The Ultimate Revenge System 48. Attempting Murder
"Reminds me of someone," I muttered."Is that someone, Bash?""That's right... even though I don't have what he has.""Sometimes, people who have it all often feel like they never have enough..." Anne commented, her gaze distant.For some reason, her words felt like a jab at me, but I chose not to turn this day sour again."Have you done enough shopping? Where do you want to go next? I'll accompany you.""Mm, that's enough. We should head back."I nodded and asked the store attendant to take our purchases to the car; then, we returned to the mansion.Anne sat in the backseat again, quieter than usual. Given what I did to her earlier, I understood. Silently, I cursed my foolishness for not thinking things through.On the bridge over the flowing Thanes River, a car suddenly sped past from the left side, catching me by surprise. The car aligned itself with mine. By the time I saw the driver, it was already too late.*PHEW*The sound of metal piercing the car's body, bypassing and hitting

KnockKnockI knocked on Anne's bedroom door and waited outside, leaning against the wall. It was 7 pm. She was usually early compared to me. There was no response from inside."Oh, Dan! Anne has been waiting for you in the car for a while," said Dr. Bertha, passing by with a stack of documents in his hand."Hmm, that's odd," I thought, but eventually followed Anne.She was in the driver's seat, which surprised my eyebrows. I didn't comment, taking the initiative to sit in the passenger seat. After ensuring I was seated and the door closed, Anne drove the car at high speed.I didn't dare to speak, not wanting to disturb her concentration. This must be her way of calming herself after my treatment of her earlier today. Anne even avoided looking at me.Even though the car veered off the road a few times and hit the curb, I remained silent. I would stay quiet as long as it didn't endanger anyone else. If possible, I wouldn't breathe either. Anne was terrifying when she was angry!Slowly,
The Ultimate Revenge System 50. Classified Information
[Dexter wants to get rid of the evidence you provided.]The sound of a text message from a colleague in the police department coming to my phone, a colleague who had grown weary of the corruption within her organisation but didn't know how to expose it. My promise to her gave her renewed hope to clean up his institution."Proceed without his knowledge."[Done.]"So quickly?"[Thanks to the device you donated.]"The results?"[Can we discuss it in person?]"Okay, we'll meet at our usual place for lunch."[Okay.]After ending the message, I left the room to head to our meeting place, eager to know the results."Dan!" Anne's voice called me."Oh, hey," I greeted her as I hurriedly walked by."Can't we talk about it? I'm ready to talk," Anne blocked my path, folding her hands before her chest."Later, can we? I'm in a rush," I requested, leaving her behind without waiting for her response.***(P.O.V. ANNE)"My foolish mouth doesn't know its place! How could I say that after he successful
The Ultimate Revenge System 51. Zhar's Dream
'What's happening?! Can you check it?' I panicked, addressing the system as I turned back towards the direction Kara's car had gone.[At Silkroad, kilometre 57, her car is severely damaged and overturned. I can't see Kara's condition due to the obstruction.]"Damn it!" I cursed at the steering wheel.'Find out who did it.'[It's Zhar, and he's waiting for you there.]Furious, I drove at high speed toward Kara's location. If anything happened to her, I wouldn't forgive myself; one more person would die because of their relation to me.'Zhar... I need to get rid of him as soon as possible.'The sound of shattered glass crushed under my tires signalled Zhar's presence as I arrived. He sat casually on a fallen log that he had knocked down. Beneath that fallen tree was Kara's car. She remained in the driver's seat, her head lolling to the side. Her condition was unclear to me, but her face was smeared with blood."Kara!! Can you hear me? Hold on a little longer; I'll help you!" I shouted a

"Gushton, help me send those corps back to where they came from."[Send me their current coordinates.]I ended the call and sent the location details of the recent battlefield. Then, I called him again.[Hey, what's up?]"You handle them for me; add some ‘Extra’ decorations for Bash. I trust your creativity in making your work dramatic."[Oh, buddy, leave it to me. I'll make sure to add some ribbons, too.]"Nice."With a smile on my lips, I ended the call. I glanced at Kara, who was attended to by doctors and nurses. They said her wounds weren't deep, and her life wasn't in danger. Her shoulder had dislocated due to the pressure of the log wood.‘I need to get rid of this adrenaline rush from my system. I'm afraid I might unintentionally hurt someone,’ I commanded the system.[Uninstall black belt martial arts skills from the host's body.]I felt the overwhelming energy gradually fading away, along with my urge to punch anything in front of me.[Uninstall successful.]I examined the d

