Chapter 11 - Chapter XI - All for this

Everyone stared at each other. In deep thoughts, some despised one another, others were just worried and lost. Kato was worried.

". Imagine the whole world wanting to destroy a single person.". Kato laughed in pain. Ofcourse, no one would advance towards an enemy unless they are certain of their victory. That's exactly how the nations of this planet play their game. Right now, for their movement. They are sure of their victory. He has to hide. Especially with Yonikaharu involved. To many haters in the game.

". Damn, ". Was all Vana could say. She could understand his statement. Finally able to see the blue skies again, but the world won't let him. You have the ability, but you can't. Damn, restrictions. It really is something that witholds happiness. They already have a means to restrain him, If not extinguish him.

". So, Kato just happened to appear on that phone stuff, and now he's deemed a threat. The people that watched this, what happened to them?. They are watching trafficked people right?.". Vana asked Lanel. Lanel seemed tired, wiping her nose, she turned to Vana.

". Those guests in the hall, who do you think they are?.". She asked.

". Elites.". Vana replied. Lanel adjusted herself on the seat to face Vana.

". Then you are supposed to know why they aren't held for being here.". Lanel said, smacking her lips. Kato's resounding laugh made both of them turn towards him.

". It all still boils down to corruption.". Kato chuckled. These powerful people all had dirty secrets, infact some one in power is right next to him. She was the one that knew about this place and brought him here. This was her dirty secret.

". If there aren't any elites, then ...". Kato looked at Lanel, suddenly turning serious.

". Gustav would be put out of business.". He stared at her blankly. Lanel nodded, grasping the info he was passing across.

". But still we can't act rashly,.". Vana leaned forward. ". There are too many unknowns.". She sighed.

". So someone managed to get Kato's image, and....". Vana sighed again. It was all just too much. She couldn't even think properly. But the words she heard deeply annoyed her.

". I never imagined you as a smart lady.". Mistress Kira smiled at her. Vana knew what she was doing. Damn it, this was another unknown. Kato's mistress is too damn powerful that one has to act diligently. Then she suddenly shivered at her realization. She glanced at Kato, who was still blank.

". Kato,..." She called his name. He turned to her.

". If your mistress is this strong, and she is the head of the bureau of Japan.". She gulped. The lady turned, keen on Vana's next words.

". What about the world.?.". She remembered him, the person she dread the most. She never wanted to see him again, ever. Kato looked at her. He wasn't so sure himself now in his regen, afterall he can't control it. Sometimes, he won't regenerate quickly, other times he would. It really put him on a stand still now. His body has an increasing demand to eat anything plus his lack of supernatural power.

". You are still head of bureau?.". Kato asked his mistress. She instantly turned to him.

". Yes, I am.". She replied.

". What happens to people who do not associate in this type of meetings?.". He asked. She instantly frowned, perhaps she didn't like remembering it.

". You never asked me what happened to me?. Or about how I lost my eye?.". Her tone deepened.

". You never asked me why I died.?. Why I look like a zombie?. Why my scars are breathing.?". He raised his left brow, using his hands he removed the strands of hair on his face. The mistress stared at him, and he did same. For some minutes, awkward silence enveloped everyone in the room.

". They cease to exist. ". She was enraged, and her emotions were expressed in her voice.

". Every single elite who is on the path of honesty...". Her eye was half closed.". Should expect their death.". Her face was stern. It really did mean alot to her, if Kato showed concern for her. But here he was, acting all Gangstar. She was the one that brought him here ofcourse, and she does expect him to change after all these years. But not this much. She glanced over to Vana, whom was also staring at her. It's this shit that caused this, yeah. She concluded on it.

". You are literally explaining yourself then.". Vana stated. She wore no expression on her face, still just staring blankly at his mistress. She was gorgeous alright, and every bit of exuded grace and elegance, just like him. The person she feared holds a high position.

