148 Cutting Of Ties, Escaped! (1/2)
”Hello Malia?”
”Yes boss?”
”I wouldn't be coming in for work today as I have quite a few things to take care of. Anyway I want your department to speed up the process, I want that extra dimension and the tournament ready to launch in three months or less. Coordinate with the advertising department, and all with the scientists working on the augmented reality tech. I don't need a sloppy job, or a game that would be filled with bugs. Speed up the process, but make sure your work is perfect.”
” Forgive me boss, but it's not as if we can't have everything ready in even less time than you asked, but why the hurry?”
”Let's just say I have eggs that I need to hatch. Just get to work...please. I'll call you once I'm done with what I have to do.”
I hung up the phone as I looked down at the very terrified maid who was responsible for taking care of Henry's house. The entire place had been ransacked, chairs were overturned, screens and glasses were cracked, and the chandelier was on the ground smashed to pieces, courtesy of an overly excited Monkey King. I may not say it out loud, but that kid freaked me the fuck out, his abilities were tied to his hair; he could make them as long and as wide as he wanted them too, and even make them so hard they could cut through steel.
But a display of his abilities were not what I wanted as I came here for something else entirely, he and the now awake Morrigan were the only backup I brought along since I didn't see a need to bring down the wrath of my entire army down on my brother and his wife.
Either way from the look of things, it seems they've skipped town, probably heard about the Carnage I had wrought in Moscow and felt it was better to disappear, but the thing is there was no place on this Earth that they would be able to hide away from me. Not unless they went and lived on top of Everest or deep in the Amazon.
”Boss I got something!” I heard
Morrigan say as she walked down from the second floor, a small laptop held in her hands. ”Traffic came located a black sedan leaving the Los Angeles just two hours ago. Since it's an old car, using wheels rather than a mag-lev engine, not much attention was paid to it. But I ran it's plates and realized the car is registered to Imperium Industries, which is to say it's a company car. But cars like this don't come out unless we're hosting an important visitor or the top brass feel the need to ride around the city old school.
So I followed it's movements, and check this out 15 minutes on the interstate, and the car went off the highway to an off-site private airstrip a little more than six or seven miles, smack day in the middle of abandoned community project.
The only reason I'm able to get something off that airstrip is because a private jet, registered to one Henry Wade has landed and taken off from there more than eight times in the last three days. The airstrip is off books, but the jet is still very much in the system. I took off about an hour and half ago, and current trajectory says it's heading for Miami.” She explained as she brought the laptop down to look at me.
If I say I don't know where or who Henry was running to, would be a lie. Last I remembered, I had an aunt and an uncle or two over there, and not just them, but also the rest of the entire extended Wade family, including the fucking elders that could make things a bit difficult for me. But I wasn't afraid of what's to come, and that's basically because I have no idea what.
”Alright Morrigan, we're done for the day. You and I both know where and whom Henry is running to. We should be expecting a call from them anytime soon, but regardless of whatever they might have to say, I'm still going to get my hands on him. Call that crazy monkey and let's go, also keep an eye out for anybody called Raul related to this family, that fucker killed my mother and I'll make sure he experiences hell on Earth before I kill him. now if you will excuse me I have to go log into a game.”

When I logged back into the game, every one was gathered on Deck, the Acheron did not seem to have sustained any major damages, plus from what I could see, everyone else seemed to be okay, so at the moment I felt it was better to pay a little attention to myself. After all, apart from new skills and titles, I also grew 6 levels. 3 from the quests I completed, and three from the trail of bodies I and my crew left behind in this war against the Dragon God guild. Either way it was a happy occasion, it meant I had grown stronger, and the loss of a level as penalty for dying didn't hit me as hard as it would have hit the players within the guild.

Even with the massive amount of skill points I had, there was no reason to allocate any of them. And that's because the bonus stats from my class and titles more than made up for the need to allocate those stats. I felt it would be better to keep them, they're still going to be used, just when they were needed. The {Pirate Hunter} title had me +10 to all stats, while the {World Shaper} title gave +3 stat points every level and quite the bonus to construction. It was as if I was being given the go ahead to really participate in the upcoming tournament.
However somethings seem to have changed. My faction was missing the coven of Angeles, I knew the system for the game would not make a mistake, so for sure something must have gone wrong while I wasn't here. What that meant for me and my crew I couldn't really be sure, we've sort of had a little bit of confidence to act since we knew we were in league with those guys, but it seems that might have changed.
My stats were looking good, and I was a lot stronger than before, however I still had to pay my skills a little bit of attention. I've received new ones since the last time I checked them. Besides those skills were a big part of the reason why I've not had my ass massively handed over to me by all the enemies I've faced so far.
