When Grandpa waved his hand, everyone in the minibar dispersed so that we could talk in private. "What happened to the poor soldier wasn't your fault. "I'll see to it that he gets a decent funeral and the highest recognition from the organization," Grandpa said to me. "You and your bullshit initiation." I responded, "I hate it when we play gods on our people," and I drank the alcohol all at once.

"Name your price." "I'm not taking the job." The line went quiet for a moment, then he laughed. "I'm sorry. Did I not make myself clear? I said, name your price. Whatever you want." "I said no." "$50 million." There was not a trace of hesitation in his voice, as though he had just tossed out a number at random. "$50 million in cash. You’ll get half when you go down, and the other half when you bring her up. This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer.”

I take the pen and I am about to start signing when I hear the loud roaring of endless gunshots, blood splattering allover my face as my uncle sprawls on the ground. His body lays in a pool of blood, his life slowly fading away, as he chokes blood. I watch in sheer horror as he struggles to breathe. He looks up at me, lifts his head a bit and a drop of tear streams down his cheek. "I'm... so... sorry..." Are his last three words. His body is sprayed continuously with bullets. "Go to hell!" I hear a familiar voice squawk. I look up in horror to see a man in a black mask standing at the door, a gun in his hand.

The candle that was shaped like a 2 on the cake felt like a joke. At the end of his call, as if Jason Smith felt guilty, he added, "I've neglected you lately, so once I'm done with this busy period, shall I take you to see the aurora?"

It was at this time that Jason's assistant sent me a message on WhatsApp, asking in that familiar way what I wanted reimbursed this time and telling me to just name it.

Connor smirked. He then pulled his sword away and thrust into Thud's from left to right. The skillful general never failed to block his attacks.

Waiting for Hunter adds up to the boredom I'm feeling. I munched the cookies lazily. The program I am watching doesn't sink into my mind.

*** Chester stood on the shore of an island, it was an enormous island of about seven kilometers length and five kilometers breadth. It seemed to him like it was dome-shaped with an opeque glass one could not see through. He made one step towards the glass then he heard lightning sound and flash of red and white lightening strike at once. "The last saint is at the shore, he has arrived to challenge our developments," he heard an announcement coming from the dome-shaped glass just after the lightning has struck. Instantly the atmosphere which had been gay turned cloudy and dark, rumbling continued to be heard from a distance and flashing of lightning continued.

My hand was shaking because I was afraid to do the thing I had never done before. The dark and narrow surroundings were full of guns pointed at around me. "Let me go, Lever because for what you have done, there is nothing left in Winchester, if you kill me, they will kill you either," President Hernandez told me. They didn't really know that my father's Rifle was still alive, they still believe that I'm the last Winchester. "If I'm going to die too? Why don't I take you with me?" I whispered to Jacob Hernandez. "Lever, release President Hernandez," Secretary Luke ordered me.

But when I counted the bills in the register and checked the orders in the system at the end of each day, I felt grounded in a way I had not felt in a long time. Dylan showed up every morning. He stood at the back of the line in his suit. When it was his turn, he ordered the cheapest toast-and-coffee set on the menu. I rang it up, took his money, packed the order, and handed it over. I did not charge him a cent more nor did I give him an extra piece of bread. He sent me a list of everything we had paid for together over the past five years.

Certain I would fulfill her indulgence of Caleb, just like the ninety-nine times before. When I didn't move, Caleb gave the people around him a look. They understood immediately and began speaking over one another. "Mr. Reed, you can't say that. How could you not know us? You're the one who hired us. Three hundred each. You said we had to help you get justice." "Didn't you say we should beat him until he admitted fault? Were we not harsh enough?" "Exactly. You said Mr. Quinn killed your child, and you said no matter what, we had to make him pay with his life. The chat records are still here. Look, and the transfers too..."

At that point, even Northbridge University couldn't protect Leighton anymore. Facing overwhelming public pressure, Northbridge University expelled both Leighton and Harley. They didn't even bother trying to suppress the online discussions, so the topic remained on the trending charts for days. A week later, Leighton reached out to me again through her lawyer. This time, she had finally agreed to the divorce. She only had one condition—she wanted to see me one last time. She chose that familiar cafe as the meeting place, and even the same table where I'd met Harley before.
