[Story] King Of Technology – S01 E1635

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1635

Chaos, Chaos Chaos

A devilishly handsome man sat in his private quarters, reading the letters sent by his subordinates.

His smile, though slight, was enough to cause a storm in many hearts, leaving many women breathless if seen. 

In the small but lavish quarters, there were 5 others in his midst. One was his best friend and 4 were his most trusted subordinates.

Pfft…. Bahahahahaha

Rudolf slapped his thigh and laughed till his belly ached when he heard the report. 

“It’s good. It’s good. It’s good that we have the bastard running around now.” Rudolf was in a pleasant mood, but he also knew this was just the beginning of their grand plan. 

Still, he just couldn’t help himself after hearing the news. As a result, he sprung to his feet and was about to flare his hands in victory. It was enough for Sebastien’s sweeping cold eyes to freeze him down in his tracks. 

“Settle down… Your feet are unworthy of my seat.”

“_”

Are you truly my friend? 

Rudolf was aggrieved, feeling a bucket of cold water wash away his triumphant feelings. Helplessly, he stepped down from the cushioned seat he was standing on. 

Ugh~

Who can tell him why his dear sworn brother’s kill joy ability keeps improving so much?

Shouldn’t he be allowed to celebrate if their calculations went as planned?

Sebastien had a slight smile on his lips, looking at one of the letters in his hand one last time before rising up and calmly throwing the it into the fiery flames that scorched the fireplace. 

“Aje. What are your thoughts? How do you think my dear cousin is handling things?”

“Not very well.” Aje stated, as a matter of fact. He was second in command to Ghost.

If it were him, he too would be going crazy, trying to figure out who in heaven’s name was so bold enough to do what they did. 

Hehehehehehe~ 

Don’t forget that they, the T.O.E.P, know secrets and information that many might only know of in their afterlives. 

Of course not all secrets could be connected at once, or even known immediately. However, it was always a matter of time before they knew. Because nothing could be hidden from them for too long. The same can be said about William’s case. 

Many in Arcadiana, and even Pyno, still don’t know that William Barn, Sebastien’s dear cousin, was the infamous Ghostly Prince. 

That’s right! 

They knew of the Ghostly Prince, and even knew of some of his escapades. 

The higher ups didn’t have any inkling of the Ghostly Prince’s plans against Alec Barn. But they sealed off the Ghostly Prince’s activities and his whole existence from those below the top 3 ranks.

Who knows… Perhaps they were trying to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Firstly, anyone who kills a T.O.E.P member must die. This Ghostly Prince person wasn’t the sort of person to join the organization.

No.

To them, he was a potential threat that could disrupt their T.O.E.P actions in Arcadina. And that’s why the beautiful plan of using him to set off Alec Barn was conjured. 

It was because of this that the higher ups relaxed their spying on William’s activities. 

Though Alec was greatly hated by a majority of T.O.E.P members, he still had his friends, some of whom were in high positions too. So should they get wind of the matter, they would definitely sell the information to Alec for a high price. 

What? Friends can’t be businessmen? 

People in their line of business never do anything for free. There must be something of equal exchange involved, even if they were friends/acquaintances. 

Like so, things in Arcadina carried on in this manner over the past years. 

They even hoped that William would also kill all of Alec’s sons, making a clean path for whoever they chose to rule Arcadina next. And as predicted, the plan proceeded so smoothly, that even Sebastien and many in the T.O.E.P had never heard of this person called the Ghostly Prince. 

It was only after Alec’s death that the news ‘somehow’ broke through the organization. It’s said Alec Barn had done the unthinkable, for the organization to make such a brutal move against him.

Such a move should have terrified them. But instead, many sneered at Alec’s demise, feeling they were too smart to fall that easily.

If Landon were here, he would roll his eyes heavenwards at their arrogance. They were all sick! And what they suffered from was a disease he liked to term ‘Acute Egotism.’

For real assassins, killers, and people neck-deep in this profession who had sky-high egos, each of them felt they were too smart and too valuable for the organization to cut them loose.

Everyone felt that if it were them, they would never be caught or fall into a trap, seeing as they were so smart.

What’s more, they felt that even if someone had ill intentions for them, at their level, shouldn’t they be able to feel something? This enabled them to prepare for whatever attack was on the way? 

It was indeed true, because Alec experienced subtle changes in the organisation during the last 11 to 15 years of his life. 

Poor Alec. He had been on edge for all these years while in turn watching out for their every move. But alas… He did not die at their hands, but at William’s, just as the organization predicted. 

Hooray!

The bastard Alec Barn was dead. And the one who killed him, the Ghostly Prince, should have also been hunted down and killed. But who would’ve known that the Ghostly Prince was actually the current William Barn?

No one even knew he was still alive! However, this brought up another issue. 

Long, long ago, the organization made a promise not only to Sebastien, but to his grandfather, who happened to be Alec’s exiled uncle too.

The organization granted them their wish, to deal with all Barns left in Pyno. And since the Ghostly Prince was actually William Barn, the organization couldn’t kill him as they initially intended. 

However, before he or even Landon dies, Sebastien has to play with his little toys to his heart’s content.
