’Of course you would create a bomb. Can’t you give a normal answer for once?’ Cupid had a feeling Pablo would give an answer like that.
"Why would you create a bomb?" Sera asked.
"Just because." Pablo had no special reason.
"Do you really know how to create a bomb? How did you even learn it in the slums?"
"No. I don’t know. I will learn it from someone if I get a chance." Pablo lied. He knew how to make bombs, he just didn’t want to explain to Sera how he knew that.
"Someone like that will be hard to find. But I will do my best to help you."
"Forget it for now. Stay quiet."
Pablo and Sera reached the gates from where they came.
The first gate was the same gate where they punched the slab of metal.
The muscular man was there and Pablo didn’t know what was the process of leaving the city.
But he didn’t stop walking until he reached the gate.
As soon as they stood in front of the gate, it opened.
Pablo looked at the guard.
"You can go. No checking for the returners. Go through all of them." The guard revealed.
’Nice.’
Pablo nodded at the guard and crossed the gate.
Sera followed him.
Pablo reached the second gate where his bracelet was checked.
The second gate opened but Pablo didn’t cross it right away.
He looked at the main guard.
"Can I have my knife back?"
"Oh. Are you short of knives, detective?"
"I am."
"Heh. Here." The main guard threw the knife at Pablo.
Pablo caught it and with Sera, crossed the second gate as well.
Now the last gate was in front of them and it opened without a hitch.
Pablo wasted no time with the guards there and crossed the late gate as well.
Now they were officially out of Glory city.
Pablo increased his pace as he didn’t want the guards to hear him talking.
"Why are you walking so fast? I don’t want to run." Sera was having a hard time matching Pablo’s strides.
"I just want to get away from the guards. Extra caution is a must in such things."

"Yes. But the guards are away now. You can slow down."
"I can do that, I guess."
Pablo slowed his speed and Sera came beside him.
"Why do you have problem in running though? Aren’t you strong? You did damage to that metal slab." Pablo asked.
"Stamina, speed and strength are different things. Higher rank Ego gives strength but not other things. We have to develop it ourselves." Sera explained.
"Right. I forgot."
’You didn’t even know that. Don’t say you forgot.’ Cupid chimed in.
’I can’t just say I don’t know. She will become suspicious. I mean, who would believe that I don’t know about how Egoes work which is the main thing of this World.’
’Right.’ Cupid stopped talking.
"Speaking of metal slab, how did you use your full strength and not do any damage to that thing? You have the strongest rank possible." Sera asked a genuine question.
"I acted like I used my full strength. I broke my wrist myself."
"Oh. So you can fake something like that as well. And I wanted to ask, how do you have two Egoes? That doesn’t make sense."
Pablo shrugged. "I don’t know. Maybe the Enchanted mirror was broken and it showed a white color first by mistake then showed a black one to correct it."
"So you don’t have two Egoes? Andrezj can’t be wrong though. He told me himself."
’She is persistent.’
"I don’t want to talk about it. Leave this topic. My Ego is my business." Pablo had no way to defend the theory of him having two Egoes logically. He would just avoid the topic.
"Sure."
"And I want this to remain secret that the mirror showed me two colors. Only Flashy and Draxus know it and I would like to keep it that way. Alright?"
"As you say, dear."
Sera agreed and crossed arms with Pablo.
"No touchi-"
"Move out of the way, love birds."
A carriage came running in front of Pablo and Pablo moved to the side.
"He will be so happy."
"Let us go. Please."
Pablo heard some voices from inside the carriage as it went past him.
But those voices made Pablo stare at the carriage.
"What happened? Did you like the carriage?" Sera asked.
Pablo didn’t reply and he also uncrossed his arms with Sera.
"That carriage shouldn’t move further." Pablo locked eyes with the carriage and took out the knife from his bracelet.
Then, he raised it in the air, closed one of his eyes and…
FWISH!
He threw the knife.
After three seconds…
"Anghhhhh!!"
THUMP!
A scream resounded in the empty road and a loud noise came as well.
Sera looked at what Pablo had done and she frowned.
Cupid also saw it and her eyes went wide.
Andrezj also raised his brows.
"Who is this man?" He could only ask that.
"Ask the Gods." Cupid replied.
"I sent them a message. They aren’t talking to me."
"Then I can’t help you."
The Angels stopped talking and Pablo started his walk.
But he wasn’t going forward. He was going back the way he came from.
Sera followed him. She was curious to see what Pablo had in mind.
They both walked in silence and in ten seconds, they arrived at the scene.
A carriage was laid upside down and a man had a knife stuck on his forehead, its tip piercing the back of the head.
Pablo sat on one knee and took back his knife. It was his knife.
And he killed the driver of the carriage by his marksmanship. He aimed the knife at the driver from far and it hit bullseye.
"But why did you kill him though? Just because he called us love birds?" Sera guessed the reason.
"No. Just wait and see for yourself."
There was only the driver and the upside down carriage in front of Pablo and Sera.
Sera wanted to ask more but the carriage moved and a hand came out of it.
After that, a full fledged person came out.
"What the hell even happened?" The person complained.
He completely came out of the upside down carriage and stood in front of Pablo.
Both of their heights were the same.
"Who is he?" Sera asked Pablo.
Pablo clenched the knife tighter.
"He is the real supplier of Lord Bitter."
