8. Deadth

In the middle of Lucas's and his team's investigation, Cleo is preparing herself to do her next task.

In Cleo's secret lair, a high-tech system is operating in front of her. Logs, bugs, and difficult hosts appeared in front of her. For a paid assassin like her, she chooses to work alone. Just like the eye, she is using it. The system is called Al-Eye.

She gave the Al-Eye system orders a few times, like scanning a building's structure or giving her some data about the people she had met. Because of this capability, she is always able to escape when doing her task. She has found her target's location.

She used OB attire so that it would be easy for her to go inside, using a fake face, of course. A few security guards can be seen guarding the place, but it didn't make it hard for Cleo to get in because she learned about the building's structure using the artificial eye. Hacking is an easy thing, especially hacking CCTVs. It's probably her strength.

Cleo is currently observing the situation in a room behind the stage. Her clothes blended with the darkness, making her invisible. She is secretly keeping an eye on her target, who is currently sitting and laughing.

The woman's gaze never left her target. A few bodyguards are around to guard the person. Some are using their usual clothes, some are using disguises.

She was chewing her bubble gum while waiting for the right time. The presidential candidate debate has started with three presidential candidates.

Her mind is currently finding out about a man's picture that has been given to her. She can't wait to finish her task, her hands clenched, her heart full of emotions.

If I become the president, I will

Each of the candidates has finished stating their vision and missions when they are chosen later.

Cleo, who was looking calmly while chewing bubble gum in her mouth, immediately became serious. Her Al-Eye system has given her the countdown to complete her mission. She presses a button.

Clack!

The button she clicked made something above move forward, parallel to the three presidential candidates. A wire is circled and floating above, transparent when hit by light, making others unable to see it.

The three are so good at debating that they didn't realize that they were in danger.

Clack!

The thing that had moved earlier was now heading downwards, a wire, slightly parallel to the face of a candidate.

Clack!

A sound can be heard again, now that the wire has reached its target.

Lucas, who is in the club, accidentally looked at the television that was showing the debate event between the presidential candidates. He felt that something wasn't right and, not finding any commotion or problem, made him go to the television station.

Clack!

Another sound is heard. One of the presidential candidates is starting to whine in pain because of the wire that is suffocating him.

"Urrgh... Argh..." The man groaned, trying to hold the pain.

Everyone widens their eyes. A few are shocked to see what is happening in front of them.

"W-what happened?" A few asked in unison.

Some look panicked about what is happening.

"Why is he... like that?"

Clack!

In the gripping situation, Cleo makes things even scarier. Another sound from someone pressing a button made the body of the person get lifted. Moans and groans of pain can be seen clearly on the man's face.

"Urgh... Akh!" The man keeps on trying to let himself go from the wire's coil. His feet kept on moving, trying to reach the podium in front of him. Too bad he couldn't.

The wire starts to get into the man's skin and flesh. Blood is starting to drip out.

Srettt... cresh...

A loud sound can be heard. The wire had just snapped the man's neck. It went in and sliced the middle-aged man's neck.

Blood sprayed from his neck, some of which got into the audience and some of which got onto the MC.Everyone there started to shout hysterically. They all ran out, whereas the live broadcast is still going on.

Not only in the studio, but so many are also seeing it on television. Everything was in chaos, someone even fainted.

Cleo is enjoying the view. It's as if she feels enthusiastic seeing blood come out of the man's body. She typed a few words on a keyboard until she successfully got into the system that broadcasts the live show.

The man's secret documents can now be seen on the screens of everyone watching the broadcast. Documents for cases of corruption and bribery, as well as cases of human trafficking, organs, blood, and many other things.

Lucas, who is watching it, immediately feels surprised. A voice message is now broadcasting.

Is killing a human being who has killed so many people a mistake? What would happen to this country if this guy became president? Street children won't exist, but there will only be children who disappear without any trace. "

"Starving children will be approached, given food, and, once they recover, will have their organs removed, or sold into slavery."

Capturing him in prison will still make his life enjoyable. He can even still do things like that again. Good food, comfortable beds. A prison should be like any other one. There is no such thing as a "VIP prison."

A picture of a prison with complete facilities is shown on the screen. Inside, there are ACs, comfortable beds, and a TV.

Please give your opinion on this. Does a man like that deserve to live?

Zkrskskzzks...

What Cleo said makes everyone question what is happening. Is there a hero who is fighting corruption, or is there something else? Quite a few are curious to know who killed the man in front of the citizens. Only someone with loads of guts can do it.

Lucas, who saw that, clenches his fists in anger. He couldn't believe what he saw. He crushed the phone in his hand tightly.

"Shit..." He cursed while speeding up his car.
