"This purple poison is more than the dangerous venom of a giant snake." The thirty-something male doctor raised his round glasses, which hung down the bridge of his nose. They almost fell off as the doctor leaned forward too long, watching the purple liquid inside the miniature silicone tube. He shifted his attention to Glenn, who was lying stiffly. The wound on her arm had been stitched up and was still covered with a bandage as thick as a towel. "It's lucky the bullet didn't wholly penetrate Glenn's body. I stopped the spread of the poison before it reached his brain. Half of his body might have trouble moving when he wakes up later. "In other words, is Glenn half paralyzed?" Anna asked, hoping for a better answer while holding back tears. "Until an antidote is found," doctor replied. "Oh, Anna.. this is crazy. Where do we get the antidote?" asked Thomas. "I will go to Athens to research this type of poison, and then we can find or create an antidote. Be patient. His mental ba
Jay shoved Ruby back, grabbing the front seat. Besides being close to the air conditioner, his pride was at stake if a man and a woman sat in the front seat. Jay felt like a mosquito. What was annoying was that Jay thought teacher Ruby was old, like Anna."What are you doing? Hurry up," Jay said, poking his head into the back seat.Ruby opened the door and threw herself in, and it closed without touching. All Ruby had to do was pull, and her internal force showed off, slamming the thing shut."Ey, your power is getting cooler.""Promise me you won't be irresponsible, Mr. Jordan," Ruby pleaded."Calm down. The sun may fuel this car, but your powers are much stronger. You can create a hurricane if you almost get hit.""The sun? Why does it feel cold?" interrupted Jay."Yes, the gods can do everything. Including saving the car from burning. I borrowed this car from the god Apollo." Jordan chuckled."Wow, you have great connections!" exclaimed Jay.Ruby chuckled. "You almost burned it," s
"Are you okay?" Jay asked."She's dead," Ruby replied with a small cry. Her leg was sore, but it would be a hassle if her and Jay's focus were split. Putting everything else aside, the baby was toast. "Everything is chaos now," said Ruby."It will be okay."Jay fumbled with his body and ended up ripping off the white shirt. Ruby reflexively closed her eyes to find Jay naked. Meanwhile, Jay slipped into the bathroom, dipped the fabric of his shirt, and then jumped back into the flames surrounding Noura Betsy's wooden bed."Jay, be careful! Don't burn your skin!" shouted Ruby. It was itching to peek at Jay's movements between her fingers. No matter how hot the fire got, Jay indoctrinated himself that he wouldn't feel anything until Noura Betsy was safe and out of the vicious circle.Jay wrapped Betsy's entire body in his wet clothes. Jay lifted Betsy, cradling the baby against his broad chest. Jay's grip tightened, afraid that the fire might weaken his joints. Indeed, the thought of li
"So, your power is singing, huh?" asked Ruby, muttering to herself, propping up her chin as she looked at Betsy. The baby was wide-eyed and gazing in all directions, looking for anyone to play with.It was Ruby's turn to glance at Jay on the opposite couch. The man's snoring resembled the rumbling of a volcano, but Ruby was relieved. Jay seemed to let go of all his burdens as he slept like a baby. He tried to put off the questions that would make his head explode.About how Betsy could have this kind of power. Did she harbor other powers? Would she get stronger the older she got?"Huft, I knew this adventure wouldn't be easy. Can she help me defeat Jemma? Betsy has a lot of potential."***The hot sun broke through the main window of the apartment, simultaneously opening Jay's horizon. Budding eyelids twitched, aroused by the orange light. A faint groan could be heard as they opened."Are you awake?" Ruby placed a glass of blood on the table and sat before Jay. "That's great, and you s
"Ruby, are you okay?" asked Jay, sitting beside Betsy on the mini round chair. "Let me tell you everything." He volunteered. "It's okay," Ruby said, hugging herself like she was cold. "What's going on? What bad news is Baskerville dealing with?" Jordan was getting impatient. "I lost contact with my Clan, Mr. Jordan ...." "What?" Jay surprised. "No wonder, Glenn didn't send me message. What's wrong?" Jordan struggled to his feet. His bass voice almost woke Betsy up. Fortunately, the snow-white baby just tilted her head, continuing to sleep peacefully. "Everything will be okay. I'll try again to contact everyone in Baskerville or search in my vision." "Ruby, are you crying?" Jay quickly got up, turning around to grab Ruby in his arms. Ruby cried on Jay's shoulder for a while. "Can you give her a minute?" "Yes, yes, of course." Jordan nodded. He paced back and forth, waiting for Ruby to finish her emotional outburst. Jordan gripped the edge of Betsy's bed and slumped down.
Jordan circled the cube table, taking in the holograms that he found not so much beautiful as distracting. It was too bright, flashy, and attention-grabbing. Baskerville Island was shrouded in a fog to protect it from human view. But there was no guarantee that distractions such as light or sound could distract human consciousness while sailing."Bastard! Your friend Haris betrayed us.""What ....?" Ruby was pensive for a long time. "No way, why he did do that?""What about the others?" Jay asked."I don't see them. To be sure, Haris is Jemma's Ally.""Hang in there," Jordan muttered, jerking his heavy eyes away.Once again, Jordan focused on observing the replicas. The city center was marked by the mayor's building, which was depicted as a magnificent castle. Two kings ruled Polis Sparta, but only one was in the hologram."That's right. My esteemed Archons, this is the latest Baskerville image if you approve of the Sparta Polis system. It's different from what you expected, isn't it?
Ruby's lips pursed like a duck's, flanked by Jay's veined hands. At first, Ruby's cheeks blush from Jay's sudden touch and intense gaze. But that question popped up and made it all meaningless. Jay only cared about his good looks. What an idiot! Ruby's mind was busy cursing the man. He asked for an answer but made it difficult for the answerer to speak. "Make sure you treat me if I say yes!" threatened Ruby, his connotations rounded. "Take it easy, Miss Sweetie." Jay lowered his hand, gave Ruby a brief caress on the cheek, and walked away. One kick landed on Jay's ass. His footsteps instantly faltered. "Stop teasing me with that smile. You're more weasel than wolf!" "Well, that's one way I appreciate your compliment," Jay said. "This conversation is so useless." Caught up in her grumbling, Ruby swerved. Jay swiftly put his arm around the girl, causing Ruby to join in observing the modest restaurant in front of them. "Chiquetta Dine &. Bar? Cute name," Ruby chuckled. Her mood qu
Jayden's lips were as soft as cotton candy. He gives Ruby a touch that stirs the soul. A breath that hunted with the night that would sooner or later leave. Ruby jerked her eyes to the light on the eastern horizon, dotted with his skin. "I must be crazy," Ruby chuckled. She glanced at Jay, who was fast asleep. Jay's chin rested comfortably on his head's shoulder so the girl couldn't move much. "What did I do to him? My alcohol tolerance level is shit," sighed Ruby. "Thank you," Jay said unexpectedly. Ruby gasped but was too dizzy to move. "And, sorry... for tearing your clothes," Jay said. Ruby let out a resigned sigh. Ruby's cheeks suddenly reddened, remembering what they had been through all night. At least the feeling of excitement was bubbling up instead. "Jay, do you realize something now?" Ruby looked up at the blue sky, followed by Jay, who changed to a prone position. His upper arm became Ruby's pillow, while the lower arm from the other side became his pillow. "You'r
