Most of the village was demolished, and nearly everyone had moved. Their houses were in ruins, save for the few smaller ones in the corners. Paige drove into the woods and got out of her car. After looking around, she went into a dimly lit yard. There was a dilapidated house in the yard, and she walked inside. "Serena," she whispered.

The lightbulb on the wall lit up, and Serena came out of the darkness. She looked surprised. "Paige? Why did you come back? I thought we agreed to only call."
"I'm worried about you." Paige sat on the chair under the window, and she smiled. "I looked around the casino just now, but that old b*stard isn't there. He's in hiding."
"I can see that." She nodded. "He's probably gonna lay low for a couple more days before he shows his ugly head again. I'll stay around and wait for an opening until then."
She was a meticulous woman when it came to her missions. Serena would never make a move unless she was sure she could kill the enemy. She had been hiding in this village for nearly a month just to kill Xanxus. She had to find out his schedule, and she did. It was a pity she couldn't kill him the last time she attacked. She never thought his lackey would sacrifice himself just to defend Xanxus.
Fortunately, she had attacked when defenses around him were lax, and she was fast enough to retreat unscathed. Serena then changed her hiding spot and hid herself in this village. She even asked for Paige's help to ensure that she would not fail the next time she attacked. Serena wanted to see if she had Sunshine Casino's membership card. Her plan was to sneak into the casino and figure out its layout so that she could move swiftly next time.
Worried that the people at the casino might recognize Serena, Paige had volunteered to take a look around the casino herself after borrowing a membership card from her cousin. Thanks to that, she showed up at the casino tonight and ran into Kingsley. "Guess who I ran into, Serena?" She grinned. "Bet you can't guess it right."
Serena looked a little curious. "Is it someone from our dōjō?"
"It's Kingsley!" Paige gushed. "It's your brother, Kingsley! He's super awesome! I thought he was a moron, but he—"
Serena shot up before she could finish. "Kingsley went to the casino? What's he doing there?"
"Kicking Xanxus' *ss for you, I think." Paige picked up a bottle of water and took a sip. "He wants me to tell you that he'll settle Xanxus. Just barge into the casino in the afternoon tomorrow if you want to kill the old f*cker."
Serena had a worried look on her face. "How did he find out that I'm trying to kill Xanxus? And what does he think he's doing? Does he have any idea how powerful Xanxus is?"
"Don't worry about it, Serena. Kingsley's not as simple as he looks." Paige chuckled. "He's more than strong enough to handle Xanxus. Besides, he owns the whole casino now."
And he also has the Northern Draken Tag, she said that quietly. All he has to do is show that to Xanxus, and the old f*cker has to do everything he says. Still, Serena was already in awe even without Paige telling her that.
"H-He owns the casino? That's impossible! That's Xanxus' most important estate!"
