Shadow Agent
Is this really what you want?

"Sooner or later, they will come. Get into this base to destroy everything we've planned. They want the freedom they have dreamed of. But... We can't just let that happen, can we?" Tanya Thory who was casually sitting on the table while but a black rose in her hand.

At his side, Avren just stared flat, then took a glass of coffee served and sipped her slowly, enjoying the taste and aroma of the coffee. "My real weapon is you. But you sure you're ready?"

Thory chuckles. "Of course I'm ready. Been a long time... I want to destroy them all. Take it easy, I have handled two of them. Now just have to focus on them."

Given that Farel and Naru had already managed to defeat him easily, now there was no need to worry about the two people.

"Then, why don't you just destroy it now? Why do you even wait for them to come here themselves? Wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Thory looked at the eyes of the orange Aven who was staring back at her with a question mark. "Because it's more exciting, isn't it? They themselves are coming to death. They don't know... What we prepared, is ready now."

Thory laughed cruelly. Her emerald green iris eyes were sparkling, along with a wide, fluffy smile, it made her look terrible.

Thory looked back at Avren who was still enjoying his coffee. "Didn't that? If all this works out, you can take control of Delaria City and destroy those fucking people." Continue Thory. His smile still did not fade from his face. Hints of cruelty like the devil.

Avren himself said nothing. What Thory said is not wrong. They will get it all if they succeed. Achieve his initial goal of giving that person a lesson. Why would he doubt?

Avren put down his coffee cup. He sighed for a moment and turned his head, looking out the window. "Just destroy one barrier, and it will be absolutely powerful... Don't you?"

But...

'Is that really what you want?'

"Hey, looks like they've come! Let's welcome them!" Thory exclaimed cheerfully, making Avren a little surprised.

"You guys. I'll just wait here." Avren.

Thory puffed her cheeks, the style of a child who was sulking. "Basar old man. Okay..." Teach him and go away.

An imaginary crossroad appeared on Avren's forehead when he heard the word. "I told you, don't call me old man, you little boy!" Avren was upset. Meanwhile, Thory just laughed while sticking out her tongue.

The door of the room closed again, leaving only one in the room. Avren got up from his seat and stepped towards the window, looking out, watching the blue sky that stretched across the sky.

Again he breathed. He should be excited for today, but... I don't know why there are other feelings that bother him.

"Tsk! It sucks!" Avren clenched his fists firmly, trying to dispel that feeling and return to his ultimate goal.

His moving eyes looked at the courtyard outside the Dark Devil headquarters. Strategic location to be made the headquarters of the mafia. Not many people will be here.

However, his eyes caught the object which made him slightly frown. What Thory said was right, they've come.

Avren sees Revan and his friend's friend starting to enter. Even among them there are people who had run away from the headquarters first.

So they teamed up to destroy the Dark Devil apparently...

Last time, their abilities might still not have been too strong. But that was years ago. He was sure, now the child had grown stronger.

But one thing caught his attention. Himaki's whereabouts were also with them. "You've decided to take your own path..." Her muttering.

Actually from the beginning Avren had known about the doubts Himaki felt. Given his past, he had expected Himaki to be betrayed someday.

And it turns out that it was true.

*******

"If it was Avren, right now he must be in his room. We just go straight there?" Eden asked his other partner.

"Just go ahead and hope we don't meet Thory now." Reply Himaki. He was worried that if they met Thory, they could not cope.

Now Eden, Sein and Himaki are heading to the Aven room, to instantly defeat him.

Just need to defeat her, and their task will be completed. But... Given Avren's abilities, it doesn't feel that easy.

During the trip, they had briefly met several other members of the Dark Devil. Fortunately, they managed to defeat it easily. In anticipation of not spending too much energy to overcome the subordinates of Aven, Eden deliberately manipulated the CCTV footage, and with the help of Himaki they could get away easily from people passing by.

Until they finally arrived in front of Avren's room. Eden took a deep breath and pulled the doorknob, then opened it.

Inside, Avren was sitting looking out the window. But what makes them surprised is, a large-sized bomb that is near him.

Are you planning to blow them all up? What is Avren planning to do?

"Yo~ has arrived apparently. Turns out fast too. I thought you were stopped by my men first." Sapa Avren relaxed while smilingly looking at them.

Himaki clucked in annoyance. "What exactly are you planning? Want to blow us all up huh?!" Himaki asked annoyedly, looking at the bomb that was near the Aven.

"I guess so... But I won't use it right away. I don't want to die silly with my own homemade bomb."

If you don't want to directly use it, then what is the bomb for?

"You want to play us?" Ask Eden. "Have not seen you in a long time. But... Are you sure you're gonna use that? For revenge on those who ignored you?"

Deg.

Avren was silent hearing that. What did that young man really mean?

"For me a job as a beggar and scavenger is nobler than stealing or killing others. Are you sure revenge is the answer?" Ask Eden again.

Sein who heard that stared did not understand. What exactly are they planning? As far as they know?

Honestly it feels like being registered in a smart race meticulously without knowing anything.

Avren himself was silent. He knew exactly what Eden meant. But... How did they know?

"Damn. I don't know where you guys know all that. But... It does. My goal has been to get revenge. Destroy people like you who have no heart!"

Avren's hand moved to press the timer on the bomb. Time started running, 10 minutes before the bomb went off. A grin appeared on the man's face. He took a dagger from behind his jacket.

"I'll kill you all." He said and immediately stepped forward.

'Is this right, what you want?'

"Keep that voice out of my mind! I'll finish you all!"

Bet with time to defeat the Avren and turn off the time on the bomb. Of course it's not easy. They really had no idea what money Avren was planning. But clearly, they need to get this over with as soon as possible and defuse the bomb.
