Master Killian

GardenIT suffered many losses that month. The break on the security system made many of the investors leave without turning back, withdrawing the capital, not minding that he was Ethan Davis. However, the public opinion on their launch was even crueler. Well, that was an achievement of my beautiful team that took pleasure in trolling the company in every forum of the world. Martin and Jano were so wonderfully enjoying the battle, even the cold stoned face of Martin gave out a little smirk. Even I contributed with my mighty skills and the help of my powerful hackers led by Vin.

I was laughing in my office seeing the news on the disaster we created, but more than that, I was so looking forward to the results of the questioning. The woman we captured was a high-ranking executive of his company and was known as a talented hacker with the code name ThisAster4U.

"…" Well, never mind.

When I saw her records and her background, I was impressed. Even to me, she was someone with considerable strength and a great deal of creativity in the digital world. However, she was more interested in methods extremely cruel to achieve her purposes. I couldn't stand her extreme measures, they were sadistic. Not my cup of tea.

WhiteBear: Leader, we are in trouble.

SilverLight: What happened?

WhiteBear: They tracked us…

SilverLight: What? Are you ok? Where are you?

WhiteBear: We are fine… alive, but three members have injuries. Leader, we were ambushed. The woman had a tracker implanted on her body and a team followed her. We got out safely but…

SilverLight: What happened?

WhiteBear: She sent a message to you. She said that everything had to go back to the right track, that we can't change what is written. Your destiny is to suffer. I didn't understand. Is she crazy?

SilverLight: ….

WhiteBear: Leader?

I won't lie. My heart always shakes in fear when the plot is mentioned. Who the hell is she? How did she know about the plot? She must be someone from my world, but who was she?

SilverLight: Did she escape?

WhiteBear: Yes.

Goodness! She trapped us. Who the hell is he?

SilverLight: Do you have the recording?

WhiteBear:… I don't know, they planted a bomb inside and the whole place is in flames now. We couldn't save anything but our lives. The police are surrounding the whole place.

SilverLight: It's okay, get yourselves to safety first. Leave the rest to me. Go to the Green Mansion with Hannah.

WhiteBear: Alright, Miss.

I stayed inside my office for the whole day, that damn woman was making things difficult. However, I won't let her stay hidden for that long. She may be a sneaky woman and I can swear that she is from my world, but she will not harm me, nor my family. Did she dare to threaten me? Heh…

****

"Baby, are you still inside the office?"

"Yes."

"When are you coming back, Eve?"

"A bit later, sorry darling, I have something important."

"Alright… I…"

I know he wanted to help me, but this…. Sighs….

"Liam… I… I will go back in two hours, okay?"

"Okay, I will wait for you."

I wanted so much to go there and confess everything, but will he think I am crazy? This is such an incredible thing. Even I would have a hard time believing it.

"You should tell him, it will be easier."

Martin had arrived at my office a few hours ago, he knew about the woman, but he didn't recognize her. Who could she be?

"I know but… "

"No pressure, Eve, but that woman would come again and together with her, Ethan. You know what he is capable of."

That week, when I went missing, Martin showed me something. I couldn't believe it at first, but I have no choice when I saw it with my own eyes.

In my world, we were a great team, goodness, we were amazing. However, we didn't meet like in this world, we didn't get together willingly, but…. Sighs, I can only say we weren't recruited but raised.

Our master was the chairman of the orphanage. We stayed there for many years, and we became friends, brothers, sisters, we became family. All sharing terrible pasts, complicated backgrounds difficult to understand for little kids like us.

The first time I met Master Killian, I thought he was an incredible man, with a great voice and strong character forged in the military. I won't lie, I hated him at first, the excessive training he made us go through was enough for any kid to grow an intense hatred towards him. He pushed us to the extreme every day for many years, the physical and mental extenuation was just too much, but we didn't have a choice, we were orphans. No one of us harbored any thoughts of being adopted when living in the orphanage, and only a few new kids came every year to be trained. I couldn't understand the reason as the Mansion was gigantic with so many available beds. Later, after many years, I understood why?

We were selected, carefully chosen by him as livestock. He saw something special in us, talents, special abilities, something different from the ordinary kids. But more than that, a painful background he could exploit. All those feelings and emotions hidden inside us were detonators of desires of justice, of revenge, of change.

He knew how to use us, and we hated him for that.

However, many years passed, and the team grew up to something amazing, something that was changing the world from its very origins. We were wanted criminals by most of the countries, but the world was filled with them, however, they hid behind pretty legal terms. At least, we were trying to do some good.
