After bidding farewell to the group at the manor, Leitao’s figure soon vanished into the night. He moved cautiously through the streets, ensuring he wasn't being tailed, and finally reached a deserted alleyway. Everything was silent, save for the sound of his own rhythmic breathing. Leitao steadied his mind and activated the Bagua Spinning Top Space. In an instant, a flash of light enveloped him, and he was transported back to his safe house in Central Africa.
Upon landing, a sharp sting flared from the abrasions all over his body. These were the "souvenirs" from his previous mission, and they demanded attention. After catching his breath, he stepped outside. A spare off-road mountain bike sat waiting. Leitao climbed on, started the engine with practiced ease, and headed toward his former base.
Dust billowed in his wake as he drove. Upon reaching the base, Leitao hopped off and walked straight toward the main gate. The guard was an old man he knew well; time had carved deep wrinkles into his face, but his eyes remained sharp and spirited.
