After that alarmed call from Rika, the group immediately agreed to meet up.
In an instant, Hakuto, Rika, Yuzu, Chantal, and Elisabeth gathered near Lucrezia's house—the place from which they'd begin the search.
A pointless search for Hakuto, since he already knows exactly where Lucrezia is.
And more importantly, he knows why she disappeared.
But he decided not to share that information with them.
That's because, fearing Tony's threats weren't just empty words and that he might really hurt Lucrezia, Hakuto intends to go alone to the agreed meeting place—the Old General Markets in the Ostiense district.
After all, it's just a simple kidnapping by some young punk—it's not like it's anything that could really trouble someone used to facing far more powerful and terrifying beings.
It's a situation he's certain he can resolve on his own, and there's no reason to take unnecessary risks by involving the girls.
