The Rhyme of the Depositary

024 - SEASON 2

Alice sat in the backyard with a novel on her lap. He spent over half an hour in this place and was immersed in the story of historical romance. On his side, a portion of snacks he had taped up. It's a little hot this afternoon. Alice wears a short t-shirt and short denim pants.

After feeling bored, Alice again entered the house with lazy steps. Axel was playing in the park with Helena. No one can dispel Alice's boredom this afternoon.

Lately Alice often delegated her work to employees. Since Anson's death, he has lost much of his focus on taking care of business. It was time for her to find information about her husband's death.

Now, after he managed to get to know Klayver and form a partnership with him, Alice was already accustomed to delegating her business. He is now relaxed at home. If there is an important situation, he just monitors it directly. Boredom often caught on to him.

In the living room, Alice crosses paths with Klayver and William. It seems like they just finished talking about something. Alice smiled slightly, not wanting to disturb them.

"Alice. I want to talk to you" Klayver said.

"Oh, I think you still need to talk to William." Alice looked at the two men in front of her.

"I'm done with him."

Alice nodded in understanding and followed Klayver upstairs. The man led them to the room.

Despite these six days Alice slept in a room with Klayver, but they kept each other at a distance. Especially Alice. So entering the room together with Klayver during the day was enough to make Alice feel awkward.

"What's Klayver?" alice asked sitting on the dresser chair. He looked at Klyaver carefully. This man, still gave off a powerful aura.

"Today I want to take care of my business. You know that I'm a fugitive, right?" Klayver brought up this topic. He wanted to show Alice the truth. The woman needs to be vigilant.

"Yes. But didn't they still manage to attribute that Evil Eyes to you, did they?" Alice asked back.

Klayver nodded small to justify. Alice's memory is quite sharp. Not bad.

"Yes. But I need to clean up some people. As long as I'm gone, be careful of the people around you."

"What do you mean, Klyaver?" alice asked not to understand.

"You mean your enemy can be anyone. Keep secrets. Don't let anyone know that I'm Eyes Evil. Remember Alice, don't spread it about the tattoos I have."

Alice rubbed her temples. He did not know whether the warning Klayver gave was a form of vigilance or a form of condescension to Alice. For whatever sake Alice knew that Klayver's secret was a secret she would carry to death. The man did not need to remind her of that.

"I'm not a fool, Klayver." Alice inflamed. He was really upset to hear that.

"I know, but you sometimes act out of control." Klayver said flatly. He turned around and walked out of the room. Alice followed him from behind.

Fucking Klayver. Alice really had no value in her eyes. Alice's emotions got worse as they arrived on the first floor. They passed through the hallway to the front room.

"Hi, Alice!"

Alice was surprised to hear the greeting from a very familiar voice. He saw Daniel walking with a radiant face towards him. The man looked at Alice and Klayver alternately.

"Hi, Daniel. You didn't tell me you were going to visit my place today." Alice's face warmed up to see Daniel's beautiful smile that was as beautiful as spring.

"Ohoho I'm too busy with my business. Thisisyour husband? Hey, bro, I'm Daniel Stranger." Daniel greets Klayver, offers a handshake.

Klayver's aura turned cold in an instant. He looked at Daniel with illegible eyes. Alice did not understand the reaction Klayver gave. Many times the man is not predictable at all.

"Klayver Vaquez," he greeted her flatly, receiving Daniel's handshake.

"By the way, congratulations on your marriage. I'm not bringing anything now. But I'll send you a present later." Daniel felt a little guilty.

"Alright Daniel.What's wrong. Come in and let me pursue you properly," bargained Alice kindly.

Daniel nodded, relieved.

"I'm out first." Klayver passed from them with quick steps.

Daniel shakes Alice's hand. He glanced at Klayver without a sound. It was as if to say that Alice's husband was quite unique.

