Raymond looked at the door silently at first. Then she looked at Xingming's clothes. After stopping for a while. He went to the door and opened it himself.

As he opened the door, the cold wind outside rushed in. Her green hair fluttered. Caught off guard, he could not protect his eyes from the cold wind. His eyes were burned. So he paused. He wanted to cry.

When Raymond opened the door, he saw a tired face. This tired man in gray robes was looking at Raymond with a relaxed expression.

"Finally, there's really someone here." Raymond heard the man talking to himself. He was muttering something. But it was inaudible.

"Sir?" Raymond couldn't help but ask.

The man in the gray robes came to his senses as if he had seen Raymond then. He put a smile on his face and spoke.

"Oh, you must be Master Lin, right?"

'Master Lin?' Raymond muttered to himself. 'He was Master Lin now, huh.' He shook his head positively.

"My name isn't that important. I'm just a little maid. I've come to give you ownership of this hill. Please hold out your hand." At this point, he tucked his hand inside his robe.

Raymond was still holding back from crying. 'damn wind.' He calmly extended his hand.

The gray-robed man took out a black bracelet from his robe. Raymond, before you even know what's going on. He snapped the bracelet onto Raymond's wrist with a 'click' sound.

Then he explained briefly.

"This bracelet will sign your spiritual energy. And it is a spiritual device that you can use to access all kinds of knowledge of the hill. Bla, bla bla bla... Double click on it to use it. It will open. Then this little maid is done here. Permission?"

Raymond couldn't focus very much on what he was saying. He just wanted to close the door quickly. He unconsciously agreed.

Hearing his permission, the gray-robed man smiled again. He bent down and left. He could still be heard muttering something complaining as he walked away.

Raymond quickly shut the door. He covered his eyes with his hand. And rubbed. He hasn't turned back yet.

As he turned, he remembered what the man had said. He clicked the bracelet twice. A hologram formed on the bracelet. There were many windows. Without looking at another one. A window filled with exclamations glowing with red light opened. It was written on the window:

"13 days left until the closure of the hill. Please pay your debt."

Below it was written the amount of debt. Raymond's eyes were watery so he couldn't see the exact amount. But he could see that there were a lot of zeros. He felt a headache. He complained to himself. 'A debt again!'

But then he immediately remembered. It wasn't his debt. This was the Lin family's debt. It shouldn't have anything to do with him

But he didn't know how to contact the Lin family or the company. They had only given Xingming with him. They sent him here in haste.

He was eating ramen in a small shop just two days ago. These things were too much for him. Everything had happened at once.

That's why he decided to leave the job to Xingming. She would contact the Lin family and settle the debt. Anyway, it wasn't his problem.

He covered his eyes with his hand. He didn't want Xingming to see him cry. He felt embarrassing, even if only his eyes were wet from the wind.

He extended his arm. He showed Xingming the splendid window protruding from the bracelet.

"You can handle this, right? I'm going to get some rest." He then quickly returned to his room without looking at Xingming.

He decided to sleep for the day. He decided to leave everything else to Tomorrow Raymond. Tomorrow Raymond would take care of things for him. He believed.

Xingming looked at the figure who had hurried up the stairs. She wanted to cry but there were no tears in her eyes. She was relieved and stinky and upset at the same time. She was in a turmoil of emotions.

She was upset because they were in huge debt.

She was scared because she didn't know how to find so much money.

She was relieved because she knew that this was punishment for her previous behavior. She was relieved that there was a punishment.

There was also some admiration in her. She thought that besides giving such a cruel and severe punishment so easily, the young master was actually testing her abilities.

She stood still for a while. She slowly looked at the burning wood. 'Why is there a fireplace here?' she thought too.

Then she quickly went to her room. She had to come up with a plan. She had a lot of work to do. AND she only had 13 days.

...

It is also considered the capital of the government, by the way. With many large families. In Kyoto, known as the place where secret organizations run, a large building was on fire.

There were many eyes watching the fire. Some were sad, some scared, some happy.

This was because this burning building belonged to an organization well known in Kyoto: Bi-flag.

And precisely because of this, although there were many 'Awakens' who could put out the fire, no one was touching the fire.

About an hour ago there was a rush inside this building. Many employees were running around. Some officials, on the other hand, were barking orders at the employees. There was a constant flow of items from the building. Important tools and more were taken out and transferred to other places by vehicles.

In this rush, a man walking calmly with a handbag in his hand drew attention. This man was wearing a suit similar to the other employees. But there was no ID card on his outfit.

He came to a metal door. He extended his hand. A circle grew from his hand and settled in the door. After a while, the automatic door opened with some electric arcs. It looked like it was broken.

The man entered. It was a little cold inside. There were rows of chests of drawers. Some were open, some were locked, and some were ripped out.

The gray-haired middle-aged man in this suit walked slowly to the end of the room. He didn't even glance around.

There was a panel at the end of the room. It was pretty solid. It had some strain marks on it. But obviously it was not opened.

The man extended his hand as he did the door. A blue circle protruded from his hand and blended into the panel.

A few noises and electric arcs came out of the panel. But it didn't open.

The man frowned. This time he put his hand on the panel. He took a deep breath. A circle spread over the panel from his hand. but this time it was red.

The man's face was wrinkled, as if he was struggling to do so. After a while, the panel opened with a 'cis' sound. Blue smoke flowed from the panel into the room.

Inside were three tubes. A red liquid was flowing inside the tubes. It was constantly going back and forth.

"What?"

He gave his first real reaction when he saw that only three of the four tube slots actually had tubes.

Still, he didn't stay still for very long. He quickly put his bag near the panel and opened it. He took a tube from inside and put it in his bag. After closing and locking his bag, he took the remaining two tubes and smashed them. The red liquid in them began to flow down his hand. The liquid metal started to catch fire as it touched the panel.

As the flames slowly spread, the man came out with his bag in his hand. It left traces of flame behind it as it moved forward. Red liquid was dripping from his hand. Flames appeared on the ground.

When he got out of the building, a car was waiting for him. There was no longer any liquid dripping from his hand.

He got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. There was another person in the driver's seat. He looked at him and spoke.

"I think you're done. Any problem?"

"One of the tubes was removed." The gray-haired man replied.

The man in the passenger seat looked at the man next to him in surprise. "What? That's impossible. I'm past knowing it's here. No one else can get in there but you. How is it possible?"

"I don't know either. Just drive, Pochiro." The gray-haired man replied with a troubled expression.
