"Haa...Haa...I guess this is the level I'm currently at"
Taking a deep breath, I sat down on the bench near the villa. Sirens rang everywhere and the colors red and blue flashed everywhere.
—Weeeeooo! —Weeeeooo!
"Khh..."
Suddenly I felt a sharp pain by the side of my abdomen. My face scrunched up, and a bitter smile appeared on my face.
'I guess fighting without using 'Monarch's indifference' and 'The one' is still a bit tough for me', I thought.
Since Professor Thibaut's strength and mine were quite similar, I decided to fight him using my skills only.
Wasn't too keen on losing another arm. Plus, depending on the opponent, there was a chance that 'The one' wouldn't work. I needed to know the extent of my abilities without the use of my skills.
The result?
A deep gash on the side of the abdomen.
"Khh...still, I guess all of my efforts weren't for nothing"
Ignoring the pain, I took out two things from my pocket. A black smartwatch and a ring.
[Alfonse Thibaut]
Time : 21:39
Messages (69) Calls (2) Mail (987)
'Well, looks like someone doesn't check their mail'
Booting up the smartwatch, I quickly looked through Professor Thibaut's watch. Noticing the 987 unopened messages, I shook my head.
What an irresponsible man.
'If I'm not wrong, it should be this...yup'
Opening the setting function of the watch, I scrolled down, pressed software update, and rebooted the watch. Moments after the interface of the watch changed.
Instead of the usual colorful interface, one with a darker tone appeared.
"Success..."
Successfully entering the database, I clenched my fists. Four apps appeared on the screen.
[Bounties]
[Annoucements]
[Merits]
[Missions]
At the moment I was in the Monolith main database system. It was something that every member of the Monolith had. With it, I could check the different bounties, announcements, and missions that they had up during a certain period of time.
This was key information for me as it would help me avoid a lot of trouble.
Playing with the watch in my hand, I smiled, 'Fortunately it has no tracking device installed'
For obvious reasons, all the watches were anonymous without any tracking devices installed in them.
No one in the Monolith trusted each other. If there was a tracking system installed in the watch, chances were that none of the villains would wear it.
This was especially so since most villains liked to operate alone. Who'd want someone to keep watch of their movement?
Even worse, what if the Union suddenly hacked their system? Wouldn't that expose the location of all their members?
—Ding!
[Ren we're done here, where are you?]
Suddenly my watch rang. It was Kevin. Putting the other watch by my side, I responded.
[Just resting]
[Where exactly?]
Taking my eyes off of my watch, I looked around. It appeared to me that I was on a bench in the backyard of the mansion.
[Looks like the backyard of the mansion. Ah, if you're thinking of looking for me, curb such thought from your mind]
[Why?]
[Because I want to be in peace]
Kevin was the main star of the show today.
Defeating a
This was one of the reasons why I chose to interfere. To increase his shine.
Though not exactly a solution, it somewhat diluted the amount of attention I was getting.
[Alright, if you say so...by the way, thanks for the information]
What did I need my tie fixed for?
