Chapter 3 The Enigmatic Blueprint

He was left feeling lost and wondered if his eyes were deceiving him due to stress. He composed himself and tried not to dwell on it too much.

Lilith's POV

Thank goodness Vixen arrived quickly to help me, or our plan might have been ruined.

"Let's begin," I said, and immediately headed in the direction of the most important person, Mr. Lorenzo Inferno.

I caught their glances, so they called me to discuss business. I know you're close to bankruptcy, but you're trying to show us that your money isn't running out. It's ridiculous and laughable.

Lorenzo put his arm around me; I know he likes women and has no shame, so for him, everything around him belongs to him. You're wrong about that.

"Ms. Lilith, do you have any children?" asked the woman wearing a gown with a necklace worth a million.

"Not yet," I replied demurely to her question, as if it mattered.

"Oh dear, maybe your relationship isn't lively enough, you don't have any children yet. Let me recommend my OBGYN to you, she's excellent," she gossiped. It's delightful gossip, but I don't care about that; I still want to remain a virgin.

Lorenzo chuckled, "Maybe your husband is lacking in performance," he said jokingly. What does this guy mean? He's just a speck in the universe. "Would you like me to show you how it's done? Maybe I could even give you a child," he whispered to me, trying to win me over. I went along with his joke, pretending to laugh and lightly slapped him.

They laughed, "Your future spouse is really lucky, Lorenzo. Besides being wealthy, you know how to make people laugh."

"I can do a lot of things," he said, looking at me, his mind seeming filthy.

The area plunged into darkness, a shockwave of blackness leaving us disoriented and stunned.

"What's happening?" everyone panicked because of the blackout, but they still managed to do their jobs properly.

I slowly walked away from that place, but unexpectedly, I bumped into someone just as the lights came back on, and someone caught me.

"Kerstel?"

I quickly pulled away from his grasp because I didn't have time to entertain or talk to him; I had something important to do. I immediately left the place and got into the van.

"Have you discovered anything?"

"A lot. I hacked their server and saw a lot of their dirty deeds. They're really something else. It's not enough for them to be imprisoned; just take a look." Fox showed the video, and they watched it with rage.

"Besides trading, they have other businesses too. It's another level. They're minions of darkness," Zenith commented.

"You handle that, Fox. We can use it against them. They just need to wait because we're going to take them down slowly," Vixen said, deep in thought.

"Earlier in the security room, I noticed something unusual. Someone in a gown entered through the back gate, carrying many things. It's suspicious, like they're conducting an experiment there," Kai explained.

"Don't tell me—"

"They're making drugs for the people there. It's their side business. The question is, how did they get that support if there's no one higher than Lorenzo? This also means that many people are involved. Big players in the industry," Lilith concluded.

"Not only that, they also use pornography to increase their sales. They're involved in data privacy issues, and this has a significant impact on their company's reputation."

"You should conduct a background check on those involved as victims in pornography. It's like they're the ones creating and uploading it. It's very obscene. The millions of videos involve lives and dignity. So we better help them; if no one will, then we should."

""You're right," Zenith said.

"How was the event?" he asked.

"Yeah, you guys were trending on Twitter and Facebook, impressive," Kai remarked.

"And there are pictures here, you two look like a couple," Fox teased, "maybe you should make it real."

"Shut up."

"Our next target is to get Lorenzo to give in to us. How? That's what we'll do tomorrow. So let's go home."

As they headed home, Lilith approached the mailbox and snatched a document, examining it filled with pictures of Lorenzo. Lilith quickly grabbed her phone. "Thanks, this will be a big help. See you around. Keep safe," she said before lowering her phone and heading inside the house.

"Where were you?" Vixen asked.

"Just got something from outside," she replied.

"About earlier, do you know him? The guy who hugged you?"

"N-no, why do you ask?"

"Just curious. Okay. Go to sleep," Vixen said, then left.

Lilith went to the secret house and placed a document there from a mysterious sender.

Epilogue

"She's too young to die."

"The child couldn't handle the problem, that's why he committed suicide. Maybe she lacked parental care, that's why."

"If only the mother hadn't gone crazy, maybe the child would still be alive."

"How harsh. I wonder what happened to their family, it's like they've fallen apart."

I covered my ears, refusing to listen to what others were saying. I'm here now, but it's too late because you're already a cold corpse.

The young boy placed a single flower, wiping his tears.

"What happened to you? Why are you sleeping?! You have a friend, you're not alone."

In this situation, I know it's not suicide that caused his death; someone killed him and his family. They'll pay for it. They took years from her, so they'll suffer what Kerstel experienced.

Hardly anyone mourned for her, I'm the only one left, but even so, I won't leave. I'm not a coward; I'll watch over you until you wake up. Can I still eat, knowing this happened to you? While I'm away.

I regret leaving and not studying here. If time could be turned back, I'd want to go back to the days when we happily fished in the ocean without wearing slippers. Playing around joyfully, even if we were sweaty.
