[Welcome back, player Frederick Dunn.]
It was displayed on the screen of the navigator watch that was wrapped around Frederick's left hand.
If you look it closely, there was a difference between his watch and Trevor's. Trevor's screen was in light mode, while Frederick's displayed in dark. Apart from that, the notification of missions appeared immediately as soon as Trevor's was turned on, but Frederick's greeted its user with a question.
[Are you ready to make trouble?]
After tapping the YES button, Frederick pressed the magnifying glasses symbol at the top of the screen.
[Please declare anything related to your new mission to collect rewards.]
"Go search someone named Daniel Tomlison around here?" Frederick whispered to the screen of his watch.
[Request accepted.]
[Looking for DANIEL TOMLISON within 1 mile of this place.]
[Target found.]
[Name: Daniel Tomlison]
[Age: 18 years old]
[Occupation: Student at W University.]
[Please click on the map to find the exact whereabouts of the target.]
Frederick immediately pressed the red dot on the map. The target was still around this TV station building.
[Target locked]
[Please choose the reward you want: $10, $100, S1,000, $10,000. Note: You can achieve more rewards if the total number of victims increases.]
Without hesitation, Frederick pressed the $10,000 button.
[Rewards selected. Have a good mission, the golden time is 10 minutes.]
"I don't need that long."
Frederick pressed the costume button on the screen. In the blink of an eye, his appearance changed. He was no longer wearing the white shirt he had worn for the talk show but instead a red-winged costume. He even had a red mask on his face.
[Invisible mode ON!]
After saying that, Frederick opened the toilet door. He was still in his dressing room in the TV station.
He saw that his assistant and other subordinates were still anxiously waiting for him outside. Funny how they did not realize how the person they were waiting for had passed them as fast as the wind.
Frederick opened a nearby window and jumped through it. A normal human would probably fall to the ground in a matter of seconds but the man immediately floated in the air using a wing-shaped robe on his back. He even had time to check his watch again up there.
"Where is he?" he muttered.
'There he is, sir. At the bus stop down there," said AI F.
Frederick flew closer to the said place. He saw that young man again after successfully embarrassing the popular entrepreneur in the studio.
Daniel Tomlison seemed so engrossed in listening to music from the earpiece attached to his ear that he didn't even notice that he was in danger.
"Too many people here. I just want to kill him," Frederick muttered.
'We can get bigger rewards if we kill more people, sir,' AI F evilly persuaded him again.
"No. I will just want to finish him off."
'How will you kill him, sir?'
Frederick glanced around. At first, he looked at the vehicles passing by nearby, but then his eyes turned to a large billboard standing not far from the bus stop. An evil grin appeared on his face.
"I found a way."
A bus suddenly stopped there, making four people immediately stand up, one of them was no other than Daniel Tomlison. However, when he was about to go up the bus, the wind suddenly blew the cell phone he was holding so that it fell onto the ground.
He gave a sign to the bus driver to wait for him, then intended to pick up his gadget. But again, the object moved far out of reach as if someone was pulling it on the other side.
"How strange. Is this a prank?" he chuckled.
"Well, because you like privileges so much, I will give you special treatment, dude. I will make you die instantly without having to endure the pain for long. Rest in peace."
Frederick marched Daniel away from the other people. Then, after the poor young man managed to touch his cell phone again, suddenly something unexpected happened. The giant billboard that was standing in front of him suddenly collapsed.
Everyone looked so shocked that they didn't have time to react, especially for Daniel Tomlison who had barely even had time to lift his head before the object smashed him with no mercy.
[$10,000 HAS BEEN ADDED TO YOUR BALANCE.]
"Serve you right!"
Frederick's evil laugh was heard as his body flew back towards the window earlier. Once again, he left behind the chaos and trauma he had created for other people.

A few minutes before.
Trevor's new luxury car was seen driving down the road at crazy speed. If he were an ordinary human being, he could be stopped by the police for breaking the speed limit. However, the man easily passed it using the invisible mode on his navigator watch. Not even a single city resident was aware of his presence.
'Are you sure about this, sir? I am not sure we will be able to get to the scene in time. Not to mention, it is very risky for you if the enemy king recognizes you now."
Amid Trevor's anger, AI T tried to calm him down. Artificial intelligence had attempted many times since its master became annoyed when he found out that Frederick Dunn was going to kill Daniel Tomlison.
'But I can't just keep quiet, AI T. That bastard has really gone too far. How could he kill someone just because of that? He is still an 18-year-old, though," Trevor said furiously.
'I know you can't accept it, sir. However, we still have to be vigilant. You can't appear in front of him yet in your current condition.'
Trevor was actually frustrated by that. How long will he have to give in to that monster?
In the past, he had his life destroyed by him. He can't believe that the enemy king wanted to kill someone just for a trivial question? He had really gone too far?
[Ding!]
[Time out! The golden time to save Daniel Tomlison has passed. You failed to get rewards!]
'The enemy king had killed the subject,' muttered AI T after hearing the notification
"Argh, that bastard!" Trevor cursed as he hit the steering wheel. He also pulled the car over to vent his anger. "This is so absurd!"
Do not take it wrong. Trevor wasn't angry because he didn't get the rewards, but because he couldn't accept the fact that he lost again to Frederick Dunn. He couldn't stop the man's cruelty from happening before his eyes -- again.
'I am sorry about that, sir. But you know that it's not your fault at all, right? It's beyond your control, so don't regret it,' said AI T trying to comfort him.
