“Sure, go ahead. Haven’t heard that name for quite a while” said Thompson with politeness.

Gabi quickly started relaying the events that unfolded before. About Kenji’s attempt at kidnapping her, Serena and Kenji’s fight and his motive for doing all that.

“Darn, that bastard. You’re okay, right Gabi? Do you feel any strange effect left from that knock out?” said Diego with concern.

“I-I’m fine. I feel perfectly fine. It’s just that I actually feel really bad for him” said Gabi somberly.

“It can’t be helped. Everyone is having their own problem in this game” said Serena.

“Shouldn’t we help him? He is a friend, afterall” said Gabi.

“You could have agreed to his proposal. If you wanted to help” said Amanda coldly.

“Shut your mouth. There is no way in hell I or she would agree to that. Giving up your whole life, to be imprisoned in someone else’s body. That sounds sick. And I don’t mean the that’s so cool type of sick, I mean the disease like sickness” retorted Diego.

“Well, there must be something else we could help him with. I’m wondering about it but nothing comes” said Mikhail.

“If we can’t help him, it can’t be helped” muttered Serena and drank the glass of juice on the table with one sip.

At that moment Thompson remembered the info Kenji had relayed about himself in the crystal dungeon.

“Lads, I have completely forgotten to tell you. The truth about Kenji. His backstory if you would presume”

“What?” asked Bold.

Thompson started talking about how Vlad had figured out Kenji was a serial killer back then. And Kenji’s response to his interrogation.

“W-why didn’t you tell us this early” raged Diego.

“Because I didn’t wanna bring down the mood, okay. And besides, he left after helping you save your sister, did he not? It is rude to talk badly about someone behind their back”        
    
“Well, it does prove that he is capable of taking people’s lives” said Serena.

“Yeah, he seems dangerous” said Amanda.  

“Umm, about the new lady. Is it true that she tried to kill you before?” asked Bold.

When Chloe gave him a cold look Bold could almost feel the intensity of her glare frozing his whole body.

“Yeah it’s true. The woman is crazy enough to murder her own brother for a few gold” said Thompson angrily.

“Is that true? I want answers” said Mikhail while firmly looking at the woman.

She nodded and talked:

“I have to go back to the real world. In order to do that I need power. The life of my useless brother is no concern to me”

“Cold hearted queen of England” muttered Thompson while sipping the juice on the table.

While they exchanged glares and gazes at one another in the silent room the door bell rang.

“Who could that be” said Emma.

“I’m stuffed, definitely not me who is gonna open that door” said Serena.

“W-Wait. Maybe it’s Kenji” mumbled Mikhail and ran towards the door. Upon opening it however he immediately frowned.

“Hi, my boy” said Rasputtin with an ever so innocent face. And strangely enough he had a guitar in his hand this time.

“What the-“ roared Mikhail with a red face but Rasputtin raised an index finger to intercept his words.

With no hesitation or fear Rasputtin ferociously started playing the guitar:
