"Customer! You obviously don't know how precious this could be in the outside world! It could even save your life during a crucial moment." The trader explained.

But David seem to be the unreasonable type as he immediately replied. "I will take it for 3,000 Gyno points."

"Customer! This is not a normal contraption! It's a ground breaking technology that can save all of humanity! Eighty thousand Gyno points. Last price."

David's eyes twitched as he heard that and he replied. "Is there a missile in there that can kill all the REB's?"

"Ehhh. Well, not y-"

"Then it's basically useless in here since we have clean water everywhere in this place. It's just as useful as a piece of decoration, that's all."

David continuously haggled with the trader. It was as though he had forgotten a while ago that he was in some sort of trouble.

Far off the distance, not too far away from the exit David had escaped from. A young man stood at the top of a tall building, gazing intently at the someone it something far off the distance.

His eyes were sharp and the yellow slit in his eyes widened to cover his entire eyes, just leaving a bit of whiteness at the edges.

He was the only one there though. Another man who in his late twenties but actually look quite physically young for his age was also standing there, seemingly watching the same thing as the young man standing a step behind him. But there was not a trace of the use of any ability present in his eyes. 

And from the looks of things, he seem to be able to see exactly what the young man was looking at with the use of his ability. 

They continued to watch on in silence and eventually he frowned, deactivated his ability in the process. The large yellow slit in his eyes retracted back to form a tiny line in his eyes. 

He then spoke respectfully to the man standing before him. "I don't think he is a member of the Dark Phantom Association."

The other man who was standing silently before him remained silent and continued to watch in before he too eventually removed his gaze and he tilted his he head to the side to ask the young man standing beside him. "What makes you think so?"

"It's actually really simple. If he truly is a member of the Dark Phantom Society, he would be worried about quickly escaping this particular district instead of haggling with a trader over a simple contraption." The young man explained. 

The other man who was in the front reminded silent and he returned his gaze to stare at the person far away. And true to what the young man had said, the person's face had turned red and was arguing bitterly with the trader for a simple contraption. 

The man then removed his gaze and then turned around to face the young man behind him. "How many did we capture this time?"

The young man expression darkened a bit and he said with a downcast expression. "We were only able to capture 21 members."

The man frowned and his eyes spewed out the annoyance he was feeling. "Why so little?"

"Sir, we tried our best. But the Dark Society seem to have gotten even more smarter and had opened numerous exit to escape capture. Even if there is more of us, there is no way we can safely secure all of the exit which was why we captured so little."

"Hmph! Do you know how much Gyno points I spent in mobilising this task force? And then the Informant? And now you are saying we only less than 10 percent of the Dark Phantom society? How the hell would I make up for the remaining losses?"

The man yelled at the young man which made the young man lower his head in fear.

"S-sir, we-"

"Shut the hell up for me!" The young man anger deem to be rising over the edge and the part of the roof he was standing on exploded into bits.

"You better pray we find out information from the ones we captured. Otherwise... " The man snorted and then with the blast of wind, he disappeared from his previous location.

The young face had long since turned pale but then, blood started coming back to his face. 

He had an ugly expression on his face and the slit in his eyes widened further as he gazed at David seemingly ignoring the distance between the two of them.

He would have left David be if the task master didn't have this sort of reaction but now, he needed to be sure that David truly wasn't among them but then even if David didn't know anything, capturing him would slightly ease the mind if the task master and his punishment might be reduced or even forgiven. 

The hard roof beneath his legs gave a slight crack as he also disappeared from his previous location. 

David's face was currently red he shouted. "Save the world my ass! I've seen plenty of gadgets that can purify large amounts radiation water to the purest and they don't even cost up to fifty thousand Gyno points! But you want to collect 60,000 Gyno points for a small contraption!? Isn't it just daylight robbery!?"

The trade was starting to get agitated as spit flee off his mouth. "I assure you that those ones are fake and moreover, they are to large to carry on one's body to any where in the world! Last price 50,000 Gyno points!"

David who was about to shoot another argument paused slightly and he tilted his head sideways without looking back.

His face all of a sudden calmed down as though he hadn't been arguing for the past ten minutes. "Deal."

The traders face grew even redder as he was prepared to shoot off another line of argument when he paused and blinked his eyes.

But he was very sharp and didn't even ask for a repeat to what David had said. He took out the contraption that was in the shape of a steel coin but more rounder and fatter and he handed it over to David.

While also opening up his interface.

David grabbed the bottle from his hands and then also opened his interface as he flickered his hands from his interface to the traders'

The trader smiled upon receiving the money and said to David. "It was nice doing business with you. Come some other time!"

But David had already gone far to respond. David placed the coin like contraption in his pocket as he continued to walk through the crowds.

A few minutes later, he reached through a quiet alley and the tap tap sound of his footsteps could be heard as he walked but then, it stopped.

David stopped in place and the alley returned quiet back to its previous soundless state. But that didn't last for long though.

Another set of taps resounded through the alley, coming from behind David. But this set of footsteps were heavier and stronger which seem to signify the strength hidden in that body.

The footstep then stopped a few hundred meters away from David.

"Why did you stop?" It was the voice of a young man but it seem cold to the ears as the owner directed the voice waves straight into David's ears.

David eyes narrowed and then he turned around, wearing a confused expression on his face. "Senior, I felt someone stalking me from behind and I came here to catch the person. I just didn't think it would be you."

"Oh, you recognise me." The young man was a bit surprised.

"Of course! Who doesn't know of the famous Jack Histon of the Enforcers department." David replied with an obvious look of appreciation and awe on his face.

Jack was a bit stunned by David's behaviour. He frowned a bit as David seem to be innocent. But still, he needed to show the task master something, anything at all. He was truly desperate at this time.

He cleared his throat as he replied to David. "It's good that you know me, which makes things a lot easier. See, we are looking to investigate a group of Dark Society members and we are not leaving a single stone uncovered."

"Which is what brings us to this present situation. You might seen something regarding people of those society, but not know about it which why i would like your cooperation to come with me for thorough investigation." Jack lied effortlessly through his teeth as he tried explained.

David replied with a frown. "Will it take long? Cause I need to get some sleep and wake up early for my classes."

"Of course not. Its just a 30 minutes questioning and you will be free to go." Jack explained, quelling down his rapidly increasing irritation he was feeling.

David then nodded. "Alright, let me inform my friends tha-" he wasn't even able to finish his words when Jack's anger erupted and he grabbed David forcefully by the shoulders. 

"You are coming with me."
