105 Three Years Later (part 2)
Sliding the brown envelope to Joshua on the table Aaron said in a mocking tone.
"Be careful!"
Snorting in disdain, Joshua took the envelope and opened it.
Just a glimpse of the pictures inside the envelope made his blood turn cold.
A chill ran down Joshua's spine.
His face became pale, Joshua inspected all the pictures and documents inside the envelope.
The more he saw the pictures, the paler he became.
Joshua's face was as white as a sheet of paper.
Joshua stood up abruptly and looked at Aaron with fear in his eyes.
What's inside the envelope wasn't some pictures of him with another man or woman playing wrestling or something.
It was something far more outrageous than he thought.
If the pictures from before will only affect his marriage and his reputation.
Then these pictures in his hands will completely destroy him, no, not just destroy him but it will kill him.
Fear!
The intense amount of fear that he was feeling was enough to commit murder in broad daylight.
He almost lost his senses for a minute.
"Who gave you these pictures and documents!!!" Joshua unaware of himself said out loud enough for the people in the cafe to look at him.
His guards were acting and were about to approach him when he came to his senses.
Telling the guards to live him alone with Aaron, he sat on the chair once more.
Joshua glaring at Aaron asked again.
"Who gave you these pictures and documents!" His voice sounded rough and hurried also had a trace of fear mixed in it but it wasn't as loud as before.
"My, my Mr McCallister! What makes you think that I will tell you about my sources. And don't think about anything stupid, after all, I'm Aaron Christopher Blood. The Blood family will destroy you if there's even a single scratch on me."
Aaron paused for a moment before he continued.
"Well, your company will surely be destroyed if these were made public, no? Joshua McCallister selling weapons and tech? Selling classified information to different countries. Also, giving refuge to terrorists, selling them weapons and tech. The bombing in the U.K a few years ago also the one in Germany a year ago happened because you sold those bombs yourself. Ha! Many governments will be after you, also the terrorists too. It will not just destroy your reputation, it will get you killed."
"So, Mr McCallister? How about giving me those shares, I'm just asking for the shares and nothing more. I promise! I will destroy everything once our deal is complete. How can you believe that? Well, you just have to trust me on that, hahaha!" Aaron laughed seeing Joshua's face contorting in fear.
Soon, Aaron finished their deal and left the Cafe first.
Joshua's people were after him, but Aaron was able to shake them off soon.

Aaron was back in Star City, he was walking to the clubhouse to work on some things before going to sleep early at the clubhouse.
While walking in the streets he saw a couple eating ice cream.
Seeing them eat ice cream Aaron also craved for it.
So he went to grab a box from a nearby grocery store.
Sitting at a park, Aaron was enjoying his ice cream.
He was reading the messages on his phones.
Most of them were about 'Nameless'.
Three years have passed since the downfall of Trinity Crown.
Ember a new underground organisation took control of the resources Trinity Crown had and ruled the Star City's underground world.
The first two years was the most difficult for embers, but they were able to finally dominate the whole Star City.
The influence of Ember is only in Star City at the moment.
But their information network spans around the whole Country O.
In the past, Trinity Crown was able to monopolize because of its information network.
Their information network is vast and unparalleled in Country O.
The current leader of Ember is Terry Smith, an associate of Nameless.
Terry rules Ember's under Nameless.
His half-brother Park Hae-young helped him at the beginning but later Park Hae-young retired.
Park Hae-young had some psychological issues and become suicidal at one point but with the help of some of the best psychiatrists in Star City, he was able to heal.
Park Hae-young never returned to the Underworld or stayed in Nameless.
But he instead, joined Nyx as her trusted strategist.
Nyx then put Park Hae-young as her aunt, Cassandra's personal assistant.
Cassandra taught Nyx about Prince Industries, she also learned about business under Cassandra.
Over these three years, many changes happened in their life.
Nyx and Aaron were the same just like before but their emotions differ from each other sometimes.
Nyx also has some changes in personality as she became a bit quieter than before.
It was like Nyx has become the second version of Erisviel.
Aside from her own friends and family, she was quiet and silent most of the time.
After joining Nameless, Erisviel finally has the chance to pursue her dreams without any restriction.
Cybernetics, computer science and technology with Aaron beside her with knowledge from a different world she has become a superhuman.
She has already started to work on her AI project but that will take some time for her to finish it.
It's not easy to create an AI completely self-learning that mimics humans.
She doesn't want the world to be something like what happens in a certain movie where machine took over the world.
Wait, it's a setting for more than one famous movie so which specific?
(A/E: I like Matrix. It's the best!)
Anyway, Erisviel is in charge of everything related to computers and cybersecurity of Nameless.
It was expected of Erisviel. Anyone could have guessed how Erisviel will turn out after getting the unrestrictive taste of freedom to do whatever she wants.
Ian had the biggest change among them.
He was still goofy but devoted himself to be stronger.
Aurora lost a few times in the past but as Aurora grew older and her experience's from previous life finally synchronising with her, she was still strong. More like Ian will never ever be able to surpass someone like Aurora who has more than a century of years of experience and knowledge on fighting.
Ian also took in charge of Nameless's security.
His way of fighting and tactics differ from Aurora, he was able to compete on equal terms on tactics and combat.
Ana is pursuing biology and medicine. Her place in Nameless is the most important, as she is the miracle healer on the organisation.
Sabastian and Zulkernyn have their own department.
Zulkernyn controls the assassin's under him and the whole information network.
Sabastian, on the other hand, manages the whole Nameless alongside Aurora.
As for himself?
Aaron is a free spirit.
He is also the leader of Nameless but over these three years, Aaron's physical condition worsened.
His eyesight became worse, he is currently wearing contacts but he doesn't like wearing contacts much.
Most of the time Aaron wears glasses.
Sometimes, his body becomes paralysed.
There's nothing he could do.
He is cursed.
The curse of idleness has started to affect him badly.
Without magic, it's hard for Aaron to live his daily life.
He has made some equipment that helps his nerves to awaken every time they went to sleep.
But that is only short term solution to his problems
He is currently working on a project but when it will finish up? Aaron doesn't know.
Everyone was concerned about him.
Suddenly, Aaron snapped out of his thoughts.
