To trick his enemies and his own duplicates, Clown will deliver a serum that can enhance the abilities of a wolf fighter to whomever the duplicate is 'duty' to become a Real Clown with his broken-faced mask. Including the Clown who is now sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room.
But, the serum that Clown gave to his duplicates had been changed and only provided temporary improvements. The serum had no permanent effect like the serum used by Clown himself.
For the awakening stage wolf fighters who become Clown duplicates, the chance to enjoy the serum from Clown and feel for themselves the thrill of being an initiation stage fighter, albeit only temporarily, is, it is something second to none.
Especially when they were 'duty' to replace the Clown and use a half-fanged clown mask, they could feel like a real Clown and act as they pleased. Just as Clown did when attacking Hiro all of a sudden and all the arrogance he showed while in the room.
What a moment, 'Clown' was so proud and delighted. As a awakening stage fighter, by borrowing the Clown's identity and raising his temporary abilities to the initiation stage, he could make Hiro and Maria sit idly by without resisting before him. For 'Clown' it was a pride that was irreplaceable by anything. Something the awakening stage fighters desperately want that becomes a Clown duplicate.
They always hoped inwardly, when their turn to wear the half-fanged Clown mask would arrive. At the same time always hope, when it is their turn to be 'Clown' may no strong enemy seek calculation with them and they themselves become a collision for the original Clown in the hands of his enemies.
Clown's own abilities compared to those of the other initiation stage fighting wolves were vastly different. Clown 'forced' into the initiation stage with the help of the serum he studied, not because of his self-understanding or the normal evolution of his predatory instincts for any fighting wolf. This is like an original compared to KW1. Similar but not the same, with different qualities.
Clown knew that. Therefore, he created all the tricks that now surround him with one purpose, protecting himself.
Not even one of the duplicates knew that the original Clown was from which country. While the Clown duplicates themselves numbering in the tens came from various countries in various parts of the world.
The 43rd clown standing before Clown just lowered his head. What could he do? He had already managed to hit Yasin with his darts, but half an hour later when he tracked down the location of the arrows, he only found traces of blood drops and darts that had been removed from Yasin's body.
Now they've lost Yasin's trail for over 3 hours and that's a long time. If Yasin rides on a motorcycle, he can easily disappear for more than 50-60 km if he drives non-stop for that long.
During these 10 days, beyond Yasin's estimation, Clown actually felt his head almost break while on this hunt. Yasin was very good at removing traces. He also dislikes moving by any method that should leave his identity behind, such as a train, an airplane or a ship.
Although it limited Yasin's wiggle room and he could not escape to a distant place, it troubled Clown who was tracking Yasin. But, Clown had a brilliant idea to wait for Yasin in the house Nia occupied. That's when Clown for the first time managed to meet his prey.
From that day on, the chase between Yasin and Clown was intensively conducted.
Who has lost? Of course Yasin. Clown is a team. He's got dozens of duplicates who can take turns to chase every time for 24 hours without stopping, while Yasin is only alone. People who need to eat, rest, and worship. Gradually, of course this hunt caused Yasin to be exhausted, but he did not give up.
Out of the tens of people, one or two would always manage to find their hunting trail. That's when they tell Clown and Clown to act. The same thing happened over and over again during these 10 days. In Yasin's eyes, Clown seemed to be a figure who all knew where he was going to escape. Though this is all just a matchless hunt between a prey hunted by a group of hunters.

"Are you sure you're gonna let Clown take out Yasin?" ask a man in a soft and firm voice to whom, for there is only one who is seen in this room.
The man was thick-bodied and was sitting casually in a room similar in content to an ordinary company office room.
"I don't care about him" a reply echoed in the room despite not being seen by a second person there.
"Hmmmmm," the man just nodded his head in understanding.
"Even though he's your former herd mate?" asked the man again after being silent for a while.
"I've cut ties with all of them long ago .." an answer was heard back, but this time his voice sounded floating and a little hesitant.
Hearing the answer from Shadow who sounded floating and hesitant, the man only chuckled.
"My father was fierce in the battlefield, but never understood the contents of women's hearts. Left by an unfaithful wife while struggling, and unaware that there was a little girl who loved him wholeheartedly for decades," the man muttered in his laughter.
There was no answer from Shadow to chimed in on the words of the man who referred to Izrail as 'my brother. A while later, he only glanced at one corner of his office room and smiled. He knew that Shadow had just left from where he was standing.
The man then turned his chair around and looked out the glass window from his office. Out there, some sales look busy here and there offering merchandise from this company. A small company engaged in the sale and purchase of used cars.
After a while watching the busyness of his employees, he then lay his body on the back of his soft chair, "Bang, should have been Brother since the first step into the manifestation stage. But since the return of Abang and Abang began a new life with the family Abang, that's when Abang has closed the gap to step there."
"Wolves should live in the wild, sharpen their fangs and claws and use those weapons to hunt down and kill their enemies. And Brother has lost that one way of life" the man murmured in a soft voice to himself.
