Chapter 135- The Attack & The Return of Mutya
One Month Later
Days passed.
---
Too fast.
---
Too slow.
---
Nobody knew anymore.
---
Life had continued.
---
Or at least everyone pretended it had.
---
The grief remained.
---
Always.
---
But now—
---
Something else existed too.
---
Purpose.
---
And revenge.
---
Watson Mansion
11:47 PM
Most of the house was awake.
---
Movie playing.
---
People talking.
---
JJ arguing with Percy.
---
Freya stealing snacks.
---
Eman cooking something at midnight.
---
The usual chaos.
---
For the first time in weeks—
---
The mansion almost felt alive again.
---
Almost.
---
Then
Everything went dark.
---
Complete darkness.
---
The movie died.
---
The lights vanished.
---
The air conditioning stopped.
---
Silence.
---
JJ
Immediately sat up.
---
JJ
"..."
---
JJ
"That wasn't me."
---
Percy
Percy
"NOBODY SAID IT WAS YOU."
---
Keifer
Already standing.
---
Because something felt wrong.
---
Very wrong.
---
Then
A loud crash echoed from downstairs.
---
And another.
---
And another.
---
Cole
Didn't hesitate.
---
Not even a second.
---
His voice became ice.
---
Cole
"Everyone move."
---
Security Alarms
Suddenly activated.
---
Red emergency lights illuminated the mansion.
---
And then they saw them.
---
Armed men.
---
Dozens.
---
Entering through broken windows.
---
Side entrances.
---
Back doors.
---
Everywhere.
---
JJ
Stared.
---
JJ
"..."
---
JJ
"Well."
---
A pause.
---
JJ
"That's rude."
---
Chaos Began
Immediately.
---
Cole
Opened a hidden compartment.
---
Weapons.
---
Emergency gear.
---
Prepared years ago.
---
For exactly this reason.
---
Keifer
Caught one.
---
Keifer
"About time."
---
Yuri
Loaded another.
---
Yuri
"I was getting bored."
---
Percy
Percy
"This is why normal people buy dogs."
---
Aries
Already moving toward the staircase.
---
Like a man ready for war.
---
The First Attacker
Charged upstairs.
---
Big mistake.
---
Huge mistake.
---
Because—
---
JJ Mariano existed.
---
JJ
Looked around.
---
No weapon.
---
No gun.
---
No knife.
---
Then she spotted something.
---
A decorative silver fork.
---
JJ
"Good enough."
---
Five Seconds Later
The attacker regretted every life choice that brought him here.
---
Keifer
Watched.
---
Keifer
"That's my girl."
---
Freya
Was somehow fighting in heels.
---
Actually fighting.
---
Freya
"If I break these, I'm suing somebody."
---
One Heel
Flew across the room.
---
Direct hit.
---
Freya
Freya
"YES."
---
Lyra
Had found a surgical kit.
---
Nobody knew why she had one.
---
Nobody questioned it.
---
Alex
"Why do you have that?"
---
Lyra
"WHY DON'T YOU?"
---
Alex
Decided that was fair.
---
Rhys
Was helping secure people.
---
While simultaneously wondering how his life had become this.
---
Rory
And Edrix
Had already hacked the mansion systems.
---
Activating lockdown.
---
Security cameras.
---
Emergency barriers.
---
Everything.
---
David
Used a chair.
---
Nobody asked questions.
---
Eman
Used a frying pan.
---
Successfully.
---
Eman
"Cooking skills are versatile."
---
Calix
And Felix
Had somehow built a barricade in under three minutes.
---
Nobody understood how.
---
Mica
Was throwing decorative pillows.
---
Surprisingly effective.
---
Honey
Had stolen someone's weapon.
---
Nobody knew whose.
---
Then
The real battle began.
---
Cole
Handed weapons to:
---
Keifer.
---
Yuri.
---
Percy.
---
Aries.
---
Cole
Cole
"Protect the family."
---
Four simple words.
---
Everyone understood.
---
The Mansion
Became a battlefield.
---
Red emergency lights.
---
Broken glass.
---
Shouting.
---
Footsteps.
---
Chaos.
---
Yuri
Moved like a storm.
---
Fast.
---
Precise.
---
Terrifying.
---
Aries
Protected Ella without leaving her side.
---
Not once.
---
Percy
Was simultaneously fighting and yelling.
---
Percy
"WHO ATTACKS PEOPLE AT MIDNIGHT?"
---
Nobody answered.
---
Keifer
Looked completely calm.
---
Which was somehow scarier.
