Ronx came in his home, where he found Uncle Dave reading his newspaper like usual. "Even when he's sixty-five or even older, he's still reading the newspaper like always, he never changes," Ronx thought with a slight smile.
"Look at the time," Uncle Dave, his eyes never leaving the newspaper. "Where were you? You weren't even in the house yesterday."
"I...was partying with my friends," Ronx answered with a slight nervous smile. "I got drunk and had to sleep somewhere else."
Uncle Dave sighed, "You don't have to lie to me. You're forty now, you can do whatever you want, I won't judge you."
Ronx's skin turned pale as soon as Uncle Dave said that. "Does he know?! How? No, there's no way he knows."
"You slept with a woman, didn't you?" Uncle Dave said, his eyes finally leaving the newspaper and directly staring at Ronx with a serious face. Though, his eyes returned to the newspaper in the very next second.
Ronx flinched at his words, he was relieved that he didn't find out his secret but at the same time, he felt offended. "No?! What are you-"
"I get it. Just go," Uncle Dave said.
Ronx took a deep sigh and went upstairs to his room. "What the hell's wrong with him? Seriously," he thought, soon falling asleep.
Though, he would soon wake up not too long after due to the noise of a window shattering. He instantly got up and teleported into the living room. Upon finding no one, he teleported to Uncle Dave's room, however, to his horror, he was nowhere to be found.
Uncle Dave was missing. He wasn't in the house. Ronx had checked everywhere and even screamed his name. "Fuck! Who the hell did this?!" Ronx said, clenching his fist.
Soon, his eye caught a small piece of paper lying on the drawer next to Uncle Dave's bed. It read: "Dr. Gabriel wants to meet you. Face the consequences of killing two of the thirteen leaders."
"What the...?!" Ronx thought, his mind thinking at it's full potential.

The barber teleported behind Kael and whispered in his ear. "Want to find out whether I'm lying or not, my little princess?"
"Don't fucking call me that," Kael yelled, turning extremely fast and trying to punch the barber, though he failed to do so as the barber teleported before he could. "My, my. How aggressive. Are you confessing your love towards me?"
"A man of courage will always beat a man of talent," Mateo said, appearing behind the barber, punch already prepared. "Which is why, I will face you head on."
"But I am not a man of talent. All of this is hard work," the barber said, grabbing Mateo and Kael's head, then slamming them together...several times in a span of a second. "Feel it! Feel despair!"
"You're talking too much," Kael said, biting and tearing off a small part of the barber's neck. "My! How intimate!" The barber said, piercing Mateo with his giant scissor and slashing Kael with his comb that he took out from his pocket. "My...if you're this intimate, I'll have a hard time not killing you, Kael falcon."
"Not killing me, what does he mean by that?!" Kael thought, his face getting angrier by the second.
Mateo awakened and rushed towards the barber, along with Kael, however, just then, the barber teleported behind Kael and knocked him out. "Ah, man. I spent too much time playing around. Look at the time," He said while looking at his watch, which wasn't there. "Anyway, I guess I'll bring him with me just like Gabriel said."
"You aren't going anywhere," Mateo said, though, before he could reach him, the barber suddenly disappeared with Kael. "Shit," Mateo said. "I'd rather not...but I guess I have no other choice but to tell Ronx falcon about all of this. I'll forgive Ronx for what he did...for now. Because sometimes forgiving is the right thing to do."
-------------------------
"I brought him," the barber said, throwing Kael towards Dr. Gabriel, who was covered in blood. "Ah...Kael falcon...his blood will prove very useful to me."
"Hmph, what's even interesting about his blood?" The barber asked out of curiosity. "He wasn't even all that when I fought him...other than the fact that he was growing at an amazing rate."
"The difference in power before and after the fight is...almost terrifying," the barber admitted, his face serious, which was extremely unusual.
"That's good to know...However, that is not the reason I asked for him," Dr. Gabriel said with a creepy smile. "His...or more accurately, the falcon blood is what I desired."
"Genes play a massive role in deciding your ability and every falcon, whether it may be Ronx falcon or even his uncle, every single one of them always have a strong ability. Which is why I need the falcon genes for the...plan," Dr. Gabriel explained while stroking his face.
"Blood and fire manipulation don't seem that powerful to me," the barber said while picking his ear.
"Those two are an exception," Dr. Gabriel said. "However, the generations before Ronx falcon had some insanely powerful abilities that a person wouldn't be able to comprehend or imagine."
"I see," the barber said. "Anyway, I'm leaving, now."
"Leaving so soon? Don't you want to fight Ronx falcon?" Dr. Gabriel said with a creepy smirk.
"Huh?" The barber said, turning back with a confused face. "Is...he coming here?"
"Soon, he will," Dr. Gabriel answered.
And once he did, the barber's lips formed into an extremely wide smile, his sclera and iris turning completely black. And his pupil turning into a glowing red, just like in the fight.
The barber was shaking from excitement. "Finally! Finally! It's time...!"
