Chapter 142 Making Plans (1/2)
Nitocris sighed.
It had been a shock to him to discover that ”Ice” was actually Kyle. He had kept records of all the promising men in the Underground, and Ice had been identified. The problem was, the young boy was a lone wolf and would not participate in any gang wars or be interested in joining any organisations, no matter how good the offer was.
Those who tried to force him ... mysteriously encountered so many problems that they had to disband. They kept getting robbed, the police was always there during their heists or illegal activities, their members kept getting killed by rival gang members. No one truly attributed it to Ice but it did start a rumour.
Leave Ice alone, or you and your entire family will be cursed. 'Family' here being the Underground Family.
Ice was bad luck. The bearer of doom. People in the Underground were highly superstitious and they believed that Ice had the Curse of Misery upon him. Anyone who made him unhappy, would result in that curse being released.
Just look at the fate of all those who tried to target him. Ice was cold, ruthless ... but if he made 'the' face, whoever he glanced at would suffer the next day. Not just the person, but the entire organisation. The curse was ruthless, just like the Bearer.
Little did they know that Ice WAS the curse. He just got rid of any potential problems before it became too troublesome.
”Both of you are being monitored constantly,” Nitocris said, ”They will attack at any given moment. I can't tell you the date or time as it's going to be random. As long as they feel there's a chance, they'll take it.”
Kyle grunted, to show he understood.
Nitocris then got up, dumped his newspaper into the bin and whispered, ”Be careful.”
Kyle didn't respond, seemingly lost in thought as he gazed at the pond in front of him. After several minutes had passed, Kyle took his jacket that he hung on the bench and put it on. He's got to warn Kay to be extra careful and not leave Master Shifu's house for whatever reason.

”NO,” Kay shouted, stomping her foot, ”I will NOT.”
Kyle was staring at her, equally angry and not backing down, ”YES. YOU. WILL.”
”This is the best chance, Kyle and you know it,” Kay said through clenched teeth.
”It's too risky!” Kyle shouted back, ”I, alone, will be enough!”
”No it isn't!” Kay denied, ”I'm better protected with you than away from you.”
”Master Shifu can protect you way better than I can,” Kyle pointed out, rolling his eyes at how stupid Kay was being, ”That man is a beast. Worse than a pig. There is NO way I am going to allow you to be bait!”
”Look,” Kay said in exasperation, sitting down on the sofa of the living room that they were in, ”We all know how tight the security is at that place. We've tried many methods. Even Nic can't find an opening for us to go in.”
Kyle sat down on the one-seater sofa across from Kay, ”If you're the only one captured, he'll most likely just hand you over to Dr. Dre. You might not even get an opportunity to see him until the whole damn thing is over.”
”I can escape easily,” Kyle said stubbornly.
”Like they wouldn't be prepared for that?” Kay said, ”Even if you do manage to escape, it doesn't mean you'll be able to get to Kazuya. He'll be on high alert.”
”So? It's not like I can't take him down,” Kyle said in a huff.
”At what cost? Your forte is to attack in the dark. The shadow in the night that no one can see. There is no way you can do it when they are searching for you actively, in a locked-down building!” Kay shouted, banging her hand on the table.
Kyle leaned forward and banged his hand on the table as well, ”Are you saying my skills are lacking?!”
”You're just ONE man against hundreds, if not thousands!!” Kay screamed, ”ONE. ONE MAN. I only have one brother!”
A single tear fell down Kay's cheeks and Kyle immediately felt guilty. He rushed over and hugged her, ”And I only have one sister. I can't ... I just can't.”
”It's either we both go, or none at all,” Kay stated.
