“Yes” Erika kept on nodding like a little rabbit. She finally realized her ‘mistake’ and immediately tried to deny.
But John didn’t give her any chance “You can’t take back what you said. Just like you ,I also like my partner to be honest.”
Erika’s mouth closed automatically but a small murmur still heard by John “Who is your partner?”
John smiled and didn’t explain. He knew when to stop pushing his luck.
[Congratulations user, you have completed the main mission]
[As per your reward, you will get a level up]
[System is upgrading to level-2 please wait patiently……5%...7%….]
John was stunned . ‘How can that be? I thought conquering her meant something else….’
He looked at Erika who was curled up in her chair like a cute rabbit. Her head was drooped down and she seemed like thinking of something.
‘…..seems like I really misunderstood.’ He couldn’t help but gulp a mouthful of saliva.
Erika didn’t know that John was thinking of some shameless things about her. If she had known no one knew what she would have done.
John remembered something and said “Erika can you send a chocolate box to my address. I had promised a kid”
Erika came out of her trance and didn’t dare to look at John’s eyes .She nodded meekly.
John asked curiously “I was saved by some masked men earlier. Who were they?”
Erika answered with a smile “It’s my secret force given by my grandpa. I have rarely used it .How are they?”
John said with a sense of respect “They are very professional and extremely decisive .”
Erika nodded with satisfaction .She knew how impressive her little force was. It was her trump card and she rarely used it .She wanted to surprise Luke one day but when she heard John was in trouble she decisively ordered her force without any thinking.
John didn’t know the implication of Erika’s action. He only thought that it was some kind of security.
John was also ignorant to the fact that he had created another storm in black market . His choice of number actually won the bet! Organizers didn’t bother about rules anymore and simply denied the result .They took control of the massive bet. Rich men didn’t stand there idle ,they used their own force to attack organizers.
It was simply a blood bath ,many people behaved like animals and tried to loot who ever seemed rich. They didn’t care about their lives. Bullets flied like rain and blood spilled like water. The entire black market became a burial for thousands of people including the man who bought fake file from John and the spy of Luke.
But the creator of the massive chaos already fled and happily chatting with his girlfriend.
In another luxurious office ,Luke sat with a deathly expression. It was as if he was raped by someone . Maya was sitting opposite to Luke with a solemn expression. No one spoke….
Maya tried to break the ice “Boss according to our intelligence John won a massive sum and escaped with Erika’s secret force. It seems like we underestimated Erika .”
Luke didn’t respond .He couldn’t extricate from the vicious circle of John insulting him and the anger that resulted from it. John’s voice repeated in his mind again and again
“AHHHHHHH” Luke suddenly screamed like a mad beast . His secretary was shuddered .She silently decided to crawl out of the office . But before she could do…
“Find out who is behind that call .I need to personally rip him into shreds and feed his bones to dogs. I can’t sleep thinking that he might be alive and laughing at me.” Luke slammed his table and roared with all his energy.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Maya nodded like chick pecking on rice and tried to get up from her chair but tripped by her fear .She scrambled to get her files and left the office in a hurry.
It was first time in his life that someone had actually scolded him .Luke felt his blood boil every time he remembered his voice. Maya already gave him the details of the spy including his voice but his voice didn’t match with John’s voice. Luke’s only lead was to ask his spy but his sources said he was already dead. Black market was already finished so ,it was difficult pin point who the culprit was.
He didn’t care about Erika’s force or John’s life .He could take it anytime. He had immense confidence in himself and his power. But the humiliation he suffered made his stomach churn. It was also his first time to have an enemy who was completely unknown.
“Whoever you are …wherever you are …I will find you and kill you .You just wait.”
John didn’t know that he was already marked dead by Luke. He was busy writing a note to his student in the colony
“Grandma its John ,your neighbor , I have some work so I will not to come to my house for a while. I have given some tasks to Chris .Please give him chocolates if he had completed. I will talk to you again when I come home.”
