Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 | motive

jo's suit retreated back into his watch and went back to work having appointment with his clients. he doesn't know that li is pretending to be allergic to him so no one could make fun of her falling inlove with some unique superheroes that time.

while jo is at work, his step-sister, julia decided to come to his office for a moment after she finished her classes.

"good morning big brother! what are you up to?" julia decided to greet her step-brother to check him if he's fine.

"what do you need princess? im busy at work." jo replied.

"so anyways, have you seen this cool new superhero here saving a princess from getting killed? i think i kinda idolize him now... i think he's really nice! he even help me find my mom when i was lost before" as if julia showed a video of dark trying to stop the bad guy.

"wow! that's really cool!" he smiled as if he heard that his sister idolizes him but she didn't know, the hero who helped her was her brother.

"i can't wait to meet and talk to him soon! i want to become friends with him!"

"w-wait..r-really??"

"for real. i bet he is really nice and awesome"

jo's eyes widened and he has a weird feeling about his sister wanting to meet him soon and he doesn't really know what to say. but atleast he is very proud to hear the fact that he finally gets some love on his secret identity.

"yeah me too, im really proud of him.. hehe, too bad you can't get to meet him for a while" he scoffed.

"but why"

"well um, that's really difficult to answer that, but anyways, i have to go back to work now. i've got more important matters to work on, also, have you done your homework already"

"yes i did"

"well, that's good. it seems like my client is about to come. bye sugarplum"

"but can i stay here for a little while? please?"

"sorry you can't. if my boss sees that you're here, i'm gonna be fired. lets get you back home." jo stood up from his seat and ride a taxi to bring her back home and he went back to the clinic and continue working again and meet clients.

after some restless days of work and fixing all files ahead, he finally get to catch a break from his duties as a hero and his duties as a doctor himself. its night time and ride a taxi to his house. and julia came downstairs to meet him.

"welcome home brother! you've got something for me?"

"oh, why are you still awake yet? you have school tomorrow, don't you? also, im sorry i brought nothing since its already night time and before i grabbed a taxi just to get you some food, all the stores here are closed." jo replied sadly.

"oh, its alright brother, but i can't sleep yet so i watch some tv upstairs. but can i sleep beside you so i can finally sleep?" julia asked.

"hahaha, ok sure. you should sleep early so you can wake up early tomorrow and have some energy for school." jo suggested.

"ok big bro" she smiled to him and went back to bed.

...

the next day, after li finished her exams this monday, she encountered the same guy who seized her last week. so she decided to come near it and summoned a bubble to trap the stranger who seized her that easily.

"you! hah, i found you! dare to seize me again huh?"

"ow stop! please! set me free!"

li didnt release the stranger on the bubble until it felt unconsious. now that that guy passed out for a little while, she opened her bag to grab a ballpen and poked the bubble to release him.

"now answer my question, who the **** are you??"

the unknown guy didnt reply, li summoned a bubble to trap him again.

"do you want me to summon more bubbles huh? this is your last warning... NOW YOU ****ING ***** ANSWER MY DAMN QUESTION. WHO ARE YOU AND WHO SENT YOU HERE TO SEIZE ME"

"ow ok ok ill explain... charli told me you are her ex-friend right? she sent me here to seize you and she wants to destroy everyone even you and jo."

"is that it?"

"please don't hurt me again im serious that's it"

"well if that's so, let me know who you are"

"please dont! my master will-" li took of the mask of the stranger and it turns out...
