After the guests had gone, they started cleaning up the house after the party and putting the leftovers in the fridge. While sweeping the floor, suddenly "fwooom," a holographic screen appeared in front of Dylan's face.

"Huh... he can actually access her deposit box? Besides, is the bank even open this late?" Dylan asked.

[He is being helped by CROWS. The bank is definitely closed, sir.]

"Ah, if that's the case, that's a different story. Let's go, CATS," Dylan replied.

[Understood.]

Dylan immediately put down his broom and ran into his room. He put on his hoodie and came back out. As he walked toward the front door, suddenly "tap" someone grabbed his shoulder. He turned to see Ellie holding his shoulder.

"Where are you going, babe? We're still cleaning up, aren't we?" Ellie asked.

"I'm going out for a bit, I have an errand... it's important," Dylan answered, winking at her.

"Oh... okay, be careful," Ellie replied, understanding Dylan's meaning.

Dylan immediately went outside and opened the map on his screen. He jumped onto the roof, then used his glider to head toward the large bank located in the center of the city.

Meanwhile, after Dylan left, back at the house, "ding... dong," Ellie, who was near the door, quickly peeked through the peephole. She saw an old man standing outside the door. Ellie opened the door; standing behind it was an old man, about 70 years old, carrying a cane but still having a strong and imposing physique.

"Good afternoon," the old man greeted them kindly.

"Good afternoon, can I help you with something?" Ellie asked, confused.

Lena, Maya, and Amy stood behind Ellie, holding their cleaning supplies. The old man, seeing all of them, immediately smiled.

"I'll get straight to the point. My name is Vincent Richmond. Can the four of you come with me?" Vincent, the old man, asked.

Before Ellie, Lena, Maya, and Amy could answer, "click," several figures emerged from behind the old man. They were soldiers wearing black, military-style uniforms, and they aimed their weapons at the four girls. Naturally, the four of them were speechless and slowly raised their hands until all the cleaning supplies they were holding fell to the ground.

***

Meanwhile, Dylan landed on the bank's roof. He immediately used his picklock skill to open the door to descend. He immediately ran down the emergency stairs, occasionally teleporting, then opened the emergency stair door on the first floor and emerged, still invisible. He walked casually to the security room that controlled the alarms, then disabled all the alarms from the console inside.

He immediately went out to the deposit box room, which had a door like a huge vault and had its own alarm. Dylan used his disarm skill to disable the alarm and his picklock skill to open the vault. He entered and used his ray vision to see the contents of the many deposit boxes. He found the deposit box where Maya's grandfather kept her samurai sword.

"Okay, let's take it," Dylan muttered, standing in front of the deposit box cabinet.

Dylan took a breath and exhaled. He used pick lock to open the lock and pulled the box out, then he took the samurai sword, which was actually only forearm-sized and not a real samurai sword. He saw a black gem on the hilt. He immediately put it into his dimensional storage. "Click," Dylan turned to see someone who looked like they were trying to open the vault. He immediately put the deposit box back in its place and waited.

"Clang," the vault was opened. Several soldiers, dressed in black military-like clothes and armed, entered. Shortly after, Karl walked in. Dylan, who was invisible, remained inside, but suddenly "click," all the armed men pointed their weapons at Dylan.

[CROWS: Hello CATS, it's been a long time since we last met.]

Dylan flinched in surprise when he heard the hoarse male voice in his head. He raised his hands but did not become visible. He saw Karl also standing facing him, smiling and folding his arms across his chest.

[CATS: Hello CROWS, we finally meet again. How are you? Are you doing well?]

[CROWS: Cut the small talk, CATS. I know why you're here. You'd better hand over all the fragments of the Dark Eye you've taken.]

[CATS: Unfortunately, I can't do that because I've already swallowed all the fragments.]

[CROWS: Hah... don't joke around, I still have one fragment in my hand.]

[CATS: That's good information.]

[CROWS: Don't get any ideas, your family is in my hands. Go on, take a look.]

"Bwooom," a red holographic screen, visible only to Dylan, appeared in the middle of the vault. Dylan's eyes immediately widened to see Ellie, Maya, Amy, Lena, Aaron, Clara, Fiona, and Iris in a basement-like room that looked like a cell and were locked up.

"You bastards, you captured my family," Dylan muttered angrily.

[CROWS: Hand over all the Dark Eye fragments, or I'll kill them all.]

"Don't you dare dream it, I'm going to destroy you," Dylan yelled in his head, even though he was confused about what to do and was thinking very hard because his four girlfriends, his younger brother and his fiancée, and his two younger twin sisters were all caught and held captive.
