34 List of things
Standing out in the open, I tried to think if I have forgotten anything, nope. This is a habit I got staying in there, you can't imagine how many times I have talked to myself inside. "Welcome back, Master" Rose voice came out of the phone, "I am back."
Walking on the streets of Italy in the morning is excellent, let me first call the university to postpone the lecture for three days more.
"Hello, Dean Hu speaking," The Dean answered fast, "It's me, Ace, I need three more days as something big has happened at the company." I answered without explaining much, "Of course! You can take a month if needed but please make sure to send some homework for the students…" I smiled and ended the call.
After walking for minutes, many of the people on the streets looked at me weirdly, Ah yes… well, let them get used to it. I found a coffee shop on the side and entered it, "Americano please" waiting at the counter I placed some dollars on the table without counting them and sat on an empty table.
Taking out my phone I dialed up Emma, waiting a few seconds Emma answered "Where have you been?!" eh, she is angry… "Hello Emma, sorry about disappearing for a while, I had something really important and the place I went to had no service." Answering truthfully I waited for her answer, but all I heard was a sobbing sound in the background.
Seven days earth time, seven years inside… I have thought about many things, but it was lonely. "Emma, I will be back home tomorrow, I am sorry for not being there," I said in a depressed voice. "Come back quickly, I will be waiting" as she cried she said slowly.
Drinking the bitter coffee, I couldn't enjoy it, sigh…

"Boss, where would you like to go" A man who was driving looked at the back mirror while asking his boss. "Find a coffee shop, I need to drink something before going back home."
"Yes, boss!" The man driving made sure that the cars guarding them followed well before he went towards a coffee shop near the leaning tower. Stopping his car near a coffee shop, the cars behind him stopped neatly, and many suited men left the cars as they approached the main car in the front.
Opening the door, the boss left the car before entering the coffee shop. When he entered, he saw a hooded, masked person drinking coffee through his mask while sitting alone on the side. When the masked man looked up at him, the boss was startled but what shocked him was after the man has waved to him to come over.
The men guarding the boss were angry and was about to attack the man, but the boss stopped them and walked towards the masked man.
-----------------
Coincidence? It might be, I stood up and shook my hands with Marco. "It has been awhile Marco haha!", Marco looked at his men and told them to stay outside, they nodded and left. "Who are you?" Marco looked confused as he didn't know who is behind the mask while the voice was too cold to be the emperor's voice.
"Haha! Sorry for not introducing myself." I smiled wryly inside as I thought it would be funny. "My name is Magician, one of 4C3 men… I am here to give you a task that the boss instructed it to give you."
Marco's eyes narrowed at first, but once he released a bit of killing intent, he was overwhelmed by the killing intent I have released. Some people next to us fainted, and the others were breathing in a very shallow way. "Marco, this time 4C3 is serious, there is no time left…" I shook my head as I said that.
"Explain," Marco said shocked, "Kill, every single corrupted person… you will receive a list soon, comply, and you will gain something in return once you complete this" I giggled as I explained it to him.
Might be funny to create many personalities and meet every single big shot. "You have 15 years if you can't complete it within 15 years… hmph" I let the lightning crackle around me before I stood up and left the coffee shop leaving behind a shocked mafia boss.
"Rose, send him a list of every corrupt person in Italy" I smiled as I went towards the airport and searched for a plane via the phone that will leave to Shanghai. Found one, I disappeared from where I was and appeared on the top of a plane.
Standing on the flying plane, I looked over my pieces of equipment to solve this predicament that happened during the tower.

After maxing out my equipment it changed to a golden woolen cloth, but fighting the wraiths on the 53rd floor, they entered my cloths over and over again until it changed into this… scary looking set.
After a few hours, the plane landed in Shanghai, I Jumped off the plane before it landed and began running towards the house. Phew! Surpassing the speed of sound, some the air avoided me, but it destroyed many glasses in return.
Slowing down before the house, I finally entered forgetting about what I was wearing as I proceeded to hug the sad Emma. "I am back!" Surprising her, "Ahh!" She slapped me. "It's me Emma, Ace" I removed the mask and showed my face to her. With a long beard under, I laughed a bit before patting her on the head fast, "I will take a quick shower, do not wake up anyone." I smiled after kissing her on the head, "ok..." she said as she looked down with a red face.
Entering the bathroom, I took off everything and walked under the shower, standing under the shower, my eyes were cold… if a grade F tower was capable of doing this to me, what about the higher grade towers? I turned on the cold shower and the blood stains on me began to disperse, scars that stayed after the long fight, the long struggle… the water falling became slow.
"Time" I said coldly, looking at the water that stopped dropping but stuck in air, I let the aura out a bit, controlling it I moved my hand towards a water droplet, touching it made it turn black. The smile on my face became wide, I looked at the black droplet floating and said in a colder voice, "Invade me, I will welcome you, I will give you flowers and welcome you with a smile…" I closed my eyes to continue "But do not expect to leave, do not bother begging me to stop… I will do the same to you too" Crack! The droplets broke into pieces and dispersed.
