THIRD PERSON

Geometry's forehead knotted in unexplainable irritation when he saw his system getting breached with a virus. His system was throwing a digital tantrum, sassily sidestepping firewalls and treating those defenses like mere decorations on paper.

"What the hell is a Tenth Commandment Virus?" He cursed. On his blacked-out screen, he can only see the words 'Tenth Commandment Virus' written in a bloody red font that entails murder.

"Oh, come on!" He rolls his eyes in frustration. The virus spreads, playfully corrupts files, and breaks through security barriers. It was cunning enough to replicate itself whenever he tried to fix it.

"That petty scoundrel!" He hissed. Of course, he knew who sent that virus. It was no other than the Italian asshole. He can fix the breach in his system, sure. A small malware is not that hard to correct, but he's too lazy to find it, knowing there are layers and layers of security systems he designed!

"Initiating protocol: The Crown of Europe commanded the deployment of an unmanned aerial vehicle to execute a strike at specified coordinates." He stood up, confused by the sudden caution from Diamond. This was the first time Kage ever made a strike in history.

"Who's the target?" Even Zeeshan couldn't help but ask. He was delivering food when he got an alarm from his smartwatch. Nakakapagtaka lang na tirik na tirik na nga ang araw may bungo pa siyang papasabugin.

"Target identified: Belladonna Del Piero, daughter of the Hydra's Don." Yulan nearly fell off the horse when he heard the AI's response.

"Under what circumstances is he planning to murder her?" Hindi nito maiwasang tanong bago pakalmahin ang kabayong sinasakyan.

Diamond is an AI personally built by Geometry with the help of the former Dons. It stands for Divisional Intelligence and Asset Management for Organized Network Domination. It is used to aid them in their operations, and only the dons of Quartet Federation have access to use and command them.

Diamond's system runs through the four of them. This means if one of them tried to make a move, the others would also be informed. And although they don't really give a fuck if Kage would kill the daughter of the don who belongs to their long-time enemy called Five Rings, it would only mean he was declaring war with them.

Hindi naman na bago yun. The members of Five Rings have tried to assassinate him many times in a month, pero dine-deny nilang sila ang may gawa no'n dahil sa peace treaty na nilagdaan ten years ago. They could try to run ammock and deny them as long as walang naiwang ebidensya. But this bold move by Kage, everyone will be aware of this. Ipapamukha nilang sila ang naunang lumabag sa treaty.

"Uhmm. I don't have a beef with her, so why would I kill her?" Bulalas ni Sachal habang nakatingin pa rin sa hologram kung saan nakikita niya si Belladonna.

"If you kept her alive, there's a big chance she will gift you a bomb at your wedding." Napahilamos ng mukha ang dalaga. That's what she was thinking. Kung totoo ngang baliw na baliw ang babae kay Salvatore ay malamang gagawin niya ang lahat para hindi matuloy ang kasal nila.

Ano laban niya sa babaeng yun? E mukhang bomba at granada kinakain no'n araw-araw.

"And my associates just informed me she sent people to kill your family." Dahang-dahan siyang napalingon kay Keegan na may blankong ekspresyon sa mga mata. "But you don't have to worry, they were taken care of." He assured.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She clenched her fist and nods. "Diamond, activate instant kill." As soon as she said those words, the countdown began.
