In the warehouse, ck Hawk suddenly got a call from his agent.


    "Sir, Alucard has entered the den."


    "Good, lead him here," ck Hawk said before he cut the contact and smiled at Amon and others. "He ising here. Hahaha, once I get what I want, I''ll release you."


    Amon and the others frowned but said nothing. They didn''t know what to say.


    Five minutester, ck Hawk got a message that Alucard had arrived outside the warehouse.


    "Good, he''s here," ck Hawk coldly smiled as he walked towards the closed entrance of the warehouse and cracked a gap in his curse-type magic before opening the door.


    "Wee, Alucard. I suppose you went incognito after handing over that crystal to the government, eh?" ck Hawk said as he saw Alucard and his agent entering the warehouse. After they entered, he closed the door and filled the gap in his magic spell.


    "I''m here, so let them go," Zevien said inly, showing no emotions.


    "Oh, yeah?" ck Hawk smiled. "You are in no position to demand anything. Just answer a few questions and die. After that, I will release them."


    The face of Amon and others became grave because that means that they will also die after he killed Alucard.


    "I won''t speak of anything unless you let them go," Zevien said firmly.


    "Well, you don''t get to decide that," ck Hawk uttered coldly as he waved his hand.


    "Urgh…," Zevien groaned painfully as a ck crystal stabbed in his shoulder.


    *Puchi…*


    "T-this…," Zevien was shocked as he directly spewed blood.


    "It looks like you have high pain tolerance, hahaha. Well, how about this?" ck Hawkughed as he waved his hand again, and Zevien saw three ck shes before…


    "Arghhhhhhh!!"


    Both of his shoulders and ankles got pierced with ck crystals. Blood oozed out profusely as Zevien felt extreme pain coursing through his body because of those ck crystals.


    "They are my favorite torturing tools, you know?" ck Hawk gestured with his finger and controlled those ck crystals as they brought Alucard in front of him.


    *Snap!*


    ck Hawk snapped his finger as those ck crystals pulsed with magic power and slightly glowed before sending waves of pain into Zevien''s body.


    "Arghhhhhhhhhhh!" Zevien screamed in pain again as he felt a sharp stabbing like thousands of needles were piercing his bones and flesh inwardly.


    "S-stop…," Zevien raised his head slightly as he looked at ck Hawk, his eyes red.


    ck Hawk raised his eyebrows. Instead of seeing fear in Alucard''s eyes, he saw anger and coldness.


    Before ck Hawk could torture Zevien again, his secretmunication device vibrated slightly.


    ''Supreme Leader?'' ck Hawk picked up the call in their temporary private channel after creating a barrier around him.


    Yowen and Electra, who had the entire ck Star area under their radar, quickly noticed the signals that suddenly formed and started tracking them.


    Supreme Leader—, "The esteemed guest from Astral Land is here. Finish your work and return. If you can get that stolen X-Door crystal, then bring it back so we can keep one while giving one to the guest."


    ck Hawk—, "I''m not sure if I can bring back the X-Door crystal, but I will try."<novelnext></novelnext>


    Supreme Leader—, "You should be here in five hours. If you can''t get the X-Door crystal, it''s fine. But you must return here in time."


    ck Hawk—, "Got it. I will be there in time."


    After cutting off the call, ck Hawk removed the barrier around him and turned off the device to break the signal before looking at Alucard. "If you want your life, then return the X-Door crystal."


    "First, l-let them go," Zevien said with a bloodied grin on his face as blood oozed out of his mouth.


    Amon and the others couldn''t bear to see Zevien''s torture.


    …


    "Hmmm, are you sure it''s the Blood Sun Organization?" Headmaster Noril asked as he rested his hands on the table.


    Vernisia, Erica, and Dan stood in front of him while Headteacher Karina stood beside them.


    "We are not sure, but there''s a high chan-" Vernisia was interrupted by a sound from her Digi-watch. She saw it was Yowen and looked at the Headmaster. "I will have to pick up this call."


    "Go ahead," Headmaster Noril nodded.


    Vernisia epted the call and put it on the loudspeaker since she knew that if Yowen called, it should be rted to their situation, and if the Headmaster heard it directly, he would believe more.


    Yowen—, "We found it. The ones behind the kidnap are indeed from the Blood Sun Organization. We found their location as well!"


    "What?!" Headmaster Noril stood up, as he was not expecting to hear such tremendous news.


    Headteacher Karina was startled as well and approached Vernisia. "Where is it? Send her the coordinates."


    "Yowen! Quickly send the coordinates," Vernisia quickly followed up after Karina.


    Yowen—, "Sent!"


    Vernisia opened the message and showed it to Karina while asking Yowen. "What is the situation in the city?"


    Yowen—, "Last thing Electra saw before tracking the signal was a person with a ck outfit and mask torturing Zevien. Nothing happened to your or Erica''s parents."


    "Zevien…We have to get him and the others out of there!" Vernisia''s eyes teared up. She knew that her relic will save Zevien one time, but if he couldn''t escape from that ce, ck Hawk could''ve killed him again. The relic would basically revive him, but if he cannot get away…


    Yowen—, "Don''t worry. He''s not alone. Now I''ll hang up."


    "Master, here are the coordinates. Their base is in the forbidden zone, White Coffin. Damn it, how did they make their base there?"


    Headmaster Noril took the coordinates and looked at Vernisia, Erica, and Dan with a solemn expression. "You don''t know yet how valuable this is, and for that, I will make a personal trip to your city and save your parents and that student."


    "Master?" Karina was startled.


    However, Headmaster Noril was no longer in the room as he disappeared after a brief silver sh.


    Vernisia, Erica, and Dan were shocked.


    "Come and sit," Karina wryly smiled as she sat down at the table. "You don''t have to worry anymore."


    "Teacher, how strong is the headmaster?" Dan asked.


    "His strength? Well…"
