As sunset finally came, the man who had been watching them through the window for the entire night, was going to finally make his move.
He licked one of his daggers and Slowly shrunk himself, entering through a small gap in the window. He then slowly approached the bed on which Alex and Anthony were peacefully sleeping and used his powers to return his body to the normal size.
"Money, money, money!" Cain said, aiming at Alex's chest and then stabbing him in the very next second.
The dagger pierced through Alex's chest, landing deep inside. Which caused blood to spill immediately.
Alex immediately coughed up blood and woke up, sitting up straight. He Instinctively grabbed his sword and tried to slash Cain but he was already gone.
Anthony also woke up from the constant sounds and looked around, still half-asleep.
"Anthony, be alert, I am afraid we might have a guest" Alex said, placing his hand on his bleeding chest.
"Guest? At this time? Did you not lock the door, Alex-chan?" Anthony said, rubbing his eyelids.
"Tch, that's not what I meant. We have an enemy and-" Before Alex could finish, he felt a sharp object piercing him from below, damaging his thigh.
As soon as he removed his Thigh and leg from the area, he saw a dagger that had came from below the bed. "There's someone under us!" Alex said, jumping off the bed.
"Alex-chan, what's gotten in you?" Anthony said, yawning. "Want a smooch?"
As Anthony finished speaking, he felt two daggers pierce both of his thighs, causing Anthony to jump off the bed too.
Alex looked under the bed and saw nothing, not even a single trace of the enemy.
"Be careful, the enemy might be invisible" Alex said, looking around calmly without moving.
"Okay, Alex-chan" Anthony said, taking up a boxing stance. "Don't worry, I'll protect you with my life!"
Suddenly, the cupboard was cut into hundreds of pieces with extremely fast slashes and even though they found out the enemy's location, they still couldn't see him.
Before Alex could even process what happened, the bed suddenly split in half and so did the wooden chair.
"Anthony, this is definitely an invisible enemy, make sure to listen to the sound" Alex said.
Alex then slowly walked around the room with his sword held close.
"Come on, you little pest, attack me" He was thinking.
----------------------------
Meanwhile, Ronx and Ken were still asleep, who didn't talk much and immediately had went to sleep.
However, they both were soon woken up by a mysterious knock.
Ronx stood up and approached the door, opening it without thinking as he was still half-asleep.
The man who had knocked was wearing a 3 piece suit, an expensive gold watch and was wearing sunglasses. His hair was white and was kept neat and tidy. He looked like a gentleman, which he sure wasn't.
He was quite handsome, having a decently sharp jawline and smooth skin. He had a small smile on him.
"Hi there" the man said with a smile.
"Oh, uhm, who are you?" Ronx said, clearly surprised.
"My name isn't of great importance but if I must say, then I gladly will" The man said, slightly bowing. "My name is Henry Montero and I want you to play a game with me"
"A game? What are you talking about?" Ronx said, getting slightly alerted and prepared to attack.
"What I am talking about isn't of great importance" Henry said with a slightly evil smile. "What is of great importance is your decision."
"Wow, he speaks like a gentleman too" Ronx thought to himself. "But he definitely is an enemy, no normal human will knock on a random person's door and ask them to play a game. I need to act like I don't know."
"Well...I don't have the time" Ronx said, slowly closing the door.
But Henry grabbed the door and leaned close to Ronx.
"Time? Everyone has time for everything, they just don't want to spend it" Henry said in a threatening whisper.
"Uhm...can you please go away" Ronx said with a nervous smile, putting on his hands behind his back and creating a sphere made out of blood, prepared to attack at any minute.
"Very well, It seems that you want to play the game. I am glad you want to play with me" Henry said with a smile, opening the door wider.
"I didn't say anything about!-" Before Ronx could finish, Ken and himself were teleported into a casino.
The casino looked like a normal but expensive casino with people talking and gambling their life savings. They looked like normal people and everything didn't look strange as if this was an actual casino.
"Welcome to my realm, 'the Casino'." Henry said, opening his arms wide. "Now tell me, which game would you like to gamble your life on?"
Ken was trembling and scared for his life while Ronx immediately attacked using the sphere of blood, launching it towards Henry but nothing happened to Henry, even his clothes were untouched and there was no dust. The sphere had touched Henry's body but it had disappeared the very next second.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, my deepest and most sincere apologies for not mentioning it sooner" Henry said bowing down. "but you cannot attack me in any way other than defeating me in a game, which will kill me."
"Of course, the same will happen to you if you lose" Henry said with a smile. "So, I will ask again, what game would you like to gamble your life on?"
