Evan watched in silent as the figure slowly stepped into the limelight of everyone. And as though bewitched, they all fell into great silence and only their ways moved, in accordance to the person."Lance!" One of them said in a whisper and as though that was a wake-up call. Everyone's eyes snapped open as they jolted to their feet in awe!"Yes! I knew he would participate in this tournament! Ah, las! There will be no one who can win over the king's spot!" They screamed hysterically.Lance Oax, is one of the most powerful and yet best warriors in the Silver Starr clan. They are well known for their grooming of talents in martial arts, and when it comes to the sword aspect, there was only one man's name dancing in everyone's tongues.Lance Oax! "Now dear audience, we will proceed to the next stage!" The host said in a high tone as his left hand pointed towards another ring, where there were two entrances."The screen will rank all the participants according to their previous battles..
" 100 people out of the ring! We are left with 900! Oh! Another 100s has been eliminated!" The host's voice pierced through the air, meddling with the excitement from the crowd. "The battle is on fire!! Everyone's on edge and nobody is to be trusted. And there goes another person! " The host continued in a high pitch tone as his eyes stared fixedly at the scene ahead.Evan stared at the battle that was going on and the removed he gave and fixed it on the mid-tier people. He had noticed something strange ever since they got out to the podium." Why didn't the host announce their family names? " Evan muttered to himself and the person beside him, stopped screaming and glanced at him as though he was asking a stupid question. Evan of course didn't notice the strange stare sent by this person to him, because all his attention was on the match that was playing before him. "Are you new here?" The man asked as he couldn't contain his curiosity anymore. He had wanted to ridicule Evan for h
Ah!A loud crash sounded in the empty street as a body rolled over to the side hitting a trash can in the process. A loud grunt escaped from the person's lips and soon after the sound of steady footsteps echoed. Frightened by the sound, the man's eyes widened in horror as his body trembled in fear. "I am so sorry! I shouldn't have been so greedy!" The man begged for his life but deep down he knew that his fate was already sealed and that he wasn't going to get away from this theft... or ambushed.It turned out that he belonged to a small gang that was against the wealthy people, and all they had in mind was to steal any fine materials worn, or owned by anyone their eyes set on. This Ill practice has been going on for a while but it was just so unfortunate that they get to meet Evan. Evan stared at the man before him with a blank expression on his face and when the man saw that his pleds didn't move Evan at all, he dropped to the floor with sweat all over his body. His eyes trailed
Far away in Venton City, a magnificent building stood fixedly in the middle of a vast vegetable landscape. The compound was occupied by workers who were busy attending to the flowers and washing the cars. Right at that moment, a taxi came to a stop in front of the gate... the workers who noticed this kept quiet as their brows raised in questions at who would be so daring as to come to the master's mansion at this hour. To answer their questions, the man whom Evan encountered alighted from the taxi all bruised up. He looked around and on seeing the distain look on the workers's faces, he didn't say a word and instead raised his chin high as he started to make his way to the gate. The guards allowed him in and soon after he arrived at the first door leading to the man he came here to visit. Ignoring the glares the worker sent behind him, the man held the knob of the door and walked in without knocking. He wanted to look cool in front of them and give them the idea that they were not
Evan sighed. "There is someone I have to go check out at the auction house."Davis eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Someone… Who?"Evan did not respond but just creased the lines of his forehead like he was deep in thought."What about our plans then? If we go to the auction house, wouldn't that mean we would have to abort our plans to raid the base?" Davis spoke again. Evan still didn't say anything and Davis couldn't help but feel frustrated over his silence. Just what was this man thinking now? He wondered. "Evan! Don't forget that if we miss our chance to raid the base next tomorrow, it would be hard to get another chance to get into the base and save my sister," Davis reminded."It's a military base rumored to experiment on humans. They might already be experimenting on my sister as we speak. We cannot afford to delay this any further!"At his words, Evan finally reacted. He turned to Davis, a turbulence brewing in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on him intently. "Rosetta, a ch
Mister!A tear slipped down her eyes as the figure of the man who once saved her on the verge of death, appeared in her mind. She still couldn't believe that he was in the auction house where she was already placed like an item in front of the hungry eyes of the wealthy people ready to be sold. "No," She shook her head still finding It hard to believe that it was him. Nowadays, people do resembles others and even have their voices. Although should couldn't see who are new master was due to the net on her face, she still hope and wish deep down that it was the man who had saved her. "The owner of the item will have to head backstage to get the item!" The host announced as he wrote down some things and handed it over to his assistant who was behind him. After the assistant received the note from the host, he left the stage with Rosetta and soon after another girl was brought into stage. Her body was much more mature and will developed than the previous girls brought on stage. "The s
"Sir,"Her voice quivered as she called out to him, her body tense with emotion. A single tear spilled from her eye, leaving a glistening trail down her cheek. She tried to hold herself together, but the floodgates were already open, and her tears began to fall like a steady rain. Her shoulders shook with the effort of holding back the sobs that threatened to overtake her. And just as she was still in the middle of her tears, Evan reached forward and held her left arm, and on feeling her skin, he paused and sigh lightly."Do not cry." He said in a serious tone and Rosetta surprisingly stopped crying and glanced at him with red shit eyes. "You should be happy.""What?" She wanted to ask him what he meant but right at that moment her father stepped forward and grabbed Evan's shoulder. He didn't care to find out if the person before him was someone powerful or not, because all that he wanted to find out, was the relationship between his daughter and Evan."What do you think you are do
Evan lets out a heavy sigh, and then makes his way out of the inn, his steps heavy."Umm, is something wrong?" Rosetta asked as he stepped back outside to join her. He shook his head at her in negation."Come on, let's go somewhere else," he said and then led the way back towards his car parked right in front of the inn.They soon arrived at another inn."Go freshen up and change. I will go get you some food."Evan handed a shopping bag to her as he ended his words. The shopping bag contained some clothes they had stopped by at a shopping mall to get for Rosetta on their way to the inn.Evan left the room almost immediately. When he returned she was sitting on the bed drying her hair.Here, eat something," he said as he took out the takeout from the bag he was holding and opened it in front of her, even handing her the spoon.Rosette smiled lightly, and then started to eat. Evan moved towards a chair a few distance away from the bed and sat on it, watching her keenly as she ate."Are
