An average girl like you can really survive depending on the situation and whether or not you have intuition. Could he mean the difference between life and death? This realization weighed heavily on my mind, igniting a spark of determination. I knew that honing my instincts could be the key to navigating the challenges ahead.
Following the death of my mother. My world seemed to fall apart when she left us, and that's when I started to rebel. After high school I was always surrounded by the scent of men and gun. However, it was always only training, and I was never placed in a life or death situation.
I have never had the experience of walking the line between life and death, as Dad described. My nearly death experience was an unfortunate accident that could have happened to anyone, not because I was living a dangerous life.
Now that I think about it. However, I believe I now understand what he means by initiation. What are your thoughts, my daughter? Are there any other reasons, Dad? I'm perplexed and uneasy. In this regard, he and my brother are very similar in this way
Without spending much time observing someone, they can instinctively sense their essence. He probably already knew.
Dude, didn't you know that short guy is a girl? Who are you referring to? Blaire Vladimir? Sshh Lower your voice, idiot, maybe she'll hear you.
I thought I was just imagining that she really looked like a girl. I was going crazy. Because I was falling for a guy. But fucking hell, she's actually a girl? I just realized now why I didn't notice it right away. Estevan said I listened intently as they talked
Miguel burst out laughing. I thought it was just me?. I was also asking myself so many times why suddenly I like men. But now that I know she's a girl. I'm not really gay. Isn't she beautiful?
Even I know that. I don't understand her either. Initially, I was always perplexed by her beauty. I even considered myself to be gay. But now that I knew she's actually a girl. damn it?
If your face appears once more. I'm going to kill you. I was yelled at by one of my military colleagues. I can see why they're upset with me. So I didn't defend myself.
She's lucky. The officer had always had a soft spot for her. he allowed her to stay here. I just patched it up. Everything is because she's the smallest of us. When she takes a bath, she's the last one in the morning. she's the first to wake up. We didn't even notice.
That's enough. Let her go. You idiots. I know you're doing a great job. Blaire. I can't put into words enough good things to say about what you've done here. You're a great person to work with. But I can't accept this. Do you know how dangerous what you did was? Adrian nearly died at your hands. Despite your diminutive size. you shouldn't have done that. You need to leave. I lowered my head in shame at what the officer said. I want to get out of here but not this way.
You're fooling the fucking whole camp. really. Blaire? How did you get in here? Even though you're doing a good job. you're still a girl. You didn't even tell me. Did you not trust me enough? If my superiors hadn't told me. I wouldn't have known you were a girl.
I didn't mean to hide it from you. if you had found out, I would have told you right away, but you didn't ask, so I assumed it was fine. I fell silent, my tears streaming down my face, I looked down so they wouldn't fall completely.
You're so important to me. What if you get hurt because of your act of pretending to be a man? Not only that, you almost killed Adrian. Do you think I'll just watch you? He grabbed the back of his neck and suddenly leaned against the wall behind us. He muttered, "Fuck." He's frustrated. Is our friendship worth nothing to you. Blaire?
He was the first friend I made. When Uncle Arthur, or should I say my dad, forced me into the military academy in China. Even though at first we were like cats and dogs. When we fight. But when we were given a task together. I got to know him better. He wasn't really mean or rude. From that day I always have a soft spot for him. He treats me equally. I always get hurt. But he still treats me even though he's annoyed with me.
He grew up in Spain. and I grew up in California. I recently moved to Korea after my mother passed. Despite the fact that both of us come from the different countries. I've grown to love him as a friend. Every time i see him. i feel like I'm still alive. I consider him. like a brother
He is diametrically opposed to one of his friends. Michael is from the Philippines. He constantly teases me with his Tagalog accent. When he annoys me, he gets so excited that he offers to take me to the Philippines to see the beautiful scenery.
During my four months there, I learned a lot from them, even though it was very difficult for me because I was young back then. I am very thankful because God introduced them to me. They're both kind and very protective of me. Compared to Michael, Vincent and I are slightly closer.
You're also mad at me, Vincent. Because I'm a girl?" He closed his eyes tightly and shook his head at me. Won't you even listen to me even if I explain? I admit it I was wrong. I didn't say I was right. It just hurt me a bit because they didn't even give me a chance to explain.
"Shut up," he shouted at me. This is the first time. We often argue, but he never yells at me. Don't call me by that name. I'm not your friend anymore. You're such a liar. What other lies are you hiding? If you are the daughter of a syndicate, tell me before others find out.
