23 The dark chamber VI (1/2)
Wyvern Headquarter
”Here is your pillow and blanket. Will you be fine sleeping here? We have a guest room, you know.” Bong placed a pillow and a blanket on the sofa, making sure that it was comfortable for Fu Yixiao to sleep on. ”Yes, here is fine. Besides, it's closer to the passway. If anything happened, I just make a run for it.” She replied while her fingers were busy setting up an alarm on her phone.
”Xiao er, this is a flash drive contains all the pieces of evidence. I'm looking forward to your comeback.” CM pulled her hand and put a tiny flash drive on her palm. Fu Yixiao examined the item in her palm and couldn't help but be amazed by the advancement of technology in this era. ”Thanks.” She gave him a grateful look. ”No big deal!” CM replied happily.
”Let's go. We still have to work. Let her rest.” Lan, who was watching by the side pulled both Bong and CM's hands, dragging them out of the room. ”Miss Fu, have a good rest.” He said before leaving the room with the reluctant duo. Fu Yixiao wished them good night while laughing at their funny acts.
Now that she was alone in the room, Fu Yixiao leaned against the sofa as her mind recalling the conversations she had earlier. Her disappointment was at its peak when she realized that there was no leeway to get the Wyvern organization to her side. Even the master seemed like a difficult man. She chuckled as she remembered Bong's description of his master; a man who has a phobia against women. Probably one with sexual disorientation, she thought.
Yawning, she rested her body on the sofa. The seconds her head touched the pillow, exhaustion took her over sending her to a night of deep sleep.

”She's asleep.” Three pair of eyes were attentively watching the screen in front of them. When they saw the girl on screen was fast asleep, they let out a sigh of relief. ”CM please monitor her from here. Bong and I had some business to attend to.” Lan grabbed a water bottle inside a refrigerator in the room and chugged it in one go. CM who was stretching his body nodded. He watched the two men walked out of the room only to see them running back inside with a frightful face.
”CM, Master is on his way. They've reached the Headquarter!” Bong tried to explain the situation as fast as he could. ”What?!” Shocked, CM rose from his chair. His sudden movement caused the chair to fall, elevating the uproar inside the room.
”I'll go and wake her up.” Bong ran toward the room Fu Yixiao was in but he was too late. His master was already in the room staring at her who was peacefully sleeping on the sofa.
”Ma...Master!” Shocked, Bong tried to explain the situation however the words choked in his throat. He gulped his own saliva, trying to soothe the pain he was feeling. Then, she saw Kristy appeared in the room with Lan and CM at her sides, both were feeling dejected.
”Master, everyone is here. Should I wake her up?” Kristy asked as she glanced at the girl who was sleeping on a sofa. For a moment, her eyes were admiring the girl's beauty. She even went as far as to imagine her beauty when she became an adult.
”Let's go.” Master Wu instructed them to follow him, entering another room the trio was in earlier. Scanning their master's face, the trio was trembling in fear. They couldn't tell what he was thinking, making it hard for them to think of countermeasures. They exchanged looks only to see the agony in each other's eyes.
”Explain.” Listening to his hoarse voice, the trio were pushing each other trying to shift the responsibility of giving their master an explanation to the other person. Kristy who was watching by the side was annoyed at their foolish behavior and send a kick on each of their butts. After a while, Lan finally stepped forward, his body was trembling but with great effort, he managed to provide a summary of the whole chain of events.
”Play the footage.” Again, the masked man instructed. CM hurriedly walked to one of the computers in the room and with a few clicks, several videos appeared on the screen hung on the wall. He played one of the videos and immediately retreated, giving ample space for everyone to watch without restriction.
