Chapter Sixty Eight: Assemblyman Jericho Steam

He was hearing the ticking of the clock again, and it destroys his focus. He was trying his best to master the Quantum Rifle, but his situation is getting worse and worse. It was as if his brain has a mind of its own, much to his own misery. The elixir must work. It cannot fail him now.

He tried his aim again, but missed the desired target. Again and again, he missed and missed while he was trying to shift his aims at different targets. The Quantum principle behind this weapon is superb, and he simply cannot use it to his advantage.

After being tired trying to focus, the clock was starting to get loud that his ears started to hurt at once. He dropped the rifle while it happened, and he grab hold of one of his ears.

"Ouch!"

The sound of the rifle dropping gave him greater anxiety. He was the best in economic modelling. He cannot be this miserable trying to use a stupid weapon. But what is hindering him? The elixir is supposed to work. It has done him favor before. It should work today. It has to be.

He looked at the window beside the shooting range and saw something he dreaded to see. It was a winged creature. He was taken aback. Why are the creatures here? Who unleashed them? They have been banned long ago!

The winged creature recognized him at once and flew to his direction. He has seen their eyes before, long ago before he read the dangerous rhetoric and contaminated them. He doesn't want to remember it. His conscience will not let him rest.

The creature remembered him deeply, and now that it has found its master, he will have the power to control them.
