Kanji invites the purple-haired Ravyn to go for a walk. She didn’t particularly care about anything until one medicinal root caught her eye. Ravyn walked in to get a feel for it.

*tap*

The other hand touched the same root as Ravyn at the same time as her. That person was a woman in black with falcon-like eyes and a small mouth with bright red lipstick that matched her face perfectly.

"You have good taste, little girl."

She took her hand away from that root after complimenting Ravyn.

"You touched it before me."

Ravyn told her, but she seemed to have lost interest in it.

"But you found it first."

The falcon-eyed woman wore her hoodie and continued walking with a graceful pose like a model.

…This person is so cool…

Ravyn complimented that woman on herself.

"She looks scary."

Kanji spoke of that woman while haggling for 4-toed horse blood at the lowest price.

"You think so?"

After a while, Ravyn finds an opportunity when Kanji goes to the bathroom to find out information about the Donkey, ignoring Airburst’s warning. And it gives an immediate result.

"AAAAH! I’m scared. I’m scared! I’m scared. Please don’t hurt me!"

The person she asked about Donkey screamed, stooped down, and raised her hand, begging for her life. Her terrified reaction prompted the people of the area to realize that a name that shouldn’t have been mentioned had been said. The surrounding people were so noisy that the black market guarding mercenaries had to be stationed. Kanji, who had just come out of the bathroom, was grabbed by Ravyn.

Not far away, a ruckus from panicked people ruined the listeners of Idorund’s cello mood, and they walked away.

"No, my lovely audiences."

An Airburst fella who was disguised as a musician, Idorund, said in a slightly disappointed tone before rushing to the source of the commotion that had just been quiet a few moments ago. Amongst the crowds, he found Kanji with bloodstained hands and Ravyn lying in a pool of blood. Although shocked, Idorund quickly typed some text on the surface of the cannon that was now in the shape of a cello. His cannon then communicated with the AB ring that Ravyn was wearing and checked her real-time status from it. Seeing that she was fine, he walked through the group of people and played along with Kanji to help defuse the situation.

"Haha, that’s what you’ve got from running your mouth thoughtlessly!"

Kanji then acts like he’s the boss, ordering Idorund to carry Ravyn away.

…It’s sticky, gooey… But if it weren’t for Kanji’s 4-toed horse blood to set up this situation, things might get troublesome…

Ravyn, on the back of the Airburst, thought, and then apologized to her team and promised to buy the new tonic for Kanji later on.

At the point where it’s less crowded in the market, the purple-haired girl took off her blood-drenched black suit. The three then gathered at the hall where Aiolia ore was about to come up for auction at the moment.

With only 1 kilogram, this light-weight Aiolia had a diameter of over 40 cm in width and 90 cm in height. This raw crystal has a pearly greenish-white crystal and is now placed on a pedestal in the middle of the auction zone of the black market. Wealthy individuals, mafias, collectors, and others are tightly packed together here. In a few minutes, the bid had been raised to the tens of millions, which is worth enough to buy a private jet. And since the money Idorund had prepared wasn’t enough, Kanji had to back out. The appearance of Airburst would have been inevitable if the VIP negotiator had not been accompanied.

The Blue Stitches auctioned off the Aiolia for nearly 50 million dollars, and now came the moment its rival gang had been waiting for: the declaration of war.The ringleaders of both sides proclaimed debts and grudges against each other as their subordinates prepared their weapons at the ready. The unrelated people ran away in chaos. But before the leaders of both factions gave an attack signal, Kanji walked in to intervene. Ravyn was about to stop him, but Idorund said to trust the boy and let him deal with it from now on.

"I would like to speak to the counselor from both of your groups."

The brown-skinned little Kanji spoke firmly.

"Who the hell is this kid? Drag him out, we’ve had enough with these rogues!"

A man ordered his underlings.

"Do you really want to throw away the lives!!!.. Of all the people you’ve called family right here, right now? Have you, the leader of everyone, thought this through?"

Kanji yelled to stop that big shot from the One-eyed Scarecrow gang and continued with his overly discreet look. That makes one of its executives point a gun at Kanji’s head. But the boy hid his fear so well and didn't flinch. It's a relief that his feat was to their liking.

"You've got a nerve, kid.. Don’t make it too long. Otherwise, the sound of the bullet blowing off your head will signal the beginning of our battle."

Both the One-eyed Scarecrow and the Blue Stitches bosses beckoned to call the gang consultant to Kanji.

After just a few dozen sentences, he got the two rival parties to gradually open up to listening and having a talk.

"…because One-eyed Scarecrow’s boss honors the dignity of your men, so they didn’t tell you Blue Stitches about it... As for the Blue Stitches themselves, even though they were hurt, they never interfered in Scarecrow’s territory, not even once... Now that everything is clear, do you gangsters still want to shed your brothers’ blood in vain anymore?"

Until the dispute from both parties, which was caused by miscommunication, was resolved. This incident favored Kanji because the leaders of these two gangs were once best friends. Plus, both gangs called Kanji 'brother' and gave away Aiolia ore as a gift.

"That’s our Big Bro Kanji."

Idorund said proudly. Ravyn was amazed at his oratorical skills but couldn’t help but worry because everyone could see that Kanji’s legs were still shaking a little even now.

"You're doing great. But isn’t this too risky?"

Ravyn asked with concern. But Kanji said,

"I knew I could handle it. If things get really dangerous, you know I’m the first person to run, haha..."

The boy laughed as he playfully shook his money bag to hear its jingling sound. But in no time, the sound of gunfire jumbled with the screams of the escaped crowd that were being pushed back from every entrance.

"Argh!!!" *RAT* *TAT* *TAT* "Argh!"...

A brutal mass murder occurred. A group of people dressed in black, armed with weapons, surrounded the entire zone. And in the midst of the massacre, one approaching the center of the hall slashed through the two gangs that were preparing to deal with the intruders. A short sword shadow slashed at Kanji’s neck in order to take away the Aiolia ore he was holding. But Ravyn took the side part of her trusty gun to block the edge of that blade and promptly brushed off the hand that was about to grab the ore. Looking at the attacker, she saw a woman with falcon-like eyes and a bright red mouth with a wide grin of excitement.

"Oh? You are able to counter it.~"

The killing intent she released was so intense that it made breathing difficult for Ravyn.

...She's that cool woman I saw at the medicine stall!…
