked, her voice trembling slightly. "We haven't told anyone."Kyrian's mind raced, piecing together the fragments of information they had gathered. "He must have someone on the inside," he said, his eyes hardening with determination. "We'll continue to pretend like we're giving up," Jasmine continued, her mind already whirling with ideas. "We'll feed him misinformation, make him think he's winning. But in the meantime, we'll be searching for the leak."Kyrian nodded a fierce determination in his eyes. "We need to be extra careful," he said, his voice grave. "If Ken finds out we're on to him, he'll disappear into thin air, and we'll never get justice for your father. Timi shifted uncomfortably, his mind racing with
Epic 126"Listen," Timi said, breaking the silence, his voice tentative but hopeful. "This has been such a wonderful night. Can't we make it last just a little bit longer?"Jasmine and Kyrian exchanged a glance, their expressions uncertain.Inspector Bami smiled, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "I suppose one more night won't hurt," he said, his voice playful. "I have a couple of spare beds. You're welcome to stay."Timi grinned, relief and excitement filling his face. Kyrian and Jasmine couldn't help but laugh at Timi's eagerness, and the group made their way to the spare rooms, preparing for a night of restful sleep.But as the lights went out and the quiet of the night settled in, Jasmine found herself tossing and turning, unable to shake the unease that had settled in her mind.She couldn't shake the feeling that they were all still in danger, that Ken's threat was still very real and very present. Kyrian, sensing Jasmine's unease, gently reached out and took her hand, his touch
Epic 125For a moment, the three of them sat there in silence, allowing the words to sink in.Outside, the city was asleep, the streets quiet and still, but inside the bar, their world felt alive with possibility and peace.Timi took a sip of his drink, the silence comfortable and warm between them. "I think you're right," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.Jasmine reached for Kyrian's hand, her expression filled with warmth and compassion. The night stretched on, the three of them lingering in the bar as the hours passed.As they sat there, talking and laughing, a sense of gratitude filled the air. They were grateful for each other, for the friendship and support they had found in one another.They were grateful for the moments of joy and laughter, for the tiny miracles of everyday life.And they were grateful for the strength they had found within themselves, for the courage and resilience that had carried them through the darkness and into the light. As the sun began to rise
Epic 124Kyrian nodded, his expression solemn and resolved. "Thank you," he said, his voice heavy with gratitude. "I know this isn't easy for either of you, but I appreciate your understanding."I just need a few more days. If Ken doesn't surrender himself by then, you have my word that I won't stop you from bringing him in."Timi nodded, his expression grim. "Just promise us one thing," he said, his voice filled with concern. "Don't take any unnecessary risks. You've been through enough already."Kyrian nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "I promise," he said, his voice filled with a newfound sense of resolve."Now, if you don't mind, I need to get some fresh air," he said, his eyes flicking towards the door. "I think I could use a walk to clear my head."Timi and Jasmine exchanged a look, a smile passing between them."We'll be here when you get back," Timi said, his voice filled with warmth. Kyrian stepped out into the warm sunshine, the breeze blowing gently
Epic 123Kyrian's brow furrowed, his mind racing as he considered Ken's words. "You're trying to shift the blame away from yourself," he said, his voice low and intense. "You want me to believe that someone else is responsible for all of this chaos and destruction."Ken's expression remained unreadable, his eyes fixed on Kyrian. "I am only telling you what I know," he said, his voice calm and even. "I am not the only person in this world who is capable of causing harm."Kyrian's expression hardened, his voice filled with determination. Kyrian's words dripped with bitterness and sarcasm as he glared at Ken. "As it stands now, you're the only one who seems capable of causing harm in this world," he spat. "You've done nothing but bring pain and destruction to the people around you."Ken's expression grew colder, his eyes dark and unfeeling. "And what would you have me do?" he demanded. "What would you have me say to make you believe that I am not the monster you think I am?"Kyrian shook
