Chapter 50

It’s going to be okay Anice

The cooperation between the top two Guardians and the sudden disappearance of Mr Big had a huge effect on the company Since then there were no activities and operation popping out froh some tried, they would just be ultimately stooped by Sonic Youth and Slipknot

There was just siuardians and the current members of Crimson The way they deal with incidents was far faster and efficient than before

Until now, Sonic Youth always responded to incidents after they happen Noith Slipknot’s intelligence network, he was able to be at that location before any major incident that could happen

The saoes for Slipknot For some unknown reason, he was able to intercept and foil the plans of Crimson even before they started

These incidents kept happening regularly that it was now a huge risk for Crimson to carry out plans

With such situations occurring, Neito had to be discharged fro’s disappearance, the whole executive staffNeito was no exemption from this The topic would be how to deal with their current situation

Other than Mr Big, there were thirteen other executive staff ards to their importance, but they were currently incomplete Some of thetenon the top of the main office

Thestarted with concerns and complains, but they soon settled down to discuss theone after the other on how to deal with the current situation, of which, one idea got shot down after the other Without Mr Big they were roup that had ideas, but no action

[Nohy did that bastard in black tights act that way?]

[Could Mr Big already have fallen into their hands?]

Neito stared into the room with distant eyes

An idea came forward:

[Why don’t we pullout of New York temporarily?]

But it was rejected Neito also couldn’t agree It was sieneral staff found out about it, there was a chance that an internal turmoil could break the company apart It would be known that Criuardians and they couldn’t keep their territory under control

Also New York was an area they needed to hold on the most

Then a proposal came up:

[We should just find a way for the at their past, is there any way to break them apart?]

This was theto do, but is it really possible? Most off the general public already had a bad i to the public would be futile and just a waste of time Sonic Youth on the other hand was already well known in public There were no particular resente respect for him

Further infor the infore them both

[Then we should prioritize finding Mr Big This is a ti was taken out, it’s our duty as part of the fae him!]

It was a probable cause, but it was very insignificant Every subordinate was already looking for Mr Big through their own means Even Neito was asked to search for hie with (Manhattan)

The saht want to do it, it lies on the factor of gain and loss It ht be different in Metallica, but there was no point in asking “What if we don’t find Mr Big?”

Neito crossed his ar

Everybody already knohat needs to be done… why isn’t anybody bringing it up? Are they afraid of taking responsibility for the idea? Or do they think that they can’t do it?

Before his eyes were the top brass of Cri in a hot headed discussion It felt funny to hireement

Although there was the option of waiting a few

Neito stood up

All eyes in the roo at him The discussion stopped, and the room was filled in silence

Having confirot everybody’s attention, he continued

[We have to defeat them We need to defeat the two of them by our oers]

Neito said it frankly It was their best course of action If they were to withdraw and shoeakness here, Criuardians were involved in Mr Big’s disappearance, then everything would be cleared up once they defeat them

Neito received comments from the executive staff:

[That may be so, but do you kno?]

[It won’t be easy… After all, you uardians there, but you proved to be ineffective when you fought with Slipknot…]

[We understand… Why don’t we form a plan Nate?]

Everythem was not even an option

It wasn’t a case where they just need to hit theather all the ht them both, but there were other “uardians

Considering their position, it would be disadvantageous for Cri of Slipknot, while Sonic Youth, more specifically Mark Gordon, was considered a national asset There were always measures ensured to protect him

[I have an idea… If ere to plan and create a huge incident, they surely would appear]

Neito further explained his plan The room was silent

[Thatwith them?]

[It’s for the best that I take command for the situation on site I’ainst the Rock’s guardians]

[Do you plan on dying? You’re already part of the Family We can’t let a new member of the Family sacrifice himself for us]

Everybody nodded at that notion

I see… so this is the secret weapon Mr Big nurtured… Neito sighed in relief

The chances of hi were very low, even if he failed, there were no consequence to the other executive ed to succeed, it could catapult his career forward Even taking over the company would be possible for hiamble

But the reree with him plan It was because he was part of [The Family] Neito was thankful for the concern, but it was a time when they needed to act

[I thank you from the bottom of my heartBut it’s not all total defeat Will you letcalled me [Hero Killer]… Further the trust the Criiven to me It’s my duty as part of the family]

The room was silent They very well couldn’t oppose to the hot blooded speech Neito had

The executive’s expression changed They no him as their hope, a person they could truly trust

Once person spoke out:

[Even if you say that…]

He wanted to continue, but Neito stared at him directly in the eye

[I will definitely win]

Neito said those word in a fir is out, it’s time to show my initiative…

Those words also came from the bottom of his heart He wanted them to believe in him Believe that he could win It was to a point where an aura of reassurance surrounded him Neito, with his experience, assured the entire room

With Neito’s notion, nobody further opposed hi ended

Fro himself for the fateful day The day they would execute their plans was scheduled tomorrow

Neito had been given a pent-house, few blocks away fro back alone when he looked up and noticed so

[Snow…huh?]

He ondering why it had been cold lately The slow falling snow fell on the busy streets of Manhattan

It was cold, but Neito was perfectly fine with it He tightened his black coat and continued walking

A person was standing at the entrance of his building Wearing a cotton hat and a bright red coat, it was a girl he knew for more than three years

[… Anice?]

Noticing him, she came towards him

[Hey there Nate… Welcome back]

[Were you waiting for me? It must’ve been cold]

[Yeah… just a bit…]

Anice shyly laughed Her nose and cheeks were bright red She probably waited for more than “a bit”

[You seem down]
