BLINK - ALL-OUT WAR

War is a serious issue for me and for everybody else if I presume. I have never heard anyone blurting out that word in front of me. When I was a child, I always thought that war between two opposing team is nonsensical and selfish. People doesn't need war. It only brings death and destruction. Life would be peaceful if we accept our differences and live alongside each other. I can't stomach the idea of killing an innocent person just because their not on my side. This upcoming war is going to be brutal. I'm sure of that. My safety will not be guaranteed during the battle. I am a member of Zarakis, but I'm also with Helios.

If there's no other way for this negotiation to end with zero casualties, then I have no choice but to deal with Orlando's irrational plan of breaking his deal with Zarakis. Once a man has finally decided on doing something that he waited for so long to do , he will completely neglect the possible consequences of his actions and the people who he will hurt along the way. He'd surely stomp even his subordinates.

What has truly happened between him and Alberto? I am not asking this to myself because of my mission. I'm curious as hell as to why he resorted on building his own Organization just to crush his former master. His grudge has reached the core of the earth. A very deep and burning hatred towards the person who he once worked under.

I carefully removed the sheath of my Katana, revealing the shiny black blade. Nang mailabas ang espada, pinadausdos ko ang mga daliri ko roon. Sa wakas ay magagamit ko na rin ito sa totoong labanan. But for against who? Zarakis? I despise Bjorn— that's for sure, but it does not mean that I'll betray them by killing some of his men. It breaks my heart to say this, but I'm no longer innocent as I was before stepping in the corrupt side of the world. May pinatay na akong tao. Hindi na ako naiiba sa kanila. I'm no better than them, and it's infuriating.

"Nice katana you got there. Your father made that for you?" Nilingon ko si Jaime na may pinupulupot na boxing bondage sa kanang kamao niya.

I nodded my head in response. "Yeah. He made this for me."

Me and the executives are currently inside of their training ground. Orlando went somewhere to meet with Bjorn and discuss with him his plan of exchanging Ulysses and Yasmin. All of us took this opportunity to train for the upcoming war. Well, he kind of like reminded us to prepare during the meeting, and they were surprisingly obedient towards him.

Ajax is doing a whole body stretch next to me. Him and Filipe will be doing a sparring match inside of the ring in the middle of the training ground. Both of them were experts in Mix Martials Arts. Jaime on the other hand, is an underground boxer in the real world. He has won numerous fights against the contenders from different parts of the world. His profession is something to be scared of. One punch from him and I'd surely be knocked out.

Nilapag ko saglit ang katana sa may mahabang upuan para maayos ang pagkakasuot ko ng fitted gym clothes na ipinahiram sa akin ni Mr. Victor. Narito rin siya ngayon kasama namin upang tutukan ang pag-eensayo naming lahat. Kanina ko lang nalaman ang posisyon niya rito sa Helios. He is the mentor of the executives. He is the one responsible for keeping their health and wealth in tip-top shape at all times. I was speechless of how ripped his body is. Mas malaki pa yata ang pangangatawan niya kumpara kay Ajax. The saying was right. You should never judge the book by its cover.

No one here wields a sword except for me, so whether I like it or not, I have no other choice but to train on my own today. After this, I will also hone my shooting skills. Wala akong problema sa paggamit ng baril. 'Yon ang isa sa mga lakas ko na kaya kong ipagyabang kahit kanino. If it wasn't for the money, I would've taken up Criminology. I wanted to follow my father's footsteps, but you don't always get the things you want if you only offer yourself. Masaya ako sa kursong kinuha ko, at patapos na nga sana ako sa pag-aaral kung hindi lang dahil sa pagpapadampot sa akin ni Bjorn.
