Agatha remembered the intel she received from Paul last night and sighed. The terrible helplessness she felt that day coming back to her again. Paul told her, a few of their men had encountered the woman this Saturday midnight, with around five mercenaries found dead. She mourned for the five men and once again blamed her weakness which led to this tragedy. 25 people already died. Maybe more. Agatha reflected and realized, if she only was stronger, then Maurice would have been incapacitated or dead by now. There wouldn't be any more unwelcomed deaths. How she hated that she didn't plan more and laid out countermeasures against the woman. There were so many 'what ifs' in her brain and the more unanswered questions surfaced in her mind, the more she blamed herself. Tonight, she went out and strolled the main road of Central Alina. A minute later, she was already marching into a huge residence, the several maids and male servants of the mansion ignored her and acted like they didn't
Similar to the weather on that same morning, the night sky above was as gloomy. It was not raining but there were no stars. The moon was up there. But because of the seemingly endless cluster of clouds drifting to where the source of light was, it was though there was still no moon.But mysteriously, the situation above had no effect on the people below. The city was still as boisterous as ever, like its lights and noise would never die down, or probably it would only do once the world comes to an end.".Wow!""Who is she? She's so pretty!""Yeah. I want to know too. She must be an actress or an heiress!""I think she's most likely a socialite. Look! She's graceful and confident, but not vulgar like most female stars who first climbed many beds before climbing their way to stardom."The subject of everyone's admiration was a very beautiful woman with chest length brown hair. She just walked out of Alina Mall's west exit. People, boys and girls alike, immediately got drawn to her since
A minute after the girl ended the call with a laugh, she also immediately vanished after she recalled what the system asked her. Then as she was positioning herself on the driver's seat and was on the middle of starting the car's engine, she asked the system.'Why are you against it again? You don't want me to join the fray? Oh, why?' she paused for a while and laughed.'When did a system AI like you care about us hosts? We don't know much about the system and AIs' origins but, at least, we know that you folks are heartless and only want to corrupt more people. Each of you is points-grubber. So why do you not want me to join the fun? Aren't you supposed to encourage me because it will mean more points expenditure?'The woman sneered and focused on driving. Evidently, she didn't believe it one bit. She thought, if the system truly doesn't want infighting, it will include this rule to the taboos. But no, it didn't. Thi
Early in the morning, Eithan saw someone dropping an envelope into their mailbox. While rubbing the morning glory off of his eyes, he strode towards it and checked the letter deposited there. His drowsy eyes widened when he saw the name, actually names, written at the back. From: MistyTo: EithanA frown immediately appeared on his face as he stared at the sky blue envelope in his hand. 'Because I blocked her in social media and text messenger, she mailed it?' His face became gloomy. To be honest, he really didn't want any more involvement with her. She was too much of a trouble, even without factoring in her relationship with that two-faced unreasonable host. Even if he took that out of the equation, the system inside his head was also no joke. He had to constantly guard up against it since if he becomes a little bit weak-willed for a few seconds, he'd surely end up becoming a rapist. Given these reasons, who could blame him for badly wanting not to ever get involved with that an
This day Agatha also decided to ditch school and instead go to the shooting range. She had many reasons to do this. First, these days she couldn't help but feel like schooling was already not one of her priorities. This was not influenced by being a rich man's daughter or a magnate's secret lover. With the many threats in her and loved ones' lives she honestly sometimes could not set her mind at ease even if she was at a place meant for learning. Also, even if she goes today, it wouldn't be as fruitful as learning some means of self-defense. Anyway, the only event today there was the announcement of rankings.Secondly, of course, she was angry at the latest mission issued by the system. Or actually, she had been stressed by the missions issued by it. Last time, it wanted her to commit adultery, this time, to stab someone included in her list of people to protect. Really, when given the chance and way to do it, she'd make sure to remove the annoying thing in her head! Third, she wants
Three hours quickly passed after the incident. Agatha had already wasted so many practice ammo. But the stares she received from the others made her conscious, thus halfway her afternoon practice, she snuck out and went back wearing a black dress, a bottle of iced coffee and biscuits were in her hand.By the way, when she was still outside, she began asking the ever-so-sarcastic system about some things that could probably help in her current mission and while passing by a newsstand displayed outside of a bookstore, she learned about the sudden removal of every news and materials related to Maurice on the internet and other media. Reckoning this was probably what occupied her enemy for the last two days, her heart became heavier and many gloomy sighs escaped from her lips. Actually, the news did not shock her so long since she knew this kind of things was just normal for any host. It was just she still felt extremely annoyed and pressured.In her heart, she complained about why the op
Heavens had seemingly wanted to tell her that wish was impossible. It was because when she started brainstorming on how to pass the current mission, she only managed to come up with two ways.First was to probably use her acting skills and accidentally stab Paul at somewhere not fatal. Maybe she could lead him to the kitchen and then fake an accident there. Anyway, she realized the mission only said to stab, not stab to death. There was only one problem. She really disliked the idea of hurting Paul. Hence if there were other choices, naturally she would be more willing to try those first. Anyway, she still has around 7 hours before midnight. Once these fail, that's when she'll ask for Paul 's cooperation.Therefore, she picked the second way. The only thing she didn't foresee was that this option would lead her back to the person she didn't ever want to meet again and that it would make her do something she never considered for today. It was during time like this when one could really
Meanwhile, the bald muscle head next to Kyla who looked like some inmate that escaped from his prison grinned,"Hey, you're his girl! Don't tell me you didn't know that he's having a fierce rivalry with Marc? Why are you surprised?"Agatha looked away uncomfortably since she noticed the person indecently checking her out. If weren't for the number of people looking their way, she would have started hypnotizing this guy to kiss another brawny man on the lips."Hey, Goli! You brute! Stop disrespecting this new addition to our group. Hello, by the way, pretty miss! I didn't think you'd be the one to walk into my room!"Agatha saw the place's owner walking towards her direction. A smile adorned his face. However, she only held unhappiness from Marc's warm greetings. "Sorry if I just suddenly went in. I was curious because I heard some loud voices here," she said flatly."No problem! You're more than welcome here, Miss Silver!" She automatically narrowed her eyes after hearing the upper
