Chapter 33: Pyramid

Raine lifted an eyebrow as she was thinking. She could clearly tell what was going inside the old man's head. It was way too easy for her to play along with his games.

She gave him her usual trademark poker smile as she casually said, "Sure. You can get him anytime you want him back, Uncle. That is… if he ever wants to go back to you. You know me, I always keep whatever catches my eyes, and this Tyrone happened to catch my very picky eyes." 

She clicked her tongue and, with a pout, complained, "You're such a bully, Uncle. Why bother to give him to me if you plan on taking him back this quick? Are you trying to play tug of war with me, huh?"

Yun did not reply to her comments but just stared at Raine. He tried to read her expression like he always used to do, but his niece was very tough to read, as he had expected. She was very playful, and Yun knew how tricky Raine could get. It was really frustrating for him on his end.

"By the way, I will leave this afternoon. I will finish the mission in country D so you won't nag me about it every time you see me," Raine informed, changing the boring topic her uncle had started.

"That's good. Will you bring Tyrone with you? I honestly don't know if you can trust him enough, but I believe he will have a lot of use there with you after reading his credentials. I think he is capable and good at handling situations like our operations," Yun encouraged.

"Yeah, he's my bodyguard now, so I intend to always keep him with me. He looks fun, so I'm definitely going to be giving you a gift showing my earnest gratitude if his presence doesn't bore me."

Yun shook his head as his lips curled in a faint smile. He had closely watched how Raine grew up under his brother Marcus's supervision, and yet he still couldn't get used to how she behaved like she was a child even up to now. He was aware of a lot of things, like Raine's real identity and her history. Things that not even Raine knew about herself because Marcus had kept everything a secret from her, and Yun intended to spill the beans once his brother failed to wake up from his sleep.

"You are aware of the current situation in country D, right?" Raine asked.

"About the mess that the Earth Clan has been creating? Well, I just recently heard about it," Yun casually replied.

There were three clans in the MIRAGE. They would be best described as the three sides of a pyramid for this secret underworld organization. The Earth Clan was on the top, while the Sun Clan and the Moon Clan symbolized the two sides at the bottom part, completing the pyramid diagram.

Each Clan had outposts worldwide, and they had a law and order that each clan strictly followed because if they didn't, they had to stand in the Mirage Court and be judged. The Earth Clan held the highest position as the head Clan of the Mirage based on votes from the Council every ten years.

"The Earth Clan is bound to be doomed very soon because of the family feuds in their clan. The new ruler of the Earth Clan was bold enough to even run for the post of president this election," Yun commented with a smirk.

"Ah, yeah, I heard about it, Chad Quan. He's very young but very good at speeches and taking action," Raine commented. "That man hid at country D as a bodyguard of the country's Field Marshal's daughter for a long time using a different identity. I guess he's now back for good to reorganize their clan and fix our hopeless country."

Yun scoffed and mockingly said, "For all we know, he could be the one leading all the messes in this country, including the terrorism at country D. If he continues his work, the Council will soon request the Earth Clan to step down from their position as the main head of the Mirage Group."

"And you believe that the Moon Clan will then rise above in that pyramidal position, right? Don't you smell something fishy? Why would they deliberately show the cyclone marks that symbolize their clan in every mess they create? It's like they're telling the world that they are responsible for all of these messes and that they are criminals. That's just a foolish move so I doubt that the Earth Clan was doing it," Raine postulated. 

She had heard that the Council would soon discuss this matter and that an investigation would be conducted to discover the truth further. Raine had been closely monitoring the issue because she wanted to know whether her father or uncle Yun had any involvement in these cases.

Raine was perfectly aware of how far her father's greed for power could extend. Uncle Yun was the same. Either he had acted on his own volition or followed instructions that were given to him way before her father fell into a coma.

Yun's face darkened at her comment, but he quickly changed his expressions as he commented, "Or they're probably just showing their true colors. Be careful with your words, Raine, and don't even think that our Clan has something to do with it or that we are framing the Earth Clan."

"Relax, Uncle… Why are you putting words in my mouth when I haven't even mentioned that our Clan could be the one doing it? Why? Is it a frameup? Are we responsible for the frameup? Was this father's instruction before he became comatose?"

Yun's facial muscles flinched as he growled, "No, we have nothing to do with it. So stop making stupid assumptions like that! It's probably the rebel members inside the community of Earth Clan."

Raine no longer pressed further, but she now knew exactly what was happening in her head. That was the reason she had to go back to country D.. Not to follow her father and uncle's orders, but to fix everything and get things back in order while her father was still sleeping… while she still had the time to make everything right.
