CHAPTER 41: A THOUSAND YEARS AGO

Ivana slowly walked towards Jacob and stepped on his feet while she used her heels to slowly grind on his feet.

"Hmmmm what?"Jacob said while speaking through gritted teeth

"Your drooling and embarrassing the STF"Ivana said as she walked away while Jacob stared at her angrily "Seriously don't know why you keep staring at her".She muttered under her breath and went to sit down

"Is this a bad timing?"Duchess asked as she smiled

"Of course not, it's not"Damien said as he smiled

Suddenly Duchess stared at the potted plant by the window,she slowly walked towards the plant as she held the leaves gently and laughed.Everyone seemed abit confused by her laughter except from her team,while Seer just held her head while shaking it gently.

"Is this how the STF is?"Duchess asked

"We've been standing there for sometime but we weren't even offered a seat"

"Forgive our manners".Lucas said"please sit down"

"its ok"Duchess said as she smiled

"Why are you being so nice to them".Jacob whispered to Lucas

"We need their assistance on this case and we've been told that there's a bad tempered one here who might drop the case if she's pissed"Lucas whispered back

"Oh you mean Scarlet?"Duchess asked "She's the beautiful lady over there"

Both Lucas and Jacob were shocked about how she replied them, although she was a few seats away from them it seemed like she could hear them?

"Yes i can hear you"Duchess said

Once everyone was seated down Lucas began talking

"We should introduce ourselves first"Lucas said as he cleared his throat "Am Lucas, that's Jacob,Damien and Ivana"He said as he pointed at each of them while they just responded by giving fake smiles,apart from Damien who kept smiling at Duchess.

"Your embarrassing me"Ivana whispered

"Am Hades"He pointed at himself "that's Scarlet"He pointed at Scarlet who just nodded coldly "Virus"he pointed at Virus who smiled "Seer and Duchess"He pointed at both of them as they smiled and waved their hands,while Seers gaze stopped on jacob for abit before looking away.

"They have code names?"Damien asked Ivana who didn't give a reply

"We were told to assist in a case and although we've been given a briefing of the case we would like you to give us more information from your side,so we could know if the case is something we should take"Hades said as he placed his hands on the table

"How can we share such information with you when you might not co-operate with us?"Lucas asked as he smiled "You know our names but we don't know yours".

"we're only going through the appropriate procedure's"Hades said

"You also want to know the culprit of this case and we want to solve this case so it's a win win"Lucas said as he smiled

Hades smiled as he stared at Scarlet who brought out a black card with the emblem of the organization on it and passed it to Hades who placed it on the table.

Lucas also brought out a gold card it had an emblem which seemed like tiny pieces of shattered glass around a fist facing the ground.they placed both cards together.And it emitted a light and turned into dust.

Which means that whoever exposes the other's identity shall face dire consequences.Both organizations had only co-operated once and this was the second time.It was said that these organizations were made by a couple that separated a thousand years ago and became enemies.
