"So, what is it that you had to meet me for?" Nell asked, as he was sitting on one of a chair in the row of chairs, and was looking ahead at the people coming and going.
"It better be important," He continued, and his facial expression turned serious.
"Well," A woman's voice came from behind him, "I have something that you have to know, and it is important."
This woman who had summoned Nellas had long, silky raven hair, and was wearing a black suit.
Her eyes were sharp and her expression was serious.
She was a very powerful and influential woman and was known as one of the top three women in the whole city.
Her name was Aria, and she was the owner of the biggest company in the city, the Aria Corporation.
The reason why she called Nellas was simple.
"I have something very important to tell you, and I don't want you to panic," She said, and her tone was calm and steady.
"Is it about the Divine Slayer?" Nell asked, and his eyes were filled with seriousness.
"No," Aria shook her head, and her expression changed.
"It is something even more serious."
"Even more serious?" Nell was a little confused, he thought that it would be either about Divine Slayer or the Mr. Knight, however, now, she was saying that it was something even more serious.
'What could it be?'
He couldn't help but think.
'Could it be the Dark Magician?'
But, he quickly dismissed the thought.
"I don't know how to say this, but, Demonic Extractor is planning something,"
Aria broke the silence, and her words shocked Nell.
"Something bad," She added, her voice was firm, and she was resolute in her statement.
"Demonic Extractor? What are you talking about?" Nell asked, his voice was filled with surprise, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
'Demonic Extractor? It is bad, really bad.'
He thought, and a feeling of dread washed over him.
Demonic Extractor, the most feared and strongest Hero in the world.
One of the only three SSS-CLASS Heroes.
The leader of the most powerful group, the Heroes' Association.
"I am talking about the organization that is planning to do something really bad."
Aria continued, "Something really bad is going to happen, and we must stop them before it is too late."
"Stop them?" Nell couldn't believe what he was hearing, "Am I hearing it correctly?"
Aria wasn't someone who would say things just because she wanted to.
She was a smart and wise woman, and she would always think twice before taking action.
'This woman, what is she planning to do?'
Two days before Nellas met Ember he went to meet this woman, Aria.
From the memories of his past life, he knew that Aria hated both Divine Slayer and Mr. Knight to the point where she was willing to do anything to get rid of them.
After all, they were the cause of her husband's death or so she thought.
So, he met her and talked to her, asking her about Mr. Knight and the Divine Slayer.
At first, she refused to answer, but, later, she told him about how they had killed her husband.
And, he believed her, after all, he already knew what had happened.
"I will help you avenge your husband." The moment those words left his mouth, the atmosphere changed and Aria began to tell him everything about Mr. Knight and the Divine Slayer.
She also agreed to cooperate with him if he can help her kill her husband's murderers.
However, her story about the Divine Slayer was a little different.
'The Divine Slayer didn't kill her husband, it was Mr. Knight who did it.'
'But, the problem is, why does she want to stop the Demonic Extractor?'
Nell couldn't understand the reason, but, he knew that there had to be something wrong.
"Yes, we need to stop them, otherwise, they will cause a lot of damage."
"Why?" Nell couldn't help but ask, "Why would you want to stop them?"
"I don't remember you being someone who would help others if it doesn't benefit you."
"And, why would you even care if they do something or not?"
"Because," Aria paused for a second and her eyes hardened.
"Because, they are planning to do something terrible, something that will affect everyone in the world."
"And, I can't let them do it."
"What are you saying? Is this another one of your lies?" Nell questioned, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was cold.
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Why indeed," Nell sneered, "I know that you hate the Divine Slayer and Mr. Knight. You would do anything to kill them."
"But, if you are trying to trick me, then, you have failed. I won't fall for your tricks."
"I'm not lying," Aria said, her voice was firm, and her eyes were unwavering.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me, that is why I have brought something that will convince you."
Aria grabbed the file placed on her side and gave it to Nell.
"Open the file," She commanded, "Inside, there is a document. A document that will show you that I'm telling the truth."
"What is this?" Nell asked, as he took the file and opened it.
"Read it," Aria instructed, her gaze was fixed on Nell, and she was waiting for him to finish reading the document.
'The information contained in this document is highly confidential and cannot be shared with anyone.'
'Only the people who have the highest clearance can read this.'
'So, how did she get this?'
As Nell continued reading, he became more and more puzzled.
The information in the document was too sensitive, and he was sure that only the top brass of the government could get their hands on it.
"This information," He spoke, "How did you get this?"
"I have my sources," Aria said, her words were simple, but, the meaning was clear.
"And, the document is the proof. A proof that what I am saying is true."
"Proof?" Nell asked, his eyes were scanning the paper, and his brows were furrowed.
"What are you talking about? This information, how is it a proof?"
"Read the last page," Aria's eyes were sharp, and her voice was calm.
"You will understand then."
"Understand what?" Nell's eyes moved and went to the last page.
His gaze landed on the words printed on the paper.
'The organization's goal is to destroy the world and bring chaos and destruction.
The method that they will use to achieve this goal is by unleashing an ancient demon sealed by the gods and goddesses.'
'The ancient demon, its name is...'
Nell's eyes stopped on the next line, and his breath was caught in his throat.
"No way, it is him,"
