===========================================================================

Xiang Ye was talking to someone from the tablet.

Xiang Ye: How is the situation, did you get any information?

???: The girl... Who took him... She is damn strong, she used the sun as a weapon, we are all hospitalized here, so we cannot really come back for another 2 weeks to 2 months, sorry.

Xiang Ye breaths in and out.

Xiang Ye: So you got no information on her?

???: All we know is that she is Mr. Nikolov's sister-

Xiang Ye: S-She is... What?!

he was in shock as the person on the other side of the speaker...

???: Yeah... She has 2 manifestations, pretty lucky... One of it is Portals, she can open a red colored portal to any location. The other one... Is related to the sun, but we still are trying to figure it out, Mr. Ye.

Xiang Ye looks around to make sure nobody is listening.

Xiang Ye: Thanks for the information, spy. King George will make sure those bills are payed.

Xiang Ye hanged up, then he puts away the tablet in the living room's table and walks away.

Meanwhile in Bulgaria, city was Vidin. At Maria's apartment... She was eating soup with X & Mina as they discussed the news from Spain's kidnapping.

Maria: So that is Elaina's mysterious boyfriend those rumours talk about?

UltraX: mhm, even though I never met any of the Vans in person, I only had encounter when I fought Garou in New York. Otherwise, it was only with that boy...

Mina: Wait you were already there?

Mina was confused.

UltraX: Yeah, even saw Garou's expression... God I feel pity for him.

Maria wasn't impressed with what Ultra said as she looked away.

Maria: Feeling pity for that monster, your standards really have fallen over the years...

UltraX looks at Maria.

UltraX: Hey, I wasn't the one who got raped in their own apartment.

Maria then spills over on the ground the coca cola she drank as Ultra said that.

Maria: Shut it, It was an event I was not expecting. How would I have known about Jared being inside my apartment planning to make me suffer? I'm not like you, someone who can sense enemies on daily duty.

Maria breaths in and out as she continues drinking her coca cola and Mina eats her soup.

UltraX: Sure ya couldn't. You just needed an excuse to be saved, again. Jeez we are not little anymore, I know your behaviour after our dear childhood friend went missing.

UltraX looks away.

UltraX: You know, I know that you trained to sense enemies. Is there something you did not tell me, are you distracting me?
