Chapter 115 Talent

Their meeting room was just like any other room.

A long table was kept in the middle, where twelve people sat silently conversing with other. Each of the chairs had numbers engraved on them....till 12.

'Creak'

All sound died down as a woman entered the room, she wore a long black sleeve dress in which an image of a butterfly was embroidered, the design of the butterfly was peculiar as it's wings were broken.....yet the butterfly still struggled to fly.

As the woman takes her rightful place at the front of the table, all the others rise up to show respect to their one and only leader,

The Enchantress.

Half Moon was having their monthly meeting, where they discussed matters that required their attention.

" Thank you for making time to come to this meeting, I'm sure that you're all very busy...", The Enchantress finally began the meeting...just like she usually did.

Despite her polite tone, the people in the room.....the executives looked tense.

They all seemed to be strangely nervous, they listened to their leader but most of the executives were silently watching another member that sat at their table, ignoring their gazes.

Best

" What's on our agenda today, Ai ?", The Enchantress asked the person closest to her.

The boy had clear blue eyes that resembled the clear sky, his black hair was gleamingly smooth.

" Well....we have to discuss the talent a-", 'Ai' started to speak but got interrupted just as fast enough.

" Ahhhhh.....I can't take this, why the fuck is this guy still here ?", Walter Ivon asked pointing towards the man everyone was collectively observing.

" Shh....don't make a scene, Walt.", a woman whispered into his ear before he could say anything more.

The Enchantress heaves a sigh and said,

" I thought I made myself clear...he's an executive just like you now."

Walter rolled his eyes before retorting back,

" He's a comrade ?...we haven't even seen his face.....not even once !, how are we supposed to trust someone like that ?"

Some of the others nod their heads hearing Walter seemingly agreeing with him.

"Don't take that tone with me boy....if I say that he's an executive...he is one. It's not a matter of trust....it's an order."

Hearing the Enchantress, Walter scoffs but doesn't say anything else as he wasn't that crazy.

Understanding that the commotion was over, 'Ai' started reading their 'to-do' list out.

"----------------- Find more about 'Adam Creed'."

Hearing the last item on the agenda, the Enchantress frowned,

" Where are we on that ?", she asked rubbing her forehead, tired.

" Well....we haven't found anything that leads us to believe that he was the one that attacked us....except for that woman's testimony."

" We need concrete proof.....that woman is too unstable.", the enchantress muttered out, lost in her thoughts.

" We should kill him now.", the 'man' said staring at her through his mask, which hid his face from the others.

The new executive continued on making sure that he had the attention of the others,

" If it is indeed that boy, then it's best that we kill him as soon as possible, taking chances won't cut it.....we don't know what he's capable of...."

" No.....without concrete proof, we will do no such thing. They're just kids.", The enchantress said immediately rejecting his proposal.

Silence descended on the room....

" I think the masko is right.....we can always find out if he's threat by attacking him and if he is....then we'll just kill him.", Walter said surprisingly agreeing with the masked man.

Soon all the executives voice out their opinions, they were all somewhat similar to what the masked man said...seeing that 'Ai' hadn't spoken, the enchantress asked him,

" What do you think we should do.....son ?"

Ai thought for a minute before responding,

" I think we should just let him be for now, keeping an eye on him should be plenty enough....."

" I think the same as well.", the Enchantress said sounding final.

" I think you should reconsider....ma'am.", another boy with sandy blond hair and grey eyes said standing up.

" Please return to your assigned seat.", Ai silently said standing up as well.

Frowning at him, the boy took another step and was about to take another but before he could do so, Ai disappeared and appeared behind him,

" Please return to your assigned seat...", Ai said ominously.

" Fuck off !", the boy said pushing Ai to the ground.

" I'm not taking orders from someone who's not a man or a woman ....you fucking unnatural p-"

" Silence."

A low but angry voice reverberated through the room making everybody feel a sense of dread,

" Go back to your seat.....Bardock." the enchantress said glaring at the boy.

Both Bardock and Ai take their respective seats and the meeting continues on with Ai reading the next item on the agenda,

" Talent recruitment from Unity...."
