"Thanks, Erika"
"What for?"
"For taking me to the fine star restaurant"
Erika gave a small smile, "it's nothing Maria, now... Where do you want to go?"
Maria smiled, but asked. "Do you really know Supreme?"
"Not really, but, he said we will talk" Erika replied in a low voice.
Maria surely noticed her sister's behavior. 'Did she...?' She smiled brightly, and asked again.
"Do you have his contact?"
"Huh?"
"Don't tell me you didn't ask?" Maria eyes flashed with surprise, as she looked upward to her sister.
"Should I?"
"Come on, Erika. this is why I said you should socialize more" Maria was a little annoyed by her sister's way of living.
Erika was silent for a while, then nodded. "We will meet in the game"
Maria was used with her sister's short words, and just nodded.
"Where are we going?" Erika asked again.
"Let's go home, we need to use our life times wisely."
Erika groaned hearing her sister, and crouched in front of her. "Come on Maria, I can earn life times for us. So please... can we enjoy the day?"
Maria chuckled, and nodded calmly. "Ok, but only for a short while."
Erika nodded, stood up, and starting pushing her sister's wheelchair. 'Don't worry Maria, I will make sure you enjoy everything you missed.'

NIGHT TIME
"Brother, your foods are always delicious" Mira said with a smile, placing down her spoon.
"Ok Mira, it's time for bed" Michael smiled, cleaning up the dinning table.
"Ok doki, I will be in my room" she stood up with her plate, and dropped it in the sink. Then ran to her bedroom.
Michael smiled, and started washing the plates. 'Thank goodness, Mira and I came back before the cops searched the room. Unless...?' Michael rinsed the plate, and placed it on the shaft, and continue the process.
[Some moment later]
Michael sat calmly on the dinning table, staring at the gun placed on the table. 'It's time'
He stood up with the gun and walked towards his sister's room. Michael quietly looked inside. Seeing his sister asleep. He nodded and slowly locked the door.
"Time for payback" he covered his head with his black jacket hood, and walked out of the apartment. Making sure to lock the newly repaired door.

[Shadow Assassins' guild.]
"Why did the guild master called us here?"
A blonde hair lady asked her fellow member. "Don't know, it looks like he wants to make an announcement" the man answered calmly. He was sitting beside her with arms folded.
"Are we going on a guild war?" Another young man, looking around his mid-twenty asked. The other guild members turned to him with a frown.
The blonde hair lady opened her mouth. A snarl on her face.
"Guild Wars? We are trying to hold our current ranking, and you are here talking about a guild war. I hope you know our guild is not even top 200th. So if you don't have anything to say, shut up!"
The young man shrunk inside his seat hearing the lady's words. This lady was one of their highest level player, A LV 20 player, she was currently a bronze medal 3-Star player, one step to enter the silver medal. While him... just a LV 5 player, in the bronze medal 1-star.
"Calm down, Ro. let just wait for him" the man said calmly, relieving the awkward moment.
"Fine" Ro just folded her arms on her chest, and waited.

"Hello everyone, sorry for calling you so late. But we have an issue at hand." The guild master. The same man who sent Atel to assassinate Michael said, walking inside the hall.
He was a middle-aged man with black hair, sword-like eyebrows, dark blue eyes, and sharp jawline. He was slightly muscular and standing 6'7 tall.
The guild members were all gathered in the building hall. Where the guild always held meetings or chose games to play as a team.
But now... all the members were currently confused, wondering why their leader called them this late.
"What issue?" The man sitting beside Ro asked. He was the only one who had the courage to ask. Because this man was the second strongest after the guild master. He was also his Vice.
"It's about Atel" the guild master replied, causing everyone to frown.
"What happened to Atel?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen him for a while now"
"Is something wrong?"
"Let wait and see"
Countless members started murmuring, after hearing their leader's word, waiting for him to continue.
"What about Atel? Did something happened to him?" The same man asked.
The leader let out a long sighed, and revealed: "well... one of our client brought a job offer, and I asked Atel to complete it"
"A job offer? Why are you telling us now?" The man asked with a frown. His gaze fixed at the leader.
"I don't have to tell you guys everything, and remember; you are just my Vice, mind how you speak to me"
The man's face darkened, but he lowered his hand and let out a fake smile. "You are right, my wrong"
"Good"
Tension filled the air. As the two men stared at each, the members look at each other, totally speechless, waiting for the grim future.
"Ok..., calm down you two, please tell us what happened to Atel" luckily, Ro finally decided to stop the two, before a fight break out.
"Thanks, Ro" the guild master said with a nod. And continued:
"As I was saying, I sent him on a quest, but I received news some hours ago that he was found dead in Blackwater neighborhood."
"Blackwater neighborhood?"
"That place is one of the rundown areas, the baddest"
"Why would he send one of our best player to a neighborhood like Blackwater?"
"I heard that place is run by crooks and thugs. And their leader is the master of the skull guild."
"Yes, I heard that two, I also heard the skull guild are every dangerous, even more than us."
"Poor Atel."
Everyone started murmuring again. While Ro and the deputy frowned tightly hearing the leader's words.
"Calm down everyone, the job is kind of easy, I didn't send him to attack any members from the skull guild, I only sent him to kill a weak guy. Nothing else."
"Weak guy? Are you sure about that? Sorry for sounding rude, but Atel is one of the strongest among us. How can he be taken down by a weak guy, or... did you not gain enough information about this person?" The Vice asked.
"Yes, and with all the information gotten, it showed that he is a weak and useless guy." The leader said.
"That is harsh" Michael muttered, as he stood on the roof of the building, watching all the members inside.
"Time to get busy"
