Chapter 140 - 140. Gala
Markus immediately placed his hands on top of her, trying to support her.
“You don’t have to speak little lamb. We can continue this sometime later.” Markus said, watching her fighting an internal battle.
“No. I want to share this. There will come a day when you should know this. Let me speak.” Kizy said and resumed with her past.
“Jason wanted to reject the invitation. He was well aware about the type of dirt these places were. He didn’t want his teammates to be involved with people from that world.
But it was me, Rose and Harry who insisted. We wanted to see this world, experience what it had to present us. Thus for our stubbornness, we decided to attend the two day Gala.” Kizy said.
*1 YEAR AGO, ANNUAL GALA, GREEN TRIANGLE*
Kizy and her team reached the Green Triangle via a cruise ship. All of their invitations were checked the moment they stepped on land.
Once they were verified, their group was allowed to enter the island.
One good thing about their invitations was that no identity was revealed. Plus knowing that they will be surrounded by enemies all the time, everyone entering this place would be wearing artificial skin masks, which was no secret.
Kizy’s team was also wearing those masks, hiding their real godly appearance with simpler masks which could help them easily merge with the crowd.
One team from the organisers was present to guide people to their respective rooms. This was a safety measure taken by the organisation to make sure that people wouldn’t be lost in the deep jungles surrounding Green triangle from all sides, which was habitat for wild dangerous animals.
Jason was walking ahead, followed by Kizy and Rose, who were followed by Harry and Victor. Three men were guiding them from the front while three were keeping watch from the back.
“Is it true that the Gala is being organised after ten years?” Jason asked, trying to know more about these people guiding them.
But as he had expected, none of them answered and kept walking as if he never asked anything.
Finally after walking through various jungle trails, making turns here and there, the group reached a place which looked otherworldly.
Unlike the jungle surrounding it, the place was covered with glass buildings, reaching as high as the eyes could see.
They walked even more ahead, arriving in front of one huge gate which led into various glass covered paths.
One of the men from the front verified his identity before leading the group inside the gate. But he paused once they were inside.
“Males and Females would separate from here.” The man said.
“Why?” Jason asked, not liking this arrangement.
The place was entirely new to them, with enemies present all over. He was responsible for his teammates. But how was he supposed to leave half of the members on their own?
“For safety reasons, males and females have been arranged in different arrangements.” The man replied calmly.
Rules for the Gala were always strict. All major groups and personalities were invited to the Gala. Thus they wanted no accidents or mistakes.
Therefore there were strict rules which had to be followed by everyone, no matter how infamous or successful you were.
And for those who didn’t know how to abide by these rules, the organizers would add them to black list. And black list by organization was like a death penalty. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The person committing a mistake or breaking the rule would never be allowed to take any missions which would be announced throughout the underworld. And the lone purpose for their living would be taken away. What were they supposed to do if they were not allowed to take any jobs?
“Also, we recommend you to not leave the places without our allocated people as this is surrounded by a jungle area. There are wild animals out there, who can easily kill a human without even letting them scream for help. So it would be better to have someone to always guide you.” The man continued.
Jason and his team nodded.
From there, three men guided Jason, Harry and Victor towards one direction while the remaining three guided Kizy and Rose in the other direction.
Kizy and Rose didn’t utter a single word for the entire walk, as warned by Jason.
Finally the three men stopped in front of two buildings where only females could be seen.
“They will be in incharge from now.” One of them said, pointing towards a woman who was approaching them.
The woman came and guided them inside one of the buildings. They entered the escalator and the woman pressed the twelfth floor.
Once they had reached the floor, the woman walked out, followed by Kizy and Rose.
“You can choose any room between these three.” The woman said, opening the door to all the rooms present.
Kizy and Rose didn’t care much about such things. Thus they ended up choosing the one which was placed in the middle of the other rooms.
“You are not allowed to enter other rooms unless you are allowed voluntarily by them. You can not change your room after this. Don’t roam around unnecessarily as you might get lost.” The woman said monotonously.
“Are we allowed to go to the male section?” Rose asked, wanting to know what was allowed and what not.
“You can, but only till the gates. And that too till nine in the evening, not after that.” The woman said.
Rose nodded and the woman left them on their own.
Rose and Kizy entered the room, locking the door behind them securely, as Jason had warmed them.
Once they were inside, they directly went inside the bedroom, leaving their luggage in the hall. Both of them climbed up the beds and started jumping with excited faces.
“Yayy!! Finally we are here!” Kizy exclaimed.
“It feels so good to have a break after so many months.” Rose said happily.
“But I will miss Jason, Harry and Victor.” Kizy said, remembering how they were separated from their teammates for the first time.
