Kim was sitting on pins and needles as she nervously gripped Blaire's sweaty hands and gazing at the tense Ziarra that was about to freak out, Diane who was calmly facing off Dwight and the other just gave them a cold side glance and sipped her coffee.
Blaire: "....." Heartless Leader! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Kim: "....." I thought you were my sister! (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
Ziarra: "....." give us salvation!! (ノಥ,_｣ಥ)ノ彡┻━┻
Dwight broke the tense atmosphere and coldly asked, "..You were saying...about the cooperation?"
Kobe gave them an inquiring glance to Kim and Keith was still maniacally grinning towards Blaire seemingly deaf to Dwight's voice and Thrello was sending a bright wave of smiles towards Ziarra's.
This made the three poor girls even more tense and alert, feeling that these Devils is cooking up some scheme of some sort, that made the atmosphere awkward but this didn't concern Dwight and Diane at all as they kept conversing 'normally'.
"Yes..i am seeking your help at the same time cooperate with you.." Diane slowly said, sipped a bit of her coffee before continuing.
" I know that you're in a very tight spot right now, and to which matter? you should know it yourself.." Diane coldly cast him a glance and fished out a folder and placing it on the table, pushing it towards his side.
Dwight Lopez and his Co. was suspected by Eyedentity being a spy from the Mafia Council and at the same time the Mafia Council treated their group coldly because of the skirmishes from the Eyedentity and the trouble they gave.
Their Identities were very questionable, Especially when Dwight and Kobe's father was actually Kaizer Lopez, who was part of the Mafia Council with a very high position third only to the Governing Head of the Council, this title was enough to frighten most of the Council members, and they were forced to tread on thin ice.
That's why when Dwight and the other joined the Eyedentity Corp. instead of the Mafia council, it almost caused an uprising from the other higher ups of the Mafia Council, nearly placing the title of a traitor above their heads, it's just that Kaizer Lopez wasn't a vegetarian, He was actually an especially 'big meat eater'. In the end, they lost 2 council members in which got swallowed by Kaizer and that finally shut them up.
But that didn't mean the suspicion was eliminated, they were just lowkey about it.
That's why all these years, Dwight and Co. was treated as a suspicious group by both sides.
and why they 'sided' with Eyedentity, no one knows.
"You want to give me a guarantee?" Dwight locked gazes with Diane.
He knows, her status in Eyedentity was very special and if she says that she can give him a guarantee then it's a guarantee. It's just that based on his quick investigation on her background, she was actually a billionaire heiress of the Nalcon Corporation, as for her hidden identity as an assassin, he only knows that she should be one of the higher ups or so he thought.
Diane nodded whilst not breaking eye contact with him, "Yes, with my guarantee, you can have what you want. I know you wanted to access deeper in Eyedentity but with the higher ups being wary of you and deliberately making things difficult, you were stuck on a stalemate, even if you have thought of a plan, then that would be long term."
"Unlike what I'm offering now, I'm basically giving you a short cut." Diane's lips hooked up a little and a mischievous light flashing through her eyes couldn't escape Dwight's gaze.
A flicker would be seen in Dwight's eyes and the hand holding the folder trembled slightly, and his gaze burned intensely towards her direction. Diane thought, her proposal piqued his interest based on his intense gaze.
So she dismissed how intense they were and the hidden meaning behind them.
Kobe who was watching Dwight's reaction from the side couldn't help but hold his forehead. He knows his dear brother wasn't even listening to Diane, only absentmindedly staring at her face and based on his trembling hand, he was holding himself back from clinging at her.
Brother, You're hopeless! (´-﹏-`;)
Kobe switched his gaze towards Kim and found her bowing to her phone, not paying attention to him at all, this made Kobe who was looking forward for today's meeting, a bit disgruntled.
On second thought, how about pouncing on them right now? (-_-;)・・・
"Then...What do you want from me?" Dwight spoke slowly, leaning towards Diane.
Diane's eyes jump when he saw him leaning towards her and the low and magnetic voice seemed to tickle her ears a little, his words weren't any better.
Why does it sound a bit wrong? Σ(ಠ_ಠ)
Diane casted away her thoughts and furrowed her brows, " Forge us false identities, when we enter the Sky Tower."
The Sky Tower that Diane was referring to was the Third building that was quietly floating atop the academy.
"Deal." Dwight didn't think twice to agree and stretched out his hands.
Diane did the same and firmly shook it, signifying that their deal will be effective from now on.
Diane was about to take back her hand when Dwight tightened his grip, intentionally or unintentionally caressed the back of her hand with his thumb before Diane could show a scowl at him he quickly let go.
Diane squinted her eyes at him and Dwight's fingers that were hidden in his pocket trembled a little when he saw her 'cute' expression. Diane gazed at his cold and indifferent facial expression and couldn't help but doubt herself for a moment.
Has her senses failed her?
At the side, the trio could feel a strong wave of reluctance and Dwight showing a hint of 'grieving'.
Kobe: "...." How come you suddenly became human? ತ_ತ
Keith: "...." He's possesed right? (╬⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾ Д ⁽⁽ ⁰ ⁾⁾)
Thrello had a complicated gaze as he stared at Ziarra.
Remembering the happenings yesterday, he just felt so surreal. Thrello lowered his eyes to hide his complicated expression and slightly smiled. Either way, since they were here now, they won't be able to run anyways, he will slowly trap her here, by his side, till death. Thrello's mesmerizing emerald eyes flickered dangerously at that thought.
After sorting out his mind, he also thoughtfully thought about learning courting techniques since the other trio are basically useless in this regard, but he was a bit worried because the internet had too many unreliable ideas. Although he was dubbed as a playboy, he just couldn't be careless about courting his 'baby' after all. He mentally scolded himself for being careless and tried to think something else.
Anyways, he could try them all and see if any of them works then go with the flow. Mentally nodding to himself, He spontaneously decided to sort a book plan in this regard.
Thrello raised his head and beamed at Ziarra's direction with a renewed fighting power.
Kim however was starting to get suspicious. She started to secretly observe the Devils' behaviors and the more she observed the more black lines gathers around her beautiful face.
She realized that, this Devils' 'intentions' weren't so 'simple and pure' like Demon said after all.
As a Vice Leader, she would always be the one handling the schemes. She was the main brain in their group.
Kim's eyes narrowed and a flicker could be seen.
'Now, what are the Devil's other plans?'