BLOOD FOR BLOOD.Those words were written on Zhar's forehead using his own blood."SHIT!" Bash cursed, instinctively pushing the box off the table to the floor."Oh no..." Margareth whimpered, covering her mouth in shock at the inhumane sight before her.Meanwhile, Dexter called one of his colleagues in the police force. "Find the courier who entered this office earlier!" Dexter ordered urgently."Do you suspect the same person? I never thought he could do this..." Margareth guessed."Actually, it's good. We can use this against him," Dexter grinned, videotaping the box to instruct his subordinates to investigate.Just as he finished speaking, a message came in on their phones. It contained a video link showing the fight between Rupert and a voice recording of Bash instructing that he should be killed."You know what's going to happen; there's an action, and there's a reaction. If you dare to investigate this case, I can easily say I'm defending myself. Have a nice day!" Rupert messag

“Hmph!” they protested as federal agents apprehended them.The shouts from the crowd outside grew louder, and they were brought by running to the building's lobby through the elevator. But before that, their mouths were forcibly uncovered in the elevator."Elliot! You can't do this to me!" Margareth protested when her mouth was uncovered, shaking her head in disbelief. She didn't want to be spotlighted by hundreds of cameras in such an embarrassing situation. She really didn't want to!"Would you prefer to join Tom instead?" Elliot challenged, knowing full well that this old woman was deathly afraid of dying, very scared to leave her world of comfort.Indeed, Margareth shrank back, unable to deny it any longer. Elliot looked at them one by one, sharp in his gaze."Be patient. If you don't protest too much, I'll help you quietly. It may never be the same as before, but it's better than dying. Because if not, nothing can be saved from Dustown, and all your business lines will be in chao
The Ultimate Revenge System 55. Change of Events
"Care to tell me why you're taking me?" I asked the commander."You are suspected of being involved in a murder and terror case.""Terror? Murder? Based on what?""All will be explained to you at the headquarters. You have the right to remain silent; anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you," declared the commander."Honey!" Anne shouted, upset when the police were about to take me. The commander held her back."Keep your hands off, my wife, commander," I said threateningly."Or what?" the commander taunted."Or you can be charged with harassment and trespassing. I'll willingly come along as long as you don't disturb my family. If I wanted to, I could request a warrant, but not, right? I don't want to inconvenience you," I replied with a false wide smile."I have a feeling that you're not as you appear to be on the surface. You're something... scary," commented the commander wi

"Nobody move unless you want this bullet to pierce through this old man's skull!" Gatsby ordered, aiming the barrel of his pistol at the president's temple. The head of state instructed his men to comply with Gatsby's command."The four of you, follow me," Gatsby pointed at me, Elliot, Helen, and Kellan.Gatsby entered the City Hall and proceeded upstairs to Elliot's office, dragging the defenseless president along. Elliot grinned with satisfaction at the chaos caused by Gatsby. He knew he had been branded as a terrorist, especially since the one he was holding hostage was the president.He wouldn't live long after this, but he didn't want to fall alone. There had to be someone dragged along with him, someone responsible for his downfall, something he had fought for for years.That someone was Rupert, aka Danzel, and Helen Harrington, the siblings.Upon arriving at Elliot's room, Gatsby forced the president to sit in Elliot's desk chair, while Elliot gestured for me, Helen, and Kellan

Elliot never received any news about Alex's attack on Dustown Prison, nor did he want to inquire. His attention was occupied by the preparations for the President's visit, just a day away.As long as he didn't receive any notice from his aides regarding Dustown Prison, he would assume everything was fine. If there were even a hint of news about Dustown Prison, he'd be sure to know. But since Alex's request back then, there hadn't been any further requests. The atmosphere was completely calm without any issues. Elliot figured Alex might have backed off from attacking Dustown Prison knowing he was preoccupied with many matters."Kellan, have you found out who that mysterious donor is?" Elliot asked his secretary, having replaced his previous one because Sonia didn't approve.Kellan, his current secretary, shook his head. "No, Sir. He's truly mysterious. What should we do? He specifically requested to sit next to you. Should we still accommodate that request? Especially now that there's

Elliot's eyes widened as he discovered Rupert's hiding place. He chuckled dismissively, 'No wonder the police never found him all this time,' he thought. Then he recalled Erwin's presence, the young man who remained closed off and impenetrable to him. The only employee under his command whom he couldn't control. Yet, due to his good performance, he couldn't just dismiss him. 'Besides, he's not in a critical sector,' he reasoned, choosing to overlook Erwin, but his judgment back then was wrong. Unbeknownst to him, Erwin had been forging alliances there, a fact that escaped his notice. *** "[Elliot has discovered your connection with Erwin; he and Alex plan to attack Dustown Prison tonight,]" reported the system. "Anne is still in critical condition. Do something to prevent them from coming here tonight," I pleaded with the system. The doctors finished observing Anne, and she was moved to a treatment room, almost her entire body wrapped in bandages. The doctor also mentioned the res

