LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 72 - Continuation
~~Continuation~~The general kept staring at Jane as she continued her explanation."There is only so much information the blood test can give us. We have to confront her directly to get the answers we need,” she suggested."You want to question the MANA user? Do I need to remind you just…”“No, ma'am,” Jane cut in. “I know the danger of speaking with a MANA user based on their unstable personality. But no matter the tests we perform on her, they can’t tell us how the drugs were administered. Speaking to her would be better. If the procedure is what we missed during the MANA examinations, then we have to find out how they did it.”“That’s true,” Mock said thoughtfully, seconding the idea. “Besides, there’s nothing to worry about. I already have her strapped to a chair, and she can’t do anything.”"Huh!" Gen. Dert, who had remained silent until now, sta
LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 73 - The Surge
***I could hardly keep my eyes open as searing pain coursed through my body. The shockwave had ravaged me, leaving my senses in chaos. I blinked rapidly, trying to focus on the woman standing at a distance. My body felt like a leaden weight, and it took a moment to realize my hands and legs were bound to a chair. When I finally did, I turned my gaze to Captain Mock“Is this necessary?” I demanded, my voice barely above a whisper.“No...” he lied, his lips curling into a devilish grin. “But I prefer it that way.”“Wow... I guess bondage is your style,” I sneered, defying him with my eyes.“Ha-ha-ha, very funny.”“Hi, Sophie,” the blonde woman who stood close to the Captain greeted, stepping into my line of vision. “My name is Doctor Jane Forster, and if you don’t mind, I would like to ask you a few questions,” she said, her tone disturbingly calm.I glared at her, defiance bubbling beneath the surface. “Release me, and I’ll cooperate,” I replied, my voice steady despite the pain.“You

~~Continuation~~Ah!I panted, sweating profusely. “Yes, I suppose,” I replied, catching Mock grinning from the corner of my eye.Let's just play their game, at least for now.“Okay, then you must also know that you have more than one drug in your system, and they are different from each other,” she continued.“I wouldn’t know, Doc! I’m not a drug addict,” I snapped back.“Fine. Among all the drugs in your system, there is one that dominates them all, and it’s called MANA. Do you know what that is?” she asked again.“Nope. But I have a feeling you’ll tell me about it.”She smiled a bit. “It’s a drug that makes you stronger than normal, heightening your senses. Simply put, it makes you a superhuman,” she finished.I was quiet. Looks like there’s no denying the drug's effect if they already know this much. “Hmmm. Y

~~~~Doc Jane took a few moments to gather herself. She glanced back at the tinted glass, then shifted her gaze to Mock before finally focusing her attention on me."How did you…" she began to say."I've been answering your questions," I cut her off, my tone edged with danger. "How about you answer a few of mine?" I asked, a menacing smile playing on my lips.She paused, her fingers brushing a small button on her earpiece that I had missed.After a tense silence, she turned back to me. "Let's hear it." "Now that you've gotten the answers you were searching for, can you let me go?" I demanded, my gaze fixed behind her instead of on her."Excuse me?""You've got what you wanted, right?" I pressed, not waiting for a response. "I mean, you went through all the trouble to get me here, did your numerous blood tests and whatnot. Letting me go shouldn't be difficult, right?" I said it again, my tone edged with impatience.Doc Jane looked at me, confusion playing across her face. "Sor-ry, I ne

~~~~~~Continuation......Alex exhaled heavily in frustration, This is why he hated dealing with these old goat. Their reasoning grated on him, fueling a simmering anger that made his hands twitch.He entertained fleeting thoughts of killing them all, but in this virtual meeting, such actions were impossible. Taking a moment to collect himself, he leaned forward, breathing deeply to quell the fury within, a faint smirk crossing his lips."It's time to gather everyone," he declared, his voice cutting through the digital silence with a chilling edge. "Prepare yourselves. We're going to war in the next few minutes," he announced, his tone brooking no dissent."Oh! That’s promising," the Canadian leader responded with a smile." But who exactly are we going to war with?""The military’s organization and higher-ups," Alex replied, his eyes burning with resolve."Beautiful, that’s what I love to hear," the Canadian leader responded, while the others remained silent, glancing at one another.
LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 75 - The Battle of Time
~~~~“Ah, damn it!” Sophie yelled in frustration.The chains binding her legs were far stronger than those on her hands. Though she had managed to free her hands, she still struggled to release her legs from the heavy, unforgiving restraints. Each link seemed to taunt her, glinting maliciously in the dim light. She pulled and twisted, her muscles straining, but the chains refused to yield.A cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Despite her newfound mental strength, she knew she could not move forward without freeing herself completely. The clock was ticking, and every second felt like a hammer driving a nail deeper into her will.To make matters worse, guards with heavy guns surrounded her, and Mock, along with Doc Jane, stood nearby, no doubt waiting to see what she could do.But why weren’t these chains breaking like the others? She pondered.Suddenly, a faint memory flashed in her mind—Mock’s sadistic grin as he locked her up. “These chains are special,” he had said, his voice dri

