week had felt unbearably long at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he was anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more anxious than he wanted to admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission itself was already dangerous enough, but after everything that happened recently, his mind felt even more restless than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire week had been nothing short of awkward, especially Monday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment classes started that morning, Blake immediately realized neither of them knew how to act anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Him and Myles couldn’t even look at each other properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time their eyes almost met, one of them immediately looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting near each other suddenly felt strangely tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the worst part was that neither Asher or Anthony seemed to notice anything unusual, so they just pushed them together for conversations...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Blake felt like his entire body became stiff every time Myles moved even slightly closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet somehow, the evening before that had actually gone relatively normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had talked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not perfectly, obviously, but enough to almost resemble one of their usual conversations again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was honestly bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake still couldn’t understand how the two of them managed to go from unbearable awkwardness to normalcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuesday and Wednesday slowly became better, or perhaps they simply got used to it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them gradually returned to behaving like before, mostly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walked together normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though occasionally, there would still be moments where silence suddenly stretched too long between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments where Blake remembered the kiss all over again and nearly lost his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Myles never brought it up again either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which Blake appreciated but, at the same time, didn’t appreciate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because part of him wanted clarification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other part wanted to bury himself underground permanently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Thursday, things had become manageable enough that Blake could finally focus fully on the mission again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, it was Friday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to actually begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake exhaled slowly before turning away from the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Yes, Dear Host. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take out the mask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ Yes, Dear Host. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the system replied, something suddenly materialized directly into Blake’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smooth white mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake looked down at it quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing alone had cost him far more coins than he initially wanted to spend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was finally ready to show off his imagination properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please work well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the mask slowly and placed it over his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, Blake had spent an embarrassingly long time designing this appearance mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply created the kind of guy he thought could realistically exist without resembling anyone specific.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mixed together different features he found online and hoped for the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, nobody similar came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the uniform, he had researched the AFE uniforms online carefully beforehand and recreated one nearly perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least visually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it would hold up under actual inspection was another issue entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake took a slow breath before opening his eyes again, then he froze slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he was a little shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mostly relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It worked exactly how he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person staring back at him from the mirror looked completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not super tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Broad shoulders, toned arms, a body that looked properly trained without appearing absurdly muscular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair was dark brown instead of dirty blond, slightly messy and shorter around the sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his eyes were gray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold-looking enough to suit the uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his facial structure had changed entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharper jawline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straighter nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slightly paler skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake stared at himself for another moment before sighing quietly in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least that part was successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached up briefly, touching the side of his face, but there was no time to stand around admiring it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake looked toward the table nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another item rested there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had bought it from the system shop two days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to check on the favorability level, but this was at least going to help in the long run, for other missions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake picked it up carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He genuinely hoped he wouldn’t have to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if things became dangerous, then he might have no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he had already decided one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to shoot, he would be careful not to kill anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the safety briefly before hiding it properly beneath the uniform jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he straightened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll sneak for my lover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, he felt lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he would upgrade it to A-rank, but that required one hundred coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, he absolutely did not have that many left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant B-rank would have to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hopefully, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake took one final breath before heading toward the apartment door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the air felt colder than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe he was simply nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake shoved his hands into his pockets and walked toward the nearest bus stop calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, there was no turning back anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, he got onto the bus quietly and sat near the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody paid attention to him, as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ride itself felt painfully long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake spent most of it staring silently out the window while mentally repeating the underground map over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straight corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second security split.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emergency tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had memorized everything as carefully as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, anxiety kept pressing against the back of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if something changed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the blueprints were outdated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake shut his eyes briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No, thinking too much would only make things worse.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he got off near another city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his own area, this place looked far more industrial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empty roads, large buildings and few to no people around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake adjusted the collar of his uniform slightly before walking further away from the main streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper he went, the quieter things became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he reached an abandoned-looking area near several old concrete structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost nobody came here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake stopped near the sealed sewer entrance and exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Right.