Chapter 16 - Two Participants

Two days after the conclusion of the Invisible Hunter's incident, all the three groups - Freedom, Order and Revolution were subsequently thrown into a frenzy.

Despite the entire situation revolving around the group of Freedom, the fact that the main mastermind behind the whole ordeal still remained anonymous gave birth to great tension between the three major groups.

During the aftermath of the incident's ordeal, somewhere in a dark empty place, two pairs of footsteps drew closer towards its centre.

Followed by the steps of these figures, a few eerie lights turned on alongside them and soon illuminated the entire place.

"I still doubt that he would have tried to reveal you without being in a tricky circumstance." The first voice that was heard belonged to a young female.

"He was a selfish man, to think that he would abandon his life for nothing is impossible but that still does not answer the question - why would he do that?" The voice that confirmed her theory was much deeper, the voice of a young male.

Pulling their chairs back, both the participants comfortably take their seats still in the ominous place facing each other with a long fancy table in between them.

The male participant apathetically looks at the table entirely filled with delicious foods and decorations, as if even the fanciest of all gourmets would not even be worth a second of his attention.

"Maybe the Healer intervened?"

"I'd rather not talk more about this incident and her any further."

"You don't have a good image of her?"

"She is potentially a threat to my goals so I'd rather not antagonise her."

During their conversation the male participant slowly starts to consume the extravagant cuisine.

Both of the participants of this conversation look formal as the male wore a business suit and had a rigid posture, as he nonchalantly continued his conversation while eating.

The female participant wore a flashy dress dyed in a deep red colour that revealed a decent amount of her extremely pale skin.

"Is it really fine not doing something about her? And about those priests, do you think it will work out?"

"Only time will answer that, honestly I don't think that plan would fail until someone from inside betrays them. And for the plan I want you to release the defects we have accumulated soon."

"There would be risks about doing this in the open and especially after those two failed to kill Roald and died announcing about you."

"It's within my expectations and we will use that man's help, currently I don't have much luxury to move much so that's the best I can hope for now."

Saying these words, he elegantly wipes his mouth and starts to leave.

She looks at him with concern at the direction their talk had gone. She felt disappointed and sighs for her error, her words had led to ruining of the atmosphere.

"I'll take my leave then."

Not knowing whether he was displeased because of the conversation she brought up, she asks in a rather desperate tone.

"But when will you return?"

"I... will be busy. Don't mind me too much, I'll contact you again after a month, if something really does happen before then, I will come rushing here."

His words were gentle and filled with kindness but anybody who knew the person speaking those words would realise that they were fancy words decorated in speech which were hollow on the inside without any trace of feelings.

She lowers her head also knowing that.

"I'll execute the orders as soon as I can..."

Saying that both of them got up from their seats. Seeing her concerned face he leaned in towards her direction and after a gentle embrace followed by a quick peck on her lips, he walked away without ever looking back.

The woman stood there as she saw his back slowly getting smaller and smaller as the time continued to pass with a hint of lingering sadness in her mind.

And as soon as the man completely vanished from her sight, the eerie lights started to diminish from a distance while the female participant slowly faded into nothingness. The spectacle felt as if the abyss swallowed her followed by the absolute darkness.

( 2 / 5 / 2021 ) The wheel of fate makes another turn towards its inevitable destination, soon the great incident is about to unfold that would shake the whole country leading to the chaos that would devour the entire world.
