Fate Online: Shadow

The small convoy of luxury cars certainly attracted a lot of attention as it passed through the busy streets of Hanyang and it made everyone on the street curious about the people inside.

Following that, the convoy turned towards a small and dark alleyway just enough for a car to pass through and moments later, the convoy stopped before a small establishment.

"Why did we come here of all places?"

"To see an old friend of course"

"F*ck no, I'm lea- Hey!"

Vroom!

"H-hey!"

Genesis and Monk just got out of the car, but when the former saw the place they stopped at, his heart sank and just as he wanted to go back to the car, the driver of the car immediately stepped on the pedal and left him behind, and Genesis could only watch the convoy slowly leave the alleyway with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Let's head in, I just want to sleep right now"

"No! Let's go to the other place! Just why did you book our accommodation here!? There's two branches here, just why here!? Are you asking me to die!?"

Angered and terrified, Genesis aggressively walked forward and pulled Monk back by his shoulder then grabbed his collars as he angrily yelled at his face, but Monk on the other hand just wore a nonchalant look on his face like he didn't even care about Genesis' literally yelling at his face..

Smack!

"It's just Silver Fox, what are you getting scared for?" replied Monk as he smacked Genesis' hands away.

"Shut up, the two of us didn't break up under good circumstances so I have always been avoiding her ever since, and now, you've actually brought us to her place! You are such a dastardly friend!"

"And that's why…I got kicked out of the temple because I'm such an as*hole"

Genesis was already on the verge of exploding in anger, and meanwhile, Monk just gave him a shrug of his shoulders as it wasn't really his intentions for the two ex-lovers to meet under this circumstances, but because Silver Fox is just more reliable than the other person managing the other branch of the organization in the city.

"You really make me want to punch you in the face"

"Well, well, well, if it ain't Glen. Oh wait, it should be Genesis now, right? Such a pretty name for someone like you"

In the heat of the moment, a cold voice mixed with a playful tone of a woman suddenly interrupted their "warm" hearted conversation, and when Genesis heard it, he quickly got chills down his spine.

Genesis slowly turned his head around like a robot, and with a stiff smile on his face, he said, "S-sun Bin, fancy seeing you tonight"

"Well, I suddenly feel awful after seeing your face"

Hearing her words, Genesis's face suddenly became gloomy and with visible anger on it, but since he's a little scared of Silver Fox, he didn't say anything and just maintained that forced smile on his face.

On the other hand, Monk, who finally got his collar freed from Genesis, walked over towards Silver Fox with a smile and clear happiness on his face.

"Sun! How have you been?"

"Well, as you can see, I'm still doing fine. Though I should be asking you that since it has been a few years since we last saw each other. Though looking at you, I assume that the others are also good and all?"

"Yeah, we're good, and did I mention that Randy now had a girlfriend? He even has daughters now, well, step daughters to be precise"

Ignoring Genesis who was standing and watching them from a distance all by his lonesome, the man and woman chatted enthusiastically with each other like how two gossipy housewives do.

"No way! Will it be fine though? Especially when there's a troublesome bastard lurking around?" Silver Fox said while she threw a quick and obvious glance towards Genesis by the end of her sentence, clearly hinting at something.

"Anyway, let's continue this tomorrow, it's late. Let me show you your accommodation tonight"

"You know, you really didn't need to personally show up to welcome us"

"What are you talking about? You're my senior, welcoming you is the least I could do"

The two of them walked inside the establishment, and when Genesis was about to follow after them. Silver Fox stopped and turned towards him with a frown.

"Who said you can come in?"

"What? Stop being so unreasonable woman. You might be the manager of this branch, but you don't own the place"

Her sudden words immediately made Genesis halt in his tracks, even Monk who had been nonchalant about their interaction until now was also a little taken aback as he wasn't expecting that she'd till try to pick on Genesis, and what she said next just made it even worse as he slowly broke out in cold sweat.

"And your point is? I'm the manager of this place and I have the authority to kick anyone I don't like. I'm not breaking any rules, and more specifically, both you and Monk are already retired members and letting you guys still use our facilities was already me being generous. Of course, it's also because I'm friends with Monk and I owe him lot"

"And you? You're just that idiot ex boyfriend that I regret hooking up with, and it seems like you've grown some pair at least"

"I-Idiot!? How dare you call me that when you were the one who kept clinging on to me and pursued me over and over!?"

"Whaaa? C-clingy!? M-me!? You bastard, you're dead meat! Don't even think of leaving this country alive!"

Angered to the bones, Genesis pointed his finger at Silver Fox and angrily yelled at her, and the latter was also clearly pissed off as both of them soon started exchanging verbal insults!

Pweh!

"Dead meat!? Well, at least you have enjoyed my meat countless times! Also, you've tried to kill me many times, but you always failed every time! You s*ck, b*tch!" Genesis fired back at her while spitting on the ground, his initial fear from earlier had long gone as he was clouded with anger!

"Y-you vulgar pervert, DIE!"
