424 Maverick’s plan
Nancy stayed silent for a while. “You’re right. Maybe I shouldn’t have married him but rather tortured
him… maybe I shouldn’t have made an enemy out of Alex,” She mumbled inaudibly. 1
Every intelligent person always has a flaw. Maybe this is her price to pay for being too smart, she
sighed softly.
“I’ll send out men to take care of Ani on your behalf. After that, you won’t demand revenge from my
men. They followed my orders to torture Alex, so I’ll take the responsibility.”
Jeslyn looked at Nightcrawler who had his head down before she replied, “Fine… before I leave, can
you tell me one last thing?” when she saw that Nancy’s attention was on her, she continued, “Your
sickness, what is it about?”
“Why do you want to know? I don’t need your pity.”
“Who cares about that? I just want to know when I should prepare a funeral dress. I want to appear as
the most gorgeous guest to send you off…”
“Miss! That’s disrespectful!” Nightcrawler frowned.
Nancy raised her hand, “An honest enemy is better than a pretentious friend. Jeslyn is not wrong… You
should take care of your health, otherwise, you will turn out like me.”
Jeslyn frowned, “What do you mean?“.
“The rainborite ore disappeared after my involvement. Now it seems there’s no cure for the virus
anymore.”
Jeslyn bolted up, “Y–you- that was the effect of ATOM?!” She panicked. The way she met Nancy earlier
is not something she would want to experience. Not now, not ever?!
“Hm…”
Jeslyn was left looking dazed and foolish. The symptom is way too scary! She has to inform Doc Matt
as soon as possible. Maybe he can find a solution after seeing Nancy. She thought and immediately
ran out.
Meanwhile, at the Dark Age organization…
Almost two months ago, Maverick and his men were able to launch a surprise attack and sneak into the
facility. They caused a lot of damage until the Sovereign appeared
When the man arrived, he activated the protection barrier which forcefully ejected the intruders out of
the facility. Now, Maverick and his people couldn’t enter the facility after attempting to break the barrier
without success. Left with no other choice, they camped in the desert to carry out plan B.
Maverick and his men lost count of days and nights after the Sovereign arrived, so they have no idea
how much time had gone. They only go to sleep when their body feels tired and can no longer function
without sleep.
The ‘sun‘ used to disappear after 20 hours like Maverick calculated but now, the ‘sun‘ was getting
hotter and hotter by the hours. If they don’t get out of this desert as soon as possible, they might die
from the heat.
The Sovereign intends to give them a slow death. Watching them melt under the energy that was
transformed into sun in the Visual world, would be fun to watch, he thought. So he ordered his
computer experts to disable the ‘night‘ and to gradually increase the heat of the ‘sun‘.
Today, Maverick finally decided they’d push the plan B forward, else they’d all die.
At this moment, Maverick was seen in one of the tents, sitting in front of three computers that were
connected together. Code 2 and Code 10 were standing at his right and left sides, watching out for any
disturbance.
This is their last resort, so no mistake is allowed.-
Maverick inserted the chip he took from Damien into the system and started working. His goal was to
hack into the facility’s Core and upgrade the Visual World so he could steal control from them.
Whereas inside the facility’s control room, tens of men and women were seen sitting in front of large
computers, the rhythmic sound coming from the keyboards sounded like a song to the ears as they
tried to hijack the system from the intruder they just detected.
The Sovereign, a man who had a mask on and a black–hooded cloak, walked into the control room
with two masked guards behind him.
“My Lord!” The leader, who was supervising the team, got up from his seat and bowed in greeting and
the others followed his step.
“Hm… Why is he not quitting?” a thick voice sounded from the Sovereign. The mask gave no room for
his lips to be seen, except that there were holes in the black mask to allow him access to oxygen.
The leader of the team replied with confidence, “They are just putting up a last struggle., Be rest
assured, Sovereign, we will send them to hell in a while.”
“When you are done playing, bring me Alpha Chaos, with that said, he left the control room.
Outside, one of the guards asked, “Master, have you reconsidered? Do you want to spare the formal
Holy Son?”
“Spare?” the man paused and turned to look at him. “He brought war to my abode and you want me to
spare him?!”
“I’m sorry, Master. I’m just worried that the Young Miss will be upset if her husband dies.”
The man took a deep breath and resumed his walk. A moment later, he asked, “Didn’t Elder Five show
interest in her over the years?”
“Yes, Master, he still does.”
“Great. Release him and send him back. If he cannot make my daughter forget about Alpha Chaos,
then there’s no use for him to remain alive.”
“Yes, Master!” The two guards bowed, alas, not sure if this was the best decision.
In a dark dungeon, a silhouette of a person could be seen until the roof was opened, enabling light to
17.52
penetrate the prison. The man shielded his eyes from the brightness. When his eyes finally adjusted to
the light, he took the hands away from his face.
“How long have I not seen the light?” he mumbled,
“Elder five, Master has a task for you!” a voice said from the top.
Elder five, or rather, a face with a striking resemblance to Damien’s, looked up, trying to find the owner
of the voice. After not seeing the person, he registered he was being watched, so he lowered his head
and went on one knee.
“Master wants you to return and make Jeslyn fall in love with you.”
The guy was stunned for a moment before a smile crept onto his lips and he said, “This one obeys!”
The minute he said that, the surface he was standing on cracked open and an elevator–like structure
pulled out from the floor and moved him out of the dungeon.
“You are free now, return to your physical body!” the voice said again and the next second, the space
twitched and the unconscious Elder Five was seen Inside a room that was designed like a gaming
room.
The next moment, his eyes snapped open without warning. He looked around the room and his lips
stretched into a beam.
“Jeslyn, I’m back!”
