A glass of red wine, scarlet as blood, gently swayed; moonlight rays painted it a mysterious tint.
The man holding the glass of wine had a scar running across the corner of his eye, but it didn't make him ugly. Instead, when paired with his inscrutable smile, it added a bewitching quality to his looks.
"President, three trucks of supplies and that old woman were all abducted. Also, we can't get into contact with Elder Jin at all..." the Vice President of the Martial Arts Union softly reported to the man sitting on the sofa.
"Meow!"
A big, black cat nimbly leaped onto the sofa and burrowed into the man's arms.
The man placed his wine glass aside, an indescribable smile hanging on his face. "So are you certain it was the Fearless Alliance?"
"Based on my investigation, most likely," the Vice President replied.
"Oh...? Most likely?" The man chuckled airily.
"I'm certain. The culprit was really the Fearless Alliance, but I was unable to find any solid evidence. However, this was the Fearless Alliance's modus operandi and I've investigated the other suspicious factions. All suspicion could be eliminated, except regarding the Fearless Alliance," the Vice President answered truthfully.
"Heh..."
The corners of the man's lips turned up. "I can understand robbing trucks of supplies, but abducting Elder Jin... Now, that's interesting."
"President, I found out that woman went to Scarlet Flames Academy. You know that the headmaster of Scarlet Flames Academy is extremely proficient in hypnosis...? Moreover, that woman hired many high-ranking mercenaries to perform missions for her."
"Are you saying... she's recovered her memory?" the man asked.
"It's uncertain. I just think it's very possible," the Vice President responded after a moment of thought.
"I hope her memory will recover faster. Otherwise, what would the point be?" The man picked up the wine glass again and took a small sip.
