The Rhyme of the Depositary

096 - SEASON 2

Dying up?

Jasmine looked at William with a questionable look. The old man just stared back without a word.

For a few minutes they were silent to each other. Nothing breaks the silence. Until then, Jasmine asked in a slightly annoyed voice.

"Do you want to explain it or not, William?"

The old man was a little unhappy. From the start, she was indeed not very compatible with Jasmine. From the appearance of the woman, to her attitude that is considered capable of tarnishing the character of Alice. But how else. Klayver had entrusted Alice to him. William could not resist the policy. However, the clayver is a calculating man. He must have considered all possibilities.

"I've been investigating every suspicious thing from Sila a while ago. He was connected to the Black Hell organization. An organization that until now I had no idea who it was led by. Maybe Latin Americans. My informant just got to that point. Although I don't know who he is yet, but I managed to conclude this organization must be targeting Klayver and Alice." William was silent for a moment. He then stood up, walking closer towards Jasmine on the side of the hospital bed.

"Sila has become a spy for them. You think you're the only one who wants his death? I want something similar too. It is better to silence someone before that person acts harmfully. But the doctor who treated Sila said shocking information. Please identify positive for nerve toxins in low doses. The doctor still does not know what type. What was clear was that Sila had brought up symptoms of seizures and shortness of breath for a moment. The poison was deliberately inserted with the intention of killing him slowly. From now on, Sila will often experience her symptoms. It is likely that he will die in the next one to two months. Three months at the most.

"After I learned of that fact, I undoed the intention to kill him. Why spend the energy silencing a person who is in the stage of picking up his own death?" William smiled cynically.

William's trust has never been bent. Once he serves someone, even if he has to kill thousands of lives for it, he will. Eliminating Sila is not a hard thing if it is for Alice's good. William is willing to do so willingly.

But the condition of Sila is already on the verge of death. It would be useless if it obliterated by William's hand. Just adding suspicion to the enemy. The death of a spy would make Black Hell wary. Sila's life is a measure of the success of their plan. If Sila was killed in this process, it would only make Black Hell take another more significant step.

"You mean, Black Hell has put the poison into Sila's body? Isn't Sila their asset now? Why kill your own assets."

"There are two possibilities. First, because the usefulness of Sila is only temporary and he does not want to make Sila as a burden because he has known their secrets so that it is poisoned, he said, or because they don't trust Sila's loyalty enough that she'll be safer silenced once it's all over."

In the law of the jungle, there is a principle in which it is better to cut off the toxic part of the body than to let it harm the other part. Sila is a marker of toxic parts. He was considered capable of dragging danger to Black Hell. Therefore, having ceased her useful life, the woman was deliberately silenced for good.

"Sy enough cunning thoughts. They even finish off their own people!" Jasmine shook her head in a sliver.

There are organizations that have terrible principles. As long as the organization is safe, they don't care how much blood their fellow men need to shed.

"Go and give me back your nurse's gear. You don't deserve to wear medical clothes to cover up the depravity of your intentions!"

"Don't be a holy grail, William! You're the same as me. None of us deserves to be holy." Jasmine passed away going outside the room, leaving William alone.

After Jasmine died, William walked out of the room. He needed coffee to relieve his fatigue. He walked towards the hospital hallway, entered the elevator, and pressed the ground floor button.

Jasmine remained alone in the ward. Doctors have given him sleeping pills to make him able to rest comfortably. But secretly without anyone knowing, Please did not sleep at all from earlier.

Please include acute insomnia. He used to take some kind of sleeping pills to make him sleep. Over time, the dose he used increased more and more each time. So inevitably Please doubling the amount of sleeping pills he consumes.

Therefore, when the doctor gave him sleeping pills, he just pretended to be asleep. It was impossible for that small dose to affect him. Sila was forced to pretend to sleep because next to her was William. He was reluctant to stay sober while there were old men who had always looked at him cynically lately.

Unexpectedly, his pretense made him get the latest information. Luiz, with all his cunning, has made Sila exposed to the nerve agent. Lately he has been feeling short of breath. He thought it was just the effect of the autumn changes. It turned out that it was a symptom of the suffering he was going through in the future.

Please do not hear the doctor who handled it talking about the problem of nerve toxins that he suffered. Looks like the doctor talked about it privately in his room with William. Please was quite surprised to hear the statement presented by the man in front of Jasmine.

Please have dropped his own morale just to follow Black Hell. He betrayed Alice, passed on information he shouldn't, dispelled his conscience, just for what? He was brutally murdered through a poison that he himself did not realize. Only to be silenced when he no longer has any use value for Luiz.

Oh God. Luiz was that cruel. For what money would he receive if he finally met a painful death directed so neatly? Did in Luiz's eyes, Sila have no meaning at all? Just a chess piece whose purpose is to be moved and played at will.

