That day, we celebrate with a big banquet. The hall was filled with cheerful laughs and smiles, everyone was happy. When Vanessa and the others heard about me being adopted and taking their name, they were shocked to the point they freeze up for a couple of seconds but looking at them now, they are laughing and smiling, making jokes, and telling stories with Hisao's men. Even with the existence of a language barrier but they are able to convert their feelings very well. I never thought that things could turn out this way since I expect a serious talk with the risk of rejection and conflict. But with me being their daughter, they will support me unconditionally especially when they are the ones who ask me about it.
The way these Iwamoto couples carry themself is nobler than every relationship that I have seen in my life. Growing up losing my home and my family, my knowledge of love is a little bit twisted even though I received a good life when my mom adopted me and I t
I am now a person with two identities, well, supposedly three jests I didn't discard the Terrance family. I'm highly grateful for my mother's help this whole time, I mean she practically raised me but now that I live in a dangerous community where I could die at any moment, she could be a weakness against me and I also didn't want to risk her normal life. She is a pretty narcissistic person, but she is not all bad which is why I am able to be close to her.I wouldn't say she is a complete angel but she is better than the street so I put up with her demands until I can live independently. The Iwamoto couple shows me what a real, loving, and sincere family feels like in a short amount of time. That's probably because they understand the feeling of losing someone precious, or maybe that's just how their personality is. It's really either that or the people I've met so far are just too shitty.Along the ride on the plane, I couldn't fall asleep since my mind is fille
I look at my side to see Dexter holding my hand as he took my knife and put it back to its place, my pockets. "What?! You're siding with them? The Hell?!" I shouted as I harshly pull back my arm from his grip. "What's wrong with you? You should be helping me finish him off right now rather than stopping me so that we could finish the problem or maybe a possible future threat for us. Are you out of your mind right now?!" "Calm down Lily, I know you're filled with rage right now but if you kill him now, our plan will be wrecked up and Mikael's gonna kill you for ruining his plan. You know him, best for last." Dexter said as he put both of his hands up and slowly moved their way to both of my shoulders. Jacob and the rest were just silent there listening to our conversation. I grunt as I back off and say, "Fine, I get it. But Jacob, this is not over, I will be the one taking your neck." With that, I turn my back and go back along with my team and Dexter. We return to the base a
I was chilling with Yuki and Luna, listening to music while scrolling through my social media. Then I started thinking about yesterday, it was a mess now that I rationally view it. It's going to be up on the news and Mikael's definitely not happy hearing that. I was called by Mikael yesterday and he roasts the shit out of me. He was pissed but somehow not as pissed as I thought he would, maybe cuz it also affects Grey Wolf. But what shocked me is the punishments he gave out. Usually, there are no such things as a second chance when we violated the rules unless you're part of CARDS. Since if you're part of it, you played big roles inside the organization, and thus second chance or divine grace is given. It's usually either losing body parts like fingers or toes maybe even an eye or you get beaten up half dead. But this guy, Mikael, the boss, give me a punishment like he is my dad. He put me on a week probation. I mean, what the heck? He literally ground me for a week. If I should res
Jeniffer and Vanessa are now in my office along with the 8 men that's covered in cold sweats. Vanessa goes to my side as Jeniffer stood in front of my desk. I stayed silent as I put my hand together in front of my face. The room was silent for a while but no one is making any noise or asking any questions. The 8 men standing behind Jeniffer are just staring at each other while Jeniffer and Vanessa are just standing there like they're used to this situation. I finally broke the silence and said, "I will be making a new division that consists of only men that will deal with the security of our deals on drugs. I'm naming it March Hare and this team will be the sub under you, Mad Hatter. I want you to train them and you will also be responsible for whatever they did, any problem arises you go to Vanessa. She will tell you what to do after consulting with me. Now take those 8 coward men away. They can't even beat up a group of teenagers. You can use any kind of method, if any of
After getting Mikael's approval, the training and recruiting start. It was a mess at the start, some men were stealing and some were taking profit by selling at a higher price behind our back. Well, I hate each and every one of them shot dead. I don't need rats on my team. This kind of treatment installs fear in the new crew's heart. Now, after 5 months, things are going well, Mikael scold me the moment he was back but then hold a meeting to inform the other CARD member about my exclusive team, March Hare. Surprisingly no one actually oppose and things went smoothly, too smooth to be exact. This brings a spark of anxiety to my heart, what is Tim's planning? why is he so laid back? But I brush it off since I'm still busy with the competition of the team's operation system. After everything's done, every other problem that follows just fell into place a long time. But what worries me is that there was a report that Grey Howl's preparation is almost complete or maybe it a
Mikael's Perspective, when he was in China, Shangri-La. Clearing the problem with his partner.Right now, I'm heading to china because my partner called. This guy holds a major supplier in China and he is one of our biggest distributors in China. It's rare for him to call since he usually finds a way to solve it without involving me but since he call right now, it must be something big. Could be the work of those Grey Howl. Jiang Wuying is the name of my partner and if you could describe him, he is a man in his 40s, a person who always wears a suit like a businessman and a person who is meticulous of detail and numbers. He is keen and is a very exact person. Every small inaccuracy is a mistake to be figured out. That's the kind of man he is, which is why he rarely makes mistakes.After about 14 hours of flight, we checked in to our hotel before departing for my house in China. It was late night and I'm exhausted so I ask Damien to check in to any hotel nearby jus
Still in Mikael's perspective,I woke up still feeling tired and groggy, I don't feel like waking up and leaving the room but I have things to sort out first before I can slack off. I grumpily groan as I walk to my bathroom and took a shower as I groan. I was truly not up to doing anything for the day but because I know I won't be getting a real and proper rest unless I finish this problem I try to gather all of the motivation that I have scattered in the ocean. I get out of the room and head down for my breakfast, it was kaya toast and coffee. A nice start, my mood brightens up a little as I head to the office to continue the discussion pertaining to the current problem.But before I could even knock and announce my arrival, my secretary stops me and hand me documents and a phone. "What's all this?" I said as I hold the documents and the phone towards Damien as he calmly replied, " It was the inter you ask for sir, the Rat will be sorted out soon but the name listed o
He was somehow anxious about telling me this that I sigh and told him to just tell me. He then sighs and lowers down his face for a moment before starting talking. "Nightshade is a poison known back in the 18th century. I was said to be the witch's curse. This plant looks like a lovely flower with fruit that looks delicious. But it was beyond deadly that was used even until now in the 20th century. In the past, it was used to kill kings, emperors, and many others, you named it. It causes hallucinations and rashes which is why they say it's a curse from a witch since the first to use and discover it was a herbalist. A woman that was isolated from the others in the village was obsessed with herbs and medicine. She was called a witch in the end since she could cure a lot of diseases that were said to be incurable but then one day, she mistakenly put the nightshade inside a cup. She forgets about it as she brews some tea on that cup and gives it to a knight that was visiting her. That k
