Ken Zhao arrived in the Hampston. It was not the tourist season and the streets and stores were crowded with few people. The covid had taken its toll: tourism and commerce with many problems.

He arrived at the classic and imposing mansion that belonged to the descendants of Eugene O'Neil and Alecia Hernandez. He walked through the lonely and empty mansion. He opened the immense doors of wood and carved glass and entered the imposing dining room.

 The men seated around a gigantic table looked at him in silence.

The table had about 80 seats.

 They were men over 65 years old on average and of all races.

As Ken entered, they all touched gold forks to the edge of the table.

Ken walked to a small presidium and looked at the faces of everyone present....

-- Greetings to each and every one of you. It is an honor to see you and to pay our respects. I want to begin by saying that we should not be here, but we are; we believe we are not qualified for the responsibility, however we will do our best.... We are not criminals, we are not businessmen, we are not a secret government, we are not the new world order. We are just survivors who count on ourselves and no one else... There will come a day when we will transform ourselves and live another story. We know; we know who will lead us. We have already made plans and projects. In the past Xixata, in the future T'zu Hsi.

Ken looked at them and an immense silence hung like a mantle over them.

Ken continued...

--Today we return to our origins. Today we begin again. In the world of cryptocurrencies, in the metaverse, in the world of the beginning of the colonization of Mars; and of the secret biological warfare. We return to our origin. We must survive. We are not allowed to rest.

The men again struck their gold forks against the edge of the table.

-- By tradition," said one, raising a golden cup filled with red wine.

-- By tradition," said Ken to everyone....

Ye Ye arrived at her apartment at 11 pm. She was so familiar with her husband's presence that she thought she saw him. Sometimes he would sit on the sofa with his laptop and greet her with a hug and then accompany her to dinner, while she ate the dinner he prepared beforehand.

 Sometimes he was already in bed and silently hugged her while she fell asleep.

 Her apartment; her husband. The only place where she felt safe.

Ye Ye turned on the light in the small kitchen. She placed 2 eggs in the pan. A cold sandwich bread, a piece of bacon and munster cheese....

It was a simple piece of paper that he left on the bed... With a heavy soul she read it.

 "It's not your fault. It's me. I need some time. It wasn't a marriage anymore. I must find myself. You'll be fine without me."

Now, standing silently, she watched the egg fry. She made her sandwich and couldn't eat it. She threw it on the floor and a painful, heartbreaking moan came from inside her soul.

She was very pragmatic; she didn't believe in many things; but like a shipwrecked man clinging desperately to a plank she remembered when 7 years earlier they had met. There was hardly ever time, but he had the sedative effect, to make her feel protected, to bring out her romantic side and to make love sublime....

Once they had a horoscope synastry. and she could remember a reading that she never forgot....

"""

Ascendant

Leo

1°01'Conjunction

(5°27')Jupiter

Cancer

25°34'

This is a very good combination because these two people get along very well. They love and trust each other. They are always excited when they meet after not seeing each other for a while. The Jupiter person helps the Ascendant person feel good about themselves and express themselves better. Jupiter also encourages the ASC person to improve their skills and abilities and helps develop a more positive self-image. 

The Ascendant person helps the Jupiter person to take advantage of new opportunities and gives them the energy to do so. They will enjoy each other's company, remain friends or their friendship will develop into a stable, strong, eternal romantic relationship.

Ye Ye cried until she was helpless.

-- It's my fault. I was so convinced that he would be stable, I put my police career above him. I refused to have a child. There's never time. No. I'm not gonna lose him. I'm looking for him tomorrow. I have to fix everything. It is temporary.

With that said, Ye Ye a little calmer went to sleep, hugging her husband's pillow.

-3-

Ye-Ye woke up in the early morning and decided not to go to work. She saw her husband's gold thread card.

And ran a finger across its letters... She read...

Iwo Sakaki...

She remembered all the family problems... A foreigner... Half Hippie... Introverted... But she fought against all that.

She saw his closet.

-- No wonder. Just blue jeans, army boots and jackets. I scared him off. I'm sure there came a time when he must have thought he was married to a cyborg.

So with an aggressive mini skirt, super sexy sandals and a low-cut see-through blouse, she resolutely went to the address on the card.

Iwo's whassap said...user cannot be logged in....

-- You'll see how it connects you ----- And she went back to read the horoscope on the day they got married.

""The Goat and the Horse, even if they are not part of the same love compatibility triangle, form a harmonious couple, predisposed to happiness. Preserving their agreement still requires prior adjustments. First, their home must be completely organized to allow each of them to organize their lives in a semi-independent manner. For example, provide two separate rooms for the couple, as well as children's rooms. In addition, the Goat, which is neither the most jealous nor the most preachy of the 12 animals in the Chinese calendar, is particularly indulgent to the Horse. Our proud steed's constant thirst for adventure and his latent selfishness do not bother the Goat, as long as he feels comfortable and secure at home. The Goat also allows the Horse to fully enjoy his moments of rest between trips, because his companion's creative indifference and eclectic conversations provide essential moral solace. In friendship or at work, the Goat and the Horse are made to get along. The Goat's advice is invaluable to the Horse, especially when it comes to their love life. In return, the Goat has every interest in listening to the Horse's advice regarding his professional life.""""

