《Lethal Virtue》Chapter 4:Old Times
Advertisement
Moments after the incident that has occurred in the homeless shelter and the 3 arrived at the house, "well, for now, it seems we will need more help for this and I'm pretty sure the service we work for is all bought by them everything is, that is why we have to find out who they are and for that we will need more help from an old friend" said Paul, "Do you think the old man will still recognised us since it has been a long time Paul?" Said Archie sarcastically, "He sure will because of that damn bet we did a long time ago" " well it seems that you lost mate" said Archie, "indeed I did, now Charlotte, Melody please stay safe both they'll probably try to locate the people that left the spot so you to stay home for this days we both would be calling you two every 3 days for now ok?" Said Paul, "Yes we both will".
The next day 3 in the afternoon,Archie and Paul went to the direction that it was given to them a long time ago by the one who teach them everything they knew about of how the world of crime and vandalism works, "This street right here right?"asked Archie while looking around everywhere and just seeing a full of half-riches houses that regular families could live in. And there was the house, similar to the others, "if is it really this one it seems it is exactly as the one he always wanted to work as, a family" said Paul with a smirk on his face that represented familiar faces and good memories with the people he stayed all day and learned with.
Knock knock the sound of the door, from the other side of it was an unfamiliar face of a man they never saw in their old times "Hi, and you two are?" Asked the man, "We have came to talk to the man who lives in this house" said one of the two, "why?" The man asked; suddenly a extremely familiar voice came from the deeper of the place with a strong but happy voice "Am I looking correct for what my eyes can perceive?" Asked the man behind "Piers" said Paul being glad it was the old man, "You lost a bet in this glorious day Paul" expressed this man named Piers, "how you doing in life and why is the reason you lost our bet that you would of win if you probably came back but not for help", "Well it seems I and Archie lost and anyways here is your money and what help i need" said Paul,"Keep it for now and you handle it to me when this business of yours is done" Said Piers.
They all set down on the table of the main hall that was big enough to get more than 10 people on it, a rectangular perfect for a position for all looking at each other and having conversations with good vibes,"You all get down here and meet the boys, they came for help and not for a meeting, I guess they two deserve a beating on investigations" Piers said calling out loud everyone in the house to get in the main hall and greet them. They were 4 members including the one who opened the door,"You guys probably remember Charlie and Perry Bond right? the twins really wanted to meet you both, there is Michael the one who greeted you both, at the other side of the hall in the kitchen is Victor with that serious idiotic face of his, and at last the one that's coming down the stairs is Eleanor, meet each other and probably in an hour we will be ready to start with this business of yours".

All of them greeted them, the twins were both blond and the same hight, Charlie and Perry his sister were both happy with hugs and asking about what was going on with their lives,they looked innocent but were the smartest and more agile on technology and computers, there was Michael Briggs a Chinese man fit for fighting but also knowledable on the things that go through an investigation and he greeting them with a hand shake and a "I am sorry we have to be secure on who is on our door that is why I acted that way". Victor Lebowski seemed the man that was the strength of the group by how muscular he was, balding hair black and a scar on his upper lip with a tattoo on his neck of a monkey which they weren't questioning and greeted both with a hand politely and a palm of top of their hand with a serious "hello" and a "nice to meet you both".
Then there was Eleanor Rain, A woman that looked strong and not insecure of herself with surely a massive expertise on what she does best, hunt the murderers and thief, she was the most cleverest besides Piers that lived on the house, Her beautiful and seductive black hair with a face structure that just amazed even the tasteless men, but she was not into that because she loved her job more than anything, and at last is Piers Donovan, the man that created basically the thing that is made in this house, a work of detectives and at the same time a family, which now will get 2 more members and that really put a smile on his face, he was a old man on his 60s that was wearing a knitwear sweating that he probably seemed more of the old pal and owner of the house already now, cut short gray hair with a corporate gray beard and a smile as big as the sides of the ocean, all there drinking and talking right before the hour of the reason starts.
"Didn't you left the city Paul?" Piers asked, "Yeah but came back, everything for detectives like us outside this city is just plenty simple, this is the right place that needs a good cleaning" He said,"Well welcome back and have a safe visit on Grand Vilstine again Paul" Piers jokingly said. Everyone was sitting on the table while Michael was serving and making the food as a sorry and a welcome for Archie and Paul, it was delicious home made food that his mother in China gave him on his kid times that now he can served to the ones he is with all the time.
Now the dining is done and everyone is ready to get their hands on the business, all of them decided to go to their "HQ" which it was the basement but it was not looking like a normal basement instead it was high technology with guns and a bunch of retro machines, Piers gave the first question,"So what is it?" He asked and Paul began to shoot the gun of words "Basically the case is this..." He started explaining about the Parks sisters and how they started to look for Melody," Then we arrived on the classic place of a gang this time it was the Daggers which kidnapped her, there was their boss Morbi and his right man Heimar, the two basically didn't have too much information about the hole thing but something weird their boss Morbi had which made him way faster and had a lot of strength which both abnormal, we took him out but at last he gave us a location and called himself a Blood Reject which we both didn't understand what he meant by that" "Blood Reject? well that's a weird thing to call himself" Victor said,"uh, I heard that name before, Perry and Charlie could you both look into our files to get anything related to that" Piers said, "sure thing boss" both said as they inmediatly started searching on the high advanced computer, Paul continued talking,"Then in that note there was the direction of where was she, it was a facility below a homeless shelter and inside there there were putting drugged people in electric cages to use them on surgical chairs and inject some kind of blood kind of looking liquid on their veins, a bunch of the ones injected just collapse on the floor and they were taken away while very few little were ok but taken to another place which we didn't look too much into, we found Melody in one of the cages and we decided to free everyone in there while making some kind of riot so everyone could go to the exit, also in that same place was that guy from the news John Miller and his 4 other men while walking with another guy who seemed kind of the boss of that facility, that is why we need you guys help to figure out what's going on in this city even if it's chaotic already but this seems way bigger than just normal crimes" He said. "Well now we are in the old times except now with new members, alright everyone let's get to work, PC (it's the way everyone in the house calls Perry and Charlie Bond as short) search up about blood rejects in our files as I mentioned before and what that kind of blood liquid might be, Eleanor and Michael you two get out and without being both noticed go to that homeless shelter and search for clues of that underground facility and report inmediatly, Victor and you two guys with me, alright everybody let's get to work good thing they caught with no other cases because this one seems like a juicy one!" Piers said exited as Victor,Paul and Archie went to his office which only contained a desk and a picture of his cute golden retriever. "So John Miller was there right? then it would be better to go ask Frank Wilson the bank's owner to see what Miller acts and it's like and why he was in a place not suitable for a guy like him that only likes to steal and deal, now if you guys let me I will go change and put on my detective clothes for the theme" Piers said, "he sure as hell is exited for this one mate" Archie said, "Yeah he is and we both better be" Paul said while Victor being with them and not saying nothing.

