Chapter 187 New Phase (2/2)

He looked at Kyle and Kay, who were observing him closely, as he sat there, breathing hard.

”Are you spies?” he finally asked.

Kyle leaned back at his chair and smiled, ”No.”

”CIA? FBI? Secret Service? What?” Sam pressed on.

Kyle gestured to someone that Sam couldn't see in the cyberwar room. He saw Zero entering with a file and he was surprised, though he felt he shouldn't have been. Things were beginning to connect a bit, but it was far from what was the truth.

”MIB,” Kyle said, handing the file over to Sam, ”It's my own organisation. Well, mine and Kay's.”

Sam looked at the top of the file that had the stamp ”Ultra Top Secret” on it.

Kyle grinned at Sam's face when he saw the stamp, ”That's Kay's idea. Its level of secrecy is even higher than Top Secret. Once you open that file, you can't leave. So think carefully before you do.”

”Why me?” Sam asked, ”What about the other Elite Five members? Are you ever going to tell them?”

”To be honest, I wasn't going to tell you so soon,” Kyle said, ”I wanted you to work for me as my PA for a bit and gauge you first before revealing this to you.”

”However, there have been too many unexpected variables in my life that I wouldn't want you to be caught in the cross-fire simply because you didn't know. I want you to be better protected and knowing what you're in for would be for the best.”

”Once you open that, a new phase in your life will begin,” Kyle finished speaking, studying Sam closely.

This was Kyle's first - and only - test for Sam.

He decided on telling Sam about MIB after hearing how Sam was trusting him completely. As such, the reason for this was just as he said it was to Sam: Sam needed to truly know what he was getting himself into. If Sam couldn't take it, then he'll just erase Sam's memories about the whole thing.

The last thing Kyle wanted was to ruin Sam's life or future.

After staring at the file for a few seconds, Sam opened it. Kyle and Kay sat there, waiting patiently, as Sam read the file. It had details about MIB's organisation, its members and its businesses. It even listed out how Master Shifu was recruited and the training Kyle did.

The only information that it didn't have were its involvement in Kyle's kids and anything pertaining to it. It did, however, outline MIB's focus on monitoring Rex Industries, and vertain key people (that had been responsible for Kylie's dearh).

As for Kyle's kids, that was something that would be revealed at another time - if ever. Kyle had yet to decide on that part, but if he did tell the Elite Five about it, it would be at the same time.

After 20 minutes of complete silence, Sam finally closed the file and looked at the Smith Twins.

At that moment, everything he had ever thought he knew about them flew out the window. What he had known was only the tip of the iceberg. This file showed another 50%, perhaps. He knew that they had much more secrets and depth to it but this was enough to make him fluster.

Were they really 14 years old? Could they be cyborgs or some immortal? They only looked 14?

His hands were slightly shaking as he put them on the file, his head bowed down.

Shaking, not out of nervousness.

As Sam looked up at them, Kyle could see, with satisfaction, the intense interest that was radiating out of Sam's eyes. He was relieved that his judgment of Sam had been correct.

He can plan, he can speculate but human nature is hard to truly understand or judge. It was always this part that made his plans extremely difficult to anticipate its end. Human emotions.

Sam had been completely shocked at the contents of the file. When he looked at the Smith Twins, it was with awe and utter respect. He always had admiration for them, especially towards Kyle, for all that he had achieved in school and as the future CEO.

This. This, however, was at a completely different level altogether.

This MIB was achieved through his own efforts. Even from that brief glance, he saw how Kyle had built up the company into the mini-empire that it was right now. Self-sustaining and creating more independent income for the Smith Twins.

It wasn't at the scale of the Smith Industries that had worldwide presence but if it kept going at the rate it did, it would surpass the Smith Industries within 10 years.

That was his estimation.

However, it was the covert things that made Sam excited. There were so many questions, so many wonders, so many interesting things - he just didn't know where to begin. So, he made it simple.

”What's next for me now?”

Kyle's face broke into a huge grin while Kay smiled sweetly at him.

”Now, we turn you into a silent killing machine,” Kyle said with a straight face.
