"I dare to guarantee you that if I have a son, I would never let him turn into such a person in the first place."
That's what Sky said to the old lady Muron before he mercilessly immobilise the old lady's son with a strong sedative drug given by Ben and dragged the man out from the basement despite how much the old lady pleaded for his son...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Sky and Sal got back to the Black Cross hideout, they put the immobilised and unconscious into a big culture tank that will keep him alive but hibernated.
"Lord Vlansky, I was supposed to be informing The Kingdom's laboratory to send someone to get him back to the laboratory for research purposes but according to Dr. Ben, we can't really trust The Kingdom's laboratory at this moment, so I have called for Black Cross personal analysing team from London to come over." said Sal.
"I see. That's a very neat arrangement." said Sky, who sounds slightly colder than usual.
"Hmm... Lord Vlansky, are you sure you are alright? After all, she is your old acquaintance and was somewhat having a romance relationship with you in the past." said Sal.
"What's next?" said Sky, out of the blues.
"What?" And Sal is confused.
"I remember you told me that Black Cross is still having some unsolved issues, and this is just one of them and is considered solved now. So, what's next?" Sky asked.
"Ah... I see... The next big issue is also related to Xenoo." said Sal.
"Let me guess, it's about the assault that happened to the students in Stevenson College, right?" Sky asked.
"Yes, you got it right." said Sal.
"Alright, explain to me everything in detail." said Sky.
"Yes, My Lord." said Sal.
And so, they are finally going to fill in that hole I dug in the few chapters... I mean... And so, after such a long period with all the thrilling event, it's time to solve that mystery in Stevenson College...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean by it's a quest from the Afterworld? We don't remember accepting any quest like that." Sky asked, he sounds slightly confused.
"Well, Terrence and I are equally confused as well, but Xenoo insisted that it's Terrence's command. But that brat does occasionally makes decisions on his own sometimes and you know, due to his different brain structure, he will sometimes create a imaginary scene in his head and eventually convinced himself that, the imaginary in his head is real. So it's most likely that, he accepted that quest on his decision but he lied to himself that, it's Terrence's command, and his brain convinced himself that lie is real." said Sal.
"Ah... Sounds complicated but I see... Tsk... I had been suspecting what he did that day has nothing to do with Black Cross, guess my assumption is right on the point after all. Tsk... Seriously, that brat could have got himself into a big trouble. He really should be glad that both Chris and I are having a memory loss that time, especially Chris. If he found that Xenoo is interacting with the Afterworld and accepted they quest on his own will, I can't imagine what Chris would do to him." said Sky.
"Yes. I thought about that as well, which is why I wasn't planning to dig in deeper into this matter until recently where the dark secret of Hangan of Afterworld been exposed. I started wondering if that quest Xenoo accepted has anything to do with that dark secret." said Sal.
"Hmm... By right it shouldn't be, as I remembered, Xenoo is merely investigating about the issue of student getting assaulted by some unknown 'Soul-Consuming individual'. Tsk... Hold on... Why does this looks awfully similar to the Muron's incident?" said Sky as he thought of something all the sudden.
"Mhmm... That's what I have been thinking all these days... It can't be just pure coincidence... Right?" said Sal , slightly troubled.
"Hmm... Tsk... I am having a crazy thought in my head right now." said Sky, with a thoughtful look.
"What is it? Master Vlansky?" Sal asked.
"What if... What Xenoo is not entirely a lie?" said Sky.
"What?" And Sal is confused...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Sky's house.
In the kitchen, Maria is seems to be cooking a pot of beef bone soup with all sorts of materials that looks kind of healthy and nutritious, or perhaps over nutritious.
"Hmm... Maybe I should add more celery and maybe some mushrooms... Oh! I remember there are some eggs in the fridge..." Maria murmured.
And yes, he is obviously not a good cook. And in case if anyone wondered how did he got all those ingredients despite almost a whole dimension is sleeping, he has his own source of supply.
Just as Maria happily adding all the ingredients he wants into the soup, suddenly, someone rang the door bell.
"Ah... Who is it at this moment..." Maria mumbled as he put a lid onto the pot and cleaned his hand.
"Hold on there! I'm coming!" Maria exclaimed, he doesn't seem to realise if there is anything for a doorbell to suddenly rang in a dimension where of the people are asleep...
As Maria clumsily opened the door, he is surprised to see Rei, the Queen of The Almighty Kingdom standing outside the door.
"Ah! It's Rei-chan! What are you doing at here?" He asked, sounds slightly excited.
"Can I get into the house?" She asked, brief and direct...

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
