The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 56: catlanguagedictionary.com

*Sensitive Content*

Emma didn’t want to explain what she saw there. Everything and the pictures were too vulgar to be detailed. Even her mouse cursor instantly changed to a male sex icon. At the very top of the page, there was an inscription that as big and clear as possible was explaining that the video actor and actress were not using physical protection! That’s one of the factors that caused the audiences to be willing to pay just to enter the website.

Actually, the site had a very neat and attractive appearance. There also didn’t show a bunch of ads and bugs. Truly, an exclusive website for weird brain porn maniacs.

“Okay, now, how do I track if Poppy was here?” Emma thought as pity her own eyes that had to see so many disgusting images there.

Then, she opened the video that appeared at the very top. It was the most recently uploaded video and already had many views or viewers.

“Oh my.. should I see something disgusting like this?” Emma complained.

“Hmm?” She narrowed her eyes and rubbed them lightly, “The artist’s face was blurred?”.

.....

Then, she got out of the video and opened several other videos. It turned out that all the faces of the video’s actors and actresses were blurred. Damn! Then, how could she find Poppy?

When Emma closed the last video, suddenly a billboard appeared in the middle of the page.

‘Get a ‘Privilege’ ticket and watch the performance of your favourite cat exclusively! Click the button below!’

Of course, Emma immediately pressed the button. And again, she was asked to pay a very high price. Under the payment options, there was explained what benefits the viewer would get by buying the obscure Privilege ticket.

The Privilege has various options as follows:

1. Cat Eyes : Viewers can watch movies without censorship on the actor and actress face. Ultra-clear High Definition video quality, and 8D sound features. Can double zoom in on the video image.

2. Rewatch : Customers can download movies twice. However, it only works for regular movies where the actor and actresses’ faces are blurred.

3. Cat Live : Ticket to watch the broadcast live for one hour. (Coming Soon)

4. Cat Live Game : Cat Live viewers can comment in the comments column and can enjoy the Bid Game. (Coming Soon)

All of these Privilege options can only be used for one-time usage per one payment. So, if the customer wants to use the Privilege again, he/she has to pay again.

Emma read the announcement while blinking in disbelief. Seriously? Do they want to blackmail people or what? And again, there were still a lot of crazy people who were willing to pay dearly for it. But what she was sure of, Martin would buy the number two.

Because Emma’s goal was to watch without facial sensors, she bought the number one ticket. She must watch carefully. The video she had to open was the one with the background of the room that Emma had seen in Donny’s photo that day. If she chose the wrong video, she might have to pay again to be able to open another uncensored video.

No need to go far, the video that Emma suspected was in the top three rows. It looked like just been uploaded. She opened one by one before pressing the cat’s paw print logo under the movie frame.

Finally, Emma found the video she had looking for. The setting was a room that had shades of maroon and navy blue. She remembered it very well.

“It must be this..” Emma muttered by moving her cursor over the cat’s footprint symbol. Then, Bag! She was redirected to another page and the video played uncensored.

It didn’t take Emma long to realize that the actress’s face belonged to Poppy. She immediately stopped the video and felt nauseous.

“F*ck you Donny!” She growled.

Emma pondered. Most likely Roger also knew about it. She thought, should she cooperate with Roger to stop Poppy? But, if that’s the case, Roger would later find out that the mysterious man in the helmet was actually Emma Hilland. Even if she asked Kathy for help, she would become suspicious of her.

Because everything was considered too risky, Emma began to forced her brain to come up with her own plan. Actually, the only way was to beat Donny so he wouldn’t get anywhere near Poppy again. Emma also had to threaten to crush his legs if he dared to open his mouth about what Poppy had been up to. But the problem was.. how?

“Oh.. Right!” Emma snapped her fingers as she recalled something she once thought was unimportant, but now would be of great help. Emma immediately took out her cell phone and called Jonas.

After how many seconds since the first dial tone rang, Jonas immediately picked up the phone.

“You’ve been calling me a lot lately, haven’t you?” His voice was excited.

Emma ignored him and went straight to the point, “Jonas, do you know the device that Papa’s men usually used to change their voice on the phone?” she asked quickly.

“I know. What else do you need?”

