" Well, what can I call you?" Hidoi asked. He was eager to know the masked man's name, excited out of his mind. The masked man below the mask was smiling, but how could he reveal his name so easily? Like Hidoi didn't. " Say it! I wanna know!" He was too excited but was also ready to be disappointed. " Fine, you won, but you also lost. You didn't tell me your name, so I ain't gonna say mine but...I guess...you can call me...47[1].

" I guess I know one who can help us, Kyra." Both were at their house, still planning what to do. Both were in their room, and they were no longer naked. Kyra was taking a gun, which was below the mirror behind the photo of her family. She lifted the gun and looked at it, her heart was throbbing with each second, looking at the gun. It had some connection with Kyra.
" Albert? Didn't he betray us?" Asked Kyra while still looking at the gun. Her skin below her eyes was very dry, proof that she had cried for some time. Aldred," Yeah, but remember that he hasn't yet paid his debt, we can blackmail him and get info out of him".
Albert was a guard of the prison located inside the Taka Castle. Was it a keyword, as he has left that job; instead, he joined Kyra and Aldred's company. Yeah, they started a company called Loan.co. As the name suggests, it is a company that provides loans; in turn, it is a bank.
Albert took a few loans from Kyra and couldn't return them, so he instead joined Kyra's dirty work, killing or torturing people to repay their debt. After some time, he decided to leave Loan.co and instead worked for a rival company, leaking all the dirty secrets of the company. In turn, he betrayed Kyra and Aldred.
" How can we trust him, though?" Asked Kyra, keeping the gun in her right-hand holster. She was genuinely asking this question; it was a genuine doubt she had. Aldred wasn't sure either, but there was a sense of belief that he could help them, having been their partner. " Look, love him or hate him, there is a chance that he could help us with this matter, as he has been our partner once, and also the fact that he has worked with Taka for many years".
He was not sure whether he was right or wrong, but that sense in his heart was enough to do this. Kyra was also starting to get onto his plan," So, how are we going to find him? Isn't that a good doubt coming from me?" Asked Kyra as she was pretty optimistic about all of this project, she didn't want to kill any person, but this plan would lead her to do it.

" So, how is life right now?" Asked 47 to Hidoi. Both were in a secret room where only 47 could enter. He called Hidoi for some reason, and Hidoi was himself pretty unsure. Hidoi would of course reply that he is good, it is the best response that he can come up with. " Look, you know that I am good, there is no doubt in that, but what's the reason, why so sudden? I was talking to Indhra, that's when your messenger called me. No offence, it's just odd." 47, even though he was wearing a mask, looked sad. Hidoi was surely confused and also concerned for 47.
" I just want to end the war, end all this chaos in one shot, but what if the opponent didn't agree with me? Do I have a choice?". Hidoi was not shocked, as he had expected this to be the cause of the call. " Heard of it, so, what do you think Akuma will say about this?" 47 from inside the mask showed empathy while speaking, his eyes saying everything. " Invade them, destroy them, and achieve peace. That's the only sensible thing he will think of."
Hidoi was again not surprised, as he was expecting something like that to occur in Akuma's brain. He replied nonchalantly, the most bizarre one," Do what he says, that too if you will not, he can take some measures". 47 looked at him while Hidoi was saying that. 47 was surprised; it was evident through his eyes that he didn't expect a reply like that from Hidoi, as he was a naive child from his perspective. Hidoi continued," I guess it's time you have to say this news to Akuma." 47 knew that he had to do it, but he didn't want to.
" I want to let them live until our plan has been achieved, then their death will be meaningful". Hidoi was stunned for a second there. What plan, what was he talking about? These thoughts followed through his mind like they were a spirit trying to capture his mind. Hidoi thought for a second," If there is a plan, what plan, and why didn't he say it to me? It's not so unusual he does this". 47 quickly tried to recover even though Hidoi said nothing," It's nothing, stop man-handling your brain." He then stood up from his bench and said," Come on now, we have to go to Akuma."
********
It was morning around 7:00 am, that's when Kyra and Aldred decided to execute their plan to find Albert, and it was Amanda herself. She was the one who found Albert and tried to help him in his crisis. But how will they find where Amanda is? It's pretty obvious. They have no need to fin her instead they can just call her to any place to meet them as they were close friends. That's why they were at the Central Taka Park, which is at the centre of the Taka kingdom and is close to Amanda's house.
" Ahh, this calls me the days when we used to come here every day." Says Aldred. They were both sitting on a double bench in front of which there was a fountain pumping water at great force. They were surrounded by trees and small bushes, which had pink coloured Carnation flowers on them; these were located beside Kyra's side. Beside Aldred's side, there was a lavender flower.
" Does it? I don't remember anything like that, though," Says Kyra bluntly without thinking what the other person even thinks. Aldred gives a side eye with a disappointment on his face, who would not be if you have such an emo girlfriend. " Ok, my lady, I will stop". Kyra lifts her right hand to see electric sparkles appear out of nowhere.
