Ripple Effect, Part Three

Mugen watched Mint from the corner of a building several meters away, frowning. "He… really granted their wishes!"

Asnoth, who was also hiding behind a building, between an alleyway, tapped a wireless device in his ear. "He's definitely up to something. Oliver, you there?"

Oliver, who was crouched down in some bushes, tapped his ear. "I'm watching closely."

Mugen nodded. "Let's stay in place for now. We can't make any sudden movements. We'll wait until he becomes vulnerable, then take him in for questioning."

A shadowy figure appeared behind him. "That's an interesting conversation you're having. Tell me about it."

Mugen froze in place. "Damn it… identify yourself."

The man stepped forward, his black and white hair now visible. "Do I have to?"

Mugen grit his teeth. "Under the authority of the Royal Guard, yes!!"

FOOM!!!

A blast of wind and dust went up in the air.
