Fate Online: Shadow

ss club, as those kinds of businesses makes good smokes screen of the real dealings in the shadows ’

Michael glanced at Fox who was laughing happily as she conversed with the elderlies and thought, ’She must have been pretty high up before she retired if she was allowed to use such a simple business as a cover up, but…how come I ’ve never heard of her before? ’

”After all, not anyone can open a branch office ” mumbled Michael to himself as he looked away while sipping his drink.

He didn ’t need to wait too long as only a few minutes had passed before the group of elderlies left the place with a bright chatter amongst themselves.

”Did I make you wait too long? I hope I didn ’t delay any of your appointments today ”

When the elders finally left, the bright smile on Fox ’s face quickly melted and was replaced by a cold look as she walked over to where Michael is and sat across him

”No, besides it was only a few minutes.
Let ’s get to the point, I ’m pretty sure you know why I came here ” placing his coffee on the table, Michael didn ’t even bother with formalities as he went straight to the point of their business today.

”Ma ’am, your tea ”

Then suddenly from out of nowhere, the same young lady from earlier came over and placed a cup of hot tea before Fox, which made Michael raise an eyebrow, because after all, both of them are about to discuss a sensitive topic that an ordinary person should not be hearing.

When the young lady walked away, Michael stared straight at Fox who was calmly drinking her tea.

”What? We weren ’t even talking about anything sensitive ” and Fox just laughed it off as she ignored the look that Michael is giving her.

Michael just lightly snorted at that, as he wasn ’t in any position to lecture her on how she runs this place.

”Anyway, care to explain about the job you sent to me last night? You should know that my scope of activities isn ’t part of your country, unless the job was directly sent from HQ ” said Michael in a voice that only the two of them can hear.

Fox calmly placed the tea cup on the table and answered simply, ”My place, my rules ”

Bang!

Michael angrily slammed his hand on the table when he heard that, while Fox, who saw that coming, quickly picked up her tea.

”Aren ’t you being too unreasonable?! I ’m pretty sure you have others out there who can do this, as I have no plans to look after an idol! ”

Fox didn ’t seem to mind his outburst as she just calmly replied, ”Ohh that, the person who was suppose to take it suddenly got bogged down with the ongoing civil war in the middle east ”

”Besides, isn ’t the pay generous? You ’ll be able to leech off from him for a decade ”

”Only if he makes it big! ” Michael snorted as he crossed his arms.

Fox chuckled as she lightly sipped her coffee, ”Ohh, he will~ ”

Michael raised an eyebrow when he heard that, ”What do you mean he will? Are you a fortune teller now? ”

”HQ plans to take over the company after that guy is…kieek! ” Fox ’s pair of eyes slowly became cold as ice as she uttered those words with a cutthroat gesture at the end.

”So take the job, and deal with it, Mr.
Grey ”

”Tsk! Dammit! ”

In the end, he couldn ’t change anything and could only click his tongue, to his annoyance.

”So I really didn ’t have much of a choice in the end, huh? ”

”Indeed ” Fox couldn ’t help but chuckle at the sight of Michael ’s indignant expression.

She didn ’t even bother to tell him that she wouldn ’t have been left with no choice but to cancel it if Michael came back here the moment he received the notice last night.

Because she only received word of the company takeover from the HQ earlier this morning!

”Anyway, I just realized this earlier, but Fox isn ’t your real alias, isn ’t it? Because I ’ve never heard of you before ” asked Michael, still a little irritated while sipping on his iced coffee.

”Oh that, I took on the name Fox when I retired, but before that…people called me…Rabbit ”

Spurt!!!

Michael was calmly drinking his coffee when he suddenly spurted the coffee from his mouth towards Fox after he heard what she said at the end of her words!

He hastily stood up while giving her a napkin to wipe herself saying, ”You know what! I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment after this, and sorry about the coffee, but it was delicious! ”

Then he fled from the scene like a frightened rabbit and didn ’t even bother to look back!

’Dammit! Rabbit! She ’s that f*cking Rabbit! ’

’Of all people, I just happened to meet her! ’

’I knew there was something wrong when I heard that HG suddenly wanted to take over such a small entertainment company, and it must have been all because of her! ’

Rabbit, a legendary figure in the underground world alongside Zero.

Her track record was even more impressive than when Michael was still active on the field.

A person he shouldn ’t mess with, even when the said person is already retired!

Better not not anger a sleeping tiger if you still want to live long!

When Michael, Fox was left sitting there all by herself, and another surprising thing is that, she didn ’t even feel disgusted to lick her lips before wiping her face.

”It actually taste good, it seems Somin is getting better at her job ”
