Nevertheless, not caring about her absolutely serious expression and tone, grinning in an entertained way, Virus stated, “As we had come to an agreement prior to the battle, I was going to take some of the drops, and I’m doing just that, now with or without your permission.”
Not stopping there, he added, “You should be grateful instead that I’m not taking any more, so, how about you stop nagging now, dear squirting beauty.”
“You! You’re an i-idiot!” Gnashing her teeth in anger, this was the worst curse she could pronounce in return before continuing, “Anyway! Y-you can’t take those away before our experts have investigated them.”
“…” Listening to her helpless yet demanding words, he went entirely silent for a while as he just kept staring at her.
“Adios amigo.” And that was his last words as he turned around and vanished entirely.
“Wait!” Flipping her hands, she lay thousands of threads all around Virus’ previous spot, albeit, he was already no longer there.
Spotting no one within her net of threads, abruptly, an empty feeling descended upon her as she felt as if she had just lost something very important and precious to her.
By her side, Bloody Touch mumbled with shining eyes of adoration, “Wow… big brother Dark Savior was so strong…!”
“Oh, big sis, we forgot about Swordsman bro! He must have a few bones broken all over his body… let’s take him to the medics!” Looking in the direction of the passed out Supersonic Sword, Bloody Touch proclaimed toward the lost Thread Mistress.

Finally, after Virus’ disappearance, the viewers started to come out of their stupor as one of them finally voiced, “Wa-was that a gun just now?”
“…”
“Ah… I think so. Yeah… I believe we all saw a gun appearing on his hand, but… what kind of gun is so powerful? I mean, did you just see what happened to the flying pig?”
“Ah… God, who was he? And where did he go?”
“That gun can’t possibly also be a trait, right?”
“I know almost every type of handgun in the world… but let me tell you this… that handgun was none of them! Did you look at that shining red light from it? It was obviously a new type of handgun… something far more advanced than what’s available at the market.” A certain netizen wrote.
“So you think it’s an advanced technology? Hmm, I don’t think so though. I believe his trait is something very special which grants him both the power to be able to dragonize and the power to be able to create that gun. I mean… we all saw that gun appear out of nowhere just like those scales, right?” Another netizen who seemed very analytic stated.
“What kind of trait would be so overpowered? Can his trait be something like ‘The ability of body transformation’? That would be a terrifying trait indeed…”
“Maybe…”

WITHIN THE SPACESHIP
“Master, that fight was epic!” Mumbled an excited golden beauty toward the dark-haired youth.
“Haha, of course, when I’m involved, any fight would be legendary!” Replied Virus in a joking tone.
Smiling, the golden beauty queried, “So… what are we going to do now?”
Hearing the question, looking at her as if he was saying ‘Isn’t that obvious?’, he responded, “Now? Now, I’m going to do some research on these red-crystals… I need to know what they are. But before that, I may need a few tools in order to do that. So, I’m going to call the Island ugly now.”
Saying this, he picked up his phone which was already calling a number saved as ‘Island Ugly’.
Only a single beep was heard when the call went through as a voice was heard from the other side of the line, “Please pass along your orders master.”
“Um…” Nodding in satisfaction, Virus started talking, “I’m sending you a blueprint of a rather advanced microscope compared to the current ones available together with a few other blueprints I might need… make one of each till tomorrow and send them over.”
“Understood, anything else?” Agreeing without any delay, the Island ugly requested for further orders.
“Not anything else, for now, I’ll call you again if there is anything new.” A few moments after uttering this, he proceeded by adding, “Oh, right… that auction which was going to sell the ‘Pink Star’ when is it going to be held? What’s the date?”
Not pausing to deliberate at all, the Island ugly answered, “Its exact date isn’t determined as of yet, but roughly, it’s going to be held around a year and a half…”
“Um… I see. That’s rather long…” Said Virus while touching his chin. Then, he continued, “Though I think I’m gonna be busy for a while from now on, so it’s okay. Alright, that’s it, go prepare the blueprints now.”
“At once, master.” Heeding the command, the line was cut off.

Until the next day, the internet and the netizens continued talking about the mysterious dark-haired youth, the same thing was happening all around the world in different media.
A certain government-supported News media in the United States also reported a particular news, “According to our sources and the reports we received from some governmental officials, that mysterious dark-haired youth who fought and killed the flying pig monster yesterday seemed to have introduced himself as the ‘Dark Savior’, however, as to his real identity in real life, until now, no one, including every agency within the country, has been successful in cracking his true identity.”
“Now, officials have been requesting the common citizens to report any sightings of the said person as soon as possible.” At this time, a clear picture of the dark-haired youth was put up on the screen as the newscaster continued, “No further details regarding that person and the happenings of the previous day at the rift has been disclosed. Now, coming to the next piece of news…”
For some unknown reasons, it seemed the government had no intention of revealing the fact that the dark-haired youth was a super-expert when it came to hacking as he had easily hacked and placed a fake identity for himself right before them.
_______________
Of course, the United States of America wasn’t the only country interested in knowing the identity of the dark-haired youth after witnessing his exceptional prowess with their own eyes.
“Find his identity as soon as possible! If we can bring him to our country, we wouldn’t need to be afraid of any rifts whatsoever! Our country would be totally safe!” A certain President yelled at the people before him with extreme urgency apparent within his tone.
“Yes, Mr. President!”
…
The highest authority of a different country also ordered, “Come on! Release a piece of news in every media outlet we have! Say that we are willing to hire and invite that person to our own country at whatever price he names!”
“Yes, sir!”
…
“Did you see that trait, or technology, or whatever! I mean, he can fucking turn into a dragon! What else is required for protecting our country?! Nothing I would say! Find him and bring him to me using every source we have within our country! We shall offer him whatever he wants, understood?” A certain prime minister proclaimed toward the officials before him.
“Yes, sir!”
In short, for the whole day, the entire world and every country in every corner of the Earth was talking about how amazing the dark-haired youth and his powers were. Some were saying he had abnormally advanced technologies at hand while some were guessing that his transformation into a part-dragon and that handgun of his were both something related to his exceptional trait.
Nevertheless, no matter what they were saying or discussing, there was one thing all of them had in common, and that was the fact that they were all looking for him in order to pull him to their own side.

WITH THE CEO UGLY AT 4 TIMES SQUARE
Currently, in a meeting room containing a long table and many seats, the CEO ugly was sitting at the head of the long table while the Legal ugly was sitting on his right side on the closest chair. Three of the other chairs were also filled by the heads of the Accounting and Finance, Human Resources, and the Purchasing departments.
Staring at the faces of the three department heads, the CEO ugly began talking, “Alright everyone, let me start by saying that I appreciate you gathering here at first notice. However, before we truly begin, I need to warn all three of you that this is a private meeting and all the subjects we discuss today in this closed environment will not leave this room at all, do you understand?”
