I look at my side to see Dexter holding my hand as he took my knife and put it back to its place, my pockets. "What?! You're siding with them? The Hell?!" I shouted as I harshly pull back my arm from his grip. "What's wrong with you? You should be helping me finish him off right now rather than stopping me so that we could finish the problem or maybe a possible future threat for us. Are you out of your mind right now?!"
"Calm down Lily, I know you're filled with rage right now but if you kill him now, our plan will be wrecked up and Mikael's gonna kill you for ruining his plan. You know him, best for last." Dexter said as he put both of his hands up and slowly moved their way to both of my shoulders. Jacob and the rest were just silent there listening to our conversation. I grunt as I back off and say, "Fine, I get it. But Jacob, this is not over, I will be the one taking your neck." With that, I turn my back and go back along with my team and Dexter. We return to the base a
I was chilling with Yuki and Luna, listening to music while scrolling through my social media. Then I started thinking about yesterday, it was a mess now that I rationally view it. It's going to be up on the news and Mikael's definitely not happy hearing that. I was called by Mikael yesterday and he roasts the shit out of me. He was pissed but somehow not as pissed as I thought he would, maybe cuz it also affects Grey Wolf. But what shocked me is the punishments he gave out. Usually, there are no such things as a second chance when we violated the rules unless you're part of CARDS. Since if you're part of it, you played big roles inside the organization, and thus second chance or divine grace is given. It's usually either losing body parts like fingers or toes maybe even an eye or you get beaten up half dead. But this guy, Mikael, the boss, give me a punishment like he is my dad. He put me on a week probation. I mean, what the heck? He literally ground me for a week. If I should res
Jeniffer and Vanessa are now in my office along with the 8 men that's covered in cold sweats. Vanessa goes to my side as Jeniffer stood in front of my desk. I stayed silent as I put my hand together in front of my face. The room was silent for a while but no one is making any noise or asking any questions. The 8 men standing behind Jeniffer are just staring at each other while Jeniffer and Vanessa are just standing there like they're used to this situation. I finally broke the silence and said, "I will be making a new division that consists of only men that will deal with the security of our deals on drugs. I'm naming it March Hare and this team will be the sub under you, Mad Hatter. I want you to train them and you will also be responsible for whatever they did, any problem arises you go to Vanessa. She will tell you what to do after consulting with me. Now take those 8 coward men away. They can't even beat up a group of teenagers. You can use any kind of method, if any of
After getting Mikael's approval, the training and recruiting start. It was a mess at the start, some men were stealing and some were taking profit by selling at a higher price behind our back. Well, I hate each and every one of them shot dead. I don't need rats on my team. This kind of treatment installs fear in the new crew's heart. Now, after 5 months, things are going well, Mikael scold me the moment he was back but then hold a meeting to inform the other CARD member about my exclusive team, March Hare. Surprisingly no one actually oppose and things went smoothly, too smooth to be exact. This brings a spark of anxiety to my heart, what is Tim's planning? why is he so laid back? But I brush it off since I'm still busy with the competition of the team's operation system. After everything's done, every other problem that follows just fell into place a long time. But what worries me is that there was a report that Grey Howl's preparation is almost complete or maybe it a
Mikael's Perspective, when he was in China, Shangri-La. Clearing the problem with his partner.Right now, I'm heading to china because my partner called. This guy holds a major supplier in China and he is one of our biggest distributors in China. It's rare for him to call since he usually finds a way to solve it without involving me but since he call right now, it must be something big. Could be the work of those Grey Howl. Jiang Wuying is the name of my partner and if you could describe him, he is a man in his 40s, a person who always wears a suit like a businessman and a person who is meticulous of detail and numbers. He is keen and is a very exact person. Every small inaccuracy is a mistake to be figured out. That's the kind of man he is, which is why he rarely makes mistakes.After about 14 hours of flight, we checked in to our hotel before departing for my house in China. It was late night and I'm exhausted so I ask Damien to check in to any hotel nearby jus
Still in Mikael's perspective,I woke up still feeling tired and groggy, I don't feel like waking up and leaving the room but I have things to sort out first before I can slack off. I grumpily groan as I walk to my bathroom and took a shower as I groan. I was truly not up to doing anything for the day but because I know I won't be getting a real and proper rest unless I finish this problem I try to gather all of the motivation that I have scattered in the ocean. I get out of the room and head down for my breakfast, it was kaya toast and coffee. A nice start, my mood brightens up a little as I head to the office to continue the discussion pertaining to the current problem.But before I could even knock and announce my arrival, my secretary stops me and hand me documents and a phone. "What's all this?" I said as I hold the documents and the phone towards Damien as he calmly replied, " It was the inter you ask for sir, the Rat will be sorted out soon but the name listed o
