Genesis: Freed.

Chapter 15:

Every night and every day was the same for Winter, sleeping more than the established 5 minutes would be torture. What was a brief tranquility became an endless torment, a tunnel where he could not find an exit, Kacper was submerged in that tunnel of darkness, his face showed that anxiety, anguish and despair. Maybe it was because of what he did every night behind the backs of the people who know him, maybe it was some trauma, but with Winter things were just mysterious.

The albino would wake up in a cold, shaken sweat. He was sitting on his sofa and with his legs semi-flexed he would bring his hands to his face. He protected himself, but from what and why? That silent house was the only refuge that Winter had for him, no one from his work or his guards dared to enter his private space.

Between slight panting, she ends up hearing the ringing of a dark cell phone, a message that would break the silent moment, a moment in which Winter had to recover and see the reality of her nightmares. Winter had been surprised to see those text messages because he had not expected the return of his teacher and personal bodyguard, Nestor Taras, so soon.

The albino would get up from the couch and grab his black trench coat to put on the road while he put on his black shoes. The albino could have called Erza and Ronald but they don't have a lot of work at this time like the rest apart from the fact that he wanted to have time with the person who educated him so he asked for a taxi to the airport.

Although it was something known about Nestor Taras, it was that he was always someone noble, firm, strict and very faithful to his decisions. After the death of his old leader and the arrival of the new one, he had to take on more responsibilities and obligations, new roles that he had never had in his long career as a security leader and personal bodyguard.

Taras, or known as the minotaur lord, was a man capable of carrying the weight of his leader and his position, but after the arrival of the albino as his new boss, he turned all this into a refuge for the minor, it was like seeing a Bear defending her cub from any threat as a result, Winter had to ask Mr. Taras that he should no longer carry the weight he was carrying and instead the young albino would carry it now.

The albino saw the streets being illuminated by the streetlights, he was able to contemplate the bridge that revealed an illuminated city surrounded by ports and the sea. A view that left more than words to express. Near the airport the boy could see a man with autumnal orange hair with slight gray gradients at the ends of his hair and beard as if they were locks, he could see that elegant and good-looking style . So straight, broad-shouldered, and with a very manly and virile square chin that despite being older his appearance was preserved too much, he was like a wine that despite being years had an excellent flavor. The boy would pay the taxi and go down to get to the side of that man.

"We haven't seen... who knows how long and you're still the same as when I left the house to go to Tyrion . - The albino commented with a slight smile of rebellion.

—Young Winter, you know that we minotaurs age slowly, as for you, you have grown too much. Three years old, he was 14 when he left that house and now he returns with 17 years. Humans grow so fast. - Said the man with a hoarse and seductive voice.

—Don't cry that due to that small flaw in my genes I don't age like ordinary humans, but well, let's leave that issue aside. The boy said with an imperceptible pout. — You must be hungry, the airlines do not have that seasoning that you like. —

— Will you invite me to dinner? How kind though not my type, sir. - Said the older with a joking tone.

" Ugh , those beaten brains gave you that terrible mood, I won't leave you with the Witteric twins . " —

"You're right, the twins have a very interesting humor." I heard that he was enrolled in an institute called Heath , an ally of the Damocles organization, which is not having a good time. —

— It seems you had time to investigate, Mr. Alexander signed me up and explained it to me when he received my call. —

—I don't think that choice is so bad, you would have refused all the time if I had told you, it's also good for me that you have schoolmates who have more books to accommodate. —

— What's wrong with arranging my new books? —

'You didn't order them, sir. —

The boy only looked away and then walked in the opposite direction of the elder, Nestor would smile because for him it would mean that the minor would agree with him.

—We can go to the city Ledoux , it has some better restaurants than Maverick to be more honest. —

"Sure, I think it's a good idea." I would also like to stay up late today since I slept all day. —

—I see you were bored, anyway, Ledoux has its nightlife so don't be surprised by what you see. —

The eldest began to laugh at the boy's comment and then took a taxi to the city of Ledoux , the nocturnal city, a place where the beings of the night walked freely while the diurnal beings dominated the day.

Unlike the other cities, Ledoux was a peaceful city where the rich and middle class people lived in harmony or so it was said, the reality was that Winter attended that city when she was not sleeping and returned at 3 in the morning to her house, everything that happened in Ledoux stayed in Ledoux and that was by law.

Mafia, drugs, prostitution work among others was what dominated the east side of the city while on the other side, there were more parties, bars, luxury restaurants among other things; his government covered the sun with a single finger, which worked perfectly for them since it was one of the most visited cities in the world.

Once in the city, Winter and Nestor had decided to go to a hotel to reserve some rooms and spend the night in the city. The rooms were too ostentatious for a rich man and for Winter's tastes that was too much but he couldn't stiffen about it, it was only one night and the advice Nestor gave him was "Just enjoy yourself for one night." Only in this way did he resist the exaggeration of the luxuries of that room.

Meanwhile in Maverick ; the main district. The professionals were gathered or at least the majority. Wentworth had to attend such a meeting in virtual but with a companion, a boy with golden blonde hair and strong blue eyes intense as the sea, he had a slim body that made fire with his degrafilado mushroom cut. However, he would not be the only one to attend, his partner Persephone had attended, that purple-haired girl could not be able to get away from her father Clemente Amaury's side.

“Young Hiyori , it's good to see you after a few days. The girl said professionally.

"Miss Amaury, I am pleased to see you back." How is your father? - The blond boy answered in the same way.

