CHAPTER 13

We used the elevator at the parking lot.

Kadey entered a pin for a scanner to came out, when the scanner showed he scanned our invitation ticket.

When the scanner verified that the tickets are legitimate the elevator started moving downwards.

The elevator doors opened the whole long hallway is all white when I look up there I saw large silver and white painted pipes.

We walked to the  big tinted glass door.

The hallway inside that door is so dark

I could only see a small dim light

As we walk closer to that light the light becomes bigger but still it is dim.

The only source of light are the spot lights at the top and corners of the ring.

There is a special seats for the Talons and under that is the seat for us the contestants.

We sat on our designated seats.

"Remember guys we all had an ear piece so we could hear each other  anytime anywhere"

Few moments from now the fight will begin.

I roam my eyes around but Masked Man isn't here yet.

Zymophore Kriegspiel holding a mic went inside, at the Middle of the ring.

"Hello everyone, are you ready for this year's bloody festival?"

ZK's deep and cold manly voice is heard through the whole stadium.

Everyone yells.Some because they are excited ,and some just because Zymophore Kriegspiel looks handsome on his attire.

The first fight is between two boys that are both familiar to me.

The one who will win the fight will be Lame Fist's opponent.

The fight started but I am not watching it I am still roaming my eyes to see if masked man finally arrived.

"My fight will start any moment"

I heard Van Ashtron's voice on my earpiece.

"Good luck, By the way Rogue Argonne have you seen masked man?"

"I still don't have sightings of Masked Man Kayisha Denise"

We were communicating through our earpieces we could hear everyone.

The first fight ended.

"Good luck Van Ashtron"

"Thanks Rogue Argonne"

At first Van Ashtron is not able to equal the strength of his opponent because he is still studying it's movements.

When he is done, He fight how he really use to fight  his opponent is extremely beaten, blood is oozing out from his wounds.

While they were fighting one of the spotlights that is assigned to capture the audiences reactions  suddenly struck on someone with a white hair and a mask.

"Masked man?"

"Rogue Argonne? What you saw masked man?"

"Yes Flare Onyx I saw him"

"Where are you planning to go?"

"I will follow him "

I stand from where I am sitting

I went on his direction.

But his gone the chair is already vacant.

I try to go out, Hoping to that I could see him.

I saw him outside the stadium walking through the hallway.

But I am not able to follow him he easily get lost in the crowd.

"Shit!"

"Why Rogue Argonne?"

"Because of those late comers I am not able to follow Masked man"

"Where are you now?"

"I am going back there"

I miss the action the fight is over when I finally got in.

Now the Talons will decide if they want to challenge  Van Ashtron or not.

"We had decided to challenge Lame fist"

Thunder Kade stand up and went down to the ring.

"Kadey?"

"Rogue relax I wont hurt Van Ashtron"

Talking through our earpieces made our communication easier.

The fight stared they seems that it is really a fight but for me they are just doing their daily training routines.

As expected Kade won that fight.

Three more fights are held.

We left that stadium together but I don't went home with them.

I received a message from tanda.

"Rogue Argonne, I will be giving you a property as a gift to your successful missions."

"Okay I'll be going"

I went on the resto that Tanda said.

I sat in front of him.

"Rogue Argonne you are really great, you had done

so much. You deserve this prize"

"Tanda tell me honestly is this really from you or it is from  Calvin Callix"

"Well it is really from Calvin Callix, he bought an island at Palawan for you"

I do not reply I just keep silent and ate my carbonara  and mushrooms soup.

"Rogue Argonne, a chopper is at the rooftop and it is waiting for you"

"I'll just finish my meal"

After finishing my meal I left tanda there and went to the rooftop to ride on the chopper .

Honestly I am excited to see that Island and how does my mansion look like.

I wear my headphones on and watch by the window

At first I could see the lights of the tall buildings

The multi-colored lights blend well on the darkness of the night.

It is really pleasant to look at

When there are no longer buildings I could only see trees with their leaves swaying on with the winds.

The sea water seems to be sparkling as the moonlight strike through the crystal water

The chopper landed on an island, a big island

I went out, the pilot gave me  a folder and a black box with a black ribbon

On the black ribbon a small black card is attached. There is a hand written message, the ball pen's ink is white.

The cursive hand writing is beautiful,and it is very familiar to me

It's Calvin Callix's hand writing.

'Hi my fiancé this box contains the keys of the house,If you want to go back anytime at Cavite or Manila you can use the chopper at the underground parkinglot  of the house

I don't open the folder yet

When you were at the shore you won't ever think that a big house is in the middle of that island.

I just continue walking unil I reached the house or should I say mansion,a modern style mansion.

The floor is made up wood, and it is shiny

Most of the walls are made of glass.The concrete walls are white with some accents of black and gold.

The couches or should I say the thrones are black and with gold details.

I first roam around the mansion and sat by the pool side.

I open my phone… The Wifi signal in this house is good.

Flare Onyx is online,I contacted her (a video call)

"Hello Rogue Argonne"

"Hi Flare Onyx"

"Where are you?"

"Flare,I am here at an Island"

"Huh? Did somebody kidnapped you?"

"No Flare I own this island"

"Woah,Tanda gave that to you?"

"No, Calvin Callix gave this to me"

"Are you going to go home? Are you going to attend classes tommorow?"

"I think, I will just attend the afternoon classes"

"okay, By the way what will be our alibi when nanay Meldy asked us about you?"

"Just tell her that I need to go out to see my parents"

"Okay"

"Bye Flare Onyx, Goodnight"

"Goodnight,bye"

That video call ended

After that I went inside the mansion and read what is inside the folder that the pilot had given me.

The folder contains the title and other important papers of the island

'Fondeado Island'  is the name of this Island  and Calvin had bought this island from someone who had Lee as her last name.

I continue reading… Whatt?!!! this island causes billions of dollars.

When I saw the price of the island my jaw literally drop.

I set aside the papers and went upstairs to find my room.

The stairs really look elegant.

Up stairs there are 6 rooms and each room are big.

One door, a gold door with my name beautifully engraved on it.

I entered my room, it really looks like my room in our HQ

I miss HQ.

Seems like I just want to rest,I still din't want to have some academic stress.

Okay I  have made up my mind I will no longer attend class tommorow but I will  go to the  strength festival.

I am hoping that I can now remove Masked Man's mask and know his real identity and after I have done that mission accomplished.

Hayst I wish I can also talk to Annica Beatrice Castro or should I say Reigue Xenonne.

SOMEONE'S POV

It is close,that Rogue Argonne Gomez she was trying to follow me.

My phone rung, It is Axzurite that is calling me.

I answer it,I connected my phone to my Bluetooth earpiece.

"Hello sir I had a good news for you"

"Good,wait for me I am near the lake now"

"Okay sir Ryous"

I drove straight to my  destination, my castle.

Now I am here at the lake.

I stop at the shore and changed my car into a submarine and continue in to the lake.

The lake is so deep that I am able to create my castle down there.

I finally reached the chamber that controls the  water for it not to pass inside my castle.

I walked out that chamber and went straight to my office.

Axzurite is already there

"Sir" he said as he bow as a sign of respect to me.

I sat on my swivel chair and removed my mask.

"What is that news that you wanted to tell me?"

"Well, Rogue Argonne Gomez is searching for a private investigator for her maid Meldy"

"Then what is good about that news?"

"I have found out that Rogue Argonne had love her maid as her mother, and that maid's lost daughter is…"

Axzurite wispered me that revelation.

That revelation would be a great plot twist

"Axzurite,I am allowing you to act as a private investigator"

"Thanks sir Ryous"
