Back in Santos City ~The sounds of heels resonated in the empty hallway of the 18 floor and soon after a soft hume could be heard playing on the background. “Ra ta ta," Williams's voice echoed in the hallway and soon after he came to a stop in front of the only door available in the long hallway.His left hand streched forward as he knocked softly on the door. After he did that, he went silent and took a step back as he waited for the person inside to grant him the permission to walk in. “Come in," Evan's calm voice sounded from the office and without hesitation, William held the knob of the door and twisted it as he made his way inside the office. As soon as he walked inside the room, a fresh scent of roses drifted into his nostrils and he couldn't help but look around to see where the scent was coming from. And it didn't take long before he saw a brown vase at one of the drawers in the room. His brows furrowed slightly as he glanced at the flowers inside the vase.‘That is new,’
“What is it? Why is your face like that?" William asked as he stepped aside as Claus walked out of the elevator heading towards Evan's office.“It's nothing." Claus coldly replied as he stormed towards Evan's office. No one knew what was in his mind but William knew at that moment that something bad must have happened for Claus to react that way. “I will find out what it is later," He muttered as he got inside the elevator and pressed the ‘17’th button. He gazed at Claus's back and watched as he opened the door and walked inside the quiet office. His attention was removed from there as the elevator's door shut itself.Meanwhile, after he walked inside Evan's office. Claus hurriedly walked towards Evan as an anxious expression washed over his face. “What is it?" Evan asked and Claus took out his tab and placed it on the table before Evan. Evan's gaze hardened as his eyes went through the article before him and after seeing what it was, he leaned back and gazed at the white ceiling
“What?" Mrs. Bertha's eyes widened in horror as she rushed towards Claus with those expressions on her face. “What did you just say happened to my daughter?!" She screamed frantically as she held him by his collar and pulled him towards her. “She's in critical condition, ma'am, “ Claus replied and the spirit in Mrs. Bertha's eyes disappeared as her hands slowly left his collars. She slowly moved away from Claus and turned towards Evan. All the emotions deep inside her reflected in her eyes and Evan knew at once what she wanted to say. “Claus, where is she at the moment?" He asked and Claus's gaze moved from Mrs. Bertha went to Evan. " She was admitted to a hospital, sir, “ Claus replied and Evan gazed at him calmly. “Remove her from there. Ask one of the doctors in the hospital to take care of her medication," Evan ordered and Claus nodded.After receiving the order, he took out his phone and dialed a number and at the same time left the place. Evan watched him leave the room
“Vera?" Evan's lips parted slightly the instant the words sounded in the room. He slowly turned towards her direction and the expression on his face said that he wasn't expecting her to arrive in the city so soon. “When did you return?" Evan asked as he hasn't been to his mansion for 2 days now. He was so occupied taking care of the problems in the company that he failed to visit home and take care of himself. Maybe she returned an hour ago? Or perhaps two days ago?Or was he wrong?Vera's lips parted slightly to speak but on seeing Evan's face, she smiled and walked towards him with an unknown intention. “I arrived a day ago…” She smiled and gazed at him with a calm expression on her face. Evan stared at her for a while then spread his arms wide for her to hug him. Vera on seeing this rushed forward and fell into his embrace. Everywhere went still as the two engulfed themselves In each other's embrace. Vera rubbed her face on his warm clothes as her nostrils moved slightly to I
“... A!"“.. Ra!"“Vera!" Vera's eyes snapped open as she felt drawn to reality by a familiar voice. She looked around to see where she was, but was stunned to see herself on the floor beside Evan's office door.“What happened to me?" She frowned as she tried to get up but noticed that her legs weren't responding to her.She was just about to stand up again when a strong pair of arms held her from moving. She frowned and was about to complain when she realized that it was Evan that held her. “Is everything okay, Vera? You passed out," Evan asked softly, but one could hear the worry in his voice. Vera stared at him blankly but after she realized what he said, she gazed down at her leg and sighed lightly.Her shoulders felt numb and she could feel the throbbing pain attempting to tear her head apart. “I saw… a light,” She frowned as she felt something was wrong. This felt like a deja Vu almost as though it has happened before. Yes, she had experienced something like this back home
“Welcome, welcome to Santos City,haha!" Edward excused himself from his ‘ guest ‘ as he strode towards the newly arrived guest in the room. He stepped toward and made a handshake in which Atalion gladly accepted with a smile on his face. “I thank you for the invite and hope the event goes well. It was so unfortunate that the others couldn't make it here," Atalion said in a respectful tone and Edward's left hand waved in the air as an indication that he didn't take it to heart." It doesn't matter how many if the guest I invited here…it just matters on who accepted the invitation,” He smiled and Atalion nodded in understanding.“I hope that I am not too late?" Atalion asked after a short laugh and Edward shook his head, then said." Your timing is perfect,” He replied. " Please come with me as I introduce you to my people. Your journey to this place must have caused a lot. If you know what I mean,” " Ah…Do not worry too much about it. Everything has been taken care of," Atalion repl
Silence fell inside the hall as everyone stared at the image before them. It wasn't just any image…it was something that can change the future if Santos City.“Seeing how hight the crime rate is in the city. I have decided to join hands with our friendly city and make sure that the people in Santos City are safe. Please allow me to introduce Atalion Asverd, the leader of Venton City. The number one city who is known for their military, economical and security. They are the one we are making pathnership with," Edward introduced as he stepped aside for Atalion to walk on the stage and present himself to the people in the hall.Atalion who had a blank expression on his face made his way to the mic and stood before the people with a sharp and clear eyes. " I thank everyone for accepting the invite and wishing well the success of this cooperation. Your loyalty will never be forgotten by us and the city. We will make sure that none of your generations as from now on lacks anything.” Atalio
Before they could move forward and attack whoever their target was. Ezra stepped out of the shadows with her daggers in hand. She neither made any noise nor attacked them on stepping out.She wouldn't afford to get caught in such position. And what if this people was the guards of one of the powerhouses inside that room?She didn't say a word and instead moved behind them with the dagger in hand. She glanced at the two guards on the floor who were unconscious, probably dead.“Let's kill the one with the curly grey hair and the one with dark hair. After we are done with that let's escape the premises," The one who appeared to be the leader said and his minors nodded in agreement.He took out his sword and started to make his way towards the back entrance of the building. But before they could get inside, the leader stopped as though he felt something.Like they were being watched. After a few beats of silence, he clenched his sword tightly as he turned sharply towards the place he felt
