"Then, do you also know the leader of the awakened agency?" Diane asked, deciding to bet on it. If Alice knew the chairman, then she'd know the leader, right?
"You mean Noah?" Alice asked and Diane closed her eyes, nodding her head. Sure she knew him. "We met for the first time yesterday, though. And don't worry, I gave him a good smack on our behalf."
"You slapped the leader of the Awakened agency on our behalf?" Diane asked, shocked. "The leader of the agency? Why?"
Alice went silent, her hand stopped moving and she faced Diane with a serious gaze.
"Because of the numerous times we had to watch one of his corrupt men walk away with their pockets full while one of us had to suffer for asking for help. That... I could not stand it. So, I slapped him and sent him flying." She bowed her head and then raised it, waving it away with a silly smile. "But don't worry, I healed him right after. He's got a pretty face, you know. It'd be a shame to let it swell for too long."
