The sound of the car honking outside brought Lyon and Abraham to the knowledge that Elen was already outside and waiting.“You have to go now,” Abraham said and Lyon nodded, he was ready for whatever comes his way but Abraham still feels the need to warn him.“Also, I want you to know that whatever it is, you’re only learning about it because that’s what your parents wanted.” He added.“I know,” Lyon responded, “I stopped blaming all of you already and the fact that I’m agreeing to this should’ve told you that.” He added.“Your parents left a lot of responsibilities for you but they never thought you would be rising to the occasion so early.” He added.Lyon promised to be cool headed and not to place blame on anyone and after their pep talk, they both went outside to meet Elen.Chelsey was there already and she looked at Lyon with her face red, she blushed really hard but still wondered what was going on.“I hope you’re all okay,” she said with a sigh, “good luck with whatever you pla
Lyon didn’t need to ask, he already knows the kind of threat the man was referring to and he also knows that it was Nicola Gram.“I have a question,” Lyon started as he looked around, although he got the idea of what was going on, he still needed to know what they really wanted.“What do you really expect from me?” He asked as he looked at the old man and then over at the people waiting for the meeting to start.“I’m in my early twenties and still a university student, it’s obvious that I won’t be able to handle any of this.” He finished.Elen wanted to answer the question and since she was in the organization now, she knew that she wasn’t restricted anymore.“It’s why I thought we were going to wait until you’re twenty five before handing everything over to you.” Elen responded and the man agreed.“It’s what your parents wanted and it was also a good thing that your amulet was activated earlier as you already know that’s how we were able to find you.” She continued.“But wouldn’t you
Lyon still felt anger pulsating through him but he didn’t want to go against the organization’s rule.Akira and Lyon spoke for a while and Lyon was able to get the backstory of how everything transpired.He realized that his life had finally started and he isn’t even twenty one yet. He would have to accept all the responsibility and not let his parents down.“I know you’ll do well,” Akira said reassuringly but that was more than what Lyon needed. He knew that he could ask questions but he just didn’t see himself being president of an organization at a really young age.“Nicola is going to do everything he can to make sure that he gets back at your parents.” Akira paused as Lyon looked at him with raised eyebrows.Lyon knew what he meant and since his parents are dead and Nicola still couldn’t get the amulet, he would have no other choice but to come for him.“Why does he still blame them when he’s the reason for everything?” Lyon asked as he clenched his fist in anger.“They would sti
“Who do you think you are?” Nicola sneered, he had tried finding Lyon and he had also almost gotten to him before he lost the signal.He knew that the people around him must have told him what to do because Lyon was just coming up, there was no way he knew that the signal of his amulet could be tapped.“I’m Lyon Armstrong, you moron, aren’t you supposed to have known that about me already?” Lyon responded, he was having fun trying to piss Nicola off.Whatever Lyon was doing was working because Nicola was serious, he was angry and didn’t expect that he would be going head on with a child.“You’re just a boy, Lyon,” Nicola responded as Lyon looked back at his team to smile at them, they looked curious but he wasn’t saying anything.“You don’t even have your bachelor’s degree yet and you think you can take me down?” Nicola laughed while Lyon only listened:“You think you have what it takes to be a hero at your age, you’re barely twenty-two, Lyon Armstrong, I eat boys like you for breakfa
The end of the phone seemed to be silent for a while and it was as though Nicola was thinking about it and weighing his options.Lyon sneered, he knew he had the upper hand but he also knew that Nicola is not the kind of man to back down easily.“Now, Now, Lyon Armstrong, you’re letting power get into your head and trust me, that’s never a good thing.” Nicola said but Lyon didn’t say anything.He wasn’t interested in listening to a maniac talk to him about the things that are right and wrong because no matter how hard he tried, Lyon couldn’t shake off the fact that Nicola killed his parents.“I don’t want moral lessons from you, Nicola,” Lyon retorted silently, “what options are you going for because you must’ve known by now that young people run out of patience easily.” Lyon added.Nicola laughed as he remained silent for a while, “where is the fun in surrendering?” Nicola asked and Lyon snorted.He already knew that Nicola wasn’t going to surrender that easily.“It would be more fun
She got to the research room and Elliot was already there so she couldn’t really do what he had texted her for.Elen focused on working until she got the chance to do what Lyon had asked her to do but Elliot was trying to make small talk with her.“What do you think about him?” Elliot asked and Elen looked at him with a raised eyebrow, “Lyon Armstrong.” Elliot clarified.“I don’t know, he’s our president now.” Elen responded curtly. No one in the organization except for Akira knew that she has been helping Lyon for a while now.They had thought to keep it a secret from everyone and up until the moment Lyon was announced as the president, no one knew.“Do you think he’ll be able to take on the responsibility of a president?” Elliot asked, he was curious and there were other things that he wanted to know.“He’s still a child and I personally don’t think that he’s going to be able to handle whatever comes his way.” He added and Elen nodded.She wasn’t in the mood for a conversation but f
Smiling back at Elliot, Lyon started making his way to the parking lot with different thoughts racing through his mind.He wasn’t leaving because he wasn’t feeling well but because he had a lot to do and he also needed to urgently talk to Abraham and Elen.He sighed as he walked, taking a little tour and he could also somehow feel when someone was trying to pick up the signal of his amulet.His amulet would shine brightly, the light illuminating everywhere and it would just suddenly stop.He only smiled to himself because he knew that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t get the location.When Elliot had called him the other time, he remembered that his system beeps continuously, warning him about a traitor.He knows who the traitor is now all he needs is strong evidence that could prove it.Lyon made up his mind to talk to Abraham about it when he gets home but now, he was going to wait for Elen to come get him since he didn’t bring his car.“Akira?” Lyon called, stopping in
Abraham smirked, he wasn’t surprised that the person Lyon was suspecting was Elliot and instead, he wanted to know why Lyon suspected him.“Elliot Mas,” Abraham repeated as he turned to face Lyon with a raised eyebrow, “he’s been in the organization for years.” He added and Lyon nodded.“You don’t seem surprised that I’m suspecting him, why?” Lyon asked as he braced himself to hear something he hadn't heard before but Abraham didn’t intend to tell him.“I have reasons to suspect him too,” Abraham said, the flashback of what happened between him and Elliot played back in his head and he shuddered.“That son of a bitch had always given me the ick.” Abraham finished, his eyes closed and he felt like he was in the same position again.“It’s against the rules to say something against a fellow agent and that’s why I haven’t said anything since.” Abraham said and Lyon smirked.“I’m glad I’m the president then because the last thing I usually do is play by the rules.” Lyon sneered.He has bee
