Andrezj was just in front of Cupid’s face and the female Angel was terrified.
Pablo couldn’t hear Andrezj so he didn’t know what was going on.
Sera could hear Andrezj but she was entirely focused on Pablo so she didn’t pay attention to the male Angel.
Cupid shivered by the intense gaze of the strongest Angel and with nothing else to do, she asked for help.
’Andre is threatening me.’
Pablo slowed down his work.
’What for?’ He asked.
’He is asking how do you have two Egoes?’
’Doesn’t he know why I have that?’
’No. He asked the Gods and the Gods refused to tell him.’
’I see. And since the Gods don’t want him to know about me you also don’t want to tell him. You don’t want to anger the Gods.’
’Yes. But he is pestering me. He is shooting me a glare. What should I do? I can’t tell him about you.’
’Don’t be afraid. He won’t kill you. Goddess Alfida will be mad if he does that. The fear you have for him is his power. Stop the fear and you will strip him of his strength.’ Pablo said and started doing his work at the same speed as before.
Cupid saw a point in Pablo’s words and she took a deep breath.
"Move back first." She said.
"Hmm?" Andrezj didn’t get her.
"Move back I said."
Andrezj gave a slight nod. "Why are you talking back like that?"
"I can talk back but you can’t move back."
Andrezj gave her a look and finally floated away a little from Cupid.
"Now tell me." He said.
"If the Gods didn’t tell you, I won’t tell you as well. And maybe the Enchanted Mirror was broken and showed two colors. He had said this himself." Cupid gave the same answer Pablo had given to Sera when she asked him about his two Egoes.
"The mirror might be broken but I am not. I can sense two Egoes inside him. One is white and one is black. He is no ordinary person. If he was, then Goddess Alfida wouldn’t have sent an Angel for him. Tell me what’s his deal." Andrezj wanted to know desperately.
"You can make your own conclusions. I won’t tell you shit." Cupid was irritated now. Irritation overpowered her fear.
"Tch. The curiosity will kill me like this. Tell me." Andrezj changed his tone.
"Wait. You are asking all this out of curiosity?"
"Of course. Why else will I ask this?"
"I thought you hated him because Sera loves him."
"That is true. I hate him."
"So you are asking about him because you hate him?"
"No. I am just curious. He must be special. Otherwise my dearest wouldn’t have fallen for him. He got a black Ego as well."
"Alright. But whatever it is, I can’t tell you. You have to wait for the Gods to tell you. You know how it is. I am not above them." Cupid said the same thing again.
"What a bother."
Andrezj turned around and went beside Sera again.
Cupid heaved a sigh of relief.
’He was just curious.’ She told Pablo.
’You said he was threatening you.’ Pablo replied. This time he didn’t slow down his work.
’I thought he was threatening me. His gaze was like that. I was writing about how focused you are on your work in my diary and he got curious about it so he asked. He is a nice Angel.’
’Well, I don’t care.’
Pablo stopped talking and Cupid kept writing things.
Sera was watching Pablo and Andrezj was watching Sera.
The slaves paid close attention to Pablo’s work and the ghosts were chilling all around the house.
Time went on like that and after two hours, Pablo finally stopped.
"It’s done." He said.
He laid on the floor. He was tired from all that sitting.
"The floor is hard. Put your head here." Sera spoke.
She was behind Pablo’s head.
Pablo looked at her and she was motioning on her lap.
"No need. I am fine here." Pablo refused.
"Come on." Sera held Pablo’s head with both hands and put it on her lap herself.
’This bitch. She is getting too friendly.’
Pablo didn’t like the situation one bit. He couldn’t threaten Sera as well. The ghosts would start to think he was not a good man as he was pretending to be.
"Isn’t this more comfortable?" Sera asked, smiling.
Her face was above Pablo and Pablo averted his eyes from her happiness filled gaze.
"See the suit, you all." He said.
The slaves nodded and picked up the suit Pablo had created.
"This is heavy and hard. You won’t be able to fight while wearing it. That’s for sure." Nike shared his thoughts.
