>>Would you like to draw your lottery now? Yes/No.

Emma taught for a few seconds and shook his head. 'No.'

>>Your lottery ticket has been saved. It can be drawn at any time.

'I have something important to do now.' He looked at the picture on the laptop screen and picked up his phone and dial some number. After a few seconds, the call was answered. 

"Who is this?" A husky voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Rodriguez. I'm Manny…. I've read and heard a lot about you. I have a business deal for you."

Silence came from the other end. "How can I know you're not a cop or my enemies?"

"I have sent you some data. Check it."

Silence again. "Where did you get all this!" The voice yelled. "I promise to make your life hell if you expose this to the cops."

"Calm down, Mr. Rodriquez. This is just to inform you that I'm not your enemy or cops. All I want is a business deal between us. And I assured you, you won't regret it. So, what do you say?"

Nothing came from the other end. After a couple of seconds. "Ok… I will forward the meeting point"

… 

A young man dressed in black jeans and a jacket stood in the middle of a dilapidated factory. He looked at the serene surroundings casually, not bothered by the stillness in the environment. This factory was located at the boundary of Reaper City. Hardly did people come to this side of the city. The enormous factory had been shard with fire. Aches everywhere with corroded irons.

>>Do you think this man is dependable….?

'That… I don't know.' Emma replied.

>>Then, why did you come here?

 'Because he is the best man for the job. Also, I'd like to be his associate if he had to be legit according to the data on the net. This man had diverse connections. Things that are difficult to procure with normal means can be done by this man. So, if I don't want to waste my time babbling on resources. I should go for the best. Don't you think….'

>>If everything is according to what you say… Then, it is worth the gamble.

'Yeah… Everything is a gamble now. Time is not on my side. Especially, since I saw the beast…. What did Zeus call it…?'

[[Kpriv]]

'Kpriv…! …I sense things are not as calm as they seem. I don't want to be a cannon folder for those wretched bastards.'

>>It is better to be prepared for the worst… Doesn't that doesn't mean to risk your life unnecessary…

'Humm…Sweat. My Lily is worried about me.' Emma has a tight lip smile looking at the surroundings. 

>>Humph! Don't get ahead. That just serves as a reminder…. Humph!

'I know. I know…'

>>Better.

'I know you can't live without this grandpa.' Emma chuckled.

>>…Speechless

>>Then, I'm not talking to you. You think this Mama can't do without you. Watch and see.

'Why do you take everything seriously. I'm just kidding…'

>>Forget...! When will this useless man arrive…? We have been here for over three hours.

Emma sighed. 'I don't know. But I will wait for another hour. If I don't see him. Then, I'll go look for another source. But I will teach the asshole some lessons…'

"Hey, you." A husky voice came from Emma's back.

At once, Emma turned, looking at a stoic man with a bushy beard but with a well-nice-shaved hairstyle. He walked toward Emma with a slight pensive apprehension in his eyes. His eyes darted from left to right.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to make sure you're not here to burst me…" He announced casually. "I'm Pat. But I guess you know that already."

"Yeah, But I already told you I'm here for business. With my connection. Do you think you can hide from me if I want to burst you ...." Emma raised his brow, annoyed for wasting his precious time. "Hmm?"

"Yeah… But in this line of business of ours. You never can tell"

"Forget it…" Emma waves his hand. "I'm Manny. Are you ready for business? I don't have all day."

Pat squinted his eyes. "Yeah. What do you wanna get?" 

"Do you have your device with you?"

"What for?" raising his brow.

"To send you the data. I can't waste my time telling. Besides, you can't remember everything." Emma announced flatly.

"Oh!" Pat's eyes widened. But he brought an encrypted device out from his pocket.

Quickly, they exchange contact, and Emma forwards all the analysis of the resources he needed. Seeing the huge amount of resources to be procured. Pat's mouth slacken. "A-Are …..You for…real."

"Do I look like I'm performing a play?"

It took a few seconds for Pat to regain his bearings. He gulped. He opened his mouth but the word won't come out. His pupil dilated, looking at Emma like a special specimen.

"What!" Emma snapped. 'Why is he behaving like a clown? Has he not had such a requirement before…'

>>That had to be expected. That bid is too huge for him not to be scared. I don't even know you're going to forward everything to him at once. You should have taken it step by step.

'So, it's my fault.'

>>No…

'I know what you mean. But there is nothing we can do about it. And I don't have time. Besides, I can't go from one source to another. That will blow my cover. I'm nobody in the eyes of those mongrels.'

>>I hate it when you're right…

Emma chuckled inside. "Can you do it or not.?"

Pat has digested all the information. "Sorry for blanking out. I haven't dealt with this huge amount of resources at once from one buyer. That's why." He paused, arranging his thoughts. "I can accomplish this deal. But I can't do it alone. Do you agree with that?"

"I agree. As long as you keep everything under wraps."

"You don't have to worry about that. I know how to play my game."

"When will it be delivered?"

Pat thought for a few seconds. "A week at most."

"I don't have a week. 3 days. If you can't, then, forget about the deal."

Pat raised his brow. "I can deliver it in 3 days. But the cost will double the normal prices."

"Money is not the issue. Get it done and you'll get paid."

Pat's eyes brightened. "You need to deposit $50 million"

Emma nodded. He brought his Origin coin box, ready to make the payment.

'What! He didn't even argue about the prices. Wow.' Pat laughed hysterically in his mind. 'I must not let this hot soup escape from my grasped'

>>Why did you agree to the deal without negotiating? Is that not a rip-off…

'I know.'

>>Then, why…

'Investment.' 

Smiling, Pat brought his origin coin box. Quickly, they made the transaction while the smile never left Pat's face. Finishing the transaction. Emma looked at Pat seriously.

"I will be expecting your call."

"I won't disappoint" Pat slapped his chest, puffing his chest outward.

"Ok." Emma turned, departing from the factory. However, after taking a few steps. He turned his head. "Hey"

Hmm!

Pat turned his head, raising his brow. "What!"

"Will you like to work for me? Don't give me a reply now. Think about it. I don't have to tell you about the reward you will get by working for me…" Emma turned and left.

Unknown to Emma, things are not calm as it looks. He sat inside his car lost in thought. 'Should I buy more resources? Or done with the one I just ordered. Sighed.' He rubbed the back of his neck. The car had just left the unpopulated going toward the city when his eyes caught the sight of two people running by the road. Their bodies were covered in blood, scars and bruises filled their body. Their clothes were torn. 

Hmm!

"Slow down," Emma commanded the car. At once, the car speed dropped to 20km/h. Emma narrowed his eyes, checking if what he's seeing was not false.

"This is not the twins!" He murmured.

>>Hmm, Hmm. What made them into such…

"Go to those two by the roadside."

'Ok, sir.' A mechanical voice echoed in the car. At once, the car drives toward the twins. 

Seeing an unknown black car coming toward them, the twins were wary. They increase their speed, trying to outrun the car. But that's impossible. They had nowhere to hide. They wanted to cry for their ill luck but they continued to struggle to escape. Jimena's eyes dimmed, tears hanging at the corner of his eyes, supported by Arce. They make a futile escape.

The black car parked in front of them obstructing their escape route. Arce's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fist, supporting his fragile twin sister who was already breaking down. Jimena held his brother's arm, tears dropping from her eyes.

However, the car didn't open immediately. This makes them wonder what is going on. Since everything about the car was black.. They couldn't see the person inside the car.
