When watchdogs barks

The next day, right after breakfast, the couple separated ways. She went to the company while Jun went to check on detective Louise to find out if the officers found clues.

He knew that he would get nothing from them but he wanted to act like he was oblivious. Leonardo and his men were doing a good job and it was about time that Lucio Star would be handled.

Niko, on the other hand, who stayed low and act as if he wasn't doing anything, got the lead. Unfortunately, he couldn't start a war without the opponent igniting the light first. His men was clear in Julius being protected by someone. However, he did not know who the person behind him.

"now make sure this Lucio Star would be scared and...don't kill him. Jun doesn't want to spill blood," Leonardo said while facing three of his men.

He wanted to send just three men for today and if something goes wrong, he'll multiply it by 5 for back-up.

"boss, should we do the least of our ability? Just scare him off?" though it was not the first time Leonardo ordered them to scare a person and not kill them, they realized that his client meant something to him. Therefore, he was capable of having a weakness. Not that they would rebel anyway.

"something like that, and make sure he agrees and keep his words or else, I'll be the one to send regards to him in Hell," he wanted to keep his words which he gave to Jun last night. He promised that he wouldn't kill the old man and just scare him so that he wouldn't do it again.

However, if things go wrong, he was afraid he couldn't live up to his promise.

Lucio was seen walking in one of the dark streets in Heseafood, a town that belonged under district 3, the same district of Myanne.

"are you sure that's our target? He seems like a boomer,"

"there's only two Lucio Star in District 3 and the other one's dead," the other one who was taller than him, answered him in a matter of fact tone.

"lego," last man said while walking carefully.

"are you Lucio Star?"

The old man looked at him with nervous eyes but he remained calm and strong.

"yes, that's me, who are you?"

"ruler of Hell. Welcome to the club,"

The taller man punched Lucio's stomach while the other person grabbed his arms.

"what do you want from me?" he asked panicking.

"where is Julius?" he repeated himself before the man spoke up.

"I-I don't know. S-someone payed me and t-told me to release Julius or else I'll loose my family and die. I didn't want that to happen. I-I love my family,"

"I need concrete answers not some bullshits. Where is he?!"

"look for a man who's 6 foot tall, built, with a scar on his left cheek and had a groggy voice. I didn't catch up his name, only his appearance. He has a lot of tattoo on his left arm since his right arm was dismantled,"

"we'll let you go and if you try to put us in jail, you better get a lot of back up before I put you in Hell," the taller man threatened by deeply pushing his hand on his stomach.

"what he meant to say was, if you dare to arrest us, you won't see the light of day after that," the other one explained.

"I want to say thank you but you don't deserve it. Run along before we three end your life. Repent and continue to value your family in 1...2...hurry up...3...is that how you run?"

"and is that how you properly threaten someone?"

"yeah, he loves his family. I believe he wouldn't do it again. Well, if he does, we'll just end his life anyway,"

The other two agreed at him before they walked away from the area and tracked Lucio. The shortest man sent the details to their other members while the other two watched Lucio entering a medium sized house. He greeted his wife, kneeling in front of her before looking back and forth as if someone was spying on him.

"boss, we still don't have a lead on who's backing up Julius and the other team is having a hard time getting his location," his trusted assistant, not from the company but from his gang, reported to him.

"search district 3 and the neighboring districts " Niko ordered.

"copy that. And what about the man who helped him escape?"

"threaten him. He's not our problem,"

"okay boss," she softly muttered before ending the call.

She didn't like to disappoint her boss but they didn't have any lead. She left him unimpressed this time and she could understand that from the why he answered. She wanted to be the best assistant who could do any task smoothly but this Julius Kim was giving her a hard time.

She reminded herself that once she or her members find this guy, she would give him a tight punch on the jaw. She would torture him before actually killing him and the person who was behind all of this.

After a little while, the assistant gathered her members and announced it to everyone to split up the group to 7 and assigned themselves to search the 7 districts.

"I just hate searching the whole country, searching from district 1 - 7" she complained, resting her head on her own table before she started contacting the other members living in different districts.
