"Okay." Cody response was sharp and immediate.

The very reason why Rapheal chose him.

He racked his brain to remember the address while he ran down the stairs.

In his past life, Finns dead body was found four hours after he died.

Long cold. 

"Think. Think Rapheal." There was not much time.

"You. Where are you going?"  Someone called out to him coldly when he reached the bottom of the stairs.

The method of address was normally used by his fake mother. Madame Diane.

 Ever since she realised he wasn't her real child she never called him by his name again.

Rapheal subconsciously frooze in his steps.

She looked in her mid-thirties, but the wrinkles that gathered at the corner of her eye hinted at her real age.

Elegant and graceful like she had never suffered a day of hard work in her life.

With no time to give a damn, he walked past where she was sitting elegantly on the couch without responding.

Her eyes pinned on him and the hatred in them was almost tangible.

"I am going out." Rapheal replied.

"No. You can't go anywhere. Dante will be tried from work in the evening. Go pick him up." She ordered rudely.

Yes. That was just how unreasonable she was.

"I am busy." Rapheal threw indifferently as he walked past her. 

"What are you.....! How dare you ignore me? I am talking to you! You...."

Her voice faded behind him as he exited the door. 

There was more important matters to worry about.

"Near the sea...probably a port." Rapheal eyes gleamed as he slowly pieced the report written by the police the. "Right! I remember now."

He dug out his car key, hooked it in his middle finger and spun it around. A cold, blood-thirsty expression on his face.

In this new life he was given, no one is allowed to hurt those close to him.

★★★★

By the sea port. Eastbay harbor.

In the large warehouse used to store cargos temporarily, before they are deported, a man was tied to chair.

The ceiling was high, with bared windows that let the tiniest amount of sun rays to filter through.

Lone, round, orange bulbs hanged down, sometimes swaying, sending the shadows of the boxes and loads stacked on top of each other dancing in a twisted rhythm.

"I won't ask you again. Where is the fucking package?" A scar face an stood in front of the person who was tied up. Besides him, there were many tall and bulky gang members, all belonging to the same group of drug dealers.

His chance of escaping was less than zero.

"Well you have said that plenty times now....hmmp..." A harsh pain erupted in his stomach as he received a punch and he let out out a heavy breath. He immediately changed his tactic. "I already told you, I don't know. I swear on my mother's grave that I have never seen such a thing before.

"Don't you try to fool me, aren't you one of the dark angel's people?" The scar face man spat. Clearly not believing him.

"Boss you are mistaken. I am just an innocent new intake. I don't even know shit. See, I can even swear on my ancestors. If I am lying may their graves be stroke by thunder until their coffin over turn and...hmpp."

Another punch landed on his face.

An accomplice standing by the side spoke up hesitantly. "Boss. It really looks like he is telling the truth."

The scar face man expression was very ugly. "So we wasted out time."

With blood dropping down from the corner of his lips, Finn still forced himself to talk. "Haven't I been trying to tell you that. You have got the wrong person. I am just a small crayfish. Not worthy of the attention at all."

"Is that so?" A slight smile appeared on the lips of the scar face man. But his eyes were chillingly cold. "Then my apologies. Kill him."

"What? No!" 

Click. He heard the distint sound of a pocket knife flicking open and three goons surrounded him while the main boss and his small circle walked away.

"No. No. I really don't know anything...." Finn struggled against the stong ropes binding him to the wooden chair.

The shouts for mercy was interrupted as the heavy doors of the warehouse was violently kicked open from the outside.

Before anyone could react a figure was already rushing in.

Swift, agile and fearless.

"Who are you..." The gang members were caught of guard. Taken aback by the sight of someone fearless barging into their territory.

Raphael grabbed the person closest to him by the neck, dodge an attack aimed at his back and retaliated by throwing an elbow. Right at the goons face.

The one he was holding tried to break free so he let go then punched him hard in the face. Blood gushed from the goons nose without stop as he collapsed on the ground.

The last person softened, scared from how easy he had handled the others. He waved the knife he was holding aimlessly, wanting to retreat.

But Rapheal didn't give him the chance.

This was the kind of people he hated the most.

Spineless. If you do evil be ready to receive evil.

With two moves he knocked the bastard unconscious.

The commotion was loud and it drew the attention of the others.

Since there were in someone's territory, Rapheal didn't dare to delay. He quickly picked up the knife that fell to the ground and cut the ropes.

Finn was in a state of shock. "Rapheal! You came to save me."

