Eleanor squinted her eyes, crossed her arms, and wondered why she was having a conversation with someone she barely knew.

"Are you a child?" she grunted.

"No. But you'll feel better if we do, right?" Zack grinned.

"I'll feel better?" she repeated.

"Yes. Don't be like your brother," he said.

"What about my brother?"

"He's weak. He simply leaves those who berate him without fighting back. I can feel that you're a bit different. I know you feel like grabbing their hair or smashing their faces every time they look down on you," Zack reasoned.

Eleanor sort of agreed with what Zack said. She really did feel like pulling the hair of the staff who were too unapproachable and condescending to her today, but even if she wanted to, she couldn't do that. She didn't want to cause any trouble for her brother.

"Forget it," she said. "But if you're saying that to comfort me, then thanks."

"Nah. I am not comforting you, though," he said.

"Then stop bothering me."

Eleanor walked away, but Zack kept fol

    A few moments before Eleanor returned to Drake's ward, Drake asked the nurse to call Lucille on his phone. The nurse held the phone for him as he greeted Lucille on the other side of the line."Hello, my dear Lucille," he greeted, but the other line remained silent. He checked his phone’s screen and wondered if there was a network error."I... I am here," Lucille stuttered, causing Drake to chuckle. He adored how Lucille stuttered; each time they talked, she seemed surprised, yet she wanted to act tough when she ultimately couldn't."Where are you? Can you—""I said, I am here," she said."What do you mean?" Drake looked at the nurse, confused at what Lucille said, and the nurse simply shrugged her shoulders."I saw you in the news. I am here in the lobby," she clarified."You've been there?""Yes.""Then why are you not going straight here?" he asked, still confused."I... I don't know if I'm allowed to visit you," she shyly said.Drake laughed again, finding her amusing. "You’re wor

    Lucille finally snapped out of her reverie, her face now flushed red."What the hell are you doing?" she yelled, her annoyance growing as she saw Drake's wide smile. "Pervert!" With frustration, she slapped Drake's arm, causing him to groan in pain."Ack! Why did you hit me?" he groaned."Ah! I'm sorry!" she stammered, flustered by her own actions. Lucille hastily left the room, running away until she found herself sitting on the stairs, burying her face in her knees.Biting her lower lip, her heart continued to pound rapidly as she exclaimed, "What the hell was that? Are we really in a relationship now? Is this really how it started?" She wondered aloud, still reeling from the unexpected kiss.However, her thoughts were interrupted when her eyes met Marianne, who was climbing up the stairs."What are you doing?" Marianne asked, looking at Lucille with a bemused expression, wondering why she was sitting alone on the stairs, hugging herself."Why are you here?" Lucille snapped."Why ca

    Marianne's eyes widened in disbelief as she found herself face-to-face with one of the key figures from Gracestone Trading Corporation."CEO Zack White?" The words escaped her lips before she could stop herself.Zack's attention, however, was fixated on the person in the wheelchair that he was pushing."Director Zemo White?" she blurted out again, her mind racing to piece together the unexpected puzzle before her."Are you doing a roll call?" Zack quipped, breaking the tension with a hint of amusement in his voice."Oh, I'm sorry. It was just unexpected to see you here," Marianne apologized, attempting to regain her composure in the presence of such influential individuals."It's fine," Zack replied casually, his gaze shifting to the hospital bed where Drake lay, unable to nod due to the neck brace. Zack's eyes met Drake's, but Drake's thoughts were consumed with the memory of Zack callously pushing him off the building.Suppressing his rage, Drake redirected his attention to Zemo, kn

    "Is this the right time for me to drink a health potion?" Drake contemplated inwardly, his eyes fixated on the device that Zack had attached to Zemo's wheelchair. He gestured for Zemo to turn around for a moment, leaving Zemo puzzled but compliant.Drake retrieved three health potions, just enough to regain strength in his arms and upper body so he could sit up on his own. "What are you going to do anyway?" Drake asked, prompting Zemo to face him again."You—" Zemo began, almost commenting on Drake suddenly sitting up, but he covered his mouth, quickly composing himself. "I don't actually have a plan. What else can I do when I can't walk?" he said, feigning helplessness.Drake grinned, aware that Zemo could walk just fine. He faked a sigh and added, "I'm lost too. I can't sit up on my own either."Zemo also grinned, impressed by how their spoken words contrasted with their actions. Despite their admirable efforts, they couldn't change the fact that they were currently stuck, unable to