"Well, he's stubborn but he doesn't push himself too hard, so you could say he's fine as long as he knows his current limits." How is Mr. Wentworth ? —

"He's stubborn, too much." He is aware of his condition but wants to continue working despite his injuries so he remains in the infirmary for now under the director's orders, only then does he stay still. —

Both boys chatted quietly while they made time, on the other hand, the older ones observed such a relationship. Clemente would turn to see the screen in front of him where he would see his partner who was still in the infirmary. You could see his short, uncombed hair with some gauze and bandages on his face that covered his wounds and scrapes, it was the first time he was not wearing his glasses so his platinum eyes and his black sclera would be seen.

“You should pay more attention to your body, Draven . I know you, I know that you are not able to leave your job halfway but you should be more aware of your health. —

The major would arch his eyebrow and then put on a neutral expression.

—Said by a dragon that allowed itself to be dominated by the black magic of a Dark Magian . Don't give me advice that I won't obey. —

Clemente would remain silent because despite showing no expressions he could feel that comment would make him feel bad. He was aware that his partner's condition was his fault and he wanted to remedy it in some way but he was not someone who showed affection for others. In a nutshell Clemente did not know how to give it, he did not know how to give a hug when needed, much less did he know how to give a smile and when he wanted to do something he misunderstood because it was not clear to them.

—It seems that the atmosphere here is dense, let me break it. How have they been after that? I know that one is not well and the other is distant as always but we are glad that they are alive. — Commented his effeminate companion while resting his chin on his arm resting on the table.

"No issues so far, well from my side, however, I'll check on Hiyori from time to time while Draven recovers. " —

" Hiyori told me that his daughter is going to visit him and that you have been aware of him. You shouldn't do it, the boy is independent on his own. —

"Well, leaving your family matters aside, I have a very thick rumor." —

The whole room fell silent, the eyes went in the direction of the effeminate dark-haired man who would smile with his intense red lips.

—It is possible that two representatives of two departments fulfill a project of the young man we have the benefit of the doubt, Winter Kacper Zackharov . —

—Impossible, the brat doesn't have enough rank to demand the presence of the professionals. Said the shadow of its own volition, Blum .

— Blum is right, young Winter can't do it unless Mr. Akira and Principal Lockwood have made a deal. Pearson explained to confirm his shadow demon's point.

“They made the deal, young Zackharov convinced the president of the city of Claython to accept the blizzard project, a security system more advanced and precise than ours. The project is that Damocles has the technology to take care of the city but on the condition that the young albino is aware of us for a few months. The green-haired woman, Miss Zendaya , affirmed .

The men and women in that room did not know what that project had consisted of until now, a project in which they will have the opportunity to redeem the mistake of not having protected a city, an opportunity that had been given to them by the very person they suspected and that he was now risking his public figure to give them the benefit of the doubt. If the young Winter had found out that the teachers suspected him , the boy would have responded in a more courteous way; a white glove slap to each of them.

—It seems that we have been very suspicious of a young man who is helping us out of this conflict. Wendel Pearson said with a look of embarrassment.

—I don't agree to go with the boy, he must be planning something. That boy comes out of nowhere after three years, there is a fight at school which is justified and then after the catastrophe he appears as our lifesaver. He is a boy that nothing is known about, no matter how much I investigated him, I only found rumors about him, zero about his personal life, zero about any relationship and zero about his past. That boy doesn't deserve to be out of the question. — Said the eldest through the screen.

"You're right, Mr. Wentworth , but I'll tell you why. " — Said the director while watching the others from the door. —The young Winter inherited the industry at the age of 13, was educated by the leader of his private security Nestor Taras and has had erratic clashes with other businessmen, including Mr. Simón Arwald , Winter was constantly rejected by the elders but also It was a pedestal for some. His hermetic attitude is due to these constant attacks and from what I saw while talking to the president, the boy should not be in the benefit of the doubt but in observation to be attached to the corporation while he attends school. —

- What do you mean, director? It's a boy who got into a fight at school to defend someone in the wrong way, Hiyori and I have been giving it our all so that a boy with a golden cradle comes along like nothing happened. — Protested against Persephone.

—I recognize the worth of each one of my men, my friends and you, but what I saw in that boy was that he knew how to convince people, it was like seeing the same devil and the same god at the same time. So merciful yet so aggressive that he can easily fool you. Darrin walked towards his desk while looking out the window. —Clemente commented in the last meeting in which we all attended that the boy observed everything around him and that he did not stand out like the other rich boys, Draven confirmed that the boy is telepathic and I saw that the boy is making an effort big; a sacrifice of his image so that we can go on. If we fail for once, the boy will show his face as the person responsible for what will fall very deep for society, it is in our hands not to commit a failure in those 6 months of supervision. —

Persephone was against everything, she didn't want a boy who had just arrived to be included in the corporation, it didn't matter if he was helping them or not, she didn't want to compromise the agency. Draven 's pride was hurt, having a guy who is giving his all around him would only make him angry with himself while Hiyori didn't like the idea of having him as boss.

The others were just reflective. Clemente watched them in that deep silence, you could feel the dense tension, wound in the ego was remarkable so the dragon would break the silence.

"I'm not in a position to introduce myself and Draven is not in a position to leave the agency without being 100% okay, so I'm putting my heiress, Miss Persephone Amaury, as the representative of my diplomacy department. " —

The girl had been perplexed by the comment, she didn't expect her father to have that confidence in her to represent his department, so she didn't want to question it.

—Clemente is right, I am not in a position to go, my son Hiyori Wentworth will represent the Advanced Sciences and Research Department. — The elder concluded.

The boy, unlike Persephone , expected it, he was Draven 's assistant and son, so he would do everything necessary to leave his adoptive father's surname high.

The meeting would conclude that both boys would go with the director to tomorrow's meeting, an evaluation that the albino would make of the boys to see their usefulness in their work.
