Chapter 3 Painful

The group of people entered a room in the bar. They consisted of ten people dressed all in black. Not long after, they walked into a dark room and met someone. Inside, they all seem to respect him and then a conversation ensues. That group of people was none other than them. Behind the door was one of the members who dragged a man and then beat him to a pulp. The battered man was then ordered to say something to one of his bosses. The man said nothing and was then beaten again until he was unconscious. They kept laughing and enjoying the copious amounts of alcohol in front of them.
"It sucks. You should just say everything," said one member.
At one point in the bar, Mckena who was in disguise a few minutes ago saw them enter the room. Slowly, Mckena searched for their boss. However, just as he was about to follow them one of the customers saw him. At that moment, Mckena quickly beat up the customer and knocked him unconscious.
"I'm sorry," Mckena said and walked away.
This bar, which is located in the underground city of Eldelius, is often visited by various kinds of people. Those who become workers even the owners don't care who comes. Mckena quickly came into the room and disturbed those present. As a result, the battle began. Mckena had to deal with ten people at once. While their boss just stood there watching the battle. Without further ado, Mckena immediately made them all battered and then the boss immediately pointed a gun at Mckena. Seeing this reaction, Mckena just chuckled and it turned out that the person was not the person he was looking for.
"Damn it, looks like I got the wrong person," Mckena said with a chuckle.
“Bastard! How dare you finish off my precious subordinate,” said the man as he walked towards Mckena and was about to pull the trigger.
"Too bad, you're about to end."
So the man was about to kill him with a gun, Mckena first shot him in the head and killed the man on the spot. Not long after that, Mckena immediately left the room. Luckily the room was not equipped with a CCTV camera so he didn't bother. While tracking the whereabouts of the people he is looking for, Mckena then checks all the points that are suspected to be the movement paths of the dark organization. Mckena who did this task alone, then remembered about Antoni. Not long ago that person had not contacted him and even headquarters. According to Leo, Antoni has not given any news for a long time. From there, Mckena immediately tried to track his whereabouts. He quickly headed to a place that was suspected to be their hiding place. Not far from the 76th district of Eldelius city, there was a building that looked quite gloomy. Mckena went straight there in disguise as usual. Arriving at the place, several employees were seen wearing neat uniforms. There are also female employees. This place is like an entertainment agency. Not caring about that, Mckena headed straight inside and it turned out that he was not that difficult to enter this place. Seen from any angle, it turns out that this is indeed the agency building of the artists.
In a different place, Leo as well as Gabriel were preparing for their journey to the southwest side of Eldelius. It wasn't far from where they were now. Ilya who had been preparing all this time then headed to the room where the two of them were. Seen there Gabriel and Leo who started to bring their hunting equipment. Because at any time the enemy will attack them.
"Are you guys ready?" ask Ilya
"Yes. Just leave."
"Okay. Come on."
"Wait a minute, I forgot something," Gabriel said and then brought an object that turned out to be his pocket watch.
"It's finished?"
"Yeah, let's go."
The three of them then left. In the trip that must be traveled by car, they had previously rented it. Because this is a fairly close trip so there is no need to use a portal. The three of them casually enjoyed the trip. Here, Gabriel is seen looking around the city. Even if you look at it from various angles, it's beautiful. Today the weather is also quite sunny. They passed a road filled with trees that looked so lush. Arriving at a tall gate, Leo tried to ring the bell and found no one to open the gate. The three of them couldn't get past it. Until the end of desperation, someone opened the gate and they were finally able to enter there.
“That sucks, I almost lost my temper earlier,” Gabriel muttered
“What is a homoculus seintrovert?” ask Leo
"Not. Not everything is like that.”
"Do you hate humans?" ask Gabriel
"Not really."
"Then why isolate yourself? You know wherever you look it's a wilderness."
"It depends on each individual."
"Good grief."
