Despite Hangan is not very cooperative, he is concerned about the reasons behind the arrival of the trio, especially with such an extreme method. With no intention of hiding, Sky told Hangan everything that happened in Null Dimension, including why they are looking for that boy.
"So that's what happened in Null Dimension... Tsk... Why am I not informed about that..." Hangan murmured a bit, seems to be in a dilemma.
"Which is why we need to find that boy no matter what. And according to Mr. X, you are the one who had taken the boy away from the KILLER organisation." said Sky, trying his best to convince Hangan.
"I understand your concern. But for your information, I would never get myself involved in this sort of mortal thing and would never have any interaction with any party that is having potential to affect our works in Afterworld. However, if I do find that boy you mentioned, I will get him to you immediately." said Hangan, still denying everything that was told by Mr. X...
After the failed attempt, the trio left Hangan's mansion and headed to a safer place to discuss about their next move.
"Tsk... This can be quite troublesome, Mr. Hangan is definitely hiding something." said Maria, slightly frustrated.
"Yes... Even you have noticed it. Mr. X did not lie, Hangan must have hidden that boy somewhere. Tsk..." said Sky as he tried to recall and analyse every single detail of the conversation they have with Hangan to find some clues.
"Hmm... Hold on... I think I might know where he hide that boy." said Sky as he suddenly thought of something.
"Darling, what is it?" Maria asked.
"When I told him about the crisis in Null Dimension, his eyes movements kind of betrayed him... I don't know how accurate this might be but let's give it a try." said Sky as he started walking back in the direction of Hangan's mansion, while Maria and Ai followed him, slightly curious and confused.

Meanwhile, Kapis Dimension.
A few hours have passed since the time perception in Afterworld is different from Kapis Dimension.
The purification of the corrupted core of the Tree of Life is finally done. With all the hard work these few hours, both Chris and Ben are already at their limits. Both of them are seated on the ground leaning on the tree trunk of the purified Tree of Life with their eyes closed.
"Damn it... This surely took a long time." said Ben, who sounds rather tired.
"Well... At least it's done now... I almost thought that I would fail." said Chris as he is catching his breath.
"Seriously, there is always a better way but you chose the hardest way." said Ben.
"Think of the bright side, now with the Tree of Life got purified, the problems in the village are totally solved, including the addiction issue, the tree told me that they will slowly reduce the amount of that addictive components stage by stage until the villagers are totally free from it." said Chris.
"Hmm... That is indeed a good return for our hard work. Talk about the village, I wondered if Junior had done with the task I gave him." said Ben.
"Ah... I am actually quite curious about what task you had given him, care to tell me a bit?" Chris asked.
"Well... You will see as soon as we got back to the village." said Ben with a subtle tone.
"Uh-huh..."
Despite being a bit curious, Chris did not continue to dig in deeper, he believes that Ben knows what he is doing, furthermore, he will know it once they returned to the village.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as Chris and Ben returned to the village, Chris is surprised by the extraordinary scene in the village. The villagers who are still very unfriendly to them in the day suddenly have a sudden attitude change and greeted them with hospitality, he can't help but wonder did the behaviour of the villagers have anything to do with Ben's task for Junior.
However, before Chris could get clear of the situation, he is greeted by a much more astonishing scene. Junior who is in a colorful and luxurious outfit is seated on a sedan chair that is carried by six village men and is slowly heading towards them, wherever behind the sedan chair Junior is seated on are another two sedan chairs that are carried by another twelve villagers.
"Ben, care to explain now?" Chris asked, slightly speechless.
"Haha... Well, it is a bit too exaggerated, but that's pretty much the effect I wanted." said Ben with a subtle laughter.
"Damn you, Benjamin Hua, just freaking tell me the whole thing." said Chris, kind of annoyed.
"Alright, fine... Let's see..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, according to Ben, he noticed that special trait of villagers in the village where they still believed in god despite with the dire condition they had been going through for years, thus, he wondered if he could use those traits of the villagers to help them gaining trust from the villagers, since if they are able to gain trust from the villagers, their works would certainly be much easier and smoother.
Then, Ben remembered that Junior is a werewolf x angel hybrid who actually has a pair of angel wings, and so, he convinced Junior to act like a messenger from god in front of the villagers by showing them his angel wings.
To make the whole thing more convincing, Ben has also convinced that village man whose wife had just given birth to a pair of twins to tell the other villagers how his wife miraculously survived that dangerous premature birth with birth complications earlier...
