Chapter 32: 32. Fly High Incident: Zhang POV

I was overwhelmed by the power of Holver Arnoa. 

I couldn't believe the legendary assassin was alive. Eleven years ago, he should've died after he was severely wounded in the fight with a powerful hunter. Plus, I heard about his tragic and humiliating ending when he was defeated by a female child in the Freedom City, United Realm. One of the rumors stated the daughter of the Chancellor did it.

I could classify this information as fake now. That girl was a prodigy among the prodigies. Not even comparable to my beloved daughter, Lixue. However, there was no way she could kill a legend. 

Unfortunately, her name was still unidentified. Classified: Unknown.

My intelligence team tried to find out who she was, but all of their efforts failed because of a lack of information. 

His former master had an iron heart, hand of a solid greed and a corrupted knowledge. He was second to none when it came to violence against women and children. But regardless of this behavior, Lord Disaster remained loyal to him until the end. 

I had no idea how did he survive, but if you were a SSS rank hitman or assassin, it would be a piece of cake. 

However, there was something that bothered me too much. He's always acted according to the rules of the criminals. 

One of their rules was: Follow the creed of their clan master. 

"Holver, no, Lord Disaster, it's been a while," I placed a hand on my chest to pay respect. "Hmm?" Holver tilted his head to the side with a confused look. 

'Mmm. It seems he is no longer the same arrogant and conceited person like he used to be. His reaction is an evidence of his change. No, more like he has reached a transcendence at his age. Although he saved my life,  I had a bad feeling about him. More like, I don't want to mess with this guy. I suppose, everyone will feel uncomfortable in this situation. The headmaster of a notorious clan is bowing his head in respect to a legend? That could result for Lord Disaster's head immediate execution by hanging at the public street. But we had no right to do it, it was a shameless act of disrespect of the hero of this organization. Instead of killing him, he should be rewarded. But I heard that giving a gift to this person will never satisfy him,' I was saddened. 

In this situation, I should just keep him company for a bit. 

However, something ain't right about this. 

No matter what I said in mandarin, he didn't even react. It was more like, he didn't want to answer either. 

'Language barrier?' I was perplexed. 

"Lord Disaster, do you understand what I said earlier?" I queried in English. "I'm sorry, but I don't understand it. I apologize. I also want to talk with you, but this young man has zero education in mandarin. I don't mean any disrespect. I'm deeply sorry if I am unable to reply immediately, sir," Holver answered politely. 

'Indeed, that's the reason, huh? It's been eleven years since you stopped talking in mandarin, so you're no longer a native speaker. You hailed in a different environment. In order to adapt, you studied their culture. Ever since you lived in that country, you've forgotten to practice our national language every day. So everything you've learned in China is already gone, huh. What a shame. It can't be helped, I supposed,' I nodded in agreement. 

"I don't mind. You don't have to apologize. So, do you prefer English or Cantonese?" I offered. "English, please," Holver placed his hands behind his waist and stood firm in his position. 

'Oh, no. You even forgot Cantonese, Lord Disaster? How terrible. What kind of life did you suffer to forget it all? You looked young to have a mental disease, though,' I was saddened.

He remained on his spot with a cocked head. 

"Ahem. This is a simple question. Be honest with me. Why did you save me earlier?" I inquired as I adjusted the collar of my attire.  I walked closer to my chair and looked at him with a trust-out chin. "I'm sorry. But I think you misunderstand the situation here. I did not do anything to save you, sir," Holver responded and shook his head horizontally. 

I was bewildered to hear it. 

"What did you say, Lord Disaster? Are you telling me... Are you perhaps planning to kill me? You're here to take my head?" I formed a defensive stance. "Hold up, stop. In the name of God, stop. Wrong. That is wrong. You're very wrong. Don't jump to that conclusion, sir. It is not what you think it is. Calm down a bit. I am not here to take your head. I have no strength to do such stupid move," Holver implored and explained briefly. 

"Then, what is it?" I asked chewing on my lip.  "I have come here to apply for a —" Holver was about to tell his side. However, someone interjected between the lines.

"Boss, are you alright?" Ms. Fredda rushed to my side and scanned my body from head to toe. "I'm fine, Secretary Fredda. I'm very fine," I simpered. 

She heaved a sigh of relief. 

'Since Zuelo died, I could feel my powers coming back slowly. It won't take time for my body to recover fully,' I giggled. 

"Thank goodness, I thought you were dead. The police department and fire department will come here shortly. I will call an escort right away," Ms. Fredda pulled out her tabloid and dialed the shadow clan special units. "Secretary Fredda, tell the others to prepare for my ride. I think I have to pay a visit to my daughter in the Fly High Hotel," I giggled as I rubbed my jaw. 

"Wait, hold up, wait a minute. Something ain't right about it," Holver mumbled. "What do you mean, Lord Disaster?" Ms. Fredda inquired. "Isn't this the hotel? The Fly High Hotel where the US Tech company located?" asked Holver with a shaky tone. "Hoho~, of course not, Lord Disaster. This is not the Hotel you are referring to. As I said before, this is the [Fly High Institute], the hotel is on the other side of this building," Ms. Fredda explained promptly.

"Pardon?" Holver tilted his head to the side. "Ms. Fredda is pointing out that the hotel is on the opposite side of this building, Lord Disaster," I added to clear it. 

'What is he worried about?' I was confused. 

His body was stunned in a few seconds. Then, he slowly raised his hands on his head.

