The Rhyme of the Depositary

008 - SESON 2

Leon sculpting. He rubbed his palm while walking back and forth around the room.

The old man was truly beyond belief. After a long time he lived life in a dilapidated cottage alone until almost considered a ghost, now he came just to find information about Eyes Evil.

"I can't!" Aaron shakes.

It's not a matter of him not wanting to maintain solidarity between friends. It's a matter of principle. From the very beginning when he knew the true identity of Ayes Evil, Leon had been determined to keep this a secret. He was a person who kept the commitment, making it impossible for him to betray a trust of this magnitude.

"You're such a useless friend!" Aaron spilled his anger. He clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

"Do you know how much a trust costs? Even if you threatened to kill me, something I'm sure you're good at, I'll never divulge his identity."

Leon's tone was as harsh as Aaron's. They both blamed and blamed each other. Leon is strong enough to keep the secret he has. If Alice had met him under normal circumstances, she would have put new wealth on the loyalty Leon had.

"What's the point of having a friend like you? Would you still not care if I told you this woman really needed to meet Eyes Evil?" Aaron's breaking the table.

Alice was quite stunned as well. This old man if the emotions are not half. Judging from his attitude like that, it was very possible that the gossip of murder two years ago actually happened.

"What if this was the case ..," Leon said as he sat back in front of them, "Alice, you tell me what your interests are and I'll tell Eyes Evil. Let him decide for himself whether he wants to see you or not." Leon tried to make an offer.

Aaron glanced at Alice and nodded small. At the moment they have no other promising options. It's good that they try the luck offered by Leon.

"All right." Alice nodded, accepting Leon's proposal. He cleared his throat a few times before finally explaining to her.

"Anson, my husband, died of an accident. But at the moment I don't know what methods Anson's enemies are using to silence him. Aaron has investigated this and says the culprits are a group of great people who have a lot of protectors as well. Therefore, I intend to ask Eyes Evil for help to solve this problem.

"I heard, he is the only person who has the ability to finish people off in the shadows, so that their deaths can never be detected. Besides, even if they all knew I was using Eyes Evil, no one would dare to take revenge on me. Aaron says he has a great reputation in the dark world."

Leon. He tried to understand Alice's intentions and clucked uncomfortably.

They all did not know the conditions that Eyes Evil was facing. The situation is vulnerable, although its capabilities are not at all reduced.

During this time, the average influential person knew the man's big name and ability. Those who use their services are never once disappointed. Whoever the target is, if Ayes Evil has acted, it is certain that the target will immediately kiss the burial ground.

But even though his name is famous and feared, no one has ever been able to uncover his true identity. They only know that the Evil Eyes are men. His name, face, age, place of residence or any other information could not be revealed.

During this time if a transaction occurs, Eyes Evil always has an intermediary. One of them is Leon. They were never allowed to meet in person. It was only the mediators that Eyes Evil allowed to meet and talk to him. Even the payment problem, the agents take care of it. They received the money and gave it to Eyes Evil with a wage of twenty percent of the transaction rate.

Eyes Evil has been around for eight years now, as he enters the dark business as a hitman. All parties are satisfied and do not complain about any complaints.

Up to a year and a half a movement emerged from several organizations to hunt the Evil Eyes. Neither dark organizations nor governmental organizations. Same purpose. Bend Evil Eyes because he has eliminated many influential people.

It doesn't matter if the organization pursuing it is just a local organization. Evil Eyes can deal with it. Even if only a few countries were to hunt him down, perhaps he could still be calm. But what is hunting him now are nine different countries. Listen, those nine countries have already developed into twelve countries.

Pretty crazy amount. Indirectly, Eyes Evil is considered an international fugitive. As strong as he is, if he has to face the hunters who are extraordinary in number of course he can lose.

Fortunately, his identity has not been fully dismantled, although many clues have already led to him. Everyone was slowly already cultivating evidence to link Evil Eyes with a man who had similarities to their clues.

If all this was left, Evil Eyes would gradually reveal his identity. Just waiting for time until he was finished off by everyone. Unless he suddenly finds a way to escape.

Leon once suggested plastic surgery and made another identity. But Eyes Evil never wanted to do that. For him, plastic surgery is only used by sissies who are afraid to face a risk. Creating another identity is not very helpful either. Considering the people who hunt them down are not fools who are easy to manipulate. Emergency rescue methods can no longer be proposed Leon.

A year ago he pushed Eyes Evil out of the country, but was rejected outright. He said it was useless to go anywhere because he became a fugitive of many countries. It was the same as going from the hunter's house to the house of another hunter.

Leon doesn't know what else he can propose for the good of Eyes Evil's life. After all, he is a friend as well as an intermediary. He didn't particularly like to imagine his theme being pushed around like this.

"Alice, I'll pass on your request to her. Give me a few days and let me call you."

"alright. L'm gonna, Leon." Alice stood up and reached out to greet Leon. The light of his eyes showed satisfaction.

…

This afternoon Alice came home with Axel's favorite cake. He saw his son playing with William. This butler Anson used to have always accompanied his difficult times. He is happy at least there is a figure like William who gives him the spirit and support like a father.

"Will, did Axel act today?"

"No Madam, he's understanding enough and getting smarter." William's smile was wide until it reached his two eyes.

Alice handed the cake she had brought to her only son.

"Thank you, Mom!" Axel hugged a pack of cake on his chest with a carefree sparkling face, typical of children.

