Location: Hospital Entry Gate
"Here's your luggage and your Mobile Phone. An amount of $20000 has been sent to your bank account, as per the orders of Mr. Paul." Lucy wearing a blue suit handed over the luggage and phone to Marcus.
But unlike her expectation of seeing a defeated Leonard, she saw him smiling at her.
"Thank you, Ms. Lucy." said Marcus and turned to leave, then turned back.
"Is there something else, Mr. Leonard?"
"Yes, would you mind passing a message to my dad?"
"If it is about you going back home, don't bother. He said he don't want to see a drug addict in his home. Maybe you can talk to him after you quit"
"Oh no. Not that dear Ms. Lucy."
"Then, what?" Lucy was confused.
"Tell him that there is always room for mistakes but some mistakes could cost dearly." smirked Marcus as we turned and walked away, rolling his luggage bag.
Lucy stared at Marcus' back until he vanished from her sight. It's been three years since she joined the Wembley group as Paul's Personal secretory. In this period of time she had been to Wembley house a lot of times and she had seen Leonard, the shy nerd. She always thought of him as a harmless little boy. Even the news about his drug usage was a big shock to her.
But the aura of Leonard she just met was entirely different than what she had known. His deep blue eyes felt like it was staring into he soul. She could not believe that an eighteen year old young man could produce such a cold aura. She felt chills from his words of warning.
*beep*beep*beep* her phone rang.
She picked up the call.
"Is it done?" voice of Paul Wembley came from the other side.
"Yes, sir. It is done. Mr. Leonard left with his luggage."
"As I said, put someone to tail him. I want know everything he does. I don't want anymore trouble from him."
"It's already done, sir. Mr. Black will report to you daily about Mr. Leonard."
"But, sir..." Lucy hesitated
"Speak" Paul ordered.
"Mr. Leonard asked to pass you a message."
"What message?"
"He said that 'there is always room for mistakes but some mistakes could cost dearly.'"
"He is warning me now. Hahaha" He laughed
"I just hope he won't do anything stupid."
*beep*
The call ended, before Lucy could say anything.

Location : Web-link Internet Café.
Time : 10:45 PM
"Is private cabin available?" the late teenager in his black hoodie and black pants asked the manager of the café.
"$20 an hour. $100 if you wanna go for 6 hours package. No refunds." The Manager was busy playing on his computer. He replied without even looking at the teenager.
"I will take the 6 hours." asked the customer.
"Just a sec, bro, let me finish this match." he replied, but suddenly became happy and yelled "VICTORYYYY". He chuckled before looking up, to see the Marcus in his black hoodie covering his head waiting for him.
"Oh, sorry for the wait bro. That was a crucial rank up match. If I lost, that would have affected my player's levelling up." He gave a genuine smile to Marcus. He got up from the computer chair
"So cash or card?" he asked and waited for Marcus to reply.
Marcus looked at the manager for a second. The guy must be in his early twenties. Wears his full framed oval spectacles. He had black short hairs that styled like spikes.
"Cash." Marcus replied and handed over a $100 bill from his hoodie pocket.
"New around here, huh?" asked the manager as he processed the card for activating the private cabin's computer.
Marcus did not reply and waited for the manager to process. After not getting any answer from Marcus he did not repeat the question and handed over the access card to Marcus.
"Cabin #12, the one on the end."
Marcus collected the card and walked to the cabin the manager pointed towards. He found the cabin #12 and sat on the computer chair after closing the cabin's door. He plugged in the access card and booted the PC.
He wanted to know the latest news about the Albion Kingdom. He surfed through various news articles and found many information.
'So from what I can gather from these news reports are that,
One, at the very least to the public, the Crown Prince of Albion Kingdom has not passed away, but missing while visiting the ancestral temple.
Two, Albert Roland, my step- brother from royal father's second wife has taken the helm as the temporary ruler of the kingdom, until Marcus returns.
Three, somebody is desperately trying to make a rumor that I have ran away with a commoner.' Marcus then read about the current situation in Albion Kingdom, to find that it is temporarily at calm and there was no news about the black book or the Cymry Kingdom.
'This might be good. As long as the peace remains, I will get time to plan my action. I can't just rush into Albion and yell that I am the Crown Prince Marcus with Leo's body. Although we have fought a lot when we were kids, Albert is a good ruler and his sincere love towards the kingdom is something I can acknowledge wholeheartedly.'
'Hang in there brother, I will return to you soon and we will nail the coffin of Cymry Kingdom and the bitch*s who backstabbed us inside the Kingdom.'
Marcus was really satisfied to hear that Albion is not yet in a trouble. So he decided to change his focus to present situation. He already had made a basic plan of action, which would be to start with the help of combining Leo's hacking skills and his own war tactics.

Location: Dark Alleyway
"Yes, master. It looks like young master Leonard has bought a villa near his high-school." A man's muffled rough voice destroys the silence in the dark alleyway. He was on phone with someone.
"He stayed there for the rest of the day after his meeting with Ms. Lucy. He is now at the Web-Link Internet Café. I heard that he would be spending the night there, Sir."
"Keep me updated if there are any changes." The other side replied
"Sure, sir"
*beep* the phone got disconnected and the voice in the dark alleyway became silent once again.
