Chapter 35 - Potential

"What do you mean by that?" Diana asked, her inside in turmoil, but being the type that doesn't show her weak side to people, she kept a straight face.

She can't believe the poor old woman nearly died because of her stupidity, if only she had listened and not come to the town out of curiosity, but on the other hand, wouldn't that keep her away from knowing her life story, she's not sure whether to blame herself or not. She's glad she found out, and scared that people will get hurt because of it. Even though Rihanna and her parents aren't the loving type, they still raised her to the stage she is now. And also this grandma that was always on her side, even though most of her caring toward her are kind of exaggerated, she could understand she's old and also for someone to know about the risk and still helped, she really owe her a deep appreciation.

"Aroma seem interested in you, which is good news, she's the best person that can train you and you can gain confidence in your prowess. And also, I could use help with two of her kind in my organization, you're brave." Nathan replied.

"Wait what!" Diana exclaimed, looking at him in awe.

"It's up to you human, i don't get involved in people's business unless I have something to derived from it, I only allow you close because you knew my brother, I tried to help because I found you pitiful and yeah, also interesting.

But now, i see potential in you, I like how you handle your emotions and that is one of the qualities that makes an outstanding warrior. It's still up to you anyway; if you choose to leave and endangered the lives of those people that brought you up and get killed, making your mother sacrifice go to waste, I won't stop you.

But if you chose to stay; those guys out there will be ready to put their lives on the line to save you, same as how you must be ready to do the same for them…." Nathan kept trying to make her join his organization, as well as make her realize it's up to her, not that he's forcing her.

Aroma who was outside the door, also wish Diana will agree to be her trainee. It will be an honour to share her knowledge with a brave girl like her. She knew Nathan doesn't speak this much unless he sees potential in someone, the two girls he tried this much to convince into joining are two of their best after going through a lot of training. Both of them are in charge of their armory business in two different countries now, and also get the most dangerous assassination missions.

Diana felt her heart beat increases, all this is too much for her to handle. She left for a business trip and won't get to return, she had no one to worry about her being lost, but how could things change for her this much within a few days. There is no harm in trying, she really wants to kill that bastard and get her mom out of there, now that she knew; she imagined how her mom was able to endure everything. One thing is sure, she's trying to protect her and now it's her turn to do the same.

To Diana, everything seemed simple, her thought now was to get strong and come for her mother, which could make Nathan rolled out of his chair with laughter, if he could read her thoughts.

But this present belief made her strengthen her heart, she made her decision and wanted to do it.

"Where is boss?" One of the guys walked toward Aroma outside the door, with his laptop.

"He's busy, what's up?" Aroma asked.

The guy turned the laptop screen toward her. "I just got this message from the base, they said those axe gang got boss, and wanted to confirm his safety as the guy look like him, the only difference is their hair".

"F*ck!" Aroma cursed and went inside the room, "boss, you need to see this." Aroma said showing Ethan picture that got sent by the gang to him.

Diana felt the room temperature lowered and felt her feet getting cold, as she stared at Nathan expression. He transformed from the teasing handsome dude, into someone that could make her cower in fear, he look so scary.

"Damn! They got Ethan, prepare to leave now!" He screamed and Aroma left the room immediately with the guy.

He closed his eyes that was looking bloodthirsty and opened them again, he returns to his normal self within a blink of an eye, "what's your decision human?" He asked.

'This man is not ordinary' something in Diana's head registered that. "I'm willing." She replied.