"Kiss me, honey!" pinta Alice thrusting her cheek.

"No! No!" Axel rebelled away from Alice's side and ran away.

"Do you, Mom? A man who still kisses and hugs his mother will be called a spoiled child and will find it difficult to get a woman."

"Hey, you're only five years old. Don't say it like that!" Alice nodded furiously. Where does Axel's theory come from? Oh, my God, he's a kid.

For a moment, they fell silent when Anson's name was mentioned again. There was always a gaping wound between them whenever the name was called.

"Has Madam been informed of the developments regarding the great master's murder?"

Alice cleared her throat, waving a hand telling William to follow her. He calls Helena to watch Axel while he talks to William in the inner room.

Alice takes William to the study downstairs. He closed the door and let William sit in one of the chairs.

All this time, they both realized something was wrong about Anson's death. As Alice acted quickly to find out the infornation was going nowhere, William did the same. It's just that their efforts always meet a deadlock, considering that the enemy they face is not just any enemy.

Right now when Alice starts getting new pieces of clues, she intends to share them with William.

"You remember Aaroon?" ask Alice.

"Yes. The man that the great master mentioned in the last letter to the Madam came. I should've just come to that guy, madam. I wouldn't be able to bear the guilt if something happened to you."

At that time they had a debate. William would not allow Alice to go alone. But Alice is too stubborn to fly to LA and leave William at home. Alice thought it would be best for the butler to remain at home, just in case something happened William could protect Axel and save him. If the two of them left together, Alice felt unsafe leaving Axel unattended.

"I forgot to tell you last night he broke into this house and no one else noticed his presence, including you, William!"

If Aaron alone could break through the security of this house, surely the people who killed Anson could do the same as well. Alice needs to increase security. He had to make William aware of their critical situation.

"I'm sorry for my negligence, ma'am. But I can make sure this house has very strict security. That means Aaron's not a random person."

Alice nodded in confirming. All of Anson's friends aren't random. Even old hermit men like Aaron who lead a life in a dilapidated cottage are still capable of breaking into sophisticated security like Anson's house.

"From now on, increase the security of this house."

William nodded obediently.

"Aaron gave me information that Anson's killer was a group of people with strong protectors. If we force them out, we won't be able to face their protectors."

William nodded again. He could guess all these situations. From the beginning he was looking for information, all the things he encountered just ended up deadlocked. That means, the perpetrators are people who could have been on par with Anson, or even more. If their powers were combined, let alone all of them having powerful protectors, it was impossible for William and Alice to be able to act freely.

"What does he propose for us to do, ma'am?"

William was increasingly aware of the complexity of this problem. Previously he thought Anson's position was strong enough to withstand all the old hostility. But, as strong as one is, there will be even stronger ones. As the proverb reveals that there is still sky above.

The world is wide. Life is big. We're just a pile of dust on a beach. Small-time. Valueless.

Strength is also like that. The size of a person's power is relative. Depends on the scope and where it is located.

Anson used to look strong and hard to beat, but nature showed that he was nothing. There will always be people who are above and greater than us. That is why we are taught to be humble.

Alice has learned to accept all of this. William also learned not to act rashly. The events that befell Anson made them more mature and sorted through each action attentively.

Alice doesn't want to lose anymore. Whenever a person comes into contact with danger and death, he or she will realize as little as what life we have. All of that makes us appreciate life more seconds by seconds.

"Aaron suggested I use Eyes Evil. He said he was the only one who could take out many enemies at minimal risk. By borrowing his hands and name, we don't have to risk being slaughtered by Anson's enemies. No one would dare to look for trouble with Eyes Evil. We have to take advantage of this situation."

William stood up suddenly. The man who rarely displayed these expressions and emotions seemed to disagree with what Alice said. He clenched his hands forming fists on the sides of the body. Alice frowned in surprise at William's reaction. Did he say something wrong?

"You can't do this, ma'am." William looked a little scared.

Eyes Evil is a legendary name. He is someone without a name and without a face that until now many people sought. He exists like a demon. It is like a shadow so it is difficult to guess. Some people called him an angel of darkness.

He is known to be capable of using all types of deadly weapons. Pistols, knives, katanas, and the like. He is also known as a poison master. There is a rumor that this man mastered three types of black belt martial arts. He, another name of the exalted martial king.

Her power is unique and magical. His ability to kill cannot be doubted. In fact, if he wanted to, he could kill with his bare hands. He mastered the acupuncture points so that it can freeze blood or stop the function of the veins in seconds. If he wanted to, he could touch some vital point that resulted in the death of someone.

No one knew the age of the man. Some say he is 25, some are 35, some are 42, some even say 52. It's just the gender that people know. They didn't manage to scrape anything apart from that.

Although his expertise is legendary, William is not too sure using the services of Eyes Evil. That guy is too scary. He had no idea what Evil Eyes would have taken from Alice had he been willing to help.

"Don't use him, ma'am!" William reminded me again.

"There's no other choice, Will. We have to tap into whatever resources we can come across. I'm going to offer Eyes Evil a huge amount of assets so he'll help kill the people who killed my husband." Alice is determined. Both of his eyes were full of hatred. The anger he felt for Anson's killers was already beyond normal limits.

"Madam, did you know he's famous as the most expert killer?" It has become common to know the name Eyes Evil in the dark world.

"I hear so. That's why I want his services."

"He was also known as the killer of beautiful women after he fucked them."