". That's why she can hide us, ". Kato's voice was dampened. His face revealed the state he was in. He was planning something, something had to be done. Vana knew what he was, how he manipulated the former veteran leader, Brody, to his death. He had the nature of the person that trained him. She liked his nature but not hers. Both of them, were two evils in a room.

Kato still pondered, the matter at hand right now was serious. No kingdom goes to war if they aren't certain of their victory. But another can arise too, the two opposite sides try so damn hard to keep their cards hidden. That's the problem, this is a special fact that leads to problem in wars. New circumstances and hinderance occurs, which has the ability to turn a side's victory to loss. When team blue shows it trump card, while keeping in mind to sabotage team red's unknown trump cards before team red can retaliate with their hidden cards, team blue wins. In any situation, it's the case of making your enemy surrender.

Applying this in this situation, there are too many unknowns. The fact that they are moving, ready for their target without the world knowing where their target will emerge means preparations are in place. He trusts his mistress alright, but not the ones around her. And if Vana sees that person, his loss would be greater. She is completely frozen anytime he is remembered. Such a fearsome figure to make his martial Queen fall. He can't rely on his regen. Though powerful, he doesn't even understand it himself. Japan won't deploy their gifteds and ungifteds unless necessary.

From his observations, Lanel is a mage just like his mistress. But Lanel specializes in space-time and attack, while his mistress is telekinesis and psychokinesis. Just like the Lady miyako that took his sister away from him.

His sister, ... Damn it. That was another stupid anomaly.

". In the worst case we need to be prepared.". Kato leaned back on his chair. He turned to Lanel.

". I trust this room has been sealed of , the congregation right?.". He asked. Lanel nodded. From the moment they stepped in here, it has been sealed off. Lanel's power was amazing. Gustav really has people underneath him. Looking into him, he really is a status in the underground. No wonder elites patromize him. He's their source for all their dirty deeds.

". We need a count of the number of divine supernaturals in the world. ". He cast a sideways glance to both Lanel and his mistress.

". They are the biggest threats to us right now.". He massaged his eye bags. Yeah, they are permanent. Far too black to fade away, with his breathing scars on his face and body.

Gifteds and ungifteds are known generally as Divine Supernaturals. As the name implies, they are different from the rest of the supernaturals in the world. Gifteds having access to every ability possible, be it reincarnation, magic, martial arts, transmigration, one on one consultation with gods...far too many. They are like gods on earth. But all these don't just unlock at birth, they unlock little by little as belief and faith is required, because it's the gods that give the powers to you. So it's like have potential to be that thing, but you can't immediately. It needs growth. And ungifteds are another worst side of the coin. These class of supernaturals are hard to deal with. Superpowers don't work on them at all, at the same time they can't utilize superpowers. This happens because of a red lotus located in their abdomen. This is responsible for transferring any superpower absorbed by the body into health. Thereby making them age slowly. Such overpowered people. So they are , pristinely ungifteds. No power in all of creation can harm them, but their weakness is physical attacks. That's why many of them learn physical fighting skills and defences. This ability is what made ungifteds and gifteds very rare. Though, ungifteds are much more epic, considering the fact that they only appear in twins. One a gifted, the other an ungifted. Well, that's what he was supposed to be, since he's a twin but that damn dog murdered his lotus with a technique. Yes, that's it. The gods... They too are supporting this war. What annoyed him the most, was... Why the heck are the gods not getting rid of the people responsible for evil. What is their reason, and yet when a human decides to get rid of that evil by himself. They are judged unjust and condemned. So that means the gods too are corrupt. Evidence, this was his evidence for him that this enemy he had and wants to get rid of is seeping into many existences, having many backers to cover itself. Damn....

". Kato.!". Vana's scolding jolted Kato back to reality. He had literally forgot he was still here, while he journeyed on with his mind. He got the secret, though unclear of his plan and how to actually survive this.

". We need to know, where and how to contact the Forsaken.". Kato looked at all three of them.

". Forsakens, usually show up once in a while for strategic things that are needed by their organisation.". Lanel said, massaging her shoulders. She took up a wipe from the box beside her, began wiping the dried blood of her skin.

