(At the same time elsewhere)
"Welcome, Miss Kyouko."
"Please have a seat."
Erik welcomed Kyouko within the dining hall; located on the 40th floor of the [Dream Technology Building].
Yes, there was a dining hall within the building!
The whole room was a fabulous creation of humans; the black-gold theme made the place seem like a high-end hotel!
Late Mr.Saltzman Sr. in his early days stressed a lot! on comfort.
Typical American-behaviour which was further inherited by his son, Erik Saltzman.
During his reign, he firmly believed in providing the best working conditions for his employees so that they, in turn, would produce outstanding output.
Reinforcing the reputation of the company in the process; across the world!
So, taking it one step further!
Erik hired a private company named [Smoke Shisha] to install a dining hall in all of Saltzman company building all across the world.
Today was Saturday, a typical holiday to play warzone and relax!
Other than a few workaholics maniacs and the staff, the whole building was empty.
Knowing it would be so!
Erik had invited Kyouko to have dinner with him.
Some things had to be addressed; a display of strength was another necessity in this case.
Only after that would he would visit the hospital, to heal Chiba Toshikazu.
Erik wore a simple white tuxedo and black gloves; as always.
He sat on one end of the huge dinner table as he motioned for Kyouko to sit down on the chair while the staff brought their dinner; on the other end.
The woman in question wore a simple navy blue gown and some jewelry; clearly not wanting to have some dinner while her lover continued to suffer.
"Doesn't a gentleman pulls the chair for the lady; first?"
She had been feeling pretty annoyed by the rhythm of events; thus her snarky mood!
Unfortunately or rather....fortunately for her, Erik rarely took offense.
He merely looked at her and replied calmly; in a rather tasteless manner.
"I am no gentleman."
"Today, I am only a businessman who has invited you here for a grand show."
"What do you mean, Mr.Saltzman?"
Kyouko thought that she would only need to endure this pointless dinner for a small amount of time but by the looks of it.
Things weren't as simple as they seemed to be!
Unfortunately, Kyouko lacked patience!
"You have already wasted so much time! And for what!?"
"Oh let me guess! A dinner!"
"A fucking dinner!"
"There Toshikazu lay in a coma while we!..."
"We are having a 'fantastic' dinner!"
Gasp!
Kyouko was having trouble breathing as her eyes blurred.
The bottled emotions within her heart were bursting out!
Like the blazing hot magma, emerging from a volcano!
"Now, Miss Kyouko..."
"There is no need to get so worked up!"
"I assure you..."
"The show that awaits you; will surely satisfy the burning flames of vengeance within your heart."
Erik, of course, didn't talk offense as to how his guest had just exploded into a fit of rage!
He was someone who actually understood others, someone who was actually willing to listen.
And he had heard so much!
That he didn't want to hear any longer!
Another reason for him to pursue the [Eye of the Moon]!
"Look out from the glass and tell me what do you see?"
He motioned for her to tell him what entered her view?
What was she seeing after looking out from the glass?

(Overhaul POV)
Huff!
Huff!
Huff!
I made it out!
I fucking survived!
Gathering the emotions I was experiencing at the moment, I turned to take a look at my subordinates.
Or what was left of them!
Four of them stood behind me, we were nine people at the beginning and now only five of us were still alive!
[Sin of the Dragon]!? What a ruthless monster!
He must have known about the abilities of my group!
He must have known that I am not able to properly use my magic within a compact area!
I don't see any other way of his killing so many of my group even when we were protecting each other!
Fighting that...'thing' at night is simply courting death!
Even after the combined might of my subordinates; we hardly even landed a hit on him!
That peculiar magic of traveling through shadows is just too broken!
Fortunately, the sacrifices weren't for naught!
We managed to escape the fabled killer relatively unharmed!
Hahaha....!
From the looks of the things; I doubt he would continue with his hunt!?
Especially since we are no longer inside the sewage system!
Not to mention that now, I could finally use all of my magic without any problem; in this open area!
Oh? Now that I see, where are we?
"Where are we?"
I questioned one of my surviving subordinates; hoping to find some useful information about my current location.
You may wonder why do I not know where I am?
Well, when you are being chased by an undead maniac who hardly took any damage; you tend to forget certain things.
"We are currently at the [Maddison Park]."
One of my subordinates answered my question.
Hm...[Maddison Park] huh?
I wonder how far is the airport from here?
I took a look around to see if that lunatic had followed us out of the sewage system.
I spent a couple of minutes observation the whole park using my sensory magic; to find out if anyone was around in the park.
---
Nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
How strange!
I couldn't even sense the presence of insects within this park!
Now, this!
Concerned me very much!
Chill!
The hair at the end of my neck stood up all of a second; forcing me to immediately jump back from my initial position!
Clang!
The place I had been standing on a couple of seconds ago was ravaged by a roaring storm of psion!
It crushed the very ground I had been standing on; before of course my instincts helped me avoid a fatal injury!
"You dare!?"
As if on the queue, my subordinates immediately raised their C.A.Ds towards the newcomer.
Ready to fire at the moment's notice but I motioned for them to stand down.....for now, that is!
I wanted to see who has been sent to try and assassinate me!?
Especially since [Sin of the Dragon] "failed" this time!
---
The new figure wore a black costume with a mask covering their face!
The new figure held a long sword within their hands as the purple psion was overflooding from their body!
Judging from the newcomer's body structure, this person was a female.
Now whether it was a woman or a girl? It couldn't be assumed without observing their features.
Clink!
The newcomer raised their sword; pointing towards me!
"I will kill you, Overhaul!"
Bellowed the newcomer in a tone filled with pure primal anger and killing intent with seemed to cover the beautiful night sky!
Fuck my luck!
