Chapter 5 - Out of Your Will

After rescuing the boy and handing him over to the police, Min Yul goes home. On his walk home, Yul is still dazed by what happened that he didn't know he was being followed. The spy tailing him turns on his earpiece to communicate to the higher-ups.

"I'm following the target. Do you copy?" He says with a hushed tone, trying to avoid being caught.

"Yes, I copy. Don't let him out of your sight. I'm counting on you." The response came from the receiving end.

"I won't let you down!" He says silently. The transmission ends while he keeps following Yul.

The spy tries to manipulate Yul into following him but fails because Min Yul is an Alpha male.

"Why isn't it working on him?!" The spy says to himself, frustrated. "Wait, don't tell me he's an Alpha male," he says with a frustrated groan. "This would be harder than I thought," he says with a sigh.

While tailing Yul, he racks his brain, thinking of a way to get Yul to his boss. An idea pops up in his head.

He facepalms. "I'm such an idiot. I can shape-shift." He transforms into an old lady and approaches Yul. He's a shape-shifter because he's a Capricornian. "Hello, young man. This bag of groceries is quite heavy. Can you help me to carry them to my house? My house is only two blocks away." She says with a wry smile, stretching out her hand with the heavy groceries to Yul.

Yul takes the bag of groceries from her and smiles faintly. "After you, Ma'am."

She leads the way, walking ahead of Yul. "He fell for it," looks back at Yul with a smirk. "He doesn't suspect a thing."

The spy leads Yul to a path and holds his hand. Poof! They are gone. The spy teleports them to the secret headquarters.

Min Yul staggers, stunned. "Where are we?!" He asks with a bit of panick in his eyes.

Yul scans his environment. A long conference table with empty chairs around it, but on the last chair sat someone backing them. A feminine voice speaks.

"Welcome. I see you have arrived, Min Yul." The chair spins around to face Yul.

"Who are you? And how do you know my name?" He asks with a cold, suspicious voice.

"Slow down, Kiddo. First of all, I'm the boss' right-hand man. My name is Diva. Then, secondly, I've been watching you, monitoring your every move. I have a hunch you are the next Leo, so I sent him," points to the spy "to follow you and confirmed my hunch right," she says with a grin spread across her face.

"What do you mean 'he'?" He looks at the old granny, who transforms to his original self. Min Yul staggers back in awe. "You..."

"He's our master of disguise, a shape-shifter, a Capricornian precisely." Diva says.

"Ma name's Izumi. But they call me Rico. Call me Rico like the rest." He says with a hint of pride in his voice.

"I'll call you whatever I want." Yul says with a glare and turns away from him.

Rico gulps hard. "Sheesh..."

Dive chuckles. "Now back to business." She turns to Yul. "You'll be training at block 4, district 1, starting from tomorrow after school."

"You can't just force me to do what I don't want to do!" Yul says angrily.

"It's not a matter of what you want to do or don't want to do." She says with a strict face and a serious tone. "Now please be here after school, or I'll bring you here out of your own will." She says, her words sounding more like a threat.

"Then I'll call the police and report you." Yul says.

"And how exactly are you going to do that, hm? No one can ever be able to find here, and you don't even know your way here. So what are you going to tell them?" She says with a smirk on her face.

"I'll..." He lets out a frustrated groan. "Fine. You win. Just give me a few days to set my mind straight, and then I'll come here willingly."

Diva smiles. "Okay. I'll give you a week. Get your mind straight and come here before the week runs out. Am I understood?"

"Yes. Now, I want to go home." Yul says.

Diva turns to Rico. "Take him back to where you saw him and report back immediately."

Rico salutes her. "Yes, Ma!" He says with a grin. "I'll be back before you know it." He holds Yul's shoulder and teleports.

Rico teleports Yul back to the place he saw him and teleports back to the headquarters. Back at headquarters.

"He was too easy. He fell for it." Diva says with a soft chuckle.

"But Ma'am, you know when he finds out that he's an Alpha male that no one can force or manipulate him that might cause some trouble." Rico says, slightly worried.

"I told you to stop calling me ma'am! Call me, Miss! And oh, please... When we reach the bridge we'll know how to cross it." She says and waves her hand, signalling him to leave. Rico leaves. Diva exhales softly. "What a talkative! He acts like he knows everything! One day, I'll chop off that mouth of his."
