The next day, Iris closed his shop and helped Alicia to move into his house. Helping her with her belongings and others.

"We will stay in a separate room, I stayed next to yours. If there's anything, look for me, alright?" Iris said with a soft look on his face as he placed Alicia's belongings onto the bed.

"That will do then. Thank you." Alicia smiled softly to him. Then Ali nodded in response as he left her room and headed to the living room.

"I'm going to the hospital, I'll be home in a few hours." Iris said loudly for her to listen from her room.

Alicia immediately leaves the room as she wants to send Iris to leave.

"I see you soon then." Alicia said and waved at him while he was wearing his coat on and hat.

Iris smiled in return and left. Alicia is now alone in the house.

"I'm lucky to stay separately from him.." She let out a relief sighed and returned to her room and started keeping her dagger and tools for her assassination job under her bed, and it was hidden perfectly in a box.

"Look.. Iris!" Scorpio bicker, but Iris ignored him and continued to observe the underground tunnel and said, "Don't be a mere child. It was just a little training for you."

"I'm not being a child! There's a bomb in there!" Scorpio yelled in frustration. "Then it's your job to diffuse them." Iris muttered coldly.

"Get your ass in here before I made you do so." Iris scowled coldly as his voice echoed in the tunnel as if he sent shudders to Scorpio with the cold voice of Iris echoing.

Scorpio couldn't help but obeyed in fear of him.

Iris could barely see in the dark tunnel as he depended on his night vision binoculars and heard faint ticking sound before looking for it as he saw a time bomb.

He turned to Scorpio(rudy), who was barely there yet.

"That moron." Iris clicks his tongue in irritation as he defused the bomb by himself in the dark with the help of the binocular.

"Alii!!" Scorpio ran and eventually bump into him in fear as he was starting to call his name.

"What is it? You're not acting rational and stop calling my name." Iris scowled coldly as he pushed Scorpio away from him slightly.

"Why did Uno give us such training, I thought we were prepared enough—and help me take off that bug!" Scorpio yelped while looking at the spider on his shoulder as Iris brushed the spider off.

"You're embarrassing me, Scorpio." Iris murmured and saw a camera that was monitoring them earlier, while behind the monitor, there are few agents that were laughing and chuckling at both of their behaviors.

Iris is walking by the pedestrian walk, heading home with some groceries in his arms with an exhausted face that could pass out anytime.

"I'm home.." Iris said and hung his coat and hat to the hanger next to the door, then entered the kitchen.

"Welcome home, Ali.." Alicia greeted him with a warm smile in her face, Ali couldn't help but return a smile.

"How's your day, Alicia?" Iris asked as he sat by the couch and rested himself before Alicia came to serve him a hot coffee.

"I'm good. Anyway, I'm going to work from tomorrow." Alicia said while Iris sipped on the coffee before he nodded and placed the coffee down.

"I see then.. have you eaten?" Iris asked while looking at her, but Alicia shook her head straight away. "Have you been waiting for me?" Iris raised his eyebrow in sheer surprise.
