After the decisive day, everyone was exhausted, especially Ace and Chris after what had happened to them. Everyone was happy, and Jota was distracted, and finally, Jota broke his silence.

  Jota: Chris, I will return to my city. It is better, I could not adapt here.

  Chris looked at Jota and did not know what to say.

  Jota in a sad tone: It is painful to leave you, my brother, but no, I really could not adapt, and since my arrival, I have not provided any benefit. I think in my hometown I will provide a greater benefit to you. But remember, I will not cut off from you when you need me, I will be there.

  Chris hesitated to agree or refuse.

  Chris hesitantly: Alright.... do not cut off from us.

  Jota: I will not forget your favor.

  As Jota was about to leave with his gang members, he stopped and his face changed.

  Jota: Ahhh I forgot, I entered here illegally by Edward’s plane. Whaaat do I do?

  Amid Jota’s tension, one of his gang members, named Jayden, spoke.

  Jayden: Do not worry. During this time, I thought about the same question. It will take a long time, so I decided to learn how to fly Edward’s plane, and I have mastered flying Edward’s plane.

  Chris looked at Edward with suspicion and threat, and noticed Edward’s gaze.

  Edward: Chris, do not worry. I will not crash the plane via a program, and the plane has a system that jams radars so they return safely. Even Skullhead cannot know where the plane is going. Do not worry.

  Chris remained silent and went outside to say goodbye to Jota. All of Jota’s gang members boarded, and Jota stayed outside to say goodbye to Chris.

  Jota: Chris, I apologize. Perhaps I have not given much, but I am still in your team. If you need me, I will return immediately. In the end, you are like a brother to me, Chris, and I will not forget your favor.

  Chris: What are you saying? You have given a lot to the team, and I have not done you any favor, and you say I am your brother? Among brothers, there is no favor.

  Mark came and said goodbye to Jota, and the plane took off and Jota went to his country.

  Mark stood next to Chris.

  Mark: It seems it will rain heavily today.

  Chris: What are you saying? The sky is clear…..

  Chris was silent and kept staring at the plane until it disappeared.

  Chris: True... it seems it will rain heavily.

  After Jota left for his country, Chris and Mark

  decided to walk around the place and chat together.

  Mark: I did not expect you to have a brother... I do not mean anything, but as Black Mask, I did not expect you to have a brother.

  Chris looked at Mark and laughed.

  Mark: What makes you laugh? Did you say a joke or what?

  Chris: Because Jota is not my brother.

  Mark was shocked that Jota was not his brother.

  Mark with shocked eyes: Not your brother! Man, I was affected, I thought he was your brother.

  Chris: He is my friend. I met him during a mission, and I began to consider him like a brother to me.

  Mark: It seems their friendship is strong.

  Chris: Alright, Mark, let’s go back inside. We need to rest after a long day.

  Mark: You are right; we should go.

  Mark and Chris entered the headquarters to take a rest.

  While everyone was resting from the battle and the events that happened in the city, there was someone who had been working the entire time and did not think of resting.

  Raven looked at his arm silently.

  Raven: It seems my brain has responded 100% to my robotic body.

  He began to walk slowly toward his secret lab. No one knows its location except Raven, and if anyone learns about the lab, they die immediately.

  Raven stood in front of his human body, adjusting it. His body was connected to tubes carrying fluids aimed to supply energy to the body.

  Raven: It seems the body will not be ready except after a long time. I cannot wait. Fortunately, I have the robotic body, and my first target will be Edward. He was manipulating me as if I were a puppet in his hand.

  Out of anger, Raven punched the wall, causing fractures.

  Raven: It seems the robotic body is very good. Chris, you are my ultimate enemy. I enjoy seeing your suffering. It is fun, isn’t it, Chris, or Black Mask? But the last piece is missing.

  Raven went to one of the tables, opened the drawer to take out a power-charged stone, and walked slowly. Only the sound of fluids passing through the tubes could be heard. Finally, Raven stood in front of his body, cut open his chest, and took out his heart.

  Raven: I do not need a heart anyway. All I need for life is my brain so I can connect it to any body I want and control the body’s consciousness. But I need the heart to supply energy to the body. I will try later to completely dispense with the heart.

  He held the stone, embedded it in his heart, and put the heart back into his body.

  Raven: The matter of reconnecting the heart to the body is complicated, but I will solve it.

  Raven had five tubes on his left arm and decided to make fifty tubes on his left hand carrying unknown fluids.

  Raven: I will become stronger than before. It is time for the world to know what pain is, the pain they left behind. It is time for the world to know the consequences of their actions, and it is time for the world to know justice.

  Due to the many tubes in Raven’s body, his body size and height increased.

  Raven looked silently.

  Raven: I think it is time to call Skullhead.

  During the time Raven was calling Skullhead, Skullhead was sitting in his office.

  He heard a strange voice speaking to him through the screen in his office.

  Strange Person: How are you, Skullhead? Tell me, are you okay, and have you heard about the city of Valenham?

  Skullhead: Who are you, you evil one, and how are you speaking to me? And why did you not request permission?

  Strange Person laughs: Hahaha, and who are you to request permission? The strong do not request permission. And who am I? You are supposed to know who is calling you.

  Skullhead was shocked and could not speak. He balanced himself and answered:

  Skullhead: You are Raven, right?

  Raven: Hahaha, it seems you are still smart. I know you will ask me how I am still alive. I do not die. I called you to warn you to pay close attention to Chris; he may be your next target. Hahaha, goodbye.

  Raven hung up the line and did not pay any attention.

  Skullhead felt tense, but the feeling did not last long.

  Skullhead: It seems Raven does not know me well, Skullhead.

  After hanging up on Skullhead, Raven began to mock Skullhead.

  Raven: It seems the boy responds with full confidence that he can defeat me? He hasn’t even reached the level of my genius. He trained under Edward and thinks he’s smart. Don’t tease me he won’t reach my level, right, Devil?

  Devil: …
