Akiba was bored, but glad. The SUV entered the village with no trouble whatsoever. Though it seems that his discreet preparing was at least noticed by someone, Akiba simply nodded to him in response but didn't wish to say anything.

However, despite the area being all clear and everything around him was safe, he still feels a looming aura of death. Akiba was confused, he always gets this feeling when something bad is gonna happen to either him or to someone else he knows.

Akiba tried to recollect all the data he gathered. Grei's body was used as a distraction, that's one thing he knows. His weapon was missing as well. Another thing is that two people are responsible, and these two disguised themselves as workers. Now that he was looking back, he also heard that a person named Leon was looking for his... sister was it? Akiba wasn't sure, but he kept it in mind as he aimlessly walks away from the group.

While Akiba continued his thinking a stranger called him, "Hey,kid! Wanna play a card game?"

Akiba looked at the direction of the voice to meet a man sitting on a carpet layed on the ground. Also on this carpet are an assortment of items along with a deck off playing cards. The man took the well stacked deck and took half of it, placing the other half beside him.

"Wanna learn a trick that'll get you lots of lien?" Akiba raised an eyebrow at the man. He wasn't that much of a con artist, since his little carpet was filled with knick-knacks, junk, and other stuff Akiba wasn't sure of. Basically a little shop on the ground. Akiba didn't really want to waste time right now, and he was coming close to a conclusion too, but he thought that entertaining the man was the least he could do.

Akiba nodded, which then the stranger then taking out 4 cards. He took the four cards one by one while counting. Then next part though shocked Akiba, because as he counted the cards off again there were four more than before.

The stranger then explained his sleight of hand, which then Akiba got an Eureka moment.

"Could this be how? But then-!"

Akiba heard the sound of Azulius calling out that Leon was in trouble. This was set up from the beginning, and Grei was the perfect distraction. The picture was just used as a way to make us further believe the trick.

Akiba rushed in to the others. Time was now of the essence.
