Bea didn't even get to that level. So, before lunch, she approached her father, busy with hugging her mother and kissing her neck and cheeks.

"Dad,

" She called. Fin turned to her.

"Yes, honey?

"

"Can I talk to you?

"

Fin nodded but he didn't let go of her mother.

"Alone, please.

" She said and sighed. He kissed her mother and Fin followed under the stairs.

"What's up?

" He asked. She sighed.

"I don't want to take over your army.

" She said softly.

"Why not?

" Fin creased his brows.

"I don't want to do what Zendaya and Demi and Athena are doing. Breaking other's nose. Although I enjoy it, I just—I just want to be an architect and engineer.

" She said it straight. She knew that her father wouldn't like it because she's firstborn and everyone expects from her a lot.

"Are you sure about that?

" He asked, sound so serious and probably dangerous. But her father doted her and she knows that he didn't have a choice.

"Yes.

"

"Hmm.

" He sighed and turned back and then faced her again.

"Okay.

" He nodded, deciding in a very short time.

"The time that you get a vision, catastrophic one, you need to learn how to counter it. That's what you are going to do in-exchange of letting do whatever you want.

"

"Okay.

" She nodded.

"You aren't going to run like a chicken,

"

"Okay. I won't.

" She nodded again.

"You are going to let Noah be with you.

"

She stopped and then nodded again.

"You are going to plan for your past visions before going out of this city for your project.

"

"Yes, sir.

" She nodded again.

"That's deal then. Thunder will take over your position.

"

"That means I am free from all of the training?

" She asked with a beam.

"No. You still have to train. You'll be the next in line.

" He patted her head, turned back, and walked off.

"Dad come on! I should just spend my time creating!

" She followed him.

"No. You still going to do it.

" He told.

"Oh, that's why you are so hard on me in our training and I can't keep up, because Thunder is a boy and he exercised every day and night, while I slack off?

"

"Yes, that too,

" Fin told and then he stopped to catch up with her and put his arm around over her shoulder.

"You should feel better because I didn't torture you like Freya tortures the twins.

"

Bea looked at the twins who are still squatting. It's been twenty minutes and their legs are wobbling. Freya waved them off and the twins dramatically fell on the floor.

Esme is tired and hungry. But she enjoyed the training. Taekwondo is great and since she's flexible, she easily could do the stretching and some splits. But not on the level that she could kick something higher than her. She went to the living room, still wearing the dobok with the little girls and little boy.

There, she saw her big brother with Kale, Nathaniel, Kade, and Levi with lots of ice bags on a few spots.

"What's wrong?

" She asked them. Laurence patted the space beside him, and she sat down.

"We spar and got bruises,

" Laurence told. She nodded and being them topless didn't even bother her.

"Oh.

" She stood.

"You enjoy your ice bags. I'll just go with those little princesses.

" She said.

They waved them off. Sophia is filming them as she leaned on the sofa. Those boys topless with ice bags and they got great packs of abs and then there's Thunder who also have much to show. Though, he's not that bulky. He's the slim type but with build-up muscles that shows a pack of abdominal.

****

Timothy put an ice bag over Zendaya's bruises at her arm. She said that it didn't hurt so he just pressed it there. She seemed to be immune to any pain.

"We can't make love tonight.

" He finally said.

"Why not?

" She creased her brows.

"I still need to work on lots of things and you need to sleep for your training. Okay?

"

"We don't have training tomorrow. We need a day rest for our body to relaxed.

"

Timothy patted her head.

"Sleep tight tonight. Okay? You are tired.

"

She rolled her eyes. Tim only laughed and kissed her lips.

Cyra is busy typing on her laptop to build up to something for her nanomites. She's currently taking out all of the materials that she needed for building this and in the upcoming summer, she will stay to the facility to build it up.

"I wonder about what you are busy about,

" Aria said and sat down on the chair across her. She looked around the books and sighed.

"It's lunchtime. I came here to fetch you.

"

"Yeah, okay.

