"Huh? What do you mean what are we talking about? We want to know where the girls you took are. The ones that have gone missing around this region." Ren said.
"Yeah I've had no idea what you're talking about this whole time." Violence said. "If you're looking for a guy that kidnaps girls then you got the wrong guy."
"Then why didn't just say that the first time we mentioned it?"
"Because I'm not obligated to answer your questions."
"You realize that you just caused us a lot of trouble with this misunderstanding."
"That's not my problem."
"You're lying in a pool of your own blood! That seems like it's your problem to me!"
"That ain't a problem, that was a fun fight."
Ren gave out an exasperated sigh. "Well, this was a total waste of time. Now we're all the way back to square one."
"Oh come on now, that wasn't a waste. You had fun in that fight too right?"
"Fun? Yeah, I guess it was pretty fun. I don't think I remember ever having fun in a fight before."
Suddenly Leona burst into the room carrying Ria on her back. "Ren wait! This guy isn't the one that's been kidnapping girls around here!" She shouted.
"Yes, I'm well aware of that by now."
Ria had woken up after being defeated by Leona. However, the unexpected sight before her made her think that she must be dreaming.
"I can't believe it. Violence really lost?" Ria asked weakly.
"That's a bit of an exaggeration. At best it was a draw. Really I should have lost." Ren admitted.
"Get this Ria, this guy is the Celestial Emperor's son." Violence said.
"What really?" She asked.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Who's the Celestial Emperor?" Leona asked.
"Huh? You can't be serious? Did you grow up under a rock or something? How could you have never heard of the Emperor?" Ria asked.
Leona had in fact, not, grownup under a rock. She had however, spent nearly her whole life dedicated only to her goal of getting revenge on Toro Fernandez.
"So you're the son of some famous Emperor and you never told me? How come?" Leona asked after Ren's lineage was explained to her.
"It's not a big deal." Ren said deflecting the line of inquiry.
"If it wasn't a big deal then why did you keep it a secret?"
"I don't exactly have a warm relationship with my family. Overall it's just better to have as few people know about it as possible."
Leona crossed her arms and pouted as she was clearly upset that he kept a secret from her. "So what else are you hiding from me?" She asked.
"Nothing in particular."
"Nothing in particular? That's the type of answer that definitely makes me think that you're hiding more information from me!"
"What your girlfriend lacks in looks she makes up for in spunk at least." Violence chuckled.
"He's not my boyfriend!"
"I feel like we've done this routine before, but it bears repeating. I'd never go for a gorilla girl like her."
"Well, I guess I'm going to go ahead and get out of here." Violence said without listening to either of their responses.
"Wait! We still need to figure out who's responsible for the missing girls." Leona protested.
"Just let him go. He doesn't know anything helpful. It's probably better off if he just leaves." Ren said.
"But…" Leona prepared to argue with him before realizing that he was probably right.
Meanwhile, Tigre was receiving information from his father, the Grand Admiral Aquila Fernandez. The Vercheg Navy had finally identified the man responsible for the disappearances of women in the region.
