Facing the piercing look of the hooded man that was mixed with a little bit of killing intent, Elena slightly smiled and spoke up again -

"Fufu, there is no need to be so nervous. I have no interest in making any connection with the higher ups of the Holders of the Ugly Mirrors. I'm just very impressed by how you have managed to handle this organisation so expertly. That's all."

Even after hearing Elena's assurance, the man's suspicion did not go down at all. He then asked her.

"Esteemed Lady. Please allow me to enquire how you managed to find out about my true identity. I do take pride in my ability to hide myself and it is also one of the main requirements for my role. So it is very important for me to find out what I can do better to not be caught unaware again."

Hearing the serious question, Elena also gave a serious answer. She described how he had left behind a trail after using his stealth skills. Those skills used mana to hide mana. So someone with specialised mana sensing skills would be able to find out about his path without much trouble.

After explaining his flaw, Elena even went out of her way to teach him a skill called "Total Concealment" that had already solved this problem. This skill was a compensation and reward from Elena's side. Compensation for suddenly starlting him and reward for his hard work as the leader of the Envy organisation.

After Elena taught him the powerful stealth skill generously, finally the hooded man's caution toward her lessened a little bit. He was still a bit suspicious of Elena but he was at least relaxed enough to introduce himself. The name he gave her was Raul which was actually not his real name but as he only gave his real name to the people who were extremely close to him, Elena was more than happy with this result.

After that Raul also told Elena his reason for being here. The two people currently fighting on the stage were also going to participate in a competition that would happen a few months from now. In that competition, the combatants needed to divided into several groups depending on their strength, so Raul was appraising the strength of the two combatants here.

After this, Elena and Raul talked about various things related to how he was managing a large organisation while still hiding his true identity from most of the members. This was not an easy task and Raul was always very cautious about everything in his life.

As they were talking, the battle in the arena came to an end with the victory of the explosive red bull man. From his performance, Raul was impressed and decided to put him in the group that consisted of the top tier contenders. Just as Raul was about to leave the colosseum, the red bull man suddenly launched a surprise attack on the horse man who was being treated by a healer. This was a very unexpected attack so the red bull man managed to get a direct hit on the horse man. That created a powerful explosion which dealt a massive amount of damage to the already injured man.

The healer was also not spared and she was blown away by the force of the explosion. Seeing that the horse man was still somehow alive, the red bull clicked his tongue in irritation and was about to finish the unfinished task.

But before he could do that, a burly demon man with one horn slashed toward him with a large great sword. This attack was so fast that even before the powerful red bull man could notice it, the attack had already reached him. He was unable to dodge this attack at all and the sword directly bisected him in two pieces.

This sudden event was something that astonished all the people who were in audience. Normally a sudden death of someone would create fear and unrest among the general population but that obviously was not the case here. This was the wrath district. What this sudden death of someone created was not fear but excitement.

Seeing this, Raul sighed in distress and crossed the name of the red bull from his notes. His whole morning was now ruined as the person he was appraising was not alive anymore. All the work he had done had been wasted. No one would be happy if all their hard work suddenly become worthless, so Raul's mood became very sour.

Seeing this, Elena took Raul to a bar located in the colosseum. While they were talking before, Raul had offhandedly mentioned that he was fond of drinking. So now that he was in a bad mood, Elena thought that taking him to have a few drinks would be the best way to cheer him up.

...

While sitting in bar, Elena heard that the people drinking here were all talking about the recent incident. From their mouth, Elena came to know the whole story. It turned out that the enmity between the red bull man and the horse man was very deep. Both of their tribes were enemy for who knows how long and because of some personal matters, the two people in questions could not even see eye to eye.

So it made sense that the bull man would try to kill the horse man even if he needed to use surprise attack to accomplish that. But who was the one horned man who ended up killing him instead.

That man was a famous person in the wrath district as he was one of the high executive officer of the Rage and Destruction organisation. As for why an executive had suddenly ended up killing a regular member, that was actually simple. The healer who was hurt because of the aftermath of the conflict was his wife. So as soon as the one horned man had seen his wife getting hurt, his rage had went through the limit and he had ended up killing the red bull man.

As Elena was thinking about how interesting this whole story was, another large man wearing hood came to sit on their table. Normally wearing a hood would make someone less noticeable. But as this man was like a little mountain of flesh, this hood did nothing to hide his impressive presence.

While drinking with Elena, Raul's mood had improved a fair bit. But all that development went down the drain when he noticed the presence of this man. Seeing that he was about to become comfortable here and was about to order drinks without even changing his voice, Raul immediately jumped from his chair, grabbed the man by his collar and disappeared from the bar. When he appeared he was in a remote area of the Wrath Section, a few kilometres away from the bar.

He felt a little bad for suddenly separating from a new friend that he managed to make but he had no other choice. Letting this foolish brute to open his mouth would definitely have exposed his identity.

Just as Raul felt bad, someone lightly touched his shoulder. Looking back, to his astonishment, he noticed that it was none other than the new friend he had just made a few hours ago. This was insane to him. He had used a rare teleportation skill to run away from the bar and had even used several detection blocking and teleportation hindering skills to make sure no one could follow him. To be able to get here even with all those obstacles, this new friend his was something else.

Even after noticing the dumbfounded expression on Raul's face, Elena did not say anything and just smiled lightly. Then she asked who the person was in his hand whom Raul was unconsciously strangling.
