Getting out of the SUV he had been chauffeured in and watching it drive off, Xavier headed into the dojo. He was surprised to find that everyone had already gathered. However, immediately upon entering, he was bombarded with questions by the unit leaders. They couldn't suppress their curiosity, especially after seeing the state he was in and what he was wearing, but Xavier quickly shut them down. "Slow down, all will be explained. I just called you all here today to finalise how we are planning to take…-

Without even realising it, a few hours had passed since Xavier and the girl that he had saved had begun talking. They had learned quite a lot about each other, but neither of them could hide the fact that they were hungry. Especially after she offered to provide him with breakfast. "You aren't going to try and knock me out with the food again this time?" he asked. She laughed and reassured him that it was only for her safety the last time. She had no idea who he was and was also testing whether he…

"So how did your father die, and when did you get control?" Xavier asked the girl standing before him after hearing about the history of her organisation. She was very emotional as she narrated her past to Xavier. Meanwhile, it seemed as though he had hammered the nail in the coffin by asking her such a blunt question. However, he still wanted his answer and gave her a moment to regain composure before listening attentively to her answer. "He died of heart failure, but now that I think back on it, he…

Collecting his thoughts after all the answers he received from the girl that he had just saved from assassins, Xavier was surprised by her past. Her identity and how she came to be in the position she was in were like something out of a novel. However, since he had a literal system, Xavier struggled to believe that anything was impossible. Meanwhile, the history behind how the organisation she was in charge of came to be was interesting, to say the least. - The Skull Crusher Gang, a motorcycle gang…

No one got in Xavier's way as he moved around the large building to the point that it felt slightly unusual. But he couldn't complain, and it seemed as though they had all received orders to give him absolute freedom and treat him well. Barely remembering his way around and remaining on the top floor, Xavier was trying to get back to the dressing room he had initially been led to. With help from a few on the way, who were on guard and prepared despite not getting any sleep, he found the room he was looking…

At the crack of dawn, after receiving thorough medical attention and getting a few hours of sleep, Xavier lay in his infirmary bed with his eyes open. His hand was still tightly grasped around the handle of his gun. And after being shot twice, it was difficult not to be in pain. Especially since he refused to take any painkillers that would numb his senses and dull his reflexes. However, thankfully, one was only a flesh wound, and the bullet had passed cleanly through, while the other had struck his…

While Xavier stood before the girl who was the boss of the mysterious organisation he sought to trade with, the electricity in the entire building somehow managed to be switched back on. Following that were dozens of armed men that swarmed into the penthouse, aiming their guns at Xavier as soon as they did. Immediately after they did, Xavier grabbed his gun that was attached to the belt he had taken from the unconscious man. Then he aimed it at the girl he believed to be their boss. He wasn't taking any…

After questioning the assassin's offer to cooperate and wasting as much time as he could to reduce the bleeding from his wounds and think up a way to take him down, Xavier was hoping for a short while longer. However, the assassin suddenly lost his temper, realising the ulterior motives behind Xavier's questions. "Stop stalling! And it's too late now. I've decided I'll kill you, both those bastards that fought us off and the target. Then I'll keep all the money for myself," bellowed the last remaining…

While hiding behind a marble pillar in the penthouse, void of all light, Xavier was considering all of his options. He had already taken down 2 of the assassins, but he no longer had the element of surprise. He also didn't want things to drag on for too long. The reason for that was, there were too many contingencies that Xavier had to be aware of and attempt to predict. For example, if the electricity came back on, he'd be an open target for any snipers, but that would also mean that backup would arrive.…

Swiftly making his way through the gloomy penthouse, as soon as the assassins and 2 armed men protecting their young boss engaged in combat, Xavier made his move. Hesitating and being indecisive would only waste time and get him killed, but he also had to be careful and get his priorities straight. In his mind, other than not getting killed, he needed to save the girl the 2 armed men were protecting. Without her, getting away after everything settled down would be practically impossible. And so he headed…
