[Holvart Port Town]
With the dividing factor Kaido and the rest of the crew that will come along with him, stayed for three and did what they wanted to do
For example Kaido used his time to spend his time with Sui as he sometimes taught her how to stay calm and control her magic powers with Selery overlooking them
Sometimes he would choose to take a stroll around the town together with Sui who will be riding on his shoulders, for some time Ingrid can also be seen walking along side them while having conversations
Mostly when he stays at Selery's house, he would always be taken care of by Zia as the elf maid/ Sui's guardian, as she gave him for sometimes an orange juice together with Melfina who is hiding on the shadows
As they did this they would overlook Rebecca's training, as she continoues toaster the sword style of her ancestors which was suggested to her by her father, sometimes Kaido would instead take interest in her ancestral sword but since he's hiding a cursed sword in his storage, the two swords may instead clash against each other
For safety measures he decided to just admire the sword from far away
From time to time when Kaido was being this lack which is considered as rare, Sui together with the others like Ingrid and Sarah would gather up near Kaido as they also requested for a drink from Zia
Soon the once place where only Melfina and Kaido are being lack and lazy, was now instead filled with people who doesn't have anything to do left while they watched Rebecca
Since Rebecca was so focused on her training she didn't of course notice the crowd that was growing just at the open window back sliding door
**********
When the day of departure arrived, Sui relentlessly held unto Kaido as she doesn't want the once broken family to be broken again, the reason was this time she wasn't sure if Kaido would ever come back
With this Kaido bent on his knee towards Sui's eye level and said
"Hey! Cheer up! Don't cry, it's not like we will not meet again... . . I promise we will come back"
"A... . .are you sure?" Stuttered Sui as her face gets filled with bitter sorrow
"Of course! This time it will be long but at least we will meet again... . . Plus your reunited with your mother, your family! You should take care of that, especially take care of her" assured Kaido
"But... . . But your my family too... . . Including everyone!" Insisted Sui as some snot formed up because she was crying
Seeing that Kaido patted her head in assurance while the girl immediately and tightly hugged her as if she never wants to let go as she whispered
"Be careful this time... . . Papa!"
At that Kaido was surprised, that the kid really saw the shadow of her deceased father in him just because they look alike, she even believed that he was her deceased father with just different attitude and name
With that eventful goodbye from his so called daughter, Kaido soon took a look at her biological mother who was not far from her
"Take care of her" he said
"And yourself too" she replied
"Noted!"
As he was about to turn around Selery soon told him why Sui was acting that way
"The way you said your goodbye to her... . . Was the exact same thing that my husband said to her... . . Before the day he died and never return... . . I just hope I wouldn't happen to you too" she said
Hearing that Kaido gave her a nod as he turned his back on her
"Rest assured, I'm not that easy to kill"
With that he walked away while glancing at Pablo, Okou, and Zia, when the three saw him looked at them, they immediately understood what they should do, so they instantly nodded too and assured him that the three of them will take care of them
With that in mind Kaido soon arrived at the rendezvous point and saw the Catwoman on that spot and also the carriages that will take the huge group towards their destination
"Alright guys! This girl has a dealing with me, she knows the way towards the elven nation this she will bring us there... . ." Said Kaido
As he said that Kaido glanced at Anna as he ordered
"Anna! Activate an oath contract with this girl between her and me... . . With it we can rest assured that she won't go back on her words and betray us"
"Understood!"
