e of paper in his hand.

”…General? ” Vora mutter seeing his reaction to Kai, with a clear worried appearance in her cold blue eyes. Her cold and professional facade seemingly broke once more, this time not even returning like last time.

Abruptly, Kai stands up from his chair, knocking it down and startling Vora. Walking away from his desk and immediately heading toward the door, not even sparing a single glace toward Vora. Opening up the wooden door, he quickly left Vora behind inside the room, not saying a single word.

”Kai… ” Vora muttered to herself quietly, clear worried in her tone of voice before quickly following behind.

Leaving the room, Vora looked left and right, trying to find Kai, but it was futile, there was no Kai in sight, and Voras cold blue eyes could only look around with worried.

”Oh my~ It seems you are having some trouble here. ” A voice suddenly rings from behind Vora, causing her eyes to widen and jump away to make some distance between her and the voice while also turning around to look at the source of the voice.

The person that the voice belongs to is none other than Samael himself. Seemingly appeared out of nowhere, even though Vora had already checked the hallway and saw no one coming.

When did he…? Vora thought to herself while her cold blue eyes stared straight at Samael.

”Lieutenant Eous. What are you doing here? ” Vora asks, standing straight while glaring at Samael.

”Oh, please, do not address me by rank; call Samael. Im here to give an order from the higher-up to General Kai, but considering you just left the room… ” Samael said while taking a glimpse inside the room, ”It seems that he had gone somewhere. I guess Im not telling him this order anytime soon. And I doubt he would answer my call considering his kind of person. ”

”An order form higher up for General? ”

”Well, the higher-up doesn want the General to interfere with the current situation with the criminal Raven. They want him to stand down while I will be the one handling this matter. ”

”What? You? Alone? And why can the General interfere? ” Vora said, her glare seemingly to become more intensified.

”Oh, scary~ Please don look at me like that. ” Samael said with his smile ever present on his face while putting his hands up, ”I am only here to tell you about the order from the higher-up. Please don get angry at me now. But if I have to guess, they probably don want one of their five Grand-General to deal with something as simple as dealing with a single criminal.

Even with our current base being near Tartarus, the higher does not want their Grand-General to make a move on the criminal.

After all, it would not put a lot of reassurance on SOM from the people if they think they need someone like a Grand-General to deal with a single company. Not that there is reassurance from the people in the first place.

Which is why they decide to send me instead. ” Samael continues.

”Right now, Tartarus is on Level S alert due to the report of him going to Tartarus. All civilians and SOM personnel had been evacuated from the city, and they wanted to send me to deal with Raven. Although I would want to have some more backup with me, it seems that the higher think that me alone is enough to deal with him. ” Samael said with a shrug

”Why are you telling me this? ” Vora suddenly asks, while her guard is still up, never letting down, ”I doubt the higher want me to know about the order. ”

”Oh, I know. But considering that you are General Kais secretary, I see no problem telling you about it. ” Samael said before shrugging his shoulder, ”Anyway, since the Grand-General is not here, I will be going to Tartarus now. See you later, Lieutenant Vora. ”

With that goodbye, Samael walks away from Vora into the hallway, leaving Vora alone, contemplating Samaels words in her head.

Don tell me Kai is going to…? Vora thought. But why? I never see him act emotionally when he reads the report. I have never seen him act like that since… Vora thought quickly and stopped with a shake of her head.

Did the criminal Raven do something in the past toward Kai that I don know about? No, what more important right now is I need to stop him from doing stupid again! With this, Voras cold blue eyes are now full of determination.

Taking a deep breath, she quickly moved toward the same way that Samael had gone, with one single goal in mind that stopped Kai from doing whatever he was going to do.
