"Can you ensure the HQ remains secure in our absence?" Ren inquired.
Alice's grin was practically radiant. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
"Good, I'll entrust the HQ to you then. Don't hesitate to take extreme measures if trouble arises."
Alice's grin only grew wider, her eyes gleaming with an eerie excitement. "Consider it done."
"Ren, where are you headed?" Leonel's curiosity prompted the question as Ren stepped outside.
"To make a statement," was Ren's succinct response.
Both Leonel and Alice exchanged glances before joining Ren out.
Upon opening the door, Ren was met with the sight of numerous players gathered outside –– roughly more than twenty of them.
"It's Ren."
"What?"
"It's the leader of World Conqueror."
"His that Ren?"
"Do you think he's the Ren in the cloak?"
"Who cares if he is or not? He is the prime suspect and the bounty in his head will set you for life."