Erwin drove us straight to Dustown Prison. Anne was still unconscious, and I supported her head in the back seat. Her condition was truly alarming, I couldn't bear to hold her body, afraid she'd feel more pain. Erwin called Ralph and ordered him to prepare competent doctors at the prison. Every second felt like a crossroads for me, constantly monitoring Anne's chest to ensure she was still breathing. I held my breath with every long inhale she took, trying to manage her pain. "Hurry, Er!" I urged Erwin. "Quiet! Don't command me!" Erwin snapped. I knew he was trying to navigate through the traffic in the Dustown city center; for this one, the system couldn't help because the streets were crowded with people, not because of traffic. Erwin repeatedly honked his horn to clear the pedestrians from the road. Several times, he had to brake suddenly as they crossed unexpectedly, truly testing his patience. After being stuck in the traffic jam for a long 30 minutes, our car finally gained s

115. Help is Coming
About fifty people gathered in front of Jackie's Bar, arriving individually with their preferred modes of transportation from various corners of the city—some on motorcycles, skateboards, scooters, bicycles, cars, or by foot.There was no communication among them; they simply glanced at each other to determine if they shared the same purpose, exchanging a code by raising their left palm upwards, a symbol representing their Dandelion Organization, signifying a dandelion stem always seeking the sun.Without the need for lengthy discussions, they collectively entered Jackie's bar. Two formidable guards who had stood at the front door couldn't stop them and were pushed inside.A ceasefire ensued inside between the Dandelion Operation faction and Jackie's henchmen. Witnessing the chaos, Jackie stealthily retreated through the back door, leaving it all to his men. He valued his life too much.He cursed under his breath before calling someone, "You convinced me that he works alone! You said

Hearing the information from the system, I immediately headed to Jackie's place. Night was falling, the streets were getting crowded, and the city was brightened by decorative lights along the roads. Visitors from out of town, eager to witness the carnival in Dustown, flooded the pubs, hotels, and eateries.The city seemed to come alive again with stalls and food trucks lining the streets, creating long queues. It overwhelmed me to drive quickly through the chaos. While people were enjoying themselves, I was lost in thoughts about Anne's fate.*Honk* *Honk*My horn sounded at the drivers who parked recklessly along the street. I was truly impatient, especially with the drunken revelers who were barely conscious as night approached.I almost collided with a group of teenagers crossing the road without looking. I honked loudly, causing them to bang and hit the hood of my car. But I had no time to deal with them.Luckily, after passing the town square, the crowd lessened. I accelerated,

"I paced back and forth in Erwin's office, anxious as I hadn't received any recent updates about Anne. Not from Erwin's informants, nor from the system or Helen. I disliked this feeling, my intuition restless, sensing that Anne wasn't okay.Erwin, engrossed in his book, glanced at me from the corner of his eye, growing irritated as I disrupted his concentration."Tsk! Take one more step, and I'll kick you out," Erwin declared, unable to contain his frustration. His book remained untouched, the pages unturned due to my actions."Do you really have no information?" I asked again, wearing a pleading expression as I approached him."No, if I had any, you'd be the first to know. Now, get out of my space, or I'll have to force you out," Erwin commanded firmly. He was actually waiting for information that hadn't arrived yet. However, he masked it by focusing on more productive matters, unlike me.Right after that, Ralph arrived, carrying a vial bottle filled with thick white liquid. He was s

112. Anne's ill Fate
Alex was furious, howling like a possessed person, ordering his men to search once again, this time more meticulously. Meanwhile, he returned to the room to interrogate Camilla.The woman was far too relaxed about Anne's disappearance, even seeming pleased. Camilla must know something! That's what Alex thought. This time, he was determined to interrogate Camilla until she spoke. He wouldn't hesitate to kill her if she didn't talk."You!" Alex barked, striding quickly across the room toward the startled Camilla, who was taken aback by Alex's sudden rage. She dropped the magazine she was reading and stood up. Alex approached her and immediately grabbed Camilla by the throat, her eyes bulging from the intense pressure on her neck."Tell me where Anne is! I'm not joking around. Your death is in my hands right now," threatened Alex, his eyes bloodshot, his hand muscles bulging as he tightened his grip around Camilla's throat.Camilla knew her chance to play around had ended. She also figur

“You’re delusional. I don't want anything,” answered Camilla, her lips curved into a sweet smile for Anne. Of course, Anne didn't immediately believe her, convincing herself to remain cautious around Camilla.Throughout her life, Camilla had always treated her badly, harboring negative thoughts about her. Initially, Anne had always wanted to understand the reasons behind Camilla's behavior, until she realized it was futile—Camilla's judgment of her was already formed, no matter how hard she tried to show kindness. Camilla remained steadfast and eventually deemed Anne as a mere attention-seeker.Since then, Anne realized she didn't need to waste energy on people who hated her because they would continue to do so. She had to focus on those who loved her, not many in number but sufficient for her.Thinking about it made her heart ache once again; now those people were gone, Pops and Dr. Bertha, whom she considered as her own father figures. Meha, who had been like the elder sister she ne
