NAENAH AKAIBARA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Naenah, I already fixed the mess about Ceazar Felipe's case," Yvanna said, "I cleaned all the possible evidences against you on his death. Someone might use it against us, it's better if we take extra precautions."

"Thanks," I smiled a bit.

I don't know if I should be happy or guilty. This is not the first time that I killed someone, but why do I feel that something isn't right?

"We have another mission today," Liana said, "If you're not feeling well, Naenah, then you can just stay in Yvanna's place."

"No, I'm fine."

"Then you'll join in our mission today?"

I nodded.

We're here in the Underworld Black Market again. We're gonna deal with some stuffs again in the auction hall.

"So what's the task this time?"

"Do you see that gemstone?" Tia pointed a black gemstone with a combination of different colors, "We need to get that. We need to get the deal."

"Just that?"

"It's not easy, Naenah. They are willing to die to get that gemstone," Yvanna, "They could kill if they need to."

"It's just a gemstone."

"It's not just a gemstone, Naenah. It's black opal. It's one of the rarest gemstones of the world. It costs seven hundred sixty-three thousand U. S dollars," Liana informed.

So am I the only who didn't do a research about that gemstone?

"For me, it just look like a simple black marble with a combination of different colors," I said, "And I wouldn't want to waste a single peso on it."

"It's just a simple gemstone, Naenah," Yvanna whispered, "There is something inside it."

"What something?"

"The secret of Lexus," Tia answered, "His identity was engraved inside that gemstone. Everyone is dying to know who Lexus is. Lexus is the prince of Mafia world."

"Who is the king?"

"Deathrode Erebus Wu. They are both unknown in the mafia world, but they successfully slayed the underworld without showing their faces. Deathrode beat Lexus when he started having his own businesses and become a serious mafia lord," Liana said.

"Isn't Geom's cousin?" Yvanna suddenly choked, "You're still choking even if you're not doing anything?"

"Yeah, he is," Tia answered.

"Then why Geom serves Lexus? Why don't he serve his own cousin?"

"Deathrode's family and Geom's family are not really on good terms. Deathrode and Geom are civil, but their family is on war," Yvanna said, "Chinese families are business-minded. Wu and Chang are rivals in the business industry, but Deathrode and Geom doesn't treat each other as enemies."

"That's good."

"Atleast you've shared something about Geom," Liana smirked and Yvanna hit her.

The auction for the Black Opal began. We have a lot of rivals, but there is persistent one. A girl in a darker shade of blue.

"One million U. S dollars," Tia bid.

"One billion U. S dollars," the girl said.

"Is there a higher bid than one billion U. S dollars?" The emcee asked, "None?"

"Can we still afford it?"

"It's beyond our budget!" Liana said.

"I wouldn't dare to use my own money on that gemstone," Yvanna added.

"Closed deal! The deal goes to the girl in blue dress," the emcee announced.

"What are we going to do now?" Tia asked.

"Follow her get that fucking gemstone!"

We followed her until she went to the rooftop. She's wearing a mask to hide the identity. It's allowed in the black market to protect their customers' identity. We're shocked when a dagger stabbed in Yvanna's abdomen at the rooftop.

"Is it fun to be stabbed by your own weapon?" The woman said, "You think I wouldn't know that you're following me, Blomst Blades?"

"Remove your mask!"

"You want to know me, Naenah?" She chuckled, "We are each other's nightmare. You might doubt your own self if you discover who am I."

"Why do you know her real name?!" Tia shouted.

We're wearing our killer outfit with our masks so it shocked us if how did she discovered our real identity.

"Do you think I'm that stupid to not do a background check with the people I'll be meeting today? I know that you want this piece of shit, right?!" She pointed the Black Opal.

"Who really are you?!" Liana shouted.

The woman throwed a dagger to Liana, but Liana avoided it.

"Didn't I say that we're each other's nightmare. I am Yvanna's biggest competitor. I can do what Yvanna can do," The woman said.

"Copycat hoe!" Liana shouted.

"Well I don't really care about your comments about me. I just came here for this shit," she pointed the Black Opal again.

Yvanna is bleeding.

"We need to get Yvanna out of here!"

"But we need to get the Black Opal!" Liana said.

"You want this?" The woman said and throwed the gemstone on the floor and stomped on it, "Now it's gone."

"You're really a bitch!" Tia shouted.

"I am," the woman chuckled.

I was about to attack with my double bladed knife when a helicopter came and caught my attention. The woman removed her mask and smirked at me.

"You're a fool, Naenah Akaibara," she said.

"Manager P?!" All of us gasped in shock.

I blinked for several times to recheck if it's really Pen Montercarlos.

"I am Shine Blue. I'm part of the Dark Blue organization," she said, "It was really nice playing with you. Making you fool and stupid. I thought that Red Striped Rose is really good, but you bored me."

I throwed a dagger in her direction, but she already held on the ladder of the helicopter.

"Be ready, Blomst Blades!" She shouted while holding onto the helicopter, "Be ready for Dark Light's vengeance. This is not the real battle. Just the start, stupids!"

Tia and Liana cursed at her. I check Yvanna's condtion.

"I thought that Manager P is really nice, but she's just a traitor b!+€# just like others!" Liana said.

"Andres needs to know that Manager P is not you think who she is, Naenah," Tia said.

"If I need to reveal Manager P's identity then I need to reveal mine too? He will probably suspect about us," I said, "Let's care for Yvanna first."
