Chapitre 99: Chapter 18:Following close and an old face

Opening his eyes Nathan scratched them before going to the bathroom and clean up.

"Good morning Nathan"

Entering the room he could see how Adryan was already awake and was looking at him with calm eyes.

"Good morning boss...."

Looking at the table in front of the redhead Nathan just raised an eyebrow at the redhead who just kept smiling.

On the table was a mask and a black windbreaker with a hood.

'Isn't this what he was wearing when we first met him?' Recognizing the mask, Nathan said as he looked at the redhead.

Grabbing the windbreaker and pulling it on, Adryan gave him a smile as he pulled on his hood.

"We can't be sure that our enemies won't attack these days, after all Divination isn't omnipotent, so I'll be guarding you in secret."

"Boss are you sure?"

Sasha entered the room having managed to hear what the redhead had said and asked first.

"I'm sure but don't worry you won't know I'm there so you can continue with your day in peace"

'That doesn't comfort anyone' thought Nathan and Sasha at the same time who had a flat face at the words of the redhead who had an innocent smile.

"I'll watch over you while Sasha gets to the Harvest Church and then watch over Nathan for the rest of the day."

"After all Sasha will be the safest of the three of us while she is inside the church"

The redhead said calmly as he grabbed the mask on the table.

"Boss, are you sure this is necessary?"

Adryan let go of his smile and with a serious face looked at Sasha who broke out in a cold sweat.

"Sasha we face unknown enemies with unknown numbers, the only thing we think we know is the day they are going to attack but that doesn't guarantee anything so we can only be very careful to avoid any hidden danger that we don't know about"

"Got it boss..."

Lowering her head slightly, Sasha responded somewhat embarrassed while looking away.

Ignoring this, Adryan only put on his mask and spoke with a more serious and mocking tone of voice.

"While we're out there I'll just be Mr. Holmes, do you understand?"

"Understood Mr. Holmes"

Nathan and Sasha responded at the same time, feeling how the man's aura changed slightly to a more dangerous one.

"Perfect you can go"

Nodding to the couple's words, Adryan pointed to the door as he watched them.

Looking at the masked man, Nathan just shuddered as he walked to the door of his house followed closely by Sasha, both casting discreet glances towards Adryan who just followed behind calmly.

Both having left the house, they waited for Adryan to come out but when they turned around they discovered that there was no one behind them.

Looking from the nearby alley at his two companions who were looking around trying to find him a smile formed under Adryan's mask.

"Nathan we should go..." it was Sasha who spoke first after looking for Adryan for a few seconds but not being able to find him.

Looking around and still somewhat surprised Nathan just nodded.

"You're right, Bo-Mr. Holmes had said that we wouldn't notice that he was watching over for us."

Nathan corrected in time and they took a public carriage on their way to the Harvest Church.

Following them closely, Adryan moved between ceiling and ceiling with speed, not being able to be seen by the people on the ground.

A Sequence 7 hunter's tracking and stamina skill had increased considerably so following a public carriage was no problem for Adryan.

After a while the carriage stopped in front of the Harvest Church and Sasha got out and quickly entered the church before the confused look of the driver.

Nathan who was inside the public carriage just shook his head and then spoke to the driver.

"Take me to East Borough..."

The driver listening to the request just nodded and headed towards the destination.

Following the carriage using the roofs and alleys, Adryan reached where the Red Band used to hold their territory.

'You just had to work around here, right, Nathan,' Adryan thought somewhat bitterly, still remembering his fight against the meat monster.

Putting his thoughts aside, Adryan kept watching over Nathan and he always tried to look around the man for danger but he couldn't find anything.

Although he managed to find a hooded figure of somewhat short height that moved through the crowd of workers approaching slowly towards a dark alley.

'Wouldn't that be....?'

Looking towards the alley where the figure was going, Adryan managed to see from the roof where he was a group of 5 men talking among themselves.

They were unaware of how a short figure entered the alley and was approaching them.

One of the men had managed to see the figure who was now about 4 meters from them and shouted something alerting the others but before any of them could do anything the figure moved quickly towards them and drawing a triangular sword it faced them.

'Yep, it's Miss Sheriff' he thought as he watched as who he suspected to be Xio fought against the men.

'Though I wonder what she's doing here?'

Watching as Xio kicked into the stomach of one of the men, Adryan groaned for the poor bastard.

'Uff you don't get up from that friend'

It didn't take long for Xio to knock out the last one but one was crawling trying to get away but Xio didn't allow it instead she grabbed the man's leg and pulled him towards her then kicked the man while seeming to say something to him.

'She seems furious, what did those bastards do to make her so angry?'

Xio was holding the collar of the man's shirt as she tried to interrogate so she failed to see how one of the men she had knocked out slowly pulled out a revolver and pointed it at her.

'Shit, how she doesn't realize that!!!!' thought Adryan in alarm as he put the Burned Band on his arm and used a Shadow Leap to get there.

"WHERE IS HE?!!" Xio yelled loudly as she punched the heavily swollen face of the man who was trying to cover himself.

"I don't know I swear!!!" the man said with difficulty as he cried in pain.

Before Xio could ask again the sound of something falling to the ground made her let go of the man as she grabbed her sword and spun around.

So she could see how one of the men she had knocked out before had his arm extended towards her and on the ground there was a revolver.

