"But this man is way too powerful and cruel. He first asked me to reveal the identity of the group following me.

But I remembered the rules and didn't do that. He said that he had saved my life and I should repay by telling the name of the group, yet I didn't.

He then disappeared into the trees saying that he wouldn't guide me out of the forest then. I called for him, but that instead got me into trouble as the group traced me.

I immediately started running away then the same man landed in front of me. But instead of running away, he stood there and forced me to stay in the same place." Kizy paused once again, letting the members digest all the information.

"But whatever happened next was truly unpredictable.

HE KILLED THEM ALL!!" Kizy said, exclaiming.

"What!!" The members reacted.

"Yes he killed them all. And guess what? He even killed Hydra, Draco's fiance. Plus he was carrying a weapon. He pierced some men using tree branches, twisted bones for others and killed Hydra with his blades." Kizy was speaking when Jason interrupted.

"Did you touch those blades?" Jason immediately asked, guessing this was how Kizy was poisoned.

"No. But something different happened." Kizy said.

"I was so scared that I wanted to run. But he held me, not letting me go. He said that he wanted me. I struggled a lot, but he still managed to remove my mask and see my bare face." Disappointment was visible in Kizy's eyes.

"Then?" Harry asked.

"I didn't have any way out. So I pretended to struggle while removing another blade from his coat pocket. And I pierced his neck when he wasn't paying any attention." Kizy said, trying to appear brave.

"You touched those blades with your bare hand?" Jason asked.

"Yes." Kizy answered.

"That's why." Jason said to himself, nodding his head.

"What?" Kizy asked.

"Those blades were poisoned. That was why you were found unconscious.

Anyways, so what did he do? How did you manage to reach the gate?" Jason asked.

"He told me the way." Kizy answered.

"What? He told you? He didn't kill you for attacking him but instead he guided you?" Rose asked, surprised.

"This is trouble." Jason once again said to himself, but only Kizy could hear him.

"Why? In fact he immediately ran away after telling me the route." Kizy explained.

"You had pierced him with his poisonous blade. Plus you must not have handled it properly, that was why you were poisoned. But since you only touched it, poison took time to take effect and showed its effect once you were near the gates." Jason said and paused.

"And the man who saved you is - Professor." Jason said, taking a deep breath.

"Who?" Harry asked, not knowing who Jason was talking about.

"The sole successor of the Imperial Nation." Jason said, his voice cold.

"What!!" This time all of them shouted at once.

"Therefore we need to leave this place as soon as possible. We have already left ample clues for him to find us. If we were to stay here for any longer, he would capture all of us." Jason said.

"Shit!!" Kizy said.

"So forgive me Rose and Diamond. I know you are not in your best health right now. But we need to leave this place. Since Diamond had attacked Professor with the poisonous blades, he won't leave his room till tomorrow afternoon for the least.

But I am not sure about this. Thus we need to leave now, when he is resting." Jason said.

"Let's go." Kizy said, understanding how severe this situation was.

Thus the same night, all of them sneakily left the Green Triangle, dodging all the guards. Jason had called his men to receive them from the shore of the island, and all of them were back to C city by next afternoon.

*PRESENT TIME, MARKUS's BEDROOM*

Kizy finished telling the story, her voice calm by now.

"The mask, it was the same one I was wearing for the masquerade ball that day." Kizy said.

"Did he ever meet you again?" Markus asked, his tone serious.

He never expected Kizy to have such a powerful enemy behind her.

"No." Kizy said, shaking her head.

"That's a relief." Markus said.

"No, it isn't." Kizy said.

"Why?" Markus asked.

Kizy took a deep breath.

"Nothing. Leave it. But I know we will be facing trouble soon." Kizy said seriously.

"What trouble?" Markus asked.

"The person who captured Aaron is Professor. Aaron would definitely have hatred for us, especially me. So I am sure the Professor would use that against us." Kizy said.

"Don't worry. You are not alone in this. I am there with you." Markus said, embracing Kizy.

Kizy simply nodded, not knowing how she was supposed to react to this.

She knew Markus, or more importantly Satan, was an eminent figure with a lot of connections. But when compared to Professor, Markus was still lacking.

Thus all this time, the only thought she had in mind was to strengthen themselves, so that they could brace themselves against the enemy.

"I want to join your team. Anyways the Professor knows I am with you. Plus him not attacking us till now means that he is preparing to attack or is waiting for certain timing.

Thus I want us to be stronger, both financially and powerwise." Kizy said, planning ahead.

"You own the team, little lamb. You don't have to join it. As for the rest of things, we can discuss them tomorrow. Let's sleep for now." Markus said, noticing that Kizy had calmed down completely.

Kizy nodded before taking another sip of water.

Markus turned the lights off, before embracing Kizy, and slept only after he was sure that Kiy was asleep.

Next day, Markus and Kizy got ready as usual, leaving for the office. But midway, Kizy noticed something.

"This is not the route to our company." Kizy said, confused.
