After finally being free of Slavery, Riley and Paulo set out to the world as Justice On Four Feet. Both of them took on heavy challenges and freed the oppressed by gangsters that posed them threats.
Both Riley and Paulo had grown incredibly strong and were deemed as heroes of Justice In Insignia — a neighboring country to Falu — Riley and Paulo faught and saved Insignia from a lurking threat that planned to devour the entire country.
The Gang with a smiley tattoo on their left arms — The Little Ones — were hunted down by them, upon countless requests from the Mayor of Charmola — a city in Insignia. Riley and Paulo operated and after a battle to death Riley, Paulo and some Policemen that helped them clemched victory and The Little Ones were finally captured.
Surprisingly enough, a week after their heroic efforts, whilst they were still bedridden, wanted posters were generated for the both of them and they had to flee from the nation as their names had appeared on the Wanted list.
Still heavily bruised from the battle, they had to flee and took shelter in Falu. Riley and Paulo stayed their for a month noticing the hidden darkness and the shadows that lurked and planned to engulf Falu — The Chained Dogs.
Riley and Paulo recovered and gathered intel by taking some risks and doing some bold moves like kidnapping Policemen. They finally got to know that the base of operations of The Chained Dogs was the Diocese.
Riley was geared up yet Paulo was hesitant for he suggested that The Chained Dogs were a much bigger threat than The Little Ones that they faced in Charmola.
"Dude we can't attack them recklessly by giving into emotion! The little Ones! Hell they were weak."
"Yeah... But we beat them!"
Riley said.
"That doesn't mean we are strong!! We are still weak! We cant attack them. You know Drew is! He a damn monster!"
Paulo was persistent yet Riley didn't care as he couldn't see innocent children suffer without any context. So he attacked in the middle of the day alone. He didn't inform Paulo and raided their base of operations.
Yet Paulo was correct, as Riley couldnt get past all the executives alone. He was defeated by the combined effort of Lato and Ice and was thrown in their tormemt cell.
Paulo, meanwhile, got information about The Bald Theif Gang and decided to join them as soon as possible; thinking that with the help of more manpower Riley and Paulo could potentially take down The Chained Dogs. Paulo got to their shelter and Riley was gone. Then he rushed towards the Diocese, with expressions of distress on his face. He reached the Diocese and found the Bishop — Drew Ecolipe — giving lessons to people about Kindness. Paulo silently sat in the Pews and waited for the lessons to end to attack him. Drew was prepared as when the lesson ended and everyone got out Paulo rushed forward towards him with an Aqueous Blade in his hand. He attacked Drew behind his back yet the thrust of his blade couldn't touch Drew. He used all of his might into that one singular spot yet the sheild around Drew didn't break. Sweat engulfed him as Drew was an even bigger monster than he had predicted. Drew picked him up from his throat and gave him devilish grin. Paulo struggled to get free but couldn't. Drew then took him to their base of operations and threw him beside Riley. He sat infront of them.
"Heheheheheh... Loook your friend is here to meet you!"
Drew said to an utterly tortured Riley.
Riley was hung to a wall by shackles and didn't even have the strength the to speak. Paulo was thrown to his feet unconscious.
"Hahahaha.... I have a proposition for you two. You see I cant go and attack the those bald bastards! If i could, i would have done so already! So your job is to infiltrate that gang and lure them here. If you do so, I let you live. Well...You don't have choice so you have to do this!"
Drew said as he called some of his men to patch both of them up.
After being patched and bandaged roughly, Riley and Paulo were thrown out in the slums by the members of Chained Dogs gang and were given a month to carry out their duty.

Riley, in the comforting arms of Wandera, told her this fact and kept on crying like a baby. Wandera smiled and continued to pat on his head. After some time, Riley controlled himself, as now his cheeks were bitter red with embarrassment. He wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Th-thank You! And Sorry that i lashed out earlier"
He said as he sniffled, and tilted his head in shyness.
"You don't need to say anything to me you know!" Wandera got up as she said that and Riley's awkward gaze fell upon her. "You know what you have to do right? Justice on four feets!" She said and Riley grinned. Wandera started to walk off as Riley got up, now geared up better than ever, with a grin on his face, he jumped from the top of roof and ran as fast as he could to meet up with the others.

The path taken by Arkas's batch was short, as now his party also started to see the tall metal gate of the Diocese.
"I see it. The Diocese is right infront of us!"
A member of Arkas's batch said after spotting the Diocese.
Arkas was fired up, as taking down the Chained Dogs meant everything to him.
Father bless me as i avenge you! I will not forgive any of those bastards who tortured or murdered you! Father today your son will rip their throats. I will chain them as they did to you and hang them on poles! Father! Forgive me, but i will not back down!"
A fire hotter than an inferno was ablaze inside of Arkas's heart as he got close to the Diocese. He created a Fire Fist got ahead of his batch and with a single raging blow, he tore the metal gate apart and the entryway was destroyed. His batch also fired up upon seeing him as created a fire fist again and this time punched a hole in the ground to open a pathaway to their base. The ground broke down and a space which lead further down was opened. Arkas jumped inside that space, as his men guided him and they all had seemingly reached some passageway. They all were confused, yet the fury inside Arkas's heart guided them, as Arkas lit up a fire on his finger and started to run where the passageway took him.

In the middle of all darkness, where nothing could be seen or heard. In that deafening atmosphere, Drew opened his eyes sitting on his throne of stone, which had cracks all over it. In his lap was Mila, whose blond hair had now seemed red with all that blood and her body went ourple from all the welts she had endured.
All the rest of the children were seemingly taken somewhere else. Since no cries could be heard in that place any longer. Drew grinned while supporting his head with his one arm.
"Come! I have been waiting!"
He said excited as echoes of his evil laugh filled the deafening hall.

Nortik and Aspinall, after wearing their uniforms went to the Gambling House in the Prestigious Residential Area and were playing roulette there with scantily dressed women fawning their bodies over them.
"Yahhh.... Boss it would've been great if Edward was here. He sure knows how to gamble yknow!"
Aspinall said as they were losing to the opposing party.
"Leave him be with Froggy. You know his desires. All in on Black!"
Nortik replied with a grin on his face.
The ball stopped at red but Nortik sneakily created a tiny glass blade which pushed the ball from from beneath and it jumoed another square to black.
Aspinall jumped with joy as they won and slapped the back of Nortik.
"Boss!! You are a genius!!"
He glazed.
The opposing man frowning, ordered his bodyguards to get ahold of the two. Aspinall grinned and easily knocked the two bodyguards by solidifying the water in air. The man was shocked and tried to run back but Aspinall split his throat apart and killed him that instant.
A huge ruckus was caused in that Casino and the two were asked to leave. Nortik and Aspinall left then after kissing the hamds of the girls that were aroud them.
During their way Aspinall yawned and finally asked.
"But Boss!! Why didn't we go to fight that bastard Einer! I wanted to fight him yknow!"
"Hmph... Leave it. You are not near his level!"
Nortik said.
"Awww... Dont say that Boss! It hurts my feelings!"
Aspinall complained.
The two walked back to the Siheyuan chattering casually as there was sharp grin on Nortik's face as he thought
"Oh I am so sorry, Dear Drew! Its just that I had to get my revenge!"
*********
Tips:
Roulette is the most common game that is played in the Casinos. Since Aspinall and Nortik don't know how to gamble they just went there and played Roulette. Only Edward knows how to play games at a Casino in Nortik's squad.