~~~~~~Continuation...The moment the door opened, Sophie’s eyes snapped open, turning toward the sound. Seeing Captain Mock running out of the room and down the stairs in a hurry, she knew something was up.Shortly after, some strange-looking people, clad in heavy cloaks with collars humming with electric current, followed him.Their faces were hidden, but Sophie managed to catch a single word from Mock’s lips as he hurried out: “Syndicates.”Her heart raced. If her suspicions were correct, it meant Alex was on his way. Great! All the more reason to get out of here, she thought, returning her attention to the stubborn chains binding her.The doctors around her gasped and pleaded, their voices filled with fear. “Please, kill the smoke!” they begged desperately.As much as she would love to, Sophie didn’t know how to control the smoke. But she couldn’t let them know that.
LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 76 - The Last User
***I wasn’t stopping. Even as the doctors begged me, I marched forward in a rage. The first doctor, I grabbed by the collar and slammed against the wall, glaring into his eyes.“What the hell does he mean by ‘biological weapon’?” I snarled.He glanced nervously at the General’s decapitated body and started to shake. “Hmmm… I…”“Talk!” I barked.“It’s a device meant to wipe out anyone in their path,” another doctor, whose name tag reads James, cut in, his voice trembling.I glanced at the doctor, who answered me. Slowly, I returned my gaze to the one whose collar was in my grip. Annoyed, I threw him aside."Worthless," I spat, turning to James. "What do you mean?"James swallowed hard. "When they first hired us, they said the weapons we were developing were for the protection of citizens. But a few months in, we discovered that was a lie," he explained. "They developed the weapons to destroy anyone who stood in their way, and in this case, it happens to be the syndicate." He stared at

~~Continuation~~The moment I heard the sounds of hurried footsteps approaching the cabin door, I opened my eyes and managed a small smile.It’s a bittersweet sight to see my father and Alex engaging in a frantic, almost playful competition to be the first to reach me.Ah, I’ve missed them all. My parents, Alex, Drew, Rick, and Avavska—everyone is here, surrounding me with their presence.“Darling, are you okay?” Dad’s voice is filled with both worry and relief. I smiled at him and nodded.I slowly turn to Alex, who is now kneeling beside me. “Hey!” I whisper softly, with exhaustion in my voice.“Hey,” he replies, gently pressing his lips to my hand. His voice trembles, and I can see the strain in his eyes. “I thought I lost you,” he murmurs, struggling to keep his emotions in check.“That’s never going to happen,” I reply firmly, though my
LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 82 - Together Forever
Inside the Plane***I wake slowly, the world around me cloaked in thick shadows and muted sounds.My head throbs with a relentless, pounding rhythm, each pulse sending a sharp wave of pain through my skull—a brutal reminder of the hell I’ve just been through.The surgery on my brain lasted four hours, but it feels like I’ve been lost in darkness for days. Ten hours—ten agonizing hours—I’ve been out cold, unaware, while everything around me kept moving, kept changing.How do I know that? Don’t ask me. My brain is a ticking time bomb right now, and I’m not sure it can handle the strain of thinking, of trying to make sense of what’s real and what’s not. Pondering over it feels like a dangerous game, one I’m not willing to play.The steady hum of the plane’s engines is gone, replaced by an eerie stillness. We must have landed.I force my eyes open, the cabin

LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 81 - Not yet the end
Chapter 81 - Not yet the end“Sophie? Sophie?” Alex’s voice was frantic as Daniel laid her trembling body on the table.He turned to Drew, his tone urgent. “We need to operate now.”Drew didn’t hesitate, quickly setting out the operating tools. “Yes, right away.”“Operate on her? What are you talking about?” Alex suddenly demanded, confusion and anger rising in his voice, but no one answered him.Emily, who had already pieced together what was happening with her daughter, spoke up, her voice shaky. “We can’t do this here. We should wait until we land first.”“And risk losing the only chance to save her?” Drew shot back, his tone sharp.Still confused and growing more frustrated, Alex demanded, “Why does she need an operation to be saved?” His eyes darted from Avanska to Rick, then locked onto Drew. “Is there something you’re not telling me?”Avanska turned to Rick, whose nervous eyes were scanning the room as if searching for answers that weren’t there.“Answer me!” Alex’s voice thund

