He looked around, still finding the entire hallway empty. 

'The guards should have stormed by now. There are none here yet. Could they be inside?' Ryder thought as he frowned.

He wondered what he should do. 

'I have two choices at this point. I can try to retreat and succeed, or I can go in to see what they planned. It might even be just my misconception. Maybe they really are too overconfident in their security. Whatever, I should test now that I have a chance,' he thought as he made a determination.

He clenched his fist as he stepped towards the room. 

His hand rested on the trigger, ready to shoot out at a moment's notice.

Stepping inside the room, Ryder looked around. He thought that he would find men standing in the darkness, aiming their gun towards him; however, he was wrong. There was no one there. 

There was a single bed in front of him. It seemed like a person was sleeping on the bed.

'It can't be that simple. There's no way it can be this simple! I don't believe that the guy sleeping there can be Elias,' Ryder thought, frowning as he stepped towards the bed. 

He stopped a few inches away from the bed as he looked around.

"The Bathroom," he muttered as he noticed another room in the door.

He could see specks of lights coming out of the corner of the doors, making it evident that the light inside the bathroom was turned on. 

'Are they hiding there?' Ryder thought as he looked towards the bathroom.

'If they are there, they will barge outside as soon as I remove the blanket of whoever is lying on the bed,' he thought, taking his time to decide what he should do. 

"Fuck it! To hell with these idiots!" Ryder cursed as he decided.

He pulled his second gun out and aimed it towards the bathroom door while he aimed the second gun, which had the silencer, towards the person who was lying on the bed. 

He aimed it towards the legs of the body, lying on the bed. Even though he couldn't see the person because of them being covered inside a blanket, it could expect where the legs were.

Pressing the trigger, he fired a shot towards the body lying on the bed. 

The bullet left the gun and hit the leg of the body on the bed; however, no person screamed or stood up. 

"As expected," Ryder muttered as he sighed. The door didn't open according to his expectations, though. "This isn't a real person."

"No one barged out of the bathroom either. Just why is this whole place like a ghost town at night? Is no one there?" He let out as he frowned.

He stepped towards the door of the bathroom, both of his guns aiming towards the door.

Confusion filled him as he turned to leave the bathroom. "Just what is happening here?" 

Clap! Clap!

While Ryder was wondering what was happening here, he heard a clapping sound.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the old man standing in front of him, clapping.

"Elias," Ryder muttered as he smiled. 

He was finally a little bit relaxed at the sight of normalcy. Until now, everything was going opposite of his expectations. He was feeling worried that no one was there even though he expected a trap. He was confused. Being in front of the enemy was better for him than not understanding anything. 

"Jason Vorhees, what are you doing here? Looking for someone?" Elias asked Ryder.

The man folded his arms as he continued, "Did you really think I can't inquire about Jason Vorhees in Necrosis Corporation? You really underestimated my connections, little guy."

" Can't say I didn't expect that. Why were you hiding, though? Are you really scared of me?" Ryder asked, not trying to attack the man. 

The old man started laughing as he looked at Ryder. He condescendingly said, "Hah, don't overestimate yourself, boy. Do you see any guards? I let them all have a holiday now despite knowing that an enemy is inside. Do you know why? Because I don't want my enemies to use the excuse that they can't succeed because of my guards."

He stopped laughing, but his smile didn't leave his face as he continued, " I can't deny that I was curious to see what your plan to kill was. I must say, I am disappointed. You are probably a newbie in this."

Ryder shook his head as he sighed, "You know what your biggest problem is? You are like a genuine villain. Top overconfident. Not only did you send all your guards away, but you even appeared in front of me. Despite knowing that I'm here to kill you, you didn't kill me instantly."

A smirk appeared on his face, which gave a worried feeling to the old man. 

The Old man shook his head before he humphed. "Don't try to act overconfident. This false confidence can not scare me. If I wished, I could have you dead before you can even blink your eye. The only reason I left you alive is so I can understand who you are and who sent you here. Now get to speaking. Don't expect your guns to be able to kill me. Those toys are useless."

" Whatever the reason, I should still thank you for giving me time to be prepared. As for killing, I didn't even try to kill you yet. Don't you wonder why? Same reason as you. I don't want your life, but I want your answer. Bastion Barrel, does that name remind you of something? Why do you want to kill him? Answer me, and I will let you live." Ryder replied.

" Bastion! So I was right! Who sent you? How did you know it was us? Don't tell me his father found out!" The Old man said as his face turned pale.

He intensely shook his head. "No, no, no! This can't be! If he had known, he wouldn't just send a kid. The whole building would be burning by now. Tell me who sent you?! Who knows!" the Old man roared furiously.

"I am the one asking questions here!" Ryder muttered as he started stepping closer and closer to the man.

"Stay right there! Don't you dare to act brave!" The old man said furiously as he raised his hand.

Ryder smiled as he watched the man react. He opened his lips and let a single word out, "Paralysis."

As soon as the word left his mouth, the raising hand of the man stopped and started falling down instead.

Soon, the old man dropping down to the bed.

"Elias, oh my Elias. You grew old. Your hair turned white, but you didn't gain any wisdom. Did you dye your hair to be white, so people don't consider you stupid? Thanks for taking care of your guards yourself. I brought this item for you only since it can only be used once. I was worried about your guards, but you solved that problem as well," Ryder muttered as he reached out his hand towards the man. 

He caught the collar of the man and closed the door before he dragged the man towards the bed.

He pulled the blanket away, revealing a human-like puppet with a bullet mark near the leg. Ryder tossed the puppet towards the wall and placed the old man on the bed.

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen. One of the biggest assasin came to such a pitiful condition. That's what happens when you're at your own home. Even the most alert person outside is just a careless cat at home," Ryder muttered.

"Now answer me. Why do you want to kill Bastion?" Ryder asked.

The man didn't reply as if he couldn't move his lips.

"Stop pretending. I know all the abilities of what I used. You can move your head and lips. Start speaking," Ryder replied, frowning after not receiving a reply.

"You were right. I'm a novice and not an assassin. You know what that means? I don't have the patience of an assassin," he let out as he pointed his gun towards the legs of the old man.

He moved forward instantly and closed the mouth of the man with his left hand before shooting with his right hand. He shot the kneecap of the old man.

"Mmm!" The old man screamed; however, his muffled noise drowned inside his mouth since he was closed by Lucifer's hands.

"Since you already lost a leg, let's make it even. You can rest your entire life now," Ryder replied before he shot another leg of the man without waiting for even a second.
