Yuzuki was laying on the bed, patiently waiting, when his phone suddenly rang. He checked the dial and saw that it was Milluki. Without hesitation, he answered immediately.
Instantly, Milluki said, "I have sent the list for you on your email."
Yuzuki's eyes widened. "So fast?" he exclaimed. He knew Yuzuki was good, but was this not too fast. That did not even take 5 minutes.
"Of course," Milluki replied casually to Yuzuki's exclamation. "What did you expect? I'm the best there is in this business." he added.
"Indeed you are. Thank you," Yuzuki said, his tone calm but impressed. Then he added, "Wait a moment, let me check the list out."
He hung up and then went over to his hurriedly set-up study. It was just a simple table with his laptop resting on it. He had set it up in the hotel when he arrived the night before.
Speaking of the Hotel. It was called The Aureum Grand. It was a towering marvel in the heart of Yorknew City. Emma had picked it, and oh my goodness was it luxury.
Yuzuki had never been in such a high end Hotel before, even in his past life. Being rich really was good. Yuzuki had booked the Presidential suit for his first time experiencing life. He wanted it to be special. It cost ₩400 thousand Jenny a night.
Back to the story. Yuzuki opened the laptop and navigated to his emails.
And there it was. The first email. He clicked it, opened the attached document, waited for it to load, and the list hit him.

Yuzuki read through the list, a small smile forming on his face. "As expected of Milluki. So detailed… I wasn't even expecting him to lay out their abilities."
"But what was it with those nicknames." Yuzuki muttered his eye twitching. "How are these people okay with them. If someone nicknamed me Crowbeak or Lockjaw id kill them to make sure that name never made it out."
He then picked up his phone and called Milluki back.
"Well, you got it," Milluki answered immediately.
"I… I'm impressed by your work, Milluki," Yuzuki said sincerely.
"I do not care for compliments," Milluki replied bluntly. "Send me my ₩100 million Jenny."
Yuzuki's eye twitched. "Milluki… can we not talk about the price a little?"
Even for Yuzuki, a billionaire. Handing over ₩100 million Jenny in one go still stung.
Milluki shouted, "No! My price is 100 million, it's 100 million! It's not changing!"
Yuzuki sighed. "Fine, don't shout like that, it's hurting my ear."
Milluki calmed down and said, "You have my account. If that's all, I'll be hanging up."
"Wait," Yuzuki interrupted. "Is it possible for you to track down anyone on the list who's closest to me?"
Milluki replied, "Yuzuki, I'm an information gatherer, not a tracker."
Yuzuki smirked slightly. "But I know you can find out for me though."
Milluki sighed. "Fine, but I'll be taking a percentage from the hit since it's even more work for me."
"2 percent," Yuzuki said firmly.
"5 percent," Milluki countered.
"2.5 percent, that's as high as I go," Yuzuki stated.
Milluki thought for a moment, then said, "Fine. Give me a moment."
Yuzuki smiled. "Take all the time you need."
Milluki hung up. Yuzuki waited patiently. Ten minutes later, the phone rang again. Seeing it was Milluki, he answered.
"I've found one," Milluki said.
Yuzuki's eyes widened slightly. "Again? You work way too quick Milluki."
"The internet is my domain," Milluki replied with a smug. "Nothing can escape my eye. As long as you leave a trace, I'll find you."
Yuzuki chuckled. "Trust me, I believe you. Well, talk to me."
Milluki continued, "The name is Taro 'Windslash' Kime."
Yuzuki let out a little laugh before composing himself.
Milluki paused for a moment, then asked, "What's so funny?"
"Nothing," Yuzuki said, smiling. "It's just that their nicknames really are so ridiculous."
Milluki paused, then he laughed as well. "They really are ridiculous aren't they."
Yuzuki now fully laughed. "Like really. Windslash, what kind of ridiculousness is that?"
Milluki chuckled. "What about Crowbeak? I'd kill everyone who knew that nickname so it never came out."
Yuzuki laughed again. "No way, Milluki, I said the same thing."
"Yuzuki," Milluki said, "I had no idea I could find the same things you find funny, funny as well."
"Indeed," Yuzuki replied. "Maybe this little bond can make you lower the price."
Milluki instantly switched his laughter off. "Forget it."
Yuzuki sighed. "Well, I had to try, you cannot blame me."
Milluki said, "Back to business. I have found the location of Taro. He is in a city named Draymoor. It's located in the Republic of East Gorteau so you do not have to travel to a different country. It is a lawless district-city known for gambling, black markets, prostitution and underground fighting arenas. It usually attracts hunters and criminals alike."
Yuzuki thought for a moment. Draymoor… this is a name that was not mentioned in the manga. Something new, finally.
Yuzuki then said aloud, "But this Taro is really trying not to hide, isn't he? How cliché can you get?"
Milluki replied, "He must be confident in his own ability to fend off pursuers."
Yuzuki smiled. "Well, he better be… because he is about to get hunted."
