"My Lord, twelve more people came today. That will be twenty-seven total within the week." Butch looked at their young lord who seemed to be too distracted to listen to anything. However, he knew his lord was listening to everything. This was the number of aliens that came to Heaven’s Gate within the week. All of them were chosen for the Crystal Pulse, and their lord spent a lot of money to get them to Heaven’s gate safely. The recruitment process for Crystal Pulse was happening in a steady phase. More immortal aliens would come to Heaven's Gate before they leave, and they also planned to recruit natives of their world. He felt ashamed and guilty when he saw the child who was playing with her father. They failed to protect her when she needed the protection most. 'We are so weak, and we need to take action when it is necessary.' None of them had the experience of working for a noble. Samson, who had experience in protecting nobles, wasn't used to the style of their world.
“Who is lying, Hanna?”Amelia was the one who asked the question. She naturally closed the gap between her and Jason. For the last week, their boundaries had become thin with Hanna’s demanding behaviour. Since she wanted both of them to be at her side, she would only fall asleep while hugging both of them. They severely lacked boundaries after spending most of the day close to each other. It felt natural for her to stand so close to Jason. “He is lying, Mommy!”Hanna pointed her finger at the skinny man. She heard everything, even though she was in her daddy’s hand. When this ugly uncle said this elder brother and sisters stole his money, it reminded her of the day she met her daddy. She never used her ability to read the minds of the people on purpose, but she wanted to see if what this uncle said was true. ‘Mommy and Daddy always said it is bad to lie, and this uncle is lying.’Hanna had seen many people’s hearts, but this one was among one of the ugliest ones she ever saw. Sh
“Why… Why did you help us?”Dimitri stood in front of his sisters, and he forgot his formal speech. “Hm… For no reason.”Jason simply did what he thought was the best.“Your face looks funny!”“Hm?”Jason looked at the young girl who was looking at him while sucking her thumb. “She… She didn’t mean it.”Dimitri covered Peri as his body shook in fear. He knew Peri didn’t understand who this man was, but he knew why no one in the surrounding laughed at his funny face. No one even dared to mention it. Because this was the Mad Wizard. Not even the arrogant city guards raised their voices in front of him.‘Didn’t she see what he did right here? Is she too young to understand how powerful he is?’He didn’t feel this terrified when he had to protect his sisters before. “Please… Don’t….”He wanted to plead for his sister. “Daddy’s face is not funny. It is the face of a warrior. Daddy and Hanna wear Warpaint because we are going to war.”‘Huh?’Dimitri didn’t even get to complete his plea
“Sir, are these clothes appropriate?” “Yeah. Those are good enough. They can’t go out in expensive clothing. Help the girls with the clothes after they finish their food.” “Yes, Mr Garth.” “Keep up the good work. Mistress Amelia has noticed your performance. There are always excellent opportunities if the nobles notice you.” “Thank you, Sir. I will do my best.” Garth felt the excitement in the maid’s voice. Hope Manor was a great place for these young maids. The treatments and the wages were much better, and they received no harassment from the spoiled nobles. A young girl like this might not know, but the maids who experienced enough hardships knew how great this place was. “Good. You are excused.” Garth nodded his head in satisfaction with the clothes the maid brought for the children. These children were from the streets and most probably from the slums. It was impossible for them to go back there in expensive clothes without being targeted by some lowlife. The best they
“Jason… This is the list of the people coming to Heaven’s Gate within next week.”“Send the list. Are you sure you can’t do anything about the timing?”“Well… The last batch will reach Heaven’s Gate a week after your three-month period in the wizard tower. They just left their spawn town, and it will take a couple of more weeks for them to reach you.”The new players couldn’t move them on their own without getting killed along the way, and they had to pay adventurers to escort them to Heaven’s Gate. Jason’s name itself with his seal was more than enough to get these players to the nearest city with the teleportation system. Still, this journey took time even if they provided horses, and these players lacked the status to use Eagle transportation, even with Jason’s name. “Alright! I will wait for them.”…‘You didn’t even look at the list.’Dane wondered why Jason looked so distracted. ‘Is it because of the orphans? I thought he got over it.’The news about Jason taking over thirty o
“How is he?”“He is just sitting here. Nothing much. We are keeping anyone troublesome from approaching him.”Samson scanned the crowd as he spoke with Dane. “Is he mad?”“No. He just gave an autograph to two young boys. So, I think we just have to keep anyone from irritating him.”“Alright. Keep an eye out. The West Corporation is ready to apologise and pay a lump sum to avoid confrontation.”“Not a public apology?”Samson wondered if he heard it wrong.“No. Not a public apology. I changed the condition. Didn’t you see the news?”“I am looking at it right now.”Samson shook his head, unamused. He thought Dane was joking when he heard Dane asking for a public apology. Apparently, this young guy was serious about it. ‘Confrontation between Carl West and Jason Hope. What is the hidden truth behind the conflict between Derek West and Jason Hope?’The topic was on the internet, and it would soon reach the local news agencies. There were several clips where they jumped in between Jason
“Mommy, is Daddy okay?”“Hm… He will be okay.”Amelia gently rubbed Hanna’s head. She tried to look confident, but there was a slight doubt in her heart.She knew Hanna might detect her distress, but she couldn’t conceal it any longer. Jason used the excuse of Dane’s request to run away from her to avoid her question.‘It is your fault Hanna is sad. Do you think I will let you escape?’Amelia had more questions waiting for Jason when he returned, including his reason to avoid her. Hanna woke up minutes after Jason left, and Amelia knew Hanna must have felt Jason’s mood. He wasn’t sad the entire day, but his mood changed in the afternoon. It was impossible for Jason to hide his emotions from them, and Hanna stayed awake longer to prevent Jason from leaving. Jason didn’t escape until Hanna slept, but he didn’t know she woke up soon after. “Mommy, when will Daddy come?”“He will be here soon.”‘He better be here soon.’Amelia added the last part in her heart.Hanna refused to sleep,
“This one is worse than anything else, but there are still people on his side.”Dane looked at the three screens and saw the others and their dire expressions. As expected, someone had broadcasted Jason’s fight in the bar. It started with his excessive drinking as someone noted him chugging down alcohol with no end. However, the video ended when Samson and the others stepped in to calm the people.Jason's fight didn’t last a minute, but it was brutal as all his other fights. He clearly showed how proficient and decisive he was in combat.From the moment the girl touched him, he took down seven individuals in exactly fifty-one seconds. Each strike Jason used neutralised one enemy, and his instinct looked beyond sharp. “He isn’t even looking at them. It is like he knows what his punches can do.”David, who had almost no combat experience compared to others, was marvelled by Jason’s fight. He knew what Jason was capable of in The Endless, but this was in the real world. If not for the
