It was already night. They arrived at a city called Celestia. Kim Woo got out of the car, leaving his brother in the passenger seat. A guy with red hair and a red right eye was standing in front of the entrance to the building. Kim Woo tossed him the keys and said:
"Take my brother away from here."
He got in and started the car without any questions. Then he left. Kim Woo opened the door, inviting the boys to follow him.
There was a club inside, but it was completely empty. Clearly a working club, but without a single person except a blond man who vaguely resembles Diego and a man with two hair colors - blonde and black hair.
The blonde scoffed, flipping the knife between his fingers before lazily tucking it away. He gave the men with dual-colored hair a light tap on the cheek—not hard, but enough to make the restrained Kiwooin flinch.
"Oh, come on," the blonde drawled, rolling his eyes. "I barely touched him."
But the brunette wasn't having it. His body remained tense, his fists trembling with anger. "He can't even defend himself, you bastard!" His voice was dangerously low, filled with unspoken threats.
Kim Woo took a step forward, his gaze cold and sharp. "Let him go." His words weren't loud, but they carried enough weight to make the blonde pause.
Felix, Kyle, and Jake watched the scene unfold, each ready to act if necessary.
The blonde sighed dramatically, raising his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright. No need to get all worked up." He released his grip, and the dual-haired men slumped slightly, exhaling a shaky breath.
The tension in the room remained thick, but now, all eyes were on Kim Woo.
"These three men knew Diego personally. I did as you wanted. I brought people here who knew Diego by sight. Let Kiwooin go now."
"Good. How did you meet my brother?"
Before anyone could do anything, Jonathan used the Kilianthropism technique. And he began to get used to the memories.
Everything is getting blurry. Dark. Then the memories are gradually reproduced. And now his brother is standing in front of Jonathan.
"You really?"
Diego disappeared into thin air. And Felix fell to his knees from the pain in his head. Jake and Kyle don't know if anything can be done. They watch Jonathan's reaction in panic.
Immediately, the soldiers of the circle break into the building.
"Everyone stand still! The circle is working. Kiwooin, you're under arrest for stealing data from the dome."
Kyle and Jake exchanged glances, not understanding why they were worried about Kiwooin and not Jonathan.
Zach Rose enters the room with the soldiers.
"Jonathan, you can't give away your location. What have you done?!"
Jonathan just clicked his tongue
...
"Kyle was furious. He doesn't understand why the circle is protecting K. L.'s son. You explain it to me, Joe." Jake told one of the soldiers of the "hundred".

"This situation is very difficult. We are now going to the headquarters of the Council of the hundred to discuss the implementation of the world ranking."
Entering the council room Joe starts cooking without sitting down at the table:
"The world ranking system is necessary for us for the circle and the dome as a whole."
"Putting such a complex process into practice will be very difficult. Because this system may not be accepted as an innovation. This system can be used against us." Says the mustachioed man.

"People like Kiwooin and others like him can take data from the circle and leave unnoticed. I think this will simplify our task." Zack said.

Leaving the meeting, Jake thought about it and asked Joe.
"Now every second person has access to any person's data?"
"Yeah"
"Legally..."
"Where are we going now, Bonamassa?"
"To Kiwooin"
