When Racer and Cobra were going to attack Bourne's residence, there were three people who gathered together and the three of them happened to be members of Oracion Seis.
One of them was a man with several lines on his face, brown skin, and long silver hair. His name was Brain and he was known as the guildmaster of Oracion Seis.
The other two were two of the trusted magicians of Brain and they were also his foster children, their names were Midnight and Hoteye.
Midnight was an effiminate young man with black and silver hair, on other hand, Hoteye had a quite particular appearance with geometrical forms with sharp angles around his body which made his appearance similar to a "Lego" figure.
As usual, Midnight was sleeping on the top of his carpet, however, Hoteye seemed to be excited, but at the same time, he was also quite nervous since he knew that he did something bad.
Hoteye had always been passionate about money and when he had heard that his guild was going to attack the richest man in the continent, he felt excited, but at the same time, he felt guilty since he knew that he would do something bad to that richest man.
'But everything's for my brother!'
Hoteye wanted to seek for his brother and that was why he was going to get rich no matter what. He decided to throw away his guild and asked his guildmaster.
"Master, are we really going to attack the richest man on the continent?"
Brain smiled and nodded. "Of course. With his resources, it'll be easy for us to get Nirvana." His purpose had always been "Nirvana" which was one of the strongest weapons in the legend that was capable of switching between good and evil, and even the reversal too.
Brain knew once he had gotten his hands on this weapon then he would be able to conquer this continent for himself.
"But do you think that it'll be easy? You know... as the richest man on the continent, he can pay a lot of magicians to become his bodyguards and even if we're able to threaten him to get all of his money, we won't be able to get all of his money," Hoteye said.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Brain looked at Hoteye curiously since he knew that Hoteye was the one with the brightest mind on business related matters. He was also a smart man, but he put all of his dedication on magic research and Nirvana since he didn't really care much about money or anything.
"I don't think that it is too easy. As you know, Bourne Walter's wealth and business has penetrated into various countries in this continent, even if we're able to steal everything from his house, we won't be able to control his business on this continent and I am sure that the wealth on his house is only small part of his wealth since if it me, I won't keep it in a single place."
Hoteye explained his view about the bad part of Brain's plan since it was too rude and it was better to not kill rather if he could do so.
Brain nodded since he knew that he didn't have time to control all of Bourne's business and even if he killed Bourne, he was sure that Bourne's wealth would enter the pocket of either the king or the Magic Council which somehow made it troublesome.
"So what do you think is better?" Brain asked.
"Isn't it better for us to use him by making him work for us? We can threaten him to do as we want since if we really kill him then the Magic Council and various guilds in this continent won't be in silence since his image has always been good in public. Once we kill him, we will become the enemy of the entire continent, even if we're strong, it is going to take a toll on us and it'll also postpone our plan to get Nirvana. It also won't be easy to kill him even if Erigor becomes our subordinate since I am sure that Bourne Walter also has his own subordinate and his relationship with Ten Saints Wizards. Even if Racer and Cobra are strong, it is going to take some time for them to defeat the Ten Saints Wizards," Hoteye said.
Brain imagined how he would be targeted by a lot of magicians from time to time. If he had Nirvana, then he wouldn't feel worried, but he hadn't gotten his hands on that weapon so he needed to lay down for a while.
"It seems that I am too hasty. When they have contacted us, let's just turn Bourne Walter into our hostage," Brain said.
"That's a good idea, Master," Hoteye said with a smile.
"Zzz....."
Midnight didn't say anything and only slept on the top of his carpet, however, in a moment, his eyes opened slowly before it turned wide open!
In an instant their location was frozen!
Brain and Hoteye were surprised, but Midnight's reaction was very fast since he used his magic to reflect all the ice which moved in their direction!
*Chill....*
It was very cold and Brain, Hoteye, and Midnight quickly used their magic power to defend themselves against this coldness.
"Hoteye!"
Hoteye quickly reacted and the ground around his surroundings turned malleable and soft. He thought to move the ice away since it was very cold, but it seemed that it was harder than he had thought since the ice was so hard and cold which lowered his concentration.
Midnight's breathing also wasn't good since the magic power that he used to defend against that magic.
*Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!*
The three of them heard the sound of clapping hands which made them frown. Then they heard the sound of footsteps from their right side. It was in the middle of night and they were in the middle of forest so it was hard to see their enemies, but then the clouds which covered the moonlight dispersed and they were able to see the faces of their enemies.
However, when they saw them, they saw three familiar people who walked beside their enemies as if they had joined them.
"Cobra, Racer, what are you doing there?!" Hoteye was in shock.
Brain looked at one woman, which was quite familiar in his eyes. "Angel?"
"It's been a while since Hoteye, Midnight, and Brain," Sorano said with a smile while waving her hand.
Hoteye and Midnight were in shock when they saw Sorano was still alive.
"So it is you?"
There were a lot of people in front of him, however, Brain stared at Bourne directly. He looked at Bourne in disdain and he was about to say something, but then...
Bourne appeared right in front of Brain and punched this guy!
*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!*
Brain was blown away several meters away and crashed into a tree directly!
Bourne was wondering why a lot of magicians in this world always talked before they started their fight, but he wouldn't follow the script and talked with the villain since it was at night and he wanted to go back as soon as possible since Ultear was waiting for him!
"......."
When Brain was being blown away, Hoteye and Midnight were stunned then they looked at Sorano, Cobra, and Racer who were on the other side.
"Let's talk," Sorano said.
