Meanwhile, Damien was scouring the streets in the dead of the night looking for Valentina. He knew that if Valentina left the forest, the only place she would wander would be the city since that's the only place he had told her about.
He saw a dim-lit shop where an old man was selling some common items. He approached the shop vendor and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen a girl with pink hair passing through any time recently?"
The old man's bored expression immediately lit up on seeing Damien, as he got up in a jittery motion, "Senior Azrael...what can this lowly one do for you?"
Damien said in a slightly frustrated tone seeing how this old man didn't even hear what he asked, "I said did you see any little girl with pink hair recently?"
The old man's heart trembled when he noticed the annoyance in his tone. He said as his mouth quivered, "Senior...this morning a little girl did walk through the streets alone. The poor girl's face was scarred."