If only Sila knew her fate would be like this. If only he had the ability to turn back time. If only he had the power to change an event. He will reject all Liza's offers and will never betray a woman as good as Alice.

Maybe this is how God punishes him. She is an evil woman who has broken many of God's commands and defied His prohibitions. God made Sila get her reward this fast.

After Sila did the lowly thing, she finally got the consequences directly. How sad he is. Living life is only to pick up death slowly.

Without feeling it, tears melted down from both of his eyes. Please wet cheeks in no time. He sobbed silently without a sound. Angry at yourself. That's what he's feeling now.

Please don't seem to be sleeping. He must have heard all the talk of William and Jasmine. From Jasmine's desire to kill him, to the fact that Sila had been poisoned by Black Hell's party.

It is not easy to accept the fact that a person is poisoned by the organization that wears it. Realizing that he was dying, towards death and a terrible end because of the actions he never expected.

That is how nature works. There is a sin called betrayal. The sin has a recompense that one can either receive directly, or be postponed to a certain time. Please be the one God chooses to

take the blame and sins directly. Maybe this way, will reduce the sin of Sila in the next life.

William is not a cruel enough man. He saw the look of regret that began to form on Sila's face at a glance earlier. Perhaps, the woman had finally regained enlightenment. The path of truth is not too late to follow. The last breath is at the end of the throat.

This is the story of life. Not everything has a good ending. There are always one or two stories that are a tragedy for some people.

The rainbow exists. But not for everyone. Pathetic indeed. But that's the fact.

…

Daniel sat pensively on a chair in the study. This morning he had intended to meet Jasmine and hand over the money that should have belonged to the woman. But somehow, Daniel undoes his intentions.

His mood was always erratic whenever he imagined he would meet Jasmine. His body's response said something he shouldn't have felt. All of that made Daniel feel uncertain.

Maybe tomorrow he'll see the woman again. Today somehow Daniel is not interested in making his own body response turmoil. He better submerge himself in the many things he is able to cope with. Jobs, for example.

Daniel examines the incoming email and scrolls it down. His eyes narrowed at the sight of a message with the subject 'Black Hell'. Daniel pressed the mouse, opened the email and read the request sent.

Black Hell is a very famous organization. The organization took on all the roles of every crime that anyone could think of. From prostitution, narcotics, human trafficking, organ trafficking, weapons, and smuggling in many prohibited places.

It is still a mystery to the world who is the owner and main perpetrator of this organization. The head of this organization was as mysterious as the evil eyes. Only a few people are allowed to know.

In the email, there was a job offer Black Hell was trying to offer. The organization just said Daniel needed to do something. It was not explained in detail that Daniel was asked to do something related to technology. So, it could be interpreted if the organization could have demanded Daniel do something beyond his expertise.

Daniel frowned unhappily. It seems like his name is starting to be known in the dark world. Even a Black Hell-class organization contacted him personally. This could be a bad sign. Has his expertise in cyber and hacker worlds knocked on the doors of major mafia organizations? If he did, Daniel's life would have been unsettled.

Nothing is more worrisome for a dark business person unless he or she is easily exposed and easy to find. If that was the case, the enemy would definitely be easy to aim for him without obstacles. From now on, Daniel must improve the security of self and technology security so that it is not easily penetrated by others. Especially the big mafia who want his services.

Usually, dealing with a big mafia is a little troublesome. They always act arbitrarily. Once Daniel did not comply, his life would be threatened. Daniel likes to be limited and controlled. He needs free air to guarantee every action he takes.

During this time, if Daniel received illegal transactions, he preferred to accept offers made by individuals. Whether it's hijacking something or looking for sensitive information that's harmful.

Because, by working for someone, they can form a balanced agreement. The deal they are talking about from two points of view. Negotiate and argue each other as if doing transactions in general.

But, if it had to serve a large organization like the mafia, Daniel's position would definitely lose. He was cornered and required to do whatever they wanted. Some organizations can be kind, but most are authoritarian and stressful. Daniel doesn't like this kind of situation. It would be better for him to disappear from circulation temporarily. Once the situation is conducive, he will again run his business and strengthen the level of self-security.

Daniel closes the email and scrolls the screen up again. He wanted to turn off the laptop, but then started thinking about something.

If until Black Hell contacted him, it would definitely not be because of something trivial. There's a big reason behind it. Daniel is intrigued to find out their reason.

Alright. It seemed like it would be best if he met them and found out what made them contact him.

If he fits in with his client and his job, he will take. But if not, Daniel will look for a good enough reason to reject it. A reason that he must think of from now on so as not to be impressed to offend them intentionally. Daniel is still not too stupid to make a blatant problem with them.

Quickly, Daniel's fingers typed in a reply to make the meeting. He never knew that Black Hell intended to use him to do things he could not.
