AS 01: Agent Uno | Cathleen Valecerina

"Yes, Cathleen, the monster you've been hunting for two decades is same as your boyfriend's father." He explained and it shocked every shit out of me. Naramdaman kong nanginig ang mga tuhod ko ngunit pinilit kong labanan iyon at tumayo parin ng tuwid.

"Let me formally introduce myself to lessen your shock." Aniya nang hindi ako sumagot dahil abala ako sa pagpapakalma ng sistema ko upang makapag-isip ako ng maayos.

"I am the great Clerivious Minreal, former head of the intelligence department of Mi Valor and now the head of Vengar." Ani nito na mas lalong ikinagulat ko.

Inside the organization, there was a name no one dared to talk about, and it was the former head of the Intelligence department before the Yvions took over. Yvion is also a family who works hand in hand with the Valencerinas, Organos, and the name no one dared to talk about. Dada told me it was the organization's darkest days. After they resolved the matter, he ordered everyone not to dare talk about it again, or else it would be the worst-case scenario for them.

"Y-you are the one they didn't dare to name for almost two decades?" I whispered, and Clerivious clapped his hands in enthusiasm. Parang tuwang-tuwa pa itong malaman ang sinambit ko.

"Sabi ko na nga ba, hindi bobo ang anak ni Claudio. Kaya pala hindi niyo mapatay nung pinapabura ko sa inyo." Aniya sa mga tauhan niya habang ako naman ay naguguluhan parin dahil maraming kakulangan sa nalalaman ko. Pero hindi iyon ang importante ngayon, ang importante ay makaalis ako rito ng buhay at makabalik agad sa headquarters.

"Ganun kabobo ang mga tauhan mo." Ani ko bigla gamit ang lahat ng tapang na natitira sa sistema ko. Napatingin tuloy ito sa akin at nanlilisik na ngayon ang mga mata.

"Oh look, the little devil's got her courage now." Aniya at humakbang palapit sa akin.

"Kaya mo na kayang patayin ang gumahasa sa nanay mo at sumunog sa tatay mo ng buhay, Valencerina?" paghahamon nito at imbes na sumagot ay inihanda ko ang sarili ko sa pagsugod.

"Lalaban ka talaga? Sa numero pa lang dehado ka na, paano ka lalaban?" ani na naman nito sa akin kaya tumingin akong muli sa kaniya na may nanlilisik na mga mata.

"Stop talking and let's fight Clerivious, you son of a bitch." Ani ko. Wala akong pakialam kung tatay ni Zealous itong kaharap ko dahil isa lang ang nasisiguro ko. Isa rin itong halang ang bitukang kailangan burahin sa mundo.

"Your wish is my command." Ani nito habang umaatras. As I expected, the leader always protects himself and backs away while his goons will be the ones to do the job and be on the frontline. Gawain lang ito ng mga duwag na katulad niya.

His goons started to attack me and that's when the fight started. Noong una paisa isa lang umaatake at napapatumba ko pero habang tumatagal ay parami na ng parami kaya pahirap ng pahirap ang laban.

During the fight, I'm only using my precious daggers while they are also using their sharp tools. Wala sa mga galamay ni Clerivious ang may dalang baril, tanging mga patalim lamang ang bitbit ng mga ito. Suntok, sipa at atake gamit ang patalim ang mga sunod na naganap at hindi pa naman ako napupuruhan ng matindi nang malapit ko nang makalahati ang pagpapatumba sa napakaraming tauhan nitong si Clerivious. I thought I could win because I've almost beaten half of them with the concentration I have but I was wrong when Clerivious spit something which ruined it.

"Ako rin nga pala ang pumatay kay Mirina Laylah Asuncion, your dear personal doctor. How did I kill her? I abducted her when you were sleeping peacefully with my son. Clistherio's triplets tried to save her but failed because I was faster to act. I knew they'd use her as bait, so I just abducted and killed her instead." He announced it like it was the funniest story of his life, making me snap out of everything.
