Todd calmly stood up and walked towards the door that the slave came from, entering it. And once he did, he walked for a good minute before going in a supposedly random room. Though, it wasn't random as he soon came out of it just after a few seconds, holding several important documents.
Furthermore, once he came back to the auction area, he murmured, "time stop: Age." Which caused everyone in the room to rapidly age, wrinkles forming on their faces. However, before it could worsen, the entire building exploded, including the casino. Though, most of the auction area was unscathed as time was froze there. "My, my," Todd said, not fazed at all, his eyes looking at Lucia, who had just arrived and was standing just outside of the time frozen zone.
"Removing the evidence?" Todd said with a slight smirk, his hands in his pocket. "It's useless. I have the documents that will prove everything and bring an end to the undead crow organization."
"Then I will simply kill you and take away those documents," Lucia replied calmly, her glowing sword shining like the sun itself.
"And how exactly will you do that?" Todd said, his eyes narrowing. "If you take even a single step forward, you will be frozen in time... meaning, that you cannot even get close to me yet alone kill me."
"Same goes for you," Lucia replied. "You can only stay in the fifty-meter radius. If you try to escape, I'll simply kill you before you can even think but if you unfreeze everything then I will still be able to kill you... It's a stalemate."
"Ah...well, I guess I'll be enjoying my time here then," Todd said calmly, sitting down in an empty seat, watching the people slowly age until they aren't recognizable anymore. "Because I have already won," Todd added after a good five seconds.
"What?" Lucia said, her eyes sharpening.
"The fourth and third branch are taken care of. The second branch has exploded into pieces and once I unfreeze everything, all of these people will instantly die due to old age. Not only that but the first branch is about to be in great danger," Todd said, his hands folded together as he sat casually like a king.
"...Is he bluffing?" Lucia thought, contemplating whether to check on the first branch or keep standing there like a statue. "What do you mean by 'great danger?'" Lucia asked.
"Why should I tell you?" Todd said with a slight smirk, keeping himself silent for the next minute, which was more than enough time for Lucia to decide on what to do.
She disappeared and immediately appeared in front of the first branch, a large and normal building, which looked fine. "Nothing has happened? Tch, he played me," Lucia thought, looking around, her eyes slowly widening as a deep thought came into her mind. "Wait. Let me check on the headquarters just in case," she said in a low voice, appearing there in a millisecond due to her being able to travel at the speed of light.
"...Interesting," Lucia said, looking at the headquarter building, which was in ruins, clearly attacked. Though, that wasn't the thing that shocked Lucia the most, it was the sheer number of Red Cross numbers that had surrounded the building.
They numbered thousands, maybe even more. Not only that but the thirteen leaders of the main branch and the doctors branch were all gathered, making it twenty-six leaders. "Now it makes sense," Lucia said, who was unusually calm. "When I was reading the reports, I found it weird how there wasn't any members of the doctors branch when Ronx falcon had attacked the laboratory."
Lucia clicked her tongue and her face turned into cold and emotionless, ready to fight against thousands all by herself. "Where are the other headquarters members?" Lucia thought as she rushed towards the large entity. "What the hell are they doing?!"

Meanwhile...
Todd instantly stood up. "Now then," Todd said. "She will probably be kept busy for a while. Meaning, it is time for my escape."
"Time resume," Todd murmured, immediately teleporting out of the second branch right after as the auction room exploded into pieces, turning everyone in that room into dust, making it absolutely certain that they all had died. Though, apparently, "certain" wasn't enough as Justin appeared right in front of him.
"Ah, that was close," Justin said, his body slowly regenerating. "I just managed to react fast enough."
"You have some nerve to ruin my enjoyment session like that," Justin said, his face turning a bit more serious. "I wanted that slave, you know!"
"There are plenty of fish in the sea," Todd replied, not too fazed by the sudden appearance. "More importantly, I need to leave this area so if you'll-" Todd was about to finish his sentence but just then, Justin closed the distance in a single step, punching Todd hard in the face.
"You ain't goin' anywhere, my guy," Justin said with a slight smirk. "Not after you ruined everything. I was planning' to betray the undead crow organization but you just had to destroy all of the branches... Who the hell am I supposed to betray now?"
"Don't tell me you killed my upcoming bride," Justin said while smirking. "No. It doesn't matter what you did. You got me fired up so you're gonna fight me now. Whether you like it or not."
