In the moonlight slipping through the canopies of the century-old trees, a well camouflaged tree house can be seen with two guards with a sniper rifle and an assault rifle playing cards as another one kept observing the surroundings while having a smoke to keep the cold out.

"Hahaha….That's a flush, Fred. Your booze is mine for the next two days. Another game?"Said Eddy with a smug grin, shuffling up the cards once again ready to play another round.

"Sigh, never mind Eddy. My luck has been line sh*t since morning. First, a bird pooped on my face as I just looked up at the sky when they dropped the supplies in the afternoon, then got a message from home saying my brother got into gambling trouble again getting himself locked up unable to pay the debt and not even cards aren't favoring anymore man."Said Fred with a hand rubbing his face in a low mood when he heard a sigh and a whisper in his ear from behind his back.

*Sigh*"Indeed your luck is really bad man. Don't worry I will end it for you so that you won't have to suffer anymore, forever." Whispered Lancer while slitting the throat of the unlucky nightwatch in front of him before he could comprehend what's happening and threw the flying knives towards the other two ending their lives in the blink of an eye and proceeded further into the forest swiftly using the branches and melted into the darkness.

Similar killings happened throughout the forest taking out the outposts at the same time as dozens of dark shadows can be made out in the moonlight flickering through the forest at inhumane speeds as they continued their slaughter throughout the night. This slaughter-fest not only happened in the forest but across various locations around the globe including public places, nightclubs, highly secured residential areas, classified military districts, human research institutes, etc. All this while the whole world slept throughout the night peacefully without knowing the earth-shaking news they will discover when they wake up.

As sunrises and a new day begins, many high-level members of different countries wake up to find a sealed file placed by their bedside without their knowledge which most people ignored thinking of checking it later as they went on with their day just to receive reports of mass murder of various officials in different departments, local mafia, known traffickers, international criminals, etc.

Location: White House

Listening to the reports of his subordinates about the killing that happened last night around the globe removing various cancers in the society, Lathen kept a cold face, unable to let the staff guess his thinking.

Taking a look at the still sealed folder he had a guess in his heart as he said," Okay, enough of that. Have you checked with the security department, Hanna? Noone entered my room after I slept last night, correct?"

Wondering why he would ask such a weird thing, Hanna kept her opinion to herself as she replied," Yes, sir. They have confirmed that you were alone in the room the whole night. Even the recording confirmed the same, so did the dark guards arranged next to you."

‘If what I guess is correct there should be an explanation in this regarding the deaths.’

Lathen calmly tore the seal giving a nod to Hanna. Pouring out the contents onto the desk, a circular hologram projector which looks much more advanced than the one on the market along with a USB rolled out.

'Hmm, advanced hologram projector along with USB. What mystery are you playing man! Tsk.' Throwing the USB to the assistant standing aside motioning him to show the contents Lathen leaned against the chair with interest apparent in his eyes, which isn't present for a long time.

Connecting the USB to a laptop disconnected from all networks to isolate any virus or infiltrations and confirming that everything is safe the assistant projected the information using the hologram projector received along with it according to the instructions when he opened the USB.

Hundreds of images of people of various ages, identities, and ethnicity are projected in the middle of the room as multiple tree diagrams with some information above the top of the head of every individual.

Gasps can be heard across the room as everyone guessed that these are most likely the people who died last night.

Standing up from the chair Lathen crossed the desk and stood in front of the photo that he recognized as the most wanted international trafficker who is also involved in the sale of slaves, drugs, illegal training camps, and various industries banned around the world. As he touched the photo immersed in reading the information projected beside causing the photo to be highlighted as everything else disappeared and the known and unknown information regarding him along with his forged identities, contacts, base camps, safe houses, etc. are displayed with images and recordings making the interest in Lathen's eyes become much heavier.

"Everyone, check out the information of some people at random and verify if it is correct ASAP. Mobilize every resource available near the provided hideouts, safe houses, everything in the folder. If the information provided in this turns out to be true….” Lathen kept silent as he stopped from finishing the sentence as he kept looking at the hologram projector in a daze as the others immediately started making calls and scrambled to verify.

As time passes by, the sun also rises above the top nearing noon as a sudden shout in the office, “President!” Interrupted the assistant, bringing back Lathen’s attention from his daze which he has been in for a couple of hours.

“Huh?”Lathen looked over with an inquiring look.

“There is another file in the USB, Sir. It appeared after nearly 25% of the information was read through.” Answered the assistant showing the progress bar on the screen currently showing 75.6%.

‘Hmm, a file for only those who read through. What are you up to....’

“Open it.”
