"You found her?" The man said with a grin on his face as he looked towards his secretary
"Lucy?" Alan muttered with his eyes wide opened, "You found Lucy?" Alan asked with a confused expression
"Huh? You know Ms Almond?" The man asked
Alan awkwardly nodded his head in agreement
"Kid, do ya even know who yer talkin' bout?" Kwon asked in a thuggish manner
"Mr Kwon, why are you speaking in that indecent accent?" The secretary asked while still on the phone, "Trying to scare the kid?"
"Calm down, will ya? And Kwon, leave" The man said in a relaxed manner
Kwon looked at the man low spiritedly and said "Kay", he then looked at Alan, "See ya around kid" before leaving. After he left the room, a grin appeared on his face, "Tch, that kid, and that damn secretary"
***
"Sir, I have the coordinates" The secretary said
"Let's go, and get some of that thick money!" The man said, before looking at Alan with a smile, "So you know her?"
"Apparently, Yes"
"Come with us, let's reunite you with your lost room partner"
***
The three of them came out of the room
The secretary held Alan's wrist tightly, and followed behind his boss
"I wonder what she is up to right now" The man muttered before he and the two people behind him heard someone arguing around the corner
"This man?" The businessman sighed before he walked towards the source of the noise
"Mr. Walker is not taking any visitors right now" A lady told an old man. She was standing behind a desk, and looked as if she was a receptionist of sorts
"Hi Mrs. Elvina" The man said cheerfully once he reached the corner, "Sup, Elder!" He greeted in a confident manner and a devilish smile
"You Bastard!" The elderly person who was quarreling with the receptionist said in an angry tone
"Calm down, elder, such language doesn't suit an elder of Diamond Clouds" The man said cheekily
"Well whatever, because now you–" The elder said but was interrupted
"Elder actually I have something very important to do right now, let's catch up later" The man said as he waved his hand
The three of them then moved towards the elevator, when suddenly a figure rushed towards them from the back, he had an intent to kill in his eyes.
The man was within this figure's reach when suddenly, he felt two intents glaring at his soul, the pressure made him sweat heavily. The secretary appeared in front of the figure's path, and kicked the person's calf, sending him away.
The attacker was one of the elder's men, the attacker groaned in pain as he looked at the elder with fear.
The man looked at the elder with coldness, "Well, elder, perhaps it maybe time to finally settle the score with ya". He tilted his neck and a dim, yet a visible, glow of red appeared in his eyes. The air in the hallway became cold, as the man raised his hand to his chest level, and formed an orb of icy blue crystals.
"You gonna play with that? You think I am a weak opponent?" The elder said with a nasty expression. The old man then pointed his index finger towards the man, and a shard of crystal grew on the tip of his finger, the crystals had a very grotesque shade of purple.
The next second two more shards grew, and in just a few seconds these shards had covered his palm and his wrist. The shards looked like the scales of a dragon, and they had an ominous feeling around them. "Now, Die!" The old man shouted as from the shards a sword bloomed, the sword was more like a large spike of crystal, but had a defined curve to represent the base.
"Bonded weapon, huh?" The man said as he looked at the old man's sword
"Well, let's see who has a stronger bonded weapon" The man shouted towards the elder as he raised his hands to his chest level, forming a cross with them.
"Elder, in my humble opinion, you should be accompanying your grandson right now, don't you think so?" The secretary suddenly said as he walked towards the elder.
"What happened to him?" The elder said indifferently
"He is in the group's hospital right now, he fought a very strong opponent, he might even-"
"That boy, always making trouble, god-damn" The old man said, interrupting the secretary, he then looked at the man with an angry look and said, "Just you wait bastard" before leaving with his subordinates.
"I'll be waiting" The man replied with a smirk.
Once the old man left, the secretary looked at the person who had attacked his boss previous, the attacker had passed out.
The secretary told Mrs Elvina to call the medical team for the person before he walked up to his boss. "Shall we leave, sir?"
"Yeah, sure"
The secretary began to move towards the elevator, when his boss said, "But, where is the boy?"
"The boy?" The secretary thought for a second, before he remembered what his boss was talking about. Alan, the boy, had escaped when the secretary walked up to the elder to stop the fight.
"Damn" The secretary thought to himself
"It's alright, just ask Kwon to look for him" The man said easing his secretary
"Let's go, we have wasted enough time already"
***
"Lucy? Why are these people looking for her?" Alan thought to himself as he hastily exited the building. He panted heavily standing in front of the building's glass gates, when he noticed Kwon and one of his men, eating bagels together. It seemed as if they were unaware of Alan's escape.
Suddenly Kwon got a call, and he picked it up, after 5 seconds and said something to his subordinate, Alan couldn't hear what he said, but he could make out "Ran away" by reading his lips.
The subordinate then looked around and pointed his finger in Alan's direction, then Kwon turned in Alan's direction. Alan's eyes widened when he saw this, and ran away with the push of the wind. His face filled with worry.
While running through the crowded pavement, Alan noticed a beautiful girl, she wore black clothes, and had no makeup on her face, she looked gorgeous. Alan's eyes locked onto her, she was so beautiful, that even in crisis, Alan couldn't stop himself from looking at the beauty.
For just a second, the girl's eyes and Alan's eyes locked onto each other, both of them looked into the darkness of each other's abyss like eyes.
Once Alan reached about two meters away from the girl, the trail of wind pushing Alan, lifted the girl's skirt. The girl didn't care about that, instead she blankly stared at Alan. "He's fast" she murmured
***
The boy had now lost Kwon, and was calmer than before.
"She is supposed to be somewhere around here" Alan told himself as he looked at his phone. The boy had located the coordinates on the assistant's phone using the map on his phone.
He was now standing somewhere in the small range of hills that surrounded the city from the west, the hills were lush green and were filled with different flora and fauna.
"Where?" The boy muttered
He walked uphill and wandered for a few minutes before he heard some weird noise followed by a feminine voice shouting, "Damn you!", the shout came from the peak of the hill.
The boy recognized this voice, it was Lucy's voice. "Lucy?" he thought as he rushed towards the peak of the hill, his eyes lit up, but there still was some uncertainty in his mind, why did Lucy shout? Was she with someone? Was she safe? All these wild thoughts ran through Alan's mind
After a few moments of running, he saw a figure in the distance, the figure was lifting another person by their throat. On seeing this, Alan ran faster and pushed himself with a gush of wind.
As he reached nearer to the spot, he could clearly see that a man was throttling a petite woman, and that woman was Lucy.
Alan's eyes widened on seeing this sight, and he shouted "Lucy?" as he ran towards the man, who stood several meters away
"Huh" the figure thought, "You know that kid?" He asked Lucy
"Acquaintance" Lucy replied coldly
"Never lie to Minos" the man replied with a cold smile behind his white mask
