Chapter 4

"what do you mean mr steppings?! This isnt what we agreed on!" kate said, in protest

"calm down miss burbox, im just just testing the waters here. Nothing big." mark said

"dad, i think i--" miku said, before mark makes her stop with a gesture

"so, what will be your decision leonardo?" mark said

"dont listen to him mr rivera, he just wants to play with you--" kate said, before she was stopped by his gesture

"you must stop now miss burbox, as i have the basic authority of a whole nation." mark said, now boasting, as this surprised kate

"just what do you want from me mr steppings?" leo said

"my demand is just simple, for now. Take my daughter." mark said

"but i already have some precious people--" leo said, before he was cut off

"you have no say in this leonardo! Take my daughter, or suffer." mark said, taunting him

"first of all, i have no qualms with the illuminati. Second, do you have any authority to really decide the happiness of your daughter?" leo said, as this also surprised them

"what do you mean leo? Can you explain?" kate said, after she stood up

"if i would explain everything to you maam, you would also be in too deep on this. There are some secrets even you ought not know." leo said

"wise words leo.. and if you knew, you should have really--" mark said, before he was cut off

"the atlantean treasure, ring a bell?" leo said, which made everyone really curious

"what do you mean? Speak now." mark said, now very interested

"if you wont mess with me, or force your daughter at me, i might tell you the exact coordinates it was last found." leo said

"wait, only the higher ups would know of its location. How did you--" mark said, but was cut off again

"code name, Gdrag44. That should convince you enough." leo said, seriously

"th-thats the code name of the legend! That only we know!" mark said, now surprised. "where did you know and hear that?! Speak now!" he said, as he pulled a gun at leo

This indeed alarmed both kate and miku, as they were also confused at what they were talking about.

"mr steppings, please lower the gun down." kate said, softly

"speak now, or forever hold your peace!" mark said, not lowering his gun

"stop maam, you may only be provoking him." leo said, before he faces mark again. "to answer your question, i will only say that i was kevin yu." he added

"what sort of nonesense is this?! Huh?!" mark said, now putting the gun on leos head

As this now alarmed kate so much, she pressed a button under her desk, to call on security.

"dad! Please stop this now!" miku said, now very concerned

"answer me now leo, how die you find out about that code?" mark said, now very serious

"look into your database mr steppings, for more information. Just type in my password: seraphimrequiem#044, and look for yourself. Please also share the info to your other members." leo said, also really serious

"tch! You better be right on this! And i will still ask for info about the atlantean treasure!" mark said, as he now kept his gun

"in any case, security will now be here in a minute! Please do leave this school! Along with your daughter!" kate said, after releiving herself

"no maam, i believe that this may be enough. He may not bother us anymore, if he knows whats good for him." leo said

"and what do you suggest? Let him kill you?!" kate said, very worried

"no, but thats not an excuse to expel miku from this school." leo said, confident

"what?!" kate said, not understanding anything at all

"yes, hes right on that miss burbox. I do apologize for my actions, but thats never a reason to expel my daughter." mark said, sitting down again

"then please explain what happened!" kate said, demanding

"shall i?" leo said to mark, before he agreed. "there is a secret organization, hidden in the shadows of history, from olden times. And that is the illuminati, and they control the worlds governments and military in the shadows." he explained a bit

"all this? For some nonsense?" kate said, still not believing

"you have my word on it miss burbox, we are real. And the code name is for the honorary member, kevin yu, the legend, and a past hero." mark said. "i really cant believe you knew all that leo." he added

"like i said, im his reincarnate." leo said, as like stating facts

"alright, i will have a word with you later mr rivera. And let me get this straight, if i know everything there is to know on what you guys are talking about, there is no turning back on me. Is that right?" kate said

"yes, as far as secrets goes." mark said, as leo agrees

"like i said, there are things in this world you are better off not knowing." leo said

"in any case, i will just dismiss this meeting now, and have you escorted out with security, mr steppings." kate said, now angry, as she sat back on her seat

"that may be fair." mark said

"as for you young lady, your sentence will be prolonged until further notice. Please dont trouble leo in any way, ever again." kate said, as miku was crying at the side

"thats not necessary maam, as i think she can be a friend to me." leo said, as he walks towards miku. "you dont have to worry about anything." he said as he patted miku, who was now crying in relief

"what seems to be the matter maam?" security said, as they arrived

"please escort mr steppings out, now." kate said, commanding them, as they also agree

"remember leo, breathe a word of any secret to others--" mark said, and was cut off

"and i will die, along with those others who might know." leo said, as mark was now assured, and left

"mr rivera, i think i might have underestimated you a bit." kate said, now relieved

"can we go now?" leo said, before kate agrees to dismiss them

Now back to the classroom, where class was now ongoing..

"so, how was the visit?" nikki said, while class was ongoing

"it was kind of ok, he just threatened me with a gun, thats all." leo said nonchalantly

"what?!" nikki said, very surprised

"whats the matter there miss taym?" hera said, now getting the attention of the class

"its nothing." nikki said, being awkward.

"please do be quiet in class miss taym." hera said, as she agrees, before class resumed

"so, what do we do now?" lica said, sitting in his front

"nothing actually. I already took care of it." leo said

"with what? And how?" nikki said

"i just said a secret that no one shouldnt know, but them." leo said, as they now wouldnt pry further, as they know what it means if they know

Meanwhile, at his private office, where a secret meeting with the illuminati was ongoing..

"so, what did you call us for anyways mark?" said one of them on the screen

There were about 9 divisions on the video call that time, all without revealing their face.

"the honorary member, codename Gdrag44, has been revived." mark said

"what?!" all of them in the monitors said, shocked

"what nonsense are you speaking there mark?" one of them said

"even i dont know whats happening, but hes left us something. The location of the atlantean treasure." mark said

"only a handful of people knows the whereabouts of that, and where its hidden. How does he know of it? And what of gdrag44? Where is he now?" said one of them

"hes currently reincarnated as a high school boy by the way, as a senior of my daughter in her new school." mark said

"what?" one of them said, as they couldnt understand whats going on

"in any case, he has left us something, which he says should be shared by all." mark said

With that, he sent the password to them all, to be inputted on the secret software for their organization. Where inside, was just a single video file and a picture.

"just what is the meaning of this mark?" one of them said

"it just means that what hes saying was true, and that we shouldnt really be messing with him." mark said

"in any case, lets see what the video has." one of them said, before they opened it

"good day to all members of the illuminati, we are seeing this. It just means that im dead or something. And if there is maybe a next life, i want to live in peace. Anyways, when i leave leave this world, and this organization, to the next generation of capable talents. But with that, i will also leave one last secret, the secret of the atlantean treaure. Well, to save space for this video, i will just save the coordinates of the treasure, and leave it all in your capable hands. Whether you may treat it as another secret, or add it to your arsenal against the krood. Thats all, and may god help us all." kevin yu said, lying in the hospital bed and sickly

After a while, everyone was left speechless, specially mark.

"and where is he now? If i may ask." one of them said

"at one world high." mark said

"nevermind that, just what the heck is this coordinates? Is he kidding with us?" one of them said

"lets see.." mark said, before opening the picture file. "this is..!!"
