Chapter 4

3 months had passed and first day of school has begun. While carrying two large suitcases, a man met her who was no longer just a stranger to her but now her father.

All the process to become officially Kianna Samonte has done. She was trained to become her and not even a single evidence of being Astle could be recognized. Kianna was modest and naughty and Astle was annoyed to act like one, her personality is far from it, aloof and will only speak on important matters. But she has no choice, she has to pretend for her mission to be successful.

She annoyedly reached out and released the suitcases she was carrying, it fell and hit Hid’s foot.

“Ouch!” he complained but Astle only smirked at him in response.

Hid stared at her.

“What? I’m Kianna DAD, Am I not supposed to do that? ” she said sarcastically with an emphasis of the word dad.

"It's too early young lady for you to start a mischief" its cranky reply to her.

Within a few months of being together she had come to terms with him. Even though sometimes he’s making her do things against her will but she couldn’t help it but like him because of the concern and care he showed her.

They got in the car and left the Mansion.

Immensus Academy is a dorm school, it is included in the scholarship she applied for as Kianna Samonte. That’s why she brought all her stuff because she will be staying there for a whole year. This is a good chance for her because it will make her mission easier, it will be easy to gather information if she’s there.

“I will not send you to IA to die Ast, better get some useful information that we can use to detriment the Black Organization” she just nodded while looking outside the car window.

Astle inevitably smiled at what she saw, this is not new to her because in the few months as Kianna Samonte, her father taught her and showed her many things, enough for her to understand the life outside.

"And most of all, you must survive Ast" hearing this she turned her attention to her father.

Surprised, but she didn’t showed it. She smiled sparingly and looked out the window again.

The drive took two hours before they reached the massive border of the City of Ruina. There are people wearing black tuxedo like statues standing here. They stop. Three men in black tuxedos walked up to them. Hid lowered the car windshield.

"Good morning sir, may I see your card?" said one wearing shades.

Her father took something from the compartment and handed it to the man. It peeked inside and when it saw Astle, it smiled broadly.

“Is she a new student of Immensus Academy?”

"Yes," Hid replied sparingly.

“I see,” the man smiled meaningfully then let them enter the City.

The City has a weird structures, the buildings here are large and the Immensus Academy is in the heart of the City, surrounded by tall buildings that she has no idea what they are.

“What’s with this place? It looks so creepy dad. ”

"It’s hard to explain Kia, All I know is that this structures is intended to protect the core of the City."

"And that is the Academy?"

Her father nodded.

Something’s wrong with this place, if every building was meant to be like this to protect the Academy, it simply means that the entire City of Ruina is a territory of the Black Organization. There is something important they wanted to protect that’s why it was guarded as like this but what is it? Is it the laboratory? The secret about the human tester or there’s something big and dangerous?

“I know what you are thinking Kia but don’t get overboard. White Clan only wanted the information, little or big might do, just don’t involve yourself to the bigger picture.”

“I’m just curious dad and since I am entering those devils nest why don’t you let me enjoy?”

Hid glared to her. “Don’t try any reckless move without my signal Kia,” he warned her.

“Alright Alright. I’m just joking.”

"So I was saying City of Ruina is a territory of Black Organization, no government has the authority to middle with their business, that's why there's a huge border earlier when we enter."

“But why does the government allow such illegal activities? They are still in the Philippines and there must be only one president, and law they must follow. ”

“Do you think that the organization will still exist if only the government has the ability to stop them? That’s why White Clan exist, to end their hierarchy my daughter. ”

To this day she is still not as familiar with the White Clan as she often hears from her father, the information she obtains about it is also limited because Hid doesn't tell much about it.

She just shrugged her shoulders and looked out the window again.

"Kia make sure not to trust anyone in there, okay?"

"Okay," she replied.

“Don't let anything they say affect you. Take care of yourself."

Hid reminds her. She didn't bother to answer anymore.

They stopped in front of the White Gate. They were greeted by a woman in her mid-30’s and a man who looked to be in his 20’s.

“Good Morning Mr. Samonte, is this Kianna?”

The lady happily approached her and touched her face. Not knowing what to do, she was disgusted at the kind of touch the lady did on her. She’s not used to it but she needs to endure it, so she just smiles back.

“It’s been a year my dear, we thought something might have happen to you and we will never see you again, I’m glad you’re okay. How are you child? ”

She looked at her father in surprise but it only looked at her seriously.

"I-it's okay," she replied to the Lady.

What is going on? She thought Kianna was dead? Why does no one seem to know?

"Dad?"

Her father just ignored her and walked closer to the man with the lady earlier.

“It’s been a year Kiss, how have you been?”

The guy named Kiss just smiled and reached out his hand to him.

"Handsome as always Hid."

"Still full of yourself Kiss" the man laughed at Hid's response.

Kianna looked back and forth between the two. She was even more confused by what was happening.

“Hid told you about the White Clan, didn’t he?” She nodded to the lady.

"We're part of it so don't worry, you have us inside of this hell, Astle."

She just laughed at the back of her head when her question was finally answered. She thought they don’t know her yet, it looks like her father pull some prank at her again.

“So how’s the welcoming entrance young lady?”

She stared at him so badly.

"Fuck you as always old man."
