Kaito barely had time to digest the huge amount of information and went to Oyibo, who had vomited and was now extremely pale.

"Hey Oyibo, are you okay? Did you drink too much yesterday?"

"Aniki, if I tell you, you’ll think I’m crazy, I just saw a lot of strange things... A kind of apocalypse where the city of Aethoria was in complete chaos... There were monsters and..."

"Drink this!"

Kaito handed his younger brother a bottle of water and helped him sit on the couch. Only then did he continue...

"...There were monsters, and they were hunting the few survivors, and the humans who died... Came back to life somehow... And I was there, I saw many people I know die...

...Even now, my head hurts and I’m remembering things I’ve never seen in person... Places, events... A terrible winter, similar to an ice age... Turn on the TV, channel 32, Valentina Morales became the new police captain of the city..."

Kaito turned on the TV, but what was showing was about the murder of his drug dealer last night by the Muroni... Of course, the news only said that the man was a drug addict who owed money to someone... But both Kaito and Oyibo didn’t give up and continued watching TV for almost half an hour before the programming finally stopped.

{Break News: Luis Morales is promoted to Police Commissioner of Aethoria, and promotes his daughter, Police Sergeant Valentina Morales, to replace him in his former position as Captain!}

Kaito stood up and turned off the TV.

"I believe you, little brother, I’m also seeing things I shouldn’t see..."

"What are we going to do?"

"Of course, we’re going to prepare for this so-called apocalypse... But first, I need to do a few things, come on, get up... We have less than 6 days!"

As Kaito moved around the capital, the news was buzzing daily, mostly about the new commissioner and his daughter... Or gossip and rumors about the disappearance of the former Commissioner Natan. But with each passing day, reports of strange crimes happening emerged, raising many questions among the population due to the peculiarity of each of these crimes:

{Last night, the fire department was attacked by criminals, who not only stole all the valuables of the firefighters on duty, but also broke into the captain’s office and took his Space Bracelet Prototype... This is the first time that such an item has been stolen in Jyera, and it is not yet known what the purpose of such a theft is. Each piece of equipment only works with the DNA of its owner... The authorities said they are already tracking the location of the device.}

{Last night, a serious fire broke out in a military drone factory. The cause of the fire is not yet known, but the fire department suspects that a failure in an offensive drone may have caused the fire to start. The damage suffered has not yet been calculated, but there was a drop in the shares of Termus Technologies...}

{A daylight robbery! That’s right, you heard right! Yesterday afternoon, thieves infiltrated the City Hall headquarters disguised as power grid employees and stole several valuable items... The cameras were coincidentally turned off, and the police suspect that there was inside help in the theft. The Mayor* and his office refused to reveal what was stolen, but one of the employees revealed that the City Hall’s space power core was one of the stolen items...}

{Today is already the third day since the incident at the fire department, and it has still not been possible to track the stolen Bracelet Prototype. The police have passed the case to the cybercrimes department since they have no other clues or motives for the theft of such an item...}

{In more shocking news, the company Termus Technologies announced this morning that the fire that occurred at the military drone factory was arson, and that military equipment was stolen during the fire. The Feds took the case as possible terrorism, could this be the return of the Religious Terrorist Sects of Jyera?}

Meanwhile, Kaito, the real culprit behind all these crimes, had just spent the night with a beautiful woman... She was still looking at Kaito and his long black hair with eyes full of passion. Kaito smiled and opened the car door for her. They were now in front of a luxury building in the city.

"Wait a few minutes, my love, I’ll get what you want!"

"Hm, I’ll be here..."

Minutes later, the woman returned after entering the luxurious building and handed an identity card to Kaito...

"The password is written on the back. Commissioner Natan hated having to memorize these things... Although the new commissioner has a card just like this, as his secretary, I can say that it hasn’t been deactivated yet."

"You’re amazing, baby!"

Kaito complimented her and pulled her in for a goodbye kiss...

"My driver will take you away, and tomorrow morning he will pick you up again, don’t leave the house, okay?"

After sending away the secretary who had helped him obtain the access card to the police armory. Kaito waited a few minutes, and soon his brother Oyibo arrived with another vehicle.

After getting into the passenger side, his "little brother" asked him, smiling:

"So, where to now?"

It’s not time for revenge yet, but let’s visit those Muroni Mafia scum... I want answers and firearms. And they seem to have both of those things...
