When the preparations were ready, Bigs said to Shiro < "Sorry for the wait, but we're ready now" >
< "No problem, I was already expecting you to waste my time, but I hope not unnecessarily" > , Shiro replied.
< "I like you, boy. You may be arrogant and cold, but you're very confident. Jun seems to have a funny squad. I hope you will visit us even after the attack on the Vulaj Empire " > , Bigs said not knowing that Shiro is a woman.
Shiro made no comment and they all set off for the Vulaj Empire.
Meanwhile, I regained consciousness but was lying on the floor, feeling even worse than before.
I heard screams coming from the other side of the door and they sounded like a woman and a child screaming.
I wanted to help but couldn't because I didn't have the strength.
Shortly afterwards, everything went quiet and a man with two large soldiers came through the door.
He ordered the soldiers to grab me and take me with them.
They each took me by one arm and pulled me into a huge hall.
In the large hall, they threw me into the middle of the room and chained me by both arms and both feet so that I couldn't move.
I wasn't feeling well at all and I wanted to ask them to please untie me, but I didn't even have the strength for that.
It felt like I was going to die at any moment.
Then a man came through the door into the hall and when he saw me from a distance, he said with a laugh < "You're the one who defeated the Tosa brothers? Seems like my worries about them were unfounded" >
< "Oh excuse me. Where are my manners? I didn't even introduce myself. My name is Mosuke and I'm Lou Vulaj's right-hand man. Or should I say, I was Lou Vulaj's old hand" > he said and laughed.
Mosuke asked me a few questions, but I didn't catch any of them because I was completely black in the face.
The longer I was conscious, the more I felt the urge to destroy everything around me and kill everyone.
The hatred I felt was hard to describe.
Suddenly I heard a voice in my head telling me incessantly < "Jun. Trust me. Stay loose. Let go of me. I'll take care of everything. Just go to sleep and let me take care of everything. I'll give you everything you want" >
< "Everything? Really everything? Even my brother?" > I asked the hopeful voice in my head.
< "Yes, everything. Even your brother. No matter what you wish for" > , the voice replied.
Then I saw a dream where Ake appeared in front of me and told me to stay strong because he had to leave.
All my feelings, which I had tried to shut away, suddenly piled up.
I had hoped that the moment would come when I would have someone to hug me and listen to my problems.
But that didn't happen and now I'm standing here chained up and helpless, full of pain.
< "That's exactly what I'm here for Jun. I'm the person you've been waiting for, so trust me and get some rest. You've done enough," > said the voice in my head, taking advantage of the situation.
In the meantime, Mosuke got angry because I didn't answer his questions and started kicking and punching me.
He was trying to show me his power, but I didn't even notice because I wasn't really conscious anymore.
At the same time, Bigs and Shiro were trying to get into the Vulaj family headquarters with Big's men, but one of the soldiers slipped and fell off the roofs, so they were caught by the guards and reported everywhere.
Thus began the great battle between the Vulaj, Mubae and Mt Reich.
Shiro ignored all the guards outside the headquarters and just ran past them all to find me.
Bigs and Ray tried to run after them, fighting every guard that stood in their way.
Meanwhile, Mosuke kept beating on me until a soldier came through the door into the hall and reported what had happened outside.
Mosuke let go of me and said < "I'll deal with you later. First I have to deal with the troublemakers outside" >
The two soldiers who were next to Mosuke stayed with me to guard me and Mosuke went off to get an overview, but when he left the hall, he saw Shiro, Bigs and Ray at the end of the hall and they saw him.
Then Bigs suddenly said very seriously < "That's Lou's right hand man. That means Jun was right with his guess" >
< "Perfect. I'll take care of Jun and you can take care of this Mosuke Bigs" > , Shiro said and ran to the hall from which Mosuke had come out.
Bigs agreed and told Ray < "Ray, this is one thing I have to take care of, so you go and support the little boy Jun" >
Ray hadn't seen Bigs so seriously for a very long time and accepted Big's decision, although he wanted to stay with Bigs.
Mosuke saw that they were running at him, so he fled into the corridor to the left of the hall.
Shiro and Ray ran into the hall and Bigs tried to grab Mosuke.
Even though Bigs was big and heavy, he could still run fast, so he got closer and closer to Mosuke and was about to catch him.
But Mosuke ran into a corridor on the left and Bigs ran after him at full speed so as not to lose him.
However, something big and hard hit Bigs on the head, almost sending him flying.
Bigs withstood the blow and realized that it was a trap set by Mosuke.
It was some kind of iron hammer that came shooting out of the wall.
If it was anyone other than Bigs, he would probably be a dead corpse without a head, but it only took Bigs a moment to pull himself back together.
He then continued running down the hallway, which only led in one direction.
At the end of the corridor was a door that led into a huge room.
Mosuke was able to keep a good distance, but Bigs didn't want to lose him, so he simply ran into the room without a second thought.
Suddenly Bigs was standing in an arena surrounded by 30-meter-high stone walls and saw Mosuke up in the stands, laughing and looking down at Bigs.
In the large hall where Shiro, Ray and I were, the situation also became very tense.
When Shiro entered the hall and saw me, she wanted to go straight to me, but was prevented from doing so by one of the two soldiers with me.
Shiro, however, continued to run at the soldier and cut off his head and asked the other soldier < "Do you want to get in my way too?" >
The soldier stood still and gave no response.
< "I thought so" > Shiro said and wanted to run back to me, but just before she reached me, the other soldier attacked her with his spear.
Shiro flinched, realizing from the first clash that he wasn't an easy opponent.
<"Who are you and why are you holding Jun?" > , Shiro asked.
< "Don't give a damn" > , the soldier replied and continued to fight Shiro.
Ray, seeing that Shiro was having trouble fighting the soldier, tried to support her, so it became a two-on-one.
During the fight, I was in even more pain than before and I started screaming.
The fight between Shiro, Ray and the soldier stopped briefly as Shiro and Ray were shocked at how I was screaming horribly in pain, but the soldier didn't mind and said with a dirty laugh <"Now that's what I call a cruel mood" > and got ready to fight a bit more seriously against Shiro and Ray who didn't know what to do as the soldier was too strong for them.
Meanwhile, Bigs and Mosuke were in the room next door.
< "Let me tell you how your best friend Lou Vulaj died. Bigs!" > Mosuke said with a dirty laugh.
