Soon, all the traitors from different branches of QH were eliminated by Welis in just 4 days. An emergency meeting was called in that meantime so the traitors were easily spotted and it became a manslaughtering house. Adonis was looking at the blank screen while Welis was busy killing the traitors inside the meeting room.
Only 4 remain out of 15.
They were all scared and also surprised to see the number of traitors among them who sell their information to the north. It was also a warning that if someone tried to betray the company, their head would be gone.
"Um.. sir. The councillor was asking for a brief explanation about the sudden postponement. They are willing to pay 2 months before what we agreed to."
"We will face some losses, but we are not going to sell because of a serious side effect of the medicine. Luckily, it was solved yesterday and we will start the production after the fall of 2033."
"Sir North, are you sure that the medicine has a side effect? If we don't sell this, our company will face an 80 million won loss."
"I will take care of the loss. Follow my instructions and make preparations for the next production. For now, clean the room and send those bodies to the north. And, we are taking over the northern sectors instead of cutting ties. I will show them what happens when they mess with me."
But deep inside his mind, he was sad that he was still unable to trace his master. He was still invisible.
At that time, that woman came in with a tablet and said, "Good evening, Sir North. I'm Hawang Sho, the security team member of QH."
Adonis saw a familiar face after 4 days so he told her to take a seat. "It looks like more than half of our members were rats that stole our money and power for all these years. We need to recruit more members by changing some methods. What do you think?"
"I believe it's best to recruit the newly graduated students from Elite H. College."
"That college.. Hm.. We will see about that."
Adonis took out a chocolate that his master used to love and gave it to Sho. She was dumbfounded to see the candy in her hand. "Sir?"
"Thank you for your handwork."
Adonis smiled at her and left the meeting room which was filled with blood stains. That night, Adonis received his new ID from one of his members whom he manipulated and also made one for Welis with her last name Li. The identity issues were also solved. Now it was his turn to find his master.
Master, I feel like I'm so near you but I can't sense you out. I wonder what you look like. Do you still remember me, master?
He went outside and started to look around for him right away.
The night was still young.
…
Days passed but Adonis saw no hope. He walked around the streets, schools, colleges and even prisons to look for the soul because the reincarnated soul of his master might become anyone and there was a high chance that his master had forgotten about everything. But still, he didn't give up and looked for those two who talked in Vesa.
On his way back after searching all night, he received a call from Welis that the north branch was trying to hack into the server and she hacked them instead. And then in the crowd of people, he saw a man with the same aura as his master gazing at his face.
The golden aura and the soul, the golden hollow on the chest caught his eyes. He was shocked to see the stranger's face but the soul can never lie.
He saw the stranger's eyes were shedding tears and that's when he knew that he had finally found what he was searching for.
It was nobody but his master North.
Master? That's my master, right?
He moved his legs slowly but soon he started running towards him. He quickly hugged him because he didn't want him to get lost again. At that moment, he was still unsure about his master's memories. But it didn't matter to him.
He went straight to him and finally, he found out that his master hadn't forgotten about him.
After a warm reunion, Ivon held both of his hands and told him to stop crying because they were attracting attention around him.
"Master, never pull this kind of act ever again. Or I'll destroy the whole planet and kill myself."
"-_-. You don't have to destroy a whole world for me though. I'm tired after waking around for a week so take me somewhere I can sleep."
"I know exactly what you want, master. So please follow me."
Suddenly, Rae's presence caught his eyes and said, "Master, who is this?"
"Oh, his name is Astraeus. The guardian of moons and stars. He accompanied me before I found you but we parted ways soon."
"Pardon me for showing my embarrassing acts in front of you. I am Adonis North, the butler of my master, Viktor North."
"I'm Astraeus Light. The guardian of moons and stars."
A shiny black car stopped in front of them and the girl that they saw a week ago got out of the car to greet Adonis.
"Good morning sir North. I'm here to take you back to the office."
Ivon wasn't surprised because when he saw Adonis, he looked inside his records and saw the recent things he achieved in just a week. He took a whole company and used everything he gave him to his advantage.
But he was surprised to see he also managed to make an ID in 4 days.
"Master, shall we go to our new home?"
"You even bought a house?" Ivon asked him in the Vesa language because Sho was there listening to their conversation and they had already met before. But the presence of his boss 'Adonis' stopped her from saying hello.
"Yes, I thought it will be better to prepare everything."
"Hehehe!! My knight is the boss now. How do you feel about maintaining an organization by yourself? Are you having fun?"
"To be honest, having power in one's hand doesn't mean you're high, it means carrying a huge responsibility for all those people who're working under you. It's definitely not child's play."
"Hahaha. I'll help you so rest assured."
Ivon patted his shoulder because he was proud of Adonis but he rejected his offer.
"You're going to rest for your eternity master!! You are forbidden from doing any kind of office job. I won't tolerate anything anymore! I am going to take care of everything!"
Ivon laughed again and said, "Okay okay!! Stop shouting. Just make me a good warm bed so I can crawl inside and never come out."
Adonis felt like a huge burden left his shoulder.
Viktor's POV :::
So I was right, the girl sitting in front of us is the one whom we met a few days ago in the part at midnight. She's working under Adonis now.
When Viktor's eyes met hers, she smiled a little bit when Adonis looked at her, her expression changed and went back to the professional one.
I guess she was trying to have a conversation with me and Rae but she kept her mouth shut because of her boss. She's an obedient one.
Viktor looked outside and saw the old budding where he used to work was being constructed again by another company.
It was a medicine company 5 years ago but when the director fired him and replaced him with a goldfish-like idiot from some rich family, the next batch of medicine was a failure and the company quickly went bankrupt.
But at that time, Ivon already left the city and took a part-time job in a small cafe. And after a few months, the director found him and begged him to join the company once again and save what was already destroyed, he simply rejected his offer and also left the cafe because he was too annoying.
After that, Ivon didn't even bother to look back and finally, he just died.
But I had no idea that he was also going to lose his father's property. I bet his father had already abandoned him on the street.
Viktor laughed a little after thinking about how miserable he was.
Adonis looked at Viktor's reflection in the glass and he felt relieved.
"Adonis, that company building, can you buy that?"
"You mean the new company which is re-constructing the old medicine company a few blocks away?"
"Yes."
"That building is going to become an apartment complex. The CEO of Egro company is the owner. But if I pay .5 times more than the actual price, he might sell it back to me."
"Hm...No. Let's just forget it. Since I'm not related to that anymore. It's better to let go of my past."
"Yes, master."