Emma pursed her lips, ‘Else?’. Jonas seemed to be able to smell that Emma was planning some things in her new home.

“Looks like you have a lot to do,” The man continued with a laugh.

“Stop your bullshit, Jonas. Let me speak. So, I have a group practice assignment. I need a tool similar to that. But it’s not just for use on the phone. I need it to disguise my voice instantly.” she explained.

“Hmm.. It can do. But, maybe the device should be placed very close to your mouth. And the speaker must be close to it also so that your original voice could be covered.”

“Good! Please make some for me and send it with a package to my house. Oh.. please use good material too. Attach a microphone that is very sensitive to sound. Because, maybe I will use it while whispering.”

“Hem.. This is the first time you ordered me like that. Looks like I have to ask your Papa for a salary raise.” Jonas replied.

“It’s up to you, Jonas. I’m counting on you!” Emma smiled.

“Very well, Princess. If you have ordered, no one will dare to argue.” He mocked.

Emma laughed, “Thanks, Jonas. To make your report easier, I’m letting you know now before you ask. I’m fine here. I eat regularly, eat healthily, diligently practice self-defence, and the bonus.. now I can cook for myself. Amazing, right?” she held her chin up high.

“Cooking? Wow.. Looks like someone is ready to get married. I’ll tell your Papa.”

“What?! Hey! Watch out if you dare say things to Papa! Oh.. and also for what I asked for, please keep it a secret from Papa,” Emma said quickly.

“As your wish, Princess. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. Take care of your health.” Jonas answered lightly.

“Good!” Emma said before hanging up the phone.

She smiled widely. The plan was still smooth so far. Hopefully, she could manage to free Poppy from the wolves’ snare.

Even though Poppy kept pushing Roger away, the man didn’t want to give up. Behind the glasses, his eyes were busy observing the structure of the city of Handway. As a loser who had no friends, Roger always spent his time in his room.

He had no other activity, other than playing the computer and guitar in his cage. Even at home, there was no one to talk to. There were only two old maids in his house. His father and mother were too busy working to forget that they had a son whom they had not planned for.

Secretly, Roger’s computer skills were already at the same level as the IT majoring students. While looking for guidance from the internet, he tried to trace the website called catlanguagedictionary.com. And after two days of searching, he finally found the head office of the website.

It’s not surprising that its head office was in the city of Handway. Precisely near the harbour. There was a medium-sized building there. It was the office of a frozen seafood company. Yes, that’s what the nameplate on the front said, and that’s what people knew. But in fact.. it was the headquarters of a gangster group called Hell Gate.

That’s right, Hell Gate created the pornographic website. They made the top three floors of the six-floors building into an office that ran the website catlanguagedictionary.com. And the top floor became Roger’s destination.

‘I have to destroy the server.’ Roger thought.

The sixth floor was where the web server and file server were stored. Roger simply couldn’t fight the men who trapped Poppy with force. But he could be a sewer rat that sneaked up on their servers. That way, Poppy didn’t have to be forced to do her current job. All data would also be lost.

Roger didn’t care what would happen next. Most likely he will be caught. Most likely he would die there. The chances of him succeeding may be only three percent. But he was going to take the ninety-seven percent risk of being killed, to work out a three percent chance of saving the most precious girl in his life.

Poppy stepped through the door to her favourite class, which was ballet. She had no more time to come there. Let alone additional classes, she had often completed regular classes because she didn’t have as much time as she used to.

Yes, now Poppy was no longer a free swan to swim and flap her wings. Now, there was a chain that tied her legs. And the holder of the chain was Donny. Her own lover.

Poppy’s encounter with Donny was very brief. It was when she first entered the university. At that time, Donny looked like a nice cool guy. The man’s appearance and countenance completely matched Poppy’s taste. The man also seemed to be able to protect her weak self.

Donny, who had a cold and reserved impression made Poppy’s heart melt when he treated her special. But, the innocent Poppy didn’t realize that Donny would be the meanest man she’d ever met.

Of course, Donny’s bad character was not seen in the early days of their relationship. But over the past few months, Poppy had come to realize that Donny’s vices were not something that she could let be. Unfortunately, it was too late for Poppy to get away from the man. She was already trapped by the cunning of Donny and his friends.