---
Because everyone knew—
---
This was the version of Keifer Watson people feared.
---
Then
A loud explosion echoed outside.
---
Everyone froze.
---
Just for a second.
---
Cole
Looked toward the shattered windows.
---
And immediately understood.
---
This wasn't random.
---
This wasn't robbery.
---
This wasn't intimidation.
---
Someone
Had declared war.
---
Across The Room
JJ stood beside Keifer.
---
Still holding the decorative fork.
---
Somehow.
---
Keifer
"..."
---
JJ
"..."
---
Keifer
"You're keeping it?"
---
JJ
"It's lucky now."
---
Another wave entered.
---
Bigger.
---
Heavier.
---
More dangerous.
---
Cole
Slowly raised his weapon.
---
His expression unreadable.
---
Cold.
---
Dangerously cold.
---
For the first time since Care's death—
---
Everyone saw it.
---
The version of Cole Watson that terrified entire industries.
---
The version she had begged him not to become.
---
And somewhere—
---
Far away—
---
Someone was watching.
---
Watching the mansion burn.
---
Watching the attack unfold.
---
And smiling.
---
Because this—
---
Was only the beginning.
---
Watson Mansion
1:18 AM
The fight had lasted almost an hour.
---
An entire hour.
---
Of broken glass.
---
Gunshots.
---
Screams.
---
Chaos.
---
And now—
---
Silence.
---
Finally.
---
Silence.
---
The Last Attacker
Stumbled backward.
---
Bleeding.
---
Terrified.
---
Because everyone around him was still standing.
---
Not unharmed.
---
Not untouched.
---
But standing.
---
Cole
Walked forward slowly.
---
The attacker raised his weapon.
---
Too late.
---
One shot.
---
Silence.
---
The weapon fell from the man's hand.
---
Then he fell too.
---
And just like that—
---
The attack ended.
---
Nobody Celebrated.
---
Nobody cheered.
---
Nobody smiled.
---
Because this wasn't victory.
---
This was a warning.
---
Percy
Collapsed onto a couch.
---
Percy
"I officially hate New York."
---
Freya
Was sitting on the floor.
---
Holding one heel.
---
The other one missing forever.
---
Freya
"If anyone finds my Dior heel, I want it back."
---
Eman
Was covered in flour.
---
Nobody knew why.
---
Not even Eman.
---
Alex
Had a cut on his arm.
---
Lyra
Immediately dragged him into a chair.
---
Alex
"I'm fine."
---
Lyra
"No."
---
Alex
"It's tiny."
---
Lyra
"No."
---
Alex
"Lyra—"
---
Lyra
"Sit down."
---
Everyone ignored them.
---
Because this happened daily.
---
JJ
Still had the decorative fork.
---
Still.
---
Keifer
"You know that's evidence now."
---
JJ
"It's mine."
---
Keifer
"That's not how evidence works."
---
JJ
"It does today."
---
Yuri
Was examining the attackers.
---
Checking tattoos.
---
Symbols.
---
Anything useful.
---
Rhys
Sat quietly.
---
Exhausted.
---
Ash
Was helping Ella.
---
Honey
Was helping Percy.
---
Rory and Edrix
Were already pulling data from recovered phones.
---
The usual hacker gremlin behavior.
---
Then
A sound.
---
Crackle.
---
Static.
---
Everyone froze.
---
One Of The Fallen Attackers
Had a radio clipped to his vest.
---
And suddenly—
---
The radio came alive.
---
KSSSHHHHHH—
---
Static.
---
Then a voice.
---
Male.
---
Distorted.
---
Unfamiliar.
---
Voice
"Report."
---
The entire room became still.
---
Nobody moved.
---
Nobody breathed.
---
Voice
"Team Three."
---
More static.
---
Voice
"Respond."
---
Nothing.
---
Voice
"..."
---
A pause.
---
Then—
---
Voice
"If mission failed..."
---
Static interrupted.
---
KSHHHHHHH—
---
Then returned.
---
Voice
"...meet Kaizer after this attack."
---
Every head snapped toward Cole.
---
Voice
"Tell him boss ordered the weapons moved to—"
---
KSSSHHHHH—
---
The signal distorted.
---
Voice
"...Tokyo..."
---
Static.
---
Voice
"...shipments..."
---
Static.
---
Voice
"...enemy Hanamitchi..."
---
KSHHHHHHHHH—
---
Then silence.
---
Complete silence.
---
The connection died.
---
Nobody Spoke.
---
Not immediately.
