Blanche passed through the kitchen door with a waffle half-eaten and wireless earbuds were on her ears while listening to what Hent was instructing her.
She has gotten another MTK, but this time, she swore to kill him to end his misery.
She sat in the hotel living room and opened the folder with the information of Xian Cheng.
"He always goes to the rooftop of his company at night and he was so concerned about his looks."
The sun was setting down and Blanche ended her briefing with Hent, she stretched her arms and finished the rest of her waffles before grabbing her cardigan and stepped out of the hotel.
The big Christmas was the main attraction of the hotel lounge, no doubt, it was covered with fake snow and was surrounded by a sting barrier that they'd opened on Christmas eve.

Daily updates coming right up!
"Mission Complete."As soon as Blanche heard Misha barged in her room and blurted that out, she snapped and jump to her feet and saw the grinning face of Misha."Great job, Misha." Astolfo stepped out of his room and smiled at Misha. "Just like what I expected you'd do. Swift."Misha replied with a nod and turned her head to Blanche. "How about you, seventy-two?"Blanche raised one of her brows in return. "Did you finish doing the memo I gave you?"Misha folded her arms across her chest, she sat on the red sofa and stretched her legs on the center table. "Why would I do that? I don't see why's that necessary."Blanche knew that something was wrong on the day Misha showed and blurted her accomplishment. Her mouth went agape, she never saw Moss after they'd finished their mission, yet she needed his presence mor
Blanche was too late. Before she could turn around Noa threw her hands up and threw the chocolate bar in her direction. "Dada!" Blanche and Farah were horrified with what Noa blurted and before they could turn their heads to the man Noa called, he was already in the middle of entering his red range rover. Another man in a black suit assisted him and got to the other side of the door before they accelerated and two other black cars tailed them. "Cleo?" Farah called, she's helping Noa wiped her chocolate filled-mouth with a wet towel. "Are you alright? You look pale." Farah reached for her shoulder and tap it slightly. Blanche blinked and Farah pointed out at her bottom. "I'm sorry, Noa ruined your clothes." "No, it's fine. By the way, I gotta go to the apartment now!" S
"My name's Blanche." Blanche held her breath as she stood on the podium with lots of people wearing black jumpsuits. She was in the dome, specifically in front of the specials and behind the privileged. Red words flashed on the big screen in capital letters, they spelled out her name and Blanche noticed the smirked etched on the man before her. "You're the girl," he muttered, unlike any other, the man was wearing a black three-piece business suit with a cowboy hat, he looked like someone who trades in with money than special. As Blanche thought, she was proclaimed today as one with them. With the hierarchy they made, it's safe to say that Blanche moved on to the third part of the pyramid, just below the highest part. "And I'm here for the position to be one of the specials." Blanche bit the insides of her ch
It was like a child playing in the sandbox in Central Park. He was with his toy dinosaurs and lego blocks. He was contented for a while not until some other kids arrived and stole his toys. "It was nothing," he said, but Blanche can hear the crack in his voice. Blanche closed the door behind her and the bag of croquettes they bought down on his coffee table. She watched as he entered his room and the door parallel to his, it was painted with a cream color. It was done just only a few days ago, the fresh paint still lingered on her nostrils taking the sight of the smooth painted door. The contract was nowhere to be found. The door was cold, it was like no one has ever touched it from all the days she's been gone. It was like the contract never existed. The door in his room opened ,he turned around and saw Ace holding a s
Breaking News: Billionaire Businessman Xian Cheng was found dead in his father's secret den. (5-minute read) CEO of a famous textile company was found stabbed to death in The Kingdom (the name of his father's secret den) on a Saturday evening. It was said that he was already dead 3 days ago before authorities found his body through a mysterious intel they got in an online platform called Chat****.