At that Kaido soon entered an oath with the Catwoman as the contract consist of her leading the way towards the elven nation, and if some circumstances have happened to either sides the contract would be null and void
With this secured the Catwoman soon mentioned her name
"My name is Cara, it will be brief but take care of me"
Likewise the others friendly nodded
Soon the group left the Holvart Port Town and went into the road leaving behind Sui with her mother, Okou, Zia, Pablo
This time Kaido intended to cause an internal stir that will soon break the empire from one entity to two sides of either coins, thinking about this Kaido couldn't help but smile at the incoming comeback he would make
*******************************************
[Eldion Empire Castle, Human Continent]
Inside the Duke Agra's manor Jake Everheart was scrolling through a documents as he carefully observed every details which entrails Kaido's tracks
Since Kaido gave him this job, Jack fully decided to immerse himself in being Jake Everheart to further decurved the Duke and the near hero which has grown stronger again
If this ever continoues the power that the hero would wield would be catastrophic
When the day that both Alda and Mia got executed in front of masses, it immediately reignited his flame to spite the empire, he again remembered his hatred and anger towards it
Using the execution as the coal, what even ignited his rage further more was that, the empire even desecrated their corpses and actually hung their heads on a spear and body tied upside down while showing them to the masses to instill fear among them
Even though they spend their time together with him for only a few days, he still couldn't help but regret that someone so young and promising actually died before him who was much more older than them
Cause of that he soon vented his rage out towards the spies and reporters that had knowledge of Kaido by killing them and disposing of their bodies leaving no trace and evidence behind
This further instigated him why he was called the reaper during his criminal days, since he hated the empire so much, he vented his frustration on the humans that has power like nobles by killing them in the dead of night
As he further burrowed himself inside the pile of papers and documents that handed to him by the Duke, a knock sounded out as a guard came in and informed him
"Sir Jake! An informant has come stating that he has information regarding the Run-Away fugitive Kaido"
Hearing that Jake replied
"Let him in"
With that assurance soon the informant entered the room and bowed down towards Jake as he haughtily took a sit
Apparently this informant was a merchant that just returned from the Beastman Country
"Sir! My deepest gratitude for allowing me to enter here, I have information regarding the fugitive that the empire was looking for" said the merchant
"Please do tell"
"Rest assured the information I give will cost" said the merchant as he gestured a money sign on his fingers
"About 200 gold will do"
Hearing this greedy merchant's big price, Jake couldn't wait to kill the guy
Soon Jake took out a 200 gold coins from his drawer and threw it towards the merchant as he said
"Take it! Now tell me"
With that the merchant immediately took the bag of gold as he said
"Surely this will surprise you... . . The reason why the empire haven't heard of the fugitive for so long was because he was not inside the continent anymore... . . Rather he's currently in the Beastman continent"
Feigning surprise Jake deliberately said
"That is surprising... . . No wonder... . . I must soon inform this towards the hero and the king, now tell me... . . What's next?"
As he said this the merchant immediately smiled as he said
"Furthermore I can rest assured you that the princess of the Ingra kingdom was with him indicating that the Ingra kingdom has betrayed us... . . This is treason milord, we need the Ingra kingdom to disappear"
At that note Jake never knew that the Ingra kingdom would do so much for Kaido so he was grateful for a second as he reply
"That's not for you to decide"
"I understood... . . Sorry for overstepping my boundaries"
Soon the talk finished leaving Jake with information while the merchant singing in praises
*********
As the merchant have his merry way and exited the Duke's manor and unto the streets
He soon went to a turn towards another district happily as he counted the gold coins
Soon he somehow felt strange as the surrounding was unusually quiet or in fact there were no sounds at all, as if the whole district was abandoned
When he almost thought of this as logical, he soon snapped out of it as he remembered this street should be bustling with people as they headed straight towards the market
Due to this confusion the merchant didn't even notice the mist that was gradually enveloping the area
The moment the merchant took notice of the mist, a pair sound of footsteps could be heard from a distance as a silhoutte appeared behind him not too far away
Based on its silhouette the merchant concluded that the person was hooded and has come to a point that this was an assassin sent by the fugitive to silence him
"Damn it! I can't die right here! I have plans to finish"
Without further ado the merchant ran for his life, but no matter how far he ran, he would always hear the sound of footsteps near him and will eventually see the silhoutte
Back against the wall the merchant soon unsheathed his dagger as he flailed this towards the silhouette bin an attempt to protect himself
Unknown to him an hand has already slip through his guard and grab his head before spinning it by 360 degrees completely breaking it's spine and in turn killing the merchant in one blow
As the merchant fell the mist soon dissipated as Jake came into view behind him just in front on the Duke's manor
"Illusion world!" He muttered
This was his only spell that he can cast instead of his fighting techniques that didn't require mana at all
In this world the target would lose all it's senses and soon become dazed as the illusion leads the target to either near the caster or far away from the caster, this was the reason why the merchant was near from Jake as the illusion led him back here
After that Jake took out the last content of the corrupting liquid that Anna gave him and poured it on the merchants body, completely turning the corpse into dust with it's corrupting nature
"That's the last of the potion... . . Looks like I need another way to dispose of them... . . By the count that guy should be the 30th disposed informant already... . ."
As he said that he soon turned his head away and returned inside of the Manor too take care of the paperwork's so that he could take a break completely disposing Kaido's tracks
