FALLING INTO AMBUSH
WHO'S THAT KID?203Please respect copyright.PENANA5mx4ghAQuh
Alvin lunged, aiming his bronze dagger at the boy's chest. But the young assailant was quick. With a nimble sidestep, he dodged the attack and launched his own. A glint of steel flashed as he whipped out another dagger, his target: Lisa.
Caught off guard, Lisa barely had time to react. She stumbled back, losing her footing and scraping against the rough cobblestones. Despite the fall, she managed to deflect the blow, twisting away at the last second.
Blood welled up from a deep gash in Lisa's arm. The dagger she'd pulled free lay abandoned on the ground. Rage contorted the boy's face. His eyes, once filled with unsettling amusement, now burned with fury.
He charged again, the dagger glinting menacingly in the darkness. But Alvin, fueled by a surge of protectiveness, threw himself in front of Lisa. Their blades met in a clatter of metal, sparks flying in the dim light.
The boy pressed his attack with relentless ferocity. Alvin, using every ounce of his strength and agility, parried and dodged, desperately trying to keep the boy's weapon away from him and Lisa.
In a desperate maneuver, Lisa lunged forward, grabbing the boy's arm in a vise-like grip. Seizing the opportunity, Alvin thrust his dagger forward, the blade sinking into the boy's abdomen.
A gasp escaped the boy's lips. His eyes widened in shock as he crumpled to his knees, his hand instinctively reaching for the wound. The boy's chilling laughter died in his throat, replaced by a pained moan.
Lisa and Alvin stared in horror at the pool of blood spreading from the boy's wound. An unsettling silence hung in the air, broken only by the rasping breaths of the injured child.
Then, a chilling cackle shattered the stillness. "Fools!" the boy cackled. "You think bringing me to your knees is a triumph? You've only stoked the flames of my greed. Now, prepare for a world of pain!"
With a twisted grin, he slowly rose to his feet. Lisa and Alvin watched, a mixture of horror and morbid curiosity twisting their features. The boy's wound, mere moments ago a gaping injury, began to visibly mend. It knitted itself shut like magic, leaving behind no trace of the attack. The impossible was unfolding before their very eyes, rewriting the laws of biology as they knew them.203Please respect copyright.PENANAhgSvI2d0OS
"Until next time, Colonel," he taunted, his voice dripping with malice. "Then, You won't be left alive."
Before either could react, he vanished into the night, leaving them speechless and disoriented.
Panic surged through Alvin as Lisa crumpled to the ground, a cry escaping her lips. He rushed to her side, kneeling to assess the damage. She had lost a significant amount of blood, the wound in her arm looking severe. Fear gnawed at him – her injury could be fatal.
Acting quickly, Alvin tore a strip of cloth from his shirt and pressed it firmly against Lisa's wound, attempting to slow the bleeding. Their desperate search for a cab was met with success, and they sped towards the Central, a storm of worry swirling within them.
UNDERGROUND GUILDS
Kim Jae-ha, a significant member and second executive of the notorious Mist Mafia, descended into the hidden lair. It wasn't a dusty attic as it appeared above ground, but a luxurious underground mansion. While the surface building presented a false display of an abandoned house to become a point of neglection, beneath it stretched a technologically advanced complex, boasting an estimated 40 underground levels with five levels used as a living quarter to the high rankers including all luxuries of life with advanced security systems.203Please respect copyright.PENANACbqoVIfuIW
The sixth level provided a guest suite to the same mafia dignities and personas that often used to visit the Mist Mafia. From the seventh to the ninth floor, lied the leisure areas including a grand casino, a nightclub for the major events the mafia used to held with their accomplices, bars, deluxe suanas and hot steam rooms, achievement gallaries featuring all the valuable stolen peices and ornaments etc.203Please respect copyright.PENANANvmBBfCwtJ
Then in all the other lower floors, they had weapon areas stacked with guns, bombs, and anything else they might need for a fight. Practice areas mimicked real battles so their soldiers could be the best. Special soundproof rooms waited for anyone who wouldn't talk, places where they could get the information they needed, no matter what. Secret vaults hid piles of money, gold, and anything else valuable they could get their hands on.
