Drake felt a surge of anxiety as Zack, under his Felicia Mendez disguise, acquired a high-level item from the system despite being suspended. The realization that Zack might have someone backing him up, particularly if that someone was also a system user, unsettled him deeply.

"Where did he get those items? He even survived a fall," Drake muttered, his eyes fixed on Felicia as she crawled back up inside the office.

"Do you think you can kill me twice?" Zack(Felicia) growled, the memory of Drake's initial attempt to end him flashing through his mind.

"I think I can," Drake replied bluntly. He stood up and approached Zack, intending to push him off the window again. To his surprise, a bullet narrowly missed him, and his reflexes allowed him to safely roll away.

"Let's go, Lucille," he said, carrying her in his arms, leaving his office to escape the sudden rain of bullets from a gunman in the building across from them.

"Coward! Come back here!" Zack yelled. He was about to run after them

    In the hushed confines of a private hospital, Eleanor gingerly settled into a chair within the doctor's office. A stern-faced female physician stood across from her, diligently explaining something that seemed to elude Eleanor's grasp."There is no way, I am pregnant," she insisted."But you told me that your period had stopped, and you also honestly admitted that you had slept with someone," the female doctor patiently replied.“I did… but… but…”Over the past few days, an overwhelming lethargy and occasional waves of nausea have seized her, sparking worry that her illness has resurfaced. To spare Drake from undue worry, she had opted to face this alone."Your symptoms are indicative of a possible pregnancy. That's why I recommend getting an ultrasound. However, I understand the cost concerns here, so I'll write you a referral. You can avail yourself of a free ultrasound at the public hospital," the doctor gently suggested, her pen gliding over the referral note. Her eyes momentarily

Drake's unexpected reaction had thrown her for a loop, and his words lingered in the air, "It's your body. You decide if you will keep it or let it go."The room fell into an uneasy silence as Eleanor grappled with the complexity of her situation. Lucille, sensing the need for support, gently placed a comforting hand on Eleanor's shoulder."Ely," Lucille began, her voice soft, "this is a decision only you can make. It's important to consider what's best for you, emotionally, physically, and mentally."Eleanor nodded, her mind swirling with conflicting thoughts. The trauma of that night with Zack, the fear of disappointing her brother, and the overwhelming prospect of motherhood weighed heavily on her shoulders.Drake, breaking the silence, spoke with a sincerity that cut through the tension in the room. "I want you to know, Eleanor, that whatever decision you make, I'm here for you. We'll

    Director Marianne paced anxiously back and forth in her dimly lit office, her worry intensifying with each passing moment as she awaited Drake's call."It's already midnight. Why isn't he contacting me?" she grumbled, repeatedly checking her phone as she continued to pace. The events at BellRox over the past day have been extreme, leaving Marianne on edge about Drake's well-being."Felicia Mendez died in a strange manner, and an unknown gunman targeted Drake's office. What kind of dangerous trouble is he in? And why isn't he telling me anything? Don't tell me he's dead too?"Despite her desperate desire to know Drake's current situation, she hesitated to call him, unwilling to appear overly concerned. She still had her pride to maintain, even after he had rejected her feelings."Come on! Call me!" she exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice. "Ah!"She nearly dropped her phone when, all of a sudden, Drake's caller ID appeared on her screen. Clearing her throat, she composed herself

Drake nodded, savoring the moment. "Yes, Ely. I wanted you to have a place where you can stay comfortably during these times, and this is it." Lucille, still grappling with the information, managed to stammer, "You... you named a hotel after her?" Drake chuckled. "Not just any hotel. This is a special place, a sanctuary for us. No harm will come to you here." “When did you prepare this?” Eleanor asked, her astonishment palpable. “Hmm, around a month ago. This was intended for your birthday, but circumstances required it now,” he replied, a hint of regret in his voice. “Where did you get the money for this?” Eleanor asked, her disbelief lingering as she tried to fathom the luxurious reality unfolding before her eyes. “My investments have been fruitful, Ely. You just have to trust me, and you'll live a carefree life,”