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who even knew if this would actually work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief second, he simply stared down at the heavy metal covering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he crouched slightly and punched it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal dented inward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s actually insane.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength upgrade really worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately punched it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal groaned loudly beneath the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks formed around the edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire entrance finally broke apart violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake didn’t waste even a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately jumped down into the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment after...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thick metal barrier suddenly shut above the entrance automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WEEEEEOOOOOOO—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An alarm exploded through the underground tunnel, and it was incredibly loud, to the point Blake nearly flinched, although he knew it would go off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately started running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underground path stretched ahead exactly how he remembered from the blueprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footsteps echoed sharply while the alarm continued screaming overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere deeper inside the tunnel system, voices suddenly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then footsteps. There were men carrying rifles immediately began rushing through nearby pathways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake reacted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowed down slightly and blended directly into the moving crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody questioned him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His uniform helped enormously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his chest rested an AFE badge that looked believable enough from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if anyone actually scanned it properly, it would probably fail instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant he needed to avoid speaking as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake kept his mouth shut tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, his skill helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People’s attention naturally slid away from him quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he remained tense, especially because of his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake had genuinely practiced lowering it during the week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, after two sentences, it started sounding completely ridiculous, so speaking little was definitely the better strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers around him continued rushing toward the breached entrance area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perfect.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gave him room to separate quietly from the group, slipping away down another corridor calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heartbeat hammered loudly in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But eventually, the AFE doors finally came into view ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake nearly sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two armed soldiers stood guard outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Go on.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced himself to walk confidently toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers only fully noticed him when he got close enough to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only went out for a second,\" Blake said shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, his lowered voice sounded acceptable that time, the two guards immediately straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Badge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake’s stomach tightened slightly as one of them held out a scanner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Badge,\" the guard repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply stood there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not moving much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not looking either of them directly in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seconds stretched as planned, and the soldiers’ focused expressions slowly loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attention visibly blurred, as if Blake himself suddenly became less important to look at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less memorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first guard lowered the scanner slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You here to take one out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Take one out?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had absolutely no idea what they meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a brief hesitation, he simply nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the atmosphere relaxed entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors unlocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, his voice held together for one more sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he immediately walked inside before anything else could happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the doors shut behind him, Blake finally released the breath he had been holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Holy shit... that actually worked.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He genuinely thought he was about to get caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he couldn’t relax yet, not even close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake looked around carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the AFE looked colder than he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Metal floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright white lighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And strangely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no visible cells nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No prisoners either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only long hallways stretching deeper inside the facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he wondered if he entered the wrong section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to the blueprints, this was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake started walking carefully through the corridors, glancing around every corner while remaining alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper he went, the quieter everything became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then finally, he found them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire hallway filled with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long rows extending deep into the facility, heavy reinforced doors, small observation windows...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything exactly as he expected, except for one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake slowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footsteps suddenly sounded far too loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No yelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No banging against doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prisoners inside the cells made absolutely no noise at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And somehow, that felt far more terrifying than screaming would have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold feeling slowly crept down Blake’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they asleep or watching him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes moved carefully across the dark cell windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the entire hallway felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like something dangerous was quietly waiting behind those doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake swallowed once unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence was so unnatural it genuinely scared him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are the criminals waiting for a chance to attack me or?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought alone made his shoulders tense instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, the hallway remained completely still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the sound of Blake’s own breathing echoed faintly as he stood there staring into the endless row of silent cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a faint metallic noise echoed somewhere deeper inside the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake immediately looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the silence somehow became even heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>",1896,"2026-06-06T13:58:10.545Z",1,"novelbin.me","369204bd4742bb77996f6a0db0169ace20f040f19b67b0dda5eb4052cf8ec926","system-mission-seduce-the-final-boss-bl-chapter-103","system-mission-seduce-the-final-boss-bl-chapter-101",121,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-mission-seduce-the-final-boss-bl-cover.jpg"]
