Last night...

I followed Tio.

I wouldn't miss this chance to at least secure any information that would lead us back to him. He's always been f*cking elusive. Even when we worked on that f*cking transport request that he set up. Not to mention, this motherf*cker tried to kill me too. Eddy was so worried.

So I sneaked in downstairs as fast as I could to follow him. I saw him and this monster fighter walk through a back door and it leads to huge area underground with various rooms and cages. A dungeon? How f*cking big is this place? Jesus.

I hid myself among the crowd of other fighters as I filch glances at them. Then, I saw Tio walk out of a door. So I eagerly followed him as he went out.

Let's listen through this door for now.

"How are they?" Tio seems to be speaking with someone over the phone.

"Really? At least one of them has great instincts and quick to catch on."
"Yeah, he won. I told you, he's family. My people."
"A kid?"
"Okay, I'll check on him too. Just to be sure."
"Yes. Call me again, Miss. Report everything to me."

Huh? Miss? Miss as in Suzy?

What the d*mn hell? Has Suzy been backstabbing us all along?!
I need to hurry and tell this to Eddy.

As I turned around, I accidentally bumped into someone. When I looked up, all my f*cking nerves quickly rose with panic. Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!

I'm having horrendous goosebumps as this monster fighter looks down at me. F*ck I can't move.

He immediately grabbed me by my wrists with both arms. His grip was tight enough to hurt despite him looking like he gives little to no effort. Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! I'm scared. I'm scared.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" he spoke. His voice was even more frightening and deep. Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!

Then, the door behind me is starting to open. F*ck, I can't die here. Not only can I die in this monster's hands but surely, Tio will not want to see me.

Without much thought, I jumped to tiptoe and bit this monster's ear. Finally, he loosened his grip and I was able to escape. Sh*t Dami you almost died. Son of b*tch, I gotta flee!

"Queen Dami! Long time no see!" someone yelled as I try to run. Upon hearing this, I briefly stopped. That was Tio. Sh*t. Queen? Funny how he called me that.

"Meet me. I could use your help again." Tio says this along with coordinates he recited.

Upon hearing this, I hurriedly ran and went home. I was hella tense and tired as f*ck. I almost died in there. But I was also puzzled. Tio, you really are mysterious. I need some time to think before I discuss this with Eddy.

And now we're here together, meeting with "the best gambler" as recruited by Suzy. This woman. I should be wary of her.

The best gambler reached his palms to Eddy as if to shake his hand and said, "Call me V. If you doubt my capabilities, why don't we play a little game here and now?"

A game, huh?

"Okay, V. Show me your skills." Eddy answered.

He has peculiar tastes in clothes but it's not ugly. Just... really the type that would make your head turn on a drive way. His face screams symmetry. Meaning, his facial proportions are perfect. A young and handsome man is how I would describe him. But his vibe is much like of a teenager. Hence, Eddy would naturally question his abilities.
