Chapter 20: Can’t keep up with the Times
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Name: Aix. Male, 40 years old.
Aix had been working for Alexander more than a decade ago, starting from scratch with Alexander and building the massive Alexander Corporation.
At that time, he was Alexander’s right-hand man.
There are many things that can’t be done openly and have to be done in secret. Aix was that hand hiding in the dark, helping Alexander with the shady stuff.
He was ruthless.
He had taken dozens of lives.
Even if he died ten times, it wouldn’t offset the sins he had committed.
So John wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt for killing Aix.
Near a taxi stand on a certain street in Eric State, John stood in front of a bus stop, dressed in casual clothes and standing straight like a telephone pole.
Not far from him.
Aix was staring deadly at John, who was standing motionless in the distance.
A bus stopped at the bus stop.
John turned and pushed his way through the crowd into the bus.
Aix, who was far away, also reacted quickly. He rushed onto the bus in just a few steps.
John found a random seat and sat down. He looked at Aix, who had followed in, and a creepy smile appeared on his face. Everything was going according to plan.
A series of operations.
John followed the planned steps and shook off all the people following him. The police officers following behind him were also confused. How did he suddenly disappear?
Of course, that didn’t include Aix, who was in front of him now.
It wasn’t that Aix had a high level of tracking, but that John had deliberately let him follow him.
…
The bus gradually left the city center and headed towards the outer ring.
Eric State was huge. There was an undeveloped primeval forest in the northern part of Eric State.

It was a very famous tourist attraction now.
The bus stopped.
John walked down, his gaze focused on the primitive ecological forest.
John glanced at the clock on his wrist. It was exactly 3.30 PM.
John stood outside the gate of the scenic area and looked around. He seemed to be looking for something when he suddenly looked to the side and saw a supermarket.
This should be the supermarket that he foresaw, right?
John started toward the supermarket.
At this moment.
Eric State Police Station Headquarters.
In a conference room.
“I’ve had a bad feeling ever since that kid left. Something is probably going to happen.” Bell, the old police chief, suddenly said, as he exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes drooping down. The smoke swirled in front of him as he listened to the reports from various parties.
Bell paused for a while, then continued, “I was thinking over it carefully just now.
“When I sent John out.
“I just feel that there is something wrong with this kid. There is something in his eyes that I cannot tell.
“This kid covers himself with truths and lies, I am truly unable to see through him.
“But now I seem to understand something.”
Everyone in the conference room listened to Bell’s reasoning seriously and looked at him.
Bell ignored everyone’s gazes and continued, “From start to finish, his emotions have been extremely unstable. The type that could erupt at any moment.
“In the interrogation room, the emotions that burst out of him were intentional. His intention was to tell us that he wouldn’t tolerate it and that he would take revenge in very intense methods.
“He won’t be patient for long. An accident will happen within the next two days.”
After Bell’s words landed.
In the conference room, everyone looked shocked.
On the large screen in front of the conference room.

Eric State’s city map transportation network was presented to everyone in different forms.
“This afternoon, John has shown us his terrifying power once again.
“He has plenty of counter-reconnaissance methods.
“The group of fellow policemen we sent to follow him were all shaken off by him in an ingenious way.
“Some of them were very coincidental. So coincidental that it makes me feel incredible.”
After a while, a person in charge of tailing John said.
Eric State, inside Alexander Corporation Building.
Since Alexander’s daughter’s accident, Alexander had his eye on John.
At this moment, a middle-aged butler appeared beside Alexander and said respectfully, “Sir, Aix just texted me. He said he’d bring John back tonight.”
A fierce look appeared in Alexander’s eyes as he said lightly, “En.”
His voice was hoarse and cold.
The middle-aged butler was about to turn and leave when Alexander called him and said, “Tell Aix I want him alive.”
The middle-aged butler said respectfully, “Yes.”
Then, he turned around and left.
In the sky, dense dark clouds appeared, and there was an oppressive atmosphere coming from it.
Today was destined to be an extraordinary day.
John wanted Alexander to know that his anger was about to burn into his Alexander Corporation.
He wanted him to atone for the crimes he had committed back then.
In a supermarket outside Eric State’s primeval forest.
John was at the counter, speaking to his boss. “Give me a lighter and a box of cigarettes.”
The middle-aged boss asked, “Which brand of cigarettes would you like?”
John didn’t usually smoke. Even three years ago before entering prison, he rarely smoked.
Because Alice didn’t like the smell of cigarettes.
So he had quit smoking a few years ago.
He thought for a moment and said, “Give me the Arthur brand cigarettes.”
The supermarket owner turned around and handed John a box of Arthur cigarettes.
It was one of John’s favorites from before.
John took out ten dollars and handed it to his boss.
He was about to turn around and leave when the boss called him back. “Hey, man, you didn’t pay me enough.”
John looked puzzled and asked his boss, “Isn’t the Arthur brand cigarettes nine dollars? Plus the one dollar lighter, isn’t that ten dollars?”
But the supermarket owner told John, “The Arthur brand cigarettes cost 11 dollars now. The price you said was the price three years ago.”
John looked embarrassed.
He didn’t expect that the price of Arthur’s brand cigarettes had also increased over the past three years.
He suddenly realized that he couldn’t keep up with the times anymore.
Hence, he took out two dollars and handed it to the supermarket owner.
Actually, John knew all of this.
He did everything according to the steps he had foreseen, including talking to the owner and even feeling awkward.
Although he didn’t know why he had to do this, he believed that it had its reasons.
After leaving the supermarket,
John walked into the forest.
Meanwhile, Aix, who had been following John, silently set off in the distance.
Inside Eric State’s primeval forest.
John walked forward at a very regular pace.
Every step he took was done according to the steps in Foresee. The distance and frequency of the steps were all intentional.
Everything was exactly as he had foreseen, precise to the second.
After obtaining the Foresee ability, John’s sensitivity to time far exceeded that of normal people.
Because to follow the steps given in Foresee, his every step had to be timed precisely in seconds.
There couldn’t be the slightest mistake. Otherwise, the outcome would be completely opposite.
John had also trained his sensitivity to time under such extreme conditions.

The advent of the Empire’s ancient enemy could upset the careful balance of power throughout in the Sol System. When Hod is invaded by the Empire, Andros Aeton is pressed into their service and his people are held hostage. Unbeknownst to him, factions within the Empire vie to use him to their own ends. He must claim his heritage if he has any hope of escaping the clutches of the forces that seek to use him." This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.