"Where did you get that cold husband? Your taste is pretty weird, Alice." Daniel rolled his eyes not understanding.

Anson used to. Now Klayver. Women's mindsets are strange.

"Love no one knows where to dock, right?" Alice answered skeptically. Pretending to make himself upset.

"alright. Don't talk about love." Daniel waved his hand, feeling annoyed.

"alright. Alright. Tell me what you're doing so that even at my wedding and Rachel's wedding, you're not there?"

Daniel sits in the middle room chair, asks Alice for a coffee and starts explaining things. His face is a little depressed. It seems that the burden he carried was quite heavy.

"I'm looking for someone, Alice. This time it was quite difficult," Daniel explained feeling helpless.

The Queen's been pushing him lately. He wants immediate results. Daniel's head seemed ready to break whenever asked about the development of the search that the woman asked for.

Looking for evil eyes was not something light. Wrongly, his life could have been lost. Daniel had to be careful for every action he took.

"Someone?" Alice asked in surprise. Since when did Daniel switch professions looking for missing persons? That's a little bit unexpected.

Daniel laughed at Alice's surprised reaction. "It's a big project, Alice. I'm looking for someone. But it's very difficult."

Alice shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to know more. If Daniel's too crazy looking for someone's whereabouts, yeah.

"Alright, Daniel. Don't talk about it anymore." Alice laughed a little.

Daniel looked at Alice with a tired look. This project has exhausted all the energy and resources he has. If the figure he is looking for does not go to meet, it's good he gave up and handed this job to others.

"You don't know, Alice. The person I'm looking for is really very important." Daniel smiled a little.

Seeing the seriousness in her friend's eyes, Alice was curious. Who is the one who has Daniel this big?

Daniel turned to Alice seriously. He was wondering if it was okay to give this information.

Given that Alice is his friend, someone who is quite trustworthy and will not be easy to uncover secrets, Daniel decided to tell her.

"Someone who has the nickname Eyes Evil. He's a hit man who's on the run from a lot of parties. Unfortunately, no one knows who Eyes Evil really is. The only clue I have is a special tattoo of three pairs of yin and yang symbols with dragons in between."

Alice suddenly flinched. His tongue feels ugly. What he had just heard from Daniel, managed to tear apart his consciousness.

So all this time Daniel became one of the parties who hunted Evil Eyes? It's lucky he doesn't know who Klayver really is.

Alice's hand turned tense. He began to be wary of all of Daniel's actions. Daniel's figure immediately became blurred. Alice put up a firm line between them.

"Alice, are you okay?" daniel asked worried.

"Yes. Yep. I ... I'm just a little surprised that you dared to look for information on the whereabouts of the hit man." Alice stuttered a little. He stood up awkwardly and walked around the room.

Klayver has said there are insiders to watch out for. Could that mean Daniel? If true, at the moment they should keep their distance.

"You don't worry too much, Alice. I'll be fine." Daniel convinced his friend. He felt sorry for sharing this serenity of information. It seemed that Alice was quite disturbed after hearing that.

"alright. I believe you." Alice gave a small nod, trying to eliminate the small awkwardness that had been created.

Inwardly, Alice was thinking about how to cover up the facts about Klayver from Daniel. He still doesn't know what Daniel's purpose is to find information. What is clear, someone who is trying to uncover the figure of the evil eyes is a person that should be aware of Alice.

Alice plans to pry into Daniel's goals as to why he wants information about Eyes Evil. But seeing the grim look on Daniel's face, he abandoned his intentions. Daniel is a very sensitive person. If Alice undermines her too much with questions, Alice fears Daniel will be suspicious of her.

"Alice, are you happy with this marriage?" daniel suddenly asked about something beyond Alice's expectations.

Alice again flinched. His hands suddenly stiffened. This question feels a little overwhelming. In fact, Daniel never threw questions like this when he was married to Anson.

"Of course, Daniel. What's up?" Alice asked suspiciously.

