"Keep it steady", said Zephyr as he looked at the slightly greenish hue that was enveloping the man he was about to interrogate. The smile on his face didn't fade as he tested it out by making a small cut on his cheek.

The cut healed instantly, and he did multiple cuts. The speed of healing was slower than before, and the wounds that were formed stung slightly. He winced in pain but didn't run away.

"Perfect, keep it the same until he spills the beans", said Zephyr as he sliced right across his shoulder. Blood began to pour out of the cut, and he clenched his teeth not giving in to the pain.

"So, what is the real reason for this attack? What are you trying to achieve?", he asked in an icy cold voice. The man didn't know what was happening and kept mum, as he knew the moment he opened his mouth, he would lose his life.

"Not going to talk? Oh wait, I almost forgot", he thought as he pulled out a vial from his pouch. He placed it in front of him, and the man looked at it with interest.

"This contains an antidote to the poison that would be administered right after you reveal something about your organization. It is effective, as I have tested it out against many members who had been caught by us in Kyoto", he said with a smile.

The man who had a resolute mind felt tempted to talk, and Zephyr cut right at the elbows and the back of his knees. The pain was too much, and the man began to scream now. 

"No screaming. I can break the antidote any moment", he said as he picked it up and pressed both ends with his fingers, and cracks began to form. The man immediately closed his mouth and endured, as this was the only way for him to live. 

In his eyes, the vial was the only hope for him, and he would do anything to retain his life. That was the kind of man he was, and he opened his mouth to talk.

"The real reason we are here is to cause a ruckus, and reach the center of this place and meet up with some of the best people we have cultivated. If this attack is a success, we would be able to get ourselves more power from the organization", he said.

"What kind of power?", asked Zephyr. He knew of their experiments with Beastmen and the cores of beasts, and he wanted to know if this was related to the same incident.

"I do not know of the name of this power, but it is said to make a human break their limitations and reach a higher class. That is all I know about that", he said. Zephyr was confused when he heard that part.

"What does he mean by breaking limitations?", he thought. He knew that each human had their limits, and through vigorous training, one can overcome their limits, but they will hit a wall no matter how they develop. 

"Does this mean that they have found a way to break it? But there should be no way to do that, for that is the law of Mother Nature", he thought. 

"I know what you're thinking. 'It is the law of nature', am I right? But what are laws for? Aren't they meant to be broken at some point in time?", he said. Zephyr nodded his head, for that did seem reasonable enough to him.

"But what is the method? If I am thinking along the lines of your organization, it should be something sinister and evil", he said. The man shrugged his shoulder and looked at Zephyr with confusion.

"I have not seen the process, thus I do not know. But what I do know is this, the Six Zoo Keepers have been through that process, and they have become much stronger than what they were", he said. Zephyr had a shocked look on his face and threw the kunai right between the man's legs, and it missed by an inch. 

The man sweated profusely as he thought that his manhood would be done for today. The look on Zephyr's face was different from before, the smile had vanished and there was a look of pure anger.

Maxine increased the output of the healing, as the only way Zephyr knew to take out his anger was to injure him to an extent that would take a long time to heal. Zephyr picked up his Kunai and kept it back.

"Seeing as to how you have revealed so much information and the medicine hasn't been activated, it seems like they want me to know of this information. So, tell me this. Will I be able to find the Zoo Keepers here?", he asked as he clenched his fists.

The man nodded his head, indicating that they were here. He also added the point that after he had finished his task, he would meet up with them so that they would be able to return to the building through the teleportation circle in the Zoo.

Zephyr nodded his head, and he walked away from him. He threw the vial on the ground next to his feet and turned around. 

"What is your leader's name? The real name?", he asked. The man's eyes widened and he grabbed the vial quickly before he answered.

"His name is Mat... HAIL THE OMEGA!", he said and fell to the ground. In the few seconds he had, he downed the potion that Zephyr had given him, with the hopes that he would be alive after that.

He felt a searing pain in his heart, and it began to beat rapidly. Adrenaline was rushing throughout his body, and he got up from the ground slowly. 

Zephyr looked at him and had a smile on his face. The man was about to take a step when he began to burn from the inside, and fire enveloped his whole body.

"Try to live a better life next time", he said with a smile as he looked at the burning man who fell to the ground and turned to ashes. The potion he had given was a type that burned their bodies right after it came into contact with the poison that was administered by the organization.

"Vanessa, I want to talk to my Dad. Is that possible for you?", he asked. She nodded her head and indicated that it was possible, as long as she was in range with the person. She tried and couldn't reach anyone.

"Seems like we need to go further, as your Dad seems to be out of range", she replied to him after multiple attempts. He sighed as he looked at Jasper, as he knew he was much slower in the morning.

He looked around and saw a forest, and walked into the shades of the trees. Jasper's speed turned to normal, and the group began to run straight, while Zephyr was holding a compass in his hands for direction.

After running for a few minutes, they came across a village which was deserted just like the ones before. He was thinking about where everyone was, and that was when he remembered something.

"But that place can't hold the whole Kingdom! It isn't that large, and I am sure the nobles wouldn't sit around allowing Dad to develop something this big", he thought as he was running much faster than before. 

His speed didn't slow down and began to pick up, as he saw nothing in the vicinity. Not one soul was in sight, and even the houses had been cleaned up very efficiently.

"It seems like my guess was right. Just when did Dad make something like this? And the resources must have cost a lot", he began to calculate the amount that must have taken from the Treasury.

"It's not that we lack money or anything, but if it was to save the lives, then I am sure not just dad, even I would spend the money in a heartbeat", he concluded from his research. He turned around and looked at Vanessa.

"Can you try now?", he asked. She tried once more, and she could connect it to someone in the vicinity. But it wasn't Ben, and Zephyr was taken aback.

"Maybe I should just call him", he thought as he pulled out his GlassPad. He was about to call him, but he heard footsteps from behind him.

He placed it back inside and looked around. His senses were telling him to run, but he didn't and pulled out his sword and Kunai. The others did the same, with Jasper in the center of them all due to him being weakened.

From the shadows stepped out a team of Beastmen, and Zephyr had a smile on his face. 

"And I was just getting bored with all this silence", he said as he looked at the number of people that had surrounded him.
