Since he indeed had lied to her about many things, he promised, “I had no other choice, but I won’t lie


    to you again Decker used to think his identity as a gangster would put Debbie in danger. He didn’t


    believe that he was powerful enough to protect her, and so he kept his real identity from her and even


    tried to drive her away for her safety.


    However, now that she was back with Carlos again, Decker knew that she was safe. He didn’t need to


    pretend to be someone else in front of her anymore.


    “Okay, tell me everything,” Debbie said.


    Decker reclined on the couch, lost deep in thought as though he was organizing what he was going to


    say. It took him a Long while before he began.


    Decker and Yates used to be enemies. Even so, Yates appreciated


    Decker’s capabilities. Therefore, when he found out about Decker’s rtionship with Carlos, he had


    reconciled himself with him.


    Decker used to build up his force overseas. Since Carlos was in Alorith and he could help him a lot, it


    made more sense for Decker to move to

    However, it was Elroy who had made Decker into what he was today.


    Elroy had fostered Decker for a few years before he abandoned him as a boy and sent him to a


    children’s welfare home. Whether Decker survived or died was of no concern to Elroy. He simply didn’t


    care anymore.


    Fortunately, Decker did survive. When he was just ten years old, his talent began to show. However,


    Elroy found out about it as well. The evil man decided to destroy the young boy at any cost.


    That year, Decker had entered into a pianopetition. While he was at the backstage, he happened


    to overhear someone warning the judges not to let him win.


    Decker realized then that someone was gunning for him, but he didn’t know who it was.


    In junior high, Decker was one of the top students. Everyone expected him to get a schrship and go


    on to an elite high school. However, the day before the high school entrance examination, he was


    kidnapped and missed the exam.


    Without the scores, there was no way that he would be epted by any high school.


    Feeling alone and helpless, Decker remembered a man that he knew from his part-time job. On the


    opening day of high school, Decker went to see him and seek his help.


    The man was a professor in Askor. His wife was a district official, and their daughter was in junior high.


    Decker was the girl’s part-time piano teacher.


    The professor was an honest man. All he wanted in life was for his family to be safe and healthy.


    He had never asked anyone for favors before. The day that Decker came to his house asking him for


    help, the professor didn’t turn the boy down, nor did he promise to help him.


    That night when Decker left the professor’s home, it had been pouring rain. Decker used to see a bright


    future ahead of him, but that night he had a heavy heart, and saw nothing but a sea of misery and


    darkness ahead of him.


    Before he left the professor’s house, his daughter stopped him and said, “It’s not that my father doesn’t


    want to help you. Someone threatened to harm us if he did. The very first day that you gave me a


    lesson on how to y the piano, someone had broken into our home and made my father promise to


    fire you.”


    Decker finally understood what was going on.


    For years someone had been suppressing him, sabotaging Decker’s every move and consequently


    quashing all of his hopes for the future. But who?

    Feeling devastated at the realization, Decker rushed out into the torrential rain and yelled out at the top


    of his Lungs, “Who are you?


    Come out and show yourself! I know you’re watching me! Who the hell are you? Come out and show


    your damn face, you coward!”
