Fate Online: Shadow

"Breaking News!"

"We just received a report that Mine Tech. Industries has released a new equipment for their virtual game called Game Capsule!"

"Now, people could play the game comfortably as they lie down on their capsules! It also has a security function that would protect the person inside in case something bad happens like fire breaking out, home invasion, robbery etc."

"The game capsule allows the players to play the game more smoothly than before, and has ninety seven percent realism than the virtual helmet that only has ninety percent"

"And because of this, the company had decided that the monthly payments for the virtual helmet would be reduced to only $150, while players could now purchase the game capsule for $10,000!"

Michael was watching and was shocked about the sudden news, and he even thought to himself.

’The heck? It wasn’t even a month since they released the virtual helmet and now they’re selling us another equipment and it’s even a game capsule!?’

But even with that, Michael is already on the phone and putting his order for a capsule from the company.

"Yes, that’s my address"

"Early afternoon? Okay, thank you"

’I wonder if I can transfer my game helmet to Tina?’ Michael thought, and decided that he would ask the technician that would come later to install his game capsule.

Michael looked around and thought, ’I wonder where mom and the old man is?’

Meanwhile.

"Do you really have no plans to join the organization at all?"

"You already know the answer for that"

"I know, but you should know that it won’t be long before he finds you right?"

"If it comes to that, then I’ll just give my inheritance to him. I can already make a living from playing games, and it’s not like I need to have that much money to sustain my way of living"

Jenny and Amanda are talking to each other while having tea at Amanda’s home, and at the same time, they are talking about something very sensitive related to Amanda.

"If that time comes, you already know that even with my protection, he would no doubt still try to kill you, right?"

"And we’ve known each other for years already and I know that you’re very stubborn, and it’s impossible that you would just hand your over your parents business to them without putting up a fight"

Jenny looked at Amanda intently, as she sipped her cup of tea.

"Don’t tell me that you’re just gonna handover your parent’s hard work to those bastards who didn’t contribute to its success?"

Amanda didn’t immediately answer and looked towards the sight over her balcony.

"I...I don’t know"

"You already know that I could only protect you in private, if he finds you here, then we wouldn’t we able to do anything to him as you two are relatives. It would have been fine if you two weren’t related at all, but because you are, then we wouldn’t be able to interfere with your internal affairs unless you join us or any other of the six organizations who are enemies of theirs"

"I’ve told you before that I never wanted to deeply associate my to the underworld. I just want to live like a normal girl would. I’m already tired of it ever since I lost my parents during that "war" between our groups"

After that the two girls went silent and just quietly started enjoying their tea time.

"Enough about this"

"Did you hear about Mine. Tech Industries that they had just released a game capsule, even better than the virtual helmet that everyone used to using it for playing games?"

Jenny was the first one to break the silence between them.

"Yes, I heard about it this morning and already put an order for mine, and it would be delivered later this afternoon"

"What about you then? You haven’t been online for two days now, still busy with your work? I told you before that being part of the underground world is so stressful, that’s why I’ve been trying to avoid it for a long time and if you weren’t my best friend then I would have been avoiding you by now"

"Che, I’m just worried that the "bastard" would send people to kidnap you"

"Hahaha, I’m a black belt in both Jiu Jitsu and Karate, I doubt that anyone could easily kidnap me"

"Even though, and it’s not like you could fight multiple opponents at the same time, life isn’t a movie, you know. You could die if you even make a single mistake"

If Michael was here, then he would immediately realized what they are talking about. After all, through the years that he had been together with Amanda, he had already found out from her that Jin is actually her cousin from their great-great-grandparents.

The reason for their conflict is because of her parents mega company that they left behind when they died during a war between Black Skull and Merchant Society, with her family being a member of the latter.

And during that war, her parents were part of the casualties and since then, Jin’s family have been trying to get her to give up her inheritance and passed her parents hard work to them.

But Amanda was stubborn and ran away from home to Central City where she took refuge to her best friend Jenny, who had been hiding her until now, even Michael was in the dark about it until she told him about it in a year that they had been together.

"Hey, do you still remember that guy who helped us before?"

"Michael?"

Amanda answered with a question mark on her head, as she remembered the vague appearance of Michael.

"Yes, how about we hire him as your bodyguard? He’s clearly someone who’s good at fighting that he had even beaten up multiple guys when he saved me from the harassment of Kevin’s brother"

Jenny suggested to her friend with an eager look, but the woman in question immediately shook her head.

"No way! We don’t even know the guy!"

"Come on, it won’t hurt to try. After all, my men wouldn’t always be here to protect you, you already know that my father is against in mobilizing our people for people who are not related to our organization, and if it wasn’t for mom trying to help us in the shadows, then this wouldn’t even be possible"
