《Professional Killer's Death Was Temporarily Postponed》Epilogue:Taking A New Step
Advertisement
[9:00 A.M.,April 15,2031 in a coffee shop in America]
It's been while since I saw the outside world.In the past 3 years,I'm just surrounded by walls and ceiling,but right now I'm enjoying this cup of cappuccino.
I'm here in a coffee shop,which was owned by White and his wife.After two days since that private meeting between me and the Head Chief,I finally got freed in that prison.
Head Chief already give me the money I asked,in a form of bank account.He is also provide a shelter,but since I will tour around the world,I might not be able to use this.Maybe I will just rent a hotel.
White,the guard in my prison,comeback here since I will be temporarily freed for a mean time.
I take a sip of cappuccino.
It was delicious.Actually,this coffee by White's wife.I have to give compliment to her later.
While I'm here to this place because White invites me,I'm also here because I'm specific person.
And speaking of the devil,the bell at the top of the shop's door rang,indicating there is someone enter the shop.
And that someons is who exactly I'm waiting for.
"Yo,the greatest killer of all time.How's the outside world?."
"Actually I'm quite refresh,George.At the same,I noticed some changes in the buildings and architectures since the last time I saw them."
Yeah,it was actually George I'm waiting.I called him to meet me here in this place to ask some questions bothering me about that incident in the basement.Also some questions about 'me'
"Don't call me with that.Just use me name."
"I'm sorry.I'm sorry.It just fits you nicely.Anyways,what do you want to ask?."
"For starters,sit down and order something."
"Okay."
George pick up the menu list and look for somethibg to order.
"Hmmmm.Maybe I will just also with a cup of cappuccino.A piece of this strawberry cake."
Coincidentally,the waiter come and George told what he wants to order.

"Okay,so what you want to ask?."
"First is about my identity as a professional killer.Did the media shows that I'm a killer?"
"Actually,the media only reported that 'tragic incident' 3 years ago and they only said that you,the notorious killer,already died that time."
So in other words,many people believe that I already died,but the truth is George's organization arrested me and imprisoned me for about 3 years.
"So you don't need to worry anymore.Most people will see as a normal civilian,unless there are some people like Thinker."
Specifically,if there is someone who is my comrade form that 'group' who still alive today.Since all of my comrades was supposed to died from that time.
"Okay.That is good to hear.So this is my second question.Where are the leaders from that organization when the enemy attacks?.If all the leaders are presented,the casualties may not be tjat high."
"All the leaders,except me and Johnson are in their own respective jobs.They all leave immediately after that meeting where you are presented."
Aaahhh.So after that meeting,where all leaders vote wether they agree or not to my death penalty sentence,they all left to do their job.
"So the leaders was also doing their jobs at different places around the world?."
"Yes.Since they are assigned into a specific countries."
"Okay.This will be my last question.It is bothering for a while now after that incident."
I paused a little bit and finally said:
"You see,the moment when all the leaders left the basement,few days later,the enemy attacks.Do you think this is too much for a coincidence?."
"....."
George froze up a little bit.
Coincidentally,his order arrived.So he take a sip of cappuccino and eat some cake.I also do the same.
After finishing eating his cake,George finally spoke up.
"You're right.Now that you said it,it is kinda suspicious.So in the words,you're telling me that...."

