1 I'm Zou Liwan ( The dark ghost)

Sa madilim na kastilyo sa bandang timog kanluran matatagpuan ang isang nakahandusay na lalaki kahit na puno na sya ng dugo sa buong katawan pilit bumabangon upang lumaban ..

" why don't you just end my life here and now? , if you let me live today i hunt you to death " sabi nya habang pilit bumabangon habang may hawag na patalim upang itoy i-agapay sa pag tayo, nanlilisik na mata na kung ang tingin ay nakamamatay lang ang tingin, ay malamang tumba na ang lalaking kasalungat nya .

" heh?, but I'm no killer ? " sagot naman nito ..

tila napataas ang kilay ng lalaking kasalukuyan ng naka tayo at pa-ika pa-ikang humahakbang papunta sa lalaking kasalungat , di nya ito maintindihan , kanila lang nitong hating gabi habang payapang nag papahinga ang kanyang pamilya at mga tao sa mansyong ito ay bigla nalang lumitaw itong taong to sa harap nya at humantong sa ganitong sitwasyon . pero hindi ito ang iniintindi nya sa ngayon gusto nya malaman kung anong nangyari sa pamilya nya sa kamau ng tila baliw na taong to ..

"No KILLER ?? THEN WHAT THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU FREAKING BASTARD?, .." " do you think I believe what you just said ?? after this ?? "

" of course not , after what I've done but that's the truth.. I'm here to do business with you" he replied habang naka titig sa kanyang mga mata ..

"In the middle of the night? what ?? DO WHAT ? " halos pumiyok sya kanyang narinig .. mas lalo syang nangangamba sa kanyang pamilya ." at pag hindi ako pumayag ? " habang kumakalma .

"its your choice " he lean to her then smile .... he almost couldn't believe what her saw .. the face that just recently almost like the face of death now has an innocent eyes with a joyful smile .. it was so childish face .. pero di sya maloloko ng maskarang yun ..

" I'll take you with me for a while ", he said then turn around while clap his hand gently , then may lumabas sa kanyang likura na anino na bumuhat sa kanya ' fuck it hurts . ' kahit masakit still ang nasa muka nya ay expressionless..

" be gentle Ben , he still have wounds , it still hurts you know " ang lalaking may childish face said habang nag lalakad sila palabas ng palabas ng mansyon .. then ang lalaking bumuhat ay napahinga ng malalim at mas lalong diniinan yung pag hawak sa kanyan ..then it said " who cares? " habang naka taas ang kilay nito

" but--" mag sasalita pa sana ito pero pinigilan ng na sya mga salita ni *ben* ng tumungin ito ng napipikon dito . then after the other one pout its pinkish lips para sa lalaki pero di na sya sumagot.. so weird, so weird .. sino ba boss ??' I nees to get away from as soon as -- '

" Mr. Fan Shi ... its not just a business that we choose this way to communicate with you , we've choose it to hide away from so many spies inside your mansion " panibagong lalaki nanaman ang lumabas mula sa dilim ,may suot itong salamin na umaaninag pa sa ilalim ng buwan habang dahan dahang nag lalakad ito kung saan sila papaunta , " what do you mean ?? there's someone who after my life ? don't joke around " pilit kong tinatago ang takot na namumuo sa dib dib ko hindi para sa buhay ko kundi para sa asawa't mga anak ko , .. "your part of a high table so you know what I mean and of what may happened!, but my boss choose to do business with you in order to protect your family" it replied nan laki ang mata ko sa sinabi nya pero di ko maintindihan kung bakit? .. alam ko being part of this kind of organization is dangerous lalo na di ito alam ng pamilya ko pero i choose this dahil may kasunduan sa high table at walang dapat lumabag don unless its part of under table na gustong pumalit sa puwesto ko sa tulong ng isang higher table member .. ' of fuck I'm near to doom '

" you have now a 7 million dollars above your head . so many money for the assassin's who may succeed.." it laugh..

" but why ? why choose to help me ? is it to use me?? to make that boss of yours more powerful?? eh~" i said

" what a fool !, if I'am the one who could choose , why would i help you?? you think our boss need your power to be on top ?? dream on ?" ben said

" then why ? "

" who knows ?"

"..." i don't know anymore

before i know it we've been in a clinic and being treated for my wounds .. kung iisipin at titingnan wala akong fatal indury at ligtas din ang pamilya ko pag alis namin ng bahay may mga armadong tao na pinag babaril ang masyon .. at pinasabog .. now I'm alive and kicking dahil sa taong ito .. now can i said that i owed them my life??

" alright i give in .. but i have one request for my duty ... i need to ensure my family's safety" i said with resolution since it come to this i need a backer to hunt from a shadow ..

" Good, now just sign here a contract then we welcome you to our kingdom " the man with glasses smirk .

i did sign this blood contract with out reading it i don't care anymore.. now after this am I still be one of the lord sitting in the high tables ??

" The ritual now is done so can i know who areyou people ? " i curiously said then one by one all the light open . .. sa gitna nitong malaking mansyon naka upo na tila hari ang isang lalaki na syang naka harap ko sa loob ng aking mansyon .. naka ngiti sya sakin na kumikinang ang mga mata pero kahit na sa malayo kasalungat sa kinang ng mata ang aura na lumalabas sa kanya ... i feel chilled cross down my spine, i dont know but its very alarming now than before .. hindi ko na mamalayan pero pinag papawisan na ako ng malamig di ko mapigilang umiwas ng tingin saka ko lang napansin halos kalahati ng higher table ay nadito pero hindi ko kilala ang lalaking naka upo sa gitna at ang lalaking nasa likod nito na isa ...

isa isa nag pakilala ang mga tao sa dito sa loob ng malaking espasyo ng kwartong ito ... makikita mo ang mga desenyo ng kwarto ay maka luma samahan pa ng mga tao na halos iisa ang expression ..

" Jouvanie dee - higher table 5ft sit " a man with glasses said

" Clarc Ben - one of the higher table " said the one who carry me to here .

followed by the other that one of the higher table and some under table that most influential of all ..

isa lang ang masasabi ko .. pag itong mga tao nato mg paplano para kalabanin ang higher table siguradong mag iiba ang ikot ng mundo ng underground organization.. halos lahat na nag pakilala pero ang dalawang nasa gitna ang hindi pa...

"I'm Fan Shi - 12nd sit in the higher table " pag papakilala ko then sabay titig sa dalawang na hindi pa nag papakilala ...

" inside the higher table think that they we're the most powerful person on the ground but you've been mistaken .. in the heaven stands above the god and above the higher table stand the Infinite and I'm Mathew ( The Sinner ) .. nice to meet you Mr. Shi " i can't help my self that my eyes keep twitching that almost all the color of my face turn pale.. the hibernated person is in front of me .. one of the legendary person that even the most skilled higher table assassin's can't see how they die if this person we're to take their life . that even the most guarded president of nation can't escape the hunt .. and even the the most powerful persons inside the higher table are need to bow when they see this person .. no need to mention how to hunt this killer .. but the most shocking is the way this person obey the man na naka upo na tila hari sa gitna .. this person smile like none of this matters ...

" Hello Mr. Shi .. I'm Zou Liwan ( The dark ghost ) " he smirked while looking at me meaning fully that when i averted my sight i notice them all look at me the same as this person .. ' ( The Dark Ghost? ) that person that killed the all Founder of higher table 7 years ago ?? aren't he .. aren't he the sole founder of all organization of all ?? the similar to god existence on the world ?? '
