Dolus and Dark

"Where the hell is she?!" Leng Shaoming asked the moment he step inside the house.

"We don't know." Mother Leng admitted without batting an eye to her son. She cares more about the little girl who's been missing than her son, who came back after hearing that his friend is missing.

"Damn it!"

"Watch your mouth young man!" Father Cai warned his son.

Cai Zhenghao usually doesn't curse but now, out of frustration he unintentionally cursed.

Leng Shaoming and Cai Zhenghao glanced at each other, overwhelming with guilt before they lowered their heads, thinking of a way.

Mother Cai looked at the two boys, who are feeling guilty about this incident. She couldn't help but to sighed as she watched her godson grab his hair tightly and her son covering his face with his palm due to guilt and frustration.

It's already 9 pm and she is a few hours late to her appointed curfew. She was supposed to come back before 7 pm.

At first, they thought that maybe there was a traffic so she was late but when the clock hits 7:30 pm they started to feel anxious. Thus, they contacted the people that were tasked to follow her and they found out that those people lost track of her.

They tried to be optimistic and kept in their mind that she is smart so she will not be in danger, evenif she is then she will find a way to contact them.

Afterall, she's Qiao Ning Xi.

"It's all my fault! If only I didn't let her go by herself. I knew that the city is dangerous and full of dangerous people but I still let her. What if those people are targeting us and we implicate her?!" Mother Cai finally broke down after seeing her son and godson blaming their selves and remembering the news that their men brought them.

They lost sight of her not due to them being completely incompetent but because they witnessed what they shouldn't have witness just like Qiao Ning Xi.

Compared to her, those men witnessed exactly happened on the bridge and saw those people.

They didn't see any of their faces because they were wearing a mask but they knew that they are really dangerous and they were right.

All of the men who were tasked to follow Qiao Ning Xi died once the masked men noticed them. Fortunately, one survived and he is the vice captain of the team.

I don't know whether he was lucky or not because he was assigned 1 kilometer away from the target, Qiao Ning Xi, so the masked men didn't notice him but in the end, everyone in his team died except for him.

Then he ran and hid for his life, forgetting about his task, leaving the little girl alone and only remembered it when the Cai Family called him.

Without any hesitation he informed the Cai Family what happened a few hours ago and blamed himself for not accomplishing their task.

"It's not your fault, alright? If you keep thinking that it is your fault then it's my fault for not protecting her as currently the only man of the house." Father Cai tried to convince his wife before bowing his head while covering his face with his palm just like his son.

Then he started to blame himself, "I guess it's really my fault, isn't it? Why am I so useless?!"

"No, No, It's not your fault! There's still no news about her. There's still a chance that she is safe and hiding waiting for us to save her so don't blame yourself because she needs you, we need your help to find her." Mother Cai immediately coaxed her husband.

"You're right, she is still alive so let's not waste time in blaming ourselves and farther our search."

Mother Cai nodded, showing agreement with her husband.

Mother Leng looked at the married couple and shook her head as she watched her best friend being played at by her own husband.

Father Cai kept his word and even used his close friends connection to find Qiao Ning Xi.

Meanwhile, Mother Leng also used her connection and some of the connection of the artists' in her company.

Mother Leng is the president and founder of LS entertainment, a company she build for her son. Even though, it looks like she's a full time housewife and have a plenty of free time, she is usually busy with the company's affair.

After her son decided to study in City H, she also decided to leave with her son and leave the company to her trusted men, her secretary and the vice-president of the company but for major decisions, they must ask for her opinion or decision.

Mother Leng doesn't only manage the LS entertainment but also the Leng Corporation, a corporation build by the Leng's ancestor for the whole Leng Family but sadly, there are only few Leng descendants.

"I told you to kill him fast and certainly, Dolus."

"It's not my fucking fault! Who would have thought that some bugs would suddenly appear?!" A man wearing a black mask with red lining said.

"Hah. And here I was thinking that you were amazing for gaining his trust but because of your carelessness, either we will die or we will kill him first." The man wearing a black mask with grey lining said.

"If you are so amazing then tell your fucking men to kill him without my help. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have the chance to go near him! Remember, without me, your mission is nothing but a mission impossible so stop getting in my fucking way, Dark."

Dolus glared at Dark while saying those words.

"It's our mission, not just my mission, have you forgotten? Of course, if you want then I'm willing to tell the King that you're not satisfied with his order." Dark said as he smiled at him, gloating but his eyes stared at him like a sharp knife pointed in his neck.

Dolus was unable to get a word out of his mouth and glared at the man in front of him.

He is not afraid of Dark but he is afraid at his King.

If anybody ask, who is the most fearsome and dangerous person in the world, his answer would be his King and the second is the guy they were tasked to kill but unfortunately, he fell off the bridge before they confirmed that he is dead.

Actually, the reason why he played with that guy first before killing him, which resulted to him giving the guy a chance to live by taking a risk, was because he is afraid of him.

Habitually, when you see the guy that you're afraid of, you either hide or run. Thus, when he saw the guy he feared in such a hopeless and miserable situation, he couldn't help but to crush him more.

He wanted to trample him slowly and watch his expression to him change from indifference to fear.

However, that guy didn't show him any fear but instead looked at him like he was an idiot, which pissed him off.

Remembering that guy's face only made him furious, especially that one scene when that guy laughed at him even when he pointed his gun to him.

"What the hell is fucking wrong with you?!"

Dolus grabbed Dark's collar as he asked for an explanation after being punched in the face.

"Finally! You're back! You were lost in your own thought that you even lowered down your guard. Now, how are you going to clean up your mess?" Dark provoked him by raising his left eyebrow and by letting out a chuckle.

"You motherfucker, what the hell is wrong with you? You fucking punched me just for that?" Dolus didn't let go of his collar, instead he pulled it harder.

"Yes so what? By the way, did anybody ever told you that you have such a foul mouth?"

Dolus clenched his teeth before trying to get back to him but this time verbally. "Don't worry I know about that but did anybody ever told you that you are such a bastard?" He strongly let go of Dark's collar which resulted to Dark being pushed and falling to the ground with his bottom.

Dark isn't weak and he never let anyone win him easily especially verbally fights so he gave him the final blow.

"I never care about what others thought about me but you, you are such a pain in the ass, you know that? Many people think that you don't deserve the code name 'Dolus' including me and you know it is true, right?"

"I received a signal from Master's mask!" A man in his early 20s exclaimed after receiving a sudden notification in his computer.

The four of them have been waiting for any report or information about their missing master but few hours already past but they received nothing.

They already widened their connection but still nothing. They already found the location of the people who tried to harm their master but their master's news is still missing.

They don't know whether he is alive or dead.

The man in a suit stood up and immediately asked, "Did Master send his location?"

The guy earlier shook his head and replied, "No. I received a notice from the system about Master's mask. It scanned an unidentified fingerprints and someone tried to forcefully take Master's mask off. I also received a photo taken when the system rejected the fingerprints."

The guy showed the picture to the guy in a suit. The guy frowned recognizing the little girl in the photo.

"It's her." He uttered which piqued the third man's interest, who is sitting near him.

The third man went beside him and looked at the photo. He stared at photo for almost a minute not because he didn't recognize the person but because he recognize it.

Even with only a glance he could recognize her.

Of course, if she was here then he could also recognize the men inside the room.

"Qiao Ning Xi."
