4-96: His Invincibility (1/6)

4-96: His Invincibility (1/6)

Tomorrow.

There was only tomorrow.

Masquerade had to be eliminated. Not just because they could, but because they had to. It was either him or them.

The damage caused by the Mask upon them followed a clear trend. He only crushed their eyes and tongues by chance whenever he happened into them, and as a result destroyed their routes to obtain people, resources, and funds.

In other words, the Mask eliminated them only because they happened to be in his way while he was doing something else. Such losses were minor when looking at the entire organization, but it was the greatest loss accrued in the past few decades. It was such a ridiculous story, but Six couldnt find it in himself to laugh.

Then they met and the Mask appeared hostile to them because of Venoms rampage. They used their prized apostle weapons, only for them to turn out to be ineffective. When the songstress sang and their devices were broken, the reason why they were after her was laid bare.

Thats why Six had come clean in hopes of getting lucky, but who wouldve thought that the Mask would actually try to kill him. It was foolish of him to even consider that someone mad enough take on two worlds might have some semblance of sanity.

In the end, the relationship between the Mask and the Snake had deteriorated to the point of complete hostility. Until now, their conflicts were just happenstance, but there was no telling how much damage the Mask could cause if he actually intentionally tried to stamp them out.

Tomorrow would be their only chance out of this mess, and there wasnt enough time to get permission from the head. Six might be punished later as a result of acting on his own, but regardless, Masquerade had to be eliminated; otherwise, the only ending awaiting them was a life worse than death.

Even if the Snake wasnt completely destroyed, there was a high chance that the damage the Mask would bring them wouldnt be far off. Recovery from that would easily require more than a century.

Of course, that was a short time given the history of the Snake, but it was still best to avoid such a fate. It hasnt even been half a month since the Mask threatened both worlds, yet everyone in the underworld already equated being targeted by him with death. However, the Mask had collapsed.

Red blood spilled

Therefore, he wasnt invincible.

Behind that mask was a human being.

Therefore, he can be slayed.

He can be erased.

There was a path.

Six pondered how to approach the Mask, what to use, and how much. It wasnt as if he hadnt considered making the assassination happen at the live event. He might have stopped thinking it at one point, but in the end, the information was still in his head.



That woman stood with other staff members from the office as she yelled at Monica. Her sharp gaze was directed not only at her but also at the man and woman already serving as guards behind her. However, both of them just remained indifferent.

Wrong, Teressa.

Monica responded to her with a soft voice, but there was a firmness to it that conveyed that she wouldnt yield.

Huh?

Ive already done it, whether you want it or not. Its my personal security. I dont need your permission for that, do I?

W-Well, that might be true, but as your manager, I at least want you to communicate with me beforehand!

Thats why were talking right now.

Monica wryly smiled and stood there with a calm and dignified air, as though to protest how troublesome she was being.

Which part of this is beforehand!? I can tell from the face youre making that you have no intention of changing your mind, but Im not so careless about my job that I can easily back off when told that their affiliation and identity is a secret!

Fu fu, well, I dont hate that part about you.

T-Thanks Wait a moment! Youre not fooling me!

Being praised by such a beauty caused a blush to surface on Teresas cheeks despite the both of them being girls. They had known each other since Monicas debut, yet Monica could still make her blush with just a few words. Either Monica was just that amazing, or the manager was just that easy.

This songstress of yours sure acts differently from when shes in church(at home).

Myuhi quietly muttered, but then again, this was also how Monica acted when on TV, so it was actually a lot more natural to see her like this. It wasnt uncommon anyway for people to behave differently in their professional and private life, so Myuhi didnt really mean anything by that, and she just quickly moved on to be vigilant of her surroundings.

I-In the first place, what are those two!? Their faces have been changing regularly for awhile now! Do they have circumstances that demand they hide their face!?

Though their genders remained the same, and the woman of the two retained her fox ears, their facial features regularly changed as if someone was channel surfing.

A careful look would show that that was due to the three-dimensional holograph technology, a brazen attempt to conceal their identity, but Monica just shook her head.

Like I said, its to prevent their identity from being exposed. Think about it a little, will you? If there are people planning to harm me, wouldnt they first try to break me down from my surroundings? Engage the security personnel, even reach out to their families and friends, try to pull them to their side? Thats a common tactic, isnt it?

Teresa couldnt find the words to argue with that, and she fell silent. Monica was actually surprised at how easily she went quiet. She had merely repeated what she had been taught to say, and in her own opinion, it seemed like an overly cautious statement. But that was simply the difference between someone who was involved in dangerous matters and those who werent, celebrity or not.
