Erik sat on a chair, a sense of satisfaction filling him as he looked at the man in front of him giving him a defiant but amusing look.

Momentum was there, watching Erik's face as the man smirked. No one was saying anything, and they had been there for 10 minutes already.

It had not been hard to persuade Silent Scream to grant him and Brute Ape two days of leave after the attack on the blackguards' building.

Of course, that required a little bit of nudging from Erik's part, who, using his instability brain crystal power, made him inclined to agree to the leave request.

Brute Ape and Savage Blood were the only survivors from their team and needed some respite, after all.

Of course, Erik wasn't physically or psychologically scarred or injured by what happened. Instead, he felt like a kid on Christmas Eve, waiting to unwrap the gifts his parents had brought him.

In this case, the tree was his own sweat, and the gift were three blackguards' high-ranking officers. Enforcers were four ranks under the highest possible rank among the blackguards, the Justicar.

Justicar. Even the name itself was ironic considering what the blackguards really did.

<A name fitting for a justice organization, but so unsightly for these pricks... What a bad taste! In truth, the young man was reading Momentum's mind. He was just curious to see what the guy was thinking now that he had been taken prisoner.

<I guess this is the first time Momentum get through something like this. If it wasn't for the attack at the enlistment centre, he might have been the first blackguard to have ever been kidnapped.>

Unsurprisingly, the man knew there was no way for him to flee, not with Erik Romano in the same room and not with those white-dressed demons that already thwarted a previous attempt at getting the hell out of where he was.

Erik wore a smirk on his face, but after he had enough of reading the man's mind, he decided it was time to start the real show.

"You have two options," Erik said. "Either you tell me what I want to know, and I'll make sure you're treated accordingly, or refuse, and I will make sure you will wish to talk to me. I can't promise I will be around when you are ready, though."

The Blackguard shrugged. "Ha! I thought you would have more convincing words to use or some weird, twisted, or mysterious means to make me talk; instead, the great Erik Romano wants to resort to torture. How typical and honestly disappointing twist. "

At those words, Erik smiled even more. The grin on his face morphed from a flat line to a first- quarter moon. The side of his lips was almost physically having a party with Erik's eyes.

"Let's start with a simple question. What's your name?"

It was Momentum's turn to smile at that point. "Are you stupid?"

<Birth name: Marcus Turner, Codename: Momentum. Boring name.>

"I heard something interesting about you, Momentum. It looks like you are considered a big shot within the blackguards. The youngest man to reach the Enforcer rank in over a hundred years. Pretty impressive."

"Well, thanks for that. I put in a lot of effort." Momentum said nothing else.

"So, I heard you got sent here after your failure at Caelora City. It was a sort of punishment for having failed the mission."

"I have to thank you for that. Not only did you escape, but you also killed Flexblade, Quakestrike, and Reflectra. It was kind of you." A murderous look appeared on the man's face.

"Oh, my! Thanks for having noticed that! It was pretty fun. But that's not important. I heard you were sent here to mentor a particular team. Its identification number should be Team 89, led by a guy called Dark Tendrils."

"I know nothing of such a team."

"Oh, lying until the end, uh?" But Erik read Momentum's mind. The rumours circulating were true because, behind Zakir's team, there was indeed Momentum.

However, that wasn't all. According to Momentum's memories, Zakir was also present in Caelora City. He was among those who attended the meeting that took place after Erik killed Max.

Of course, that was the first time Erik heard about such a meeting, but it was obvious something like that must have happened, considering what Erik did back then.

Dark Tendrils, no Zakir Nguyen, was there within the city because he fought against Erik in the past, and the blackguards hoped he would know ways to fight against him.

The problem was that Zakir fought Erik when he still had his sharpening power, an ability he got rid of by merging it. Besides, Erik improved and learned a lot during this time, especially combat wise. The 16 years old and the almost 19 years old Erik were two different people. So, Zakir had been basically useless in that situation.

However, he behaved arrogantly and insufferably the whole time. Momentum didn't like him a bit, and when he got told he had to babysit the guy, who was strong but with some problems, well... he wasn't happy.

What Erik found funny, though, was that Zakir was considered 'Slightly out of his mind' even by the blackguards, and they had pretty nasty and unhinged members among their ranks.

But that was something Erik didn't really care about.

"Now, I wanted to ask you this. Dark Tendrils reported to you, but where does he stay? What barracks has he been assigned to? Where can I find him?"

"I don't know who this team 89 or Dark Tendrils is."

But Momentum's no Marcus' thoughts told Erik everything he needed to know. Barracks 5.

Erik had to suppress the urge to grin this time because he didn't want Momentum to suspect he could read his mind.

Of course, Erik planned to say it to him just because he wanted to see the man's face change after he realized he had unwillingly answered all of Erik's questions.
