Carlo looked at Oliver, and tried to assess him. The kid in front of him was so carefree, it seem like Carlo's reputation hadn't even faze the young man. Carlo grabbed his cane, he wanted to test Oliver, by scratching him a bit, using his sword.

Oliver who had already imagined this kind of talk in a coffee shop with a similar kind of scenario multiple times in his head, also each time he was imagining it he was talking with different characters. This made Oliver ready to say a bunch of stuff depending on what Carlo said or did.

So when he saw Carlo grip his cane, Oliver chuckled.

"What are you going to do now? Hmm, are you going to test me, by attacking me with that sword of yours disguised as a cane? Well of course, now that I said it out loud, you wont do it anymore, since you think the element of surprise is gone. Also don't bother doing your next move, which is most probably ordering the men you have inside this mall, to shoot me with tranquilizers. Oh I'm sorry that I said that out loud. You see Mr. Carlo I have been in many similar situations, so it's going to be a very difficult task for you, to try to catch me off guard."

Carlo looked at Oliver, stunned. It was like Oliver could read his mind. Was every move he made really so predictable? This was the first time he ever met Oliver, and vice versa this was the first time Oliver met him. So then why is it, he who was a much more experienced merc, was having trouble reading his opponent, who has live less than half the amount of time he has. Even more surprising was this opponent could read him like an open book.

Carlo looked at the time, and the end was of the bet was nearin. He had no time for this charade, so Carlo raised his hand and did some weird hand signs that look like they had no meaning. This was the secret code Carlo and his men used that even Alex didn't know about.

He basically told his men, to not bother with Oliver, which was so clearly the distraction, and just find the two Amamamis that are hiding in this mall.

"Sending a secret signal to your men. You do know it's pointless now. No matter what you do at this point, we basically won already." Oliver proudly declared, which made Carlo frown.

"Kid, I know that you are my son's friend and all that crap, and I do know you think your some hot shot merc, but let me advise you, stop talking like you're looking down on me. If you don't stop, then it doesn't matter if your from this so called Shadow Mercenaries, or that you are my son's comrade in arms. I will discipline you in such a way, that you would regret ever living in this world." Carlo who was backed into a corner, nearing the moment of his loss was a getting a tad angry at Oliver.

He was even openly directing his bloodlust at Oliver, who simply mistook it as a sudden chill, which basically didn't bother him. Though it did bother him a little that his friend's dad was looking a bit angry at him. But he got over it the moment he remembered that they were in some sort of game and this was all just role playing.

'Alex's dad is really good at this. I better up my game as well.'

Oliver unaware of the dangerous situation he was in, continued to drink his coffee without a care in the world.

"Why are you so angry? Is it because I told the truth? Also please don't threaten me like that, it just makes you look like a sore loser. Oh well, I guess it's about time anyway, so I guess I can just tell you. The people you are looking for are not here."

When Carlo heard Oliver's statement he was about ready to strike, but then he stopped himself, when he heard what he said in the end. He looked at Oliver and asked , "why should I believe you?"

"I don't need to answer that question. It really doesn't matter to me if you believe me or not. So it's your call."

It was at this moment, Carlo had a sudden realization. He had looked into this too deeply, what if everything was as simple as it sounded. That would mean... Carlo felt like he wanted to slap himself in the face, but he hadn't much time.

"Oliver the next time we meet you better improve your manners." Without waiting for a response, Carlo left the table.

...

Once Carlo got outside he was met with the leader of Team Alpha, who was restraining a man. "Sir, we have located Kenzo Amamami." Yes the man who was here right in front of him was Kenzo Amamami.

"Good job, bring him back to HQ. I'll be going back first."

"Sir, won't we search for the other target?" The leader of team Alpha, was confused. Since he was pretty certain the remaining target Seiji Amamami, was the third person in the group that entered the mall.

"No need, the other target is back in HQ. Isn't he Kenzo?" Carlo looked at kenzo, who didn't answer. Well Carlo didn't even bother to wait for a reply, and simply ran off into his car. He still had time to get home, and will have only a few more minutes too spare.

While driving back, Carlo contacted the head butler.

"Simon, you didn't give me a report, so I'm guessing Alex didn't do anything out of place."

"Yes, he simply stayed in his room." Carlo, who heard this answer felt even more sure now. Even his stoic son Alex, who could keep cool in almost any situation, wouldn't just do nothing. This could only mean, he was so sure of his victory that it he didn't bother anymore.

"Simon, did you do that thorough sweep of the mansion, like I asked?"

"Yes sir, we checked every place, every corner of the mansion, even the underground passageways, as well as that 'room', but we couldn't find anything out of place."

"Did you check even Alex's room? As well as Lilitth's?"

"Sir those were the two rooms we checked first. We even actually searched everything thrice, just to be sure."

"That's all I need to know. Just keep your eyes glued to Alex."

After hanging up the phone, Carlo smiled since he finally figured it out. He finally knew where Seiji Amamami was hiding.
