A peek on the usual

In Zircon City, the Jade Dragon Organization existed to protect the welfare of Zircon City's citizen.

With all the new abilities popping every now and then, they have to peer their eyes and ears open. Those who have abilities are both a gift and a curse to a place.

There are some who are good, and some who were bad. But there are ones who are practically crazy and commits acts no one could understand. They live like essentrics sometimes, or moves like shadows ready to strike.

When there is a new ability user, they must be checked for anything suspicious.

So, if there was an ability user who does not comply, they are seen as threats to society and were either k*lled or imprisoned.

Its based on what type of misdeed they had committed after all.

Some of them gets a chance to work for their freedom, and that's where the Jade Dragon gets the best of their intelligence officers.

"Hey Reom, here's today's tofu."

Uncooked Tofu and smelly tofu for today's stall since its Saturday.

"Ah thank you AhSu. I'll be going now, finish your homework and eat lunch alright?"

AhSu pouted. Seems like her brother won't be home early today, huh?

She Escorted him to the door and watch him leave, waving him a goodbye.

AhSu, since it was Saturday, grabbed the broom outside and started to clean around. It was the early days of fall, and dried leaves surrounded the apartment.

"Good Morning AhSu!"

Their neighbor, Mrs. Lu greeted AhSu as always. She was already 80, but her gait looked like she was still 60. She walks around with a cane, and takes care of her blind husband.

"Good morning Mrs. Lu."

Unlike the world before, where ethnicity and nationality was a huge thing that everyone is so concerned about, the world today doesn't really know much of their roots.

After the great flushing decades ago, most races had ceased to exist and slot of new ones popped out.

That's the case with Mrs. Lu's husband whose family name sounds so western, but looked none like how they should be.

He's a tall man with tanned skin and crescent blue eyes. While his wife looked more western.

But AhSu liked the pair of old mandarin ducks, they're sweet, peaceful, and always gave her homemade sweets and soups especially back in the days where they were too poor to eat thrice a day.

"Good girl, is your brother working today?"

"Ah yes, he's selling Tofu today. Are you headed somewhere?"

"Ah yes you know me. I love walking to the market and pick fish for my husband. He's craving for fish nowadays and he definitely loves my fish stews."

For an old lady, Mrs.Lu always sounds energetic than she looked.

It never fails to amaze her how full of vigor she was. But isn't that something to be thankful?

After a few words was exchanged, she waved goodbye to Mrs. Lu and continued sweeping the ground.

'I wish that me and Reom could stay together as we grow old too, forever.'

In order to do that, she has to become stronger too.

Her brother just called to tell her he was called in for a mission, can't come back for a day or two. With nothing to do, AhSu decided to go out and eat some hot pot from outside and probably watch news online to guess which mission her brother had taken.

It always happens, especially since he is a messanger errand boy or something.

"Hey uncle, I wanna order."

As she sat there looking through her phone, a couple of men passed by her, talking in hushed voice.

But she clearly heard Jade Dragon and Demolition in their conversation so she followed them with her eyes until they disappeared into an alleyway.

" Lil' lady, here's the usual!"

The chime from the owner took her out of her focus. Is this why Reom didn't come home?

At that same time, Reom had boarded a plane to another country where he met with the team he would work with this time.

Unbeknownst to AhSu, her brother wasn't just a normal member of the Jade Dragon Organization. He passed the tests and qualifications as a special operations agent.

That's why his privileges and pay seemed higher than normal.

"Your task is to protect the son and daughter of Patriarch Mitchell Dawn. The enemy is from Scorpius so be careful."

"I'll do my best."

Of course he would, since he still need to go back to AhSu and have hot pot.

He can't mess it up, she'll be really sad.

He and the team dispersed, and his role would be a second generation young master so that he could stick with the clients.

This is how he would meet Shayla Dawn, the precious daughter of Mitchell Dawn from the Solarium Saints Palace, an organization that serves the deities of the Sun.

AhSu definitely misses her brother, worried for him but also dared not to admit she WAS INDEED scared for him.

She worked hard to maintain her tough image. If that Reom finds out she was so worried then he would make fun of her. He's really good at it!

So she held her phone and sent a bunch of mean sounding messages.

AhSu:Hey u still alive? (1:05 pm)

AhSu:Did u eat crap? Why not answer? (1:21 pm)

AhSu: Hey airhead, what type of trouble are you getting in to? Will this delivery service take long again? U should get your lazy *** up and do ur job faster! (1:30 pm)

She frowned. There's no use to this why was she doing it anyway? As if she wasn't used to it...

"Hmp! When he comes home he's paying for my hot pot! Curse that guy he doesn't even give me a call or something I'm worried here!"

With an angry frown pout, she threw her phone into her bed and went to take a bath.

Even checking it right after, Reom still didn't reply.

She disgruntedly cursed him again in her head before climbing into her bed to sleep at 6:30 pm.

Pretty early huh? well, she needs to wake up early since she decided to sell eggs tomorrow.

Reom would be so surprised when he comes back.

" Hmp, I shouldn't worry about him. He's gonna be fine. Wait, I'll tell him to bring back some sweets when he comes home."

So she sent him a message containing an angry threat for some candies.

AhSu: No candies no Studies, no college!!!

Then content with how she delivered the words, AhSu closed her eyes to sleep.

'Don't worry about him. He's gonna be fine.'

Was what she last thought before drifting into sleep.

AhSu wasn't a child who would dream. They say your brain is healthy if you have dreams, but in her case she was a dreamless person. Rather than that she just sits in a black abyss, with no sound, no nothing.

But tonight she dreamt of something that seems to be not a dream.

It felt.. Lifelike.
