* Alan Walker, K-391 & Emelie Hollow - Lily *

Caleb wanted to inform the police, yet he couldn\'t. Red Joe had most police officials under his thumb.

Flying away wasn\'t an option either since he\'d know of that as well, thanks to his men in the airport. Caleb had tried to let his daughter run away with her friends, at least untill he deals with the problem.

\'If I stay here, they shouldn\'t notice that my daughter has left with her friends. And even if they do, technically, I would still be here myself so that shouldn\'t cause any troubles...\' that was his thought process.

Yet, even though Red Joe was supposed to arrive in at least a week from now, he was six days earlier than what was first planned.

"Oh by the way, Mr. Drakon," Red Joe saw that Caleb was in a trance and decided to knock him out of it. "Good touch on your part to let your guards know about our arrival and ask them not interrupt us." Again, he smiled in a threatening matter.

\'F*CK!\' Caleb yelled in his mind as he realised what Red Joe was implying. \'He had already bought the guards\' loyalty...\'

Thinking about the kids in his basement, and especially his daughter, Caleb didn\'t know what to do so he decided to roll with it for now. His daughter means a lot for him after all and he wanted nothing that would harm her.

"Mr. Joe," Caleb said in a professional manner while having the poker face of a busy businessman, "I\'m afraid that 75% is too much... *sigh* but considering the fact that you\'ll keep us safe in the face of the many dangers we might face in this city, it\'s a small price to pay."

In the short span of a few seconds, Red Joe\'s face went from smiling to frowning and back to smiling again.

"Hahaha I knew I could recognise a wise man when I see one," he said in satisfaction as this have been far easier than he had anticipated. "Choosing safety over luxury is the best way to guarantee a happy life after all."

"Now if you don\'t mind, we\'ll be signing a contract..." he continued with another smile as one of his men approached Caleb with a sadistic smile.

"I\'m sorry, what are you-" Caleb tried to ask, but he was interrupted by Red Joe.

"Don\'t worry about it," he chuckled. "You know, a couple of studies seemed to support the notion that a strong trauma to the brain can be remembered for a long period of time, whereas a contract can be forgotten the moment a better one is presented, don\'t you agree Mr. Drakon?"

Just as the lackey was cracking his knuckles in a threatening manner, the door seemed to slowly slide open.

"Um, hi?" Raven peaked through the opened door with an innocent expression over her face. "Apologies, I thought this was the washroom, hehe."

Most of the people inside had a tense expression on their faces, including Caleb that didn\'t want anyone to get hurt, especially kids.

"It\'s ok honey," Rachel\'s father muttered almost too fast, "please leave for now, we\'re trying to sign a very important business contract."

"Hm, can I join you then?" Raven said in a too innocent of a face. "I\'m really interested in the business world and I\'d like to learn from you, hehe." she continued with a childish chuckle.

"Markos!" Red Joe called in a deep voice as he was fuming. "Haven\'t I specifically asked you to keep the kids from interrupting our meeting?"

\'Did he go the washroom instead of guarding the door as I requested?\' Red Joe thought while gritting his teeth.

"Markos!?" Red Joe called out again with a glare that was directed towards the childish Raven. \'That b*stard is dead meet when he comes back!\' he yelled in his mind.

"Oh, um, is this the Markos you were calling for?" Raven asked while opening the door, allowing the body of an unconscious man to drop on the floor.

"What did you do to him?" Red Joe suddenly realised that the kid wasn\'t normal. \'Markos is a B ranker, there\'s no way this girl took him down quietly...\'

"Oh, let me try to remember, hm," Raven said with a finger under her chin while giving a thoughtful expression, "oh, so what happened was that I only said hi... *nod* and then he fainted! From exhaustion I believe *more nodding*. You should really take care of your men, you know."

"Enough of this sh*t," he said as he looked towards his other men in the office. They were a total of three B rankers and one A ranker. Not including himself. "Knock the kid out, and get rid of her after we\'re done!" he ordered and his lackeys started to move.

"Wait, she\'s a kid!" Caleb yelled. But before he could do anything, the three B rankers moved out instantly as they appeared in front of Raven.

"Why don\'t we go somewhere else, kid?" one said in eyes full of lust. "I\'m pretty sure we could have some fun-"

Before he could finish, the others saw his body suddenly flop down the floor. Raven\'s eyes glowed with a dangerous golden light.

"Disgusting..." she muttered coldly as the atmosphere suddenly got so chilly for anyone to move a muscle.

Seeing lust in someone\'s eyes was enough to remind her of Lady Luck. Further more, she had obviously recognised Red Joe and that was enough to remind her of who she once was and how many people she had killed.

With all of the mixed emotions and memories of the past, her heart became ice cold, as did her expression. Something inside of her wanted to kill some more.

Redirecting her attention towards the other two men in front of her, she focused her dense mana in their lungs to prevent them from breathing.

Forcing them to suffocate was harsh, but she didn\'t mind. Fighting the urge to kill them, she watched as the two lackeys fell on the floor unconscious.

Just as the A ranker was about to make a move, Red Joe extended his hand to stop him.

"I see now that you\'re not just a random kid, huh." he said with narrowed eyes. "Who do you work with?" even though he tried to play tough, he was barely breathing. But he still needed to know what faction she was with.

Maybe if he wasn\'t so busy taking care of his \'business\', he would have been able to watch TV and maybe then he would have been able to recognise the girl in front of him as the SS ranker.

But even so, he should have known that they had a past together.

"Oh, do you not recognise me?" Raven threw a deadly glare at him. Feeling his soul almost escape his body, he put a hand on the desk to support himself. "Has your memory gone rusty all of a sudden?"

Thinking about it for a moment, Red Joe still couldn\'t remember. \'I would have definitely remembered a kid with such powers...\'

"Tsk, quite unfortunate..." Raven muttered as she let her aura run amok inside the office. Everyone but Caleb could feel their bones crack under the pressure. Raven didn\'t want to harm her friend\'s father after all.

"Maybe this will remind you," Raven\'s conflicting feelings and memories sent her from cold to bloodthirsty as a sadistic smile appeared on her face.

Suddenly, her shadow on the ground started to move as if alive and covered her body in an instant, creating the familiar dark armour around her.

A majestic golden one-handed sword was instantly generated in her hand as it radiated intense killing intent.

Even though the colour had changed to gold, and the size from two to one-handed, Red Joe was still able to recognise that sword and its wielder.

He had never seen the wielder\'s face up close, but he still couldn\'t forget the darkness of that armour that had always sent shivers down his spine.

\'Wraith....\' Red Joe tried to mutter but under this amount of pressure, he could he only watch in horror as his grim reaper got closer and closer to him with each breath he took.
