Saying so, John Smith started digging and have Yukime return to the capital once .

The final expression of kindness on Gettan's face bring back a nostalgic memory .

Yukime took a night's rest in the capital, she used the real banknotes to exchange it back to gold coins and return to the hideout .

Her wound was healed by John Smith . That ugly scar on her back had disappeared beautifully .

Her physical and mental wound healed, she now truly believe that everything is over . It was supposed to, but the word [Cult] Gettan mentioned still linger in her ears .

What has caused him to change .

Does my revenge really over with this?

What if Gettan was only being used... and the real enemy is still out there .

Arriving at the hideout, she carry the gold coins and headed to the vault only to be surprised by its contents .

[This is...]

The inside was completely empty .

A woman in black appears without a sound from behind Yukime who is tilting her head .

[You are Yukime of the Yukikitsune Company right...… . or should address you as one of the pillar of the Lawless City instead .

[————!?]

When Yukime looked back, she saw a beautiful elf with platinum hair .

[You are?]

Yukime asked, preparing to pull her iron fan out at any time .

[I am Alpha . One of the Shadow Garden . If you reacted like that, he still hasn't told you right?]

[Alpha... . . ]

Yukime known that John Smith/Shadow is the head of Shadow Garden .

However, he never talked about Shadow Garden with her before . Come to think of it, it was weird .

[You are his collaborator… . . and the one Gettan from the Great Commerce a.s.sociation loved right... . ]

[What do you want to say . ]

[First, I was thinking about handing this letter to you . The seal has already been opened, but I thought it was a good idea to hand it to you . ]

[This is... . ?]

What Alpha took out was an old letter .

[The a.s.sociation will collapse today . Before that happen we have to retrieve what we can . This was found in Gettan's room, his letter to you...No, you could call it his testament . ]

[Gettan's... . ]

Yukime received the letter and start reading .

The first thing that surprised her was its messy handwritings . Despite his blindness he must written this letter alone without relying on others . From the messy handwritings Yukime could feel his trace and his warmth .

That letter began with the remorse he felt for Yukime and his hometown and how he curse his own weakness .

Then, she found a surprising fact written inside .

[The cult of Diablos… . ]

That was the ident.i.ty of the one that changed Gettan .

After reading the letter, Yukime raised his face and looked at the alpha .

[I am also a person of the lawless city . I already have an information that there's an organization that is lurking in the shadow . ]

[That's the cult of Diablos . And, it is what Shadow Garden has been fighting against . Of course he… . Shadow too...… . ]

[John-han too... . ]

[He must have noticed the fact that you have crossed path with the cult in the past . That's why he show you the way to help you out of your ruin . ]

[Ruin? What are you talking about . ]

Alpha smiled .

[You see, Mitsugos.h.i.+ Company was actually a front of Shadow Garden . ]

[——–!? Don't tell me!]

From the beginning, Everything is already placed on his palm .

That day——the moment Yukime talked with Shadow in the Lawless City, he already predicted the ruin of the Great Commerce a.s.sociation and Yukime's .

But he showed her the way to avoid it .

He rescued her and pointed at the way for her to face her true enemy .

[Everything John-han did was...]

[Sorry, but we already retrieved all the gold here . ]

[… . So that's why Mitsugos.h.i.+ Company's credit still hasn't collapse . ]

[Moreover we have acquired the a.s.sociation's businesses and established ourselves in the absolute possition . ]

[Everything was as John-han… . . No, Shadow-han predicted right . ]

[It fine even if you regarded his as a traitor . He will accept even that, but before that, I want you to think carefully about the path that he have shown you . ]

Yukime shook her head .

[I have no intention to do that . Speaking of which, the one who suggest that we lay our hand on Mitsuhos.h.i.+ Company first is me . Crus.h.i.+ng me is but a simple task for Shadow-han right? . ]

[That's true . ]

[I was save by Shadow-han . This fact doesn't change . And I hate the cult of Diablos . My revenge will not be over until the cult of Diablos is completely destroyed . ]

Alpha nodded to Yukime's word that is full of determination .

[We to, are ready to accept you . If it is alright with you, we want you to continue leading your Yukikitsune Company and partner with Mitsugos.h.i.+ Company to do the thing we couldn't do in the Lawless City . ]

[Understood . You want Mitsugos.h.i.+ Company to be the front and our Yukikitsune Company in the back… . right?]

[He already prepared for that . The juggernaut of the Lawless City has disappeared, you are now the strongest in the Lawless City . ]

[Wha, to think that he read it that far ahead… . . So everything is truly on the palm of Shadow-han… . . ]

[Yes, truly… . ]

Yukime and Alpha smiled with the same expression on their face .

Both of their face are filled with the admiration from the bottom of their heart .

[We will be in you care . ]

[We too will be in your care . But this is terrible, to think that there would be so many people that are important to him...]

[What do you mean exactly?]

[It's a story from our side . Well, I will entrust the remaining gold coins to you then . ]

[Thank you . First, after we have overcome the credit collapse we will send help to your Yukikitsune Company later . ]

And they left the hideout while talking about the future . ]
