"Can someone tell me who is that person? You've been calling that person without a name. It kind of irks me. Who is it that is so mysterious person that you can't even say the name?" Carl can't seem to take it anymore. He's been listening restlessly from the side. He had been wanting to ask the simple question but couldn't find the perfect timing to do so. Thus, he's been holding his tongue. Only now he manage to say it out loud. Tristan and Zeus looked at each other before they moved to the big sofa and sat there.
"Hey, don't keep us in the dark. Let us know who is it." Harrison insist.
"It's not like we don't want to tell you. But we have limited info on this person. All i know he was Cole's bestfriend. Cole introduce him to us once. And we don't really care about him at that time since he's not related to the Underworld. But who would have known he slowly made his way in without us realizing and planting spies everywhere. Harrison knew him well. He's called Brian. Brian Conrad." Zeus answered. Once again they became quiet. Who doesn't know Brian Conrad. More like Harrison is the one recognize him the most. He's the recently appointed Major General. The one who had the potential to be his next candidate for a higher position. He accomplished every mission given to him with flying colours. Every mission he accept, he will be praised greatly. Even Harrison himself looked up to him. Some even say that Brian Conrad will replace Harrison in no time. Seeing how easily he achieved at this point with all of his glorious winning. The rest knew him from Harrison since that's all he talked about most of the time. But after hearing this from Zeus, he's not sure about this two faced Major General. Things just gets more complicated. With all of this happening, only Cole had the solution to everything. And Aurora. If she knew who's Cole, then she must have known about the imposter. Come to think of it, whenever he mention about Brian achievement, Aurora only sneer without making any comments. He can sense some dislike feeling from Aurora everytime he says Brian's name. He didn't think of anything back then because Aurora is not someone who's warm with anyone except them and the people she knows. But it seems that's not the case for Brian.
"Damn!!! Just what kind of person is he to be able to sneak his way in my own territory. Does he think this general is easily fooled? To think that i praised him back then and even aprove on giving him that title. I ought to kill myself." Harrison was in rage. If what Zeus said is true about creating a new Gotham City, then with the way things are then he almost accomplished his goal.
"And it seems he's using us as well. I remembered receiving an order for the new weapon that both Jacob and I invented few months ago. It was from the military. I thought it was strange because you didn't mention anything about it but it seems to make sense now. That Brian guy must have used another trick of his to try and get a hold on the newest weapon." Aaron add another shocking info. This matter cannot be taken lightly. By hook or by crook they need Cole to fix the situation. Unfortunately he's amnesia. Leaving them feeling helpless. All of them start to look into detail and work together to figure out how to stop Brian from taking rein over the country. He could start a bloody war if they let him be. First thing first. They need to let Cole start ruling the Underworld again. Putting the throne back to where it belongs.
"How did this Brian contact you guys? Did he plant a lot of spies around Harrison as well? Only Harrison knows about the weapon that you created." Steven asked.
"I think we need to do a major cleaning in our turf. It seems having contact with this Brian guy jeopardize the people around them. This sly fox full of its trick. We should be aware of our own surrounding." Tristan told others. After he heard Steven's question, he suddenly felt like things may not seem simple as it may seem. They needed Aurora and Cole in this case. Only they can counter this sly move. The others seem to realize the solemnity within the sly fox, they need to act fast and think a couple steps early than the sly fox. According to Aurora, never leave the choice onto the enemy's hand. Spread out the plans and improvise every step. Didn't they learn this from Aurora? It seem their peaceful days are over.
While the brothers were brainstorming their head together, Aurora and Cole took a walk on the beach enjoying the view and the company. It was just like a dream come true for the both of them. None seem to care about the trouble that's heading their way. Either they knew it and played ignorant or they just don't see it as important as spending time together with their love one. Cole stopped and look at the woman beside him. He kissed her lips as she smiled warmly.
"I remember everything." He said. Aurora was not surprised as she nodded her head. Having no intention of asking she just pulled him so they can start walking again. Cole was not surprised although he wanted to at the very least. But after seeing her brothers, he knows she's not the person that everyone thought she was. She was never timid nor ignorant. To say she was poor? Hah, he had a feeling she's wealthier than his own family. Probably almost as rich as him being the Lucifer or maybe richer. And he somehow had a feeling she knows about him more including his situation. He wanted to ask but it doesn't seem the right time to ask. For the moment, he wanted to cherish his time together with her. They will have a lifetime to uncover her story.
