In an old town in Germany, a man in a black robe and wearing a headscarf walked through a deserted street. This place was almost uninhabited and was called a wasted city.
Yet this man walked with confident steps as if he knew where he was going. This person arrived at an old, run-down building with broken glass windows. This person stepped into this old building without any fear and kept walking until he found a bookcase.
Surprisingly, the furniture in this house was damaged and old, but this bookcase still looked good even though there were no books in it.
The room in this building was pitch black, and this man could barely see. He remembered the rule that said there should be no light in this place. Inevitably, this person used his hands to search for something in this bookcase.
As soon as he found something stuck, this person pulled the lever, and in an instant, the bookcase shifted to the left, revealing a tunnel.
This person marched into the tunnel, and the bookcase shifted back to its original position.
Without looking back, this person removed his hood and showed a dragon mask as he walked until someone in a black mask greeted him.
"Name."
"Kei." a deep voice like a man sounded from the direction of the dragon masked person.
"Passwords."
"Nerve breaking."
The doorman made no further comment and opened the door behind him to let Kei in.
Kei walked in and was presented by many people who were now selling illegally. Some sell military weapons, and some sell illegal drugs.
But Kei wasn't interested in what they were selling. He was more interested in the information he had been waiting for for ages. Kei walked through the crowd of masked people until he found a staircase leading to the second floor.
It was on the second floor that he would buy information with the information he had.
Arriving on the second floor, Kei walked towards one of the rooms with Ragnarok written on the door. He knocked on the door three times, and after getting an answer, Kei opened the door and went inside.
He saw a person in a red demon mask with two horns on either side, welcoming him.
"Kei! It's been a while. I thought you would never come back here."
"You said it took you three months to find what I wanted. I'm just waiting."
The person in the red demon mask gave a devilish chuckle and invited Kei to sit in front of him.
"You know, I wasted eight lives and ten million Euros to get the information you want. What information do you offer me in exchange?"
"Frontier Shadow."
Kei could see the pair of eyes behind the demon mask widen hearing that.
"Is that even real? I've heard a rumor about it, but I thought it was just a legend. Is it true that Frontier Shadow ever killed the president of the united states on Hades' orders?"
"…"
"This is very interesting."
"Who is he?" Kei didn't want to answer the person's question before he got the answer he wanted.
"It was challenging to open a case that has been buried for decades, but we have managed to find a name. Dario Gonzalez. That person was responsible for that woman's death."
"Wasn't Hades the one who killed that woman? What do you mean this person was in charge?"
"This is the best part. Gonzales planted the seeds of suspicion in Hades and provided false evidence that the man had betrayed him. Just as Hades was about to execute him, his sister came and received Hades' shot. You know, the woman's husband didn't accept the truth and wanted revenge for his wife's death."
"…" The woman's husband… isn't it…
"Unfortunately, no matter how much he hates Hades, he could never kill Hades or his family. You know, that guy was injected with the loyalty serum. But…" the demon masked person brought his body closer to Kei.
Even though Kei couldn't see what the person's expression behind the mask looked like, Kei could imagine an evil smirk on this person's face.
"He used other people's hands for revenge. I heard that one of Hades' daughters died in a plane crash."
Kei's hand clenched into fists hearing the last words of the owner of this Ragnarok room.
"I wanted to retrieve evidence that Dario Gonzales had sabotaged Hades' right-hand mission, but my men died in his hands. So I failed to get the proof. That is all I know. How about you? What do you know about Frontier Shadow?"
"…" Kei told him what this person wanted to know and let this person spread rumors of whatever he said.
After finishing his assignment, Kei decided to go back home. He took off his mask to reveal his beautiful face.
Kei was none other than Kaylee!
She used voice control to make her voice sound heavier and muskier like a man. After she put everything off, she received a text from her unregistered phone.
'They decided to make a move. We had to send Red.'
Kaylee's eyebrows rose as she read this.
Red?
Somehow… she felt her heart rumble just hearing this code name.

When Declan was leaving for Montana, Kaylee got Declan's black coat and made sure he had everything he needed without leaving anything behind.
"I'm not a kid."
"Who said you were a kid?" refuted Roxy while giving an amused smile. "You are my future husband, and it is the duty of a wife to serve her husband."
"Oh?" Declan showed a wide grin at his wife's proactive words. "I'd rather you serve me in the room." Declan wrapped his arms around Roxy's waist and pulled her closer until their bodies were pressed together.
Roxy gave a light punch on his shoulder. "You pervert. Let's go. Otherwise, you'll miss your flight."
"I don't want to go." Declan sulked, inviting amused laughter from Roxy. The man even lowered his head to steal a kiss from the girl, but Roxy turned her head to avoid him.
"Seriously. You're going to miss your flight."
"Nope. We have a lot of time. The plane could wait for me."
What?
Roxy didn't have time to argue because the man had carried her and brought her to the room.