The bodyguards quickly cleared the area leaving the chance of Xian Cheng being killed. The Kingdom was established on the underground of his textile company (inherited by his father). It was reported that this was a den for gambling, sextortion, excessive alcohol consumption, drugs, smo
The blinding lights danced with the people as they tried to tune up with the rock music that was being played. It was nothing compared to the first time Blanche went to the Drollery. There's a podium with a pole on the side just before the stage and the bar, people partying have red cups and some of them were sitting on the spiral staircase that led to a VIP lounge. It was more like a club now than a drollery. As Ainé has said, there's a tradition every month that turn the drollery into a club and that the entertainers have their room to meet and greet fans of them. That's why, Blanche was also here, standing in the Drollery after the moon showed up, clutching her handbag tightly, she adjust the strap of her black dress. She was told to come dressed as someone who wants to join the party, so she wore her black heels with red soles and a spaghetti strap little black dress that ends j
"I hate you."Blanche turn away and crossed her arms, she was about to leave when a strong arm pulled her arms and forced her to face him."This is just a misunderstanding." He tried to sound convincing but Blanche couldn't buy it, she glowered at him. Ace became restless, his arms couldn't stay on his side, his face display fear, contemplation, and nervousness as if he was trying to prove himself to an honorable judge on a moot court.The woman whom Blanche found together with him, stood there with her arms on her side, her grey party dress was disheveled from the hem proving that she was doing something with her employee that wasn't written on the rules.The door was closed and only the muffled cries of those party people and beat of the music can be heard on such a secluded VIP lounge of him."I told you, you got it all wrong she was just trying to help me put my clothes on because I sprained my arm afte
"I'm not."Cleo raised a single brow on what Misha mumbled, she gave an unconvincing look and held the can of beer tightly. "Fool yourself."She doesn't drink, she was on the right age to drink but she doesn't want to taste any alcohol, she saw what alcohol can do to your body and it's unpleasant so no one can convinced her to drink one."No. Really. I just thought this is a great way to sympathize you."Even though that one only wants to symphathize you or was just a messed up bitch and assumed that she needed it.Blanche doesn't know what to reply. Misha had always been there since her childhood, both Astolfo watched her grew up.She was tempted to taste a beer because of that. Misha was right, she needed someone's sympathy right now."Thank you.""Remember the guy you killed? He was connected with the Crowne's," Misha said in a more loud voice that she didn't know
“Never do that again, Blanche.”Blanche nodded, giving in to Hent that she’s wrong on thinking that she could handle all the problems that came in her way alone, sometimes, problems required friends so that you can solve them, just like what Hent said; two can tango.It was in the middle of the night, the moon creepily sought them as Hent and Blanche prepare for the next plan. It’s clear that the vital thing for the organization was not Blanche anymore, it’s Hent, but they learned better, they knew their rotten personality and bad things they did to them, so in order to not have Hent, Blanche arranged that Hent should be taken out of the abandoned building and she’ll be in hiding in the apartment, specifically in the room of Blanche that’s parallel to Ace.She knew how to go there by copying what Astolfo did, peak on the window first, Hent would be shu
Even if Alas looked like a self-centered narcissist, he still has a sense of pity, just a bit though, a tiny bit. For his brother who’s always had the center of attention, for his brother who gets all the love in the world.Alas grew up knowing that he’s not the favorite child, but when their mother died, things take a turn and in just a blink of an eye he was on the room listening to his father as he declared him the next heir of the family’s business.“I won’t let you, Alas,” Ace replied with a stern voice.“Well then.” He walked back to Ace’s bedroom and take a look over the window.“What if I told you that she wants to kill you?”Ace followed him, but his face didn’t move an inch, making Alas conclude that he knew that all along. “How can you do that?” That moment,
“Now that it’s clear Mr. Tassel don’t want to join us, what’s your next plan?”Blanche turned to the computer screen, it was another day and they’re on the abandoned building again, Moss was trying to have a conversation with Blanche while Rat just stood beside the door with his palms buried on his face.It wasn’t like she never told him not to be here ever again, she just told him that his job was done after they got Hent. But Rat doesn’t like that idea, he never talked to Blanche after they got Hent though, it’s always a filler word, sometimes in Moss conversation or in command.Blanche let the poor guy stay. He’s the one who showed them the abandoned place so its just reasonable to let him stay.But one fact surface from all, Blanche thought she could pull Mr. Tassel to let go of the organization and rebel against them, she
As Ace went on to his car with Dog on the passenger seat, he blew air from his rolled-up window and whispered if that’s the thing that his mother wanted.Ace gave it to Alas.Ace’s always the one who gave, Ace protects his brother, Ace loves him, Ace…For years, he has the job of protecting his brother, he had a camouflage and worked at a comedy bar as a jester so that he’ll have a flexible schedule because when Alas needs his help, he shall be there for him no matter what.Because he’s the next leader, the heir to the family, he shall be protected, the family shall put their focus on Alas and trained him to be the next leader, that’s why he always have to do something outside and inside the country, he always have men that observed his surroundings and keep him away from harm, a henchman that would go wherever he wanted him to go.
