Have you ever had the feeling of being cheated on…?

Or, in a more serious and honest voice.

Have you ever had the sense of being manipulated but you do not trust your gut.

From the day I was born, I have known about the happiness which a family brings.

Never once in my life have I ever doubted that belief.

Not when Kakashi’s parents got killed, not when my father died, or when Rui’s parents died either.

…To me.

They were all in the chains of bad luck.

They were at the wrong at the wrong time.

And since I started Kylia, I have noticed a common pattern that happens almost everyday.

I don’t want to judge and be an unworthy partner, but the eye evidence and suspicion doesn’t really help her case.

That was a dark moment in my life.

The day my father died.

That was the day I started see through the same lens as Kakashi.

This world is a dark and cruel world.

It doesn’t matter how good you are, as long as bad people exist, evil will remain until the very day this world gets destroy.

Wars, diseases, poverty.

All are things the government can prevent but greed and evil has taken completely over their hearts.

There isn’t a single trail of goodness inside them.

As far as I can go.

I will always remain the way I am.

I won’t allow evil to take over my heart.

“Thank you!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the midst of all this, the people in control of the west.

Namely, Cain, Rushed, Sir Augustine and the being of light and dark all gather in a room to discuss their next moves.

“After everything we have managed to gather, there still isn’t any info about the dead corpse of the people you were searching for.” Sir Augustine said.

“I figured. Looks like, there were some interruptions into the 10,000 year war. Since that body that can’t be found, then that means something had to have happened? But what?” Asked the being of light and dark.

“Yeah, so?”

The plans we made.

We haven’t placed them in order, I am afraid they may find a way to walk around the edges of it and escape.

After all, the greatest result we got from that experiment just vanished and joined.

Of course, that wouldn’t have happened if someone did their job right.”

“Ouch!”

There was obvious in the room but no one seemed to care.

The person Sir Augustine was talking about was obviously Cain but he didn’t care but anyone’s words in the slightest.

“You really didn’t think I’d fall for that cheap trick. Heavens, use your brain.” Cain said, mocking him.

The being of light and dark knowed at them, entertained.

He was curious as to what they were trying to accomplish.

Of course, he knew but he thought to himself, “There had to be a deeper reason why they are always fighting.”

Cain was the person who brought the most important side to a business.

‘Finances.’

Cain helped open the operations which fund their research.

The prime example will be the “Nexus Institution.”

In this world, evil people exist and with them prideful people, lustful people and people whose mind is filled with bad intentions to co-exist.

Since the nexus institution’s main purpose is to raise individuals whose abilities are far from the regular person’s.

Cain, a person whose mind is neither good nor bad, saw a way to equally divide benefits.

Simply, put it as.

Give me and I’ll give you.

When noble men sometimes get their workers, concubines, maids or girlfriends pregnant.

They seek help from Rushed to Cain.

Rushed sometimes pretends to be a man; who is being there for the baby.

In short terms, Rushed pretends to be the father of the baby.

But, that does not always happen.

This happens when the lady of the house gets suspicious of the nobleman.

In a situation where the lady does not suspect anything, Rushed then helps locate the woman who is pregnant to the nexus institution secret hospital, this is where they give birth and are sent back to the client’s house. Read this novel at novelping(.)com for the best experience.

The Nexus Institution simply does not care what happens to the mother or father or the baby.

To them, the most important thing is staying invisible and the potential of the baby.

Sir Augustine is the top researcher who developed the studies of the Nexus Institution.

But this was not because he wanted to, rather, it was because he was forced to.

Augustine is fiercely loyal to the being of light and dark.

He was the first person who followed him willingly.

It was simple.

They both had similar similarities.

They were both curious people, both of them also liked playing with ancient artifacts, where it could help them destroy them, they didn’t care.

To them, they were creations whose purpose to live was to satisfy their enormous curiosity.

But fifteen years ago, things changed, and two men joined them.

Rushed and Cain, they joined seeking power to recreate their boring world.

In this world, the only thing that could be called border line crazy is a city level war against monsters from the abyss.

Cain and Rushed then joined the curious duo.

And that was when the search for the body of God began.

At the exact same time, Cain was assigned to create an institution that will bring a lot of benefits and provide a lot of usefulness.

And that, started the “Nexus Institution.”

“Honestly, there is one thing we need to worry about.” Rushed spoke.

As if reading his mind, the being of light and dark said.

“You think someone might intervene?”

“Yes. Since, Max obviously isn’t dumb he will try to interrupt us when we attack.”

“So we need to find a way to diffuse a bomb even before launching it.”

“Pretty much. Even if we managed to stop him, there is someone who might pose as a bigger threat-”

“You are talking about Ria, huh?”

“I don’t think nothing will happen. I mean, he is just a regular kid. You should not fear him.”

To an extent it wasn’t false.

To them, Ria hadn’t shown anywhere close to his fullest extent.

He always hides his potential, partially because he doesn’t even know.

“You should not see him as a true threat, but that does not mean that we should underestimate someone. The more you think you are in power. The more you lose control. That’s how we should move going forward.”

“Yes sir,” they all replied.
