Elite Scope
Chapter 53

It takes a whole day to get to Osaka. And now they got there in the morning.

Ellard, Freya and Hailey enjoy ice cream in the middle of the beach before occupying the inn.

Hailey who was still with a sour face ate her ice cream faster than the others. Even Freya who could be said to be a diner was quite surprised by it.

"Is he okay?" freya whispered to Ellard.

Hailey glanced with a sharp glare at those who just made Freya flutter and away from Ellard.

"You why?" ellard asked Hailey, who was running out of ice cream.

Hailey sighed softly while throwing away the ice cream wrapper. He feels uncomfortable with following Freya on this vacation. Supposedly, this vacation was just Hailey and Ellard. But I don't know since when Freya interfered in this. And of course that makes Hailey careless.

Ellard just let out a long sigh with Hailey's attitude that always ignored her.

The wind blew, ruffling Ellard's hair. But this atmosphere reminded Ellard of Lily who had the same personality as this wind gust.

"He was always cheerful, just like this wind" Ellard murmured.

When Hailey and Ellard are tired after a long trip from Tokyo to Osaka. After putting all his luggage into the closet. Freya eagerly went to the beach, ignoring the exhausted-looking Hailey and Ellard.

"Goodoo. He left eventually," Hailey murmured.

Ellard wants to rest. But his long journey from Tokyo to Osaka was only for this. Ellard thought in vain that he sacrificed his composure in the mansion.

In the end, only Hailey was in the villa. Ellard also to the beach, enjoying the hot sun with the waves that roll gently in the middle of the sea.

The little waves that came to the shore touched Ellard's bare feet. The scorching sun can still be felt even though sunglasses are perched on his nose.

"Today it's quite hot. Do I go back to the villa?" thought Ellard.

Freya, dressed in fairly revealing clothes, showed her two cleavages quite happy and played by the beach, ignoring the blazing sun.

Ellard's body accidentally bumped into someone behind her as she was about to leave. The figure of a tall man quite handsome with blonde hair took off his sunglasses with a wrinkled forehead.

"sorry. You okay?" ask the guy friendly. Ellard nodded with a flat face.

Ellard's gone. But again stopped when accidentally saw a black suitcase with the Alicon logo is carried by the man.

"He, this Alicon member in Osaka?" mumbling Ellard.

Not expecting, if Ellard will meet with one of the members of Alicon on Sayoko's beach. He wanted to find information about the man. But that seems unnecessary given the purpose of Ellard coming to this City just for a vacation, not to interfere with the members of Alicon anymore.

The man named Cleo glanced at his black suitcase that rang. He opened it, found his communication device sending a distress signal.

"There is a danger situation. I gotta hurry." Cleo ran away.

Ellard who had not moved from where she was standing from earlier saw what Cleo had gotten. He ran, following Cleo all the way to the center of the City.

Cleo who previously only wore ordinary clothes already looked neat with her Alicon uniform. Ellard stood leisurely by the side of the road, leaning against one of the columns.

Cleo continued to look at her phone while occasionally looking at the state of the City. Not long after, suddenly several luxury cars came at high speed, crashing into every vehicle in front of him.

As the cars passed by, Cleo threw a small tracking device attached to the trunk lid of the car. The young man would easily trace where the car was going.

"That car? I saw the plate in Tokyo. If it's not wrong, they're one of the dark organizations that sell illegal goods on the black market" Ellard murmured.

A meaningful, yet mysterious smile was engraved on Ellard's lips. This would be an interesting scene for Ellard to see. He won't help, but he'll watch, watch.

Hailey woke up with a dazed face. He didn't see Ellard in the villa. Is it possible that Ellard is with Freya? That was what Hailey thought, and that thought was what made her instantly angry when Freya came.

The girl instantly showed the look of her sharp eyes to Freya.

"You why? Did I make trouble?" freya asked after chugging a cold drink in the refrigerator.

"Where's Ellard? You were with him, weren't you?"

"No. I thought he was resting in the villa."

Ellard was wearing the black jacket he had just bought from the store. He was still around Cleo who looked focused on her phone.

Ellard pulled the hood of her jacket over part of her face. He then walked to the side of the road, about to cross.

But he crossed when his vehicle passed by. Ellard was stuck in the middle of the road with many vehicles passing by. He looked dazed as he pulled the hood of his jacket.

"Please!" he screamed with a worried face.

Cleo who saw that of course ran to the middle of the road, bringing Ellard back to the side of the road.

"You okay? Wait, you're the one who was? You're okay, right?" ask Cleo.

"Yes. Thank you, you helped me. But, there's something strange here" Ellard said, holding his chin.

Cleo smiled slightly. He knew what Ellard was thinking.

"I'm a member of the Alicon organization. My name is Cleo, greetings." He reached out a hand that Ellard immediately replied to.

"My name, Rio. Greetings," he said with a smile.

"I've heard the name of the organization. Well, you know. I admire that organization. Can we be friends?" Ellard looks enthusiastic. Cleo smiled as she nodded her head.

"remarkable. I met with the members of Alicon." Ellard, or Rio look very happy. She hugged Cleo.

However, Ellard secretly placed something behind Cleo's back with a thin grin on her lips.

'This is gonna be interesting. I'll move behind the scenes from now on.'