On top of the man who had his mouth open while drooling was a figure covered in a black windbreaker and with a gloomy mask on his face watching her.

"You should make sure that the people you knock out stay knocked out" the man spoke mockingly as he got up from the man and kicked the revolver away.

Xio just stared at the man while tightly holding her sword.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

"It is not necessary to be so aggressive, miss" seeing that Xio still maintained her posture and did not put away the sword, Adryan shook his head.

"I'm no one in particular, just a normal samaritan who saw a person in distress and helped"

"I had it covered" Xio replied defensively and Adryan just pointed at the revolver that was to the side.

"You almost got shot in the back and you wouldn't even know it until the bullet hit you, that's not 'having it covered' to anyone with common sense," he teased as he rested his shoulder on the wall and crossed his arms looking at Xio who gnashed her teeth.

Before they could continue talking the man that Xio had before had tried to get away but Xio stepped on the man's leg with force causing him to let out a scream.

"Please help me" the man said as he looked at Adryan with swollen eyes while the redhead just tilted his head to the side.

"Sir, I would recommend that you give the lady what she wants before she makes your face look like a deformed Mulock."

"Damm you...."

A kick reached his face and Xio grabbed his shirt again as she placed the edge of her sword on the man's neck.

"This is your last chance bastard, tell me where your boss is or say goodbye to this world"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk!!!"

Bringing the sword closer until it drew blood from the man's neck, Xio spoke in a deep voice.

"Fast"

'Shit miss, I knew you had a reputation but to think that you would be some kind of Batwoman, who would have thought?'

Seeing how the man trembled with fear and was very pale, Adryan compared this to the famous bat detective.

"Mr. Joseph has been busy trying to take the Red Gang's land for himself but the Red Skeleton and Creed gangs have had the same idea so he is trying to negotiate with them."the man quickly spoke while sweating profusely and trembling.

Hearing the name, Adryan was slightly surprised and looked at Xio with a raised eyebrow.

'Mr. Joseph? that's the name of the head of the Black Skull gang, what would Xio want with someone like that?' the documents he had stolen from the Red Band pointed to this boss as one of the craziest and most dangerous just below the leader of the Red Moon.

Hearing this, Xio slapped the man's face several times before speaking again.

"Where is Joseph?"

"I already told you I don't know, Mr. Joseph moves between this area and ours secretly and the only one who knows where he is is the second in command Billy Brown!!" the man shrilled as his pants got wet and an ammonia smell reached Adryan's sensitive nose and he frowned.

'This guy's kidney must be rotten,does he even drink water?....'

Xio ignored the smell of urine and she just placed the point of her sword at the man's forehead.

"Where's Billy?"

The man was as pale as a dead man and was shaking as if suffering from an extreme case of hypothermia as he stared at the sword.

"He frequents the Blue Bar and Red Theaters in the Red Street at 8:00 p.m. you won't have a problem finding him, he is a skinny man with sunken eyes along with a large scar on his left eye!!!"

Xio only nodded at the man's words, letting go of his dirty shirt.

The man's face lit up with joy but he only managed to see how a foot collided with his face and then nothing.

Clap Clap Clap.

"Brutal brutal now with the chair!!!"

Whistling and clapping at Xio's move, Adryan spoke as Xio shot him a look while still holding her sword.

"Don't you have a sense of humor"seeing that his joke went over the head of the woman Adryan said as he stopped clapping.

"What is your business with me?"

"I don't have any business with you, like I said I'm just a good samaritan who decided to help"

"Then why are you still here?"

'Great observation'He thought with a smile under his mask, and leaning against the wall, Adryan replied.

"I just wanted to see the show and I couldn't leave after hearing that you had business with the leader of the Black Skull....Don't be so aggressive I'm not part of the gang." he said and added as he watched as Xio almost went against him.

Still alert, Xio asked as she watched for any sudden movement from the masked man.

"May I know why?"

"I'm interested in them and I wouldn't mind helping you deal with them, of course that depends on whether you're only interested in the leader or in destroying the whole gang"

"Who are you again?" Xio asked seriously as she watched the man move away from the wall and move closer to stand in front of her.

"You can call me Mr. Holmes, may I know your name miss?" he said as he extended his right hand towards her.

Xio had to raise her head in order to look at the man's masked face due to the difference in height.

After all she was barely 1.62 meters tall, with her boots adding 10 centimeters, while the man in front of her was easily 1.84 meters tall.

Looking at the outstretched hand, Xio only took a step back as she answered.

"You can just call me miss"

With a small laugh, Adryan lowered his hand as he nodded.

"Understood miss"

'Let's play this game,Miss Judgement' Adryan thought with a smile under his mask.

Xio just nodded as she put away she sword.

"I want you to understand something Mr. Holmes, we will be working together as long as the leader of the Black Skull lives, when he dies our collaboration ends understood?"

"Understood"

"We will be in contact through the bar at the bottom of this street, every Monday and Wednesday we will see each other behind it at 6:00 p.m. If you are ever absent or do not attend for any reason, our collaboration ends"

'Miss, is this a job interview or what?'

"We'll talk again tomorrow goodbye Mr. Holmes" Xio said as she left the alley leaving Adryan and the men she fought earlier alone.

"Okay guys I'll let you wallow in piss and dirt by yourself bye"

Looking at these men who couldn't answer, Adryan only bowed slightly and the shadows enveloped him, disappearing from the alley.