He was somehow anxious about telling me this that I sigh and told him to just tell me. He then sighs and lowers down his face for a moment before starting talking. "Nightshade is a poison known back in the 18th century. I was said to be the witch's curse. This plant looks like a lovely flower with fruit that looks delicious. But it was beyond deadly that was used even until now in the 20th century. In the past, it was used to kill kings, emperors, and many others, you named it. It causes hallucinations and rashes which is why they say it's a curse from a witch since the first to use and discover it was a herbalist. A woman that was isolated from the others in the village was obsessed with herbs and medicine. She was called a witch in the end since she could cure a lot of diseases that were said to be incurable but then one day, she mistakenly put the nightshade inside a cup. She forgets about it as she brews some tea on that cup and gives it to a knight that was visiting her. That k
Mikael's Perspective,"Wait? me or him? or do you mean us? Answer me you dipshit!" I shouted while he keep on laughing like a maniac. "You and you! All of you! He will crush you to dust!" he said that and kept on laughing while Wuying continue beating him. "Wait, wuying. He said that 'He' will crush us. Make him spill out who 'He' is. If we know names we can trach him." Wuying nods as he pulls out a rope and wooden chair from his left compartment. "Why do you have those on your compartment?" I ask him, showing a skeptical expression. He stops for a while as if he is thinking about how to explain so I don't misunderstand but I stopped him, "Wait! Stop right there! I don't wanna hear it, I feel that it's better for me not to know."He sighs in frustration still holding the guy down, proceeding to tie him on the chair. After he are done so, he stood up as he sigh once again, he brushed his hand through his hair as he looked at me with a frustrated expression. "I don't wan
Mikael's Point of View,I was panting while being held back by Wuying. I shrugged him off as he was put back on his chair. I was filled with rage as he insult not only me but my country. In terms of mafia life, our country's origin represents who we are as an entity, that's why each mafia will harbor at least one or two of its country's culture as a worm of identity. With him insulting my country is the same as insulting my whole organization. I walk towards him as I bend down and hold his bruised face. "You fuckin bitch! Don't mess with me fucker. Tell us what you know or you'll wish I kill you right now."He chuckled at my threat as he spits his blood out and said, "Why? you're going to use that invisible torture thing? Do you think I'm afraid? You need me in order to find out who's behind this and you also need me to crack that code you found on the safe. Why do you think it's this easy to find the clue? Let's strike a deal instead. Unless you wanna kill me and lose
I woke up feeling comfy and cool but it was too quiet and there was a smell of lavender which was strange since I have pets in my room. I felt my eyelids heavy and my mouth dry but despite that, I tried to open my eyes and move my body which feels as stiff as a stick. With all the effort my body can exert I finally manage to open my eyes, it was an unfamiliar room that seemed like it belong to guys, the monochrome and classy yet masculine vibe. The room was filled with black colour and the dim light from the lamp with a surprisingly cute air purifier shaped like a cat with golden ears. It's as if that air purifier doesn't fit with the overall design of the room. I look around and see no one was there but it's weird since if I got home drunk, Alice is there, sober enough to bring me back to my room safely. Just when I was drowning in my thought, the door slowly opened. It's as if whoever is opening the door wanted it to be as quiet as possible in order to not disturb anyone who's in t
I froze and thought, 'Oh shit, why does the topic go there? but if I suddenly change, I'm fucked.' So the only thing I could think of was just to laugh it off and act like he was making a joke. "Omg Kev, what do you mean mafia. Do they even exist nowadays? The government and the police force are now backed up with tons of technology. Those crime organisations are now playing the invisible games. We don't see them nowadays. Are you drunk on action movies?" I said as I sip my mojito. He stayed silent as if he was still suspicious but then he sigh and put his hand on my waist pulling me closer. "Lily, don't say that. Are you being threatened to work there? Don't tell me you were forced to be a prostitute? are you scammed and get chased by the loan sharks? Dangers are always around. You might not know it but maybe the person you're working with is a dangerous organization and yes, those types of organizations you see in fictional novels and action movies exist even nowadays. Why don't yo
