Meeting Ares.

<Flashback >

<General perspective>

After John left on the bike, and after a while on the road, he saw a little girl feeding biscuits to a dog. The little girl saw John and shouted, "Hello, sir! Are you a superhero?" Her eyes sparkled as she looked at John.

John saw her expression and, not wanting to ruin her mood, he nodded. As the little girl approached John and touched his armor with her hands, she exclaimed, "It's so solid, Mr. Superhero!" John looked at the girl and noticed a book about sign language. She was wearing a big bag that said, using sign language, "What are you doing here?"

The little girl was surprised. "You know sign language? I've been learning it since I was 5 because my big sister can't speak, so I learned it to make her feel better."

John nodded and replied in sign language, "I understand. But what are you doing here at this time, all alone? It's not safe here."

The girl laughed and responded, "You really are a superhero, caring about me when we just met. As for why I'm here, I can't answer that to a stranger."

John's mouth twitched under the mask as he signed, "But I am a superhero, right? So I can help you." John himself didn't know why he wanted to help this girl.

The girl thought for a moment and replied, "I'm waiting for my sister. We're leaving this city because our father has taken loans from all kinds of bad guys, and my sister wants me to have a normal life."

John nodded and signed, "Okay, but be safe." As John left that place, he said, "Rey, can you delete me from all the CCTV footage?"

Rey replied, "Yes, I can, sir, but it will take 30 minutes."

John nodded. "Then do it."

After a while, John saw a shop that was open. He removed the helmet in an alley and put it in a bag, while still wearing a mask that hid half of his face. John looked like the Winter Soldier. He entered the shop and bought some candies and a beer. He took a sip of beer and looked at the candies, unsure why he bought them. Then he got on the bike and drove to the place where he had last seen the girl.

As he arrived, John saw the girl's book and bag lying on the ground, alongside a dog with blood all around its body. John checked the dog and found that it was still alive. Filled with anger, John said, "Rey, I want you to find out who took that girl or where she is."

Rey replied, "Sir, it might take some time, but I will find them quickly, as Miss Katie has already deleted your footage from any CCTV."

John nodded and picked up the dog, heading to the nearby pet hospital.

After tending to the dog and paying for everything in advance, John set out to find the girl. Rey informed John that the girl was inside an old factory outside the city.

John drove his bike at full speed. Before arriving, he put on his helmet again and suited up.

Inside the old factory, Tattoo Guy looked at the Little Girl and said, "Even if your sister is the best assassin in Italy, she still has to pay the debt your father owes us." The girl was too scared to say anything. Tattoo Guy slammed the table and stormed out of the room.

A motorcycle entered the factory gate. When a guard pointed a gun at the rider, he was swiftly knocked out, along with 40 others accompanying him. The factory was vast, covering 1 square kilometer.

After neutralizing a total of 94 men in the first section of the factory, the masked man moved on to the second section.

A man was inspecting the weapons his boss had recently acquired when he noticed the masked figure entering. He shouted, "Who are you, freak? This isn't a Halloween party!"

The masked man didn't halt. The man pulled out his gun and fired, but it barely scratched the intruder. Another man saw this and grinned as he grabbed an RPG, launching it at the masked man. The blast threw him 8 meters back.

The man who fired the bullet looked at the RPG wielder in horror, shouting, "Idiot! Do you know how expensive that equipment is? And you fired it at some unknown Halloween freak!"

The RPG wielder snorted but turned pale when he saw the masked man still standing unscathed. He turned to the other man and said, "Get more weapons; that bastard is still alive," loading another rocket into the RPG and firing it at the masked man again. This time, the masked man didn't budge after the blast. The man ran inside to fetch more weapons.

After the man returned with four more RPGs and additional rockets, the RPG guy began loading and launching rockets. The masked man and the other men followed suit but stopped when they ran out of rockets. Before they could react, the masked man swiftly threw short knives, piercing their throats one after another. Despite being engulfed in flames and physically exhausted from recovering from the blasts caused by a total of 14 rockets (some missed due to the masked man's inhuman speed), the masked man pressed on.

John was also pointing a gun at the woman who looks like a tomboy with tattoos on both of her arms, but there were bruises all over her body.

(Pic in the comment)

Before John could do anything, a little girl shouted, "Ares, you are here."

John looked at the woman and then at the girl. "Is she your sister?" he asked.

The little girl nodded. "Yeah, she is my sister."

John sighed and put the little girl down. As she ran towards her sister, he started checking her condition. "How did you get hurt?"

Ares replied with sign language, "It's okay, I am alright."
