Angelo and Ryo sat in a small caffe.Angelo took up a pile of papers. Ryo handed him as he looked at them carefully.

"So, orphans and kids are being kidnapped to be turned into soldiers."said Angelo."Yes, but the mafia families don't do the kidnapping it's often done by a third party group."said Ryo.

"I figured as much these families are prestigious and keep all their business dealings transparent and their funds are also very transparent.

So all their dirty work is passed on yo third parties, which have no real connection to the original, but what I want to know is why would you openly attack me as a mafia member?"asked Angelo.

"Because the mafia families now want to pull suspicion on themselves, these families are highly regarded and monitored as they all hold two great relics each them.

So if they drag more suspicion, the outside partners they have can go unoticed this outside force from what I could gather are helping the families initiate a silent coup."replied Ryo.

"So, kidnapping children is a sort of cover-up for a bigger plan."said Angelo."Not exactly from what I could gather. Some of these children were directly sold to the outside force.

And also these families would he marked with a curse."said Ryo.Angeli's eyes went wide as he almost spat out his tea.

Wait, did you realize something?"asked Ryo."Yes, I think I know who the outside force is."said Angelo, slight anger in his voice.

"I'm not sure if I'm correct, but their's one person I've encountered that's who's ability that would motivate him to do these activities."said Angelo.

"Who would that be?"asked Ryo."My grand uncle Bargon rycard."Ryo could sense the disdain Angelo had when he said that name.

"Can you point me to any of the people who sold their children?"asked Angelo."Yes, I've kept close tabs on some of these families."replied Ryo.

"Wait,could you take mo these families?"asked Angelo."They're inly seven families that sold their children. The other children who went missing were taken from orphanages."said Ryo.

"Makes you think parents who could be bought were killed."Said angelo."Yes, but for others who could utilize voudaju but chose normal lives.

They were forced into servitude for these families."said Ryo in a sorrowful tone."But how wasn't the W.E.U. tipped off?"asked Angelo.

"Well, the families usually bribe off agents or send loyalist to enlist and monitor the country themselves."replied Ryo.

"Figured so."said Angelo as he got up.A young waitress with long brown hair then walked up to them.

"Are you two finished?"asked the young lady.Yes, here's the money for the bill and the tip."said Angelo as he put a few notes on the table.

"Thank you and Mr Ryo, you and your son have a nice day."Said the lady as the two existed the building.

"Wait, what!"said Angelo."She thinks we're related should i go correct her."said Ryo."No, we you already left, but I wonder how she could think that."said Angelo.

"We kinda have the same skin tone, and when an old man and a child sit across from each other in a caffe, that's the best assumption."said Ryo.

"Yeah, but I have a lighter skin tone, and you're bald."said Angelo."Who are you calling bald!"shouted Ryo.

"Didn't mean it as an insult, but my father's human form has long, straight black hair."said Angelo."Human form."said Ryo.

"It's complicated."said Angelo."Alright, anyway, let's just go and don't insult my hair."said Ryo."But you don't have none."said Angelo.

"I'm starting to regret not dying."said Ryo as he flagged down a taxi."You better have not. Wouldn't want one of your kids to come seek revenge."Said angelo as he entered the taxi.

"Not like they would they'd probably think karma finally caught up to me, and they wouldn't be wrong."said Ryo.

"Well, that's nice to hear. I've killed a lot of parents and have enough salty children after me."said Angelo.

"Guess we have something in common brat, except some of my victims were innocent."said Ryo.

"You have no idea how wrong you are."said Angelo as he stared through the window."Wait, I realized I don't know who your family is."said Angelo.

"So I know almost nothing about yours."said Ryo."Why don't we exchange pictures."said Angelo Angelo.

"You have no idea how weird that sound besides, I don't keep pictures on me."said Ryo."You're an old man who works a shady job. You have pictures."said Angelo.

"Why do you care so much?"asked Ryo."Well, I just realized I don't know you very well."said Angelo."Let's keep it that way for a while."said Ryo.

"Fine, I get it. we don't know each other so I'll leave it for later."said Angelo."You're a weird teenager."said Ryo.

Angelo then pulled out a blank white glowing card."What defines you as a person?"asked Angelo.

"Why do you ask that?"asked Ryo."When I know your motivation, your dreams help me create something that reflects you."replied Angelo.

"Kid, I'm forty-six, and I still don't know."replied Angelo."The expected answer."said Angelo as the blank card flew into ryo's chest.

"What was that?"asked Ryo."When you find out that card will take the shape of you and if you discover yourself again, it will evolve with you."said Angelo.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I couldn't even discover myself enough to make my very own technique."said Ryo.

"I'm betting on you the power I gave you, along with that second card will shape when you find your character, and I know you can do it."said Angelo.

"Never gamble, kid, because you made a bad bet."said Ryo."I never make bad bets. You're a good person at heart. I know you'll come true not for me but for your family."replied Angelo.

"Whatever you say, so how are we gonna erase the cab drivers' memory?"

"Well, he's a rat. we were gonna kill him anyway."said Angelo.The taxi then swerved as the slamming into a street light as the driver jumped out.

The car blew up as the taxi driver started to run.His body disintegrated into purple ash as angelo and Ryo walked from the explosion unfazed.

"Next time, I'll order a taxi online."said Angelo.

The people around him started to scream and run away."Cast amnesia."said Angelo.As he held up a card with the image of a confused man.

The people then stopped looking confused as angelo erased the evidence of anything happening.

"Tell me the direction I'll be their in a few seconds."said Angelo."You sure it's almost fifty miles away."said Ryo.

"If I go ten percent of my top base speed, I can be their in o.5 seconds."said Angelo as purple lighting flashed around his body.

"How dud someone your age manage to mimic lightning anyway?"asked Ryo.My grandmother said I rely too much on plasma,light, and darkness, so I had to settle for this."said Angelo.

"What do mean settle learning lightning takes? years, much less, all those others."said

Ryo.

"Not really. I kinda cheated, but just give me the direction."said Angelo."Go straight for twenty miles, turn left at twenty, and go up the first hill you see for ten."said Ryo.

"Angelo smiled, grabbing Ryo by his shoulder as he vanished in a flash of purple lightning."

A tall figure watched them disappear with a small smile on their face.
