Unveiled the Missing Heritage

I immediately pulled my hand away from the computer, a sheepish grin on my face.

"I'll call Gilg, and he can do it for us," Dove added, reaching for her phone.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Dove dialed Gilg's number, her expression focused.

Meanwhile, Yolan approached me. "Xian, want to take action again tonight?" she asked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Action...?" I raised an eyebrow, curious.

"Yeah, apparently, there's this rich kid who's been stealing our ideas to create a competing company, and we want to take him down by making him bankrupt," she explained.

"Hmm... what do you want me to do?" I asked, a bit hesitant. Surely we wouldn't just break into their house, right...? I thought.

"Break into their house and take their money," Yolan explained nonchalantly.

Shit....

Irune walked closer, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "You guys wanna do that~?"

A wave of mixed emotions washed over me. On one hand, the idea of using my powers to help my friends and teach that rich kid a lesson was tempting. But on the other hand, breaking and entering felt morally wrong, even if it was for a good cause.

"Are you sure that's the best way to handle this?" I asked, my voice filled with uncertainty. "What if we get caught?"

Yolan shrugged. "We'll be careful. Besides, it's not like we're stealing from innocent people. This guy deserves to be taught a lesson."

Irune nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, let's show him that he can't mess with WRA Company!"

IM, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "I'm in, it sounds easy enough for me."

I sighed, "So... you guys know where he lives?"

Yolan nodded. "I asked Gilg about that, and he already tracked him down. He's near the city, in a rich residential area, a cluster."

"Alright," I said, finally relenting. "Let's do it. But we need to be careful. We can't let anyone see us, and we can't leave any evidence behind."

"We have our suits, remember?" IM reminded me.

Yolan nodded, "I still have mine too."

Dove, who had been on the phone, finally spoke, placing her phone on the table. "It's true, the Unveil Commission exists, but it's just a small organization within a larger one."

"A smaller organization within a bigger one?" Irune asked, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What does that mean?"

"It means the Unveil Commission is just a front," Dove explained, her voice grim. "They're a cover for the Seers' true operations."

Yolan's eyes widened. "So the Seers are even more organized than we thought."

Dove nodded. "Gilg has been digging deeper into the dark web, and he's found some chatter about the Commission. They're involved in all sorts of illegal activities, from smuggling to assassinations."

A chill ran down my spine. The Seers were clearly a force to be reckoned with. They were not only powerful, but they were also organized and ruthless.

"We need to be careful," Dove warned. "We can't underestimate them."

Aca chuckled darkly. "I don't know, but... it seems like a big war is coming. Our ancestors hid from the Seers, who were trying to eliminate us. Now, both sides know the other is still alive..."

That's what I think too... Seers and Unveiled have been enemies since ancient times... and now? I thought, a sense of foreboding settling over me. The conflict that had simmered for centuries seemed to be reaching a boiling point.

A silence fell over the room, heavy with the thought of the impending conflict.

"For now, we should gain more trust from the people so that if anything happens..." Dove trailed off, then a smirk appeared on her face. "How about I use the three of you?" she pointed to IM, Yolan, and me.

"Use the three of us...?" I repeated, unsure of what she meant.

"We're going to play hero and villain," Dove explained further. "You'll be under the banner of our company!"

IM's eyes lit up, a mischievous glint in his gaze. "Now that sounds like fun," he said, a wide grin spreading across his face.

Yolan, too, seemed intrigued by the idea. "I wouldn't mind a little more action," she said, cracking her knuckles.

I, on the other hand, was a bit more hesitant. "But won't that draw even more attention to us?" I asked, remembering the recent media frenzy surrounding our actions at the concert.

"Exactly," Dove replied, a confident smile playing on her lips. "We'll control the narrative, create a positive image for the Unveiled. We'll show the world that we're not the monsters the Seers are trying to paint us as."

Irune nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, we can turn this whole situation to our advantage."

Aca's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Imagine the possibilities! We could stage fake battles, rescue missions... the whole shebang!"

I couldn't help but be drawn in by their enthusiasm. It was a risky plan, but it also had the potential to turn the tide in their favor. If they could win the hearts and minds of the people, they might be able to stand a chance against the Seers.

"Alright," I finally said, a sense of resolve settling over me. "I'm in. Let's show the world what we're really made of."

"Or maybe..." Yolan interrupted the room's enthusiasm. "Right now we could create false accusations against that rich kid... making him look like he's corrupt or something?"

I tilted my head. "So we're not going to break into his house?"

Yolan shook her head. "We still will. We'll take the money and make it look like he embezzled it, taking it for himself instead of using it for the company he created."

"What company even did he create? Is it already big?" IM asked, curious.

"It's called InnovTech," Dove replied, her voice laced with a hint of bitterness. "They've been poaching our clients and stealing our ideas, all thanks to that rich brat's dirty tactics."