". If they want to further expand their base and draw more people to their objective, then initiations are needed.". Vana proposed a very useful piece of info.

". Yes, and they only initiate at a full moon. Since the power of the moon opens Hades relic.". Mistress Kira smacked her lips, pushing some of her hair backwards with her hands.

". Hades relic?.". Kato asked. Another unknown. Yes, but now he has a way to tackle it.

". A relic of ancient times, though not written in history but was stumbled across during ace excavations empowered by the Greek team, Clio. Empowered by the goddess, Zeus and Clio.". Lanel relaxed on her black armed chair. A little too comfy, she thought.

". A relic shaped like the blade of a scythe, thought to be Hades first weapon.". Lanel turned to Kato.

". It's full power is experienced in the moon light.". She ended her speech, closing her eyes and sitting back in her elegant position.

Crazy how, the person he saw wearing sports bra with jagged red hair, was actually sitting in grace.

". Hmm, hard to tackle. But what's with the fact that it's needed for initiation?.". Vana looked more curious.

". We still don't know yet, as the offenders caught by us last time where forced to explode before they revealed the info.". Mistress Kira chopped in with her now dampened tone.

". Unless it's Hades that's leading the Forsaken.". Vana looked at the Lady Kira, still annoyed. Lady Kira caught her stare and smiled simply.

". That's the thing dear, it's not Hades at all.". She fixed her gaze on her.

". So, who is it then?. ". He asked.

". It's unknown.". Lanel replied. He nodded simply, because he had another reason to get on with this plan. Planning to kill someone upon arrival. He thought about some stuff, he did think about the probability of Gustav selling out his info. Which is possible, but there is a reason why he won't ask that. After all, it's the same reason why the high class are the high class. Not all things are meant to be ask or said, some things are better kept concealed. And once again, that was another issue. The desperation to conceal, cause one to involve in dark acts. After all, desperate times call for desperate measures. What causes desperation, procastination. Though he still hadn't the slightest idea how procastination was getting into the picture but he was sure he getting somewhere.

". It doesn't matter, as it would be found out anyway.". Kato spoke up.

". Listen, the fact I have already been identified as one of those stuffs, mean I need to act like one.". He looked at his mistress.

". Here's the strategy,". He relaxed more on his chair.

". A continent level threat needs continent level measures to prevent it. I can't hurriedly show myself out, as there are much I don't know about the outside world.". His voice was domineering now.

". First step to take, is to always overestimate the enemy. Now, an assumption is this.... Mistress Kira here..". He pointed towards her.

". Since she has managed to obtain this position, has done dirty deeds. Now, the agency this dirty deeds have been done for, must have had some way to curtail her and make sure she doesn't falter or betray.". He released a very overlooked point right here. Lanel was forced to nod. She never even thought about it.

". There still is a way to curtail me, but even I don't know what it is.". Lady Kira sighed. The biggest threat to this plan now, is if a tracking talisman or device is in her. She took something that were both edible and inedible the first time she worked for Lady Miyako many years ago. Even before Kato's abduction. She had to, since she was going to be Lady Miyako's personal assistant and all P.A's must be trusted. So that was a means.

". Assuming, my mistress here is being tracked right now by some of her colleagues in rival bureaus. My location though unknown, can still be monitored if I'm with her.". Kato said, now leaning away from his chair. Still sitting, he touched his toes.

". This is another open window to this plan,. One, they might be aware or have assumed that Mistress Kira here, is somehow related to me, and might have told me the problem at hand and what she carries in her right now. And this is all part of their plan to separate us.

Two, If they know about my relation with my mistress, then they would assume I need her social standing and supernatural abilities by my side for protection. Which means no separation. This is also part of their plan.". He removed his hands from his toes.

". Following the first choice, the only open info sources that know about my relation and state of existence to lady Kira is Lady Miyako and...". He gazed at Lanel. It was time to ask it, he needs to ask the question. Their conversation was ripe

". Gustav.".
