Kay ran through the streets under the pouring rain, occasionally taking shelter under shop awnings before resuming his journey to his apartment.Puddles were everywhere. He jumped around to avoid splashes. When he reached the stairs leading to his second-floor apartment, he noticed many wet footprints on the stairs and a black umbrella lying abandoned.Suddenly, Kay became extremely alert. He was worried something had happened to Lindy. Slowly, he ascended the stairs, one step at a time, until he stood before his apartment door, which was slightly ajar. Kay immediately pulled out his gun.At Dr. Emma's clinic, Malvinn quietly woke from his hospital bed. He saw Dr. Emma asleep at her desk, likely from exhaustion. His body covered in bandages and wearing only long trousers, Malvinn approached her.He took a blanket and draped it over her hunched shoulders. Carefully, he removed her glasses and placed them on the desk. He then grabbed his torn shirt and sword and left the clinic quietly.

In a nightclub located in a district area, the district leaders gathered to discuss the recent series of mutilation cases. The leaders included Marco, Pablo, Frey, and Ramones.“This time, there are 12 victims. The autopsy is still in progress, and the results are yet to be known. However, it’s confirmed that all of them were former Scard soldiers,” Jules reported to the district leaders. Jules worked under Pablo’s jurisdiction.“It’s pretty clear, isn’t it?” Ramones remarked. “That means I don’t have to deal with you, Jules. The Scard soldiers are obviously your responsibility.”“Ramones!” Miss Frey shouted, visibly angry and speaking with fiery emotion. “We all know you’re the mastermind behind all of this!”“Miss,” one of Miss Frey’s assistants tried to calm her down.“Ramones, are you trying to disrupt the legal balance we’ve maintained for years in the Black District? What’s your goal in hiring Scard mercenaries just to fulfill your personal ambitions? This is outrageous! I won’t

Malvinn hugged Lindy for quite a while until the girl could regain control of herself without relying on the sedatives. When Lindy was able to compose herself, Malvinn released the hug and left her alone.“Mal-vinn…,” Lindy murmured faintly.But Malvinn had already returned to the front with Kay and resumed working.After a few hours, Gena came out of the shop.“Here, your payment for today!” Gena exclaimed as she handed a sum of money to Kay. “Thanks for all your hard work today.”Kay gladly accepted it. “Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need our help.”From inside the weapon shop, the old pawnshop owner came out with his cane. He was walking with a limp.“Wait, Rogue brothers! I’ve cooked a lot of ramen. Don’t leave yet.”Gena was thrilled to hear her grandfather had cooked ramen. She dragged Malvinn into the shop and went to the kitchen to eat together.“Come on, Kay and Lindy! You two should eat too!” Gena invited.Lindy still looked gloomy, sitting with her back against

Malvinn sighed heavily as he realized Kay's intention for bringing Lindy to the party."Enough," Kay exclaimed. "Let's hurry and get to work before the party ends and we miss out on everything."The two of them quickly ran toward the enemy, weapons in hand.That night, Kay, Malvinn, and the members of the Black Lily Syndicate worked together to evacuate the former Scard soldiers still out there. They were brought to the nameless district for protection from the Anti-Scard Squad.At that time, the Rogue brothers and the Black Lily Syndicate members were working hand in hand to confront the rebels, who were normal humans.At the party, in the Paradise Club, Lindy tried to entertain the guests with her skills in singing and playing the guitar. No one expected Lindy to be so good at playing music. Everyone was stunned and amazed by her performance.On a building rooftop not far from the party venue, Red and Green stood, watching the chaotic scene below."Red, this is so boring. They're al

"Even though he’s just a child, he managed to slaughter the former Scard soldiers with ease. He also destroyed the identity tattoos on their left shoulders.”Kay was shocked by the woman’s explanation.“Don’t tell me…” Kay muttered, recalling the cases Inspector Robert had asked him to analyze.“Malvinn!” Kay shouted. “Go to the party first and buy some time. I’ll catch up as soon as I can. Be careful!” Kay warned Malvinn, who was ready to head to the party. “Our opponent could be…”“A Yokai!” Malvinn responded nonchalantly.He already suspected who their enemy might be this time, and it seemed Kay shared the same thoughts.At Paradise Nightclub, managed by Miss Frey’s family, chaos had erupted. The venue, meant to serve as a party area and a haven for the former Scard soldiers, was now under threat. Miss Frey’s assistants and trusted personnel fought hard against Green, who looked like a child but possessed immense strength. Even Frey’s towering bodyguards struggled against him.One
