The Dragon's Seal: DEATH after LIFE (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 9

Gerson Liorei's POV

"Good evening, Lord Liorei."

"Good evening too, Loco. Have a seat." Sabi ko habang naka-tingin sa mga papers na hawak ko. Studying every single details.

"Ehem. I some some news for you regarding ICU, Lord Liorei."

I nooded, "Proceed." Wika ko at inilipat ang pahina ng papel. This was the summary of all of Aloïsia's informations. Kung saan siya huling nakita, her last victims, people who might be related to her, and more. At sa mga nakikita ko, puro mga naging biktima niya lang ang nakalagay dito. Most of it.

"The Conquerors are complete again. And I've got the moneys for your part." Wika niya na tinanguhan ko lang. He put the suitcase on my table at binuksan. Tumango lang ulit ako.

'...Is the biggest investor in New Hope Hospital and New Hope Orphanage.'

Agad kong pinindot ang intercom, "Arone?"

"Bakit bro?"

"New Hope Hospital and New Hope Orphanage informations. Now." Maotoridad kong sabi at pinutol na ang tawag, "Continue." Tinawag ko ang isa kong tauhan at ipinakuha ang suitcase.

"Uhhm, ehem." Tikhim niya bago umayos ng upo, "And there is something I want to tell you too, My Lord." Wika niya at inilagay ang isang folder sa harap ko. Napa-tingin ako doon bago sa kaniya. Ibinaba ko muna ang mga hawak ko at binuklat 'yon. A picture pinned in folder welcomed me. Nangunot ang noo ko.

"She's Franchetti Xerene Covry. One of the newbies, Tyro-ranked. In her first day, she sent a group of Elites bath in their bloods and a Noble with a broken elbow in the hospital. She freed the Tyros in their misery and slavery. But of course, I didn't let it happen to be just like that. We had a deal. In this coming Second Examination Day, the Tyros should be able to defeat the Nobles. She gave 100 million for her to be a teacher that will teach the Tyros officially. And if she will fail, all of the Tyros will die with her, without restraining. She will give 500 million if they will fail, but if they won, we will be the ones to pay her 500 million." Mahabang paliwanag niya na ikina-tango ko. Nangunot ang noo ko habang naka-tingin sa lalaking---no, this one is a woman. She looked like a guy with that cap and bonet, hiding her hair.

"If that's what she wanted, let her be. But let me be the one to plan everything that will happen in this coming Second Examination Day." Naka-ngisi kong sabi na tinanguhan niya naman. Pina-alis ko na siya sa opisina ko. Kinuha ko ang litrato ni Aloïsia at itinabi sa litrato ng babaeng ito.

"Found yah, Aloïsia. Or should I say,

Franchetti Xerene Covry."

Franchetti Xerene's POV

"RRRRT! 5 LAPS! And---START!" Sigaw ko sa microphone na hawak ko, sapat na para mabingi sila. Dragon grunted first bago nagsimulang tumakbo.

"ANONG INAANGIL-ANGIL MO DYAN, DRAGONA!?" Sigaw ko na nagpa-kunot ng noo niya. Agad kaming nagsamaan ng tingin. Nagtama ang laser beams na lumabas sa mga mata namin (pero syempre jowk lang 'yun).

"D-D-Disaster?" Tawag sa akin ng isang animal kaya agad akong tumingin sa kaniya.

"ANO!?" Sigaw ko ulit na nagpa-pikit sa kaniya, putlang-putla sa takot at nanginginig ang mga tuhod.

"T-Tawag ka po n-n-ni Loco. S-Sa P-Principal's O-Office p-p-po..." Utal niyang sabi na nagpa-taas sa kilay ko. Inilayo ko ang microphone at hinarap siya.
