The morning was warm and the air was dirty. It was a normal day in New York. The black car arrived in front of the ruined building.
This building was known as the Forbidden Area by the homeless people around the block. They would get beat up by gang members for simply walking around the building.
The situation got worse the past three days and right now all of the homeless people tried to stay away from the building. They didn't even dare to look at the building with the fear of seeing something they shouldn't.
Mason walked out of the car. He checked his hair in the mirror and walked toward the building. He knocked on the door.
It opened. The first thing he saw was the man wearing the black mask. It had nothing on it. The mask was not the same.
It didn't reveal anything, just a blank darkness covering Ray's face.
" What? " Ray asked.
Mason took a step back and guided his boss. " Your mask looks different. "
" Let's go. " Ray ignored Mason and headed inside the car.
The car drove smoothly. He looked at the street and saw people hugging their torn cloaks. Some were throwing trash.
But nobody gazed at the car.
' It is weird. '
After a few minutes of sitting, the car finally left the Hell kitchen and is now on the good side of New York.
People walk in sideways with coffee, listening to music.
Ray grabbed the mask. It fell into pieces and warped around his hand like a watch.
Now he had two watches. One was for offensive and the other one was for defence.
He even got an extra mechanic on his leg in case his tools were destroyed. That way he can easily replace his weapon.
The car stopped in front of his house. He noticed his father's car and another unfamiliar one parking in front of the house.
He slammed the door and said, " I will call you. Don't touch the computer or I will kill everyone in the hell kitchen. You know the bomb right? "
Felix's situation flashed into Mason's brain. He looked at Ray and saw a smile.
" There won't be a barrier. "
Mason quickly nodded. " I understand."
" Go. "
Ray watched the car's back and sighed.
' I forgot to install the camera. Hope my buff works. Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I just have to ask Diane and blow up them. '
He placed his hands into his pocket and walked toward the house. He finally relaxed his mind.
He whistled and opened the door.
" We are getting divorced. That it. You are not listening to me. "
His father's voice entered his ears. Ray flinched. That was not in his book.
Nevertheless, he entered the house.
The first thing he saw was his father sitting on the chair in the living room. Beside him was a beautiful Cathe, holding his hand.
' Woo. I don't expect this situation. I thought I might have some drama for a year. '
" What is happening? " Ray asked, gathering the attention to himself.
His mother looked at him and pointed at Nathan, " Your father betrayed our trust. I found him fucking that woman in the car. They are literally on the road in front of the streetlight. "
She grabbed her face and looked at the floor. " I feel so shame. "
Ray chuckled.
The sound stopped. He looked up and said. " What? It is funny. I don't think Dad would have this kind of fetish. "
" To be honest, I don't care what is happening inside the house," Ray said.
" You are our son. " His mother said.
" Mom, you are also having an affair with our neighbour. Don't make it worse. Just deal with this situation on your own. I am a victim here. "
Ray said and headed Upstairs. Now the living room was booming with noise.
At first, he wanted to see how the two would cheat on each other. He was rooting for his father since then was a work ethic.
But looked like he underestimated his father's fetish.
Now that the situation was busted he didn't have fun in the yelling contest. He took off his clothes and entered the bathroom.
He had not enjoyed the morning shower for a long time. He messaged his shoulder and walked out of the bath.
Water made his hair heavy.
He opened the internet for the first time in five days.
' Let's see who massages me. ' He rubbed the towel harshly on his hair.
" Gein with a school project. He needs to copy my homework. Hron for his birthday party. I will ignore all the women. "
His eyes landed on Gwen. He saw three dots on her profile.
Soon a message arrived from her.
Ray threw the phone onto the bed and started to dry up his body. He then wore his blue shirt and wore a white cloak.
As for the pants, he selected the grey one.
After dressing up neatly, he looked at her message.
[ Are you free?]
Ray typed.
[ I am. Wanna hang out.]
[ Sure. But pick me up from my apartment.]
[ Sure.] Ray sent a huge thumbs.
He then called Mason here.
He looked at the tools around his waist and adjusted them. ' It is too edgy. '
He took out both of them and combined them into one long metallic belt. He attached it to his usual leather belt and it looked fine.
He walked around and jumped testing his body comfortably.
' Look like I should create nanotech. Nah. It is too overrated and ugly. I like this kind of morphing better. '
He flickered his waist and felt a slight weight change. His hand movements were a bit fast.
He had no money for the date.
Then he remembers to text Mason to bring money. They were treasure chests. He just needed to put his energy into three days and they were ready-made goldmine.
He headed downstairs and left the house quietly. The argument was heating up.
***
In the five families' meeting.
The head looked around his male, family and friends. He said.
" We need to kill their scientist. Right now, Rigo is expanding his family. Last night, our team got killed by Rigo's weapons. "
" Their weapon is strong enough to pierce cars and shoot through our people. You all have seen the video. "
Suddenly, a knife was stabbed in the middle of the table. Silent hung in the room.
" Give me the money. I will kill the scientist for you. " The man spoke from the shadow.
It was like a mist. His presence was faint even though he was inside the small room full of people. Nobody detected him unless he declared his presence.
The head looked at the man and said. " Name your price. "
