Chapter 78- Message

At the same time, back where Kaya was. The girl was staring at the person behind the cat mascot and her eyes couldn't widen anymore. Then, she muttered.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked.

On the other side, the person she was looking at was none other than Eva. She had a rather dark expression on her face.

"I said what the fuck are you doing here? I saw you leave with those bastards." Kaya repeated with a louder tone.

"It was a trick."

"A trick?"

"Yes, a trick. The Black Phantom wanted to trick them into catching him instead of me. He wanted to face them himself to end the matter." Her tone was weak as if she didn't even want to talk about it.

Her memory went back to a few minutes ago.

"A plan?"

"I will be disguising myself as you using my illusion talent and letting them catch me and bring me wherever they want me to go. Then-"

"Wo, wo, hold on a second, Kai! Are you intending to infiltrate the Guild alone?" She asked.

"Put it however you want." He replied.

"That's dangerous, Kai! We don't even know what they're going to do!" Eva argued with a worried expression. Just the mere idea of Kai being harmed in her place horrified her to no extent. Besides, she already knew about Kai's illness and how potent it was in rendering him incapable of moving.

If the symptoms were to kick in when he's inside a dangerous place surrounded by people like that… She didn't even want to think about what could happen.

"I'm going to do it. It's the only way or everyone will end up dead… Including you and me. I have to put an end to the Guild and I know the right way to do that." Kai's confidence in his abilities and planning was absolute.

"What about your illness? How are you going to deal with it?"

"..."

"If anything happens to you… I won't… I won't be able to live with it, Kai. I can't…" Eva's mind was a wrecked mess at the moment.

"I won't." He replied.

"How can you be so su-"

"I said I won't." He cut her off as he stared at Eva's red eyes. The latter found herself speechless. She could clearly see a myriad of thoughts passing through Kai's purple eyes. It was as if he had countless stars inside his pupils that captured Eva's mind again and robbed her of her power to speak.

"Do you trust me?"

"..."

"I said, do you trust me?"

"With every fiber of my being," Eva replied with certainty.

"Then, let me handle this."

"... I… I understand. What should I do?" With some bitterness in her heart, Eva finally accepted.

She couldn't retort to his words when she saw the sheer confidence he had. In fact, now that she thought about it, she could never really change Kai's mind once he set it to something. He was a person with free will and an ironically carefree personality.

Then, Kai went on to explain what she should do after he leaves. It mainly revolved around dealing with Kaya.

***

Back to the present, Eva shook the worried thoughts she had.

'Get yourself together, Eva. I must trust Kai. He will finish everything and come back safely to me.'

"Sorry to break it down to you but that person isn't Kai. Kai is still back in school. He felt slightly sick so I suggested he rests in the infirmary." Eva said coldly.

After seeing that Kaya wasn't responding, Eva sighed and walked past the woman.

"Wait!" The latter woke up from her trance and grabbed her by the shoulder.

"I know that we both don't trust each other. Granted, Kai wouldn't want me to know such a thing if he was indeed the real Black Phantom. But, please, don't hide the truth from me. I mean no harm to Kai. He is the love of my life."

"..."

"Please, I only want the best for him. Even if it means betraying Divinity. I'm more than ready to do that."

Although Eva was facing the other way, she felt as if Kaya was peering through her. However, as sincere as her tone might've been, she had to keep the plan going. She can't reveal his identity that easily, especially to an Archangel. They already had enough problems as it is.

"I really don't know what you're talking about, Miss."

"Then, why did the Black Phantom specifically help you? What kind of relationship do you have with him?"

"We are old acquaintances. As for why he helped me, he simply had old matters to settle with the Guild."

Although Kaya was almost certain Eva was lying, she couldn't find a loophole in her lie so she could only stay silent. The latter took that opportunity and pulled herself away from Kaya before walking away.

'She said that he's in the infirmary. So, if I go back there now, he would be there.'

Kai kept the revolver aimed at the executive without pulling the trigger. Then, he said.

"You will deliver a message to whoever is responsible for this, V." His tone was dead-cold. That made V even more wary of what kind of 'Message' Kai wanted him to deliver.

What he was certain of is that it won't be a very 'peaceful' message. Depending on how angry Kai was, it could either start a war between him and the Hitman Guild or it could be simply a warning.

"Tell them this: Eva Lavine and her family are now under my protection. Any attempt to harm them, kidnap them, or take anything from them, I will consider a threat toward me directly. I am someone who pays back blood with blood and favors with favors. Don't try me." He said before he pulled the trigger.

*BANG*

The bullet blew through the executive's head before it planted into the ground, leaving behind it a hole in the man's skull. Blood gushed out of his head like a fountain.

'This should stop the Guild from making a move for a while. That should be enough time.' He thought as he stared at V.

Although this solution was temporary, Kai knew that the Guild wasn't dumb enough to attack him. He had already met many High Officers back when he was still an active hitman and they were aware of his power. That's one of the reasons why the Guild didn't dare to actively pursue him after he left as they knew he could wipe out any army they would send toward him.

That blacklisting and bounty were simply a gimmick so that they could keep face after what Kai did.

However, his intention wasn't this temporary solution. His goal was to completely and utterly destroy the Guild and that required the perfect opportunity. Destroying an organization of this caliber wasn't something easy even for someone like Kai.

"So that's why you will not kill me… Hahahaha…" Grabbing his face, V chuckled coldly. For some reason, he found this situation amusing rather than scary.

He was one of the most respected people in the Guild. A man with great strength and standing that made him intimidate the strongest of hitmen was now turned into a postman the Black Phantom could use to send messages.

The humiliation was beyond words. But, V knew that he couldn't really consider this a hit to his pride since the person that did that to him was by far the strongest creature to ever walk on this planet.

How can he feel hurt because the strongest treated him like a puny weakling?!
