Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

"What the devil do you mean? You all better find them fast!... Or do you expect me to believe they just vanished into thin air?"

"Find them! I want all intel now!!"

Whether it was Night Whisperer or Snake, they sat in the same room, screaming into their phones at the top of their lungs.

Yes! Even with Night Whisperer brought in from the Republic of Bain, they still found the Tian boy as slippery as an eel.

What was going on here?

Why were they so unfortunate that whenever they came across all matters concerning the Tian boy?

Both Night Whisperer and Snake had puffed out faces like angered blow fishes. But what kept them on edge was that their boss was waiting for any good news from them.

In the far end of the room shrouded in darkness, a man calmly sat, watching the whole charade in silence.

His body positioned as though he were king, and his eyes narrowing intensely in the blanket of darkness.

The only thing more burdening than his presence was the choking silence, making many in the room feel their leader could rise anytime and pass a bullet through their skulls.

They wouldn't deem such a thing above their leader's actions.

Such a thing had happened in the past.

Their leader might be patient now, but they knew soon, his patience would wear out. And by then, the only ones who would suffer would be themselves.

'Damn Tians!!'

Many muttered underneath their breaths, feeling the thick layers of sweat building up across their backs.

Night Whisperer and Snake were no exception to these anxious feelings.

They could cross anyone, but their boss was a man with numerous talents and identities that even they didn't know fully well.

Very slowly, the big man rose from his seat.

"It's already past 11. I'll say this once... You have but 2 weeks to figure things out. All I want is information and not for you to attack the target. So why is it hard for specialists like yourselves to follow and find all information on a little boy? 2 Weeks!... My patience... My patience is running out."

.

--Silence--

Everyone watched the shadowy figure leave the dining space.

His footsteps were light and steady.

And in a flash, he was gone, only leaving an ominous silence behind.

2 weeks... 2 weeks!...

That's all they've got before the beast in their leader comes out of captivity.

Night Whisperer and Snake nodded at each other tactfully.

"For success, we have to work together."

"Work together... We have to join forces!"

It should be known that even though they both worked under the boss, they were still different units/teams, working separately.

Their goal might be the same, but their methods and actions were different.

For most of his time in the Night Whisperer spent working underneath his boss, he and his team had always been strictly tasked with collecting info.

They were more focused on this, while Snake's team was more focused on the 'heavy lighting,' physical side of things, tackling assassinations, thefts, and battles.

Of course, whether it was Night Whisperer or Snake, their teams all had the essential battle and info connecting skills nailed down to the tee.

But for the fact that each specialized in one only meant they knew far better in certain matters than the other.

Snake's team might know how to collect info. But compared to Night Whisperer's, they were average at best. And vice versa.

Both gangs had been doing their things separately, not getting in each other's way ever since Night Whisperer arrived.

But now listening to their boss's undermining threat, they were eager to utilize each other's strengths to get the job done.

"It's been a while since we worked together like this." Snake commented, calmly reaching for the bottle of whisky in a near-dark corner of the space.

"Indeed. It's been too long. But I'm afraid this time; we won't be enough."

Night Whisperer took the glass of whisky handed to him, assessing the matter deeply. And many in the room also sat quietly, listening to their team bosses iron things out.

Those seated before the computers had long stopped punching; those standing by the windows in the near-dark room, scouting the outdoors, were also greatly distracted now.

.

"I reckon the Tian boy was able to get away so fast because of the mighty giants in the city."

"Provided he has something on them, they would continue to do his biddings like puppets on strings. Moreover, the fact they haven't secretly milled him showed the Tian boy has left a dangerous way out for himself too."

Bingo!

Everyone nodded vigorously.

He must've saved a copy of the secret message in the hands of a trusted buddy who will release the news if the Tian boy never returns.

Or maybe there were even more deadly operations than they could imagine.

The more they thought about it, the more deadly and powerful they felt this mysterious information was.

If they acquired and sold it back to these prominent families, do you know how many billions they would receive? What's more, the news would get out on the Darknet, and their prestige would rise to the very top.

Time was of the essence here.

Why? Because it would only be a matter of time before other leaders and bosses in the many killing societies turn their attention to the issue.

And when these people know how vital the information is, do you think they would want them to hug it all to themselves?

Tch!

It was no wonder the boss's patience was limited.

They've already been here for many weeks.

And though Snake and Night Whisperer weren't the only teams working for the boss, the other teams were busy too.

This, the fact that their side wasn't taking up as many missions from the Darknet as usual, was enough to arouse the suspicions of many enemy killer associations.

Many were already sending spies to find out why people as powerful as they were absent for so long.

Did they die? Or did they strike gold?

Many were now searching for any clues to this matter. .and that's why their time was limited.

"Work together?"

"Work together!"

The duo shook hands. And just then, Snake's mobile rang vigorously.

Ring!~~~
