 Linda, Emma, and Nina sat at the dining table, each lost in their own thoughts. Emma's restless tapping on the ground made Nina feel a bit uneasy. "Hey, could you please not do that? It's disrupting my thought process," Nina requested, causing Emma to stop. "Sorry about that," he apologized. After a long moment of contemplation, Emma turned to Nina. "Hey, now that your thinking process isn't disrupted, mind sharing with us what you've been thinking about?" he asked. "Haha, funny," Nina mimicked, rolling her eyes. "You really have to tease me?" "Clearly, I didn't. You're the one making that up. I just asked a simple question," Emma replied innocently. "Oh, a simple question, is it? Coming from you, I know you're just doing it to get back at me," Nina retorted. Sensing the tension rising, Linda intervened. "Can we please not argue now? I mean, Gideon is with Richard, and we don't k...

Richard lay in bed, his eyes snapping open at the insistent buzzing of his phone. With a sigh, he reached out with his left hand, fumbling for the device on the bedside table. As he unlocked the screen, his heart raced with anticipation. Scanning the message, Richard's gaze darted up from the screen to the still form of Nina and Emmanuel, nestled together in peaceful slumber. He hesitated for a moment, torn between the urgency of the situation and the desire not to disturb their rest. "Hey guys," Richard murmured, his voice low but urgent. "I just got the address for Linda and Franklin. We need to head there now." Nina stirred slightly, her brow furrowing in confusion. "Richard, it's barely dawn. Can't this wait until daylight?" she mumbled, her voice muffled by the warmth of Emmanuel's embrace. Emmanuel nodded in agreement, his grip tightening around Nina. "Yeah, let's not rush into anything. We'll be more effective once the s...

Richard and Emmanuel engaged in hand-to-hand combat training, their arms wrapped with bandages. The training session was both challenging and intense, with punches landing and dodges executed skillfully. Emmanuel's progress was evident as he made it difficult for Richard to gain an advantage. Richard's agility became apparent when Emma attempted to shove him, only to have Richard swiftly dodge and execute a leg tackle, causing Emma to land on the ground with a pained "Ouch." "I almost thought I had you there," Emma remarked. "Well, you didn't," Richard replied, extending a hand to help Emma up. "I have to give it to you; you're a fast learner," Richard acknowledged. "It took me almost three months to reach an average level in combat, but you've managed it in just weeks. If you keep this up, you might even surpass me." "Don't flatter me enough, let's go again," Emma retorted, squeezing his hands in r...

As Emma punched the bag, sweat glistening on his forehead, Richard observed him closely. "Hey, even Cynthia can punch better than this. Remember, that's the enemy, not Nina, your girlfriend," Richard teased. "One word from you again and I'm gonna punch the life out of you! I'm already trying my best!" Emmanuel exclaimed as he punched the bag, breathing heavily. "Hey, take it easy," Richard intervened, pulling Emmanuel back from the punching bag as he was about to demonstrate. "When you want to punch someone, you have to feel more solid than the person you're punching. It's like when you want to punch a rubber, you have to act like a plastic. Or when you want to punch a rock, you have to feel like you're made of metal or iron," Richard explained, delivering two powerful punches to the bag, causing it to swing violently. After the demonstration, Emma followed Richard's instructions and landed a hard, heavy punch on the b...

As the escape unfolded on the road, the police remained present, securing the entire vicinity to assess the situation thoroughly. A sleek black Range Rover arrived at the scene, with Gideon stepping out of it. The door swung open, courtesy of one of the occupants. Approaching the scene, Gideon surveyed the area and observed a considerable number of his men from the Falcon Fraternity being attended to. They were being carefully placed on stretchers and loaded into the emergency bus before it departed from the scene. "What happened here?" Gideon demanded, turning to the head of his fraternity for answers. "Don't tell me a nineteen-year-old kid slipped away from the most feared group in the continent," Gideon growled in anger, his frustration evident. "Tell me he had help escaping," Gideon pressed as he advanced toward the leader, who recoiled, walking backward in fear. "Sir, believe me when I say this. This kid is not just an easy opponent. He's...

Louis Faustina here reporting live after the apprehension of the suspect involved in the assault on Mariano wonder kid, Franklin. The culprit has been captured by the police and is expected to face justice swiftly. The admiration for the wonder kid among many girls is evident, as some even resorted to throwing pies and eggs at the suspect as he was escorted to the station. This is Louis Faustina bringing you the latest updates on the unfolding events. As Nina and Emma watched the news, Emma stood up, grabbed the remote, and turned off the TV. "We have to help him. He needs us," Emma asserted. "You heard him, right? He said he doesn't need us," Nina fired back. "What?! Maybe he said that, but right now, he really needs us. Can't you see it? He's going to stand trial, and if we don't do anything, he's likely to go to jail," Emma said urgently. "He's in police custody. How are we supposed to help him when he's with the police?...
