Evalyn turned to the soldiers in the area before leaving with Doctor Lock to get her mother. "If anyone shows up to prevent me from getting my mother, or a single person fires at my mother, I'll find all of you and slaughter you mercilessly—after killing them and every solider in the area." Everyone's bodies shook with fear. "So leave and tell every soldier present about what you've seen here." Evalyn ordered. "Don't hold back or be diplomatic because if my mother dies today, everyone in this…-

Doctor Lock looked at Evalyn in confusion. "Communication error? I'm confused about what's happening." "The soldiers my mom, while I'm helping clear these wards, are awaiting a hospital official to release my mother. However, with a discharge, no one is coming. So the soldiers won't release her, and I need a hospital management member to get her released." The doctor looked at the soldiers and then back to Evalyn with trembling eyes. "Y-You want me to give an order to soldiers?" "Correct." Evalyn…

Kaze headed to a wooded area past the mansions. When he saw his business partner, he gave him an icy glare. "H-Hello, Kaze." Daniel said with nervousness in his sky-blue eyes, "The soonest that I can get you to—" "Are you a drunkard?" Kaze scoffed angrily, "What did I tell you about—No, don't answer that; just show me the warehouse." The man swallowed nervously in acceptance. "Right this way." There was a skycruiser hanger on the other side of the wooden area. It was a large grey building with a…

Evalyn looked at Doctor Miser, the nurse, and the soldiers. The four men were liabilities, and the woman was both a liability and a casualty. Kaze's words resounded in her head. — "The world is simpler now. Don't help people; if you're forced to act, don't leave witnesses." — She swallowed and prepared to act but froze when she saw Doctor Miser's arm. It had frostbite developing on it. The blonde realized something horrifying: everyone would know who attacked the doctor. Worse, he was the man…

—Marysworth Hospital | 2 Hours Before— Evalyn walked with Ray, the rude soldier, to the main ward of the eighth floor. The more they walked, the grimmer her face got. "You get it?" Ray scoffed. Screams were coming from rooms on every side. Nurses were treating fellow nurses in areas protected by soldiers using silenced assault rifles identical to the one Ray carried. The walls were riddled with bullet holes, and blood from bodies dragged from rooms lined the floors. Evalyn took a deep breath.…

Everyone in line to learn the cultivation technique stared at Omar, who was still frozen with his fist six inches from the emperor's face. It was a surreal sight and an offensive declaration of the athlete's powerlessness. He wasn't even considered a threat worth moving out of the way of. Kaze clapped his hands to break people of their silence. "Taryn Shaffer, please tell everyone here the suggestion you kept whispering but were afraid to present." Her eyes trembled in fear. The blonde was terrified…

Kaze walked from location to location, helping people work through their problems. Every situation was different. Sometimes he provided suggestions on increasing efficiency; other times, he focused on creating incentives for leadership. The locations of the scrolls were set up so that there was at least one group in sight of another. As a result, once he introduced the circle method, it spread in a chain reaction. But when he got to the thirtieth group, there was an anomaly. The only group in sight…

Once the assignment began, Kaze walked outside into his faction, admiring the fruit of his labor. In his past life, he ran around trying to find shelter with his parents at this juncture. They spent a week starving, broken, and alone. This time around, Kaze's mother and father were resting peacefully, and he and Evalyn would be eating well in a gated community with the power to protect themselves. "Hey, Emperor!" "Hello, Kaze!" "Thank you for allowing me to join, Faction Leader!" "Hello, Leader…

—2 Hours Prior: Immortal Skye Amphitheater. Immortal Skye Induction Ceremony— In the center of the faction, there was a crystal blue lake. On one end was the head mansion where Kaze, Evalyn, and Daniel slept and held meetings. On the opposite side, facing the mansion, was a large amphitheater with a dome and stage surrounded by stone steps that moved into the Earth. It was a massive area that partially existed before moving into the area. However, Daniel expanded it by having a team raise hills on…

Knock! Knock! Evalyn woke up to the sound of two loud knocks on the hospital door. "We're coming in!" The doctor from the night before yelled aggressively. She could hear multiple voices and footsteps following his. The sun was bright already, showcasing that she had slept longer than expected. She looked at her mom, who was still sleeping, but her face was filled with slight pain. The door thrust open, and the doctor entered with five soldiers, each with camo gear and assault rifles with…
