Hey, you're not taking them?

A postal worker will be here at 7 to receive them.

If he doesn't get them... you'll regret it.

There's three hours until 7.

So in three hours, I'll be free from this business forever, huh?

Episode 4: Servant of the King

Wow.

It's been squished flat.

Do buildings really collapse like this?

Not normally, no.

An earthquake would've damaged the surrounding areas.

So, was anyone injured?

The station was new.

Not many people were here.

I'm glad.

Bloodstains.

This is where Raymond was standing.

How can you tell, when there's just rubble everywhere?

We can't.

But there are those who can.

They can use a certain type of power to recreate things as they were then.

Who are you talking to?

Someone I know.

Can you see?

Just fine.

Norma told me what I'm supposed to do.

Follow the route that Raymond did.

I'll recreate things as they were then.

Nono-senpai...

Should I say hi?

Who's that next to you?

How does she know I'm here when I'm not on camera?

Lu Mingfei. He's taking the lead on this mission.

Tell him to back off.

If he's nearby, it'll throw me off.

Step away, please.

Roger.

She doesn't seem the slightest bit interested in celebrating my birthday.

Let's get started.

Raymond arrived at the southern entrance to the station, carrying the documents.

He looked at the board to confirm his location.

Keep going. The platform's on the second floor.

Stop there.

Are there footprints on the ground?

Lots of them.

Yes... There's a leak in the ceiling.

You can see another set of footprints because he was already being followed.

He kept walking, then stopped and turned around.

Checking your surroundings is standard procedure at the college.

It'd become a habit for him.

He confirmed that nothing unusual was going on,

then advanced 15 meters and arrived at the turnstiles.

Stop there!

He looked around again...

He saw nothing, so he headed for the platform...

And the station started to collapse.

Earthquake!

He died near a bench.

Why didn't he hide under it?

Because disaster struck before he could get there.

This is my conclusion: The documents disappeared just minutes after his death.

How can you be sure?

Because of the footprints in the blood.

That only happened because they stepped in it shortly after he was wounded.

There are others, but that's the closest to Raymond.

We know from the footprints that they were panicking.

So it wasn't someone who went through harsh training.

They probably fled through the closest exit.

Which means the one on the right.

Their car had a powerful engine.

The tires were soft from the high temperature.

They slammed on the accelerator, which left those tire marks.

You can figure out the rest without me, right?

Thank you.

Oh, and one more thing, just in case.

I think there was someone else there.

They were watching up to the point where Raymond died, and the document was stolen.

The thief saw them too.

The reason the footsteps in the blood suddenly change direction

is that something caught their eye.

Was it just one person...?

Can you see them?

Nope.

I just felt the presence of someone watching when I was stitching together the images.

Got it. Thanks.

Bye.

Senpai!

Were you able to see it?

Most of it.

We'll be able to deal with this tonight.

That's a relief.

You're not used to this, so I'll come up with the plan.

Meet me at the Runde Towers at 7:25. Will that work?

Yes, of course. With you in charge, I don't have to worry about a thing!

Gotcha!

Answer me.

What happened between you and Dragon Emperor Norton

that day at the bottom of the dam?

How are you alive after being so badly hurt?

I can't tell you...

Continue.

Nono! Nono!

Nono!

Nono!

Don't die on me!

Ricardo...

Hey, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Sorry.

I was just messing around.

I don't feel well. I'll be in the sauna.

Hey, did you know today's Lu Mingfei's birthday?

Did you send him a message?

I know that.

Lately... Nono seems different somehow...

The tire marks at the scene belonged to a large SUV.

I've compiled a list of owners of that specific model.

The most suspicious is "Millennium Labor Export Company".

Their office is registered at the Runde Towers.

Runde Towers

"Millennium Labor Export Company?"

I know the name. They're a Hunter-owned organization.

Yes. The head of the organization is Tang Wei.

The Hunters are spread out.

They come together to solve individual problems.