Daniel pulled the tip of his lips forming a small smile. He patted Alice on the shoulder familiarly.

"No. I just don't want you to make a choice that you'll regret for the rest of your life."

That's the only reason Daniel gave me. There was nothing she wanted except Alice's happiness. Ever since she got to know Alice, the only thing that was a top priority was to make Alice happy. No more suffering.

Alice saw the sincerity that emanated clearly from Daniel's eyes. The man had been there for a long time. The care he gave Alice was natural.

Alice gave a small sigh. He felt awkward looking at Daniel's eyes this warm. Inwardly, he was afraid that Daniel's feelings for him were still not lost. If so, it must have been quite excruciating for Daniel to keep this feeling for so long and just clap one hand.

"Daniel," call Alice down.

"Yes?" Daniel answered equally.

This woman once had a wonderful story with her. The story they formed when they were young.

Had Daniel been able to maintain their relationship, he might have been able to match Alice as his wife.

Such presuppositions always make Daniel want to go back in time and improve their relationship. Whatever he'll give to this woman. Alice's breath was already half her life. It was hard for Daniel to get away from this woman.

"Can you stop the search for Evil Eyes? Honestly, I don't want you to have anything bad about your search."Alice said what she was.

He doesn't want Daniel and Klayver to have a clash. He wanted to keep the two people in their respective paths and not hurt each other.

Klayver is a pretty ruthless guy. If he knew he was being hunted, the man would definitely not hesitate to finish off whoever was hunting him. Here, Daniel is the vulnerable side to get hurt. Imagining Daniel like that made Alice feel uncomfortable.

"Can't, Alice. I promised someone. I will keep looking for him" replied Daniel firmly. He obviously cannot be denied.

Alice took a heavy breath. Things are getting complicated. He felt helpless. Daniel and Klayver were like two people walking in one small lane and ready to collide. Just wait for the time the bomb between them to explode.

Imagining it all happening, made Alice feel nauseous. He closed his eyes hiding helplessness. Lord, Daniel was his friend and one of the people who meant a lot to his life. Her heart was also cut if anything bad happened to her.

"Alice, are you okay?" Daniel was worried again.

"I'm doing fine. Just a little tired, maybe." Alice smiled. Thinking about this matter made his mental state weaken. Daniel and Klayver's shadow alternately flashed in his shadow.

Oh God. No more tragedy in his life.

"alright. You better get some rest early, Alice. I'll go first. There's a job waiting for me." Daniel stood and said goodbye with lightning. Alice could only nod with a slightly pias face. He escorted Daniel to the front door and saw the departure of his friend's car until it disappeared from view.

After Daniel's death, Alice stood long on the porch. He's daydreaming something. Thought garbled. His instincts felt that there would soon be a problem.

Shortly after, Axen and Helena return from the park. The boy looks exhausted after playing and falls asleep in Alice's arms as Alice takes over her son.

Axel was one of the things that made Alice's life feel calm. She was the grip that Alice relied on as she slumped in pain. This kid is only five years old. But its value is irreplaceable.

Alice places Axel in the nursery and covers him with a lenbut patterned character. He smiled slightly and peeked at the top of his son's head.

Tired, Alice followed Axel's lead. He immediately went to the room and laid himself on the bed. For a moment, Alice let her mind wander. He closed his eyes, fleeing in a dream world.

Time passed quickly. It was not felt, when Alice opened her eyes the day had already afternoon. He was surprised to find Klayver had been standing not far from his side. The man's face looked dark.

Alice wanted to ask, but seeing the aura that Klayver carried made her undo her intentions. This aura is like .. the aura of a killer.

Fear began to seep into Alice's heart. He cleared a little, got up from a sleeping position. His eyes were still flushed from having just woken up. Klayver looked at Alice with awkward eyes.

What the hell is it?

"Who is Daniel? Did you know he's one of the people trying to uncover my true identity?"

…
