Chapter 592 Men In Black
Chapter 592 Men In Black
Tick-Tock
Tick-Tock
Time was slowly closing in on both sides, and many people didn't like it one bit. Back in Cygypt, 2 men in black suits and dark glasses, now stood before the sandy tomb, their faces so solemn it could crack at any given time.
It was odd to say that the desert sun was scorching hot, enough to cause anyone to sweat buckets. Yet here they were, standing without a drop of sweat or precipitation on their faces.
They were the MEN IN BLACK. They had suits and dark shades, signature to their looks.
The MEN in Black were the names many around the world gave them, since they were always spotted with suits no matter where they went. They were, of curse, the guards under the Vardos Vice-President's pay.
The world has never seen them in anything else. Even paparazzi couldn't get pictures of them in regular clothing or even nightwear.
Hell… if people didn't know better, they would have felt that these people also slept with their suits on too.
The lead man in black One slowly puffed out a whiff of smoke from his cigarette, standing lazily while watching the smoke disperse.
BAM!
A single high-leg stomp caused the surrounding sands to fly high, revealing the tomb's entrance below. And with a simple whisper and touches, the door opened.
1, 2, 3….
They waltzed in as though they were out on a tour. But make no mistake, their faces spoke of the seriousness of the matter at hand.
45 minutes later, they regrouped. Only, their faces were no longer expressionless but filled with veins all over their foreheads… And if one looks a little closer, they will also be able to see a fleeting hint of fear in their eyes.
Dammit! What do they do now?
Now, standing outside the tomb underneath the scorching sun, several people wished to destroy the world right now.
The leader slowly took out his phone and made a call he now dreaded dearly. And the speaker on the other end, his leader and master, now made his Gollum body shiver underneath his human skin mask.
"Master, if given more time, I'm confident we will be able to find him for you…"
[Time?...]
The voice on the other end spoke unhurriedly, however, they could already feel his wrath threatening to spew out.
[We only have less than a year before the storm, and you dare to ask for more time?... HEH-HEH-HEH-HEH~]
Incredible!
They were brought to their knees just from the aura emitting through the phone. Their master was quite a cruel one, and they of all people knew just how brutal his punishments were once he confirmed their mission was a failure.
Thinking of the last time they were met with his wrath sent quivers down their spines on such a hot, scorching day. "Master-"
[Silence… No more excuses. No matter how long and how hard a rat tries to hide, it will inevitably be backed into a corner once its world is completely searched.]
In other words, the runaway Horseman can hide for now, but when the final days come after their victory over the humans, where else will there be for it to hide anymore?
There will be a time when even nook and cranny in this world will be under their command. By that time, that darn horseman will surely pay!
But for now, they only have less than 1 year before the war, and cannot keep stalling the other matters in search of the missing horseman. The men in black listened in silence, to their master's long fingernails tapping along his table. The silence was all they could hear, apart from the constant, rhythmic tapping noises. And then, their master finally spoke– [Return to Vardos… in 3 weeks, the 2nd Horseman will emerge.]
That's right, the horseman will emerge in Vardos, right under their noses. So this time, they should be no more fuck ups! Several people gave each other tactful stares, before adjusting their black ties on their necks and vanishing into the vast desert in a twinkle of an eye. Vardos… They must return to Vardos and prepare for the second coming. But what horseman would it be this time? Of course, it was the Horseman of WAR!
Like so, with the war fast approaching, things around the world also changed inevitably. …
–Tian Company Headquarters–
.
Today, Chan-ki and Haru were busy signing and rewriting multiple documents with ease. After Dorian successfully took back his company, he quickly ironed things out, clearing all obstacles in his path. The world was shocked by his comeback. How could someone they proclaimed worthless and desolate now appear before them again, with even more zeal than before? Sure enough, a tiger doesn't birth a rat. They should have known that even though his uncle succeeded in kicking him out, this young man was also not one to be trifled with. Can't you see how fast he was able to make a comeback, while getting the support of the Gias, Ghus, Bhos, House and other families? Never in their lives have they seen so many families unanimously stand behind someone so much. So what was the secret? They've tried to send out spies to find out what secrets the boy has to be able to blackmail so many people to his side, but nothing comes up. In fact, at this point, was it even blackmail? Could there be another reason why everyone was standing behind this boy? Could it be because of his parents, who were still in a coma? Try as they might, many businessmen and women couldn't come up with any tangible reason. All they were told by their good friends was to never cross the Tian Boy. It just made no sense! How could 1 person control so many people all at once? What was even more incredulous was that the Tian Boy actually gave his bodyguards full control of his company. The Tian Boy only came to his company once or twice every 2 months, while his subordinates ran things smoothly. At first, many tried bribing his subordinates and even tried getting them to betray their master and get the many Tian companies for themselves. But it was like throwing water on a duck's back. These subordinates showed no signs of greed and even looked at them as though they were mentally retarded. …. Hello?... Who can tell them what was going on here? No joke, they would be willing to pay millions to know why so many people were incredibly loyal to the Tian Boy.