But this wasn't just a place with muscle. A special room sent secret messages that no one could understand, keeping them ahead of their enemies. Their hackers were like digital wizards, hiding their plans and messing with their rivals' computers. Secret tunnels, like hidden veins, were escape routes in case of trouble. And to relax after all this serious work, they even had hidden bars and secret gardens, like a little slice of paradise underground. This whole world beneath the ground showed how powerful the Mist Mafia really was. It wasn't built with bricks and walls, but with secrets and being super good at what they did, even if it wasn't exactly legal.
The vigorous Mist Mafia. A name whispered in hushed tones, a shroud of fear cloaking their every move. This ruthless, clandestine organization, rooted in the criminal underbelly of Korea, had woven a web of influence that stretched far and wide. Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese – a diverse network bound by a dark agenda.
Their grip extended beyond petty crime. High-profile assassinations, the likes of Germany's former President, Oden Kersten, and prominent military officials, stained their hands with the blood of the powerful. But these acts weren't random.
Germany, a nation teeming with "Interfusers" – individuals gifted with extraordinary abilities – was their hunting ground. It was no coincidence they called Germany the "State of the Unusual."
The Mist Mafia's objective was chillingly clear: to dismantle this stronghold of power. They targeted the strongest, the most skilled Interfusers, particularly those with unique, rare abilities. Why? A two-fold plan fueled their murderous rampage.
Firstly, to weaken Germany's core, to sever the nation's strength at its roots. Secondly, and perhaps even more sinister, to collect the very essence of these diverse Interfusions. Their ultimate goal: to forge a singular, unmatched Interfusion, a nightmarish amalgamation of stolen abilities.
With this ultimate power in their grasp, they envisioned a future where Germany, the land of Interfusers, would crumble. And their reign of terror wouldn't stop there. They dreamt of a world cleansed of Interfusers, a world sculpted in their own twisted image.
This mafia works covertly under the ground and encompasses fifteen Executives and over twenty thousand of workers spread in different parts of the world but the most apt and intensely serious people came to Germany as it was their first priority.Each of these members have a code name , rank and specified duty.The crew is situated in an abandoned mansion's attic which was a like an another world inside and various tunnels were spread underground connecting many hideouts of the mafia with the main core where the Executives resided.
This was the Mafia of the unjust, Now here's the Mafia of the just, The 'White Fangs' being led under the instructions and orders of Jason Aldrich . Just as the Mist Mafia's purpose is destruction, the White Fangs duty is to stop that destruction and become an abatis in front of the threats and peril that comes to their country .Their responsibility is to defend the country secretly without being acknowledged or known by the Military or any other people.But the military seeks both Mafia's as unlawful organizations. They do know the names of the Mafias but they do not know the members of the guilds. The members of White Fangs are represented under the names of wolves. Some code names are known by the Military but do not know to whom these abbreviated representative codes belonged to. Hence, the members of White Fangs and Mist Mafia know each other but are standing on the same bridge. If any one of them cuts the rope the bridge both of them will fall that's why they contracted that their matters would only remain among them. These two guilds communicated in Greek language.And so Mist Mafia keeps violating the laws and murdering the Interfusers and the White Fangs maintains the conditions by keeping things on tracks.
ADMONISHMENTS
Academically, reaching home late Alvin hoped his father to be fallen asleep but went alarmed to see his father and Aldrich sitting on the table in the manner of biding for him.He had became shocked but kept a balanced expression to his face which had gone pale due to the state of affairs.He walked up to them and was about to open his mouth to speak that his father spoke first.
"Where were you?", asked Nathaniel.
"to some where where I was told not to" replied Alvin, understanding that his father had been told every thing. He looked sharply into Aldrich's sterling gray eyes which had a slight burning look in them.
Raising his voice a little Nathaniel said to Alvin, "When you were told not to then why did you went there.Why didn't you agreed to what Aldrich said?"
,"Because I can't keep myself away from things that I'm told to abstain.", Alvin too replied giving a quick acceleration to his wordings.He continued, "If he had told me every thing then It wouldn't had turned out like this. Father!"
,"So you mean I should share each and every secret of mine with you.", spoke Aldrich who was to be seen the most calmest among them.He set his words to fire and continued, "From when did you became such obedient towards me enough to be trusted?" Displeasure could be felt from his words as if he was enraged but didn't wanted any one to admit it.Alvin went furious
,"I didn't spoke to you Lt. General so it's better for you to keep your mouth shut!"He was about to speak further that he was cut off by his father who said, "Alvin! Behave yourself."
