"Will I die or am I going to suffer to the death of universe" a familiar voice said in a depressing tone.
Remond woke up in cold sweats he didn't know what that dream meant and what he should do. He looked outside it was already sunrise he hurried to wake his sister up.
He woke his sister up and told her that it was time for them to leave.
Then, he went to the cabin downstairs to pay the bill. Remond had planned to get the required document from an acquaintance he had met during a mission when he was in the gang.
Remond was paranoid. What if the rich man was searching for him and found the hotel? what if the red devil gang got to him first? he was worried that sofie would get hurt in the process.
He carried sofie on his back and got in a train that was headed to the city where they could get the documents they needed to leave the country.
.....
On the other side Seth and his subordinates were looking for Remond and Sofie. As he was searching for them they went to every house in the town and looked for them and questioned the towns people.
That is when Seth came across a house, they went inside to question the family and saw the news on tv that the family were watching saw the news of theft and murder in a mansion. The news continued in the background.
When the thief was inside they took the daughter of the house hostage, and the heroic guard jumped in to save the little girl he was sliced in half by a single strike....
'A single strike it can't be can it' Seth thought to himself and was perplexed was it another metahuman or was it the same one.
He ordered men and went to go and investigate the situation in person.
After arriving to town Seth forcefully entered the mansion and investigate the guards body which was an evidence that the police were inspecting but when they saw the gang symbol on the back they couldn't speak.
The Red Devil gang was a very powerful gang that controlled the government and the police.
Seth recognised the sliced body to be same as the one in the building of henchmen. He then grabbed one of the guard and asked in a intimidating tone "what did he look like". The scared guard told him everything and said that a tracking chip was placed in Remond's jacket pocket and told Seth that they know where the thief is.
Seth ordered his men to scatter to look for the metahuman.
.....
Remond reached the city and went to meet the acquaintance leaving sofie in a hotel room to rest.
Remond reached a narrow alley the acquaintance once said was his hideout. The alley was full of trash here and there the kind that you would even dare to touch. That was how they were not caught until yet, the police wouldn't touch something as disgusting as this.
Remond stepped on the pile of trash and moved forward after a while he reach the end of the trash there was an old door. He knocked on the door... after few moments he the door opened there he was a tall and fat man the size of grizzly bear.
"Remond ! what do want?"
"I want some document"
The man knew Remond was poor so he didn't want any thing to do with him. He said in firm manner "I don't do free stuff get out of here"
"wait i have money" Remond said showing the stacks of money in a bag.
The man seeing the money couldn't refuse it "what kind of document?"
" To leave this country"
The man understood that and invited Remond in.
As the man made Remond document the system suddenly pops up.
[Ding]
Task : Kill the Man right after the documents are ready.
Reward : +10 strength
+10 vitality
....
'What why is the system telling me to kill him right after he finishes does it wants me to keep my money.' Remond thought to himself as to why the system is tasking him to kill an ally.
Even so he didn't want to kill him. The man finished making the documents for and handed them to Remond, he gave the bag of money to the man.
As he was leaving the man stopped him.
"Wait, let me count the money"
Remond was already on edge with the system's task, quickly grabbed his knife hidden in his jacket.
The man counting the money saw a flat sheet of wire and a chip, he immediately knew it was a tracking device. Thinking that Remond was a double agent he grabbed his axe beside him and charged towards Remond.
Remond, who was already grabbing his knife parried the axe and slit his throat in one fell swoop. Remond was also injured as the axe chipped a part his shoulder off.
[Ding]
The task condition has been met.
Rewarding the host: +10 strength
+10 vitality
The reward has been given to the host.
Remond tore the shirt of the man and wrapped it around the wound.
He quickly escaped the placed going through the trash again.
He reached the hotel and saw his sister sleeping peacefully. He was relieved to see that his sister was safe as the tracker made him anxious about her safety.
He quietly laid on the floor to sleep and fell unconscious.
"why are you sleeping on the floor my lord?" A dark figure said.
"You should sleep on the bed my lord, a noble figure like you shouldn't sleep here"
Remond wanting to speak but couldn't speak as if he was a mute.
KNOCK
The loud knock woke Remond up.
Who could it be, was it the rich man, was it the police or was it the Red devil gang?
