Probably dislocated his jaw there. Looks painful.

Continuing my trail of wreckage I kept knocking out the men while dodging their attacking or directing them towards their allies. After a few minutes, all the men were either on the ground groaning or unconscious except for the leader and the two guys with pistols.

Heh, I even held back since the s.p.a.ce was limited.

So they didn't shoot while I was fighting? I'm not sure if that's because they care about shooting their comrades or if they were just in shock.

The man once again looked at me with eyes that I was already used to seeing, except this time they were filled with fear instead of schemes.

"Monster....H-how did a girl like you take down all my men....." He whimpered while slumping to the ground. Realizing that he still had two people left, he pointed a shaking finger at me and started whimpering.

"Y-you two, get her. There's no way she can beat guns!"

Rude.

Before the two guys could react to his words and aim, I was already in front of them and easily disarmed both with two sharp kicks to their wrists. The pistols fell to the ground. I picked one up and slammed the b.u.t.t of the gun into the temples of the two astonished men.

They couldn't react at all, makes it easier for me.

The man saw this and gulped. I saw a thin sheen of sweat glistening on his forehead. He started scrambling backward but b.u.mped into the table that he had propped his feet on just a few moments earlier. Noticing that he was cornered, he panicked and kneeled down desperately at my feet.

"I didn't mean to actually hurt you, I just wanted to scare you a bit! I regret what I did, my eyes were blind. Since you're not hurt anyways, it's not a big deal right?! Just let me go and we can forget everything that's happened!" He begged with tears.

. . .

This guy....I'm actually a bit disgusted right now. He's begging a high school girl? Where the heck did your pride go.

"You're telling me to just forget about how you threatened me, woke me up, made me bike half an hour to get here, confess to me, and break my headphones while purposefully aiming for my head? Not even to note, you screamed at your men to shoot me without hesitation? Even worse, you didn't even apologize. You probably wouldn't have hesitated to shot innocent people just to save yourself. Don't call yourself a man in the future cause that would be an insult to actual men."

I huffed impatiently after finally getting a chance to vent out my annoyance.

"Hey, what's your name?" I asked.

He hesitated for a moment before stuttering.

"Alexander."

It sounds like a n.o.ble name, how ironic.

"I'll just call you Alex then."

I emptied both the guns ammo and dropped them onto the floor. I glanced at Alex while deciding what to do with him and all his unconscious men.

There's no need for me to ask for money unless I just want to make life harder for him. Should I ask for information? I'm curious as to how they got such a fancy office located under a luxury hotel.

Right as I opened my mouth to ask, an angry voice came from the doorway.

"...Since when did I allow people to enter my office?"

I spun around in surprise. There was a lone man standing behind me. How did he get so close without me noticing?!

Jumping back to create a safe distance between myself and the mysterious man. I studied him with caution.

The first thing I noticed was that he was extremely good looking.

I'm not gonna lie, he was at the same level of handsomeness as my older brother. 10/10 figure and a very charming face.

His sharp eyes stood out the most, they held a curious feeling to them, as if he could see right through you. No doubt that they're from the same organization, he might even be the leader since he called this office his.

I probably can't beat him at my current level. The good news is that he doesn't seem interested in me at all. He walked directly towards Alex, who was still on the ground and picked him up with one hand at his collar.

"I always knew you were stupid, but you really did it this time. Storming into my office without permission to kidnap a high school girl? I would have let you off with some light punishment if nothing happened, but you actually got beaten down. That's unacceptable as a bishop." He threatened with a voice filled to the brim with rage.

Alex limply hung from his collar without a noise, not looking the man in the eye.

"MY. OFFICE. IS. OFF. LIMITS. The only reason you kept your position as the 7th bishop was because of your background but it looks like that was a bad idea. However, finding someone to replace you is too troublesome. So these bullet holes in my carpet, how are you going to compensate me?"

"I-I'll pay. I'll pay you compensation!" He choked out in panic.

The man dropped him lightly with a silent nod and finally focused his attention on me.

"Now why are you here? I can't trust this guy, so I hope you'll give me the truth...."

I put on a poker face and chuckled.

"How the heck am I supposed to know? Your subordinate just messaged me to come here, I would rather be sleeping."

The man looked at me closely and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Ah! I remember you now, you're that girl who saved me when I was in a pinch that one time! Yuri, was it? You probably don't recognize me, I was in a disguise back then. Remember the crazy cops?" He happily exclaimed while snapping his fingers. "Hahaha! I was wondering how a high school girl could beat up so many men by herself, it makes sense now."

.....Uh...that personality switch was really surprising. But wait, I saved him before...?

I decided to stay silent since he continued to talk.

"Nathan once told me that he met you. He said that you took down a run-away p.a.w.n who was waving a knife around with just one move. Heh, he's that guy who dresses in all white."

Ohhhh! Now I remember! The guy who called himself Bishop!

Now that I think about it, Alex was called a bishop as well. If this is this guy's office then....wait.

I opened my eyes wide and stared at the man.

Joker?

-----------------------------------------------

Rei Mizuki stood in front of a giant screen staring at it with bewildered eyes. Light from the bright screen reflected in his eyes but he didn't blink a single time. He simply stood there digesting all the information he just read.

Finally coming to his senses after a long time, tears slowly started streaming down his face.

"I.....I finally did it? Finally! 10 years of non-stop researching and I've finally managed to succeed! Sofia....." He cried hysterically while covering his face with his hands and falling to his knees. "Finally I can see you again..."

He continued his sobbing kneeling on the ground, not noticing the movement on the screen.

On the large flatscreen, a woman wearing a cotton white dress had just woken up from a lavishly decorated bed and was looking around in confusion. Getting out of the bed and looking at herself in the mirror, surprised appeared on her face. She opened her mouth in amazement. Her appearance was of a beautiful woman and her hair color was identical to Yuri's. Even though her figure was one of an adult, her face appeared ageless. She had a mysterious aura that would naturally attract crowds and her bright amber eyes had a certain uniqueness that could enrapture anyone, even those of the same gender.

"I'm...still alive?"

She was still caught up in her own thoughts when she suddenly remembered something.

"...My children...Rei....father....where are they?"

She looked around the room.

"....Where am I....?"
