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

"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
The Ultimate Revenge System 56. Meha Ramirez
When I found out that Eric had political interests in me, I knew that this interrogation was just a cover to try and get back at me. He would go to any lengths to make amends with me for having eliminated Zhar, his adoptive brother, even if I had acted in self-defence."I can see your pupils dilating; you realise now that I won't let you off easily, right? Forget about your dinner promise; I'll keep your lovely lady waiting. Maybe until she gets bored and considers me as your replacement?" he joked, which wasn't funny at all."Hey, don't use Anne as a subject of your jokes," Bash rebuked.'Hm, I never thought there would come a day when we'd share the same principles.'"Alright, boss," Eric raised his hands as if surrendering. "Let's not bother with the interrogation. Just throw this guy into the most isolated prison here; don't let him see the sun until he breaks and surrenders.""Hey, you can't do this to me! Anne will expose your behaviour if I don't return as promised tonight!" I
The Ultimate Revenge System 57. The Help
[I might not be coming home soon. Don't worry about me, but stay cautious. If I haven't returned, don't go anywhere; they want you, too. Waiting patiently for you to slip.]Anne read Danzel's message, realising the hidden meaning he conveyed. He prohibited her from going anywhere because she was still being watched. Indirectly, he wanted to convey that he meant Dr Bertha. Why was the situation getting more complicated for them?But despite waiting for news from Danzel and receiving his message, it only added to her confusion. If Danzel wouldn't be coming home soon, she suspected they had detained him. It was terribly unfair. They had even celebrated their success earlier, only to discover it was all an illusion.[I'll wait for you,] Anne replied shortly afterwards, unsure if her message would be read or not.She was ready to leave the recreation room, where she had been waiting anxiously for Danzel, walking back and forth. But she heard a faintly familiar notification sound coming fro
The Ultimate Revenge System 58. To Fight Back
"Rupert Anderson? A rising young entrepreneur? Yet I've never heard his name even once," Meha thought while reading the file sent by Danzel.Then she remembered that she shouldn't question the existence of Rupert because she was the turtle in her shell. Perhaps even during an apocalypse, she wouldn't notice, as she was comfortable hiding in her stuffy office. She was the one who had no idea about the political world and power struggles. She only focused on helping the ordinary people who needed her support to hold those in power accountable. Now, she had to stand on the opposite side of the bridge and defend the very people who had been her rivals all this time."Hmm... Danzel knows I won't take the dishonest side, no matter our previous relationship or how much I owe him. I won't compromise my principles. So... does this Rupert guy really have a clean business? Hm, interesting...""Oh, and it gets even more interesting... He's challenging to bring Merrick Corp down? Tsk tsk tsk... a

*Gulp*Geoffrey clutched his pocket, concealing the evidence."You're not polite, Meha, snooping around other people's rooms. Well, if you're handling this case, fine. Besides, unlike you, I have a busy schedule," Geoffrey hastily left the room."Don't forget to return what you received from Merrick, Geoffrey..." Meha taunted casually. Geoffrey looked around, hoping no one else heard Meha's voice."Shut your mouth, Meha, if you don't want to get into trouble.""Can't you come up with a more creative threat? I'm bored of hearing the same words over and over..." Meha pretended to yawn. "If your IQ were the size of your shoe, then please close the door on your way out," Meha's parting remark left Geoffrey speechless."Okay! Where were we? Oh yes, the evidence from the plaintiff?" Meha asked Eric.Eric gazed at his subordinate, who then handed over the results of the forensic investigation. "Here it is, Your Honor."[I've removed Danzel's fingerprints from the database and replaced them w
The Ultimate Revenge System 60. Beautiful Escape
"Is there any pizza left for me?" I popped my head into the kitchen, surprising Anne and Mr. Rocky."Danzel! You're out! Thank God!" Mr. Rocky exclaimed."But... you said you wouldn't be home anytime soon," Anne replied, still in disbelief. I noticed the pizza in front of them remained untouched as if they had lost their appetite. I grabbed a slice and devoured it in a single bite, genuinely hungry from missing lunch. With my mouth full, I answered Anne."I got some help at the prosecutor's office. An old acquaintance.""Well, you're really lucky. You never cease to amaze me.""Sorry for making you worry, but I'm here now. If you guys don't eat your share, I'll devour it all," I joked, which made Mr. Rocky take a big bite of his pizza, and Anne followed suit. The mood in the room lightened a bit with my presence."So, what happened earlier? What were they accusing you of?""Zhar, they found my fingerprints on his body, but it's okay. I have evidence for my defence, so I got released."

"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

118. Chaos
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

114. The Agony
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
