Yggdrasil finally had the funds from a Loan shark for putting up his.. business. He then walks to the alleys of the Corktown, DT looking for a perfect nest for the business. Since his business won't need much exposure from crowd due to the materials used for the product, it will be much affordable for him to pay the monthly rent. After walking several blocks from a crowded area, he saw two old couple arguing in an alley way.

As the Granpa was about to hit the Granny, Yggdrasil rushed to aid Granny, dashing with incredible speed. He's training at the Wildbad Forest's did paid off, but after grabbing Granpa's arm he didn't expect what happened next. Granny was holding a pistol pointing at his face.

"Don't bother kid. This is how we do business here."

Yggdrasil can hear Granpa's laugh. It's like telling him "Got you" in form of a laughter.

"Drop the suite case, walk towards the wall, slowly, while your arms held up high. Let's be "Civilized" here son."

Yggdrasil can hear the clicking sound of the pistol as Granny finished her instructions. He realized that if he let these couple rob him broke, he's already good as dead. With no cash left and profit to be made, the Loan Shark will serve him as his dinner in silver plate.

"Dead or be dead.."

Yggdrasil ducks as fast as he could and sprung his feet at the opposite direction. The moment his right hand touches the ground, he quickly reached out for his revolver following a quick aim where he had taken off. He thought he had his shot since he's still alive and he haven't heard any gun shots, but as he locked in, the couple's nowhere to be seen. He thuds hard to the ground, sliding to a pile of trash.

"I'm impressed. But not satisfied." Yggdrasil can hear Granpa's voice somewhere.

"Kids these days are too slow. When I was at your age, I'm as fast as this bullet I say."

Granpa laughed and tossed a silver bullet, then he showed up in a small entrance of another alleyway. It's almost like a secret route since it's not plotted in the district map he got from the local office.

"But you've got guts kid. Lower down your weapon. Let's settle this down in our place."

Granny sheathe her pistol and wink to Yggdrasil.

"Come on now sweety. Sorry for the intense impression, but we're harmless, somehow."

Granny laughed like a witch riding its broom. The couple walked to the dark and small alleyway and Yggdrasil followed with his guard ready. After few turns, they've reached a green metal door with a shiny golden coated door knob. Granpa drew a golden key with a skeleton head handle. The door unlocked sounded like a cracked victor safe. A familiar scent blew from the inside as they're about to enter the room.

"Welcome child. Have a seat."

Granpa slouched back on a huge chair that looks a like a kings throne. Granny on the other hand, went to grab the tea pot in the coffee table facing the huge chair. Yggdrasil remained standing as he feels more comfortable doing that during first encounters.

"I have no idea what's happening to be honest. First you attempt to rob me, then offered me to sit and be comfortable? What do you want from me?"

Granpa looked directly at Yggdrasil's eyes. It clearly shows that Yggdrasil looked more nervous than relaxed.

"I've smelled you while you were crossing the street kid. I thought you're one of our "kin" that brought up news, apparently not. But I was bothered by how you're scent match with one of our own."

Granpa took a huge sniff in front of Yggdrasil.

"No doubt. What do you have with you kid?"

Hes tone sounded serious than before so Yggdrasil showed the Tea Leaves he always keep in his pocket.

"I've added "Extra Flavors" in it though."

Granpa's eyes looked different as it contacted with Yggdrasil's eye the moment he was done talking.

"Where have you learned that recipe?"

"From my.. parents."

Yggdrasil looked down as he remembered his parents. When his about continue speaking, Granny arrived with a steaming hot tea pot.

"How about sipping the hotties while they're still hot?"

Granny smiled as her eyes looked closed. After taking few cups of tea, Yggdrasil got surprised that it got the same flavor with his Tea Leaves. Granpa noticed his reaction and put down his cup of tea.

"How about a good long story? What do you say kid? Let's start with you. We've got all the time in the world. Honey, would you be so kind to prepare the "cookies" for us?"

Granny nodded and Yggdrasil started with his story..

"Very well Mr. Nail. Hehe.. I've never taught that I'll speak for that name again. Let me share the story of our "Kin". Just so you know, your "Parents" were one of us. So it's probably the best for you to know what kind of people they were, and of course, to be fair since you've shared yours to us."

Granpa closed his eyes for a moment and removed his glasses.

"Our kin is called "The Group". In the world you're living in, it's what you call "Family", but it has the same meaning in a Chemist's perspective. And yes, your parents, or your father specifically Sigmund Nail was a Chemist. You're mother is the daughter of the famous Cartel in Mexico by the name of Javier Hernandez."

Yggdrasil can't believe what he's hearing from this old man. He had no idea who's in front of him and what's his dealing now. Yggdrasil chose to stay and listen to every word Granpa's telling him and for the next stories his about to share..
