[Third Person POV]
"She must be pumped to work after I said his name."
Ryujin needed those chimeras as soon as possible and it was good that Brie was motivated to finish the work as soon as she could.
"System use the skin walker ring."
[Ok....Synchorinizing with 'Flint's' skin.]
After a few seconds the skin was attached to Ryujin's body. Even though he had done this before, it was pretty gross. He wore the Oppressors uniform and then headed out. He went the same route he had gone yesterday. Using so many invisibility would have definitely destroyed his mana core if not for Kairos.
Ryujin sensed something on a alley located at the back of the the dorm the Pegasus guild. . He then used his Nagis eye and looked at the mana flow around the alley. A black coloured aura was near trash and the person behind it was Genda.
'Rune Magic: Avion.'
The magic propelled his body at the speed of a jet and he was beside the trash bin.
"That is some high-quality item you have Genda."
Ryujin or now Flint said in a low and deep voice.
"Ahhh!'
Genda screamed on top of his lungs. The jump scare was too much for him to handle.
Ryujin put his hand on Genda's mouth.
"Do you want the whole city to know we are here?"
Genda shook his head and Ryujin retracted his hand. Genda was still shocked. There was absolutely no one who could see through this easily unless they were an S-rank hero and quite powerful one as well.
'I should never piss him off.'
" I just did not think you would appear like this. I was planning to hide here and once you approached at the gate, I would signal you to come here."
That was as stupid plan. Ryujin could not be anywhere in the city with this costume and the disguise would not work for he second time.
"Anyway, did you bring all the stuff necessary for me to enter the lair?"
Ryujin asked Genda.
"Yes."
He then took out some stuff from his spatial ring. It was a knife with brown color handle and hint of yellow on the blade of the knife. Then he gave him a cloak which was pitch black in color with some black magic traced across it. Ryujin took those items and asked the system to appraise it.
"The knife and the cloak are made from the body parts of Beelzebub. You can use the cloak to disguise yourself and enter the elevator.. Only a S-rank with exceptional observation will be able to see through the cloak. At first the elevator must be on the ground floor then you need to stab it with the knife. Please make sure nobody else is in the elevator while you do that. I would recommend you to come to the lair at 7 cause it is the dorm is the least crowded at the that time."
Genda then gave Ryujin some set of instructions and Ryujin nodded his head in satisfaction.
The system then showed Ryujin the information on the knife and the cloak.
[ Tooth of Abatu: A rank
Description: The knife was made from the tooth of the devil Abatu. The material is quite sturdy but had no other effect then open the stomach of Abatu aka the elevator.
Skin of Abatu: A rank
Description: The skin of Abatu has been turned into a cloak. Even though from studying the anatomy, it looks like the Abatu itself was not invisible but some one used its skin to make it an invisibility cloak. They might have used the power of Abatu which was to eat anything and then enchanted it to eat away the light and mana around the user to make them invisible.

The system was able to study so much of the items in such a short amount of time and Ryujin was impressed as well. The person who made this must have been an exceptional mage and also could be responsible for making this whole lair.
Genda on the other hand wondered why Ryujin was looking into thin air. Ryujin suddenly looked at him and smiled. He got goosebumps all over his body. The smile was really creepy....as if a dead was smiling at him.
" I am really pleased by your performance and hard work. Here have this."
Ryujin then threw a potion at Genda. He fumbled but caught the potion barely. Ryujin should probably stop throwing important stuff at people.
Glenda looked at he green coloured potion in front of him. It looked as if someone took a spinach and it into a soup.
"What is this-"
"Stop talking. Someone is coming."
Before Genda could ask, Ryujin shushed him. He had sensed someone coming here and they were not an ordinary being as well. Ryujin immediately wore the cloak that Genda had given him and hid behind some cartoon boxes in the alley.
Genda was perplexed by Ryujin's behaviour.
' I do not sense anybody except us here.'
"Genda."
A voice came from the right side from him just like what Ryujin did few minutes ago. Glenda's feet started to shake uncontrollably. His breathing got shallow. Ryujin peeked over form the boxes and saw a tall man wearing a robe. The robe did not hide his face entirely. He had the same coloured hair and eyes as Genda, except he was a hundred times more handsome and charming.
" Big brother."
Genda said as he was still shaking in fear. The person beside him the the vice master of the Pegasus guild, the next head of the Balcom family and a S rank hero , Gaetano Balcom. He was the embodiment of the person Genda wanted to be.
Gaetano then pulled Genda's hair and smacked him into the ground.
" You worthless piece of shit! I looked for you all over your office and here you are in the back of an alley. Do you think I have time to deal with someone like you?"
"I am sorry brother."
Genda said as his face was now covered in his blood and dirt. He was definitely angry but he could not do anything. There was no one who could lend him a helping hand. Power and talent was everything in this world and without it, even your own family treated you worse than an enemy would.
"Father wants us tomorrow for the meeting. He said that you did not pick his calls and sent me instead. Does he think I am his messenger? I am the fucking Gaetano Balcom."
He then again hit Genda and let his anger out on him. Genda almost lost his conscious for a moment. Gaetano then stood up and fixed his hair. Ryujin could see that he person in front of him was a narcissist through and through.
"Hmm..Who is there?"
Gaetano sensed a presence behind the boxes. He then again smacked Genda.
"Are you hiding something for me younger brother?"
"No! I would not do so."
Gaetano did not believe him. He walked over to the boxes. There was no one there but he felt something powerful hiding there. He punched the wall, trying to test if someone was actually there but his hand easily hit the wall.
Ryujin had tilted his head sideways and barely dodged the attack. He did not use Kairos to erase his presence as it would be too suspicious to disappear instantly.
Gaetano pulled his hand back after that and walked away. He then spit at Genda hair and kicked his face again.
"Do not be late tomorrow if you want you limbs intact."
Gaetano then disappeared into thin air leaving only dust behind him. Ryujin sensed that Gaetano had actually gone and not hiding so he came out. He headed towards Genda and picked him up. Half his teeth were missing, his nose was broken and was bleeding profoundly.
"It has always been like this. The strong prey on the weak. He is my family only on the paper and to the people but to me he is the biggest enemy."
Genda was tired of this and wanted to let his frustation out. Ryujin however did not fee any sympathy for this guys cause he knew what Genda had done as well. He deserved to be beaten like his but still seeing such a family bond disgusted Ryujin.
He then took out a potion and fed it to Genda. All of his injuries got healed in an instant.
Genda was touched by Ryujin's action.
"Control yourself for now Genda. I will make sure you have the power to drag your brother down and kill him on your own two hands."
Genda cried a bit and nodded. He wiped his tears and did not want to show his pathetic side to a person who was helping him. There was still some pride in him even after humiliated
"The green potion I gave you makes your appearance better.We need to remove your inferiority complex. Take one spoon each day and you will see the difference slowly but surely. Do not overdose."
Glenda could not believe his ears. He could finally have the charming appearance that he wanted. His dream to be handsome took over him and did not even question if the potion worked or not. He then bent down and grabbed Ryujin's leg.
"You are an angel sent by the heavens."
It was ironic how a villain who worked with demons was preaching about angels. Ryujin moved his feet but Genda was still bowing. It meant so much for him to change his body that he was ready to bow to anyone.
To him Ryujin was someone who could understand him and help him reach his goals. Little did he know that the person in front of him was simply raising a pig to be slaughtered after it got big
