"Geez, you brought all these thick books alone?" The man crouched down to pick it up.
"Eh, yes," he said as he squatted down to clean up the books he had to take to the warehouse.
"Let me help to tidy it up" said the man.
"Thank you" said Nero. The man began to be busy helping Nero to clear all the books on the ground then piled them into one. "It looks like you're tired, until you hit me."
"Ah no. I'm fine."
"You better rest first. Sit here, I'll help you to bring the books," the man walked up to the bench and put the books he was carrying there.
"No need, I have to hurry."
"Just calm down, I'll help you get all the books done. Better now you sit down and rest first, and I happen to have a drink. You want?" The man handed him a bottle of water he was carrying.
"Take it," he said again. Nero then grabbed a drink in the man's hand and sat right next to him.
"You have to drink a lot so you can be more powerful" said the man, who opened his bottle and gulped. Nero helped open the bottle that was in his grasp and then looked at him for a moment before drinking it. The bottle in his grasp seemed foreign in his view. He had never seen such a drink before.
"You why?" Ask the man who made Nero turn to him.
"Oh no. I just don't think I've ever seen a drink like this."
"Of course, because this drink is the one I make and I produce."
"Oh, that's how it looks."
"Try, after all, this is delicious and can increase your stamina."
"All right let me try" answered Nero, who then drank the bottle. The man beside him stared fixedly at Nero, next to the corner of his lips raised into a smirk.
When Nero's lips came into contact with the lip of the bottle, Nero could clearly smell a unique aroma coming out of the drink.
"Hows it? Yummy?" The man asked, looking at Nero.
"Yes. Feels en…"
A BRUUKKK!!!
Nero had not yet finished his sentence, the man had already fallen to the ground in a state of unconsciousness.
The white man stood up smiling, his hands folded neatly in front of his chest. His eyes looked at Nero down there who was unconscious.
"I told you it was easy" he muttered, crouched down to look at Nero's face and turned his attention to his cell phone, asking his men to take him from there.

"Rey! Rei! Rey!" Suddenly the voice made Rei stop at his place making Elvina and William come to a stop and stand right beside him.
"What's Rei?" Elvina asked looking at him with a confused look on her face.
"Deans. It looks like they've met those people" he said.
"really? So what do we do now?" William said.
"really. We can't just stay quiet! We have to help them Rei!" Elvina.
"I know."
"Good God where are you Rei! We need your help!" Again, Rei can hear if Dean is there trying to ask for help on himself and his two cousins.
"We should be— soon"
SRAKKKKP…
Dean stopped his steps spontaneously as they arrived at the end of the dead end. Finding Dean who stopped suddenly, spontaneously made his other friends also stop.
"Damn! What do we do now?" Taz.
"We can't go anywhere anymore" Vicenzo chimed in.
DRAPU! DRAPU!
Some of the men stopped right behind them. Dean and his three friends turned around.
Rei's words instantly came to a halt when suddenly his ability to catch a flash where Dean was trapped in a dead end.
"You okay?" Elvina made sure, in her barrow slightly shoulder the man who became her cousin, trying to make her aware.
Rei instantly opened his eyes and looked towards his two cousins there.
"Yes, I'm fine," he said later.
"What do you see?" Ask William.
"I saw they were completely cornered and there was no way out. If they fight him they'll get caught."
"Then we must act immediately! Hurry up and we go down there and save them. They're the only way we can find our way to where this all started!" Elvina.
"Yes, you're right. Especially Dean. The key is on him. He's the only one who can lead us to a place where we can help Rei, Elvina and William from another dimension."
"really. And this is the only way we can help ourselves get this all done!"
"Then let's hurry!"
"Come on!" William was about to move before Rei suddenly fell silent in place, making them spontaneously look at him in confusion.
"You have to drink a lot so you can be more powerful" said the man, who opened his bottle and gulped. Nero helped open the bottle that was in his grasp and then looked at him for a moment before drinking it. The bottle in his grasp seemed foreign in his view. He had never seen the bottle before.
"You why?" Ask the man who made Nero turn to him.
"Oh no. I just don't think I've ever seen a drink like this."
"Of course, because this drink is the one I make and I produce."
"Oh, that's how it looks."
"Try, after all, this is delicious and can increase your stamina."

"Yes. Feels en…"
A BRUUKKK!!!
Nero had not yet finished his sentence, the man had already fallen to the ground in a state of unconsciousness.
The white man stood up smiling, his hands folded neatly in front of his chest. His eyes looked at Nero below me who was unconscious.
"I've said it's easy" he muttered, squatting down to look at Nero's face and then turned his attention to his phone, asking his men to take him from there.
Again Rei saw a flash that had just happened. He then opened his eyes spontaneously and looked at his two cousins with a wide-eyed look.
"You why?"
"What do you see?" Ask William.
"Nero's in danger!"
