A few minutes already passed since Agatha and the others infiltrated the organization. Eithan was aware that Agatha had put a thousand or so people under her command and split them into several groups while the other two just sneaked into a base each by themselves.
He had inferred the former by checking the military compounds and mafia hideouts. The woman was quite reserved when it comes to Country F's own army due to their relations to Paul, but since the people of the empire had no such connections to anybody she valued, there was no reason for her to hesitate using such convenient resources for her own means.
"That annoying woman is one thing, but I didn't know even this unreasonable bastard loves charging head-on with no plans whatsoever."
In front of the blonde idol, a heavily-bearded middle-aged man clicked his tongue. The two were inside an unassuming bungalow house near the airport. Because the way he sat before the computer was so relaxed and unlike his
"AAHHHHHH!" In a split-second, the woman tumbled down, curling her shivering body sideways as she had her bound hands clutched on her bleeding left knee.The culprit nonchalantly pulled the trigger again before saying, "It seems you are actually a fairly high-ranking person in the organization. The additional layer of memories is your protection. No hypnotism nor mind-control will work on you so the secret will be very secure. Heh. If so, then can I only bet on near-death state to bring out the real you?"The blonde woman momentarily stopped crying for the pain from both her knees. The danger she felt from the man's demonic grin was too much, she just wanted to disappear from there. For that while, she hated Ivy for discovering her... and hated the world for letting her fall to this predicament."R-respected Sir, I-I don't really know what you're talking about. Please, please, spare my life!" She cried hard."Heh. Stupid. You're already dead. Why else would your memories be in somebod
"Damn you!"A barrier popped out of nowhere. When the smoke vanished from their sight, the pervert system user who had been visiting Brienne Middleton's bedroom every night was revealed gently embracing the unconscious and hardly alive blonde woman. Considering his stinky reputation even amongst core members, his gentleness and careful handling of Deborah's body was very puzzling and surprising.The other man laughingly took in the great hate seeping out of the barely dressed man. He even waved a hand at him playfully. "Hello. I supposed you are this woman's lover or host backer? May I know your name?"The baritone voice coming out of his throat deepened the hatred incurred by Deborah's state in Aljur's heart. Or actually, it was the mocking laughter accompanying that deep voice that triggered that overflowing hate.The younger man never had good self-control, hence, before the annoying laughter died down, Aljur had already thrown several poisoned syringes and needles at the enemy. Th
"Ooops, I strayed away from the topic. Actually, I'm not that guy. Hahahahah. It should be obvious now, no? That person is an actor but outside work, he's a walking airconditioner. Who else could stand being him? I have to resort to tampering with my memories and even instructing my best friend to act like that stupid AI. Jeez, I had 37 suffer from cheesiness and epilepsy. Damn. He keeps crying over calling me names. He's so good-natured and kind that he can't bear calling me a bastard. But yeah, son of a b*tch! I'm now back to being the great and handsome me!!!"Like the man finally couldn't stand the disguise and since his facade had already fallen through, he wiped a hand down his face, changing the old skin to that a fair-blemishless one.Apart from the smug smirk hanging on his lips, everything else changed. The brows turned bushier, the nose higher, eyes had a brighter glimmer which also had tinged of playfulness and borderless confidence.His heavily muscled body slimmed down,
On the flip side, since the one who actually went to C Empire together with Agatha and Ivy turned out to be Ver impersonating Eithan, then where was the real Eithan? Well, in actuality, he never stepped out of Alina City that day. And contrary to what others in the know would definitely assume, he was not chilling out with the kid Brennan or Irene.Unlike the clear weather of C Empire, the whole city was colder than usual due to the heavy downpour. The lights were as colorful and lively as ever. In fact, as the unending droplets of water danced with the neon colors and flashing lights from the shops and vehicles, the sight all over Alina had a different charm on it.However, even if the streets became clogged with cars and boisterous due to the honking noises and pitter-patter sounds, it was still a lot colder than usual.If viewed from a high location, the assortment of umbrellas moving about the place was quite the feast to the eyes. Still, it couldn't be denied that the sidewalks w
Eithan held his breath for a while before looking away and searching for another woman's silhouette."Where is she?!The other individual in the strangely clean room of the abandoned mansion only smiled. Acting like she did not hear his question, she said,"The last time we had a talk was three years ago. And in such an... embarrassing place. How about we take a seat each and discuss the recent changes in the city, especially yours? It's hard for me to imagine that in just three years you, child, would become a superstar. If Christine learned of this, she'd surely gasp in shock. I suddenly have the urge to see that expression."The answer from the system was what he was truly waiting for.When he heard where the girl was, his insides seemed to boil so much. He seldom felt angry up to this degree. Were it not for his tempered expression and acting skills, he would have given away his current emotion.'Is the drug harmful to the body?'He took a deep breath to calm his heart and mind, b
[System: Are you okay?]The worried tone of the self-proclaimed most behaved devil inside his brain worriedly asked, and he had to add that this kind of tone was very rare to hear from this foreign and unwelcomed entity. With a sneer, he answered,'Why wouldn't I be okay? How could a little trick do me harm? I'm no more the immature guy of yesteryears. At least, amateur emotion games like this won't work on me. Otherwise, those guts-wrenching missions and dramas I partook in would have served no lesson in my life!'In front of him, Susan's palm was open. The fairly big bead-like device shone with a soft glow on it. The woman activated it without waiting for his answer. When she pressed its button, light particles resembling luminant dust rose from its surface without pause and formed a projection shaped like a TV screen. The sight was very magical and Susan seemed to want to see a surprised reaction from him due to it. If Susan only did not show a half-expectant, half-proud expressi
It was still under the same blanket of darkness. The guards by the small booth at the left side of Greenpark Village's Western Gate alertly looked at the two men before him. Even though not at the level of a military officer, the two guards would not lose out against those hired to guard a bank and was only a level below a VIP's bodyguards. They were also very professional and knew to not let anyone suspicious in. The two men in front of the guardhouse belonged to what they considered as highly suspicious. Their dark clothes and coats made them looked like they were up to no good. For example, stealing... After all, this place was popular for being the home for the rich and influential. What better robbing targets would there be other than the huge houses and mansions in this subdivision?"Sirs, I'm very sorry but Greenpark Village doesn't accept visitors unless you know someone from inside who will also help fetch you," reminded one of the white-uniformed men. The tone used by this
In the gloomy mansion fifteen minutes away from that gate by foot.The only brightly lit room in that spooky residence was the one the late daughter of the Browns couple used to occupy when she was still alive. Within a huge house that fully covered by shadows and despair, it was quite unnerving to view that scene from the outside.As for what was taking place inside it, the situation was very weird. A man in a red raincoat still dripping from the rain squatted next to a roped-bound woman. Another girl lied near them, and opposite them, near the bed, stood a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed like a socialite.The man was Eithan who came for Irene's rescue. The other girl was a stranger kidnapped for who knows what reason. The middle-aged lady was Susan Browns, Christine's mother who went through a tragic and nauseating incident three years ago.A few minutes earlier Susan was still saying she felt guilty for what Christine made him go through. But now the woman was showing a crazy e
