Times had passed and finally, it was night time. However, the time seemed to move rather slower than before as they waited… just like Leon told them to. If anyone among them who could track Seraphina and could probably understand at least one-fourth of her thought process, that would be Leon. Hence, instead of looking for someone without any clue to where she was at, they put their trust towards Leon.

Currently, Rex, Ace, Riggs, and Leon were driving towards an unfamiliar town. As usual, Rex was the one who was driving, Leon on the front passenger seat while the two on the back. Since the three of them could only abide with Leon's command, Riggs gave up from asking him to where exactly they were heading.

Alas, as Riggs turned his head on the person beside him, he was reminded of something. "Yo, Leon. Are we going to a place with snacks available?"

"Why would you need a snack for?" Ace who was triggered since earlier as he couldn't connect the dots from their uttered words questioned Riggs with disdain. Yet, Riggs grinned evilly. Since Ace could finally cross the darkness he was in, he knew that he needed snacks to watch his drama when Ace came to know that his beloved boss was actually Seraphina.

Just thinking of his expression, Riggs' exasperation earlier slowly vanished as a great show was about to unravel before his very eyes. His eyes gleam as he looked at the edgy confidant of his. Rex on the other hand glance at the occurrence at the back and could clearly read Riggs devilish expression.

"Two blocks and go right. Stop at the first convenience store." Leon who seemed bored commanded lazily yet with certainty. As he was instructed, Rex wordlessly drove to the direction given to him and stopped at the convenience store.

Leon nonchalantly hopped out, even before the car's engine came into a full stop. Alas, just then, a passing luxury car flashed by him the moment his foot landed on the concrete ground, yet, he neither flinch nor stepped back from the shock; despite that his standpoint had only a palm-sized length from that sportscar. It was as if he couldn't care less about that fleeting moment that he was nearly caught with that speeding car.

The red sports car that can blind anyone from its shininess also came into a full stop several steps away from them.

"Aish~, that was close." Jack glanced at the rear mirror to see Leon slowly turn his head to their direction. Alas, Jack had an impish smirk on the corner of his lips. Wren who had seen what happened shook his head.

"Huh, pulling a prank on him and you nearly died," Wren mumbled. On their perspective, though Leon should be the one who was heaving a sigh of relief, alas, they both had seen his eyes smile wickedly in a split second. Fortunately, Leon seemed lazy to move around or else, Wren was afraid that not only Jack's head would be whack but his hard-earned sportscar as well.

"Well, it's worth it. No regrets." Jack shrugged the matter off as he unbuckled his seat and hopped out; same with Wren.

Riggs peered at the convenient store and he was struck by a realization. Of course, they could find her in this kind of place, alas, there must be more place like this across the country. Hence, he turned his investigative gaze on Leon's inexpressive delicate countenance.

"Leon, you sure she's exactly here?"

"She's probably loving this place." Finally, Leon showed a nefarious smirk on his thin lips thinking of Seraphina enjoying herself in this kind of playground. Riggs who could clearly see Leon's expression caused his face to distort. Without any follow-up question, Riggs already guessed what he meant by that.

"Do you have a card?" Rex who was discreet with his words since earlier inquired after scrutinizing the whole vicinity. This part of the town seemed bustling but also dark. This kind of place was too familiar to every place they've been in the past; a lawless town.

"I don't need that."

"What the f*ck is going on? Why are those two here?!" Ace who was astounded to the core exclaimed. Seeing the two familiar figure heading towards their direction, his raging emotion finally burst out. Alas, the only response he got from the three was Riggs light giggle.

"Great thing, I can buy snacks here." Riggs faintly uttered in between his suppressed laughs. With that note, Leon leads the way and headed straight to the cashier, while Rex followed behind him. Riggs on the other hand followed but turned his way to get some snack.

Meanwhile, Ace was stood rooted on the ground as his confidant entered the seemingly quiet convenience store. By the next minute, his shoulder was bumped from behind as Jack passed by him.

"Oh, great expression. Keep it up!" Jack sarcastically commented as he continues his tracks inside the said establishment.

"Wh-- what on earth…" Ace heedlessly whispered confirming that it was indeed Jack.

"Aight, aight, keep moving," Wren commented with a sigh as he held Ace's shoulder from behind and slightly pushed him to go inside.

Inside the convenience store, when the 'cashier' saw Leon and the people he brought with him, she tilted her head to the right gesturing them to head to that certain direction. Leon slid his hand on his pocket and flick a small pocket that had a white content in it.

The cashier that was chewing a gum swiftly slid his palm on the 'payment' from the regular customer before turning her attention on the CCTV footage and deleted the clip of them showing up.

Leon's group entered the supposed office and without going in circles, he headed on the end wall and pressed his palm on it. Pushing it thrice, the supposed wall opened from the inside and revealed a huge man.

Scrutinizing and recognizing the delicate-looking man, he nodded and opened the secret door for them. They passed through a long tunnel as if it was leading to hell and soon, cheers and loud indistinct noises came closer as they neared the end of the way.

Reaching the end of the long underpass, a bright crowded placed welcomed them. At the center of the place was a caged stage where two people were having a brawl.

"What the actual f*ck…" Ace mumbled audibly seeing the petite figure inside the cage ring. She was standing with her hands tainted with fresh blood while her opponent's head was lying beneath her foot.
