Masks of Dusk

oup, will be killed by me. They shall be treated with the utmost sincerity. Do you understand? Do YOU, FUCKING, UNDERSTAND! ”

While everyone seemed unwilling they still nodded to his words.

”Father, who is he? ”

He looked at his daughter for a moment. ”One of the envoys of, the masks of dusk. ”

Everyones eyes widened, trembling in fear.

How could they not know, the stories, the legends that took over the world in less than 5 years? A group that started mainly with six people, became the strongest military force in the world. Becoming the kings of the underworld from nothing, located in a huge city on a faraway island. A force mainly specialized in dealing with terrorism around the world. No one dared touch them. They had eyes everywhere they couldn be identified. Now to even send an envoy openly for this city, meant someone broke the rules they put on the underworld. Meaning, a massacre will take place.

”They would have wiped us out in a night if one of us broke the rules. But they didn , which means… ” concluded Jessy.

”It wasn us, but one of the neighboring mafia. The masks are not moving yet. ”

”Yeah, and everyone here knows how they are with this kind of people. ”

”Then, what do they want from us? ” Asked one of the men worriedly.

Akashi took over the pile of documents that the envoy handed him. ”They wanted to see our stand in this. After all, we had many dealings with the mafia they have their eyes on. ” He sighed, ”All of you, leave my daughter and me alone for the night. ”

”Yes, sir, ” bowed the counselors while looking at each other leaving.

Jessy was left alone with her dad, who didn talk but kept staring at the roof for a while.

”How are your studies going dear? ”

Jessys eyebrows twitched. She understood. ”Going well, father. You already have a lot in your mind. Don worry about me. ”

Akashi smiled warmly. He slowly stood up, walked towards his desk, and ran his hand through his precious collections, then suddenly pulled a small black chip from one of them, a voice recorder.

You could see the traces of anger on his face. ”Since we already finished making a clear stand that we
e not aligned with that mafia nothing bad will happen to us. ” But other than that, it seems like someone in our own ranks is trying to mess us up.

Jessy got up, she could hear his thoughts on his face as he looked at her, she smiled evilly. ”Then we just have to do it the old way. ”

Akashi grinned. ”Oh yeah. ” Will be fun.

Jessy suddenly got back to herself. ”But what will happen to that mafia? after all, they
e still one of the top three and one of our rivals. ”

Akashi stared at the big windows, staring at the shining city under the night sky. ”I am afraid none of them, will be breathing by tomorrow. To them, we
e just people playing with toys rather than weapons. We, are mere ants in front of those bastards. ”

”Makes me curious about them. ”

”Go back to sleep love. We will have to get as much as we can of what will be left. ”

Jessy turned as she was leaving. ”Oh dad, make sure to get the pavilion restaurant, I would love to try it but since it was under that mafia I could never. ”

”I will gift it to you as your early birthday gift if you want, darling. ”

”Thank you, dad, I would love that. ”

Jessy got to her room with a smile, but soon her expression changed.

”The masks of dusk, a domineering name. ” She hugged her pillow tightly. ”The demonic and terrifying kings and queens. The six that even the devil kneeled to. I wonder what kind of people they are. ”
