In a room where numerous people were talking, speaking, eating, and resting two women were having lunch during their break time.
"Still no phone call from him?" A woman in a lab coat asked Ms Satori.
"It'd have been a while. And he didn't take much money with him." Ms Satori replied.
"It's natural. Since you are a mother. But I am sure he is fine. From what I remember Kei is a bright child." Ms Satori's coworker replied.
"I hope that's the case. But I know that he will probably get himself into trouble." Ms Satori replied.
"Just stop worrying for a moment and eat your meal. We only have a few minutes left." Her friend said.
The two then finished eating and went back to their respective work.

At that time a Red Ribbon army member was observing Kei's mother and her friend on top of a building afar with a pair of binoculars.
"So that is the woman that I need to catch. She is a beauty. It's such a shame that I can't do anything to her." He said.
He was Colonel Brown from the Red Ribbon Army.
"If only we were sure that the newbie betrayed the army I would be able to keep her as my pet instead of just having to capture her." He said as he continued to observe Ms Satori.
She was in Capsule Cooperation's territory so he could not carelessly take any kind of dramatic action.
Otherwise, the Capsule Cooperation which possesses a lot of wealth and highly developed technologies and weapons might become their enemy.
Even if they are confident in taking them down the army would still be weakened to the point where they could be taken down easily by an outside force.
And the victory is still not certain.
So he waited for her to get away from the capsule cooperation.
It lasted for a while but she finally left the capsule cooperation in her car as she seemed to head toward her house.
"Finally. Took her long enough." Brown said as he pulled out a sniper rifle that had a trequenlizer loaded into it.
He then aimed it at the driver's seat where Kei's mother was.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger a pitchfork landed right in front of him at a very fast speed piercing it into the ground.
It didn't hit him but he was scared for a moment as he knew that the pitchfork missed his body on purpose and not because of the terrible aim of its wielder.
"Whatever you are planning to do stop it." A blue devil that was flying in the sky said to Brown.
It was Spike the Devilman. Fortune teller Baba's strongest warrior.
The pitchfork flew back into his hand as he looked at Brown.
"Who are you? Are you someone from Capsule Corporation?" Brown asked.
"Who am I is not something that you should be bothering about," Spike replied.
Brown smiled as he knew that if Spike was from the Capsule Cooperation he would just say it straight out as both of them were still in West City, the place where Capsule Cooperation exists.
But Spike didn't. Brown would have backed out if Spike was from Capsule Cooperation and would have tried targeting Kei's mother later as making Capsule Cooperation an enemy is not an ideal outcome.
He thought that Spike was a nobody who was able to fly in the air because of the mutation caused by the drugs that the Red Ribbon army created long ago.
He knew Spike was strong just from his pitchfork throw but he had never seen a man that could tank bullets and smash rock with his bare hands in his life before.
General Blue from the army could perform such feats but he is not someone who needs to show his powers to the likes of Brown.
"Do you know you are messing with? I am from the Red Ribbon Army. If you still want to get in my way don't blame me for being unkind." He threatened Spike.
He then aimed his sniper rifle at the devil man.
Seeing that Spike didn't budge he pulled the trigger.
Spike easily dodged the dart.
And ended the life of Colonel Brown by piercing a hole in the area where his heart was located.
"I am sorry. I don't want to resort to this but you are too dangerous to be left alive." Spike said.
"What? What the hell are you?"
Spike turned around when he heard the voice of a man.
He possesses a handsome face, short black hair, and a muscular body.
He was wearing a green sleeveless shirt, orange pants, and a red bandana while also carrying a sword that was sheathed around his wrist.
"Why did you kill that man?" The man asked Spike.
"Answer me." He yelled at Spike when the devilman didn't answer his question.
"Then I would have to beat the answer out of you." The man said as he rushed towards Spike only to be knocked out cold by him using a single punch to the face making him bleed a little.
"He does not seem to belong to the Red Ribbon army," Spike said as he looked at the man.
Still, that speed if he was just a bit faster could have given me some trouble. Spike thought in his mind as he picked up the lifeless body of Brown and flew away to find a place to dispose of it.

"You are lacking focus." Fortune teller Baba said to me as she slapped me on the back of my head with her hand.
"Hey. Can you stop doing that? You know hitting someone head's many times could affect their brain." I said to her.
"Then don't lose focus. I can see your aura being unstable." She replied.
"And don't also let your emotions get to your ki. I can see some kind of pale pinkish color in your aura." Baba said.
"I was already losing out a lot of money when I decided to help you. Remember you have to pay it back. Otherwise, I will make your afterlife hell." She said to me.
I knew she was not kidding.