"Alright," I nodded. I'm sorry And first of all, I'm not the daughter of a syndicate, I'm just a poor girl. who work hard to survive. before I could turn around and walk away. I heard Vincent's voice. You're annoying. we'll meet outside. even if you're a liar.
I knew everything before I came here, so you don't have to worry. Thanks to your friend, because he told me everything, I was forced to send you out of there. Even though I knew in the end if that happened you would only get hurt, I still did it for you. You're a big girl now, Blaire. At least you've matured a little bit, so I know you understand my reasons why I did all that to you and your brother. It was never easy for me to make those decisions, but I believed it was for the best. I can only hope that in time, you'll see the truth in my actions and forgive me for the pain it caused.
Daddy listen to me. It's dangerous for me to go somewhere teeming with men. I say this. Because this is exactly what happened back then. I know myself too well. It's very dangerous for me to go teeming with men.
He burst out into laughter. "What do you mean?. Who will be in danger, you or the others?" If I had to pick one, I'm positive it'd be me.
Why? Do you really think those guys there would be able to harm you? Do you think they can hurt you? You yourself are a monster. Who would dare?
Alright, whatever. I'd be the one to. I'll beat them. But if it comes down. Just remember, it's always better to walk away from a fight than to get involved in something that could escalate quickly.
I hope you give it a shot. I'd like to see you try. useless unless someone outranked you. The strongest people rule this society. Do you mean that as long as you're stronger, you can attack anyone? I was unable to speak immediately. You have no more excuses. do you? It's my turn now. He remarked nonchalantly.
Fine how long does it take? Six months just six months after that you're free to do whatever you want. You can quit or continue working there if the lifestyle is to your liking. I will still give you your salary even if you leave. even if you quit now. Therefore. don't try to flee.
It's up to you. You can choose to explore new opportunities or take some time for yourself. The decision is yours, and I want you to feel empowered to make the choice that best suits your future. How could he say I'd run away when I have nowhere else to go?
When should I begin? You might become frustrated if you have high expectations of me. don't expect too much from me. I think too highly of you so don't disappoint me
A job at our company offers fantastic work experience, so you might even be unsure of where to go next. Yes, I'm sure it's no surprise that I felt uneasy this morning because this was supposed to happen.
I'll take you to the airport tomorrow morning, so don't run away. We'll provide the daily necessities, so only bring what you really need.
You can't gamble the family's property as you please. Who do you think you are? "With an unpleasant sound, my head sharply turned to the left. He slapped me.
You're good for nothing. How dare you admonish me? He shouted loudly. The smell of alcohol was strong on the body of the man who had just pushed my shoulders away.
Let's go to sleep. Calm down, Gael. Go over there and stop bothering her. And you, Blaire. He tried to softly appease his drunken brother and then turned towards me.
With a louder sound than the one before, five fingers were imprinted on the other side of my face. he slapped me again.
After three years of squandering our family's money, do you think it suddenly belongs to you? Just because uncle lets you do whatever you want doesn't mean you don't feel ashamed? Gael berated me as he held my face, which he had just slapped twice.
Don't be mistaken because Blaire even Although you and I share the same last name, with the blood flowing in your veins, you will never be a part of our family. All you have to do is to live as our slave.
Do you know where you belong? In prison you're just a useless person. you don't fit in here. No matter how many times i heard those cruel words from them, it felt like a dagger that had just pierced my heart.
If you tell uncle anything that happened today, I'll make your life miserable. With a warning, he spit on the ground and turned around. Soon the sound of the car grew more and more distant.
They left me alone in the dark alley, and I clenched my fists. What sin have I committed to deserve this painful experience in life?
A drop of red blood dripped down on my injured lips.
I woke up gasping for breath. What was that? Just a dream? Why did it feel so real? My heart raced as I tried to shake off the remnants of the nightmare. The shadows in my room seemed to loom larger.
I've noticed for a while that you seem anxious. Is something bothering you? "You look like you're not yourself. Did something happen? I was surprised by Daddy. I felt like I was floating when we were going to the airport. We just arrived here at the Hong Kong's International airport.
This way someone's here to pick us up. Don't be nervous; just act like you used to. Arthur, Is he your son? You didn't even mention you had a son? He's good-looking.
He's there, he is. Blaire
Hello, handsome boy. How is your flight going? Who is he? It seems to me that he is more than just a driver.
Regards, Dominic. Yes, pull out the advertising pamphlet.
Here you probably know a bit about this place because Nathan worked here back then you knew? What is it? A pamphlet?
