Zenith's Point Of View
"Why did your Grandpa say that place was cursed? He was the only one who was able to return, right?" I was stunned there, I first finished my last nail and then put away the sharpener.
I turned to him then shrugged. "I don't know. Only Grandpa knows that but I plan to find out …"
"It's only an hour. What can happen when we go over there more than hour? Aren't you curious?" he said meaningfully, I just didn't answer.
"We still have eighteen hours before we get to Italy so maybe you should get some rest," he said then folded the book he was holding and set it aside.
"You go ahead. I'm not sleepy yet."
After 18 hours. They all woke up to feel the plane landing. They even looked at the window to see the landing at exactly the same time. Finally, all of them have arrived safely in the land of Romance. And this is also where their mission will begin.
"Okay, gather and stand up everyone. We can go down," Vior led. He seem to be fine now.
He applauded, the others took the belongings they were carrying and put them in the luggage so that they wouldn't get lost and then went down one after another from there to the place at the end.
Oh right. It’s not like any other mission book I read. There will be no hotel for us to stay in for overnight, that was Vior said when we were in the air.
And since I only had a small bag, I intend to bring it with me. He didn't bother, especially since it was in the back.
"Hey! We're here!" Jewel's happy language and briskly descended.
Venom and Widow immediately followed him. "We're not here for a vacation, Jewel. We have a different purpose."
"Hmp! I know so don't you try ruin it and kill the joy. I'm just happy," he said calmly then looked at the two friends badly.
I was in the back but I could clearly see what they were doing. Tremendous, Sage, and Reme also went down while Manuever and Kindred followed. Eventually it was Vior and me left and he was in front of me.
After we disembarked, Manuever talked to the pilot for a while and then approached us.
"Okay, now that we are here. We should avoid speaking Tagalog but we could use English or Italian so that the people here will not be surprised," he said.
He looked at me. "Ahm, just use English if you don't know Italian. They can understand it and Kindred will just accompany you for a translation—"
"Non è necessario, come ti dicevo che potrei stare da solo e non solo l'italiano." I cut to what he was saying.
In English it means;
"No need, as I told you I could do it on my own. I can speak Italian fluently."
They were all silent at what I said. Unexpectedly I was knowledgeable. For your information, I can speak 20 languages.
"Wow. I didn't know you were smart and fluent. How?"
"Parte della mia formazione da assassino," I replied to Manuever.
In English it means, part of my training as an assassin. After I became a Supreme, it was my duty to study twenty world languages, including Italian.
"Yeah, I almost forgot."
"Enough talking, Manuever. Since, you made the plan … you will lead us. What to do first?" si Vior.
Manuever smiled at us. "What else? To the Royale Palace. We have a king who needs to be taught a lesson."
We just walked to the very town of Italy, Rome. There are so many beautiful buildings and restaurants around, the place looks quiet and peaceful but I still can't get out of my mind what their king is doing.
How does he manage to rob his own country? There is no difference between the Philippines and other countries in the world.
I don’t include all of them but there are actually many leaders who just stand up to steal and use honor for their own benefit. And that's sick.
In the end, we all agreed to just rent a car for us all for 100 dollars. They even said that they would just contribute so as not to lose money but they didn't complain when I paid it myself. I
just looked at them.
"What?" I will ask.
They didn't answer but Manuever and Vior just shook their heads. What is their problem? Tsk! I paid for it so that there would be no more trouble.
We quickly reached the outside of the huge palace wall. I immediately got off from behind, they followed.
"What's next?" Vior asked.
They were in front of the big door while I was just next to the car and watching them. "Sage, do you think you can?"
I just ignored them and thought we could give our car to a resident in the vicinity. We don't need it anymore later after I kill the King cause I have everything.
Who should be the one? I want to give it to a deserving person. I first looked nearby and saw someone selling fruit.
I approached it and greeted, "Buona giornata."
(Good day)
Your saleswoman stopped and then turned to me.
"Di cosa ha bisogno?" she asked.
(What do they need?)
"Vuoi una macchina?" she was shocked by my question.
(Do you want a car?)
She answered honestly, "Beh, certo, ma non ho abbastanza soldi per comprarlo." (Well, of course but we don't have enough money to buy one.)
Ideal. I smiled at her then pointed to the vehicle we were using.
"Non preoccuparti, vedi quella macchina?"
(Don't worry, can you see that car?)
She just nodded. "Sta a te, certo che non ci serve molto. Questi sono i soldi, li facciamo pagare noi, quindi paghi tutto quello che è stato pagato alla Roma". And gave her the money that they need.
(It's up to you. We don't need that anymore. This is the money, we just rented it so you just pay in full for the rent in Rome.)
She was surprised and looked at me then at the money, it was unbelievable but in the end she was happy to accept you.
"Davvero, sorella? Ahime, grazie mille!"
(Really, sister? Oh, thank you so much!)
I left them talking happily there and went back to Vior and others. Their all pity mouth are looking at me? What's up?
