Chereads / The Onyx Corp. / Chapter 7 - Upgraded System

Chapter 7 - Upgraded System

Luke Hensmann was interrupted mid-convo due to the alert that rang inside his head.

[System undergoing updates]

[This may take a long while]

[Find a suitable place to wait]

"Uh sorry Lily I gotta go. Something important came up." He said then he stood up and left the hall immediately. He went to the toilet and hid in one of the washrooms.

[Initiating update, this can be painful]

"....huh?"

Confused by the system's words, Luke was left speechless but before he even moved a muscle there was intense pain all over his body, he fell to his knees and covered his mouth as he was about to vomit a ton of blood. This made his cheeks swell and he could not contain the pressure of the blood he turned to the toilet bowl and released all the blood that was held back. It was intense, he looked at the hand that covered his mouth, it was full red. Then he started feeling dizzy and eventually, he fainted on the floor.

*Somewhere in the Dining Hall*

"Hey Lily, where is your new 'boyfriend', did he leave you that fast?" Eva said in a mocking tone to annoy Lily but her efforts did not phase her.

"I would not say that if I were you," Lily said while looking at Eva with deadly eyes.

That statement made Eva step back in fear.

"Besides, Eva, you forgot I'm your superior so don't say anything stupid." She continued.

"Okay, I'm sorry Lily, I did not mean anything I said," Eva asked for forgiveness.

"All right bestie, I forgive you, give me a hug now," she said, then hugged Eva.

*Back to the toilet*

The boy with white hair and a light skin tone was on the toilet floor, sweat all over his body like he was from running a marathon.

"What.... ..the... hell happened to me," he said to himself.

Then a blue screen appeared before him.

"Damn, that's a lot of changes!" He was surprised to see the system change a lot of things and add the missions and campaigns section.

Eventually, he left the toilet and returned to the hall to continue where he left with Lily.

*Somewhere in Planet Koro*

Knock Knock

There was a knock on the door which signaled the maid to open the door for the visitors.

"Hello there, your boss sent for me, can you send me to him," A man with a slightly buff figure said.

This was Marker. The maid said nothing but led him to her boss's room. They took the stairs and arrived at the room and the maid knocked weirdly. The person behind the door said, "Let him in."

The maid opened the door and gave way for Marker to enter and closed the door behind him. There was a man behind a table seating like a boss with their legs on the table. Then came a brief moment of silence.

"Marker what's up?" The boss said

"Your big forehead," He replied.

Then the two laughed then again there was a moment of silence

"Marker I kinda need your help against True North, they are killing my forces like ants."

"Don't worry Agent A I will send some help from some of my elites as they do another mission that I have assigned them to do,"

After a good while of chit chat Marker bid farewell and left the area in a rush.

*Somewhere else in Plant Koro*

There was an assassin running on top of the trees going in a particular direction. He was breathing very heavily yet traveling at high speeds. Then he reached a cleared area of the forest where there were other hooded people like him.

Then a good while a hooded person approached him.

"What happened? Did you succeed in the assassination?"

"No, I didn't but I can tell you something unbelievable. There was a new recruit for Onyx Corp and to be honest they didn't die to my elite neck shot!" The assassin got angry very quickly about why Luke did not die when the arrow pierced through his neck.

"You have to tell our Leader that we are going against a team that is unbelievably strong."

"…."
