Naomi and Melaine were now standing in front of the airport, looking for a Taxi to go to the Eiffel Tower.
The travel from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Eiffel Tower would only need around 30 minutes if they took a Taxi. Because Paris was a beautiful city, Naomi wanted to use this chance to relax and watch the scenery from a Taxi instead of walking.
“Lady Naomi, I got the Taxi.” Called out Melaine as she waved her hand. She stood in front of a white Taxi while the driver peeked out from the window.
Naomi nodded her head and approached Melaine. The driver was an old man, and he wasn’t surprised when she saw Naomi.
However, Naomi needed to make sure of it, mainly because she was afraid that the old driver would receive backlash from the others by allowing Naomi to ride his Taxi.
“Can you take us to the Eiffel Tower? Maybe you don’t know about us, but we are a little bit famous for being a former terrorists, you know? If you take us there, there is a chance that you will be condemned by the others.”
Melaine looked at Naomi with widened eyes. She never thought about that, but that was possible. Society was harsh, they wouldn’t even consider a person’s situation before blaming them for even a little thing, such as allowing a terrorist to ride their Taxi.
However, the old driver smiled kindly.
“English, eh? Don’t ya worry about this old man! I knew ya from the television. You had saved those reporters from the Nukes, eh? This old man knows that ya are not that bad. Just enter, this old body will take ya to the Eiffel Tower. Kahahahaha.”
Bam Bam Bam
He was laughing while smacking the door of his Taxi with his hand. Naomi smiled after she heard his answer.
“Then, please take us to the Eiffel Tower.” Said Naomi.
Melaine then beamed and opened the backseat door for Naomi.
“Please enter first, Lady Naomi!”
Naomi entered the Taxi and sat in the back seat, followed by Melaine as she closed the door.
“Sit tight! We will reach the Eiffel Tower in no time!” The old driver glanced at Naomi and Melaine at the back as he started the car’s engine.
Vroom!
The car then drives at a fast speed, heading towards Eiffel Tower. On their way, the old man was talking to them.
“Ya lads are strong, eh. Can this old man know the reason for yer activities?” Asked the old driver as he drove the car at a fast speed.
“If you watched that broadcast, you must’ve known my reason for doing all of those things.” Answered Naomi.
For some reason, she felt that the old man was strange. Because she planned to have a relaxed trip in Paris, she put her guard down a little.
But, she couldn’t pinpoint the strange thing about the old man. She agreed to ride the Taxi because she felt anxious about the old man. Not only that, Melaine, who was sensitive to danger, somehow didn’t find something strange about the old man.
‘I can’t feel any of Esper's pressure from the old man, but it’s strange. I feel like he he's an Esper, that’s for sure.’
If the old man was an Esper, he must’ve been the second generation or even the first generation. But he had no Esper Pressure, so Naomi was confused.
‘Is it similar to my Adjustment?’ Thought Naomi.
“Yeah, I watched that. However, ya couldn’t deceive this old man, ya know? This old man had been surrounded by liars, lots of liars!” The old man said passionately.
Melaine was confused, how did the talk go in this direction? Weren’t they just taking a Taxi to head to the Eiffel Tower.
She tilted her head a little and looked at Naomi. She saw Naomi had a serious expression, so she realized it. She quickly turned to the Taxi Driver with a serious face, but she didn’t do anything. She put her guard on, ready to deploy her ability at any time.
The old man then glanced at Naomi and asked again, “So, this old man was curious. Such a young girl yet such a skilled liar. Yer speech was wonderful, but your reason for creating yer organization was a lie.”
The old man put a confident smile on his face as he turned to look at the road again. There were a lot of cars on the road, but the old man drove smoothly.
Naomi then noticed why she felt anxious with the old man. The old man was experienced, and his smile looked unnatural.
It was as if he was wearing a mask on top of his real face.
She squinted her eyes, and she saw that the old man’s eyes were not as old as it appears to be.
Because she realized that, Naomi then surrounded her and Melaine’s body with Telekinesis armor and shouted. “Melaine!”
“On it!”
Melaine used her ability to stop times, but something strange happened. The old man was still able to move.
“Ah, how nostalgic.” The old man said, but his tone was different from before. It was a clear tone, it was a beautiful voice that contained youth.
“!!!” Melaine was surprised when she heard the voice. Naomi noticed that, but she kept her gaze on the old man.
The world around them had stopped, but the old man slowly raised his hand and reached his face. He then did something unexpected. He pulled his face with his hand, and the skin was peeled off, revealing a youth with red eyes and silver hair.
“How long has it been since I saw this ability with my own eyes.” He said, and then he slowly turned to Melaine.
Melaine recognized the youth. She opened her mouth, but the only words that came out were “Y-You!”
Naomi then recognized the youth’s danger. He was dangerous, maybe he was at the same level as her.
“It’s nice to meet you again, my love. How long has it been since we met each other? I miss you, Melaine.” The youth was then smiled as he looked at Melaine with a passionate gaze.
Melaine then flew into a rage, she raised her right hand and sent a punch towards the youth as she shouted.
“Avos!”
The youth, Avos, took Melaine’s punch with his hand easily and said.
“Yes, it’s me. How are you, Melaine?”
“You fucker!” Cursed Melaine as her face contorted into a deep frown.
He laughed and ignored Melaine, then turned to Naomi and smiled, “It’s also nice to meet you, Akasa Naomi.”
Naomi looked back at Avos with a confident smile on her face. Avos was confident, he was smiling confidently as if Naomi was not a threat to him. So, Naomi would do the same. He was not a threat. He was an ant that could be crushed anytime.
“Yes, it’s nice to meet you too.”
And that was how the two leaders met with each other for the first time.
