Romeo and Veronica slipped out the back exit of the warehouse, moving fast but quiet through the shadows. The G-Wagon waited exactly where they left it,engine already running, doors unlocked. Alpha00 had remote-started it five minutes earlier when the police sirens first sounded.They jumped in.Veronica took the wheel again. Romeo shotgun.She pulled away slowly at first, headlights off, until they were five meters from the building.Then she stopped.They watched from the dark.Police cars screeched up. Officers jumped out, guns drawn. They stormed the warehouse, shouting commands.Minutes later, the hacker was dragged out,hands cuffed, face pale, still tied to his rolling chair like a bad joke. His goons followed, groaning, bloodied, cuffed too.Romeo stared through the windshield.“I should have known.” He muttered to himself, his voice low. “Someone like Senior A getting involved… it was only a matter of time.”Veronica turned to him, worried in her eyes.“You okay?”Romeo blin

Debra looked at Romeo, fear written all over her face,eyes wide, lips trembling.“Romeo… who is Senior A?”Romeo sat closer, took both her hands in his. His voice was low, steady, but his eyes were dark.“Senior A is one of the most dangerous men alive. He was trained in the Underworld Dojo,the same place Senior D-1 came from. But Senior A… he’s different.”“He was the top student. The prime ministers of the Dojo raised him themselves. Taught him everything,killing, hacking, disappearing. He doesn’t miss. He doesn’t leave traces. He’s the one they send when they want someone gone forever.”Debra’s hands went cold in his.Romeo kept going, voice softer.“I met him once… back when I was training at the underground Dojo. He was already a legend. Quiet. Always smiling. But when he fought… It was like watching a death movie. I barely survived a spar with him. He could have killed me in two seconds, but he stopped. Said I had ‘potential.’ I never forgot his voice.”Debra pulled her hands aw

Romeo and Veronica moved through the dark underground garage like shadows. The air was thick with the smell of oil, rust, and old concrete. Their footsteps were soft,almost silent on the cold floor. Dim yellow lights hung from the ceiling, flickering every few seconds, making long shadows jump across the parked cars and pillars.Veronica walked a step ahead, SMG ready but low. Romeo stayed close behind, eyes scanning every corner, every dark spot between vehicles.Veronica broke the silence first, voice low.“Remember when we were kids? We used to prank every single housekeeper in the mansion.”Romeo smiled in the dark.“How could I forget? That time we put salt in the sugar bowl… poor Miss Lena almost had a heart attack when her tea tasted like seawater.”Veronica chuckled quietly.“Yeah, and she chased us around the garden with a broom for an hour. We hid in the old treehouse and you fell out and landed in the rose bushes.”Romeo laughed softly, remembering the thorns.“Worth it. Yo

The black SUV hummed along the empty highway, city lights fading behind them. Veronica drove steady, hands relaxed on the wheel but eyes sharp on the road. Romeo sat in the passenger seat, one arm resting on the door. Mr Dewayne sat in the back, rubbing his wrists where the ropes had been, looking tired but relieved.Romeo turned in his seat, looked back at him.“How did you know, Mr Dewayne? What do you actually know?”Romeo asked, his tone thick with curiosity.Mr Dewayne lips curved into a small and knowing smile.“There’s no need to pretend around me, Romeo. I know who you are. And I know you already figured out your father is the chairman of all the sectors. I’m his vice chairman. Have been for fifteen years.”Romeo hesitated, glanced out the window at the dark trees rushing by.“Mr Dewayne… you just lied to me.”Mr Dewayne blinked.“Huh? I don’t…”Romeo cut in gentle but firm.“Someone told you all that. Recently. It’s not old knowledge.”Mr Dewayne looked surprised, then sighed

Debra stood up slowly from her chair, the legs scraping soft on the floor.“Romeo…?”Romeo didn’t move. His face was white as paper. Eyes still wide, staring at the broken phone on the marble.Tears started rolling down his cheeks.Debra walked to him quickly and put a gentle hand on his shoulder.He turned slow, like in a dream, and looked at her.The tears kept coming.Veronica and Stephen stopped eating. Forks down. They glanced at each other, confused, worried.Veronica’s voice was soft.“Romeo… what happened?”Debra guided him back to his seat, arm around his waist.“Come sit. Tell us.”They sat together. Romeo’s hands shook on the table.Mr Dewayne’s phone rang suddenly.He looked at the screen, sighed.“Shit… I’m needed at the company. Emergency.”He stood, patted Romeo’s back.“Whatever it is, son… if it’s something I can help with, call me. Anytime.”Romeo hesitated, then nodded slowly.Mr Dewayne walked out, door closing soft behind him.Debra turned to Romeo again, voice g