They arrived at the lonely yet far bank from Grand Vilstine and it seemed open but not with a lot of people on it, they showed their detectives badges even though they a worth a damn in this city, so they went straight up to Wilson's office and there was him just calmly looking at the papers he was signing and writing on, he said hello and "what brings your visit for detectives even thought it won't change a damn in my situation because of this mess shithole of a city", "I am sorry for what happened in here but we are just here to ask you some questions about what happened and why Miller came specifically to this bank" said Paul, " well if it's even worth a damn even if my son was shot it's all too late now so alright" he said then proceeding to explain everything of what happened,"it's good that your son is alive Frank" said Piers, "now my friends and I will have a chat in another room if you'll excuse us" he said, "sure whatever" said Frank, they went to another small room away from Frank and his security, "this is just normal thing from him, a casual steal of money no difference from another's" said Paul, then a call arrived on Piers phone, It was Eleanor and that they found a bag that contained a little amount of the liquid on it and that they were going back to house, also Piers got a message from PC saying that the Blood rejects and the liquid seem to have a connection with the treon project from cytro, "fuck this they didn't stopped those bastards" said Victor angrily, "well damn this is way bigger than i taught, at least now we have a bag of it though, let's go back to house and I will explain everything there" said Piers who seemed worried, they said goodbye to Wilson and that they gave them a number if he would need anything.
They all arrived at home and Piers gave the explanation "So here is the reason why this is something big, Cytro if you two don't already know, is the big corporation that basically own this city with a strong fist and their power on all of it's people, they basically look and seem like a blank straight up not illegal corporation with no bad content which probably they would hide under their perfection belt, well this right here is the bad content that it got out of their hands and is exposed, they will probably evade and avoid everything that might involve them, but if this is extremely important to them and it get exposed that they did it and that it got massively reported everywhere, they will be fucked and that would change the hole criminal society that its on this city by them having to leave because their first provider got fucked, they are the root of all of this vandalism by their providing of weapons. So what is project treon you ask, it was a secret project that they had that it was supposed to save many live by being an injection called by the same name treon which strengthen and made faster the subject which it was injected with, some things went wrong it got taken out of the market and covered, so they didn't actually stopped making them and started injecting them illegally and not seem from the regular civilians eye, we must find how many more facilities they have and will have to discover them, for now PC will analyze the one that is on the bag to see more on what it has, oh and also there are 3 types of treon, x-treon, y-treon and z-treon, x is the least agressive one that make people stronger and faster but with no bigger effect than the others and also easier to be compatible, and for the others y is less people but more stronger and faster and for Z well it probably has less than a 1% of a person that is compatible with it, and those who have it well they are probably ridiculously strong and who knows what else, but this would be our reason of being here now, no more old times, this would be probably the hardest case we will ever have people, now let's get to work" said Piers.

Yet the empress and her officers need his power over magic to assist their armies and face the White Dragon.

Binary Progression: Torrented Edition
This was ment to be the self-published 'real' book of Binary Progression; turns out there isn't much of a market for this kind of story... that and it sucked! As such I am writing another (more successful) series but this was just laying about my book folder so I'm posting it here, please forget the fact I said it sucked, pretty please.

He discovers an old, abandoned game with an active, albeit very eccentric, community of no more than five-hundred players on a single server maintained by an unknown individual. Unbeknownst to him, the game he found is more than just an ordinary WoW clone and after many adventures with his group, they make the terrifying discovery that after two full volumes this story becomes a god damn isekai. What’s worse, JohnWillStab, the number-one edgelord on the server is somehow ending up in positions of power despite literally being an undead rogue with evil magic tentacles! Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism? Why is God asking John for chicken nuggets? Really, he could just spawn them in - in fact, we saw him spawning food in before!