---
Because everyone was processing it.
---
Slowly.
---
Carefully.
---
Percy
Was first.
---
Percy
"...Well."
---
A pause.
---
Percy
"That's bad."
---
Aries
Crossed his arms.
---
Aries
"Tokyo."
---
Yuri
Immediately looked up.
---
And everyone noticed.
---
Because Yuri's expression had changed.
---
Completely.
---
Keifer
Saw it too.
---
Keifer
"Yuri."
---
No response.
---
Keifer
"You know something."
---
Yuri
Looked toward the shattered window.
---
Thinking.
---
Calculating.
---
Remembering.
---
Yuri
"Hanamitchi Clan has many enemies."
---
Silence.
---
Yuri
"Too many."
---
Ash
Slowly stood.
---
Ash
"Which means?"
---
Yuri
Turned toward everyone.
---
Yuri
"It means we don't know who sent them."
---
A pause.
---
Yuri
"But I know one thing."
---
The room listened.
---
Yuri
"This wasn't a random attack."
---
Cole
Already knew that.
---
Everyone did.
---
Yuri
"Somebody wanted our attention."
---
JJ
Leaning against Keifer.
---
Still holding the fork.
---
JJ
"Congratulations."
---
Everyone looked at her.
---
JJ
"You have our attention."
---
Silence Again
---
Then slowly—
---
Very slowly—
---
People started connecting the pieces.
---
Kaizer.
---
Weapons.
---
Tokyo.
---
Shipments.
---
Hanamitchi enemies.
---
Care.
---
Aera.
---
Everything.
---
Rhys
Finally spoke.
---
The first time in hours.
---
Rhys
"This attack wasn't the objective."
---
Everyone looked at him.
---
Rhys
"It was a message."
---
Nobody disagreed.
---
Because he was right.
---
Keifer
Walked toward the broken window.
---
Looking out over New York.
---
The city lights.
---
The darkness beyond.
---
Keifer
"So."
---
A pause.
---
Keifer
"Somebody wants a war."
---
Cole
Standing beside him.
---
Expression cold.
---
Dangerously cold.
---
Cole
"They just got one."
---
Somewhere Far Away
Tokyo
A man sat in darkness.
---
Watching reports arrive.
---
Watching photographs.
---
Watching the aftermath.
---
The Watsons survived.
---
The Marianos survived.
---
The Hanamitchi survived.
---
And slowly—
---
The man smiled.
---
Because this had never been about killing them.
---
No.
---
This was merely an invitation.
---
An invitation to something much bigger.
---
Something older.
---
Something that had been waiting for years.
---
3:42 AM
Watson Mansion
Nobody slept.
---
Nobody even tried.
---
The attack had ended.
---
The blood had been cleaned.
---
The broken glass removed.
---
The wounded treated.
---
But something else had happened tonight.
---
Something much more dangerous.
---
The enemy had made a mistake.
---
A huge mistake.
---
They thought grief would weaken them.
---
They thought loss would break them.
---
They thought Care's death had destroyed the family.
---
Instead—
---
They had created something worse.
---
The Meeting Room
Everyone sat around the massive table.
---
Section E.
---
The people who remained.
---
The family Care had left behind.
---
The family she died protecting.
---
Maps.
---
Files.
---
Photographs.
---
Weapons.
---
Evidence.
---
Everything covered the table.
---
Silence
Until—
---
A chair moved.
---
JJ stood.
---
And immediately—
---
Everyone looked up.
---
Because something was different.
---
Very different.
---
This wasn't
The JJ who stole food.
---
The JJ who started chaos.
---
The JJ who climbed ceilings because of spiders.
---
No.
---
That JJ was gone.
---
This was
Mutya.
---
The legendary girl of Section E.
---
The only girl who had ruled an entire classroom full of dangerous boys.
---
The girl who once made teachers cry.
---
The girl who made presidents panic.
---
The girl who somehow made Keifer Watson fall hopelessly in love.
---
The wildfire.
---
The storm.
---
The queen.
---
JJ
Looked around the room.
---
No hesitation.
---
No tears.
---
No fear.
---
Only fire.
---
JJ
"Let's stop pretending."
---
Silence.
---
JJ
"This wasn't random."
---
Nobody argued.
---
JJ
"Care wasn't random."
---
The room grew colder.
---
JJ
"Aera wasn't random."
---
JJ
"The attack wasn't random."
---
Every word landed harder than the last.
---
Cole
Watched quietly.
---
Because for the first time—
---
He wasn't leading.
---
JJ was.
