Hitman x Wives

Chapter 219 Chapter 219- Disaster Back At Home

After ending the speech, the man told them that they would soon receive a message on their phones for when they should go back to Divinity's HQ. So, Kai and Aria decided to leave the place.

At first, Kai was intending to go back to his city since there was no reason to stay there for a whole week. However, the time was early, he decided to spend the day and then take a flight back.

"Let's go eat." He said to Aria with a charming smile. Even though nobody was watching them, Kai still kept the act simply because he wanted to avoid any possible risk of being revealed. This seemingly affectionate attitude was all fake.

Aria knew that and it made her feel complicated. However, she didn't try to show that on her face and instead smiled back and nodded her head. The two then went to a good restaurant in the city.

It wasn't by any means luxurious but Kai heard that it had delicious food. He also wanted to learn more recipes ever since Eva and Kaya started frequenting his house. Cooking was one of his few hobbies that he enjoyed doing, truly since it followed no rules and wasn't forced on him like many other skills in his arsenal.

After eating lunch, they left the restaurant and headed back to the hotel. Entering inside, Kai sat down on the bed with a sigh. The test passed quicker than he expected and was incredibly perfect, without a hitch. Kai expected a problem to happen but he was shocked to see that no problem happened at all. With how hectic the past year was, a plan working perfectly became something rare.

But, he wasn't going to complain about what happened.

'It's only the first step after all.'

Meanwhile, back in F-Country, Eva was walking back from school. She had already stopped using the car her parents wanted her to use.

The situation in the school as she expected, was rather chaotic. Many people got their hands on Temporary Origin and so they brought them to their friends. In such an environment, mistakes were bound to happen and that was indeed the case.

In fact, that day alone, someone almost burnt the class, another almost froze his friend, and two girls fought, resulting in both of them going bald because they pulled each other's hair. It was comedically bad and Eva could only stop things in secret from escalating.

'What a hectic day… Sigh, I feel exhausted. I want to just cuddle with my love and sleep…' Crying inwardly at her misfortune, she suddenly felt a presence appear out of nowhere in her range of senses.

In contrast to normal people, this presence had their aura blatantly visible as if they were flaunting. It was also too strong to be that of a Temporary Origin User.

However, Eva didn't show a single reaction as she continued walking as if nothing happened. Her face remained calm and collected. In a split second, she created a plan in her head and was executing it. If this mysterious person was targeting her then she was ready to defend herself. If they are simply passing by -which she highly doubted to be the case considering their weird behavior- then she will pretend as if nothing happened.

As she walked, she felt the presence get closer and closer. The more they got close, the stronger their auras became.

'This isn't a normal Origin User… They're an expert.' She thought to herself. However, she didn't fear this person at all since Eva herself was a powerhouse. She was never weak, even more so after the 1-month training with Kai that pushed her beyond her limits. Even now, she continues practicing and training relentlessly.

Eva was ambitious, to reach way beyond what she ever thought she was capable of. Her talent was getting better and better as days passed and the capacity and power of her Origin were also increasing day by day since her body didn't develop fully yet.

'Hm?' Looking around her, the street had suddenly turned empty, and nobody or a car passed by.

Eventually, Eva took a turn to the right, only to see someone, standing at the end of the street with his back resting on the wall.

Eva halted her steps and looked straight at him, her eyes squinting slightly. She knew that person. In fact, most people knew who he was at this point.

"Oh? Isn't that Miss Eva Lavine? What a coincidence to meet you here."

Eva didn't reply immediately as she looked at him with confusion. "Do I know you?"

Although she pretended to be clueless, she already identified him as the handsome Archangel Arthur. He was also the spokesperson for Divinity and the one to appear in Media at all times.

"Of course you do. After all, didn't we work together on that night?" The handsome young man smiled at her with a beautiful smile that could easily charm girls.

However, Eva didn't even care about it let alone get swayed by it. Instead, she continued her small act. "I do not know what you're talking about. Are you perhaps a fan of mine? If so, I sadly don't give autographs or pictures anymore. Thanks for understanding.

With that, Eva turned around, intending to walk in the opposite direction. However, at that second, her senses alerted her as she quickly tilted her head to the side, dodging an attack that happened out of nowhere. Then, she jumped back, creating some distance.

"See? You're the same person I worked with that night, remember? You were wearing a mask but I still could recognize you. No one else could dodge that attack unless they're at your level. Also, I am indeed a fan of yours. But, I'm not here for a photo or an autograph." Arthur had suddenly appeared in front of her with his casual smile.

'He's fast.' Eva sighed inwardly. 'How did he even find me? I'm pretty sure I kept my location a secret and I even alter my aura whenever I leave the house just so that I don't get found.' She thought to herself.

In the sea of new Origin Users, Eva decided to use a simple trick to hide herself among the crowds. She simply imitates their auras. As they say, the best way to hide a tree is to put it in a forest.

However, Arthur somehow not only found her but identified her as the same person who was a part of Operation: Behemoth.

The situation got worse before it even started!

"Hey, please don't be on guard. I'm not here for a fight or anything like that. I just want to talk."

"... Speak."

Arthur looked at Eva for a second before he chuckled. "You do realize that we're in the middle of the street, right? I can't talk to you in such an open place. The topic is too sensitive after all."

Eva looked around her for a second before she sighed. "Where do you want to speak?"

"Over a cup of coffee should be good, no?" Arthur suggested.

"Does anyone else know that you want to talk to me? Oh, right, Divinity is trying to scout everyone, no?" She said in a sarcastic tone.

"No, no, please don't mistake our meeting to be anything of concern to Divinity. I'm here on my own accord. I promise that no one knows about it, not even Divinity." He said with a smile.

"Then, how did you find me?"

"A simple trick. Don't worry about it."

His sly smile irritated Eva a lot as it was certainly nothing but a facade to hide his true self. She also didn't forget the fact that he killed another Archangel and allowed two executioners to escape under mysterious circumstances. Yet, even when that was blatantly true and even though it was supposedly against Divinity's rules, he still got out of it unscathed.

That meant one thing and one thing only, Arthur was backed by Divinity. Or in other words, a huge threat to Kai and Eva.

However, Eva couldn't just deny him now. He pushed her into a corner revealing her identity. If he was to tell anyone affiliated with Divinity, it would be a huge problem that could affect Kai's goal of infiltrating the Organization. She can't kill him either since she was certain that he had trackers all over his body. Divinity does indeed back Arthur, but they certainly didn't trust him.

Nobody would trust a psychopath like him.

'I don't have a choice but to trust that he didn't really tell anyone.' Clicking her tongue, Eva accepted the offer.

"Thank you, Miss Lavine. You're truly as great as I thought you were." Arthur's eyes lit up.

Then, he turned around and started walking with Eva in tow. The two headed to the closest, quiet cafe they could find. Entering inside, Arthur ordered a cup of coffee while Eva simply got a cup of water.

"So, what do you want? Make it quick."
