Chapter 2 V-XIII Figure
“He is V-XIII, Sir.”
A man who had been with Julia answered. Of course it still made Julia scared because the mafia boss was still gripping her shoulder quite tightly, and fortunately Julia’s body had been trained to continue to be strong.
The mafia boss immediately glanced at Julia, his fingers still trying to feel Julia’s shoulder. The man’s eagle eyes looked at Julia with a sharp gaze then he released his grip.
Relieved, that’s what Julia felt. Even though her heart had almost stopped beating completely. Cold sweat had started to wet her body, Julia didn’t expect that the gripping aura of the cold-blooded killer was truly terrifying and real.
“He has … he caught a cold, sir.”
Ignoring the man’s words, the mafia boss immediately left and sat back in his chair. Only after that, he watched Julia carefully.
“Mr. Harvey is a very observant person. Why didn’t you say your name earlier?”
Julia immediately turned her head, she didn’t even know that when the man named Kay Harvey came, she had to say his name. Weren’t the other members silent?
“Get some rest, at midnight you will be doing your duties soon!”
“Yes, sir!”
Everyone there left, while Julia was confused about where to go. She immediately followed the man with the ‘A-X’ tattoo continuously, until the man stopped and looked at Julia.
“Have you lost your memory too now?”
“Sorry…”
“That’s your room, V!”
Julia glanced and saw that there was a symbol on each door of the room, and the symbol was exactly the same as every tattoo on the bodies of each mafia member.
Julia nodded again, then she went back to looking for an excuse so that the man would not be suspicious.
“I just want to borrow your underwear.”
“What?”
“Mine is all dirty.” Julia explained.
The man immediately smiled then nodded, went into the room, then came out carrying a towel.
“How about we take a shower together? I think you should scrub my back now.”
Julia swallowed hard, how could she have to take a shower together with a man? Naked together, and ….
“Don’t you know that I caught a cold? Taking a shower at night won’t do me good.”
Julia hurried away, entering her room where it turned out that there were already two other men who had the same initial marks as her. ‘V-XI’ and ‘V-XII’ were really quite annoying.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you scared?”
Julia seemed silent, it seemed she didn’t really understand what her roommate meant.
“Tsk! How would he be nervous, isn’t he always the bait every time there’s a mission?”
Both of them laughed while Julia remained silent. Was the identity of the man she was imitating a pathetic mafia figure?
“I just found out that there was a stupid mafia like him, and Mr. Harvey still hired him, and—”
One of the men’s words were cut off when Julia put his head in a vice-like grip, kicking the other man’s chest until he fell to the floor. Julia looked at both of them with a very stern look, then she smiled a death smile.
“Never underestimate me, as long as you are unable to defeat me!”
After saying that, Julia entered a cubicle in the room, then she took a deep breath. It was really unexpected that she had to get unpleasant treatment here.
“Who is he? Why is little V so strong now? Wasn’t he very weak before? Let alone hitting us, he couldn’t even break a stick?”
“I don’t know either, he suddenly changed. Even though it was clear, the last time I met him he was still begging me to get leniency from Mr. Harvey so that he wouldn’t be used as bait in this case.”
“Did he take a supplement? Or implant a chip in his brain?”
Julia now understood, it turned out that the man whose identity she stole was the weakest man in all the mafia members, no wonder so many people felt strange about her. Julia hurriedly changed clothes, then she saw one of the empty beds, she hurried to sleep. The other two men didn’t even have the courage to really reprimand Julia now.
Meanwhile on the other side, Kay who had felt that there was something strange with one of her mafia members remained silent. How could it not be? The man who had always been weak if his shoulder was touched would immediately bend over in pain, so how could the man suddenly become strong and mighty? The man even straightened his back and strengthened his muscles as if he was going to challenge Kay.
Kay’s jaw tightened trying to think. He closed her eyes perfectly. Seeing the gaze of little V, it was truly something very strange and odd.
“Mr. Harvey, there is something I want to tell you, and it is something very strange.”
Kay who saw two of his members coming with frightened expressions and bruised faces frowned.
“Say it.”
“It seems that Little V has made some changes to himself, Sir. He suddenly became so very strong and he was even able to beat us up like this.”
Kay raised an eyebrow, what unique news. This was something that was completely unimaginable that little V was even able to do something like this.
“Okay…” Kay paused, then he took another sip of his half-left cigar. “Let’s prove it tomorrow, whether our Little V is capable of being a good bait for us.” With a wide smile, and crossing his legs, Kay exhaled a puff of smoke from his nose and mouth, he wanted to see how far Little V’s figure had changed overnight or was Little V now a different person from Little V before?
And midnight arrived, all the mafia members prepared and gathered in one place. Julia began to follow what they were doing, pulling a large tarpaulin that covered five container trucks that contained opium and illegal weapons. Julia swallowed hard, never once in her work had she seen that much opium and illegal weapons. Until finally someone pushed Julia and that made Julia very surprised.
“Little V, hurry up and go to your place!”
Julia fell silent again, she was confused and tried to digest the words. A large wooden ship began to dock at the pier with very real smoke. Everyone there crowded carrying crates of all their loot to board the ship where the ship was already filled with people with long-barreled guns.
Julia’s body jerked when A-X immediately dragged her onto the ship, then he told Julia to stand on a place where there was a skull symbol underneath.
“Forgive us, Little V, who knows what your fate will be after this, at least I am quite happy to be friends with you.”
“W… what do you mean?”
Julia’s foothold immediately opened causing Julia to fall so clearly under the ship, Julia’s eyes bulged perfectly seeing two sharks circling around her. Julia who panicked looked up but the hole was already tightly closed. Julia swallowed hard, she began to tremble with fear. She saw a letter in her shirt pocket, she opened the letter and with minimal lighting Julia saw a secret message.
“Take the key from the shark’s stomach, if you succeed then you will get a big prize.”
Julia shook her head, how could she take a key from the stomach of a giant shark that would definitely eat her alive? In fact, it wasn’t the shark who will die, but Julia.
“No!”
Julia screamed hysterically, she started to get scared especially when the two sharks started to realize Julia’s presence and swam quickly towards Julia.
Julia widened her eyes, she was sure that this time she would definitely… die!
