《Honest Way of Living》Being followed
Advertisement
When they arrive at the cafeteria, Asfa shows Olivia around since this is her first time here. Asfa looked at Olivia, she looked overly excited. "Is it her first time doing thing like this?"
While pointing his finger toward the only worker here, " We can get our free meal there. Luckily, there are few boxes left." She immediately runs to the workers for those meal boxes.
Olivia had a few chats with the worker there. She wanted to give some credit, but the worker refused to take any credits. So instead, she was going to give the worker extra 100 credits because she thought it was not enough! Asfa frowned.
"She needs to learn some common sense.."
Olivia hands over the lunch box to Asfa.
Olivia : Sir, why did the worker refuse the credits I gave just now. Is it not enough?
Asfa : Forget it, you did fine haih. Let's go back to the hall now.
They walked for a few minutes and reached the hall. Olivia opened her lunch box for the first time. She looks so happy while eating the meal. Asfa completed his meal before Olivia, he has been a fast eater since he doesn't have much time to waste. So he packed the empty lunch box and threw it into the trash can in the corner of the class.
Asfa would rather be alone right now to train, but ain't no way he got the heart to chase her away. At least he doesn't have to waste time chit-chatting with her.
Asfa : How was the food? Is it good enough? You can always get better food from the elites cafeteria.
Olivia : No no no sir. There is nothing wrong with the food, it feels comfortable to eat something different than usual. I don't even know the name of the food that I just ate but I believe it should be fine since you recommended it.
Sigh.. I never recommended it to you.

Asfa : Glad that you like it. Take your time to digest before you start practising. I am going to train until 3.00 p.m and leave. So you have more than an hour to do your thing here.
Asfa immediately finds a space in the other hall corner to do his physical training. He prefers to do it without the help of machines provided by the college since he hasn't got much time to plan a routine for it.
Olivia sat down for 5 minutes and she started to do a simple warm-up before she started practising. After that, both of them kept practising until 3.00 p.m. Asfa signalled Olivia to let her know that it was already time to leave.
While waiting for Olivia to leave the hall, Asfa has to ensure everything inside is just like the morning. Olivia left the hall and waited for Asfa. He went to the door to close it and locked it with the card key. Asfa can't wait to be alone!
Asfa : I believed you lived here in the Capital. Be careful on your way back.
Olivia : Urm sir, can you walk with me to the front gate?
Asfa : ..... Okay, but just this time. I don't want people to start gossiping about this later.
Olivia : Why would they do that?
Asfa starts walking and leads Olivia toward the front gate. He couldn't and won't answer the last question she asked. Is she this dense?
Gladly, Oliva doesn't talk at all during the walk to the college's main gate. Asfa realised some of the students who saw them during the walk looked at him jealously. She is indeed beautiful, kind and intelligent. The other students must have tried so badly to get closer to her.
When they arrived at the front gate, Olivia walked toward a big black limousine, and Asfa saw a butler waiting for her while opening the car's door.
Asfa was just about to leave the main gate and go to the library. Suddenly a solid and fit looking guy approached him. "I am one of the personal guards responsible for Olivia's safety, Ian. Who are you and what makes you think you can walk with her?"

Asfa frowned, I don't even want to do this bro!
Asfa : Hello there Mr Ian. I am Asfa Hunt the instructor here. I don't volunteer to do this, she asked for it. Worry not, I wouldn't do this if she didn't ask. May I go now sir?
Ian : Do not let this happen again. Just do your job and stay away from her. You don't have what it takes to know her. Have a good day Mr Hunt.
Ian went into the limousine and left. Asfa looks at them leaving, then walks away from the scene. He deduced that Olivia must be the daughter of an upper elite, especially when already seeing in his own's eyes how vicious the evil organisation wanted to kidnap her.
He would rather not know anyone from the elites, especially the important ones. They are bunch of troublesome people. "I am way too small to be involved in this".
Asfa is in front of the library, he sees some students and instructors here. He even saw some students from his class but they were just busy doing their thing. Asfa entered the library with his card key and walked directly to where he went yesterday to read some books.
He had been trying to find anything about Red Scythe on the internet yesterday, but there was none. He wanted to be prepared for the worst. "I hope there is something related to Red Scythe and also about that high-tech weaponry they used."
After half an hour, Asfa found only one book related to Red Scythe, while the other book he wanted to see was non-existent. He spent an hour reading about the Red Scythe, and he got anxious. "They are huge, no wonder the government hide anything related to them!"
From the book he read, Red Scythe has been around for almost a hundred years. The purpose of their existence is to do chaos and destruction on earth. They are bunch of criminals from almost every kind of profession. There are companies also owned by them hiddenly to ensure they ensure the organisation's survival.
In a decade alone, they have taken millions of lives from their evil-doing such as bombing people during the national events, sabotaging airplanes, etc. They are ruthless to anyone, especially toward the elites. The government has done everything they could to eradicate these evils yet they are still growing.
The infighting hurt the commoner the most since they couldn't even do anything to resist since majorities of lives lost were from the commoner. He has been trying so hard not to be involved with any of them.
"I need to train harder and find a way to improve my ability."
Asfa was about to leave after returning the book. Suddenly, he heard someone call his name from behind.
Ethan : Surprised to see you here, Mr Hunt. I thought you were busy spending time with Olivia. I mean, who wouldn't, right?
Asfa : I wouldn't mind spending my free time watching my students practising, especially those from my class. Feel free to come to me if you need help related to my subject. See you tomorrow Ethan.
Ethan : Be careful, Mr Hunt. She's out of our league.
He didn't give much attention to what Ian and Ethan said because he won't be bothered to get closer to any of the elites at the end of the day. "Please just leave me alone.."
On his way to the train station, Asfa realised that someone had followed him when he left the college. So he used his ability to locate the follower precisely.

Aside from my own personal problems with depression, there were many, many things I came to dislike about the way it was progressing. With the low quality of the earlier chapters, it was in dire need of at least an editing run. Instead of just editing the subpar chapters, I decided to just do it over again and change what I did not like. Please also note that I am not a native English speaker and thus might make mistakes. I have tried hard to find and correct most, but I am certainly not perfect.If you notice anything that is wrong just leave a comment below the chapter and I will try to get to it.

The Tower of Opportunity - Rewrite
Criminals from around the world are summoned by a mysterious being who informs them that they only have 3 months left to live unless they climb the mysterious tower that lies before them, through which they can gain another two weeks added to their lifespan for every floor conquered. They soon discover that they can harness powers that have been granted to them by this mysterious being to not only achieve victory against the enemies that they will face in the tower, but also attain their deepest and darkest desires as well. Watch our protagonist's journey through the tower as he struggles to endure the curse he bears, one which damns him to ever-repeat his climb to the top of the tower, until he succeeds. *** This is a rewrite of a story I started writing about 3 months ago which was written in the third person, and this rewrite shifts the story perspective to the first person. There will be occasional user polls to decide how the story progresses, interspersed throughout the story, and the polls that were done in the original version will still apply to the current version. Also if you have any suggestions for story ideas that you would like to see incorporated, leave a comment about it, and they might show up in the future. Lastly, I hope you enjoy the story, and thanks for reading. P.S. Thanks to gej302 for the cover art.
