With a scratch on his cheek, Yen, disguised as Dr. Gil, walked out of the hotel he'd rented the previous day.Acting blind to the obvious man who had been following him day in and day out, Yen walked into his black car and after ignition, he drove off.The man quickly entered a scooter parked in one of the parking lots and drove after Yen, who continued to act ignorant of the fact that he was being trailed.'I guess I'll just go about my usual routine once more." Yen said with a dull look on his face.{And what's this usual routine of yours?} Stem asked as it wanted to know if there was a different routine Yen took aside the ones it was aware of."Heading to work as usual and then supervising the activities of every worker. While I do that, I might as well, take a few glimpses at Rotlitch to see how well he's doing with his new job and how well he'd do on the mission we assigned to him." Yen replied, his voice tainted with worry and anticipation for the event that was to come."Beside
"Ladies and gentlemen, workers and workers," at the second phrase, the workers of the company exploded into laughter."That… Well, I didn't know what else to say. So I just blurted that out." Rotlitch stood before the other workers, his face red from embarrassment.All thirty workers of the new company were gathered around, standing before an erected podium where Rotlitch stood, dressed in a black suit and a tie."All I've said before was in preparation for what I was about to say. Please, let us welcome the newest member of the company. The newest member of the ship that had already set sail. Dr. Yen." As he introduced Yen, he ended the introduction with a clap that went on to spread among the workers and soon, everyone was clapping.Yen smiled as he approached the podium which had been vacated for him.He gave a polite nod of acknowledgment to Rotlitch before standing in front of the podium to address the others. "Thank you all. Really, thank you all for the warm welcome. While I ca
Yen walked into the building, disguised as a chubby man with a large belly.He had a hunch that he'd been seen by Rotlitch but there was nothing to be worried about since he'd informed Rotlitch earlier.Making his way to one of the top floors, Yen quickly arrived at one of the vacant offices and changed back into his outfit as Dr. Yen, who he'd taken with him inside his inventory."Done for today." With a proud smile that showed his satisfaction with his achievement for today, Yen walked out of the office room and headed for the room assigned to him for his position.Production was ongoing on the second floor and a part of the third floor where Dr. Yen's office resided along with the office allocated to research and testing of pills.Yen was the only one placed in this room as all he had to do was evaluate the pills that came to him on a daily basis and even carry out tests on some of the pills if need be. When not working, he was to do research into other types of pills the company c
Angrily, Grey left the building area and got onto his bike which he'd parked not too far away, and drove off, heading back to the hotel.Arriving at the hotel, he received his key and headed for his room without a word, his anger visible on his face.The attendant all did their best not to piss him off and simply let him go.Within minutes, he reached his hotel room and locked the door behind him. He fell onto his bed and began beating on it in frustration.After a few seconds of his display of madness and anger, he seemed to calm down but the frustration was still held within his eyes.Picking up his phone, he dialed a number a few seconds later, it went through. "There's bad news," Grey said on the phone before the receiver even had the chance to mutter a word."Hmm?" Bhulk finally answered, his reply a humming sound."A rather pesky fellow has caught up to me," Grey announced, his voice entailing his anger and frustration.Bhulk's answer was exactly what Grey had expected from him.
It had only been three hours since Bhulk arrived at the City but all five major families already knew of his arrival. Even those who didn't employ his services like the Shin family.The single reason why they knew was because they'd either lost a few individuals to the organization he came from or employed their services a few times.His organization, although shrouded in secrecy, was not a secret organization. They specialized in assassination and the reason why they survived until now was because the major families from the various cities wished it to be so.Many of these families had uses for this organization's existence.Hearing of Bhulk's appearance in Wewsa City, Kai Shin was especially alert. He was certain that before Bhulk left, an individual from the major families or of equal reputation with them would lose his life.He was certain it would be a male because Bhulk's targets had always been males which he'd torture.Since the Shin Estate was almost entirely sealed off from
As the cab he'd taken got closer to his destination, Yen's new device finished the backup restoration and he immediately called Rotlitch's number."Hey, what's up? I've been trying to get to you since last night." Rotlitch didn't waste a second to answer and started an interrogation of Yen's previous night.Only after hearing Yen's narration did he calm down. "Thank goodness you're okay." Rotlitch sighed as he also planned to inform Yen of the arrival of a certain figure he believed to be the reason for the preparation Yen had been making days past."Yeah, I've been briefed about him already and I'm well aware he's here for me. I just have one request for you though.""What is it?" Rotlitch asked, trusting Yen's decision fully.I'll"In about an hour, head to the Shin family estate and meet with the family head. Along with him, you should plan a funeral for Dr. Gil. It's quite unfortunate but he'll be dying today." Yen announced as a shocked gasp escaped Rotlitch's mouth."What do you
Rotlitch arrived at Yen's house and since he couldn't drive in, he jumped the short fence and ran into the building. "Yen! Where the hell are you!?"Rotlitch searched the entire building but couldn't find Yen anywhere close by."He's not home." After a thorough search that revealed Yen wasn't home, Rotlitch ran out of the house again, dialing Kento's number rather than Kai's.He knew Kau was a family head and would be busy so he didn't want to bother him. Little did he know that Kai, after hearing Yen's words on the call, had also embarked on a search for Yen, and as such, he and Kento were on their way here."Did you find him?" Kento's first question after answering the call was asking Yen's whereabouts."No! He's not at home and I can't think of another place where he might've gone. Oh, the hotel," a thought popped into Rotlitch's head that died down as a result of Kento's next words."He hasn't checked in since yesterday." Kento interrupted Rotlitch's line of thought."And he certa
Far away from the city of Wewsa, a city millions of miles away, a twelve-story building stood firm on the main streets.The top floor was occupied by a seemingly ordinary old man but those who knew him knew not to call him 'ordinary'. He was anything but ordinary in the eyes of many. With white short hair and a beard, he looked old when he was just over forty.His emerald green eyes sparkled through the glasses he wore and over his left eye was a vertical scar that ran from his forehead to his cheek.Adorned in dark blue suits and sitting in this office-like room—which had a round desk, three chairs, and a large wardrobe—he inspected every corner with sharp gazes every few minutes.Crack!He heard a sound and his head turned in the direction of the crack.On one of the walls, hundreds of glass orbs were placed orderly in ten columns but varying rows that showed a certain ranking from highest to lowest. As the columns descended, the glass orbs became smaller.On the ninth column, one o