    Lucille’s mind spun as she tried to navigate through the fragments of her memory. The encounter with Zack left her shaken and disoriented. The mere thought of his presence triggered an inexplicable fear that she couldn't rationalize."That man... why do I feel scared of him?" Her voice trembled with unease as she grappled with the flashes of the unsettling encounter."Lucille, you're awake.” Eleanor entered. Her sudden appearance brought a sense of relief, albeit momentarily. “How are you feeling?" Eleanor's concern was evident in her voice."I... I don't know," Lucille stammered, her thoughts still clouded by the haunting image of Zack. "What happened?" she asked."You collapsed suddenly," Eleanor explained gently. "Do you not remember?"Lucille's brows furrowed as she struggled to grasp the sequence of events. "Do you know who's the man with Marianne?" she asked, her voice laced with apprehension."Do you mean Zack White?" Eleanor's response was almost immediate, her tone tinged wit

    Eleanor found herself in a state of panic, unsure of what steps to take with both Zack and Lucille unconscious in the hospital bed. She hesitated, grappling with the fear of potential consequences if she were to call for help after knocking Zack unconscious."Would they arrest me or charge me because I knocked someone down?" She weighed her options, contemplating the repercussions. Her gaze shifted to the back of Zack's head, widening as she noticed a few drops of red liquid seeping through."I can't let Drake know about this!" Eleanor exclaimed, feeling the weight of her actions. In a flurry of panicked decisions, she attempted to move Zack, inadvertently causing him to fall hard onto the tiled floor."Oh no!" She gasped in shock, realizing she had caused further injury to him. Despite her distress, she was resolute in her decision not to call for help, fearing the repercussions it might have on her image and relationships.Eleanor, perceived as gentle and delicate by those around he

    Drake rubbed his eyes, feeling the fatigue setting in from staring at his holographic system screen for hours. It had been an hour since Eleanor left his room, and during that time, Zack's location remained the same."What is he doing in that room? Is there something wrong with this feature?" Drake mumbled to himself, randomly tapping on his screen to check for any issues with his system. After confirming that everything was functioning correctly, he speculated, "Did he fall asleep under the bed or something?"Closing his system screen abruptly, Drake was startled when Marianne entered his room unexpectedly."Why are you still here?" he inquired, his eyes reflecting a mixture of curiosity and mild annoyance."I helped take care of Lucille's hospital admission," Marianne explained, placing a few papers on the table."Oh, thank you," Drake replied, acknowledging her assistance. He nodded appreciatively at Marianne, but a perplexed expression crossed his face as he wondered why she was s

    Drake's mind whirled with possibilities as he observed the disturbing scene through his holographic system screen. Zack lay unconscious, blood pooling around him, the room a chaotic mess. The sight sent a chill down Drake's spine.“Did Ely go to her room safely?”His first instinct was to check on Eleanor, ensuring she was safe and unaware of the unfolding chaos in the room below them. Using his coins, he conveniently checked on her through his system.“Of course she’s resting," he said, breathing a sigh of relief after seeing her lying on the bed. Satisfied that she was sound asleep, he returned his attention to the screen displaying Zack's dire situation, his thoughts racing."Who could have done this to Zack?" Drake muttered, his mind running through the list of potential adversaries. "Of course, it wouldn't only be us. He's a psycho. There are probably more people who wanted to kill him."The scene before him indicated a violent struggle, but Drake couldn't piece together the moti

Only too late did he realize the true cost of his singular focus.Seated in his office, absorbed in his tasks, Drake was jolted from his concentration by the ringing of his phone. 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?!" Eleanor's voice crackled with frustration and disappointment."I'm at the office, why?" Drake responded, his heart sinking as he anticipated the conversation that was about to unfold."Seriously? You forgot, didn't you?" Eleanor's incredulous tone pierced through the line.Drake's stomach churned with guilt. "Forgot what?"Eleanor let out an exasperated sigh. "My wedding, Drake!

    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

However, unbeknownst to her, she was trapped in a labyrinth from which only Zack, Rebecca, and Drake could find their way out."What the hell is this place?" she muttered to herself as she continued downwards in an attempt to escape, but the path seemed endless."Aah!" she screamed as someone suddenly yanked her back."You're new here? 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?" Lucille inquired."I'm weak, but I can't die. You should be careful. Let go of the system as soon as possible while i

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