It's a complicated organization, with lots of exiles and thugs.

Their missions are always in the gray zone, neither clearly legal nor illegal.

They won't kill or commit arson, but they'll steal and rob, both people and graves.

And that's not all. Some of their work pertains to hybrids as well.

A small number of their members have dragon blood...

The attacker on a motorcycle we dealt with at the school

was a member of that organization.

Norton. The Dragon Emperor of Bronze and Flames.

Before he awakened as a Dragon Emperor, he was a Hunter at Golden York.

Back then, he was just a thug.

Until now, we've avoided any direct contact with them.

Other than that singular attack,

they've never threatened our interests outside of a few small struggles.

But things are different this time!

They stole the documents and killed their bearer, Raymond!

We have four hours until the deadline the committee set for the school.

We have little time to get them back.

We'll take direct action.

The committee's already taken action.

What?

Maybe they didn't think Chu Zihang was up for it.

They not only assigned Lu Mingfei, but the other members on this list for support.

Why send people like these as well?

All they can do is give orders. They don't know anything.

Providing support is useless.

Chu Zihang can't work with anyone.

He's completed all his missions alone.

Get in fast before the door closes!

Whew, I'm tired. What's for dinner?

Mingfei is chopping up carrots and green onions

and getting the sausage and bifun noodles ready.

Mingze, you like bifun noodles, right?

Stewed carrots and spare ribs, bifun spare rib soup and sausage.

I have salmon too, so I'll make your favorite, sushi.

Great!

You're so lazy.

You just got back?

Y-Yes!

Where have you been?

I told you to cook the sausages,

cut the carrots and green onions, and replace the toilet seat!

It's all done! All of it!

I'll just have to hope...

Don't fail me now, Chu Zihang!

All you do is play games all day.

I told you we're having a party to celebrate Mingze's exchange program.

And how are we supposed to do that if you haven't done the prep?

I'm gonna take a good look at your work.

And if you've been slacking, you're gonna get it.

Of course...

Chu Zihang! I can count on you, right?

Where are the carrots and green onions you were supposed to cut?

We'll be using them right away...

T-Thieves!

Who are these guys? They're thieves, right?

Please don't kill us! We don't have any money!

The money's in the drawer! Don't kill us!

An honor to meet you, Commander Lu!

You're the support team from the college?

Thanks for coming!

We have completed all the tasks Chu Zihang assigned to us.

Please confirm.

Okay. Thanks, guys.

As for the toilet lid, it was an older-type,

so we took the liberty of replacing it with the latest model AI toilet.

It has 4000 functions. We also replaced all the plumbing.

Of course, if you prefer the original, we'll immediately replace it.

It's fine... It's wonderful.

AI toilet...?

How do you use it?

I-I don't know.

For our next report, come to the living room.

We didn't know what kind of sausage you wanted, so we prepared three types.

Salt. Soy sauce. Mildly spicy.

Did you have to go that far?

It looks so good...

As for the carrots and green onions,

they're all here.

You didn't need to cut them all...

That's too many green onions to make a sauce...

There was no mention of any sauce.

Cooking isn't our specialty.

This concludes our report.

If there's anything else, please tell us.

Oh, it's fine.

Thank you.

Excuse us, then.

A car is waiting for you below, so we'll take you to your next mission location.

I'll be there as soon as I change.

Roger.

Thanks!

Lu Mingfei!

Making those weirdos do your chores...

Are you trying to show off or something?

No, uh...

A special forces team that cuts carrots and onions?

If that's not showing off, what is it?

I just...

You did this on purpose, knowing we were celebrating Mingze's exchange program!

You just wanted to show off how much better you are!

I did not...

That's enough...

I see... She and I just view things differently.

In her world, I'm just a mean jerk.

I made fun of Mingze, and got a foreign professor to like me.

She thought I was going to stay a loser my whole life.

That my whole life I'd just be the weirdo in the corner.