Conquistador Organization Specifically a leader in the Spanish conquest of America and especially of Mexico and Peru in the 16th century
W-What? My eyes widened as I read what he gave me. what the hell? This is fucking illegal a fucking syndicate
Daddy, did you fool me again? How does Nathan work here? Am I being fooled again? Damn it. Calm down just read carefully
As a nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to dispatching, transferring, and distributing talented individuals to various fields. at headquarters, which houses the majority of the organization.
This contains no information that is helpful. The paper seems to have been wasted. Doesn't it? Yeah somewhat
According to you, my older brother was formerly employed at headquarters in the United States. Didn't he?
Indeed, since your brother is truly a genius. HQ still wants him. But he refused.
Are the HQ regional branches divided like that? Not strictly, but that's how I usually end up.
Conquistador HQ is like the geniuses. if you're not in good physical shape, you can still work there if you're smart. How can I do that if I am not intelligent?
To put it plainly. Churning out MacGyvers is the goal of the regional offices. What? I don't believe I'm capable of that personally. I can do well academically, but that one seems unachievable.
Don't worry, everyone ends up that way after a few months of rigorous training. It's like you're giving me training that I can't figure out how to solve.
There are plenty of attractive men out there, Blaire, regardless of your preferred type of partner. In any case, I don't care I'm not interested. I have so many problems, dad, don't add more, have mercy on me.
How long are we going to stay? I'm sleepy. The driver is chuckled. We're almost there what's your name again pretty boy? After a long period of silence, the driver asked a question, which caught me off guard.
I am Blaire Vladimir.
How old are you? I'm sure when my daughter sees you, you'll get along. What year are you in school? I couldn't speak right away, he had so many questions.
I'm seventeen and in my second year of college this year. I started school early, so I'm only this old. My head hit the back of the seat because the car suddenly stopped.
A what? Goodness, Arthur, how could you bring this son of yours along with you here are you crazy? "Dad sighed. I smiled bitterly.
He is too young for this job. Don't you think that you're putting your child in danger? You should have made him finish his studies first
I understand your concerns. But he needs to learn the importance of courage and resilience. He replied. he glancing at me who watched him
Are you that much desperate? That's your son, you idiot. Would you choose your job over your child's safety? The consequences of such a choice could haunt you for a lifetime. It's time to reevaluate what truly matters and take a stand for your family. It doesn't matter because I'm not really his daughter anyway
This is how it feels when someone is worried about you. When did I start to care about that? I have turned off my emotions ever since my mother died. "'I was quiet while we were on the road and observed what we were passing by, but I was stunned when I saw the road we were traveling.
We have to take a ship. What? Dad you're probably not just joking, right? You know I'm seasick, but you're going to let me get on board now? Dad give some mercy on me
It's almost there. Calm down. I was even more frustrated with him when he said it would be an hour.
A little farther out from the coast is an island. In a technical sense, China still owns it. However, their laws are not applicable there. It seems to me like a location where criminals would have been housed to keep them from fleeing. I can't say, however, that it didn't also accomplish that goal. Every Friday, you have a day off every other week. There are many islands to visit here, it's up to you where you want to go on your day off.
C-China? I asked my father in a daze why, of all the places I could go, it's still the one near China that I don't want to go back to. Is fate playing tricks on me? He looked at me thoughtfully, as if weighing his words carefully. "Sometimes, the places we resist the most hold the lessons we need to learn," he replied, his gaze drifting toward the horizon.
You're used to being a foreigner, so I won't worry anymore because I know you can handle yourself.
Though i guess. you won't be able to leave for next month our joint training period with the Grace branch starts next week. It's fine, I don't mind. I do not even have anything to go home to.
I was just curious. It is not a gathering to foster camaraderie. Is it? No. What are the other branches like, then? Do they differ from one another?
All of our training techniques are identical. Occasionally. Every three months, we even switch a few employees between branches. Each branch, however, has a different
The guys at the South America branch and the one at the Grace and Canada branch are such a bunch of jerks. The spin branch is absolutely the worst; the Asia and Europe branches fight like cats and dogs. I burst out laughing because Vincent and I were like that back then when I was still at the military academy.
But you just said we'd do joint training with them? That's correct. We train with them once a year. And it's a real bloodbath, which is entertaining to watch. Who cares, anyway? If they hit me, I am going to hit them back. He's having a lot of fun with this huh? his face and personality are different.
Is it just me or Just a coincidence that you brought me here just in time? You're going to give me an headache; tell me the truth. You hate me too much, don't you?
