Caid slowly went to the old  man , but as much as he tried to hide his frown he couldn't.

"You seem displeased from what you're seeing." said the old man as he cracked his neck a couple of times.

"Not really." answered Caid making the old man smile." It's just that I'm still a little shocked at what just happened. I didn't think that his head would go flying like that."

"Hah, well now that you know, I think that you should be moving on. I suggest that you clean the clothes in the sea before bringing them to me." said the old man as he turned back and headed towards the snake's body that was still twitching on the sand . Caid on the other hand nodded towards Mikael and Paikos who were stiffly standing only a few meters away, and they understood.

"So , it's finally time huh?" said Mikael as he couldn't move his eyes of the old man. His show of prowess had awed him that he was beginning to think if his father was really a pushover in front of this old man. Paikos on the other hand finally gave a sigh of relief as everything was over

' I guess that my job is finally finished. It was interesting to say the least , but I'll make sure to stay clear of jobs that include Nen users.'

As the others relished on their newfound happiness, Caid took the mangled remaining body of the Nen user he didn't even know the name of, and headed to the sea, but not before handing his phone to Tank.

"Call the last number I spoke to and tell him the coordinates for the island. You know the coordinates right....." hopefully questioned Caid and Tank nodded his head.

"Yeah I know the coordinates  I used to get here. I remembered them just in case , but.....

"It's going to be fine, you just have to know the coordinates. My uncle will take care of the rest, so you don't have to worry about it." said Caid as he felt the blood of the Nen user seep into his clothes, but tried to ignore it.

"Got it....

Caid then headed towards the sea and started washing away. He scrubbed the bloody clothes  on the sea making chunks of flesh and bone coming out , filling the sea with it's bloody color. He scrubbed and scrubbed until he finally noticed that there were no more big chunks of meat and bone, and what was left was only  the Nen users clothes. As he was finishing washing the clothes he noticed something strange,  as under his clothes there was a set of white garment. It looked like it was made out of silk, but it was somewhat heavy for silk.

"What the hell is this?" said Caid to no one in peculiar, but someone answered.

"It's a defensive garb, very precious and very rare." 

"A defensive garb?" questioned Caid as he turned back to see that the old man was on the shore, watching him. He seemed to have finished his business with the snake's body and was watching over Caid.

"It's a type of special armour, something that was presumed lost to the ages . It was supposed to be a dowry  to the then king of the  Lanana kingdom, but it was surprisingly stolen by a famous pirate a couple of hundred years ago, while on it's wait to it's destination. At that time it was such an incident that it managed to cause a war between the surrounding nations of the time." said the  old man with a reminiscing look.

".......

Caid just wordlessly looked at the white-ish shirt and pants that he was holding and couldn't help but think that this was such a valuable item.

"You've washed it enough. Throw the normal clothes out and bring the garb with you , we're leaving right now." 

"Now, but it will take at least a couple of hours for an airship to arrive to get us" said Caid in a surprised voice, but soon enough he would wish he didn't speak about all.

"We won't need an airship....huuuuuuu....."said the old man as he exhaled a big amount of something that looked like translucent smoke from his mouth, before the smoke took the form of a 2m wide cloud as it floated above the ground.

"Get on. " said the old man as he jumped on the cloud and stood on it like we was standing on solid ground. " What are you waiting for , get on! I don't have all day to wait for you."

"Ye... yes, but give me a minute" said Caid as he headed back to where Tank , Mikael and Paikos were. He looked at them in the eyes and cold notice that they were more distant that before, especially Paikos.

"It seems that this is going to be our goodbye." said Caid as he stretched out his hand towards them and shook each hand. It was a little awkward  shaking hands with them after what they had gone through , but it was what it was. Paikos thanked him for the help, Mikael excitedly gave him his personal number, and Tank didn't really say anything as he looked down.

"If you need something, just ask my uncle and I'm sure that he will fix it." said Caid to the downtrodden Tank. "Also , when he comes here make sure that he splits the treasure of the the island into four equal pieces."

"I.... don't know what to say. Things have happened so fast that not sure if......" 

"I know." said Caid as he smiled at Tank." But you're missing the point. An ending just means a new beginning, and you can choose the way things will go this time. Trust me, everything is going to be fine....."

Tank was left speechless for a second before he loosened his body and fell to the sandy beach. The sun rays blinded him, but he felt so relieved that he felt like a different man. "Heh....I guess you're right. I should have done this a long time ago."

"I'm glad you like the idea. Then, I guess this is goodbye.....

"Yeah....

.............

After five minutes Caid and the old man we're flying over the ocean on a translucent cloud while the rest were in waiting on the island for the airship to rescue them. 

' I guess that this is real life huh? Nothing goes as you expect it.' thought Caid enjoying the breeze as they flew on the cloud the old man had created, and Caid couldn't help but think about it.

'If this is related to his Hatsu that means that he is supposed to be a Transmuter, but I'm not sure yet as I don't have enough information. He could also be a Conjurer, but I can't be sure of it.' thought Caid as he contemplated using Zetsu, but he decided not to. 

On the other hand, out of Caid's vision, the old man was giving a big toothy smile as he noticed Caid staring at him.'Kukuku, this is so exciting......