    Drake's eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of Natasha Ling. She bore an uncanny resemblance to his former maid, Aunt Ling, someone he hadn't expected to encounter."Is this some kind of déjà vu?" he mused, attempting to comprehend the unexpected connection."Aunt? I don't have a nephew, though," Natasha Ling stated, confusion evident on her face."I'm sorry, but you remind me of someone I used to know." Drake stumbled, trying to gather his thoughts.Natasha Ling gave him a puzzled look. "I see. Well, Mr. Chwe, could you please take a seat? How may I assist you today?"Drake's suspicions nagged at him, yet he masked his unease with a professional demeanor. "I've been looking forward to discussing potential collaborations between our companies. Your agency comes highly recommended."Throughout the meeting, Drake found it increasingly challenging to dismiss the striking resemblance between Natasha Ling and his former maid. Her mannerisms, the subtle inflections in her voice—each deta

    Drake continued walking, fully aware of the persistent presence trailing behind him. His senses, heightened by the expensive potion he regularly consumed, detected the subtle movements of his pursuer.“Why is she sending someone to follow me after firmly denying the system?” he mused.Instead of hastening his pace or glancing over his shoulder, Drake calmly navigated through labyrinthine alleys until he reached a secluded street cloaked in the eerie afternoon shadows cast by towering buildings. It was the perfect setting for a confrontation.“I'm glad I've been working out,” he muttered to himself.Turning into the desolate alley, a sly smile touched his face. The mysterious follower hesitated but followed him into the shadows.“Gotcha!”Drake whirled around abruptly, facing the pursuer who stepped into the secluded area with a concealed face. Unable to recognize the three men, Drake's eyes narrowed."Too bad I don't care what your purpose is," he remarked, his voice devoid of fear. "

    Drake's suspicion only intensified as Natasha remained silent, unfazed by his inquiries. Despite his probing questions, she chose to keep quiet, sitting calmly within the confines of the prison.“Really… who are you?”He observed her, noting her composed demeanor, which only fueled his doubts. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Natasha than she was letting on.As the minutes ticked by in the oppressive silence of the prison, his mind raced with suspicions.He glanced around at the other prisoners, each carrying an air of despair. They seemed resigned to their fate, accepting the grim reality of their situation.Drake's thoughts lingered on Natasha, puzzled by her nonchalance amidst the dire circumstances. Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he leaned closer to her cell, his voice lowering to a hushed tone. "Hey, why are you so calm? How do you know so much about this place and its workings?"Natasha met his gaze with a steady look but offered no response. Her

    Drake plummeted through the darkness, his heart racing as the air rushed past him. The descent seemed endless, and the realization that he hadn't considered the height of the ceiling hit him like a ton of bricks. Panic fueled his descent, and he flailed through the air, desperately trying to find something to grab onto. Just as the terror threatened to overwhelm him, he crashed through a wooden platform. The impact wasn't as harsh as he expected, and he found himself in a dimly lit room, surrounded by crates and barrels. “Ugh! I didn't sign up for this!” Drake groaned, feeling aches and pains from the fall, but relief washed over him—he was alive. As he took in his surroundings, Drake noticed a group of people huddled in a corner, engaged in an intense discussion. They looked oblivious to his sudden entrance, their attention absorbed in a makeshift map spread out on the floor. "Are you here to join?" a voice hissed from the shadows, making Drake jump. He turned to see a wiry figur

Glancing at the caller's ID, he recognized his sister Eleanor's number. With a resigned sigh, he answered the call."Hey, Ely," Drake greeted, attempting to sound nonchalant despite his apprehension."Drake, where are you?!"

    Drake was shocked to learn the truth, his jaws dropping even further when Lucille revealed that he needed to repay the tribute system twofold."Earning sextillion coins is impossible!" he exclaimed."You have to offer it back, or else you'll spend your life paying for it," Lucille replied grimly, exaggerating the explanation to divert Drake's attention away from herself."Damn it. Is this why I can't kill Zack? He cannot die until he pays his debt," Drake said frustratingly, but then he smiled viciously. "But does that mean I can keep him in prison to suffer?""He doesn't change. Good luck," Lucille muttered under her breath, slowly becoming accustomed to Drake's viciousness."What is it?" Drake asked."Nothing. I was just wondering why you came here," she bluntly asked, inwardly worried about the chance of Drake hurting her."What else? To pick you up?" Drake said, grabbing Lucille's hand and looking into her eyes with sincerity. "Lucille, please believe me, what Marianne said was al

There's nothing above your head yet," the female said, her tone cautious and discreet. “I got the ability to see other users status and progress. You're still fresh. Save yourself!”"What? I don't belong here. Do you know the exit?" Lucille asked, sensing no hostility from the girl."Go up instead of down," the girl replied honestly."Really? But why aren't you leaving?"