After taking some cappuccino,I continued his sentence.
"There is a traitor among the organization.Specifically among the leaders."
That's the conclusion I come up.Though it is not my position to doubt these leaders still,anything is possible in this world.
"Did you think I'm the traitor,Holiday?."
George asked a suprisingly question to me.
"No but the possibility is not 0.Actually,I'm more suspicious than the leaders."
"Well,if we will based it to your background status,then what is you are saying is right,though I'm not really doubting you."
Background status huh?Since I'm a 'former' professional killer,I wouldn't surprised if someone doubt me as traitor.
"By the way,Holiday,you still don't know where to start acquiring to your team,right?."
"Now that you said it,I still not have any idea where to start."
"About that...."
George pulled out his smartphone,used it(probably he was looking for something)and gave it to me.
"Since I also doing some jobs,I found that this one may catch your attention."
I looked to the phone and it shows a picture of girl.
Hmmm.How should I decribed this girl.She has short hair,but not too short.She is also has beutiful face,but not top-tier.Well in short,just average.But based on her face,she was probably around 18-20 years old.
"Her nameis Isabella Oliveira.That girl was wanted in Brazil because she is a thief.But not just ordinary thief.Many people considered her 'the greatest thief in the past 10 years in the history of Brazil'.Actually my job is to capture her,but again she may catch up your interest."
"So you're telling that I should acquire a thief to my team?."
"It's up to you.If I remember correctly,I think you said you need a detective and one who is specialize in bomb.Of course someone who is great in knives and guns are already given."
Hmmmmm.A thief huh?.
I guess it would not be a bad idea.
"Laslty,that girl has a $1,000,000 bounty in her head.So it wouldn't be not be surprising if many people already searching for her."
Well one million dollars is huge money so yeah,I think I needed to act right now.
"Okay,I will take my leave now.How about you George?."
"I guess I will stay here for a little bit.I will ordered again one more cake."
"Then I guess this a goodbye for now."
"Yeah.If you needed me,just call me."
"Sure."
I stood up to my chair,go to the main counter and saw White.
"So you're leaving now.Mr.Murderer?"
"Don't call me with that nickname in public.People might the wrong idea here."
"Goodluck to your journey,Mr.Holiday."
"Thanks.By the way tell to your wife that her cappuccino is very delicious.If I'm have time,I will go back here again."
With that,White wave his hand after I finally left the shop.
Whilw walking on the street,I took out a cigarette and light it.It's been whilw since I take a cigarette.I would like to do it inside the shop,but it was prohibited.
"I guess I will take an airplane."
Isabella Oliveira.The great thief from Brazil.One million dollars bounty in her head.
Let's see whar kind of encounter I will have with this girl.
I reached the predestrian lane,but the traffic light with a red sign with it.
While waiting to cross to other side,I look to sky.
If Julie was alive,I wonder what she will say at my current situation.
I was supposed to be dead right now,but thanks to some 'circumtances',I at least manage to postponed my death.
And right now,I'm in my to make my own team.
The traffic light turns green,indicating it is time for people to cross at the pedestrian lane.
Yeah.
Professional killer's death was temporarily postponed.

8 154Cast Under Ellitis
Ellitis, a world of sword and magic. Massive in size, with most of its surface unexplored. Where dragons and spirits dwell amongst men and demi-humans, where gods and devils alike barter with mortals and immortals. Beautiful as it might seem, mystical even, Ellitis is not a world for the frail. It is a place where the strong prey upon the weak, and where the weak struggle with every fiber of their being to overthrow the strong. It is here, in an unsuspecting corner of this world, that an unfortunate soul was born an orphan by the mischief of beings untold. Eliot Wyon, formerly known as Eliot Alderman, was just a mediocre engineering student in his past life. Perhaps without any help, this life of his will be just as boring as his last. But throw in an impish ex-goddess to help him along. Maybe, just maybe, he could make this life a bit more interesting. ----------------------------------------**Author's Note**---------------------------------------- Hello Everyone, I am Vi, Cat Vi. This is my first attempt at writing a story. I am a complete beginner at this. The closest thing to an organized story I’ve ever written is essay reports back in high school. There might be syntax errors and weird language all over the place. So, apologies in advance. I’ll be trying my best to make this story as interesting as possible, and with your feedback I am sure I can make something nice out of it. Constructive criticism is appreciated. And you are welcome to comment any errors you might notice. I’ll try to fix them up as soon as I can. For now, I don’t have a schedule. But if the story gets traction, I will try to work something out. **Cover Image Drawn by me.