"For fuck sake, no wonder the security guard reacted differently earlier. No wonder he was trying to stop me, but since I insisted to enter this building, he let me in. Good grief. Toby dropped me in the wrong building. Oh God, this is a disaster," Holver hung his head down and his hands compressed his head tightly. "Lord Disaster, is there something wrong?" I quizzed. "Yes, this is a mistake. This event is a mistake. Biggest mistake of your life, everyone. In fact, I shouldn't be here in the first place," Holver shifted his gaze to us with a grave look. 

I gasped upon seeing it. He was like trying to consume us with his intimidating look.

'Zueho said before that he was working with the clan master. Who is this clan master? Why is Lord Disaster working with him? There is only one answer to that. He is a rising star of the shadown realm,' I speculated. 

He gave Zuelo a mission to monitor me, but since he took an initiative to take my life, he sent Lord Disaster to end his life instead. It was truly a judicious motive. But what a terrifying man. He already foresaw the event before it could happen.

'Whoever he is, I have to form a formal connection with his clan master through Holver Arnoa,' I decided firmly. 

"Ahem, we will make sure your involvement will never appear in the reports. You're trying to keep your existence a secret from the eyes of everyone, right? Worry not. Tell to your new clan master. Whoever he is. We won't induce bribery. We won't rat you out, Lord Disaster. Tell him, I really appreciate his help, okay?" I simpered. "C'mon, why are you guys not listening to me properly, huh? As I said before, I am not Lord Disaster, sir," Holver tried to deny it. 

'He's denying it again. Too bad, I won't fall for it. I've seen a lot of you who tried to fake it, you know,' I smirked.

"I know. You're Lord Disaster. We will make sure your name shall remain a secret. Your existence will never be revealed. But regardless of your heroic service, I would like to ask you something very important. May I know what is the name of your clan master, Lord Disaster Holver Arnoa?" I requested, smiling. "It is not Holver Arnoa. C'mon, people. This is making me crazy. I don't even know if you guys are dumb or not. It's Holmer Aldnoa. Hol. Mer. Ald.Noa. It pronounces as Holmer Aldnoa, sir," enunciated Holver promptly. 

'Holmer Aldnoa? So his master is a Holmer Aldnoa, huh,' I rubbed a hand on my jaw. 

"Boss, should I contact this person called Holmer Aldnoa?" Ms. Fredda wrote the name of the new clan master of Lord Disaster. "Don't. We have no right to do so," I stopped her. 

"But boss?" Ms. Fredda insisted. "No, don't write his name. If possible, delete it in your database if you value your life," I declared. 

I saw the face of this Holmer Aldnoa in her tabloid.

His citizenship was Filipino. 

'A Filipino clan master? Is he living in Binondo, Manila? That might be possible. That country is notorious in the eyes of the international crime syndicates,' I contemplated inside my head. 

"Boss, what do you think? This person created an email to our US Tech company, but isn't this abnormal for him to do so?" Ms. Fredda mumbled. "Delete his resume. It is part of his disguise. If he is going to make a reason to fly here to America, he will no doubt use our company's recruitment poster to divert the attention of the world government from him," I responded quietly that only the two of us could hear.

I shifted my gaze at my savior. 

"Lord Disaster, we will make sure to keep everything a secret," I hung my head down in respect. Ms. Fredda followed my example. "No, please. Stop doing that," Holver panicked. 

"My apologies, I should express my gratitude to your master, right? I will make sure. Holmer Aldnoa will receive a heartwarming welcome party in our hotel," I assured. "Pardon? That's not right. Because I am..." Holver stopped upon realizing something. 

'Why is he looking at the ceiling? Is he talking with something invisible?' I was curious.

"Lord Disaster, I will make sure to repay your boss. You don't have to worry about it," I reassured. "No, that's not the point here. Never mind. I... I have nothing to say. Oh, take a look at that. It's about time for me to go home. You don't have to contact me anymore. If you excuse me, I won't ever, ever come back here anymore. Excuse me," Holver exited the room and used the fire exit to go down. 

"Should we follow him?" Ms. Fredda suggested. "No, we don't need to," I refused. 

'This is getting interesting,' I smirked. 

"By the way, make sure to keep this from my daughter, okay?" I commanded. "But the explosion caused a lot of attention to the mass, and it won't take a while before it will be aired in the news, sir," Ms. Fredda worried.

"It is easy to manipulate it. Bribe them. Bribe everyone including the mayor to secure our secrecy. We don't want the world government to track us down in Werrist Town, though,"  I instructed strictly. "Affirmative, sir. I will call my contact in all departments right away," Ms. Fredda nodded and pulled out her phone. 

"Oh, and by the way, before I forgot about this, Secretary Fredda," I called her attention again. "Yes, sir?" Ms. Fredda shifted her gaze at me. 

"Order me a flower and prepare Chinese food since I am going to pay a visit to my daughter's room today," I scratched a hand on my chin. "Noted, sir," Ms. Fredda followed obediently. 

Today was a really interesting day of my life. 

'If my daughter will learn about this, she will no doubt hunt them down. I need to make sure she won't do anything impulsively,' I simpered. 

According to Secretary Fredda, Holmer Aldnoa would pay a visit to the Fly High Hotel. We should prepare a welcome banquet for his upcoming arrival first. 

'Shit, I forgot to ask Lord Disaster for his contact number. Nevermind, he will come back later,' I determined.
