Anna's POV

The cold night air was too much for me as we ran past Berlin’s darkened alleys. The city lights were particularly bright but we kept to the shadows so we wouldn't be seen.

My heart pounded as I ran but I kept moving. Dorian’s grip on my hand was firm, pulling me forward, guiding me as if he could sense the safest paths.

We barely spoke, just exchanged quick glances as we wove through the streets. Dorian tried calling the organization’s emergency line, his jaw tightening when no one answered. A second call. Nothing. The third went straight to voicemail. He cursed under his breath. We were on our own.

The weight of that realization pressed down on me. Whoever had attacked us knew exactly where we were. They had planned this. And now, with our protectors possibly dead, we had no backup. No weapons. No safe place to go. I shuddered as I feared what they'd do if they caught us.

A distant shout echoed behind us, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. My stomach twisted. The

    [Moments Earlier]“It’s about time…”Adam Sanchez rose from his bed with a resolute expression on his face.As his eyes stared into the distance, his face fixed on the door that stood meters away, he had a vacant expression.His lips trembled slightly as he hid the special dagger in his pocket.‘It’s pretty late now. It’s the perfect moment to strike…’To prepare for this moment, his partner had granted him another Enchanted Item—a Stealth Necklace.Using that, along with his sole B-Tier Skill, Adam figured he could get the job done.‘No matter how strong he is… Adonis will be vulnerable in his sleep!’The floor seemed to creak as Adam took steps forward. It could have been his imagination, but the journey to the door felt longer than usual.Reaching the door at last, he placed his hand on the knob with a gentle touch.“Haaa…” He took a deep breath and calmed himself.Clearing his mind of distractions, Adam focused solely on his goal. His goal was simple, and the stage was set for hi

    “So… I was thinking…” Rey began, surrounded by Monkey Monsters. Despite the creatures around him, he spoke as if pitching an idea to fellow humans.The excuse he gave himself was that he was simply doing this out of boredom, but Rey failed to consider the possibility that maybe… just maybe he was going insane.“… Instead of picking up your Cores after killing you, couldn’t I just bring a few Hobgoblins with me to do the job?”“GRRRRRRRRRR!!!”In response to their loud growls, Rey raised his hands, as if trying to pacify them and further argue his point.“Now hold on… hear me out! They’ll just be a few. Maybe even just one who’s very intelligent and quick on their feet.”The rationale behind this was simple.While Rey was busy exterminating these creatures, the Hobgoblin would be harvesting the Cores.A win-win!… Well, except for the Monsters being slain.“ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!”The group of Monkey Monsters—about five of them—leaped from their respective positions at the same time, all of

    “This is the place.”Rey and Noah stood in front of a massive building—one of the biggest in the area.Of course, it wasn’t more than three storeys, but it was very wide.It was clear that a lot of activities went on in this building, and it wasn’t for the faint of heart.“You actually did business here?!” Rey was shocked that someone as timid as Noah had the gall to trade in such an intimidating structure.“W-well, I was approached by an affiliate who brought me here.”“A-ahh… that’s true.”According to Noah’s story, he was initially just looking for a place to sell the Monster Cores when he was approached by a guy who told him he’d help him sell the goods.This man then escorted Noah to the imposing building and guided him through the necessary procedures.‘That guy must be the one behind the scam’ Rey figured, connecting the dots.The company must have dealt directly with the so-called Affiliate, who in turn dealt with Noah.He probably pretended to be the seller and got to bargai

    “GRRRRR!!!”As a feral beast growled and barked at Rey, he couldn’t help but let out a small smirk, watching the creature closely.‘Well, that didn’t take very long…’ His thoughts trailed off as he observed the creature's unique features.The beast in front of him looked like a monkey—no, more like a chimp—but it had a few distinct differences that made it stand out.For one, its entire body was covered in white hair. Secondly, its pale gray skin and bright blue eyes were definitely not primate-like.Finally, while it was as large as a regular human, due to it squatting in a quadrupedal fashion, it appeared shorter than Rey.‘I guess the last one is pretty much in line with monkeys, huh?’The beast before him had very sharp jaws, as if belonging to a carnivore, and its bright blue eyes exuded nothing but sheer hatred.Despite all of these, though, Rey remained surprisingly composed as he assessed the unfamiliar creature before him.‘I’ve never seen or heard of this kind of creature be

    Dorian's POVOnce I left Anna, I went back to my office with the knowledge that the board would be phoning soon. As usual, the call came in just a couple of minutes later. There was that slight calmness in the chairman’s voice, but it was tinged with disapproval.“Dorian, what’s this I hear about an announcement? A relationship with an employee?”I noticed myself counting to five silently before saying anything. As irritating as it is, I am only human and have to factor in the fact that there is a hierarchy that needs to be followed.I completely focused on the task at hand instead of the condescending tone that had come across. “Yes, as I’ve responded to the query raised by the employees in the office, I had to make it very clear in order for everyone to be on the same page and not create tension within the workplace.”“While I get what you are trying to say, there are some ethical issues and the risk of conflicting interests. The board will need reassurances.”“There is no project f
