24 HoursChapter 35 : REWIND 0 [---:---am]
Outside Byunghee's hospital room the Ringmaster grinned and dialed a number.
“Yoboseoyo?” came a male voice on the other end.
“Hello,” the Ringmaster said back. “It’s me. It was a success.”
“What was?”
“I’ve acquired players #2 and #3.”
“Oh?” a noise of surprise came over the phone. “That was fast.”
“I work fast,” the Ringmaster said with a smirk plastered on his face. “I told you that, didn’t I?”
“You did,” the other man said agreeably. “I just never saw proof until now. So that makes 3 players. We only need one more don’t we.”
“Yes.”
“And then it begins.”
“Yes,” the Ringmaster couldn’t contain his glee. “And then it all begins.”
"I'm nearly done with the preparations on my side. Find the fourth player and then we're in business."
"I'll get in touch with you shortly then," the Ringmaster replied and hung up.
He gave a courteous bow to the nurse on his way out and they waved him goodbye. But all the Ringmaster could think of was how it was all coming together. Lee Changsun and Jung Byunghee would be instrumental in achieving his goals, and they would know nothing of just how many sacrifices their future would hold. But it was all worth it. A sacrifice for a better cause.
The Ringmaster had to suppress a chuckle that rose in his throat. It was all coming together perfectly, and none of them, none of the five would ever realize the true extent of his plans.
This was so much more than taking down a government.
This was about controlling a world.
And the Ringmaster would be the puppeteer at the helm of this new era.