John folded the paper and gave it to Erika. Erika didn’t bother to look into it. She nodded and left saying “You can take rest in 2nd floor .I have arranged your room already and one more thing don’t ever come to first floor. It is my floor .Grandpa lives in ground floor. He had some business ,he will come in a while.”
“But I have to go by first floor right to go to second floor” John tried to tease his new girlfriend .
Alas she didn’t understand only and said casually “There is a lift .Use it”
John hit his own head and realized his girlfriend is little ……….different .He nodded as if nothing had happened and went to find his room.
Second floor was identical to ground floor .He started marveling at each corner and this time he didn’t hold back. He jumped up and down on the sofa and switched on the T.V. He was astonished by the HD screen .He was like a country bumpkin marveling everything he saw. There was no one to judge him so he behaved like his own house.
[Congratulations user .You have successfully upgraded the system to level-2 ]
[User :John(Level -2)
Character ……………..{exp 0/10000}
Note: If user experience goes negative then Eva will self destruct]
[Reward Panel
Inventory :3 lottery tickets]
‘Eva lets use a lottery ticket’ John wanted to try his luck one more time .
[Understood, Lottery wheel has been initiated ,user can say stop whenever you want]
This time John didn’t say stop in a hurry .He calmly watched a movie .After that he took a bath and ate some food on the dining table . Finally said stop in a casual manner.
[Congratulations user . You have won the knowledge of cyber security and hacking ]
John couldn’t help but rise his eyebrows . ‘Although I expected something like secrets of Devata realm ,it is better than nothing.’
[User do you want me to send the knowledge to your brain now?]
John said yes without any hesitation. Suddenly he felt a warm stream of energy flowing through his brain. He closed his eyes and consolidated his new knowledge on cyber security. John suddenly could remember many computer languages he barely even knew existed. He felt like he could hack anything as long as it was electronic .
‘It is just so magical . I can’t believe this simple microchip contain so much knowledge.’ Although there was no monetary reward ,if used well he could make money. He was very satisfied with the reward. .
‘I still have 2.5 lakh with me on hand. Let’s buy a good mobile and laptop online. No… only losers buy online. I have a girlfriend now ,I will take her outside tomorrow and buy at a shopping mall.’ John selectively forgot that he was a looser too till yesterday.
John got bored watching T.V and went to ground floor to look for the Old man . Old man was watching T.V to his surprise. ‘”How are you Old man?”
Carl laughed “You tell me. I didn’t want to disturb you when I came . I am bored in this big house, other than talking to my little pumpkin I usually watch T.V or tend to flowers in the garden . Now I have a new company.”
John smiled in response “Old man ,why do you call Erika little pumpkin .Is there a story behind?”
“AHAHA …I seem to have forgot to tell you last time. Yes when she was little ……….I will tell you next time OK .Lets watch T.V.”
John didn’t understand what happened .Old man looked like he was scared of something. He turned around to see who might be the fellow that can control the head of Martin group. To his surprise there was Erika standing silently leaning on a pillar holding knife.
John let out a dry laugh and coughed many times before pretending to watch T.V. Erika couldn’t help but smile at the 2 fellows who were pretending to watch a Urdu channel .Old man might have flipped a channel in a hurry .John could only nod to whatever they say even though he didn’t understand a damn. Old man on the other hand tried to take notes of whatever bullshit he listened.
“You can stop your acting. Its Urdu channel .I know you don’t understand a shit . Do you know what you are nodding to?”
Old man coughed a little and felt embarrassed .”Kid she knows many language be careful next time.” Old man advised John as if he was also a victim in the past.
John was curious “What did we nod to?”
Erika gave a grin “They are telling that men should cut their genitals to stop over population.”
Both Old man and John lightened their thighs involuntarily . They felt chills when they imagined that scenario. Cold sweat formed on their forehead . They both looked at each other and gave a dry laugh.
Erika couldn’t control her laugh any longer . She clutched her stomach and convoluted on the near by sofa like a mad girl.
