Leaving the new recruits to Viv from now on...at least until the city was restored, Eden looked around using his 'Soul Scan' skill and almost immediately found where Alexandra was. She was only a couple of blocks away from the guild building.

“Husband.”

“Wife.”

Both of them said while glancing at each other. At this point, Eden sighed and banged his head on the broken wall that Alexandra was sitting on.

“What the hell....and how the hell am I going to explain this to Weed? He probably knows that this city is already....and god what the hell is he going to make me do?” muttered Eden shivering at being used by that monster.

Alexandra jumped down off the broken wall and patted him on the shoulder, while saying at the same time, “Don't drag me into this as well” before trying to leave quickly. However in turn Eden grabbed her preventing her from escaping and said:

“Don't you dare try to escape from this. What the hell were you doing at the time when Ron was rampaging.”

“Dealing with my own stuff. Trust me when I say that you are lucky only half the city was destroyed in this incident. If I had dragged my problems here as well there wouldn't be a city in the end!”

“....”

Eden thought about it and remembered Alexandra mentioning about some powerful monsters looking for her and nodded.

“Anyway did you manage to track down their real identities in real life?” asked Alexandra.

“I did” replied Eden with another sigh. Recently...no ever since he came to this world he had been sighing a lot to the point he believed he sighed more than anyone else ever.

“And what did you find?”

“All orphans, recently adopted by a rich old man. Doesn't seem to be out of generosity however. Inferna is actually the butler to that old man.”

“Oh really? That damn shady man is actually something as respectable as a butler?” Alexandra almost laughed at the irony, “Doesn't that mean they are safe then?”

“Not at all. That old man plans on using them and throwing them away in the end no matter the result. He knows that it is near impossible to find that damn granddaughter of his. Plus Weed had more than enough headaches to deal with with that one.

“In that case I'll leave it to you to deal with it. You're better at these kinds of schemes to begin with.”

“Damn...in that case we need to make sure that old man can't do anything he wants in the end. I guess we will owe another favour to that damn Goddess AI in the end....”

“Once again, I'll leave it to you.”

With that, the conversation between them ended. Eden had logged out of the game.

[p=center]xXx[/p]

Prompted by Viv, the group logged out and met with Simon, the butler immediately. Peter was no sure on what was happening at all. Maria was curious but did not care enough to ask while the rest really didn't care at all and kept silent the entire time.

For some reason they were at the entrance to this large mansion and was also with the old man that had taken them in. He gave a glance at them and then Simon and at the door and sighed.

“Master, 'he' will be arriving soon” said Simon checking the terminal on his arm.

Hearing this, the old man sighed once again and said, “How exactly and more to the point, why is that person coming here personally? For a representative for Unicorn to-”

BANG!

With a kick, the door that was taller than a person by several times was slammed open revealing a person in normal clothing. She was wearing a plain white shirt and jeans but if you look closely you would see that it was all brand clothing that were all expensive to own.

She had a relatively thin figure and long black hair with a face that one could mistake for a goddess or statue depicting the ideal woman. The group wondering with they if still in the game gasped at once while the old man looked confused on this action and Simon let out a chuckle.

It was evident enough that except for one person here, they all knew that 'she' was actually a 'he'.

“Eden?” asked Peter in a low voice. Eden turned and smiled at him causing his heart to beat rapidly for some reason. It was one think to see him in game where many people were beautified but in reality where there was filter for looking at people...

“Yo, I'm here to take you all to school!” exclaimed Eden in a loud voice.

“Huh?”

Peter, no everyone stood there speechless on the proclamation that Eden just made, in this place that was far from a mere game.
