Chereads / She is Shadow / Chapter 22 - 22. Traped

Chapter 22 - 22. Traped

Charles looks sharply at Lucas. Lucas, who sees that expression, understands that Charles is worried about his daughter, who is alone with a man in the room.

"Th-that..." Cleo asked me to play with her." Lucas said, explaining what was going on.

He didn't want any misunderstandings between himself and Charles and explained to Charles what had happened.

Charles, who remembered Cleo's habit, sighed harshly. "I forgot that she always asks me to play games before going to bed." Charles said, stepping closer to Cleo, who is currently asleep while leaning on the foot of the bed.

When he was about to carry Cleo, he smelled the smell of a substance on Cleo's body. He immediately guessed that his daughter had just come from the laboratory.

"This kid, when will she grow up anyway?" Charles grumbled, watching Cloe, who was sleeping.

Lucas only watched him without commenting at all. Lucas can see that the man's love for Cleo isn't fake. Perhaps only Charles knows about her potential and also how lucky he is to have found a gem like Cleo.

Just now, as Charles was about to carry Cleo, Lucas stopped him.

"Let me carry her." Lucas offered.

Charles frowned, then smiled slightly. "Ah well." Charles agreed. even though he shouldn't have allowed Lucas to carry Cleo. "I'll be waiting for you downstairs. I have something to tell you," said Charles.

Cleo looked innocent in Lucas' eyes. A girl sleeping in a guy's room, whom she just met, That is the only thing he knows about her.

Seeing Lucas carry Cleo into her room, Charles' eyes stare at Lucas's back.

One day, you will become a threat to both of us. One day you have to choose which side you are on. Today you protect her, tomorrow you will be her enemy. " Charles thought.

It is true that a man would be a threat to her. If Lucas got together with Cleo and if they fell in love, Charles doesn't know what will happen in the future, but he has to be prepared to avoid something bad from happening.

Lucas puts Cleo on the bed and looks around the room. Not finding anything strange, he looks at some photos that are displayed. In the family photo are Mike, Nathan, Charles, and Cleo. Cleo is the only one in the picture. Lucas secretly took a picture of the photo. He wants to know the identity of the two men in the photo.

After he finishes looking around, Lucas immediately comes out of Cleo's room and goes downstairs. where Charles was waiting for him.

"I want to continue telling you about Cleo's story. I hope that I can help you finish the case that you are investigating. " Charles said, pulling out a photo album.

He only listened to what Charles told him. Then he looked at the photos the man showed him. Now and then, Charles would tell Lucas about Cleo and even show him some childhood photos of Cleo. Even though he's a mafia member, Charles is still a father. That's how he sees himself.

Charles was born into a poor family. His father was a thug who founded his current organization, while his mother left him and his father because of economic problems. Where his mother is now, he doesn't want to know. Because of the trauma of being left by his mother, Charles never wanted marriage. At that time, he was still young, brought up by his father without the love of a mother, and was only surrounded by so much evil. That is Charles's past.

His heart is so sincere, his good side was fully given to Cleo when the little girl first entered his life. Perhaps his weakness is Cleo in the eyes of her rivals. When he taught Cleo, he did it twice as hard as the other kids. Cleo can be the capable person she is either because of Charles's teachings or her brilliance.

In Charles' eyes, Lucas is a man who could take Cleo from his side and also be her greatest danger. Maybe not only hers but Charles's too.

Cleo woke up when she heard her alarm go off. She had set the alarm to wake her up because she had to go on a mission. She got up and headed for the door. The door's location is only known by her.

With the underground elevator, she heads towards her laboratory. When she enters, she is greeted by the system she settled up. The place was designed in all white with several glass partitions to separate the place into several rooms.

Cleo grabbed a white lab coat, then tied her silver hair. She starts to pick up some things and takes the equipment that she usually uses when doing research.

There are so many test materials in the room, including a fetus in a large capsule that is growing with time. The fetus of the woman she killed a few days ago at the nightclub.

Before carrying out her activities, she first checks the condition of the baby who is currently under her supervision.

"Heart rate is normal. Today's development is better than before. " Cleo mumbled and entered the information into her data.

She begins to mix a few things to make the medicine she wants. Her room has an underground elevator and a subway that would take her to the laboratory in about two minutes.

Several chemical elements can be seen in the tube while she weighs several mixtures of substances that would produce an extraordinary chemical.

An object lives in a large tube. It isn't an object, but a living thing that is growing in the tube. heartbeat, and the formation of

Cleo smiled while looking at the tube. A new life is growing inside. She still remembers clearly how she saved it. Perhaps, if she was not a medical expert, the fetus would have died along with its mother.

Her medical equipment is 100 times more sophisticated than the medical equipment she sees in general. How advanced is her knowledge?

Cleo was standing in a rather large room, the Al-Eye data center room. How Cleo killed her targets can be seen on the screen.

"Delete..." The system followed Cleo's command and deleted what Cleo wanted to delete.

Cleo swiped a few times, found what she wanted, and asked to have it deleted immediately from her system.

"Delete... delete... delete this one too..." She said, and checked some files again.

She must delete all data pertaining to the murders she committed in case something untoward occurs, or if someone is suddenly able to hack her android eye.

Logs, bugs, and logarithms are running on the screen as if they would never run out and end. The system runs for 24 hours and covers the whole globe, so it's not strange that so many systems are overlapping there.