Once the three of them arrived at the place, then got out of the car and met a small child. The little boy opened the gate for them. Her sweet smile appeared on her face and made Gabriel feel happy. A boy with dark hair and beautiful eyes. When they were about to knock on the door of the house, an old man came towards them and the boy then shouted at the old man.
"Uncle," said the little boy
"There seems to be a guest, sorry if I didn't have time to open the gate," said the old man in a friendly manner.
“I am Ilya and they are both Leo and Gabriel,” said Ilya
"Nice to meet you. I'm Vincent Alius and this is my nephew Jonathan," said Vincent
"Actually, we came here because there was a lot we wanted to know," said Ilya
"Of course. Please come in."
The three of them then entered the house. Inside is very artistic. Besides, it seemed like that person was a professor because there were so many books in his room. Gabriel then saw something that was there. What he saw was none other than an ancient artifact that looked still in good condition. He slowly looked at the artifact. Vincent then told them to tour his residence. Because when viewed from the outside, this place looks like an ordinary house building in general. But once you enter it feels like you are in a museum. Ilya, who had been watching a clock in that place, and then asked Vincent.
"Excuse me sir, is this watch yours?" ask Ilya
"Of course. These are all in my collection.”
"Oh yeah, there's a few things I want to ask you."
"Yes, please go ahead."
"Do you know where the residence of lord Lucius is?"
Upon hearing Ilya's question, Vincent then sighed and tried to say something to her. Seeing the expression on his face, Ilya then looked at him with a sharp gaze and it made Gabriel feel uncomfortable. Because they both look serious.
"Of course I know."
"Then can you tell us where it is?"
"Yes. But he's not someone just anyone can meet."
"Why?"
"That's obvious. Because he is the leader of the organizational group.”
"What?"
"You wouldn't know it, of course, Miss Strauss."
"What do you mean? You guys are hiding something from me?” said Ilya, raising her voice.
"Not. Not that."
"So what?"
“Not everyone who belongs to the homoculus race knows the facts. Because it will only trigger war between each other. Moreover, the Abyss was not an entity that should be summoned but rather annihilated. However, no one can do it to the best of their ability.”
“I have no intention of eliminating him.”
"What?"
"You misunderstood sir. We came here just to find out where Lucius is. It's impossible if it's dead. There's no such record, or is this all just a lie you guys made up?"
“Wait, what exactly is this? Why are you keeping Lucius' whereabouts a secret?” ask Gabriel
'This child, apparently so,' Vincent thought with a small smile
“There are no secrets. Well if you guys come here for that I'll tell you where it is."
“Good,” said Gabriel
From then on, Leo just stayed silent and watched the person. From his eyes reflected something that said uncomfortable. Leo continued to remain silent without missing a single move. Besides, the boy just now looked suspicious. There wasn't even a sign of life in him. Again a feeling of discomfort enveloped him and it made Leo feel something strange. Previously, he did have supernatural abilities even though only a little and that was also known by the madam who was none other than her teacher. Leo then glanced at Gabriel and found that this person didn't look as strange as before.
'What is this? Impossible. This must be just my feeling,' Leo thought
"Why is it taking so long sir? Weren't you just about to say where Lucius is?” said Ilya in the silence.
"Be patient. I was just about to say it.”
"Long time."
“Lucius is at his residence. That person is never going anywhere because he has to guard something valuable. So, if you want to meet him, come to his residence which is located near the south of Eldelius.”
"Wow that's amazing," said Ilya
"That place, has a seal and can only be opened using this key," said Vincent while giving a spell circle to Ilya.
"Really I owe you a favor," said Ilya
By now, the three of them had figured out where Lucius was hiding. That person is quite a mystery. Not long after they talked with Vincent, Gabriel then looked in pain and shocked those who were there. His face showed a pain so painful as if torn apart.
“Gabriel,” said Ilya
"What happened to you? What is this?” Leo said
"Unlucky."
"What are you saying?"
They then panicked and saw Gabriel like that. On his left chest is a mark.