I woke in a body fit burgundy red dress with a side cut on the side and I use a knife holster to store my throwing knives. I wear smoky red make-up with burgundy lips, leave my hair straight, and use my classic gold geometric earring and some sweet golden heels. I was about to take my black channel purse before a knock comes through my door. It was Vanessa and Alice. Alice was dressed in a black tight dress with cleavage exposed and a smoky brown look along with a tight high ponytail. "Let's go, boss. We're gonna be late. It's 11 pm now."I was feeling anxious and excited, looking forward to either the thrill of danger or the touching reunion. It's more likely the first one that happens but regardless, I can't seem to calm my heart down. Currently, we're on our way to the place they usually hang out, Acedia. That's the name of one of the most popular clubs in the ELICO district. By the name itself, it's a place that disregards status and ranks. A place to let your inner demon out, let
I woke up with a rather unexplainable feeling yet it wasn't considered bad enough to ruin my morning. Today was finally the day, the time where I meet my target Kev Roman or Kevin Burrow. Never expect that we will have a reunion like this, truly. I take a slow, warm shower and filled my tub with woodland pine herb and mints bubble bath. I light up my white tea and sage scented candle to add a relaxing feel. Luna being a clingy bun she is, joined me in my bath. Seems like I've lost my privacy the moment I have this cat around. On the other hand, Yuki was not that intrigued by his curiosity, he mostly hang around the living room area. After finishing my bath, I dry myself and put on some make-up. I did some light natural make-up look and curled my hair. I finished up with a light pink matte and some gloss. After that, I go toward my closet and pull out two sets of outfits. There's a casual black tee with denim shorts and an oversize plaid shirt along with black classic c
As I reached ELICO, I entered Mirage, our building name, and goes straight to the office. all of the members have assembled and Vanessa stood behind my seat with her documents ready. I sat right down and the meeting started. "We've found a big clue on Lost Eden, Our three target is Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. We won't be going for all three instead our focus is Kevin Berrow. You can get his detail from Vanessa after this meeting but for now, we have to track his location. He's a lone wolf so he usually goes alone. But, there's a chance he's with Freed since Freed can be said as Kevin's babysitter. We don't have to worry about Bryan since he's just a plain psycho with pride as tall as Mount Everest. Different from the other two that have somewhat a relation Bryan is alone. We decide to leave that to Mark and Tim. If by chance Freed and Kevin are together, don't charge in, instead of retreat back and let me do a solo operation." But as I said those Alice abrup
The meeting has been concluded and we're all getting up to leave. But seeing that there was three prey we needed to hunt I called out to Tim and Dexter along with Mark. "Guys, Can we all talk for a while. I think this is something that's necessary." They all look at each other, confused about what I mean but then nod in agreement as they follow along.We go to Tim's office since it's the nearest to the Hall. We took our seats and then all eyes are on me. I sigh before I started talking. It was nerve-wracking to have all eyes on me even tho it was just three people. "Okay, it's been decided that we have three people to hunt but so far we don't have enough information on who we're hunting. There's a saying 'in order to defeat your enemy you must know your enemy' so-" I was cut off by Tim as he shockingly said"Wait wait, did you just quote Sun Tzu? For real?!" I was baffled at his words since Sun Tzu is a famous figure. Who didn't know him? "What's wrong with that? Who doesn't k
I was shocked seeing their reaction since I thought they were just playing some crack code. I come in seeing them argue about it like a child as if they're just playing or joking around. But then the moment I cracked the code, their face turn pale due to shock at the same time their eyes lit in excitement. This must be a big lead since they look like a baby that finally got his candy after crying for decades. Tim immediately dives into a mountain of documents, he scrambles through his documents, shoving and throwing them around. When he finally found it we find three names which are Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. These names don't sound familiar to me but then the moment they mention 'Lost Eden'. I somehow got the guise of it. These three must be someone that's crucial in finding whatever it is we need to find."Liliane, Go and call everyone to the meeting room, it starts in 30 minutes. Make sure everyone is there." Tim said as he once again buried himself
Still on Mikael's PerspectiveHe was telling a lot of information after getting beaten up half dead but he never answer the basic question ask which is his name. "Alright, that's good for now-" I said as drop the bat down but then he cut me off, "How do you know I won't lie?" I stop on my track and scoff at him, it's so funny to think he would bring this question now out of all time. "Tell us your name." He stayed quiet for a while before telling me. "I'm Danny Lance. now answer me. How?"I looked at him for a good minute before answering him, " Do you think we're stupid? We have our own intel and from what you said it matches, logically thinking your words won't be a lie unless you completely fanaticize your answer." after hearing my words, the baffled look on his face gives me an extra bit of satisfaction. "Good, now! one last question, Where's the money, Danny?" I continued.He flinches at my question but I don't give a fuck at this point because this que
