Chapter 384 - 382: Their Favorite Game

Mr. Alinsky looked at Asia who was looking at the screen attentively. He suddenly got curious and leaned forward to whisper at her, "Do you think Frederick will be able to solve this?"

"I don't know. I'm not in the game to determine it myself." Asia honestly answered him. She was fifty-fifty when it comes to Frederick's survival.

"Good point. Well, I'm quiet impressed with these games. Tell me, did these kind of games happened before?"

"No. Nothing like this happened. Before, when you said conference or summit, it's more on gatherings and a little games to showcase our strengths. Or to showcase each faction's strengths.

Our ranks was evaluated by a committee of people and was solely based on the number of missions we took and the number of lives we took.

"I see. So this is something new?"

"Yeah. Maybe they started this after we were dethroned from the leadership post. And our faction was annhilated."

Mr. Alinsky decided to be quiet after hearing a bit of bitterness from her words.

Asia then looked at Francais who was in a bad mood since the game started.

He then got up from his seat and as soon as he did, the guards approached him and asked him to remain on his seat.

"No. I want to go to the toilet. Do you want to come with me?"

"Oh. Be sure to be back. Or we will look for you after ten minutes. It's strictly not allowed to leave the seats until the first game is over."

"I know. You don't have to remind me of that." He angrily said and walked out.

He didn't go to the toilet go. He went to look for President Williams.

He wanted to confront him about this. He tried calling him but he didn't pick up the phone. And so he had no other choice but to look for him by himself.

Meanwhile, Asia felt her phone buzzing. And so, she grabbed it from her pocket and answered the call without looking at the name of the caller.

"Hello?"

"Okay. Stay there and wait for my call." Asia then dropped the call. Mr. Alinsky suddenly became curious to know who called and so, he asked her. "Who was it, Eunji?"

"Oh. A friend Grandpa."

"Do I know him?"

"Hmm, no. But I'll introduce you to each other soon."

Then Asia got up and she excused herself to go to the toilet.

Meanwhile, Francais still could not find President Williams but found the guard who was watching the latter's room last night.

He approached him immediately and without beating around the bush, he asked, "Where's your President? Bring me to him."

"I'm sorry but the President strictly told us to not disturb him over such trivial matters while the games are on going."

"What?! This is not a trivial matter. This is an emergency! Tell him that I want to see him now!" Francais angrily yelled at him.

But instead of taking him seriously, the guard grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall.

"This is not your territory to order us around, Mr. Monet. You don't pay me!" He coldly said. This guard clearly had enough of Francais' bossy character.

If this guard really wanted to kill him, he could. After all, he was not allowed to bring his private men inside. Only Mr. Alinsky's security escorts were allowed inside the stadium. His men were left behind on the accommodation building.

"How dare you! It's about money right? Then, I'll pay you $2 Million to bring me to him. Now!" Francais was really full of himself and tried to bribe him.

"Well, sir! You can eat that money. I won't dare disobey President Williams." The guard then dropped his hold on his collar, turned around and left him alone and furious in the hallway.

When the guard made a turn, he then tapped his earpiece and talked to the person listening to him.

"Mistress. Just like what you have told me, Francais is now looking for President Williams."

The person he was talking to was actually the fifth ranked mercenary in the world.

"Good. Keep going. Continue following him. Make sure that he won't be able to meet President Williams."

"Okay Mistress!"

The way he addressed her was familiar, right?

"Thank you Eagle. Take care of your movements, these people were no ordinary. It's now the perfect time to put your special trainings into actual use."

"Don't worry Mistress. We'll be careful. And we won't let you down."

Eunji who was on hiding in one of the cubicles in the ladies' room ended the call.

She then heard a knock on the cubicle and when she opened it, she was greeted by Asia.

"Annyeonghaseyo!" Asia greeted the still masked Eunji.

Eunji then removed her mask and called her name in recognition, "Asia-unnie."

