Jeremy sat on the bed in his room, feeling a mix of excitement and disappointment. He had hoped Flynn would be more interested in what he was telling him about the time machine, but it appears that even his brother whom he had so much respected in matters of machines and technology, still didn't believe in the possibility of a time machine.But he was also eager to prove him wrong. He pulled out his notebook and began jotting down everything he had learned about the time machine, his thoughts racing as he planned for the next day's meeting.Going to the garage where he had been secretly working on his own time machine, he decided to put a few things in order, after seeing exactly how Serpens's father had designed his. After a while of trying to fix the problem within his own time machine, his mind suddenly fell to a book about machines and artificial intelligence. It was the exact book jr needed to modify the few things that needed modification within the time machine."Where could t
"Alright, let's just hope for the best," Serpens said as he dropped the call with Jeremy who had just told him the outcome of his meeting with Flynn. However, Jeremy was careful not to tell him about the document he had seen in Flynn's until he was sure that indeed, Flynn was planning something quite dangerous with Jack Brynner.Turning to his back, after he had dropped the call, he saw Tiara right behind him right there in the middle of the room, her presence both surprising and unsettling. Startled, he stepped back, looking directly at her. "Tiara? What are you doing here? How did you get in and how did you know I was here?"Tiara couldn't help but smile, a knowing look in her eyes. "I've been following you for some time now, Serpens. I know about the time machine, and I know everything that's happening."Serpens heart pounded in his chest as he listened to Tiara speak, reminding him of the bad old days from where he had come from, where Tiara had left him for Yul Brynner. "What d
Lan paced anxiously in the living room, waiting for her mother to return. After her meeting with Tiara that night, she couldn't help but see some elements of truth in her accusations.The house was eerily quiet, amplifying the tension that hung in the air. She had spent the entire evening wrestling with her thoughts, the revelation about her mother’s possible relationship with Jack Brynner gnawing at her.Her moon seemed to be going out very often and she knew quite well that she was going out on dates. Afterall, her mom was still young and beautiful, so it wasn't a surprise to her that men will still be chasing after her but the thought of her going out with Jack Brynner really didn't sit well with her.She had never really liked Jack as a person. She always saw him as a dishonest person who was only after his own selfish interests. His companies were always the target for one crime or the other and for one reason or the other, he always manages to get away with all the accusations.
"How's your research with Winter going?" Jack asked Flynn as they both came out of his office walking towards his car after the meeting with the stakeholders of the new project he was about launching."Fine sir, I just need to carry out a few more tests, then the serum will be ready. The SFX-chip and the serum should be ready for final activation by the end of the week." Flynn replied."Good! I think I'll have to go with you to the laboratory. It's time to pay Winter a surprise visit." Jack said, a sly smile tugged at the corners of his lips."Alright sir," Flynn replied, opening the door of the car for him to enter inside.The drive to the laboratory was a quick one that in no time, they were already there.As Jack made his entrance into the high-tech laboratory, he was fascinated with what he saw. It's been over a month since he visited the place and the last time he visited, not much progress has been made in the design of his dragonic creatures which he planned to use to write his
Jeremy lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, his mind racing as he thought about what kind of trouble Flynn was getting himself into. He had gone through the document which he found amongst his stuff earlier.He couldn't imagine what sort of evil Jack Brynner was planning to launch high tech built dragonic creatures into the world just so he could write his name in the sands of time.Feeling a knot of anxiety tightening in his stomach, he dialed Serpens number, having heard him talk about dragons and also being the only friend he had in Draketwon who doesn't bully him.As the phone rang, he glanced nervously around his room, the document clutched tightly in his hand. Finally, the call connected."Hello?" Serpens answered, surprised to receive a call from Jeremy."Hi, it's me," Jeremy said, trying to keep his voice steady."Yes, Jeremy, Why'd you call?" Serpens inquired."I, uh, found something. Something important." Jeremy replied, a slow breath exhaling out his nostrils."What's tha
Serpens arrived home to find Xin waiting for him, pacing back and forth with a mix of anticipation and concern. As soon as he stepped through the door, she rushed to him, wrapping him in a warm hug.Serpens couldn't hide his surprise as Xin took solace in the warmth of his body. He too, instinctively, wrapped his own arms around her and they remained there for a couple of seconds before pulling away."How did the meeting with the kid scientist go?" she asked, pulling back to look into his eyes.Serpens sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It went... well, but also brought more concerns. I'm afraid there's alot going on on this timeline than meet the eye." "What do you mean by that?" Xin inquired, her curiosity piqued."Jeremy showed me a document he found in his brother's room. It turns out his brother is not just working for Jack Brynner, he is a pioneer in one of the deadliest inventions the world has ever known. Xin furrowed a brow, "What is that?""It has to do with what I
The traffic that morning didn't smile at Xin as she made her way to the Brynner's group building in town. Even if she wasn't sure what to expect, she knew she had to at least try.She had stayed up at the computer all night working on her resume. As an expert in computers, she was able to successfully craft out a compelling resume and had been able to create a profile of herself on the internet as a proof of what she claims to be able to do."Please be careful," Serpens had said to her that morning, placing a hand on her cheeks and caressing them gently.They've become closer than they used to be and the past few days have been overwhelming for her. She'd continue to imagine herself as his girlfriend, sharing romantic moments together. Oftentimes, she'd try to shake off the feelings but it seemed as though Serpens was feeling the same way for her too.He'd call her often to check up on her when he's out and would always kiss her forehead before saying goodnight to her."I will," she h
"Good morning. Please, have a seat," Jack said, gesturing to the chair opposite his desk."Good morning, Mr. Brynner. Thank you for seeing me on such short notice," Xin said as she took a seat. She could still hear her heart pound wondering what exactly Mr Brynner was thinking, from the way he kept staring at her."You're Lola Lee, you said," Jack said placing his hand in his chin, still trying to find out what the beautiful lady in front of him was up to."Yes sir, my name is Lola Lee," Xin replied, maintaining her professional demeanor."So, Miss Lee, to what do I owe this your unscheduled appointment?" Jack asked, his own professionalism appearing top-notch before Xin.Even if Jack was kind of a ruthless business man who only thinks about himself and what he stands to gain, Xin couldn't help but admire his professional work and business ethics.From the way the office was neatly arranged, down to the floor coverings, and everything that she saw within the office, she could attest
