Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 48 - THE BRIDGE
“What a failure…”He wanted to shout but no voice came out of his mouth. He almost tweaked himself until a little pair of shoes stopped in front of him and when he looked at it... It was a little boy giving him a phone covered with fresh blood. The boy holds the phone without disgust.“The lady on the stretcher dropped this earlier. Is this hers?” The child asked, looking at his grieving face.“No… It’s mine. Thanks.” He took it and smiled sadly at the boy.“You should change your clothes, mister.” He said as he saw Ferran’s clothes full of blood.“I will... Maybe later.”“Did she survive?” The boy asked out of curiosity.“Uhm... No. She didn’t.”“Ah...” The boy looked down. “Condolence, mister.” Ferran just nodded. “By the way, is she your wife, sister, fiancee, girlfriend---”“No. She’s just a friend of mine.”“Oh.” His lips formed a thin line. “Don’t be sad, mister. I know what you feel. You know what? I lost my mom during the epidemic...”Ferran froze a bit and cursed inside his m
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 49 - THE DINNER
“Ferran no!”“If I stopped. They will kill me---”“---and if you’ll continue, it’s suicide! F*ck! You’re insane!”“Yeah. I am.” Even though Ferran looks like he’s not afraid, his heart almost comes out to his rib cage when the car is in the air. Eight meters apart from where he needed to land.‘I can do it! I can do it! God, please help me!’ He shouted in his mind.Everything is like in slow motion. The car in the air, bullets, and enemies behind, a river under, and a part of the bridge in front of him with steels that will be used in the construction.“Yeah, it’s a suicide. Sh*t.”Luckily, he landed safely and no one could follow him. He drove the car far away from the bridge but unfortunately, the wheels at the back got flat. “Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t.”He had difficulty controlling the car so he quickly stepped on the brake before he crashed into the tree. He sighed in relief and got out of the car to check the wheels behind. He has no bullet wound but he made a facepalm.“I’m dead to Sanc
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 50 - THE CHASE
“Kuya...”Simon intently looked at him and pulled the trigger of his gun. Simeon held his breath for a few seconds before releasing it after he realized that it’s not for him but for someone who’s behind.“Who’s---” “Let’s get inside. Hurry!” His brother pulled him inside and immediately locked the door. “Dad, let’s watch a mo---why are you holding a gun? Is that real?” Blair asked her father in shock. She neared him and was amazed by the gun.“What’s happening?” Brenda asked who just came from the kitchen. She noticed the gun her husband was holding, and her heart raced.“They are here.” Simon looked at his wife with fear in his eyes but his wife just smiled sadly at him and pulled a gun somewhere in their house. “You and Blair, go with Simeon. I will handle this alone.”“No. I will not let you. I’ll stay.” Brenda firmly said and pulled a gun she hid somewhere.“Brenda…”“We talked about this before. Blair will leave, I will stay.” Simon knew that this would be a long and dangero
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 51 - THE HARSH TRUTH
Danryll and Zyrille were on their way home to their house in San Lorenzo when vehicles almost bumped into their car. “That’s a road violation. Overspeeding.” Danryll complained“Just let them. Maybe---” Zyrille couldn’t finish what she was about to say when they heard gunshots not far from them. “What was that? A gunshot?”“It is.” Danryll didn’t hesitate to follow those cars who passed by earlier.“What were you thinking, Danryll?”“I think someone needed help. Those cars earlier were chasing a dark gray car.”“Maybe the person in that car is being chased by the police,” Zyrille concluded but Danryll seemed to not believe that ‘coz there’s a big possibility that those cars chasing the dark gray car are the foes.“It is not allowed to shoot unless it is necessary.”“And what if it is necessary?” Zyrille crossed her arms while arguing to her brother.“Get my gun in the compartment in your front,” Danryll ordered his sister and ignored her question.“Danryll---”“Zyrille.”“Fine.” She

Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 53 - THE MALL
A week later... Ferran recovered and was discharged to the hospital. Blair went back to school as well but she seemed spaced out after everything happened to her family.“Our lesson for today is... Philippine history. You!” Miss Valdez, their history teacher again, pointed her finger at one of Trestan’s classmates. “What are the three countries that invaded the Philippines?”“Uhm... S-Spain... The U-United States, and Japan, Miss.” His classmate, Sunny Montes answered.“How many years did Spain colonize the Philippines?”“Three hundred... Three hundred...” Sunny can’t remember what she read last night.“Three hundred thirty-three years,” Trestan mumbled but he had no intention to coach his classmate but Sunny heard him and immediately answered.“Three hundred thirty-three years, miss.”“How about the United States?” Miss Valdez raised her eyebrow to make her more intimidating.“Hm... Uhm...” She didn’t know and there, she glanced at Trestan who did not look at her.“Alfarez, stand up!
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 54 - THE CULPRIT
“It’s the V Mall.”“How---”“---It was the only mall that has three floors in San Lorenzo,” Sanchez rationalized his thoughts.“What is the motive? Why did a bomb explode there?” Ferran said while trying to analyze everything in his head. That big question made them silent.+++“Boss---”“Don’t talk. I need time to think.” He clenched his fist and stuck his office table with his hand. “That Vergara is very audacious to compete with us. He doesn’t know what I can do to bring him down in a blink of an eye.” He laughed evilly. “Send our three men to his mall and put a bomb on a crowded day. Maybe, during their sale. Let’s see if he can handle those who’ll get affected.”“Noted, boss.” His secretary left him in his office alone to do what he ordered.“No one can get in my way. I will be the most powerful person in the world.”He contacted his accountant and trusted men to hear an update about the 78% of the organization’s income but no progress because of the code they can’t decrypt.He

Someone was calling him.“Hello, Mrs. Santos?”“Your sister’s asthma is attacking her again. I can’t find her inhaler.” Mrs. Santos informed him. He always left her sister in the neighborhood especially when he needed to go somewhere.“There’s an extra inhaler in her school bag, Mrs. Santos. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll be right back when I bought what I needed.”“No problem, Trestan. Besides, I like to take care of your sister. She’s really a sweet girl.”“Thank you, Mrs. Santos.” And the call ended.He immediately went to the second floor where the bookstore was located then he searched for a particular book about Bombs.
