Arriving in Washington

After a long journey with transit in three countries, Kailu and his friends were finally on the last flight to Washington, United States. They hoped to find peace after the tense events in Japan.

When the plane landed at Dulles International Airport, they immediately got out with quick steps, trying to avoid any possible dangers lurking. Kailu immediately ordered a taxi and contacted his friend, Alex, to ask for a meeting place.

"You guys better come to my cafe. I'll wait there."

Without wasting any time, they got into the taxi and drove to Alex's cafe, hoping to find temporary shelter. However, they did not realize that someone was still at the airport, watching the hustle and bustle of Washington with great interest.

Meanwhile, Alizer did not immediately follow Kailu and his friends. As someone who had just set foot in America for the first time, he decided to walk around downtown Washington. His eyes observed the tall buildings and streets filled with people with their own lives.

Unintentionally, as she walked on a busy sidewalk, her body bumped into a muscular man who was chatting with his friend. The man was wearing a leather jacket with tattoos running down both of his arms.

"Hey, don't you watch the road?" the man's voice was rough and full of threats.

Alizer paused for a moment, but she didn't feel the need to explain anything. She continued her steps without paying attention to the man.

However, that action only made the muscular man even angrier.

"Hey, do you think you can just leave like that?" the man said while pulling Alizer's shoulder roughly. "I don't like arrogant people."

His friend, a larger man, also laughed mockingly. "Looks like you need a lesson, kid."

At that moment, Alizer's eyes turned bright red. His gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce the soul of anyone who dared to oppose him. In an instant, the two men felt something strange—their bodies suddenly felt heavy, sore, as if there was an invisible force crushing their bones from within.

"W-What is this...?!" one of them shouted while holding his chest.

The pain was getting worse. Cold sweat poured down their faces, and their knees started to weaken. They fell to their knees in front of Alizer, panting as if they had just experienced a real nightmare.

Alizer stared at them with a cold expression. "You guys really don't know your place," she said in a low but pressing voice.

The muscular man was speechless. The pain in his body was like a punishment that came from within himself. He lowered his head, realizing that the figure in front of him was no ordinary person.

"S-Sir... forgive us," he said in a trembling voice.

Alizer grinned. "Do you want to survive?"

The two men nodded quickly.

"Then, from now on, you will work for me."

Without hesitation, they immediately swore their loyalty to Alizer. With that, Alizer now had two new followers, people who used to be just street thugs, but now became her tools to carry out a bigger plan.

With a faint smile on her face, Alizer continued her steps.

"Washington... this will be the beginning of my reign."

Meanwhile, at Alex's cafe, Kailu and his friends finally arrived and sat down in a safe place. They had not realized that Alizer was still in the same city, and now she had even begun to build up her power.

The peaceful atmosphere of Washington was about to change...
