**** The sun rises and the empty school started to get crowded. I waited in front of the school gate, carrying the four folders with me. After reading the information in the fourth folder, I got more courage. I was right. The fourth folder has the evidence that needed to expose that bastard's connection to the car accident and the poisoning incident. All I needed to do was to hand these over to Michael, the person that could bring down Mathew at the moment. However, I am a ghost right now. There was no way these nonexistent folders would appear in the world of the living. I can't hand them over to Michael personally nor I could appear and testify for the truth. The only thing I could do was ask a person who would connect me to Michael. A living person who could communicate with the dead. That person was Jia. That's why I am here at the school gate waiting diligently for Jia. Hopefully, she won't avoid me much and hear me out. When I saw a familiar short-haired girl with a
Tomorrow quickly came by.I gave one glance at Lucas before departing for the school.I did not bother to come early to not disturb Jia in her class and decided to wait for her at the school gate after class.I sincerely hoped that Jia won't run away like last time. Since the school was a private one, many private cars were already waiting for rich students to fetch them. Seeing the cars lined up while the drivers waited outside, I felt a sense of deja vu.A black sedan passed by. Unlike the other cars that could only park in front of the school gates, this car was given the privilege to come inside.A driver not far away from me gossiped to another driver."Which car is that? Why are they allowed in?""Are you new? That car belonged to the owner of this school, the President.""Oh, the President? But isn't the President overseas right now due to the collaboration with other foreign private schools? I have heard it from my boss.""Ah. There are many things you should know. Ask your
....Jia and I arrived at the hospital. Although it took us some time to sneak in and avoid the nurses and interns, we managed to arrive on the fourth floor.I checked first if Lucas was alone in the room. Michael had already left after the first day. He hired a private nurse for Lucas. Thus, it made it more difficult for Jia to sneak into the room.After waiting for the nurse to leave the room, Jia and I finally went inside Lucas' room.When Jia saw Lucas' face she was stunned."He looked like....the man you are with before.""You mean Lucas? That's Lucas. He is still alive."Jia: !!!She backed away."He would not recognize you. Actually, he is in this state ever since he woke up. It's not different from when he fell into a coma."Jia stared unblinkingly at Lucas. Seeing that although the patient on the bed had his eye wide open, he was not responding to any sound in the room or to Jia's presence."...What happened to him?""I am not quite sure what is his current state in spiritual
....Thump.Thump.Thump.The heartbeat on the monitor was the only sound in the room. It was stable and strong.I could see Jia's white eyes turned even wider. She looked so dumbstricken seeing the patient in this room more than meeting Lucas.Jia looked at the girl then looked at me. She has done it twice. Then thrice."...You...How come...""Yup." I said with a bitter smile. "This is me.""You!"Jia yelled in stupefaction."???"Why was she so shocked than earlier? Jia composed herself but there was still surprise in her voice. "...Is this really you?""...."I was speechless. Do I really look bloody that my facial features weren't clear? I raised my hair. Although the blood on my face could not be wiped away, at least she would see the similarities, right?"Yup. That's really me. Look at my face clearly." I said as I kneeled beside the bed and leaned my bloody face near my comatose body. If this was close, she would notice the same face, right?There was a long silence.Jia pro
A/n: This chapter is edited. Thank you for waiting. **** In the Chairman's office of Aden corp, a tall man was currently in a virtual meeting with other foreign investors. After bidding goodbye, one of the foreigners who was close to the Chairman made another call. The purpose of this call was not a business-related matter but just a friend catching up with him. "It is the first time that you did not attend the meeting personally. What's keeping you there? Is it your beautiful wife?" The blond man was trying to have a light conversation by mentioning Victoria, but he actually messed up. Michael maintained his expression but his voice was a bit cold. "It's not my wife but my son." "You have a son?" The blond man was shocked. He did not know that his business partner had a son. But he quickly accepted this fact. It's normal to have a bastard or two in wealthy families in the upper circle. It's not that suprising. "My son is hospitalized for a very long time. He recently woke
No matter how meticulous a person was, if he was drowned with secrets, he would need an outlet to keep these secrets.That's what Lucas must be looking for.When he found out that it was his uncle who was behind Victoria, he started to point all his fingers toward this bastard.The fourth folder contained the everyday life of Mathew. In front of the invincible spies, he was an open book. As I stated before, a person who kept dirty secrets would have an outlet to keep his mind sane. For example, a diary, a sex partner, a stranger which you can tell little details ambiguously, or a record of things.That's right. Lucas was able to find that 'outlet' where Mathew kept his crimes.Mathew who schemed even on his weak fragile blood-related nephew would not be able to trust others easily, even that person was Victoria.Mathew cleaned up and erased every trace of his crimes that might be related to him. But he did not clean up after Victoria's traces. He kept it like a treasure and recorded
I entered the familiar gate while trying to maintain my composure. I was back in the hunted mansion. The place I wanted to avoid the most. This place knows a lot about Lucas and me. And in the past few days, after the last hunt, we barely come here again. What if the people here started looking for Lucas? Or what if they make a request for me and Lucas to hunt another demon again? I can't hunt without Lucas. I can't let these people know that Lucas came back from the dead. I don't know what they were going to do once they find out but I don't want to figure it out. However, I have no choice but to come here and receive their service. As I entered the haunted mansion I noticed that it was crowded and livelier than usual. The burned people in the hunted mansion were partying. The ghosts they accepted here were also present. The market was expanded and more crowded than usual. It was very bustling. What was going on? This seemed like there was a festival or something. One of t
Arriving at Carl's office, Carl who was always carrying a gentle smile revealed his annoyed expression to me. "You guys disappeared and just show up at good timing. But I did not expect that you would almost ruin your own party." Carl's words caught my attention. "Our own party?" "Yes. Don't you see us drinking wine after a long time and opening our supply for the market in a grand manner? It is because we are celebrating you and Lucas' successful hunt of the ancient demon. After all, this is the first time the haunted mansion is able to procure an ancient demon. And it's all thanks to you two." Oh...so the party was really for us. That's why I am the focus of attention today. "I will scold you later for what you've done. But first, you two are going to a private party with the higher-ups." My mind heard a warning bell. "...A party with the higher-ups?" "Yes. I was about to look for you guys but fortunately, you came here first. Where is Lucas by the way? The two of you are t
