16: The First Phase (2)
"Then the possibility of her being an assassin has been confirmed huh." Reese contemplated for a while as he raised his glasses, ignoring another round of nonsense chatter on the other side from his team.
The third floor exploded not long after Avyanna walk out of the office, and she even ran away instantly after discovering their pursuit. Doesn't this only mean one thing?
"The police didn't seem to have caught their accomplice outside the school, so it would be difficult to stick to our initial plan of capturing them peacefully. As I thought, let's go with plan B." added Reese.
"Hell, yeah! I like the sound of that!"
17: The First Phase (3) "The woman is probably no longer in the building right now."Archilles didn't bother reprimanding the three with what they've just talked about behind his back. Although he heard them all, it didn't really bother him one bit and decided to just go straight to the point.Confused, the three could only stare at him with an imaginary question mark plastered on each of their forehead.How?"They've probably taken her away…" Reese murmured. Unintentionally answering the question hovering over the mind of the three. He immediately noticed this. "As for the question why, I do not know." he added before they could've asked him why.
18: The Second Phase (1) AS ARCHILLES STOPPED himself from yawning. He walked his way towards the nearest tree and leaned his back over its trunk. Crossing his arms over his chest and closing his tired eyes. He had already talked too much. Although he initially planned to just let them read the whole file he made while he get much rest as he can get, he can't really stop himself to summarize his report as it became a habit he had accumulated for years now. Only a mission can get him to speak that long. The memory of what happened from last night made its way back to Archilles mind. As much as he hates to admit it, he had a hard time slee
19: The Second Phase (3.1) WITH BOTH ARMS CROSSED, Archilles stood unmoving among the humming crowd of officers and detectives. His biceps could no longer be hidden by the upper layer jacket of his suit, which stretched with his arms crossed over his chest. He exudes a tremendous aura that can make anyone succumb just by his mere presence. He’s not even doing anything, nor were his eyes piercing, yet there seemed to be a "Can Be Hazardous When Provoked" s
20: The Second Phase (3.2)"But you didn't get to hear my bet just now, right?" Yuan asked."Ahm, no. What was it about?" Although he doesn’t have the intention of taking back his bet on him, Rue still asked.Reese decided to be the one to answer his question. "He's betting that the captain won't be able to accomplish the
21: Piecing All Together (1.1) AT THAT SAME MOMENT, Lei was chilling on a monoblock chair with a book in his left hand. On the book's front cover, says "Life is meaningless" with a majestic bold and italic golden font. Despite the fact that there's dust and cobwebs hovered all around him, he was able to maintain an elegant and graceful demeanor. On his face, was a slight, relaxing smile. As his upper torso leaned forward, his other arm was supported up against an old wooden table. His chin rested against the back of his hand. With his thumb, he gingerly shifts the page to the next and tentatively reads the characters written on it. Completely unaware
22: Piecing Together (1.2)WHO IS HE? Where is he? What was he doing here?"A-are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?!"Seeing the infamous Raven, who was notorious in the Underworld for showing no mercy, now wearing a sorrowful expression as she knelt in front of a worn-out bed while tightly clasping their target's hands, stunned the young man."How are you feeling? I was so worried when you suddenly fainted!"Despite being the one who made the drug, Lei has no idea how exactly Avyanna was ab

Consequences."Let's talk about what you did with the request-command that I clearly told you not to do." Mr. Black's expression turned serious. He folded his hands before leaning forward to rest both arms on his desk. "Let me tell you the reason why I never told anyone about their existence, except to you which I now regret. I never would have thought that you would use it after all the warnings I gave you." Avyanna didn't retort. To be honest, Avyanna hasn't yet heard the reason why he forbade the request-commands from being known in the organization, which is the very first thing he did right after he stepped up as the head of the XYS. So she didn't have an idea how dire the situation really is. "I already told you about the consequences once an assassin utters the oath and requests a command directly to the head—they will either end up dead, or be stripped of their title as assassins and be thrown to them. The XYS will no longer be their homes, nor will they be able to go ba
2nd Arc“It’s always the past that made them the way they currently are. “—In a relationship"I have a boyfriend.""*cough cough* What did you just say?"The raven-haired woman boredly stared at her uncle, who stared back at her with a dumbfounded look as he pathetically wiped his mouth with a tissue.Even the secretary of his standing beside him stared at her with a mixture of shock and terror.
Hello! I apologise for the lack of updates over the last few months. The thing is, I had my first ever blue screen problem around the end of January, and I didn't have the chance to fix it until this Wednesday. Because my brain can't function or generate ideas while I'm not at my computer, I became inactive shortly after finishing the first arc. Sorry! The good news is that I was still able to use my Android phone to produce a few drafts for the second arc and even revised the entire first arc. Although I can't promise to update every day this month, expect the story to continue:) I'll make sure to finish my book before I graduate. I know I've lost a lot of readers by now, but that's okay. My objective is to finish my first book and use it as a stepping stone to becoming a much better writer and producing far more books than I could ever conc
49: The Last MemoryTHE SCENE KEPT on changing. Like a playback, it kept playing all the highlights of Evan's past.However, it wasn't complete. Some parts will suddenly be cut off, while some are too short to make sense.And bit by bit, she witnessed how Evan's view started to change. His thoughts became darker and darker.From a young boy, to a twisted man.Not just him, she also saw how that scared, gentle little boy grew to be much more twisted than his already twisted brother.When finally, the scene changed to a memory that she's a par
48: Rotten Rules For SurvivalONCE AGAIN, THE scene changed."Is this them?""Yes. The other kid was injured all over but we had already checked, his body can still make it. It's a miracle that he's still alive. Fortunately, both are very suitable for the experiment.""I see. They're also twins, huh.""Yes. They are perfect for the projects."Evan had his eyes closed. So Avyanna couldn't see the two people conversing with each other, but she
47: The Twin's Promise.THE SCENE SUDDENLY changed."Brother! They're coming!"A cry sounded from his behind. Evan quickly turned around and Avyanna was able to see who it was.It was a thin child, with clothes made out of rags, running towards Evan with a desperate expression."Eli,"Evan opened his arms just as when the child fell forward to him.Only then did Avyanna realise that the body she was in became small. 
46: The First MemoryEverything was white.Like in an asylum, all four corners of the room were painted with nothing else but white. No furniture, no dust, no anything.And in the middle of that room was Avyanna.The raven-haired woman stood motionless on the white floor, barefooted, with nothing else on her but a white hospital gown.Where am I?Creak.She turned her head towards the sound. The door that was too unnoticeable to the eye was pushed open by someone. A woman dressed in a lab coat came in,
45: Flirt THERE HE IS. The person who will serve as Avyanna's tool in her pursuit to seek the truth about her past. Archilles Calisto. The man stood up straight from leaning against the door before slowly approaching Avyanna, as the two confronted face-to-face, he had completely shadowed her small figure. He had indeed lived up to his title as the Captain of SPADE.
44: "Independent" Unit DETAILS REGARDING WHAT happened last night at a certain college university in Shwirlan were all over the news just as the sun rose up to light the sky. A woman working for the media spotted the movements of the police and went to investigate herself, never did she expect to end up with a big scoop. Another cold case has been broken and 'solved' by a unit under the PSIA. Many citizens were proud and relieved to have such a reliable force after reading the newspaper explaining how they cracked a case that had been going on for seven years that many detectives weren't able to solve due to a lack of evidence. However, no media outlet mentioned which unit it was that managed
