Chapter 60 - Owl

Adam stopped right in the middle of the Obstacle Course with both of his hands on his knees and tried his best to catch his breath while his belt slowly turned off on its own "Okay I think that's enough for today, I'm so thirsty."

"Hey Lion I'm going back now and don't forget that Bull will get discharged from the hospital tomorrow okay? I will wait for you right in front of your apartment building early in the morning okay?!" Bunny who was standing near the entrance of the Obstacle Area shouted while looking towards Adam who slowly walked towards her.

"Yes, Bunny I won't forget about that see you tomorrow morning." Adam smiled and waved towards Bunny who nodded and walk out from the Obstacle Area while Adam walks towards a bench that has his green bomber jacket laying on the edge of it.

Adam sat down right in the middle of the bench and grabbed a neon green water bottle from under his jacket. Adam drank the entire bottle in a couple of seconds and released a long sigh.

Adam puts down the neon green bottle right beside him and reached his right hand into his right jeans pocket. He took out a small piece of paper that has a drawing of a capital letter B with a cross in the middle of it and holds it with both of his hands. "Whose logo is this? Who is Unknown? And why did they want to kill me?"

"I hope Owl has the answer for those questions." Adam pocketed the small piece of paper while grabbing his jacket as he stands up. He took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance of the Obstacle Area.

"Where is the train? It's unusually late today." Adam looked around the empty train station while pocketed his hands into his jacket.

"Crown." A large blue tab appeared right in front of Adam's face and showed the number of crowns that he has which was eleven million eight hundred sixty-five thousand three hundred forty-seven crowns.

"That should be enough for all of my questions right? I don't want to use that for these questions." Adam took out his right hand out from his pocket which was holding a small yellow ticket that has a Chinese dragon drawing in the middle of it while a shiny silver train arrived at the train station.

"Do I really have to do this every time I come here? Isn't there another way to come inside?" Adam scratched the top of his head while standing right in front of a red wooden door that has a piece of paper stuck in the middle of it.

Adam knocks on the door three times and the floor underneath him suddenly opened on its own. After a couple of minutes of falling the long, dark, and cold chute Adam landed on the pile of colorful plushies.

He quickly climbed out from the pile of plushies and looked towards Owl who was watching a small old television that was on top of a small trolley, while smoking from her small wooden smoke pipe as he fell to the ground.

Adam stands up and walked towards Owl's round table while she picked up her cup of tea that has a very aromatic smell coming out from it. Adam sat down on the opposite side of Owl and looked towards the television "The police have raided a building that was suspected to be a hideout of the King. The police have been chasing the King for twelve years and this is the biggest lead that the police have ever found."

"Tsch! Why do they always wanted this game so much, the King have done an amazing job there's nothing that they should do." Owl turned off the television with a small remote and puts the remote down on the table.

Owl looked towards Adam as she slowly turns towards him while putting off her smoke pipe. She grabbed a teacup on the table and poured a cup full of tea from her large ceramic teapot and gave it to Adam "So what do you want to know Adam?"

"I have a couple of things that I want to know but I want you to tell me about this symbol first." Adam reached to his right jeans pocket and gave Owl a small piece of paper.

"Owl did you watch my second game?" Adam asked as Owl grabbed the small piece of paper.

"Yes I did watch your second and you did a very good job at your second game everyone loves your second game," Owl said as she holds the small piece of paper with both of her hands.

"Thank you Owl. Do you remember the last girl that I killed? She gave me a vacuum-sealed bag and inside of it, there were two things. An old phone and a piece of letter that was colored in black which was sealed with a wax seal that has that logo." Adam explained while pointing towards the small piece of paper that Owl was holding.

"Inside that piece of letter, there were pictures of Bull, Bunny, and me. She told me that she was contacted by a woman who was named Unknown and she was threatened to kill me or get killed with poison capsules that were planted in her heart. I want to know who is this woman called Unknown." Adam explained as Owl slowly opened the piece of letter.

"Yes, that beautiful girl and this logo. I can't believe this logo has come out from its hiding spot." Owl stared towards the paper and slowly stroked her chin.

"There was a man with a cat makes came to me at the hospital, his name was Chester and he told me that it's not the right time for me to know about that. Are you going to tell me the same thing?" Adam asked while looking toward Owl who quickly shook her head while she puts down the small piece of paper to the table.

"I will tell you anything you want to know for the right price but I don't think that you need to know about this because this is way bigger than you and this very dangerous." Owl explained while picking her teacup up and took a couple of sips.

"Give me eight million crowns and I will tell you what this logo means and a simple description of them that's all I'm allowed to give you," Owl said while putting her cup down.

"Eight million crowns? That's really expensive for that amount of information, can't you give me a little bit more for that much?" Adam asked while looking toward Owl who quickly shook her head.

"That's the only thing that I can give you Adam because the things that you want only known by The King, The King's Guardians, and me. I'm putting my life in the line here so eight million is a very reasonable price." Owl explained.

"Okay fine tell me about the logo." Adam sighed as he took his hand out and give it to Owl who quickly reach under her table and took out a scanner. As Owl scanned Adam's watch a small blue tab appeared right in front of him.

"You're about to make an eight million transaction. If you're really want to make this purchase stare at the green button if no staring at the red button." Adam quickly looked towards the green button as the entire tab turned into a large green checkmark.

"Thank you for buying my information, now let me explain to you what this logo means." Owl smiled as she puts down her scanner on top of the table and looked towards the small piece of paper one more time.

"This logo belongs to a group called Bangarang. They're a very old group that was created right after the government achieved their world peace. From the first time they were created, they didn't have a leader but they have several Pillars or Warlords that always increased in a couple of years but no one knows how many there are. Their main goal is to paint the world with blood and start unending chaos, to put it simply they wanted to end the world." Owl explained while looking towards Adam.

"And you told me that the one who contacted the Hyena masked girl was called Unknown right?" Owl asked.

"Yes, that's right Unknown." Adam nodded.

"Unknown that's the first time they have ever used that name. Unknown could be a new name for one of their warlords or pillars. I can't tell you about the other warlords or pillars that we know, because it's a very very dangerous piece of information. You said that they want the hyena masked girl to kill you right?" Owl asked.

"Yes. That's what Rachel told me." Adam answered and took a sip of the tea from his cup.

"I don't think it's that simple. I'm pretty sure they don't just want to kill you there's something much larger here but I can't figure it out yet." Owl stroked her chin while looking towards Adam.

"Thank you for your time and the information Owl, see ya." Adam smiled towards Owl who was waving towards him while the elevator door closed on its own.

"Do you really think it's okay to tell him that right now?" A wall that was right in front of Owl suddenly moved downwards on its own and a tall figure walked out from it while Owl took a sip from her teacup.

"Kuma, what an honor for a King to come and visit me how are you, my king?" Owl smiled while slowly put down her teacup on the table.

Owl slowly stands up and walked towards Kuma who stopped right in front of the hole in the wall "I think it's about time for him to know that and I only gave him an ant size of information so I don't think it will do any harm."

"Come on Lion! We have to pick up Bull right now!" Bunny shouted while pulling Adam as both of them walked along a large and empty road sideways.

"Okay okay, calm down Bunny. It's still very early. We got a lot of time in our hands he can wait for us." Adam answered while yawning widely.

"No no no, that's not what best friends do, walk faster Lion I know you can run really really fast!" Bunny shouted while still pulling Adam's right hand.

"Okay, I'll run now." Adam smiled while Bunny let go of his arm and he ran as fast as he can leaving Bunny behind.

"Hey wait! Don't leave me behind!" Bunny shouted as she ran as fast as she can trying her best to catch up to Adam.
