One after another, they kept going to different floors, but every floor was quieter than the previous one.
Each floor just kept adding to their hopelessness, desperation, and anguish.
Each floor kept increasing their loathe and hatred toward the killer, but they didn’t stop and searched every floor until none was left, when they were finally certain, that no one was left alive.
At this point, both Skin and Viper were experiencing the worst day of their lives as the scariest possibility in their minds had come true.
“I don’t know who has done this, but I swear I will take revenge.” Skin declared in fury and pain, he was literally talking while gritting his teeth.
Viper though seemed to have become extremely calm outside by now as he spoke, “Leader should still be unaware of this, let’s go report it first.”
Then, they went to the lowest floor under the ground as they walked to the previous room.
Entering the dark room, they saw that Electro was reading some reports with a serious face, this made Viper sure she still hadn’t realized what had happened outside.
Hearing the door open, she looked up and saw it was Viper and Skin, so she calmly said, “Viper, you seem to be fine now, but why do you have that look in your eyes, like something is wrong? And Skin, why do you seem so furious? What happened?”
Turning grimmer, Viper replied, “Leader, something terrible has happened…”
“Huh… what is it?” Listening to Viper, Electro turned more serious as she questioned.
“Leader… everyone…, it seems, everyone has died, every member in our secret base is… dead!” With a grave face, Viper stated.
Listening to this absurd statement, Electro didn’t believe it at all as she had a grin on her face, “What is it? April Fools’ Day? Stop joking around.”
Seeing her reaction, they realized even they wouldn’t have believed this kind of absurd statement before seeing it with their own eyes, so Viper painfully asked Electro to come with them.

TWENTY MINUTES LATER
“WHO?!? WHO DID THIS? WHYYY…?” After witnessing everything Electro screamed in anguish and resentment as tears uncontrollably poured down her face after she witnessed that her left-hand and right-hand men were not joking around and everyone who worked for her was truly dead.
This was the only place she always felt like she belonged to somewhere, this was the place she felt like she was more normal, and more important than all, she had seen every one of them like her own family members, which she had sworn to protect to her last breath.
But now, in front of her, she was witnessing the dead corpses of almost every member of her family.
She was witnessing the only place which was truly precious to her destroyed and taken away from her just like that.
Currently, she was in extreme pain and anguish because of their death, while deep hatred was clearly emitting for the person who had done all this, but above all, she was feeling a pang of enormous guilt for the death of their members.
Because all of this had occurred just under her watch, so with all these mixed feeling currently going on inside her, probably no one in the world could truly comprehend and understand how she was feeling right now.
Some minutes later, she stopped her tears of guilt, hatred, and pain as she looked at Viper with the coldest of eyes he had ever seen as she asked again, “Who massacred my family?”
Understanding that she has gotten a grip of herself, Viper responded, “Leader, we don’t know who has done this, but if I had to guess, it can only be two of these possibilities, one, it could be one of our enemies, or two, it’s one of our extremely strong targets, who lived and did this out of anger and revenge.”
Without stopping he continued, “And about how they had died, as there is no injury on any of their bodies, it can only be done by one thing… and that is… that poison for which I just cut off my own left hand.”
Listening to his words, Electro spoke again, but this time, Viper could see the craze in her tone and eyes, “You have to find who has done this, I want that person and his whole family to be killed by my own hands!”
“Yes leader, I will definitely find who was behind all of this so we would take revenge for every single one of our members together.” Viper replied with cold bloodshot eyes.
Actually, they were all almost on the verge of going insane because of their hatred and the things they had seen, now the only thought in their mind was to take revenge no matter the cost, they didn’t care about anything at all now, as they had lost everything and had nothing to lose anymore.

WITH VIRUS
A day after sending the CEO ugly away with his new orders, Virus was sitting on the couch, smelling the fragrant tea in his hand while taking sips from time to time. He was really enjoying his tea.
But, as he was savoring it, his mind began ruminating about something else, ‘I mentioned Ella that I would bring her on a date soon… today seems to be the appropriate time for that, as I’m not occupied and busy with anything for at least today, so… why not take her on that date which I had promised her.’
Meanwhile, the golden beauty who had made the tea, was also taking sips from her own cup of tea, but unlike Virus, her attention was mostly on her master as she was looking at him with her fluttering eyelashes while deliberating, ‘I’d really love to go out with master…but he hasn’t left the building since we came back from Russia, maybe I should just ask him to go out somewhere with me to have some fun!’
The golden beauty was aware that Virus currently had nothing to do unlike the past as every matter seemed to have been dealt with for the moment, so knowing this, she was hesitating over the decision of whether to ask her master to go out with her.
After finally deciding to tell her master about what was on her mind, her gaze turned downward as she was about to express her question, when Virus beat her to it as he had already made a decision and conveyed his own thoughts, “I wanna go on a date with my Elle, but before that, I need you to tell the CEO ugly to do something for me even if he’s busy with the matters of the company.”
The golden beauty who had almost voiced her words ate them back promptly, hearing her master’s voice as she mused to herself very disheartened, ‘That’s right, master has Ella, why would he wanna go out with me when he has her girlfriend.’
Then looking at her master with that dispirited look in her eyes as she felt like crying inside, she replied and asked back, “Alright master, what order do you want me to deliver?”
Virus, who was extremely sensitive to details immediately recognized that look in her eyes, so he questioned, “What is it, my lil Belle? Is there something wrong?”
