CH-5 The plan... [2]

"Boss..." Zeno murmured to herself. Iris was an idol in her eyes, a figure who occupied both the role of terminator of criminals and that of a helper.

Zeno comprehended Iris's last sentence's meaning, and they repeated in her mind. 'When the watchman is the thief, how can people feel safe?'

The phase of words conveys the idea that if those entrusted with protecting others are actually the ones who harm others, it's difficult for people to feel secure.

It speaks to a sense of betrayal and less of trust in authority figures or institutions.

"Hmm?" I looked at Zeno, who seemed lost in thought… Could it be that she's infatuated with someone else and unable to concentrate on her duties?

Perhaps I can facilitate her in alleviating her stress... O-Okay, Though, I'm indifferent to her health but she is my subordinate, And a responsible leader always inclined to the needs of their team.

Nevertheless, I talked about my intentions. "Ah, today, At night, I shall raid into their terror. Given that this small kingdom is still under governmental rule, there may be valuable artifacts such as cameras or documents pertaining to this organization."

It would be advantageous for all my allies involved if I were to intervene.

"Firstly... Provide me with a laptop, I have a little job." I asserted, prompting Zeno to comply by nodding and handing me a laptop.

Back when I was on Earth, I was a hacker — pretty superior at it, though not immaculate.

I used to hack articles and sometimes even infiltrate press conferences for enjoyment, but I never managed to crack into the systems of big companies.

In Beche, where I now reside, things are much more futuristic and pioneering.

We've got flying cars making their way into the public market, along with a whole bunch of other cool vehicles.

Even though this world is still developing, the technology here is mind-blowing.

Take, for instance, the gospel that there are only three servers and one internet tower for the whole world, yet the internet speed is lightning-fast.

Heh... That appended an addendum page of intrigue for me.

I can easily take control of servers, hack into banks in this world, and, most importantly, gather valuable information.

Overall, I should be quite pleased, as only time will reveal the true security measures of this Kingdom's servers. TeeHeehee~~ Time for some naughty hotty odds and ends.

—Click

Tapping away keys on the laptop, I build a fake ID and some malicious servers for some different strategies for scheme.

Zeno sat beside me, detecting my actions with keen interest. I don't mind her scrutiny; because she's genuine in her own right, and her skills almost seventy percent rival my own.

As the night descended, coloring the sky with its dark hues, the moon began its ascent.

Tonight, it was a striking red, perhaps exceptional for the impending apocalypse of the bloody bath, walking ahead.

Only time would tell who might be watching the events, maybe with popcorn in hand.

In the valley near the kingdom, a few mysterious figures, new ascenders of fusion realms, appeared from the shadows.

Cloaked in the attire of assassins, they wore fox masks to conceal their real specification.

But if you might notice, some figures had demonic sport horns in the side of the heads of some, Advising us they were not an entirely human group.

Who knows? Among them could be vampires, demons, or even ordinary humans.

"Leader Zeno, what were the master's instructions?" A male figure asked, glaring at the kingdom, lowering his mask, showing his face.

With fiery red hair, crimson eyes, and fangs that peeked out when he spoke, it was clear he was a vampire person.

"Master told me to keep the kingdom's soldiers busy on the streets while preparing for our operation. We must avoid harming innocent individuals, but stay steadfast if they obstruct our path."

Zeno, the second-in-command to Iris in Eclipse Shadow, responded, "Eliminate all the corrupt soldiers, and ready to massacre the kingdom. Our master will handle the rest. Kill everyone if essential."

"Eh?" His reaction was unlike the others. "...What do you mean? Aren't we supposed to follow our master's teachings and protect innocent lives? If we resort to violence like killers, what is the purpose of our organization? Are we aiming for destruction?"

"Hmph, you're a newcomer to the organization and unfamiliar with our leader, Henry." Zeno remarked, placing her hand vehemently on his shoulder.

"If you're displeased, you're free to leave this mission! As for your question, the Master has made it clear that we pursue our objectives despite many obstacles in our oath, showing no leniency towards hindrances."

"Occasionally, sacrifices are unavoidable, but joining our organization is always voluntary with everyone's wishes…. Do you understand why I selected you for this mission?"

—Crack!

As she exerted just a fraction of her strength, Henry felt his shoulder crack, yet he didn't fliched, as if accustomed to such pain. "B-because I'm talented?"

Zeno's eyes dangerously half closed as she sniggers. "...Pfffh, how shameless of you. I'm well-clued-up of your talent. Nonetheless, my premium reason was because, isn't it this kingdom that abandoned you when you contracted MIS?"

—Bruxism!

He gritted his teeth as Zeno persisted, "Henry, the honorable knight, suffered the indignity of betrayal from his own kin upon tracking down his MIS illness. Oh, he was on the brink of becoming a mere lab rat in the experiments of DeadNova's organization."

"Yet, our innocent mistress showed him sympathy, choosing to heal him and offer him a place under her tutelage. Even with her generosity, she still presented the offer for him to decide, and willingly, he accepted in order to repay her kindness."

Zoe refrained from exacerbating the situation, not adding fuel in wounds, as she gazed up at the sky.

"You're free to leave the organization as we follow the path our master lays out for us. Even with our seniority, she still is a motherly figure to us. Any objections to the mission, if you choose to participate?"

"..." Henry was speechless, his anger arose as he surveyed the kingdom.

After a moment of silence, he muttered something to himself after disappearing, "Tsk, these bitches are dead!"

—Booom!
