Chapter 384 VideoKing.
”Whew…” Isaac walked past the fallen bodies of rugged-looking, bloodied young men. Surrounding him were close to ten beaten-up former classmates of his.
Only one was still standing, Oliver. His hand that held the pocket knife trembled uncomfortably, and he kept backing off with cold sweat pouring down his back.
‘T-This is impossible…’ His eyes swam, trying to find a way out. However, Isaac walked over the young men and kept trekking toward him with coldness oozing out from the depths of his gray eyes.
‘He is weak… Weak!’ Oliver’s grip tightened, and he prepared to lung forward, slice Isaac’s gut open, and watch as he bled dry.
However, then, sirens rang in the street, and several police cars stopped in front of the alleyway. Behind them were pale-looking citizens, holding their cellphones. They called for police after the loud sound of fighting echoed from there.
Oliver’s friends shakily stood up with their bloodied bodies and ragged clothes. They quickly ran out of the alleyway. Instantly, the policemen left the cars and ran after them while shouting for them to stop.
Oliver saw this as his chance. He saw Isaac’s focus shifting to the police cars. He instantly spun around and began running in the dark alleyway. There was another exit only several dozen meters away from him.
Isaac turned around in haste and saw a silhouette of Oliver running away.
”No, you won’t!” There was a policeman coming straight toward him. But, under his shocked eyes, Isaac burst into motion and moved faster than any human had ever.
The policeman stopped with disbelief filtering his face, ”That’s… Not possible!”
Soon, Isaac reached Oliver, and his fingertips stretched forward. He was only an inch away from grabbing his collar and yanking it back. But then, his feet halted as he felt cold spreading in his body.
He dropped his gaze and saw the tips of his toes slowly disappearing, ”No!”
While running, Oliver turned his head halfway and saw that Isaac had finally stopped running. He instantly thought he was too exhausted after the fighting.
”Hahahaha!” Oliver’s taunting laugh echoed in the cramped alleyway, ”If you step out of your house ever again or tell anyone what happened back then, you are a dead meat!”
With those words, he finally exited the alleyway and soon disappeared into the crowd of departing citizens.
Isaac gritted his teeth and fell to his knees, ”This isn’t over…”
The floating camera descended from the sky and stopped before him.
Isaac stopped the recording and sent the video to his laptop. Then, everything became dark, and he disappeared.
…
Isaac reappeared in the World of White. However, he didn’t stay there dwindling around, instead logged out and woke up with a headset surrounding his vision.
He took it off, placed it on the box, and hid it in the wardrobe. Then, he went to take a shower to wash the cold sweat away.
During the shower, he saw his faint reflection in the shower closure. The memories of his battle with the young men made his legs weak and lazy.
After turning off the shower, he sat on the wet floor and tried calming his thoughts.
”Right… the video…” Isaac finally stood up after going over his thoughts for close to five minutes. He wiped his body with the towel and took a new garment from the wardrobe.
Then, he went to his desk, where his open laptop was already humming.
He instantly went to the video editing program and re-watched the whole ordeal. It captured everything from Oliver’s confession to the young men’s intention of killing him.
He edited a few parts and increased the volume of Oliver’s confession. Then, he also zoomed in on the young men for everyone to see clearly that they were indeed picking up lethal items.
After doing that, Isaac went to the VideoKing platform. It was the sister platform of StreamKing, and the streamers of that platform usually uploaded their videos to VideoKing.
It was a mutual agreement between the two websites. They are basically controlling the marker with each other.
I logged in to my alt-account. The reason was that Wraith was a famous alias, and it wouldn’t be wise to spread it with that, even though the video would get more famous rapidly.
However, he only needed a selected few to see it.
After I was only a mouse click away from uploading, I had second thoughts. Then, I completely closed the browser and scratched my head with irritation.
”I can’t publish it yet… Maybe with better evidence, so they will be jailed.”
”Knowing them, they will attack everyone close to me out of despair.”
”Sigh…” A long frustration-filled sigh left his mouth, ”Only way to get rid of them is to record them doing a criminal deed… And, I might have a plan for that.”
Slam!
He slammed the laptop shut, and the light dancing in the ceiling turned brighter.
…
The following day.
Isaac stood outside while clothed in winter attire. In front of him was a gray-colored car belonging to Michael.
Then, the door opened, and Isabella came with an edgy look.
Isaac opened the door, about to enter, then Isabella opened her mouth.
”Bring Luna to visit us one day. I would love that.”
Isaac turned his body around with a surprised look, ”Ah… Mm, sure.”
Isabella smiled and gave a peck on the cheek. Then, she returned indoors.
Isaac got seated in the backseat, the driver, Michael, turned the engine on, and the car soon left the yard.
They started their journey to Snowflower residence. They had enough wealth to live in the same neighborhood as Isaac, but they liked a more humble lifestyle.
It was mainly because Sin wasn’t born with a silver spoon, instead was from a very humble household. In the end, Mariah also grew to love their current lifestyle, which was far from what she had used to when she still lived with her father.
Soon, they left the neighborhood, and the car roamed the streets. The weather was getting colder after October passed, and November dawned.
The car turned left and entered a humble-looking neighborhood. The houses were mostly two-floor with small yards and no backyards.