---
And somehow—
---
Everyone followed naturally.
---
JJ
Picked up a marker.
---
Walked to the board.
---
Started writing.
---
KAIZER WATSON
---
TOKYO
---
SHIPMENTS
---
CARE
---
AERA
---
UNKNOWN LEADER
---
JJ
Turned around.
---
JJ
"We already know the first conclusion."
---
Everyone watched.
---
JJ
"The real enemy isn't Kaizer."
---
A pause.
---
JJ
"He's a bridge."
---
JJ
"We find him."
---
JJ
"He leads us upward."
---
Percy
Nodded.
---
Percy
"Agreed."
---
JJ
Wrote another line.
---
JAPAN
---
JJ
"Second conclusion."
---
JJ
"Tokyo matters."
---
Immediately—
---
Yuri stood.
---
Yuri
"I'll go."
---
No surprise there.
---
Ash
Stood too.
---
Ash
"I'm coming."
---
No hesitation.
---
Because somewhere in Tokyo—
---
The answers about her family existed.
---
And she intended to find them.
---
Edrix
Raised a hand.
---
Edrix
"I need access to their systems."
---
Yuri
Yuri
"Then you're coming too."
---
Freya
Freya
"I'm not letting Ash go alone."
---
Cin
Crossed his arms.
---
Cin
"If people are getting shot, stabbed, poisoned or killed, you'll need a doctor."
---
Everyone
Actually accepted that immediately.
---
JJ
Nodded.
---
Then wrote:
---
TOKYO TEAM
---
Yuri.
---
Ash.
---
Aries.
---
Ella.
---
Edrix.
---
Freya.
---
Cin.
---
Aries
Looked at Ella.
---
Aries
"Stay close."
---
Ella
"You say that like I listen."
---
Meanwhile
JJ continued writing.
---
LONDON
---
JJ
"Kaizer."
---
The room immediately became serious.
---
Because that name still carried weight.
---
Even now.
---
Cole
Finally spoke.
---
Cole
"I'll handle him."
---
Cold.
---
Dangerously cold.
---
Keifer
Immediately.
---
Keifer
"No."
---
Everyone looked at him.
---
Keifer
"WE handle him."
---
Cole looked at him.
---
For a moment—
---
Neither spoke.
---
Then Cole nodded.
---
Because Keifer was right.
---
JJ
Started writing.
---
LONDON TEAM
---
Cole.
---
Keifer.
---
JJ.
---
Percy.
---
Honey.
---
Rhys.
---
Alex.
---
Lyra.
---
Rhys
Didn't object.
---
Not even once.
---
Because he wanted answers too.
---
Needed them.
---
Finally
JJ wrote:
---
MANILA
---
Everyone else.
---
Searching.
---
Digging.
---
Looking for anything missed.
---
Anything hidden.
---
Anything connected.
---
The Board
Was now full.
---
The war had begun.
---
Officially.
---
Then
JJ slowly placed the marker down.
---
The room fell silent.
---
Waiting.
---
Because everyone knew she wasn't finished.
---
JJ
Looked around.
---
At every face.
---
Every friend.
---
Every family member.
---
Every person Care had loved.
---
Then she spoke.
---
Quietly.
---
And somehow—
---
That made it worse.
---
JJ
"Care died protecting us."
---
Silence.
---
Nobody moved.
---
Nobody breathed.
---
JJ
"The least we can do..."
---
Her eyes hardened.
---
The same eyes that once terrified an entire school.
---
The same eyes Keifer had fallen in love with.
---
The same eyes that now held nothing but determination.
---
JJ
"...is make sure her killers regret breathing."
---
Silence.
---
Absolute silence.
---
Then—
---
Keifer stood.
---
Immediately.
---
Keifer
"I'm in."
---
Cole
"Always."
---
Yuri
"They touched the wrong family."
---
Percy
"Let's ruin their lives."
---
Rhys
For the first time in weeks—
---
Actually smiled.
---
A dangerous smile.
---
Rhys
"Agreed."
---
Around The Table
One by one—
---
Everyone stood.
---
One by one.
---
Until nobody remained seated.
---
Section E.
---
Together.
---
Again.
---
Not as students.
---
Not as graduates.
---
Not as CEOs.
---
Not as doctors.
---
Not as heirs.
---
But as a family.
---
A family preparing for war.
---
And at the center of it all—
---
Stood JJ Mariano.
---
The wildfire.
---
The Mutya of Section E.
---
Ready to burn down anyone responsible.
---
Chapter End.
