The Last Embrace Chapter 382
Advertisement
Jessy was about to stand up when a guy suddenly slumped on the chair beside her, she raised her brows.
The stranger smiled shyly at her.
"I'm sorry if I startled you, Miss. I just want to have a company for tonight, looks like you also need one..." he looked at her face, looking like he was begging for her attention.
Jessy stared at the guy's face for a few seconds. "You want someone to talk to—?" she finally said.
The guy nodded his head. "By the way, my name is Liam and how about you?"
"My name is Apple," Jessy answered right away.
Liam grinned. "Nice meeting you, Apple!" he extended his right hand to her for a handshake.
Jessy shook hands with Liam.
"Are you from here, Apple?" Liam asked.
"Not really, I'm just new here in town. My family just moved here last two weeks ago," Jessy lied.
"I see... that is why I only see you here today. Is this your first time here in this bar?" he asked.
Jessy nods her head. "Yeah...nice place and the tacos here are tasty!" she raves.
The guy kept blabbing and Jessy listened to him attentively out of the sheer kindness of her heart.
"Have you experienced betrayed by your loved one before?" he suddenly asked.
Jessy shook her head. "No."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, I already had a boyfriend and our relationship still going strong..." Jessy answered.
"Lucky you. Me...I'm not so lucky. My girlfriend and I broke up last month because of this new guy that comes in her life and broke us part..." he said teary-eyed.
"Oh, I'm so sorry for your pain and loss," Jessy was feeling sad for this broken-hearted man. She was sadder that she will be leaving anytime soon and he won't have anybody to talk to.
Then out of the corner of her eyes, she saw newcomers entering the bar's entrance...three burly guys and one sexy lady.
"Damn! Why do they have to come here which is my favorite place to hang out!" Liam said gritting his teeth in annoyance.

Jessy saw the newcomers settling in table number three. "Do you know them?" she pointed her mouth to the newcomers.
"Yes. That woman is my ex-girlfriend and that guy who was holding her arm possessively is her new boyfriend, and those two guys were his bodyguards," Liam explained.
"Ah okay," Jessy said. "Liam...I'm sorry I can't stay longer and talk to you. I need to do some errands before I go home," she said. "Would you be okay—if you're alone here?" she asked.
Liam's face turned sad.
Jessy saw the newcomers' attention was shifted on them.
"I will go with you outside, this place no longer feels nice after seeing those parasites in the next table," Liam said in a hard tone.
Jessy and Liam stood up and left their table, they have to pass on the table occupied by the parasites on the way out...Liam was walking behind her.
Jessy looked at the men's faces. When they were already near the table, the leader innocently jutted his foot on their way wanting to trip them. She saw it first and she successfully avoided it but Liam was not so lucky...before he fell flat on the floor Jessy caught his arms instantly and steady him. "Watch out on your steps!" then she glared at the perpetrator behind them and continue walking towards the door.
"That's some feisty woman in there!" one of the men grinned.
A burst of boisterous laughter ensued.
Before Jessy exited the entrance of the door she glanced at the men that look like parasites to her one last time and gave them an icy glare. "Bully!" she gritted her teeth in anger if she wasn't careful enough she might already have stumbled to the floor, worst, face flat on the floor.
They get out of the entrance of the resto-bar and began walking on the sidewalk.
"Apple, come with me to my car, I will send you home," Liam offered.
"Ah, no need. I need to buy cashew nuts for my mother on that 24/7 grocery store over there," Jessy pointed her fingers at the store a few meters from them.

"Okay, I will go with you, I also need to buy some stuff," Liam said.
They entered the grocery store and bought what they need.
A few minutes later, they exited the entrance of the store.
They come face to face with the three bully outside the store, the woman that was with them inside the bar was gone.
Jessy sighed. It seems trouble loves to catch up with her all the time.
Jessy and Liam continue walking forward ignoring the men. When they turn around in the dark alley...
The guys were still after them and they were walking faster overtaking them...they were now blocking their way.
"Guys, would you mind accompanying me in my car over there?" the leader commanded them, looking at them menacingly.
Liam glowered at the leader. "Just leave the woman alone!" he stared bravely at their faces.
"No! This feisty woman will come with us...I don't like the way she looked at me inside the bar. She looks at me like I don't have balls...I will show her my balls!" the leader said diabolically, grinning from ear to ear.
The men around them laughed, the kind of laughter that sends shiver on any woman's spine.
They, they come closing in...leaving no room for their victims to escape...and a black van suddenly stopped beside the street and they were being pushed inside the van forcefully.
Inside the van.
Jessy and Liam were shocked to see guns being pointed at their heads.
The audacity of these men!
Jessy saw fear flashed on Liam's eyes, his body was shaking in fear. "Relax," she whispered to him.
The men around them laughed.
"Are you urinating now on your pants, boy?" asked one of the men.
"This woman here is braver than you," one of the men commented.
Jessy smiled slyly at the men around her. "You guys pick the wrong woman to bully...I am Bruce Lee's descendant..." she falsely claimed, then she laughed aloud hysterically, amused by her lame joke.
The guys around them laughed as well finding her joke outrageous.
Then Jessy looked at the men's faces seriously and sighed deeply. "I will give you one last warning guys...stop this car and let us go...and I'm willing to forget and forgive all of you," she said getting impatient.
"No way! You have a big mouth for a woman who looks like a fragile doll, you have such a feisty attitude. We will teach you a lesson once we will arrive at our destination!" the leader said menacingly.
Jessy felt annoyed. She needs to go back to the Facility for the blood transfusion, she can't waste another minute bantering nonsense with these idiots who have nothing worthwhile to do with their lives!
"Time is up! Bullies!" she grinned and look at everyone around her...freezing them...including the driver and Liam.
Everyone was already frozen, Jessy teleported the vehicle into the ocean...the vehicle landed in the water with a big splashed...the water instantly seeped inside the vehicle from every direction, soaking wet Jessy's clothing in the process. Before the car starts to sink...Jessy holds Liam's arms, made themselves invisible...she unfreezes the men and teleported herself together with Liam back into the area in the dark alley near to the store where they bought the cashew nuts...then Jessy unfreezes Liam...she then zoomed back into the ocean to see how the bullies were faring in the sea.
Back in the ocean.
Jessy watched the men as they were scrambling out of the sinking vehicle, they start swimming up in the surface of the water and swam frantically for safety towards the shore.
They were progressing nicely.
'Looks like they are good swimmers,' Jessy said to herself. She hopes this incident will stop them from harming and bullying innocent people again, if not she will come after them, and next time she won't be merciful to forgive them!

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
