'That does not look good at all,' Gojo repeatedly glanced at his phone, checking for any messages from the Doctor or Amiya.

While his only remaining dress shirt and pants were being washed, he opted to switch back to his Shinjuku outfit.

He glanced outside again, the sight remained the same.

Large portions of Lungmen were emitting smoke, the LGD headquarters itself seemed to have been taken over.

He had been wondering why he hadn't received a text message, and was unaware of how the Doctor, Amiya, and the rest of the squad were doing. Especially Schwarz and Ceylon. As a result, his thumb danced on the keypads of the phone as he began typing. 'Yo, you guys okay down there?'

He stared back at the scenery, slightly itching to see what was going on, until...

'Ah, we're okay. Reunion has overtaken the LGD headquarters, but your current orders are to stay at Rhodes Island until we need your help. Currently, we have an elite operator with us right now, so the attempt to retake the headquarters has been a success so far.'

The text was from Amiya, prompting Gojo Satoru to raise his eyebrows. He merely shrugs after, pocketing his phone as he begins walking away from the sight.

He wondered how a city like Lungmen could be ransacked like this, especially because of the shadowed figure he sensed from the elevator before. Back when he was entering Lungmen with Rhodes Island to discuss negotiations.

'He was quite powerful too... Probably some spec ops,' perhaps Chief Wei didn't want to play his cards right now, that or the black cloaked soldiers were not associated with Lungmen entirely. Gojo was betting largely more on the former option, though.

"Why do we have to go into Lungmen, again?" Fiammetta walked through the desolate streets as she turned to Mostima, who was walking ahead of her.

"Well~, Kal'tsit said she wouldn't bring or tell us where Gojo Satoru is until we do our duties as operators, privacy and all," Mostima replied back to her as she looked around. "Hm, I don't think we'll be getting any sweets here."

"Of course we wouldn't, how could such a powerful country like Lungmen struggle and be overtaken by this much?" Fiammetta took in the sights, disappointed at how a group of terrorists was able to cause so much damage.

"Things happen, I guess," Mostima boredly glanced up at a ten story building, drawing her Black Lock, pointing at it; and then an orange blast immediately fired off of it.

It impacted the top portion of the building, blowing it completely off as Mostima resheathed her stave. Whomever the enemy that was spying on them were eviscerated now.

'It's strange... Those eyes could tell immediately what my keys could do.' A genetic trait from the Gojo clan as Gojo Satoru had said it before. The man was able to hint towards her when they first met that he knew they were sentient.

It was further solidified when he explained to Mostima and the group that his eyes could analyze things down to their greatest secrets.

If his ability to deduce everybody's arts was anything to go by, those eyes were an insane genetic trait. One she felt many powerful people would covet, so why did he give the information away so freely?

"What's on your mind now?" Fiammetta glanced up at the obliterated building with slight disapproval.

"It's nothing of note," Mostima playfully glanced back at the Liberi.

"Everytime you say that, it probably is," the woman in response simply let out a huff of air. However, she would immediately pull out her blocky rifle looking gun, pointing it to another rooftop and firing.