" Cyra logged out her computer and she took it with her as they went to the dining hall.

Once everyone is gathered, they pray and eat. The boys are eating a lot and also the girls. Mostly, Zendaya, Athena, Demi, and Bea. Their bodyguards are also eating with them and Cyra couldn't help but observe Bea and Noah. They looked so obvious together. The way they would look at each other and the way one is watching the other.

She also realized that Rhys and Raiden are also peeking at Bea and then, they would ignore it and it a lot. She only shrugged about it. This family is getting bigger than before. There are upcoming babies and they adopt few into the family which she just hopes that won't ever betray their family. Because if one would, then all of them will be in danger including those little princesses and little princes.

"So, where did you go off last night?

" Zachary asked Timothy. Timothy stopped eating.

"We go to check out the latest bar,

" Zendaya answered.

"Why? We arrived home before eleven.

" She told.

"Hmm.

" Zach only nodded.

"is that true?

" Dmitri asked and looked at Demi. Demi nodded and kept eating as Christian put more food on her plate.

"Then, why does it say that you guys went off to a stripping club?

"

Somehow, even though they turned off their locations or changed locations, their parents would know.

"We just watch some butterflies dancing,

" Bea answered and the twins nearly choke. She laughed and covered her mouth.

"Was it fun?

" Steven asked Bea. Bea nodded as she winked at her Uncle.

"Where is it located?

" he asked almost a whisper and Freya smacked his arm.

"Some bar, huh?

" Zachary frowned at Zendaya.

"It's a bar with a strip club on it,

" Zendaya explained.

"We drink a little and eat a little until the black butterfly named Mariposa came and grinned on the boys. Somehow, it's that girl who hit Demi.

"

Dmitri stopped.

"So, your main purpose to go there is to watch that girl dance naked?

" Dmitri asked her more like interrogating her. Everyone should get scared, but Demi never got scared of her father.

"Not really.

"

"It's was me.

" Kale raised his hands.

"I wanted to experience how to be in a strip club.

"

"Oh.

" Stanley only said while his mother is glaring at him.

"It's fine, honey. Boys will be boys.

" He smiled at her.

"We didn't join the auction and we just watched,

" Kale explained.

"So, what did you guys observed?

" Andromeda asked like it was casual that her daughter went to the strip club.

"So, I observe is, VIP people from the Seat 14 are a group of syndicates. Then VIP Seat 14 is a Mafia boss who probably liked the Black Butterfly.

"

"What's the name of the Mafia boss?

" Andy asked.

"I forget the name, but he's the one who stole billions of money from the China Bank. I mean, the boss.

" She told.

"Demi?

" Andy asked Demi.

"Besides the group of syndicates, I also saw Senator Martin in the strip club. He's currently helping Francisco Company and I think, he's the sugar daddy of Hazel. However, it's not just Senator Martin, but there is also a police officer. From his build and how he stiffly sat…I noticed him and his badge on his belt that was hidden under his jacket.

" Demi said.

"They are discussing the Phoenix Empire.

" She said casually.

"And,

" Andy turned to the twins.

"Boys?

"

"Well, we—

" The two stammered.

"We are busy watching those girls strip and dance and grind on the poll.�� They answered Andromeda.

"Okay,

" Andy said.

"Let's do it again, shall we?

" Andy looked at Kale.

"This time, you aren't going there to watch girls strip. You will be there to check everything around. Familiarize and read body language.

"

Athena sighed.

"Does this mean that I have to go with them?

" Athena asked Sabrina. Sabrina nodded.

"It's part of the training. Mostly, the deals will come inside that bar or club.

" Sabrina told.

"It's basic. Although you might seem that you are enjoying it, you still need to know everything around you. That also includes a little investigation.

" She explained.

"Okay, I'm in,

" Athena said casually.

"So, we will go back to that strip club?

" Kale asked.

"Yes,

" Andromeda answered and he grinned.

"This is all about training, Kale.

"

"Yes, ma'am.

"