The suit made from Demonite was not suitable for children and it was all black. It was just like a costume firefighters wear on Earth.
"It is for test purposes only. The real and final suit won’t be made in this house." Pablo replied.
"Okay. So where will the final suit be made then?" Nike asked.
"Time will tell. And Jenny, call all the ghosts up here. The suit is ready."
SWISH!
"Here we are." Jenny appeared instantly as usual.
"The suit is done." Pablo shared the news again.
"We heard that. And aren’t you having fun on that lap?" Plato gave a cheeky smile.
Pablo stared at Plato with a straight face.
Plato’s smile retracted on its own.
"Let’s see the suit everyone."
Plato changed the topic and picked up the newly made black costume.
"It is good. It will be very hard to stay cool if you wear this. Good luck." He said.
Pablo nodded.
The other ghosts also held the suit and they just praised Pablo for creating something like that.
"Alright. That’s enough rest. Let’s get it done." Pablo got up from Sera’s lap.
He stretched his back and held the suit himself.
"Are you going to do it now? At night?" Sera asked.
"The night is about to pass. It’s not that late anymore. It’s early." Pablo answered.
"As you say." Sera also stood up.
Pablo held the Kevlar suit and the Demonite suit and stored it inside his left bracelet.
He then looked at his slaves. "Only me and my assistant will go. You all will stay here. We will come back soon."
The slaves nodded.
Pablo returned the nod.
"Jenny, teleport us to the exit." He said.
Jenny snapped her fingers and everyone in the room got teleported to the main hall of the house.
Pablo and Sera walked towards the door.
"Wait." Jenny called from behind.
Pablo turned around.
Jenny appeared in front of him and out of nowhere, she embraced her arms around Pablo.
’I hate this the most.’
"I am not going for a long time, Jenny. We will come back soon."
Pablo sat on his knees.
Jenny stopped hugging him.
"Please come back soon. I don’t want to lose you." She said.
Pablo smiled. "I will surely come back. I will never die."
"Okay."
Pablo patted her head and stood up.
He waved to all the other ghosts and slaves and turned around.
"Let’s go."

Like that, he finally left the house.
He didn’t look back and kept walking.
He walked and walked until he left the slums as well.
There was no one around to question him so it was rather easy to get out.
The sun was peeking from the clouds and the roads were clear.
Pablo and Sera walked side by side followed by Cupid and Andrezj.
"We will again have to cross the three gates. The roles are the same. I am the detective and you are my assistant. You will stay quiet and if you have to speak, speak as little as possible." Pablo briefied.
"I know. Don’t worry."
Pablo increased his pace and in no time they were in front of the first gate.
Pablo knocked on it and the gate opened.
Five guards were on the other side and Pablo knew them.
"It’s you again, detective." The main guard said.
They also remembered Pablo.
"Yes. I am here for the white mist again. You already knew me. Make us pass." Pablo said.
"We are not fond of wasting time either. You can pass." The guard gave permission and Pablo and Sera crossed the first gate.
They reached the second gate and Pablo knocked on it.
The gate opened and the five guards recognized Pablo and Sera again.
They let them cross but they went through detection doors.
Sera crossed without any problems and when Pablo crossed, the door rang once more.
"Here." Pablo knew the drill so he gave both his bracelets to the main guard himself.
The guard put the bracelets on the machine and soon, a knife came out.
The guard gave back the bracelets and Pablo moved towards the last door.
Pablo didn’t have to knock the door this time as it opened on its own.
The same muscular guard was on the other side. He was the same man who asked Pablo and Sera to punch on the metal slab before.
"It’s us again. You already know our strengths. Let us go." Pablo said.
"When did I stop you? Get lost." The guard moved to the side and Pablo and Sera crossed the third gate as well.
After that, Pablo increased his pace. He wanted to reach the white mist area as soon as possible.
And in thirty minutes, they both reached there.
Pablo stood in front of the white mist and took out the suits.
"It’s risky to go in there." Sera said, worried.
"I know. That’s why…"
Pablo smiled and gave both suits to Sera.
"You are going."
