"This is why I don't like people like you. How on earth is Caspian's death your fault? Tch...how pathetic," Kael said, heading for the door. "If that's all you wanted to say, I'm leaving."
"What about the last part?" Rose asked, which caused Kael to suddenly stop.
"...What last part?" Kael said without turning back, leaving in the very next second.
As soon as he left, he saw Lucius leaning against the wall, clearly having heard everything.
Kael's eyebrow slightly flinched but instead, he remained calm and asked, "do you know who killed Caspian?"
"Yes. Are you looking to avenge him?" Lucius asked, sharpening his eyes.
Kael scoffed. "I don't give a fuck about him. I am simply looking for a challenge."
"Are you sure you can beat him?" Lucius asked. "As far as I know, the barber killed him very easily."
"Barber?" Kael said, slightly laughing. "A fuckin' barber? Bring it on."
Lucius sighed, "I'll tell you his exact location. My henchmen are spying on him as we speak."
------------------------
After searching for more an hour, no one found anything useful. "Fuck. He did run away," Ronx said, out of breath.
"It's no use finding him here. We'll try another day," Zombie said, looking around with no signs of tiredness.
Before any of them could leave or say anything else, two men approached them. One had white hair and an atrocious haircut, his hair being a bunch of long spikes. Not only that but he was also noticeably fat. While The other was topless and had a lot of tattoos and scars on his chest and face.
"Who would have thought that they would be in our enemy's base?" Angelo said, the topless one. "Right Phil?"
Phil nodded with a smirk. "Yes. They are quite foolish to be in Tristan's house. I wonder if they are already under an illusion."
Alex sharpened his eyes. "Are these two men illusions?" He asked Keth.
"As far I know...no," Keth replied.
"What do you all want?" Ronx asked, cracking his fists.
"We want your head," Phil replied with a smirk. "It is the least you could do. After all, you killed one of our fellow leaders."
Keth took a deep breath. "Be careful, these are two of the thirteen leaders, they might be trouble."
Without a second thought, Ronx and Alex rushed at them.
Ronx punched Phil before he could even see Ronx coming, causing Phil to be launched several meters away, onto a wall, the impact destroying it instantly. On the other hand, Alex slashed Angelo multiple times in a blink and launched him as well with a powerful kick.
However, it wasn't enough. Angelo and Phil both got back up almost instantly. "That was a nice warm-up," Angelo said with a smirk.
"How did Whiskey even get beaten by them?" Phil said.
"It doesn't matter," Angelo said, appearing in front of Alex and landed a devastating punch on Alex's stomach. Though, despite that, Alex fought through the pain and caught Angelo's hand, cutting it in the very next moment. "AHHHH! FUCK!" Angelo screamed, taking a few steps back.
"Realm of-" Angelo was about to activate his realm but Alex cut off his head before he could.
At the same time, Phil was attacking Ronx with a whip. However, Ronx was dodging all of the attacks easily. "Blood swipe,"Ronx screamed, causing three red flying slashes to rush towards Phil, which were so fast that Phil didn't have any time to react, which made him get slashed by all three.
And Ronx didn't stop there, he appeared behind Phil and landed one final slash with his blood sword, ending the fight instantly. "Great work. But we'll have to get away from here as soon as possible," Zombie said, looking around. "There may be more of them coming soon."
"They aren't that strong but they could definitely cause some trouble if many of them attack at once," Ronx said, taking a moment to breath.
"Agreed," Alex said. "It's better if we conduct this investigation some other time."
With that, Ronx, Alex and Zombie left Elephant City while Keth returned to his church.
"What did you think? Mr. Tristan?" Dr. Gabriel asked with a creepy smile, slowly turning towards Tristan, who was watching everything from afar.
"Ah...what...did I think?" Tristan said slowly, stroking his chin. "Who knows?"
"I see. Well, what did you think about my offer of joining the Red Cross Organization? You and I could rule over "the doctors," or maybe...even the "dealers." Heck...I must say, with your ability, we could even rule over the entire organization," Dr. Gabriel said, his eyes lingering on Tristan for far too long.
"Painters paint alone," Tristan said slowly, his blank eyes staring directly at Dr. Gabriel.
Dr. Gabriel slightly laughed. "Very well."

"My pieces are all over the place," ??? said, his hands folded together. "I suspect that they are plotting against me."
"Do you want me to check?" Lucius asked, his hands behind his back.
"No. Ronx falcon and Alex Lewisguard will do that for me," ??? said with a slight smile. "I already know what will happen... I suppose, the plan is going well."
"What about Kael Falcon?" Lucius asked.
"What about him?" ??? asked. "He isn't a threat, is he?"
"Well...he may cause trouble," Lucius answered. "He's going after him. The barber."
??? slightly laughed. "The barber, huh? It seems I must attend a funeral soon."
