Chapter 1111: A case... and a few more.
[ZYON NETWORK: SECRET FLOOR’S NEW OFFICE]
"Get out!" Axel slammed the entrance open, making the few night-shift employees jolt in surprise. His eyes glinted as he scanned the faces inside. "I said, out!"
The night shift employees looked at each other in confusion. Even so, they awkwardly stood from their desks and followed the orders. Seeing the exhausted yet fierce look on Axel, they chose the other door for their own safety.
Axel watched every single one of them leave before stepping inside. But instead of going anywhere in the large office, he stood frozen a few feet from the entrance. His eyes landed on the space in the middle and then on the main panel in the front. Looking at it, Heaven’s figure slowly appeared.
"Sis," he whispered, balling his hands into a fist.
Perhaps it was the lack of sleep or the level of stress he had that he was starting to see things. However, he didn’t do anything to make this imagination disappear. Instead, he watched his beloved sister-in-law work on the Main Control panel with precision and efficiency. Even when she was drinking coffee, she wouldn’t stop, nor would she take her eyes off the monitor.
Axel watched her for days. So, he could still remember it as if it had only happened yesterday.
God knows how many coffee and energy drinks she had to the point he had to prepare for medical personnel in case she collapsed. But she didn’t. She survived with a few power naps and caffeine. To be honest, he didn’t know why she worked so hard back then. He had no idea. However, deep in his heart, he also knew that whatever it was, she probably had an important reason for it.
That was probably one of the many reasons Axel was here. Because that same sister-in-law and the person he was imagining right now kept spewing nonsense. It didn’t make sense at all. It wasn’t the first time his sister-in-law messed with him, but she usually did that with believable nonsense. Not some sort of fantasy plot.