-- You are mine...only mine-- he whispered as he shocked everyone in the lobby of Shanghai Hong Kong Bank.

--Please speak to the corporate special accounts manager, Dr Iwo Sakaki," she requested at the main reception desk.

The young woman who answered the phone looked at the computer screen.

-- I am sorry. That name does not appear-- reported the receptionist.

Mélissa gave up the idea of making a mess of Ye-ye. Sitting at a table in an outdoor cafe overlooking the bay, the young policewoman stared at Ye-ye in amazement. 

The girl was shattered, broken, insecure, her eyes reddened from crying.

-- How am I going to live? I am lost. I am afraid. Very afraid," said Ye Ye, trembling.

-- What happened?" asked Melissa.

-- I put on my best clothes. I went to look for him at work.

-- Was he with someone else?

-- No one knows him. He's never worked there. They searched every department.

- What? How?" Melissa asked stupefied, almost spilling the coffee she was drinking.

-- I ran his photo through the police database. Nothing. Fake passport. It doesn't exist. There are 793 names that match. None of them are the... Now I don't know who I'm married to.

-- That's not possible.

-- I don't care about that. I need my husband with me. I can't breathe or live without him.

-- Ye ye. You're very tough and strong. The situation is difficult. You can't weaken. They want to kill you.

 -- Don't you understand? I am already dead without my Iwo," said Ye Ye, hiding her face with her hands, crying uncontrollably and inconsolably.

-- We're going to make it. You'll see. I'll help you.

-- Will you really do it? Will you help me?

-- Sure I will. You love him...he loves you...it's just a passing thing.

As best she could, Melissa took the grief-stricken Ye Ye to the car and they left the cafeteria....

-- This is him," said Ye Ye in a muffled voice handing her the Iphone.

-- Hey. Your husband is very handsome.

-- I'm scared that someone else will come and take him away from me. I'm so jealous. I just don't even want to think what I'll do if I get him with someone else. I'm capable of doing something crazy...

-Easy. It won't happen.

-- If there's another one, I swear I'll break it up.

-- Relax. There isn't another one. We're going to make it," Melissa insisted, knowing full well what Ye-ye would be capable of if she suffered a passionate outburst.

-- What if they kidn*pped him to get back at me?

Melissa preferred not to answer.

Qiang Ling's castle was in the darkness of midnight. Qiang Ling in a room was kneeling on a carpet. He was in concentration, navigating in the depths of meditation.

Thomas on the balcony of his room, stared into the darkness of the night. He was facing his feelings. Kathy had moved forward silently taking up space in the.... It was a trap... It was a surprise. He didn't take foresight and now she was the owner of all his feelings.

6

For her part Mei To decided to put an end to her suffering. The idea of being used by this satyr made her sick... She had lost her purity. But her soul was intact and virgin.

She saw the balcony of her room... It was time. Decidedly she walked and opened the door. The cold made her shiver. Decidedly she took two steps to the edge...

Ken smiled... In his time for 10 years he did the job of Alecia Hernandez. Today, next to the multiple screens, with the holographic mental reality glasses he worked in perfect concentration....

He was about to accomplish two things.

The first was her long-awaited project... The first cryptocurrency of those who lived in the shadows; the survivors, those who could not explain their income, those who could not show their wealth.

It was about to be born.   

Dark.coin

Convertible in the deep internet, legal where there was no legality, exchangeable only among those who could not be legal.... He was the creator. He was the designer. He was the main "cryptominator"."

From that moment on he would be the target to be eliminated by all the special forces of the world...from that moment on he would be the object of persecution by all the illegals to kidnap him and force him to create more...everyone who was next to him could die at any moment or be used to blackmail him and take away the quantum algorithm matrix of the cryptocurrency....

He had a new life mapped out in New York.

 Everything was working well... He was cryptominating and saw the first value.

--In pyongyang they just invested 700,000 Bitcoin in Dark.coin-- the holographic voice of his quantum computer told him-- which makes the first value exchangeable.

30000 bitcoin for dark.coin for purchase.

35000 bitcoin per dark.coin for sale.

payable to the cryptominator in royalties. 4.5%.

Ken River strongly.

-- Security alarm..max 36 hours to be cracked matrix quantum algorithm.....security alarm..max 35 hours, 44 minutes to be cracked matrix quantum algorithm..security alarm....

-- No..no..no..no..-- said terrified Ken...he understood..he had to program.... he looked for his laptop..he didn't find it -- My laptop... It's left in the house...I have to go back..Oh my god..how could I be such an i***t?
