Chapter 75- I Am The Black Phantom (Part 1)

The atmosphere grew even heavier as if some weight had been added to it. A normal person would\'ve lost consciousness from the sheer intensity of the situation. The Executioners stared at Kaya and the other two, ready to move if anything happened.

V, however, kept a rather calm tone even when he was probably the most annoyed by this sudden change.

"He is Blacklisted and should be eliminated. Please mind your own business and leave." He said in a polite yet threatening tone.

However, Kaya simply smiled coldly.

"You lot from the Guild love to think that you\'re the center of the world. I must say, delusion is the mother of all mistakes. I said he is under my protection and so you can\'t touch him. Unless you want to turn this place into a bloody battlefield. Well, not that I mind that outcome." A dangerous look had suddenly crept into Kaya\'s eyes as she licked her lips.

V\'s face turned even grimmer as he glared at Kaya. He heard rumors about Kaya Bladeheart and her ruthless methods. She was a battle maniac with a desire for blood like no other person. So, when she said she would be glad to turn this into a bloody war, she meant every word of it.

\'Tsk, this isn\'t optimal. But, I can\'t risk ruining the mission when Eva Lavine is within our grasp.\' Shaking his head, V said.

"Step forward, Eva Lavine." He said.

The latter silently complied and when she was close enough to V, he pulled out thick handcuffs and put them on her hand. The shackles were made out of Leviathium so they could stop any Origin user from using their powers.

Staring coldly at the heavy shackles, Eva turned around and looked at the cat mascot.

After that, she sighed.

"Let\'s go."

At that moment, a limousine arrived at the location and the door automatically opened. Then, the group got inside before the door closed and it stormed off.

The cat mascot and Kaya watched it silently until it disappeared before the archangel finally turned to look at the mascot.

"Sending me a message from an encrypted number. I heard that your skills in Origin Hacking are second to none. Well, either way, it\'s an honor to meet you, Black Phantom." Kaya said.

Although her tone was casual, inside her head, a huge dilemma was occurring. She had a suspicion as to who that person was and that suspicion was killing her. She was almost certain that the person behind that mask was someone she knew. No, she didn\'t just know him, he was also the love of her life.

Her suspicion started when she noticed the relationship between Eva and Kai. It just didn\'t make sense why someone as influential as Eva would take an interest in Kai who was merely an ordinary boy. The second thing was the fact that Kaya wasn\'t able to find Kai in the school no matter how much she searched for him.

Knowing her beloved, he must\'ve chosen a very lackluster role in the festival and so there weren\'t many things he could be possibly doing. Being a cat mascot was sadly one of those possibilities.

"Tell me the truth… Are you Kai?" She asked with a hesitant tone. Her heart was beating loudly in her chest. She had never felt this nervous before in her life. It was as if she just realized that her whole life was a lie. How can she react to it? What should she say if it was indeed Kai? She had no idea.

It was all too chaotic that her mind refused to think properly.

As she was having such conflicting thoughts, the cat mascot suddenly lifted its arms and pulled the mask up, revealing the face under it.

Kaya\'s eyes widened to the extreme as she looked at the person behind the mask. Her mouth opened and closed like a bird.

"What…"

Meanwhile, the limousine raced through the streets till it reached a skyscraper in the capital of D-country. This building was mainly that of a very renowned sports cars manufacturer.

Getting out, the group carried Eva inside. Since she was complying with them, the Executioners treated her fairly and respectfully.

"Welcome to Dawn. How can I help you?"

Reaching the reception desk and seeing the situation, the receptionist immediately clicked a button under the desk before she smiled.

"Have a nice evening, gentlemen." Her tone had a hint of mystery behind it.

After that, the group walked to the backdoor and entered inside. Walking through the corridors they reached an investigation room. It was similar to those rooms found in police departments albeit dimmer and more sinister.

In the middle of it was a Liviathium table and chair that were fused with the ground and countless shackles that linked to them.

If an Origin user was to get shackled to that table and chair, they won\'t be able to even rub their nose let alone escape.

After that, they strapped Eva silently and pulled away. Then, they walked to each corner of the room.

"What is the reason for this?" Eva finally asked with a cold tone as she looked around.

"Don\'t ask questions, please," V replied.

"So, I\'m supposed to just accept this? I need at least some explanation."

"Orders, Agent 74. Capturing you are orders that came from the High officers and we had no hand in them. We are simply doing our job."

"Then, what is going to happen to me?"

"That isn\'t something within our knowledge. However, one of the High officers is on his way. If he has any intentions to tell you, then you will know from him."

"..." Eva nodded her head before she closed her eyes and didn\'t say anything else.

Time passed quietly inside the room until one hour later, the door to the room opened and a man came walking inside. He was probably in his thirties, short yet also slightly muscular. He had handsome features but also a sharp look. He wore a pair of glasses and a professional suit.

As he turned around and gave Eva a glance, he said in a calm tone.

"It\'s my pleasure to finally meet you, Agent 74. Although I would\'ve preferred a better situation for our first meeting. But, work is work."

"Who are you?" Eva asked coldly.

"It\'s not that important right now. Let\'s get to our main topic now since I don\'t have much time." Saying that, the man looked at the chair before he patted the seat to get rid of any dust and then sat down elegantly.

"I\'m sure you have many questions. Since we are doing something against our values as the Hitman Guild, I shall grant you permission to know the truth. It won\'t matter either way."

"..." Squinting her eyes, Eva nodded her head.

"Then, why am I being targeted by the guild?"

Adjusting his glasses, the man replied. "You have something that we want, Agent 74. Something far more important than you could ever fathom."

"...?"

"While you do not have the right to know what this thing is. I shall give you a hint. It\'s related to your main talent. Your Blade Talent is a very strong ability. It has a bottomless potential that if dug out, we might be able to uncover things that could change this very world we live in. We have been searching for this talent for decades. At some point, we even believed that it might simply be a myth." His tone grew heavier the more he spoke. "However, for better or worse, this talent was acquired by none other than you, Agent 74. You are quite talented, I will give you that. But, sadly, you aren\'t talented enough to be able to unlock the full potential of your talent. In fact, you are far from that."

"So, you want to get my talent?" She asked.

"\'Extract\' is the right word. You don\'t need to worry, though. It won\'t be a painful death. We will make sure you won\'t feel a thing since you have served the Guild for so many years. Your name will also be itched in the Guild\'s Hall of Fame for your contributions."

Silence took over the place as everyone stared at Eva, expecting any possible reaction from her. The man was basically saying \'You worked for us and now we will kill so that we can benefit even more.\'. It was an absurd request that will make anyone enraged.

However, Eva didn\'t do anything of that sort.

In fact, her casual posture as she sat on the chair made everyone slightly confused.

"I see… So that\'s what this is all about?"
