Love is War

Chapter 83

In the middle of the darkness, there is a woman and man waiting for someone. Both of them are standing so still, that anyone who passes in that area don’t notice them. Their clothes that really matched the darkness behind them.

But a man frantically looking around him, just walked in the area, as if he is looking for someone, the two spotted him and they began to make their move towards the man.

They got closer to each other but the man, don’t have even the slightest clue that the people he has been looking for is just in front of him, and when the unknown man grabbed the frantic person’s hand, he was so shocked.

“Oh, you almost gave me a heart attack,” he said towards the man wearing a black mask, black shades, and a black coat paired with black pants that completely concealed their identity, the woman that is with him is wearing the same wear as him but clothes fitted for a woman.

Even the man that is looking for them didn’t know their real identity, their clothes are the only sign that can help him that he is looking at the right person right now.

“We are not here for jokes,” he said. “Where is the money?” the man asked and in the looks of this man right now, he is very intimidated to the man even his face cannot be seen.

“What will I tell them this time?” the frantic man asked.

“It’s Yoshidas turn right now,” he uttered. “Tell them that they are planning to commence a celebration party, in the island of Roswer, the leader of the Smiths will be there, be sure to tell them that,” he told the man and it turns out, the frantic man was the informant of the Yoshidas.

A puppet by these two people, who are pulling the strings behind the scenes.

“Here is your money, as promised,” the woman handed out a large amount of money to the informant and he quickly grabs the cash from the woman’s hand. The informant quickly shoves the cash inside his pocket. “You will get the promised amount if you are successful making them attack the Smiths, I really want to have a lot of booms in that celebration!” the woman happily said.

“You really want to amuse yourself in that party, aren’t you?” the mysterious man in black replied to the woman. The woman in black turned to the man and smiled.

“That’s a special day, why won’t I bring a gift for the whole family? Let’s show some courtesy,” and then she went on giggling continuously.

The man looked at the seemingly couple in black, confused about their actions and he is not sure what to react towards the couple. But he will not pay attention to it as long as the pay is good if he does his job correctly.

All he needed to do is inform the Yoshidas about the upcoming party, and he is good to go. Well, he still needs to convince the organization to attack them.

“Do your job as usual, now scram,” the man in black said, the informant turned his back from the couple and he counted the bills that has been given to him.

A smile formed on his face when he confirmed that the money is just like what they talked about, and puts it in a secure place in his jacket. He looks straight on the street thinking of the move that he will do, to convince the head master of the Yoshida.

“Hello,” the informant said on the phone.

“A pleasant day, what do you have for me today?” Yamato Yoshida the father of Reikou responded.

“Boss, I just received the information that Don William will celebrate his daughter’s birthday on a private island,” the informant said. “A private island,” he said.

“Tell me the specific island,” Yamato demanded.

“Not so fast, I am still gathering information in the inside, the Smiths are aware of someone leaking the information in the inside,” he said. Yamato puts away the phone from his ear and he is smiling while looking at it knowing that he already knew that this informant might be playing with him, now that he is completely aware that there is a spy amongst them.  

But Yamato is a cunning man and will get all the help that he can receive from others to defeat his enemy. He slowly puts the phone back to his ears because he had already devised a plan in his head.

“I’ll wait,” Yamato calmly said despite of him being offended by the informant’s cockiness towards him and for the sake of the conversation.

“As long as the pay is good,” the informant reminded him.

“I’ll give you the money once I get the information, I need it as soon as possible,” Yamato demanded.

“You’ll get what you need,” the informant said and ended the call between them. Yamato is trying his best to remain composed, and calmly puts his phone above his table. He took his seat and turned his chair towards the big window behind him.

The informant was happy that as soon as he called Yamato, he showed interest quickly to the information that he holds. He walked confidently, as he headed towards his hide out, and throughout his connection with the Yamatos, even once they did not meet up personally.

When he reached his hideout that is keeping him safe from the dangers that is lurking around him. He pulled out his phone again from his pocket and immediately searched the contacts of the couple in black that he talked to earlier.

These numbers don’t have name, even he does not know, but ironically the couple seeming knows him too well, that incited fear in his heart. He thinks that anytime, if the couple don’t find any use from him, they might decide to kill him.

That’s why he is very wary when he goes back to his hide out. He abandoned his home and family just to keep them and him safe.

The money that he earns from this risky job that he entered, is always been given to his family. He will not have any use of it when he is dead anyway. He is certain that the money he earns is more than enough to provide his family’s everyday needs, even when he is dead. To protect their whereabouts, he will just leave the money on the porch and where it is more secured from thieves alongside with a note.

“Hello,” a male distorted voice answered the phone.

“The head master of the Yoshida Clan wants to know the location of the party,” he said.

“That’s what I like about you,” he complimented his puppet. “Always doing your tasks early,” he added.

“As long as the pay is good,” he repeated his usual phrase when his clients find a good service out from him.

“Money is easy,” the man said from the other side of the phone. “Tell him that the name of the island is Lagoona,” he added telling him the information that he needs. “The date of the celebration will be held two weeks from now,” he added.

“If it’s okay, can I ask for the exact date of the celebration?” the informant asked the man.

“It’s for you and them to figure out, the pay will be given after the celebration,” he said. The look from the informant became sad because he will not receive any bonus from the Yoshidas. “We are always watching you,” the man reminded him with a creepy voice before ending the call.

The man was dumbfounded when he heard that phrase and frantically ran outside his windows to check if there are people watching him from outside right now.

But he saw nothing, now his fear grew, and he must be careful with his actions because he is in a field of mines and one wrong step, his life will blow up into pieces.

After finding nothing outside his hide out he decided to call Yamato, tomorrow, and he decided to call this a day, so he heads straight towards his bed and went to sleep.

As soon as his vision blacks out, he pictured the image of his family with him together...

Two weeks later...

The moon rises and the man in black suit, is quietly observing Smith and his daughters preparing for the long-awaited party... he noticed Yoshida’s men preparing for the party. This is what his fiancé wants. A booming gift for the Smiths.