**Continuation**Meanwhile, on the far edge of the field.I gasped as blood dripped from my mouth. Killing this general was taking longer than I’d anticipated, and the first time bomb I’d planted when leaving the underground facility had already started going off.“We need to end this now,” I muttered, just as another bomb exploded in the distance.It felt like the universe was finally throwing me a bone—the general stumbled, losing his balance. I seized the moment, driving my dagger into his lower abdomen, pushing it deeper with all my strength.He groaned in agony and flung me off, but Alex and my mother were already on him, launching another attack from behind.I stood still for a moment, knowing if I waited for him to go down before making my next move, it would be too late.I scanned the area for someone reliable, but everyone was engaged in the battle—except for… Drew and my father.

****"Sorry, come again?" Daniel requested, with his eyes throwing a dagger at him.Drew’s face drained of color, his eyes widening with sudden fear as he realized he’d just betrayed himself.He stiffened, turning his head away, and cleared his throat awkwardly. “I’m afraid I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he stammered, attempting to mask his panic.“Isn’t it a bit late for that?” Daniel pressed, his voice cold and unwavering. “The look on your face tells me you know more than you’re letting on. I just watched my daughter writhing in pain, clutching her head. So if you say—”“Wait!” Drew interrupted, his voice rising in alarm. “You found her already?”Daniel’s eyes narrowed as he stepped closer, his anger palpable. “Yes, to be precise, she found us. Now, tell me what’s going on before it’s too late.”Drew swallowed hard, his composure crumbling under the weight of Daniel’s intense gaze. “I… I don’t think you’re ready for the truth,” he said, his voice trembling.Daniel’s gaze
LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 79 - Blood and Bones.
~~~~For my plan to succeed, he needed to lower his guard, even a little. My eyes locked onto the grenade launcher in his hands. Damn...Dert… He was the last of the three generals. I didn't know the full extent of his power, but I knew killing him wouldn’t be easy. Still, it was better to face him in combat than to let him toy with my family's lives.I’d rather gamble with my life, I thought, a devilish grin spreading across my face as he loaded his grenade launcher.“Seriously, is that the best you can do?” I questioned him, marching forward, trying to make him lose his guard. Another grenade flew past my shoulder, leaving burns. I groaned in pain. “This’s hardly a fair fight,” I yelled. “Even when I killed the other generals, it was a fair fight.”He ignored me and continued firing. I didn’t give up, continuing to taunt him. “And you call yourself a man—a general at that.” I halted. “What a waste of a title,” I spat out.At my last comment, he suddenly paused and gently pulled back
LOVING A GANGSTER Chapter 78 - A Fight for time
~~~"This isn't happening," I murmured faintly.The grenade was almost upon my mother, and time seemed to slow. I reached out, heart pounding, cold dread filling me as I realized I might not make it in time.“No…” I found myself screaming, despite the deadly headache and the sharp pains ringing inside my skull. Just then, the cause of my current situation decided to do me a favor—MANA.It was as if I was suddenly filled with a kind of supernatural strength unlike anything before. Instead of running, I saw myself flying. In that instant, I threw myself on her, and she fell to the ground with a loud gasp.The grenade barely missed her as it flew past us, leaving a small cut on my shoulder, while pushing me off my mother and landing on some military men, blowing them to pieces.The chaos around me blurred into a grim symphony of screams and explosions, but all I could focus on was the faint rise and fall of my mother’s breath beneath me. My breaths came in ragged gasps, the pain still pu

****“What the...?” Emily’s voice faltered, her expression twisting in shock and horror.Her eyes flicked from the headless body of General Storm to the blood-drenched figure standing over it. Sophie stood there, motionless, covered in blood from head to toe.Her eyes locked onto Emily’s with a fierce, unyielding glare.Emily couldn’t believe what she saw—Sophie, the daughter she thought she knew, standing over the bloody mess she had wrought.Her mind raced while her body remained frozen. The brutality of the scene left her paralyzed. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from her daughter, now a stranger, a deadly force she could barely recognize."Just what the hell, Sophie? How could you...?" She trailed off, words too heavy to utter.But Daniel saw things differently. He saw that his daughter—the one taken from them—had finally returned.Ignoring the mess, he pushed past his
