Vishnu left Alchemy Association. After some time he arrived near an alley and then stopped. Looking towards a dark patch in the alley he said "Elder you can come out now." It didn't seem like there is anyone there but after Vishnu spoke the darkness shimmered a little and a figure came out of it.
It was of course the gold-level Elder who was protecting Vishnu before he left, Hayward.
Vishnu looked at the man and nodded to himself. He couldn't even tell the man was there even after being informed by Arthur. Hayward on the other hand had a wry smile on his face. To him, it looked as if the young man could easily see through him no matter how he tried to hide. It made a beautiful misunderstanding but no one was there to witness it.
