"Azure Tortoise? Hmm . . . this might take me a while . " Ai admitted .

Infiltrating Azure Tortoise's system is tough, but not impossible .

Her system's defense and firewall is top notched—probably equal to White Bird's—that it'll take Ai a week to completely have access to it, without being noticed .

That d.a.m.n reptile have a hard sh.e.l.l to crack, hence her t.i.tle 'Azure Tortoise' .

"Don't worry, I will have my people help you . " She might need Red Raven and Haruka's help for faster results .

"En!" Ai nodded, animated fire appeared on her eyes .

Ethan and Lillie stayed inside the laboratory for a couple of hours as they discussed their plan with Ai .

Lillie called the Elders for an emergency meeting at White Bird's base .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

They switched the car to one of Ethan's big bikes, that he always kept in his laboratory for some certain purposes .

Then, Lillie changed into a black, body fitting, turtleneck sweater and a plain white jeans . She discarded her high heels and changed into a pair of flats that she had on the car .

Lillie tends to bring a pair comfortable shoes since she's always wearing heels . Even for her, wearing high heels all day beats her feet into a b.l.o.o.d.y pulp .

Ethan casually removed his blazer and tie, leaving him with his black s.h.i.+rt, then topped it with a leather jacket and pairing it with a worn out jeans . The clothes were from his Vermillion Dragon days—fortunately, it did not have an insignia .

Since he came from the office yesterday, Ethan was wearing his oxford shoes . To change, he wore a pair of worn out, white vans—that dated back to his high school years .

They were really uncomfortable, since he's bigger now . Regardless, he cannot risk being identified because of some d.a.m.n shoes .

She Gu and Azure Tortoise's people might be everywhere, still looking for them .

Lillie did not brought her phoenix mask, nor did Ethan brought his . They ended up wearing full face helmets with black, tinted visor .

As long as they cover their faces, they're good to go .

Before leaving, Lillie bid her farewell to her pseudo daughter . "See you later, Ai . "

"Hm! I'll see you at the base!" Ai happily waved her hands . The monitor turned off, as well as the lab's light .

The big bike roared into life when Ethan turned on the switch . Lillie sat behind him, wrapping her arms around his hard abdomen .

"Ready?"

"En . "

The wheels screeched through the pavement as they zoomed out of the forest and through the highway .

Since they drove off into a different city, it will take them hours to reach White Bird's base . Eventually, they needed to stop and take a break from time to time .

"This has been one of the most troublesome days I've ever experienced . " Lillie grunted, as they stopped on a gas station .

Chuckling, Ethan patted her head affectionally . "Hang in there . We'll arrive soon . "

As they were waiting for the gas to fill the tank, the convenience store in the gas station caught Lillie's attention .

Ethan followed her line of sight . "You want to buy something?" He asked .

"I'll be back in a bit . " She said, without waiting for his response .

Ethan blinked, puzzled .

"Ah, ma'am, you cannot enter the store wearing your helmet—" The guard was immediately left speechless when Lillie showed him a badge .

The guard soundlessly opened the gla.s.s door for her . His hands shook in fear at the familiar item, and knew clearly that he should leave her alone .

Official members of the Underworld each have an item so that they could be identified as one .

For example, Lillie showed him a black badge that was shaped as a skull with horns sprouting on its head .

That badge is also known as the Devil's ticket .

High ranking members of the Underworld have them, and only four individuals are known to posses one .

How did he knew this? Well, Demons are everywhere, and anyone .

Some choose to hide their ident.i.ties, while others don't .

Like this guy Lillie was approaching inside the store .

"What are you doing here?"
