"Where...did you get that gun?" The girl asked with a trembling voice. she thought that she already lured Acht into the trap with her flawless acting. But, such a situation was beyond her predictions, and the fact that he was armed made it even more complicated.

"Oh, this? It's just a small gift I took from one of your guards. They're quite nice, to be honest." Acht answered casually.

He then started approaching the girl alarming her subordinates who held their weapons tightly, ready to shoot at any given moment.

"Wait! Don't shoot! Don't you see that he could shoot me too!" The girl shouted with fury.

"B-But...young mis-"

"I said put down your weapons!"

The guards couldn't retort to their leader's response so they put down the guns and looked at the dangerous young man with clear nervousness in their eyes.

"Why did you want to catch me? Know that any lies will create a hole in your head." He said apathetically. He didn't mind the fact that she was a girl or that she was a child, he would kill anyone who dares to backstab him. If there is anything Acht hates to the bone, it's people who betray others.

"I-I...wanted to make you work for me." The girl finally spoke after some silence.

"Explain."

"W-What I mean is...I will threaten you and then make you work for me."

"So you basically want to make me do your dirty work with oppression?"

"Yes." Her head was lowered and her hands were trembling. It was as if she was getting scolded by her parents.

"You did this with other kids in the slums, right?"

With her head lowered, she nodded slightly.

'She's rotten to the core. Not that I have a say in whether a person is bad or not.' He thought as he sighed inwardly.

"And what do you make these kids do exactly?"

"I-I only make them do simple tas-"

*Bam*

The loud sound of a gun echoed in the room as a bullet shot toward the girl, barely missing her head by a few centimeters before settling inside the wall.

"Next time I won't miss."

"Hiiiih!!!!!!" The girl finally couldn't hold herself so she fell to the ground with tears in her small eyes.

When she landed roughly on the ground, a small object also fell out of her body. It was a small circular thing made out of some kind of black material. The object had some weird scribbles on it that resembled ancient ruins.

Acht thought it was some kind of magical artifact and didn't think much about it. However, something totally unexpected happened.

The girl in front of him started to go blurry. Acht was taken aback as he blinked twice, but the girl's silhouette did become indeed blurry for a moment.

Then, after a few seconds, the same thing happened again. It was like looking at a broken tv trying to reboot.

'What is going on?' Acht thought with a small frown.

On the third time, the girl's body didn't blur. It disappeared completely.

What appeared in her place was a fat man. He was the ultimate contrast to that girl. With his huge body and his belly that is threatening to burst at any moment and his ugly features, he could make anyone retreat in disgust.
