“... A!"“.. Ra!"“Vera!" Vera's eyes snapped open as she felt drawn to reality by a familiar voice. She looked around to see where she was, but was stunned to see herself on the floor beside Evan's office door.“What happened to me?" She frowned as she tried to get up but noticed that her legs weren't responding to her.She was just about to stand up again when a strong pair of arms held her from moving. She frowned and was about to complain when she realized that it was Evan that held her. “Is everything okay, Vera? You passed out," Evan asked softly, but one could hear the worry in his voice. Vera stared at him blankly but after she realized what he said, she gazed down at her leg and sighed lightly.Her shoulders felt numb and she could feel the throbbing pain attempting to tear her head apart. “I saw… a light,” She frowned as she felt something was wrong. This felt like a deja Vu almost as though it has happened before. Yes, she had experienced something like this back home
“Welcome, welcome to Santos City,haha!" Edward excused himself from his ‘ guest ‘ as he strode towards the newly arrived guest in the room. He stepped toward and made a handshake in which Atalion gladly accepted with a smile on his face. “I thank you for the invite and hope the event goes well. It was so unfortunate that the others couldn't make it here," Atalion said in a respectful tone and Edward's left hand waved in the air as an indication that he didn't take it to heart." It doesn't matter how many if the guest I invited here…it just matters on who accepted the invitation,” He smiled and Atalion nodded in understanding.“I hope that I am not too late?" Atalion asked after a short laugh and Edward shook his head, then said." Your timing is perfect,” He replied. " Please come with me as I introduce you to my people. Your journey to this place must have caused a lot. If you know what I mean,” " Ah…Do not worry too much about it. Everything has been taken care of," Atalion repl
Silence fell inside the hall as everyone stared at the image before them. It wasn't just any image…it was something that can change the future if Santos City.“Seeing how hight the crime rate is in the city. I have decided to join hands with our friendly city and make sure that the people in Santos City are safe. Please allow me to introduce Atalion Asverd, the leader of Venton City. The number one city who is known for their military, economical and security. They are the one we are making pathnership with," Edward introduced as he stepped aside for Atalion to walk on the stage and present himself to the people in the hall.Atalion who had a blank expression on his face made his way to the mic and stood before the people with a sharp and clear eyes. " I thank everyone for accepting the invite and wishing well the success of this cooperation. Your loyalty will never be forgotten by us and the city. We will make sure that none of your generations as from now on lacks anything.” Atalio
Before they could move forward and attack whoever their target was. Ezra stepped out of the shadows with her daggers in hand. She neither made any noise nor attacked them on stepping out.She wouldn't afford to get caught in such position. And what if this people was the guards of one of the powerhouses inside that room?She didn't say a word and instead moved behind them with the dagger in hand. She glanced at the two guards on the floor who were unconscious, probably dead.“Let's kill the one with the curly grey hair and the one with dark hair. After we are done with that let's escape the premises," The one who appeared to be the leader said and his minors nodded in agreement.He took out his sword and started to make his way towards the back entrance of the building. But before they could get inside, the leader stopped as though he felt something.Like they were being watched. After a few beats of silence, he clenched his sword tightly as he turned sharply towards the place he felt
Evan’s eyes darted around,quickly, as he grabbed the silver jug. He knew that he could stop the sword from impaling Atalion,but just before he could throw the silver jug,he noticed that Edward was also looking at the Man and there was a small smile playing on his lips and his eyes seemed to have a gleam.It was then that he realized that Edward knew that Atalion was going to be attacked. He closed his eyes for a mini second as he contemplated between getting seen by Edward or saving Atalion.He opened his eyes and slowly dropped the silver jug on the table,deciding that it was just better to keep maintaining a low profile since he didn’t want Edward’s attention on him.The Man smiled slowly as he noticed Evan dropping the jug,he immediately took that as his cue to throw the sword and he immediately ran away,thinking that Evan was going to change his mind and come after him.He knew that Evan had seen him and wondered who he was and why he did nothing when it was clear that he was aimi
Evan plopped onto the sofa in the living room, his eyes,portraying a mix of both annoyance and guilt.He felt that he had enough time to have stopped what happened, but that was not his main concern, his concern was that the masked man was skilled, and no matter how hard he tried to guess, he still was unable to figure out who it was. It infuriated him.Although it was fortunate that Atalion was still breathing. Being in a Coma did not mean death. Evan felt that he brought it upon himself as he had come to the city because of Edward. He still couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something wrong. And there was also the fact that the Mayor's facial expression showed that he knew that an attack was imminent.Evan was certain that he had seen a smile on Edwards's face, but he had no idea if it was real or if he had just imagined it as his focus was on the masked man.He closed his eyes and just then began to hear loud footsteps. He opened his eyes, realizing that she was on her w
Vera was even more startled by the question, but she didn't show it. Instead, she shook her head."No idea—I have been busy, you know."Evan nodded. She had told him about some moguls that she needed to entice."Why? Let me guess, you saw her at the event."He glanced at her and she smiled. "You're so predictable, you know.""And that's because you know me.""So what happened?" She asked again. She was already getting very curious."Well, that's it."She shook her head, but just as she was about to say something. He interrupted her immediately."I want you to hack into the CCTV. There are tons of them in that location that could give us an idea of whoever the culprit is."Vera knew that for him to have asked her to have the security camera, meant that something was indeed very wrong. The thing is, she had no idea how wrong was the wrong."Well?" He glanced at her as he noticed that she wasn't saying anything and she grinned."Sure thing boss. Come with me. It wouldn't take time," she
Evan stood up and walked towards the source of the sound, while Ezra stood behind the cabinet, her heart thudding wildly as she thought about what Evan would do when he saw her.Just as Evan was about to look behind the cabinet, one of Vera's burner phones which was only used to contact one of their spies began to ring and Evan halted in his tracks and slowly spun around to face Vera.She turned the phone to him and he furrowed his brows as he saw that it was an unknown caller."What—" Vera scrunched her face. She was convinced that the line was secure. She had no idea why an unknown caller was calling the line."I can hack it quickly to get the location and a name—-" Vera was saying when Evan held out a hand to her."No, there's no need for that."Vera narrowed her eyes at him, wondering what he meant by telling her to not check who it was.She raised a brow, realizing that he must've known or guessed who was calling."Who is it?""We have much bigger concern than one phone call whic
