Amora made her way to the designated location early in the morning.
The city had been raining cats and dogs over the night.
Thus, one would easily slip and fall should one fail to keep an eye on their steps.
Amora hailed a cab to a supermarket in the central region of the city and saw Akiko as soon as she alighted from the cab.
Akiko stammered at the presence of Amora, "M-Ms.Rory—"
Instead of losing her cool, Amora glared at Akiko in the eyes and asked in a callous tone, "Where's the thing I need?"
Akiko handed over the things she had brought along with her hands shivering against her will.It was evident the antidote was inside the delicate-looking box.
Amora stretched her hands and instructed, "Hand it over to me!"
Akiko turned around with her eyes widened in horror.She started begging Amora, "M-Ms.Rory, can you please hand over the things you have brought to me?"
She was afraid of the things awaiting her should she fail to complete the assigned tasks.
Horrified, her legs started shivering again.
Amora was well aware of the things Akiko had brought up.
Instead of trying to make Akiko's life miserable, Amora handed over the stack of letters to Akiko.
"Is Ken and Hanako your siblings?"
"Y-Yes!"
Akiko retrieved the things Amora brought along and completed the deal.
Similarly, Amora heaved a long sigh of relief when she got her hands on the antidote she needed for her father.
"If that's the case, are you aware of the reason behind your siblings’ demise?"
"H-Huh?"
Akiko looked at Amora in the eyes since Amora brought up an unexpected topic of the blue when they were in the middle of a trade.
Why is she asking the obvious when she's the one who has brought upon their demise? Akiko wasn't as intimidated as she was anymore when she recalled the presence of her deceased siblings.
