Chapter 43
Dane looked different compared to the last time he had been seen. His hair was messy, with loose strands stretching out in sharp, pointy waves. His pupils flared a dark red color that seemed to radiate off him. It was strange, unsettling even.
Rick was stunned and did not know what to do. He shivered on the spot Axel had shoved him to earlier in a bid to protect him. When he looked up at Axel, he could not tell what was swirling in his mind.
[Kill Dane Cornwall…]
[Penalty for failure: Death]
Axel could not quite comprehend the severity of the new mission he had been given.
'Kill him?'
The thought of taking someone's life had never crossed Axel's mind. He never imagined himself in a position where he would need to kill someone… until today.
"Time to die, Axel!" Dane threatened and charged forward.
It was very obvious to Axel now that Dane had cornered him with every intent to kill. That was probably why the system had given him no alternative but to kill Dane.