,"President calm down. Let him speak from the bottom of his heart so that any thing doesn't remains in his heart as a burden and any ways he is too young to speak his mind.It's okay with me unless he doesn't goes there and if he does he'll get killed himself and nothing less...Now where's the Colonel?", said Aldrich still calm.
On hearing this Alvin went washed-out for a little moment which made Aldrich repeat his words but this time with curiosity on which Alvin answered in a low voice, "In the hospital"
These words left Jason's and Twain's eyes bewildered. Aldrich got up from his seat and said
,"In the Hospital...why? Is she injured?"
,"No she went to visit a friend who was suffering from blood loss.She went their to donate her blood.", replied Alvin repeating Lisa's words.He lied because Lisa told him that she would tell every thing to Aldrich herself"
MANAGING THE BATTLEFIELD
"Azusa, So-hee and Kosuke.You three are going to guard outside the mansion and block the members of White Fangs from getting them inuntil the Military arrives. Kai you've got to done the job tonight without being noticed.Make sure it is done today and after that job Azusa, So-hee and Kosuke, you all should get out with out being noticed.", said the boss who was speaking through a flip phone.
,"So, Is killing the Professor our only purpose.I think there is something beyond that too." said Jae-ha.
,"Oh. Jae-ha don't get so curious.And if you talk about the purpose then killing the Professor isn't really our aim.We're not going to take his Interfusion's essence, instead we're going to trap one of the member's of White Fangs."
,"Who?", asked Eijiro.
,"It will be decided by whom Aldrich sends inside the mansion.", replied the boss.
,"And how?", asked Ruo Lan
,"You'll see soon Ruo Lan."
On the other hand the Lt.General too was in his hideout with his comrades
,"The scheming is that, tomorrow at the first light of dawn Lisa will go inside the mansion and without being noticed she would bring the professor out in a taxi in which Edgar will be waiting for them as well as guarding the surroundings.In that meanwhile Denki and Reynal would be around near the mansion too as reinforcements. If anything seems out you three would immediately get in and if you find any member of the Mist Mafia in there then...shoot them off.", explained Aldrich.
,"Understood sir!", Edgar, Lisa, Denki and Reynal said.
,"And Maxence keep us connected to each other.Also as a reinforcement Oscar you'll take form in the window of the mansion that is in front of the professor's.If anything doesn't agrees with our plan or you see someone from the Mist Mafia approaching inside the mansion, kill him at once...And remember! You all have to return alive.That's not an advice that's an order! There are no options for mishaps."
All of the them saluted to their Lt. General and prepared their intentions for the next day.
STRATAGEM
The Major General Valarico Karlheinz was sitting in his office doing some paper work that suddenly he heard a knock on his door.He nodded and then allowed the person to come in.The person came in and saluted saying, "Sir!" A person has arrived.He says he wants to meet you."
Valarico took a glance at the clock that was placed on the wall and thought who could come at this hour of night.He simply flew the thought in the air and said, "Tell him that I'm busy.I can't meet him now."
,"But sir he says he's from Gestapo and wants to meet you urgently."
On hearing the word 'Gestapo' he got a little stunned and said, "Gestapo? Describe his aspect."
,"He's wearing a black cloak that is hiding his clothes.On his face he's wearing a mask that's hiding his face and a hat that is covered in the cloak that's hiding his eyes.The only thing I was able to see was a little bit of his hairs coming out of the hat, they were copper like in color."
"Call him in.", the Major General ordered.
After a couple of seconds the person came in And the description of his appearance was totally accurate as described before. The door was closed and now only Valarico and the person were present in the room.
,"So, what is it that you want to talk with me about.", the Major General started.
,"I'm here to tell you about something.The chief of Gestapo has sent me here to inform you about something.", the person in the black cloak said.
Valarico, at once recognized that his voice was of a boy's and could vividly declare that the person standing in front of him was a young boy, maybe in his late teen or early 20's.
,"Professor Tobias Tilman is going to be murdered tomorrow."
Valarico went shocked.Again the boy started, "The chief told me to send the military in the morning to guard his house and his life and to find the murderer."
,"Do you know who the murderer is?"
."No.We don't, but it is important to catch him because he is involved in other murders too"
,"I've got it.Than you for coming here."
The boy turned around to walk away but stopped by hearing the Major General asking who he was.He didn't answered the question but said that he is some one who is not allowed to tell any one his true identity and then he left.
