After leaving Alchos, Shaun immediately called Loid and reported the situation.
"Station someone at Alchos to keep tabs on Venom. He must be in there somehow," Loid remarked curtly before hanging up.
Shaun stared at his phone and fell into deep thoughts. Daniel looked at him. "What did Loid say?"
"He wants us to monitor Alchos because Venom is surely there." Glancing in the direction of Alchos with furrowed brows, Shaun grumbled, "I looked high and low in Alchos. Venom is definitely not there. What is Loid trying to do?"
After some silence, Daniel slapped the car door when a thought occurred to him. "Ah, I recall it now! Hawk of Alchos is a famous makeup artist. She can make someone look entirely different with her exceptional skills."
Rubbing his chin, Shaun mused, "Hm, that reminds me of something. We once requested Hawk's services to disguise Ken for his safe return to the country."
"That's right! Hawk would definitely be willing to help Venom, who's one of the Elite Four. Besides, I heard that she's in town lately," Daniel agreed excitedly.
"But how can we tell Venom apart if Hawk is skilled in the art of disguise?" Shaun pointed out a concern.
Daniel opined, "A man can take on many faces, but his mannerisms will not change. Venom is in the weapon trade business, and he's one of the big bosses in Emerald Delta. He has a ferocity within him that's not seen in ordinary Alchos employees."
Shaun clapped his hand. "That's perfect! I'll dispatch some men to keep guard at Alchos. I don't think Venom can get away this time. I'll fucking nab this bastard!"
After that, he immediately made calls to set up the arrangements.
