"Stop it please, I beg you".
Alouis stared at her alongside every member of the group.
"Jane...?".
"Please". She muttered softly.
"Fad might be a bit of a trouble child, but trust me we didn't want it to go like this". Sen added.
"Fad...?". Sally whispered.
"Oh yes, Fad Cad is the name of our leader here". Sen introduced.
"Ha!, Fad Cad..?!, what a stupid name, hahaha!". Sally laughed pointing at Fad as Fad frowned.
"It's just an alias".
"So what's your real name?". She asked.
"Maybe Tu Tu or is it Cad Cad". She pointed to Fad and kept on laughing.
"You're stupid". He muttered.
"What'd you just say.....
She paused and went silent as they watched Alouis walk over towards the couch.
"Alouis...?". Everling muttered.
"What?". He shrugged.
"You heard the lady and I'm tired anyways".
"Did he just say he's tired?". Taylia blinked.
"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I heard you say that in this lifetime ". Sally ran after him and whacked him on the head.
"Ouch! don't hit me". Alouis complained.
"Oh dammit!, it's stuck". Alouis muttered as he held the Vyalme in his hands.
Vyalme is the name of the special gun Alouis used which originated from his glasses.
(Yeah, he names all of his things).
"Aww, now how'll your chicken eyes survive". Instant sarcasm from Sally.
"Y'know those were nonprescription glasses to begin with, and I'm not broke like you I can always get new ones or make more Vyalmes". Alouis stared at her like a fool.
"I'm not broke,....but wait!, you don't need glasses?!". Sally said eyes widened.
"Of course I don't, who didn't already know that". Alouis sighed.
"You're super dumb".
"Ha". Sally scoffed.
"I already knew". She muttered.
After that, they are reached a meeting point for a while at least.
"So let me get this straight, a pictures missing, you think demons are involved, and then you also think Alouis is one of the demons involved because of the information you got from a certain someone". Sally spoke after Fad explained
"That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard and trust me I've heard a lot of dumb things". Everling stated coldly, she still had a bone to pick with him for targeting Alouis.
"I'm really sorry again". Fad bowed down and apologized.
"It's just that I got my info from a very reliable source, no not reliable, let me rephrase, I got the info from someone who has no reason to lie to me".
"Who's that?". Everling questioned.
"You must have heard of him, the heir to the Cain empire, Xavier Cain". Fad answered.
Alouis flinched for a second but who didn't catch sight of that was either blind or not observant.
"You know him?". Sen asked.
"Nah, never even met him". Alouis shook his head.
"But you never buy stuff from Cain's empire, I thought you two had bad blood or something?".
"What, why would I have bad blood with an heir, that's just nonsense". Alouis waved his hand around.
"I don't just shop from Cain's empire cuz I don't like their products that very much".
"I see". Sen muttered.
*He doesn't believe you*. Kai said.
*I know, what's that bastard Xavier up to anyway*. Alouis frowned inwardly.
"Anyways, he said a demon's eyes turns red when they're angered, that's why I tried to anger you". Fad explained.
*Is that true?*. Alouis asked Kai.
*Yeah, but not all though, and it's not more than a sec*. Kai answered.
"And you really can't blame me, after I saw you at that restroom, blood pouring out from your mouth, eyes and nose, I was bound to be curious". Fad added pointing at Alouis with a weird smile.
"You, you're not normal, are you?".
'Whack'. Instantly Sen whacked his head.
"Ack!, what'd you hit me for". Fad looked at him with a frown.
"Don't irritate the poor boy with your weird expressions". He turned to Alouis while fad pouted like a little kid.
"Very sorry, Alouis ".
"Wait something like that happened to you, are you alright?". Lucian asked Alouis.
"Yeah, ju...
"Are you terminally ill?!, is it hereditary?!, will you die in a few weeks?!, am I in your will?!". Sally jumped on him asking while checking his body.
"Hahaha very funny, get off me". Alouis shoved her aside.
"But I'm being serious, you must make a fortune selling those". She pointed at the Vyalme.
"I don't sell them". Alouis retorted.
"Then you must have a fortune to even make them, those materials must be really expensive, and the gifts you buy for us or even your personal items are top notch, not to talk of your med...
Alouis put a hand over her mouth.
"I'm not dying anytime soon, just had a little problem but I've already solved that". He said.
"What a shame!". She sighed.
"Stupid ". Alouis rolled his eyes.
"They're not dating, they're just cat and dog ".
"Oh I see, how'd you know that's what I was wondering ". Jane smiled at Taylia.
"It was written all over your face ".
"Back on more important matters, since Alouis is not a demon, your theory's wrong, what do you plan to do?". Varian finally spoke.
"The painting in question is by Fredo Santana, a very famous artist, and is worth a fortune, but it's not on social media ". Lucian said.
"Yeah, it's confidential from the public, the risk of demons being involved can never be made public ". Jane explained.
"So my thoughts are correct, if I'm not mistaken, you're Jane Toila, the daughter of Maron Toila, the owner of many seaports across Zarine and Xychozax, also an important official in Zarine politics". He pointed at Jane.
"Then you are Sen Ran, the ruler of Fillia".
"Fillia in Xychozax..?, how come I didn't recognize him". Sally muttered.
"Cuz you're dumb". Alouis said loudly.
"God, you're annoying".
"While you're supposedly Fad Cad the military ruler of Zarine".
"Supposedly?". Fad stared at him.
"While your face has never been made public, your real looks I mean, you normally wear masks". Lucian explained.
"That is true". Fad nodded.
"So no one else knows you look like this?". Sally asked.
"Exactly, except from the people in this room".
"Why would you officials foolishly reveal yourselves to us mercenaries, even if Alouis came alone, and your theory was proven wrong, would you just expose your real self to a random person". Varian spoke again.
"You have a backup plan right..?". He asked.