Damn your luck!" Zack White growled in frustration, his anger palpable as he longed to inflict harm upon Lucille.He yelled and pounded on the barrier as if he desired nothing more than to tear Lucille apart, but what frustrated him even more was the nonchalant expression on Lucille's face."Do you think you'll escape me for imprisoning me for three years? I'll torture you every second of the day!" he threatened."So foolish," Lucille commented, further

As long as Lucille wasn't there, Drake's focus remained undeterred."Where the hell are you?" he muttered exasperatedly to himself, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he reached the final room at the end of the underground complex. Taking a deep breath, he swung open the door, only for his eyes to widen in shock at the sight of his lover bound by chains."Lucille!" he exclaimed, rushing forward to free her, but his efforts proved futile."Drake, long time no see," Lucille greeted casually, her gaze devoid of emotion as if she had just woken up from a nap."Hang on a little longer. I'll free you soon," he promised, frantically rummaging through his bag for any tool that might help, but none did the trick."Damn it!" he cursed in frustration, realizing he couldn't access his trusted system in a time of

    Zack sported a victorious grin, his eyes locked onto Drake with the same intensity Drake once aimed at him from within the torture cell. His lips curled as he relished the sweet taste of turning the tables."It'll be better if we suffer together. You know, I didn't plan to torment you for just three years," Zack said, closing the distance between them. "Let's make it forever," he whispered, his voice dripping with menace.His grin widened as he observed Drake's expression darken. However, standing closer to Drake proved to be a mistake."Oh, damn it," Zack cursed, blood bubbling up as he collapsed to the ground."All talk, huh?" Drake snorted, a twisted smirk forming on his lips as he pressed his foot onto Zack's face. "Your only shot at survival was staying locked away. Why set yourself free?""What's happening?" Zack grunted in agony, attempting to extract the knife lodged in his side, but it remained stubbornly embedded in his flesh."Can't you recognize these?" Drake sneered, with

    Thanks to Merlyn, Drake finally learned where Lucille had been taken. He instructed Merlyn to locate her using his device, unaware that she would succumb to a heart attack afterward, much like the way he deceived and threatened Natasha into her demise."Code blue! Code blue! Room 203!" a nurse frantically announced.Medical staff rushed to Merlyn Spenser's side, the monitor next to her bed blaring with the alarming sound of a code blue. Doctors and nurses swarmed into the room, their faces etched with urgency as they converged around Merlyn's bed. The room was filled with the sound of rapid footsteps and the clatter of medical equipment."Goodbye, Merlyn. Thank you for your help," Drake coldly muttered as he casually walked out of the ICU, a strange sense of satisfaction washing over him."Why Canman, though?" he wondered, glancing at the address Merlyn had provided. "This doesn't sound good."He immediately hopped into his car and drove to Canman, Zack White’s hometown. Arriving the

    When faced with a choice between life and death, the decision might seem obvious to most. Yet, Lucille Bmak's response was anything but expected. Though she typically valued her own survival above all else, this time she made a different choice."F*ck you!" Lucille spat defiantly, refusing to entertain whatever offer Zack White had in store. Having fallen into Drake's traps before, she was adamant about not allowing herself to be ensnared by another chain, even if it meant facing death."This is the last time I'm asking you. Listen to me, or—" Zack seethed, tightening his grip around her neck."I don't care! Kill me!" Lucille exclaimed, though her body trembled with fear. Summoning a forced smile, she added, "You've repeated yourself three times now. You sound like the one who needs me.""Who needs who?" Zack White yelled, his fury palpable. Despite his rage, he found himself unable to carry out Lucille's demise.Rebecca, the veteran user of the system, who had once bestowed favors up

    Inside Lucille's house, the dimly lit corridors exuded an eerie aura as Zack White prowled through them, his presence ominous and foreboding. His eyes gleamed with a dark resolve as he approached Lucille's study, his heart pulsing with venomous intent."Finally... the moment I've been waiting for," he whispered to himself. He tried to be as quiet as possible so that no one could detect him."I'll kill you once I'm done with my task," he murmured, his voice low and menacing. Despite the vigilant guards stationed at every corner of Lucille's house, Zack's movements remained undetected. He used a system device to camouflage himself through the guards.Peering into the study, he observed Lucille seated at her desk, completely absorbed in her work, unaware of his presence. Zack's lips curled into a sneer as he watched her, memories of past torment flooding his mind."You thought you could hide from me, Lucille. But I always find my prey," he hissed, his voice dripping with malice. "How dar
