A few hours before Alex's confrontation with his grandfather, Matthew was walking down a mountain path. He was heading towards the border of a small country, where he heard rumors of some underground people spotted in this area. Alongside the information on the rumors regarding the Shadow Mercenaries, Matthew came to the conclusion that the Shadow Mercenaries were hiding in an underground base.
Matthew and his cat Leo who was sleeping on top of Matthew's bag felt the ground trembling. When Matthew felt that tremor he smiled happily and started running towards the source. When he got nearer to the area with the greatest reaction, Matthew felt that someone was already behind him.
