"Why do you want such a stupid announcement? Don't be foolish. If people came to know each other's identities, they would kill their enemies." The old man said, immediately rejecting the man's idea.
"I like a girl." The man replied carelessly.
"Are you serious?" The old man asked, a smile visible on his face.
"Yeah. But I haven't seen her real face." The man replied.
"Then how did you start liking her?" The old man asked curiously.
"Her eyes. Her Hazel eyes just made my heart skip a beat. And I know she was wearing lenses. I am dying to see her real self, her real appearance." The man said.
"Let me make the preparations for now. I will make the announcement tomorrow morning." The old man replied with assurance.
"Thank you!!" The man said with a bright smile, before leaving the mansion.
And early the next day, the announcement was made. People were shocked but excited for this new change.
To keep the audience from getting bored, various weapon exhibitions, fighting materials exhibitions, and other related stuff were organised. There were even some fight matches, though the rules were way too strict.
Kizy obviously pulled her group towards the weapon exhibition. There were many weapons limited to various regions. Kizy got to see the local weapons from Green triangle. Unfortunately they were not allowed to try or buy these weapons.
"Aaahh! What should I do? I want them all!!" Kizy exclaimed, not being able to keep her hands to herself.
All of them were once again wearing different face masks today.
"We should go watch other things. I heard there are fights as well." Rose said, her eyes shining.
She would only get to practice with Victor and Jason. She and Victor would spar on a daily basis and were on equal footing. They could fight for an entire day and still not declare a winner amongst them.
But things were different for Jason. He was better than both of them. Though he would fight with them twice a week. Because Jason had other tasks like planning their mission, checking whether Kizy was practicing well with weapons while Harry would try hacking different sites.
Thus fights would be the most attractive part for Rose.
Therefore the group of five was directed towards the fight arena.
Unknown to all of them, a lady was watching all of them since morning, keeping an eye on Kizy.
"She has left the weapon exhibition and will be going towards the fighting arena now." The lady reported via call.
"Anything which she particularly liked in the exhibition?" The man asked.
"MTs 108." The lady replied, something only a knowledgeable person could tell.
"Ask our men to send the gun in my room before the masquerade ball tonight." The man replied with a smile.
"Yes." The lady replied.
"Keep a watch on her. Don't let any mishap happen." He spoke and ended the call.
The lady ended her call before discreetly starting following the group.
The fight arena was lively, filled with screams and shouts, the wildest place present in the Green triangle at the moment.
Rose, Victor and Jason ended up learning a lot from these fights. Though none of the fighters were targeting fatal areas, they showed that any blow could be fatal, no matter where it landed.
All five of them returned back till the gates, content from today's activities. Now they were only waiting for the ball tonight, so that they could leave this place as soon as possible.
The moment they returned, a lady gave them masks for the ball tonight.
All of them chose their respective colors, matching the dresses they had prepared before Harry secretly scanned them all, checking if there was any bug.
Thankfully there was no such thing, making them relieved.
They collected their masks and went to their respective rooms. They had their lunch inside their rooms and once evening arrived they all dressed up, wearing the best of their clothes, so as not to remain too behind from others and be highlighted.
Kizy was wearing a white sleeveless gown, which was selected by Jason for her. She paired it with her white mask, while leaving her hair untied, obviously not wearing any skin mask as the rules said.
Rose wore a white dress as well, though she had chosen it on her own because she knew that Jason liked white color. But she had paired it with a golden mask, matching her golden heels.
She was doing her touch up when she received a call from Jason.
"We are ready and are leaving the room now. We will reach the gate in ten minutes. I'll call you, then you both can come there." Jason said.
"Okay." Rose replied and Jason ended the call.
"Second sister, Jason said that he will be here in ten minutes. Are you ready?" Rose said and turned to look towards Kizy, who was standing behind her, looking no less than an angel.
"Woah!! You look gorgeous." Rose complimented.
"Thank you first sister. And you look stunning today." Kizy said, sincerely praising Rose's looks.
Rose was truly good looking, but she looked mature and her beauty would fade a little when compared to Kizy.
Rose nodded before checking her look one last time and started waiting for the other three members.
Finally after twenty minutes, Kizy spoke up.
"I think you should call them. After all Jason is never the one to arrive later than decided time." Kizy said.
"Hmmm." Rose said and dialled him.
But nobody picked the call. Rose tried calling him multiple times, but to no avail. She even tried calling Victor and Harry who were not receiving it.
Kizy also tried calling all the three men, but none of them picked it up.
"Should we go till gates?" Rose asked.
"But Jason said that he'll call once he is there at the gates. Plus he warned us to not leave the building." Kizy said.
"But what if he or all three of them are in some trouble?" Rose asked, panicking a little.
"Then what should we do?" Kizy asked, not knowing how to solve this problem.
And Rose remembered that Jason had forbidden them to leave the gates of the female building on their own. He was concerned for Kizy's safety.
Thus even though Rose was there, Jason had warned her to not go with Kizy anywhere without them.
"I'll go and look for them alone." Rose said.
