Chapter 89: The Shadow Cabinet

Mr. X reached up and slowly pulled off his black mask. Xyron blinked in surprise—beneath it was a clean-cut young man, maybe 27 years old, wearing stylish glasses and a silver ring on his right hand that shimmered with a dull, matte light.

“You’re just a kid,” Xyron muttered, leaning back. “You’re younger than me, yet you’re pulling strings behind the global government?”

Mr. X smirked, adjusting his glasses. “Don’t act big, Xyron. You’re also 27. We are the same age.”

Xyron’s heart skipped a beat. ‘He knows my exact age? My records were sealed by the World Association. How does he have this information?’

“Let me guess your conditions,” Mr. X continued, his voice calm. “One: Maki must never be involved or targeted. Two: My identity remains a secret from the world. Am I close?”

Xyron stared at him, stunned. “You’ve been watching me for two years, haven’t you?”

“Something like that,” Mr. X replied. “I accept your conditions. Now, answer me—why do you really want to join the Titans?”

“Because,” Xyron said, his eyes darkening, “I believe peace can only be achieved by eradicating the evil that poisons this world.”

“A noble goal for a fallen king,” Mr. X chuckled. “But tell me, if you have no soul energy, how did you bring those Guardians back to life?”

Mr. X looked at his own hands. “I don’t know. Sometimes, things I imagine just… become real. It’s not consistent, but it works.”

He turned to the four masked members standing in the shadows behind him. “Show yourselves. No names, just titles. And let our new recruit see who he’s working with.”

The four members stepped forward and removed their masks:

The First: A young man with piercing eyes stepped forward. “I am Kael, the scout.”

The Second: A woman with a jagged scar across her cheek bowed. “I am Vesper, the assassin.”

The Third: A tall, silent figure with white hair spoke calmly. “My name is Zero, the strategist.”

The Fourth: A boy who looked barely sixteen, clearly Mr. X’s younger brother. “I’m Ren, the infiltrator.”

“Your mission will be revealed tomorrow,” Mr. X said, standing up. “Tonight, you are tested. Tomorrow, you are a Titan.”

Editor’s Comment:

The Titans Group is not just a ragtag bunch of rebels; they are a highly specialized unit. By revealing his brother and his inner circle, Mr. X is trying to build ‘trust’ with Xyron. But Xyron isn’t stupid—he’s playing along to gather intel. The fact that Mr. X can manifest reality into existence makes him the most dangerous opponent Xyron has ever faced.