I never should've raised you!

She bought that for Mingze?

But it's my birthday too...

I've never had a birthday cake just for me.

I have a reservation for two.

Your dinner with Chen Wenwen will begin at 6:30.

I'm supposed to have a mission this evening.

Are we really going to dinner?

That's what Chu Zihang told me.

First, please go to Aspasia and eat.

You'll have 40 minutes.

When it's time, I'll take you to the Runde Towers.

But Senpai never said...

Chen Wenwen...

Did he set this up because it's my birthday?

I think I understand why I'm such a wimp around my aunt.

It's because that ordinary apartment feels like a home...

Unlike the rest of the students at the college, I don't like being alone.

I want a home to go back to, like a normal person.

But if I choose to go to Cassel College and keep up what I'm doing there,

I'll be cut off from my old life.

Just going forward will mean I can't go back to the normal model.

The Runde Towers are divided into two towers: A and B.

Our target this time is Floor 21 in Tower A.

The documents should be there.

Security in the building is extremely tight.

The company that owns it has given security over to the Hunters,

so they've got complete control.

The police will be there ten minutes after we arrive.

And they'll hide the documents somewhere else.

Ten minutes?

Will the elevator get there fast enough?

The elevator only gets them halfway.

They'll head to the 21st floor directly afterwards.

Did you read the mission plan?

It's a low-difficulty mission, so I'll do it myself.

Support will just make us stand out more.

Your orders are absolute.

Meet them at the entrance to Tower B shortly.

Roger.

Why aren't they here yet?

Hey, are there any deliverymen in Tower A?

No.

Damn it. What about the mall in Tower B?

Closed today, per your orders.

Only guards inside.

Good.

I hate this awful weather...

I'll take a look at the Hunter site...

New Mail

A new message?

"Bye-bye."

Does bye-bye mean...

They don't need me anymore?

Thanks.

Lake Park 1

Seriously? This place looks expensive.

Welcome. Ricardo M. Lu, yes?

Yes.

You have the place to yourselves this evening.

Thanks.

We've shown your guest to the second floor.

Lu Mingfei.

Hey.

Runde Towers

Chu Zihang.

We're ready.

When do we start?

We've got a three-minute buffer.

Orders will come later from Professor Webber directly.

Move the truck. It stands out.

Roger.

I'll head in first.

Wait. The mall's closed today.

I'm a deliveryman.

I have flowers for Tower B, room 906.

Boss, there's a delivery for B-906.

906?

Oh, they open tomorrow.

They're an important client.

It's just him?

Yes.

Keep an eye on him with the cameras.

Don't let anyone into Tower A!

Roger.

He's not the one I was waiting for.

I'm in Tower B.

Good.

While the five of them are all keeping the guards occupied on the first floor,

take the connecting bridge to Tower A.

Roger.

Begin the mission.

How've you been lately?

I've been good. What about you? It has to be hard to be overseas.

I'm getting by.

Oh, excuse me.

Mission Has Begun

"Mission Has Begun?"

Meet me at the Runde Towers at 7:25. Will that work?

It's not 7:25?

Since it's my birthday, Senpai...

Is something wrong?

Sorry, something came up. I have to go!

Where are you going?

The bill's been paid!

Senpai...

I'll be there soon. Just wait!

Listen. On that day, my parents...

Scum.

Tower B has been attacked!

Deal with them now! Don't let them into Tower A!

Hurry!

Right!

Attention all guards! Hurry to Floor 1!

Let's go!

Hurry!

Sorry, but you're not going anywhere.

There he is!

Hurry!

Don't let him get away!

You're not getting through.

Who are these guys?

How'd they get inside?

Boss, what do we do?

We've lost a bunch of guys already!

What's your position?

I'm crossing the bridge.

Tower A's guards are at their stations.

Take them out quickly and get the documents within 7 minutes!

Roger.

I'm inside Tower A.

Head to Floor 21.

The documents are there.
