CHAPTER 23. Star Ranked

ALEXANDER‘S POV

I was sure she‘s just another imposter when I saw her, but when she showed us the black thing...

I don‘t know anymore.

That black chip is not an ordinary chip.

Ang bagay na ito ay nakakapagpatunay na isa kang miyembro ng Shadow of Death. Lahat ng SOD members ay meron nito, and so as the Clione Brothers.

It was a round and flat black object, which where the crest of SOD were embedded. And I don‘t think what she was holding is fake.

I‘ve seen one in person before, when Kenji Clione—a member of SOD—showed us his own.

It‘s hard to forfeit dahil hindi basta-basta pinapahawak ng mga miyembro ang bagay na ‘yun. At saka limitado lang ang kopya nito, tanging myembro lang talaga ng SOD.

Imposible ring mabili lang siya sa kung saan, dahil customized ang isang ‘yan, base on what Kenji told us before. Halata rin naman dahil nakatatak dito ang crest ng gang nila.

Kenji Clione is a member of Shadow of Death, and along with his younger and older brother, they are known as the Clione Brothers.

We were in the same class and has been friends since before we founded our own gang.

Kagaya nga ng sinabi ko, maging ang mga miyembro ng SOD ay hindi alam ang itsura ng kanilang leader.

She‘s very mysterious.

And this girl has the chip. Hindi ko na talaga alam kung paano namin mapapatunayang peke o totoo ang isang ‘to. Besides, magaling din siyang makipag-laban.

“Let me fcking see.”

Shin snatched the black chip from her. Natahimik siya kaya kinuha ko naman sa kanya ito at ako naman ang sumuri.

‘Yung chip ni Kenji at itong hawak ko, sigurado akong magka-size lang sila, 1 inch ang diameter. Itim ang kulay at may naka-imbendang bungo na parang may nakabalabal dito, at sa ibaba naman nito ay may dalawang scythe ay naka-ekis. Napapalibutan ng hindi malamang disenyo.

Ang kakaiba dito ay ang parteng mata ng bungo.

Bigla kong naalala ang sinabi ni Kenji noong ipinakita niya sa amin ang kaniyang chip.

“Consult an expert and he will tell you that this ‘lil coin cost thousands of dollars. ‘Coz this... the skull‘s eye part is a natural black diamond. And this black thing is a pure black titanium.”

“I think, that fact will make you believe that the chip is real. Sino namang tao ang makaka-isip magpagawa ng ganitong bilog, na may black diamond? Only our insane leader, Shadow.”

Since this black chip‘s eye is made up of black diamond, light can‘t get through when I put it on my phone‘s flashlight. I also tried the fog test, which is another test to determine if a diamond is real or fake. The fog that I made using my breath didn‘t even last for a few seconds.

Damn. This is the real thing.

I can now understand why Kenji once thought about pawning this thing.

“What? Is it real? Is it real?” pakantang tanong ni Kevin. Kahit kailan talaga napaka-budoy nito.

“Trev, it‘s real.” sabi ko at seryoso siyang tiningnan.