"Shut your trash and move if you don't want to die!" Rapheal wrinkled his nose at his best friend's fawning expression and shoved him forward.

All you know how to do is get into trouble after trouble. He cursed in his mind. Hurrying to retreat. 

Suddenly a loud siren blared in his head. Rapheal stumbled in his steps and almost fell.

[DING! SYSTEM REINITIALIZING....]

[SCANNING....SCAN COMPLETED.

HOST IDENTIFIED....TRASH SON-IN-LAW]

Rapheal's eyes widen in disbelief. 

Fucking you mean by trash-son-law?

    One week later, after the Golden Arena Market."The doctor said the brain scans show stronger activities this week compared to last week. I say this is because of me." Finn waved his bandaged arm back and forth, trying to prove his point. "Research has proven that talking to a coma patient helps a lot and can even boost their recovery.""That doesn't mean you should talk nonstop all the time." Vicent scolded him; a scowl hung on his lips. "You are being a nuisance.""It is all good as long as he wakes up." "Finn said," his voice growing quieter towards the end.Rapheal watched Cody without speaking.Although his condition was now stable, he still hadn't woken up.Whether it'd take days, weeks, or months. The doctor was unable to give them a clear date.Only that the possibility of him waking up was high.Vicent and Finn exchanged a glance, and the former let out a small sigh as he picked up his coat and left quietly.When Rapheal walked out of Cody's hospital room, he ran into a famil

    Rapheal wasted no time and directly asked her. "They didn't come out?""No. I have been tracking them, and they should still be inside the building." Lean and they exchanged a glance, and their expressions changed at the same time.The sound of the blades of a helicopter whipping the wind was particularly loud."They are actually going to land a helicopter on the half-collapsing building." Silias cursed. "We can't let them escape. Who knows what godforsaken thing they will try to do again?"They couldn't let them escape. Rapheal agreed.With Lean, the three of them raced back into the building.The cold morning breeze whooshed past Rapheal's ear, and bits of moisture in the air clung to his skin.His feet barely touched the ground with each step he raced forward.Silias suppressed the shock in his heart and hurried after him.The door of the roof has been put out under Rapheal's one kick.

    When Rapheal opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of a spotless white ceiling above him.His lids snapped shut at the intense light and a low groan ripped out of his mouth.Where was he?His brain struggled to link the fragment pieces of information that were floating in his mind.His head throbbed with a sharp pain.He seemed to have been hit with something hard.Rapheal struggled to sit up but immediately felt a tug back.He looked around and saw that his limbs were restrained by thick black belts.Raphael didn't know what the belt was made of, but it was able to restrain his strength."Uh...doctor, the patient is awake." He heard a female voice coming from his sides.He looked towards the direction and saw a mass of white.It was someone dressed in white overalls. The head was covered with a white hat with just a small space where the eyes could be seen.Then another face popped into his vision.Raphael felt an uncanny familiarity from it.Then it came to him.During one of t

    Rapheal glanced at the watch on his wrist.It was 4:09am.They had less than two hours to carry out everything before they lost the cover of the night."Boss, reporting on the facility's outer perimeter survey. Security is tight." A tough voice flowed out of the earpiece connected to his ears.It was the diversion team. "Everything is in place, and we are now awaiting orders."Raphael glanced at the guards dressed in nighttime black suits besides him. He nodded briefly and then advanced from his hiding spot. At the same time, he issued the awaiting command. "Begin."Ahead, the facility stood with countless short and stout buildings. The walls were washed and green. Like something that has been abandoned for a long time.An unregistered research facility that ran illegal research on people.Rapheal scanned the narrow corridor in front of him with cold eyes. There was no surveillance camera visible, but he couldn't be sure.'System.' He called out in his head.The mechanical voice fl

    Meanwhile, as Rapheal walked out of the hospital, the system was panicking in his mind.Host: What are you doing? Host, you aren't really planning on going, right? It yelled at him coldly. [I agree to what your friend said earlier. You are acting in the heat of the situation which will do you no good.]Rapheal ignored his words. He plugged the key into the ignition and watched the car roar to life. "You know where the research center is, right?"This is a death sentence, host. Did you forget how you died in your past life? There won't be any miracle this time.]Raphael's hand on the steering froze.The system thought it had managed to convince him and quickly added. [Why don't you think this through? Do you really plan on throwing your life away?Then it watched Rapheal fish his phone out of his pocket and dial a number.The line connected after one ring."Rapheal." A respectful call rang from the other side of the phone. The voice carried a hint of laziness. "How come you didn't stay
