Dear Enemy
Chapter 12 - Conversation with Ken

The man who had been talking to him was silent. He really didn't know what was going on. Everything is more complicated than he imagined, and even he now understands the reason why Nico, the head of their syndicate, is so restless that Lucy confronts Beatrix. Lucy and Beatrix are two among the four strongest main pillars in their syndicate in the Sheilla and Grayson generations. They are two of the four most highly trained and accomplished agents. Four of them are Daniel, Jean, Lucy, and Beatrix. But since Beatrix betrayed and turned enemy to their syndicate, she was replaced by Aland. Of these four pillars, they had experienced paralysis due to Beatrix betrayal and even allied with a dark organization containing an international mafia association.

But what happened was beyond their expectations. After Beatrix's betrayal, the woman helps the black organization to destroy their syndicate, which has been considered one of Britain's walls of protection. With his old identity, Beatrix destroys their syndicate through Lucy. Killing everyone's most precious person in his life. And his plan works, SGLS, the syndicate they're in, dissolves after Beatrix fakes his death and destroys Lucy's life.

Even since the joint mission they were on, the woman decided to retreat and suddenly disappeared without a trace. The woman went into seclusion just as an agent should have done when they got out of their syndicate. Over the years he disappeared without news, and during that time, Britain began to be re-colonized by the mafia who committed various illegal acts there. But thanks to the determination of someone who wants to rebuild their syndicate, they can finally get back up and ask Lucy to rejoin. Especially after someone found out that Beatrix had been faking her death.

“Now you understand right?” muttered Sheilla who was now leaning her body on the sofa and raised her head, staring at the ceiling of their personal space. If you remember the incident again, Sheilla seemed to go back to the times where it actually happened.

“Yes, I understand.. so that's why Nico is so anxious, huh?”

“True.”

“I would probably feel the same way that Nico felt that I was in his position. Lucy is a valuable asset to Nico and our agency. So no wonder he is afraid that what happened in the past will repeat itself.”

“Iya.”

“Oh! By the way, what time are you coming? Should I pick you up?”

“Haha, no need, I've arrived home since earlier.”

“What? Then why didn't you tell me?! I want to meet my nephew. I haven't seen him in a long time.”

“He's asleep. Tomorrow you come.”

“But I brought him a gift, as an apology because I couldn't come on his birthday that time.”

“What are you really? How dare you obstruct my kindness to my own nephew! Hear that! He's the nephew I love the most, and you can't—“

“I AM HIS MOTHER, REMEMBER?” Sheilla pressed her sentence. She understood her brother loved her son very much, even the relationship between the two was very close. But giving a gift of more than twenty already made him feel burdened. The man who became his only brother was too kind, and Sheilla just did not want his kindness to make James behave spoiled. Moreover, his brother always obeyed everything that James wanted.

“Oh, I forgot haha. You can't get in the way of my relationship with James!”

“Huft~ is up to you. But you don't have another mission?”

“Nico gave me time to rest for a few weeks, so I was free, and during that time, I wanted to spend time with my dear niece! Ugh I can't wait to meet him.”

“You must be patient until tomorrow! Oho! And don't forget to bring us souvenirs for your mission trip to Russia.”

“I won't probably forget. I of course took the time to bring souvenirs for you and others.”

“I'm waiting.”

“Then I'll see you tomorrow, you'll want to rest, right?”

“Yes. See you.”

Sheilla cut off her phone unilaterally. He then put his phone on the table right in front of him. Shortly after she ended her call with her brother, Grayson finally arrived there to see her.
