Miss Frey’s personal assistants fought fiercely against Green.“This kid doesn’t have the identity of a former Scard soldier. If he were a former Scard soldier, he would have drawn the attention of the government and underground organizations long ago. But in reality, this boy’s existence has never been identified. Who is he, really?”Another of Miss Frey’s assistants arrived to help.“He’s not part of any organization in the Nameless District.”“Could it be...” the assistant muttered.“A Destroyer! They are destroyers created and designed to be at a higher and stronger level than the former Scard soldiers.”Green grew annoyed as more people arrived and surrounded him. He hated crowds. Both Green and Red preferred to work in silence.Green started leaping back and forth, taunting his opponents while occasionally attacking Miss Frey’s two assistants. The fight grew intense.One of Miss Frey’s larger assistants managed to throw a punch at Green, but the boy flipped in the air, effortles

“Wait, Catherine! Can’t you wait for me first?” Kay protested. “You always take the best parts and leave nothing for me!”The daggers that struck Red belonged to Catherine, the girl in the red hood. She arrived with the other members of the Black Lily Guild. Catherine, along with Kay, had followed Malvinn to the ballroom.“I almost lost my best friend,” Kay exclaimed. “Luckily, I activated the emergency signal in time. Guys, thanks for coming and helping. Looks like we’ll really be partying tonight.”Catherine pointed her short sword at Red, tilting her head slightly and murmuring, “Your face looks familiar. Where have I seen you before?”Red didn’t appreciate the interruption. Silently, she pulled out a knife from her shirt and lunged at Catherine’s thigh.However, Catherine was no stranger to quick reflexes. With her agility, she dodged effortlessly. Facing Red seemed almost like a game to her—finally, a rival of similar stature.“I feel deeply insulted!” Catherine shouted. “Why do

Inspector Robert shook his head. "He's not a member of Scard. He's a normal human. But he always claims to be a former Scard member at level 5. He does it just to protect his identity and safety.""So, his memory ability isn't the result of a lab experiment?"Inspector Robert nodded. "Kay Liavin has had that ability since he was a child. It developed along with the growth of nerve cells in his brain. He can remember anything with just one glance. Kay is extremely dangerous. His brain even surpasses the capabilities of a computer since he can store both short-term and long-term memories without ever forgetting them.""No wonder no organization is willing to take him in," said Inspector Robert’s assistant. "Even for intelligence agencies or the police force, the risk is too high if he were to betray them. Too much data and information are stored in his head.""You're right. Only Marco was willing to let him join when Kay was a teenager. And even that didn’t last long. Marco deliberately

Several members of the Black Lily Syndicate began to arrive. “The phone lines have been cut. They’ve severed the cables. We can’t communicate with the outside world.”“Damn it!” the leader growled.“It’s probably those Anti-Scard Squad guys again. We need to send a report to Jules.”“For safety, we should send someone in person.”The leader growled again, scanning the room for Catherine. He shouted at her, “Catherine, you’re ready to leave now, right? Go to Paradise Club and tell Brown to return to headquarters immediately.”“Yo-kai, Andi!” Catherine leaped down from the second floor, landing squarely in front of him.Andi turned to two of his subordinates. “You two, accompany Catherine until she reaches the district border.”The two men quickly followed Catherine as she departed.“To everyone else, help me repair the telephone circuits. And you two lovely ladies,” Andi said, addressing two women nearby, “open the armory. All of it. We need to prepare for the worst.”The two women nod

She sat alone on the bed, squeezing her still-lit cigarette, the ember glowing red."Finally, the moment has come."Brown had already entered the district that had been bombed by the Destroyer soldiers. He coughed despite covering his nose with his hand."So, they’ve advanced this far? And the smoke from these bombs, it’s not ordinary smoke. This smoke contains poison. Bastards! They can kill normal civilians living here."With limited visibility, Brown searched for anyone he could find around the area. But everyone had fled, and there was almost no one left, only corpses scattered around.In the distance, through the thick smoke, he saw movement of someone approaching him.Brown raised his hand and waved. "Catherine? Is that you? What’s really happening here?"Brown barely recognized Catherine stumbling through the thick smoke. He walked closer to her. When they met, Catherine suddenly coll
