Chapter 34 Gary's blood veins are visible on his temple, indicating how furious he is with Shadow."Give me a reason for this betrayal, Shadow, before you die."Shadow was unfazed and responded calmly, "Just as you have a grudge against Jason, US also have one against you and the Hayes family."Axel takes great pleasure in seeing Gary angered. "Has the idea of someone exacting revenge on you never occurred to you, Gary Hayes?"Surprisingly, Axel's provocation has no effect and instead restores Gary's calm.Gary looks at Axel with sharp eyes before warning, "My mercy has extended your life in the past, but not in the present and future."Gary has learned his lesson and does not want to give his little brother another chance, so his hand moves back and fires some gunshots at Jason."I'm not giving you another stupid opening, Jason.""I know full well that such deception will not work twice against you."***At the same time, Joan's entourage had just arrived at the holy venue, becoming
Chapter 1 Under the heavy rain, a shady man in his raincoat is watching over a hotel. He looks at it in the same way as someone with an intention of revenge. Full of hostility, disgust, and anger residing under the mask. "Based on the information, this hotel is known as a Black Circle.A suspicious building that is rumored to be filled with assassins and killers around Norland City." 'Just a bit longer and I can avenge you, sis.' This man had this thought. *** Tap – tap – tap Jason Hayes is tapping his finger at the same time he's admiring the scenery that is made by heavy rain from outside his office. Tapping on something has always been his way to show his uneasiness. This time, anxiety with a slight hint of fear has also breached through his charismatic face. A result of thinking about many possibilities that might happen in the future. The source of this uneasiness is nothing
Chapter 2 To investigate the truth of Jason’s death announcement, Selina relies on her speed to take her back into the Black Circle building and have an audience with the administrator. "Where are they? The administrators… WHERE ARE THEY?" shout Selina. Selina does not waste her time and shouting to know the nearest administrator’s location. "Miss Hayes, I have to warn you that your rude behavior is starting to trouble those who are remembering Jason here." announced one employee, struggling to silence her. "It is surprising to have you give up all the composure you have." He continued. "If you keep acting like this, Miss Selina Hayes, I'm going to have to ask you out of this building." "Move... or I will have you down with my dagger!" threatens Selina. "Selina Hayes, behave yourself!! A woman is approaching Selina with a disapproving gesture. "You are not the owner and hold no right to do as you wish here.
Chapter 3 Light's taunting words about Jason Haye's success made Selina loosen her grapple. He takes advantage of her confusion to lift Selina by using his sheer force to slam her to the ground. Selina's intuition warns her about the possible impact of Light's countermeasure against her move. The moment her back almost made contact with the ground, she let go of her grapple and rolled backward. "What do you mean by that Light? Answer me!" yells Selina, demanding an explanation from him. Giggles~ "Do I have to make it simpler, Miss Hayes?" Light seems to enjoy Selina's state of mind. "It was I who killed the Owner of Black Circle, Jason Hayes. That was a great fight to remember."
Chapter 4 “Your shattered plate,” she says. Selina responded to the question. “WHAT?! Selina, how are you going to shatter them? “You requested that I place them here, but you never mentioned that you would not shatter them.” With Selina's stupid logic, Axel is hiding his face. He thinks it's better to let this girl die on the road than to see her break her palate at this stage. Selina, on the other hand, has remained vigilant. Axel's knowledge of the Black Circle could put her in danger. “What are you doing near Black Circle, a man like you?” asks Selina “I just got off work and am heading home. What else do you think I did at 2 in the morning?” The response came from Selina. “Trust is a valuable commodity in Norland City. “I need to double-check that you're not associating yourself with Black Circle.” “I'm not sure what your business with them is, but as a former cop, I strongly advise you to
Chapter 5 “Ugh… My head is throbbing. I saved her life, and this is how she repays me: by giving me a knock and causing me to collapse in my own home.” Axel was irritated. Axel tries to stand up despite the fact that his body is trembling from the knockout after effect. To sober up, he walks slowly to the kitchen and washes his face. Splash, splash. “Brrrr… The water is way so cold; I wonder what time it is right now. “ Axel raised his eyes to the clock; it was eight o'clock in the evening. “Great, I was unconscious for twelve hours and then had to go to work in this horrible state. Luckily, I had requested two days off from the bar beforehand; otherwise, I would not have been able to work properly there. It's all for the purpose of this once-in-a-lifetime invitation.” Axel reaches inside his kitchen drawer and pulls out a black envelope. The signature sign of Black Circle can be seen on this envelope.
Chapter 6 She pulls daggers from her sleeves and approaches Axel with caution. Axel, on the other hand, eventually gives up on trying to persuade Selina. “I don't have a choice.” Axel chimed in. Stabbing - swinging - stabbing! Selina decides to take initiative to go first and attack Axel. Her quick movements gave her a huge advantage. With no way to defend himself, Axel is forced to simply dodge the attacks. 'Why are all of her attacks so difficult to understand? If this continues, my neck will soon leave my body.' He mumbles. Stab - swing - stab! Drip. “Your left cheek has turned redder than usual, Axel,” Selina mocked. He wipes his left cheek to check the extent of the wound caused from Selina's attack. ‘I'm not sure whether I'm happy or sad about this wound. The wound is healed, but who knows what poison she has on her dagger?’ Axel's left cheek is swollen from the att
Chapter 7 Axel's eyes were glowing with a faithful look, out of nowhere he has received a new chance to get the information he wants. “What caused your sudden change of heart, Axel?” Selina mulls over something. “I have my own reasoning, Selina, so stop your chit-chat and let's get down to business.” Selina's cold stares have given way to an ambitious demeanor. She jots down everything that comes to mind in order to support her ideal plan. “As you wish, Axel. We will begin from understanding Raisen’s personality; based on what I have learned about her, Raisen is very obsessed with being respected. Unfortunately, no matter how much respect you show towards her, the way she looks at you does not change. Unless and until you have her approval or trust, the contract agreement between two of you will always be at the mercy of Raise’s hand.” Like an oracle Selina describing Raisen way of treating people by thinking she is ab
