RAIN'S POV

"I still can't believe it. That dude is a Supreme? A legit Supreme? Kill me."

"Stop whinning Cliff, get down to business," I said as I opened the door to the surveillance office. "Have you recovered all the footage?" He nodded. "Except that Thanatos whom you just called Supreme. I just can't think that he's a Supreme. Does it make any sense?" There he goes again.

Harry tapped his back while shaking his head. "Let it go Cliff. Let it go." We reviewed all the possible footages that may have had my face and probably shut some surveillance that had it totally. "I think we have a problem," Harry said while looking at the hologram. This shit just wouldn't end.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Dude, where the f—ck are you?" sambit ni Rude sa kabilang linya ng telepono pagkasagot na pagkasagot ni Lance. "I went home. Ki said it was urgent so I left. Why? What's the matter?" He feign ignorance to the fact that he knew what just happened and that was there. He just can't believe what he just figured. "There has been a commotion. The Clovers were here," he explained. I know.

"Ace. Where is he?" Lance suddenly asked. "Ace? I don't know. He left the moment my car was stolen. F*ck. Now that I think about it, where's that b*tch? I won't just let her go just like that." He could feel the raging anger of Rude. Then, he realized the car might have been towed awhile ago. "Yeah. I'll talk to you later. Ki's looking for me." Lance stated and ended the call.

"What did he said?" Alex asked. Rude looked at the direction of Ki who was walking in a fast pace towards the other direction than the exit. "He said Ki was looking for him," Rude said as he tightened his grip to his phone. Their eyes looked at her and back to Rude knowing already what was going on. "We need to find Ace," Alex said. They took their cars and drive to the possible place Ace might be, although unsure if he was really there.

Just as Lance was about to leave, the door opened and a sudden punch was thrown to his face. Napaatras siya at tinignan ng masama kung sino ito. "What the f*ck?" he exclaimed. Ace didn't care and tried to give him another smack but Lance was able to block it using his arms and when he got the chance, he punch his stomach.

They were fighting until both of them was exhausted and lying on the floor. Blood, sweat and bruises were evident from them. "When will you tell me?" Ace stated while panthing. Lance hesitated for once in his lifetime. He never hesitated before. But now, it was different. Ace took something out from his pocket and threw it to Lance who struggled to sit but he did. He reached out for the phone and saw what was in there.

He looked at Ace but didn't say anything. "Are you afraid that I might steal your rank?" He said and pulled his body up to sit. "Is that why you have to hide it for all these years?" He said with a hint of disappointment in his voice but he tried not to reveal it. "Just tell me one thing."

Lance looked at him and tried to figure out what he's thinking. "Did you know who was the five-star Supreme?" he asked. For the first time Lance could hear his heart beat so fast, nervous that he might figure who it was. "No," Lance answered as he got up and walk away leaving Ace behind. However, within just two steps the sound of a dagger that flung at his right ear to the cabinet in front of him.

"Consider yourself lucky. You know I never miss a shot," Ace warned as he threw a dagger at his phone. He stood up and left. Lance couldn't think of anything right now. His cover was revealed not just to his friend, but also to the woman who captured his heart which turned out to be the person Ace was looking for, who was pretending to be the new girl that Ace liked. His head hurts just by thinking about it. He looked at the dagger that was stuck on the cabinet and felt his ear a little hot. When he caress it, he felt blood, a scratch from the dagger. Before he could think, he needs to tidy himself up.
