With Erick’s passing, Elton became the most popular alumnus of the institution. Due to his family’s immense fortune, he had established a major company that was thriving in the market, bringing him widespread recognition.
What Elton did not know was that the energy from the dark strike he had contracted to end Erick’s life remained wandering through the air. It was searching for the one who, in its eyes, was a fraud; it wanted its payment for having been summoned: his soul.
When a person dies due to another’s malice, their soul wanders the invisible world of the Earth until their true destined hour of death arrives, allowing them to transcend.
However, since Erick found happiness alongside the souls of his two new friends, he broke the spell and sent it flying when he departed this plane. Because the malevolent force failed to fulfill its nature, it returned to its origin in search of the mastermind—and the first one it found was Elton.
At that moment, Elton was at a cocktail party, celebrating his company's success with the city’s prestigious elite, surrounded by beautiful women.
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed from one side of the club’s ballroom. A table was overturned, followed by the shattering sound of crystal glasses hitting the floor.
Everyone turned to look. With sunken, wide-open eyes, gaping mouths, and furrowed brows, they saw an executive and the company’s vice president trading blows.
In the heat of the moment, the executive pulled a gun from his vest and fired three shots at Elton’s partner, killing him right there in the middle of the party.
Elton’s vice president was the one who truly managed the company, as he held a degree in economics. Elton, with his low intellect, had only provided the capital.
Desperate, he searched for a replacement, but the best professionals were already committed to other projects. He hired others who showed up for interviews, but none were capable of commanding such a massive company as the deceased had.
Disorganization began to plague the finances and production. Many clients canceled their contracts, and over time, the business decayed until it fell into bankruptcy.
Elton’s grand mansion was foreclosed due to his failure to repay the loans he took out in a futile attempt to save the business.
He went to seek support from his father, who had originally financed his first investment. But he discovered that his father's enormous home had also been confiscated due to a crime he committed. He had fled the country, leaving no way to be reached, as his whereabouts were unknown.
A few days later, Elton received a call informing him that his mother had died in a car accident. He reached out to the rest of his family, but no one wanted to help or offer him a job; they knew he was useless and lacked any real skills. His friends, seeing he was no longer wealthy, abandoned him.
Elton ended up as a beggar on the streets. His only refuge was the abandoned building where his powerful company once stood—a place now overrun by other homeless people who didn't even notice his presence.
Finally, driven by desperation, the former millionaire decided to go to the rooftop. However, this time it wasn’t six stories high; it was twenty more. He stood on the edge of the ledge overlooking the wide highway, and the dark energy took his soul into the depths of darkness.
