Chapter 3 - Chapter three: a deal

Charles's pov:

"No" l said. " I'm not going stop writing that book, no matter what you offer" l said seriously. "What is your problem boy?" Before Mr Chen could finish his statement l replied "YOU". He looked at me confusingly. " Yes you, why is it that you are always around to discourage and not encourage?. Why is it that you rich people, just love to impose your power on the weak?. Why can't you just leave me and my mom in peace?. And besides you have never given us dime in your money before, so why are you suddenly willing to give us now?"l asked him. "Listen Chen ,we don't want your dirty money, so please, just leave my house now?" My mom said. I didn't even know that she was behind me , listening to our conversation. " Are you kicking me out, Nana?" He asked her. "You are not welcome here, Charles see him out" she said with fire jumping in her eyes. "Mr Chen, please" l pointed at the door, signaling him to leave. "Fine then, but just remember Charles, if you don't stop that writing book, there would be consequences" he said before leaving. End of flashback.

I don't know why my uncle wants me stop writing ' Godslayer ' and don't care to know. And l won't stop writing it. Maybe l should just stay inside for now, besides if l go out there people would just start gossiping about me again. And l hate hearing them gossipping about me. Luckily l don't have work today, so l won't have to go out.

Micheal sat down in his cell with his head down. He is so confused , he doesn't know what to do. He has been interogated, and he has explained everything to them. But nobody believed him. He was thinking alot and before he knew it he fell asleep.

Micheal's pov :

I am so confused, l don't know what to do, my daughter is out there waiting for me to rescue her. And now l am stuck in a kidnapping and human trafficking case, how l am supposed to get out of this. I was thinking about this, when suddenly l drift to sleep. I found myself admist a few houses, l saw a soldier in red armour and the girl in my dreams with snake like vines strangling her, she was playing a flute and then she stopped playing and started screaming " save me". The soldier tried to reach her but he couldn't move, l tried to reach to but l couldn't move either. I looked at the soldier, he was wearing a helmet so l couldn't see his face but his eyes, he has my eyes , he even has a scar on his left eye just like me. "Hey wake up" a guard woke me up. "Get up someone is here to see you" he informed. I followed to where my visitor is. She is a beautiful young lady, I've never seen her before. I sat down, " who are you, state your business" l said. " How did you know l am here for business? " she said. " Your dressing looks simple but every single piece of clothing on you spells ' l am worth alot of money' obviously you are not an ordinary person. Someone like you won't come to see some one as wretched as me if it isn't very important. So state your business" l said. " You are a clever man, l won't beat around the bush, let me introduce myself, l am Martha Johnson, personal assistant of the owner of abacus enterprises, Mr Andrew Chen. My boss sent me here to make a deal with you" she said.

" You mean you are here to make me choose between the devil and the blue sea, you chose the time when I'm in trouble to make a deal. What are you up to" l said seriously. " Don't you want to find your daughter, we can help you" she said. I fell silent after hearing that. " If you agree to my proposal l can to where you can find her right now". " What do you want?" I asked. " This is not a good place to talk, first agree to do whatever we ask you to do and in return we will help you find your daughter, then we can talk" she said. "Fine, I'll do whatever you ask of me but you have to keep your part of the bargain" l said, " don't worry my boss never breaks his word, you will be released from custody and will come with me" she said. " Okay" l said simply. *****

Charles's pov:

I've updated today's chapter, l decided to also do a livestream of me reading it. I wear my mask, l always wear it whenever l'm live streaming. I went live and began reading____ Darius and Nichole panicked when they realized that they were surrounded. Darius asked his sister " what should we do now ". "Prepare to fight" Nichole said. " Why don't you just come out already" the general shouted. Nichole and Darius prepared their weapons, using the little she had, Nichole cover the inside of the cave with darkness. The general motioned the soldiers to go in, as soon as they entered Darius slited their throats, it was so they didn't see him coming . The general drew his sword and activate it's power. Darius knew what he was planning to do, so he quickly dragged his sister out of the cave. And as expected, the general slashed the cave, destroying it completely. As soon as Darius and Nichole got out, the soldiers began to attack them. The general smirked and watch them fight. The both of them killed a couple of soldiers, but as they were still injured, they soon got exhausted and the soldiers started to get the upper hand. Nichole got cut on her arm, her thigh and her back while Darius got cut on his shoulder , his arm and his thigh. The both of them were losing too much blood. Just then, Darius remembered that he had a little amount of illusion powder with him. He quickly took it out, and sprinkled it into the air. This confused the soldiers, and the both of them seized the chance to escape. Thanks to the general, the soldiers got over the powder's effect in no time. And they chased after the two siblings, they kept on chasing after them until they reached the edge of a clif. They began to fight again. After a while Nichole saw that there was a flowing river below the clif, she held Darius by his shoulder, and said " no matter what happens you must live, you have to stop him no matter what it takes". And with that she pushed him off the clif. "Nichole" he screamed as he was falling. Nichole managed to kill most of the soldiers, she kept fighting until she could no longer fight anymore. She fell on the ground after using up her energy, the rest of the soldiers gathered around herand started cutting her from all sides. "Stop, don't kill her , let me do the killing, my sword is thirsty for blood" the general said. He stepped forward and smirked wickedly at her " farewell baby girl" and with that he stabbed her to death. "should we leave now, general "one of the soldiers asked, "No we should wait a while , l don't think that boy would give up on his sister so easily"he said Meanwhile, Darius managed to swim out of the river, despite his injury, he started to climb back to the top of the clif.

After a while , he managed to get to the top. The first thing he saw was the lifeless body of Nichole on the ground. He quickly went to her and knelt beside her, he took her in his arms with tears falling uncontrollably down his cheeks. The soldier started to laugh, he was boiling really hard now, his sister was the only one he had left in the world and now she is gone. They killed her without any conscience. " I'm going to kill them all" he thought dangerously. All the he energy lost due to fatigue came back . He killed all of the soldiers with one strike each, now it is the general's turn to die. " You are not going to leave here alive "he told the general, " funny l was about to say the same thing to you" said the general while drawing his sword. The both of them began to attack each other, the fight was brutal, and the general was gaining the upper hand. "Do you really think you can defeat me boy" he said . This fueled Darius's anger. And unexpectedly Darius unleashed the power given to him by his father. The general was shocked, Darius blasted him continously until he couldn' stand up, "this is for my sister he said before killing him. Then went to his sister he gathered her in his arms and then buried her there. " Don't worry sister I'll finish what father failed to accomplish.