“Blanche and I were part of a mission to kill your friend,” Misha started, Slidell’s mind wasn’t on the postponed date now, but on the fact that the whole night, Misha opened up to him.He felt like he had a new responsibility to protect, what Misha said and what she’s going to say was something she let him hold, because she trusts him already.“But Blanche didn’t kill him, as what you see. She fell in love with him instead.”Slidell had no idea whose friend she’s talking, not until she continued, that friend… was Ace Crowne.“What?!” He half-shouted and half of the people in the coffee shop turned their heads on them, so he repeated it with a hushed tone,“Why do you want to kill Ace Crowne?”-“She wanted
“Hent, you recognize me now?”It took a few seconds for Hent to reboot, her processor was a bit louder than usual, Blanche could here her CPU running.And it looked so difficult for Hent, because of her other parts still missing, her skin, the narrow fissures, hair and ears, it looked like she was just a standard robot now.After getting her out of the organization, Moss, Rat and Blanche together with Hent went to the abandoned building.The curse place was the perfect hiding place for them, no intruders dared to step out because of the circulating ghost rumors, and no one dared to speak or point on the abandoned building. Seems like people really put the curse in this to the highest level.It’s a cool thing that Rat worked many jobs and have known this. Blanche is not afraid of ghost, she doesn’t believe in one, one could only believe when you first see i
Hent opened her eyes just after the whole lab room lit up.“Who are you?” she saw the lady in all black who entered in the room and step on her platform as unidentified.Blanche couldn’t believe what Hent just said, she was sitting on a silver chair with wires come from her limbs and arm and a lot on her head, there’s plenty of black wires in her head and it’s all connected to the big computer with 2 small ones outside of her platform.She feels so cold, its like something has change but Blanche couldn’t point what that was.Or she could, she just doesn’t want to accept it. As she inched closer to Hent, her metal skin become more evident, it’s like they peeled of her skin, and she’s left with nothing but a white piece of cloth, evidence that she was put to pieces were visible for her skin has a lot of fissures than ever before.
“We only have limited time, are you ready?” Blanche repeated with worry in her voice. Rat’s slicing onions with a butcher’s knife with such mastery and skill, and as if he didn’t heard Blanche from the second time, he turned on the stove and sauté his chopped onions and minced garlic in a pan. The yummy smell didn’t take too long for the whole room to take.“Rachmaninoff.”Rat stopped and watched the spatula fall from his grip. “Blanche.”Blanche crossed her arms and rested the side of her body on the door frame. “Oh, so now we’re saying each other’s name.”Rat turned to the fridge and Blanche heavily sighed. Blanche became worried as soon as she gave him a suitcase full of money the other day on the abandoned building.“This is going to be your payment, you could take i
"If you're going to take your girlfriend to a date, where would it be?"Ace raised his head from the book he's reading to face Slidell.It's all about having a dragon as a pet, he heard Slidell's question, but he's on the part where the dragon caught a robber sneaking in the house, and so he weighed their importance for a moment before taking the time of turning the page to read what's next.Slidell threw a cushion at him, they’re in the living area of his flat, and Ace was sitting on the seat Blanche sat in the morning, with his two feet placed on the coffee table and his nose buried in the book that he found on Slidell's shelf."What?!" Ace caught the blue square cushion that was thrown with just one hand."Who's the girlfriend your referring to?" He closed the book and sat just what Slidell want him to do, he settled forward and put placed his arm on his knee and touch his chin, giving his full attention
