Alterin Saga: Biohazard
Episode 16: Cafe Valiant's

Valiant's Cafe is a fairly simple cafe, but it highly upholds art. Every inch of the wall of this place is always covered by freestyle painting, like a brush that is only gently scratched and follows one direction.

The cafe is still crowded with visitors. Even when we came, almost all the tables had been occupied. I didn't expect there to be such a good cafe in the Southern District.

We were ordering a drink when Sora approached a barista and asked.

"Good morning. Uh. last night I called the owner. We'll meet today. Has he arrived?" ask Sora.

"Meeting? Oh, the owner's in his room. Let me drop off, "the male barista walks over to a door that says 'Employees only'.

"Hey, what about the drink?" Bill protest. We followed the barista.

"Later on, Bill. There was no alcohol in the cafe anyway" Sora said.

"Please enter, the owner is inside" said the barista who then left. We are now standing in front of a wooden door with a charming carving.

"You really made an appointment with the cafe owner?" ask Laura.

"No. But he would understand," Sora directly opened the door. Inside, we could immediately see many trophies lined up on display shelves. A typical table of big bosses, and someone was sitting there. A woman about 25 years old.

"So, what do you want?"

...---...

"We look for—"

"David Bossman..he's dead, right?" the woman cut Sora's sentence. Sora looked a bit upset, even though it was his habit.

"Yes, a few days ago. Can we talk directly? Olivia L Brown?"

The woman looked at Sora sharply. Seemed very wary of Sora. He got up from his chair and approached us.

"I know who you are, but I don't know this person" Olivia pointed to Sora.

"Huh, you don't know me. You forgot the memory of the trauma of Alaster's death, didn't you?" Sora looked at Olivia sharply. It's like they hate each other.

"So, you guys looking for that tape?" Olivia asked me.

"Recorded?" I became confused.

"You don't know? Alaster made the tape before he was killed. The tape has been kept for years. Waiting to be taken by Alexander Rave"

"Alexander's Rave?" instantly everyone looked at me.

"Me?"

"But I don't even know my own abilities"

"Then, I won't give it to her," Olivia walked over and sat back in her chair. Everyone's waiting for me to bring out the capabilities of Project 01.

"Come, Rave. You can do it" Sam patted me on the shoulder.

"How did you do it, Bill?" I asked for a clue.

"Just imagine something happened because of that cell. Sometimes I don't even have to imagine it" Bill said. I'm getting confused.

Just do it, Rave!

I closed my eyes and concentrated, even straining. I can't imagine anything. There's only blood red. It's like a fire.

I opened my eyes and saw something happen. Everyone sweats a lot. Looks very hot and hot.

"What's going on?" ask Miko.

Boom!

Suddenly there was an explosion from outside. Panicked cries of cafe patrons, the sound of goods falling and breaking.

Sora opened the window curtain and showed something frightening. We have been surrounded from all directions. Nine and his army had arrived with a full arsenal.

"They've arrived. We gotta get out of here. Hey, we need that tape!" Sora gripped onto Olivia's shoulder.

"will not. Better no one has it. The fate of the world cannot be bet on a Project that cannot do anything" Olivia said.

"You..." Sora is getting angry. Then he slapped Olivia.

"You should have been with Alaster in the grave too, so we could have found that place sooner!" Sora releases Olivia. Then pat Bill on the shoulder.

"Hold them, Bill. We're counting on you"

Bill smiled casually, "Sure, Sora. I'll take care of them"

Then Bill broke through the glass window. Fighting against the Nine. Gunshots and explosions came from outside. While we were walking left Olivia still sitting in her chair.

"You'll regret it, Olivia. That day, you made the wrong decision" Sora said.

"I never regretted anything. Even when I didn't save my own husband"

"You deserve to die"