The two looked at each other and Eve suddenly grabbed Asia inside the cubicle as soon as she heard an incoming batch of footsteps coming towards the ladies' room.

Asia had forgotten to lock the door when she came in. And they were sure these ladies were heading on their way.

Eunji then stepped on the toilet and asked Asia to lock the cubicle before the first soul actually got in.

They heard the girls talking to each other. Some of them were talking about their personal opinion about the game's rules.

"Hey. I heard that the assassin who have a code name- Asia is actually alive and she's the granddaughter of Mr. Alinsky."

"What? Really. She's that beautiful lady beside that old man?"

"Yeah."

"Oh! Well, I guess she won't be alive too soon. After all, she had a lot of laser beams pointing at her."

"Yeah, right. I just hope that those who wrote down her names would lose and would choose to save their lives over her."

"Right! I hated her nine years ago and that hate never left my heart. I swear! She's the first person I wanted to die here!"

"Wait, is she really that bad for the both of you to hate her?"

"She killed my father. So I'll never forgive her." The first girl said.

"Right. If she survives this first game, then, I will do everything in my power to kill her now. She won't leave this stadium alive!" The second one added.

Asia felt mad while listening to their conversation but Eunji was able to stop her from going out to confront them.

Asia wanted to get out to see their faces and then to slap them.

Eunji on the other hand knew that if she'd confront them over such matters, everything they had sacrificed so far would be put into waste.

Eunji grabbed her hand to calm her down.

As soon as those girls left, Asia went out of the cubicle and went immediately to the sink and opened every faucet on the sink and let the running water to mask their conversation.

On the other hand, Eunji wore her ghost mask again and double checked the 'OUT OF ORDER' sign she posted on the door.

It was blown away by the wind that's why those ladies were able to enter and not look for another toilet.

After she fixed it, she went back inside and this time, she flicked the lock and locked the whole room.

Eunji then approached Asia who was folding her palm into a tight fist.

"Calm down." Eunji said in her calm voice as she wanted to chanel her calmness to Asia.

"Tell me Eve! How should I calm down when all of them are cursing me to death!" Asia was really frustrated.

"Hey! Remember why you're doing this." Eunji was really trying to help her calm down.

"I know!" Asia mumbled.

To calm her down, Eunji suddenly hugged her. And she was glad that Asia hugged her back in response.

"I'm glad that you're actually fine and didn't suspect you after that night. How have you been? I'm sorry if I wasn't able to approach you last night." Eunji asked her.

"Stop the drama, okay? I'm fine. But I'm glad that you're actually fine. After all, I did attack you pretty badly."

Eunji removed herself from the hug to look at Asia. "Well, yeah. It took me two to three days to recover. In fact, I still have some underneath my clothes."

"Well, you hurt me pretty badly, too. Unlike you, some of my wounds were deep and it took me time to heal them all. Just like you, I have a few wounds underneath my clothes and I have to act as if they don't exist. And I guess I deserved the beating I have received from you that night for me to realize my mistakes."

"Let's not talk about it, okay? We promised to never have any misunderstandings again, right?"

They did agreed to move on from the past after they had fixed their misunderstandings that night. They had apologized to each other and accepted each other's apology. And it happened when they could barely even moved.

"You better go back now or they'd start looking for you inside." Eunji reminded her. Not all of the people manning this event were her people.

"How about you? Aren't they going to look for you?"

"Don't worry about me. They're not fond of me so they won't look for me. And I have some alibis. I'm the developer so, I have to leave the control room from time to time to go to the building where the players are sleeping inside the capsule."

"I see. I love the game though. It brings back memories." Asia didn't forget to compliment her sister's game.

"Well. Thank you. I made sure to make this as the first game because this one is your favorite, right?" Eunji smiled at her sister.

"Yes. And I'm happy that you actually remembered about this."

"Why should I not remember this? After all, this one is my favorite, too."
