'You can't understand. In Reaper City, I had to be on guard every second. Do you think I was careless or I don't care about my surroundings just because I don't talk about it or show it on my face? Don't me I'm not tensed? Doing a shady deal worth a hundred millions of dollars under the nose of those powerful families and organizations with no backup was tiring.'

>>So, you can be tensed. I don't know. I thought your righteous deeds make you a good person, tensed free.

Hearing Lily's sarcastic comment made Emma rolled his eyes. But he ignored her, looking at the twins. "Follow me." He beckoned.

"Zeus, get me Amanda and provide a place for the twins." He whispered.

The twins followed Emma, hearing the brief communication between Emma and Zeus. Coming out of the train station. A slim black car parked in front of them. Without further ado, Emma entered the car while the twins follow not uttering a word.

"Emma! Where the hell have you being…! Do you know how worry I am since the past three days…." Amanda's high-pitched voice came from the other end of the call.

Emma took a deep breath. "Sorry for making worry. But I thought I left a message before leaving. Didn't I?"

"Yeah, I receive your message. But you didn't tell me you'll be gone for three days…?" She grumbled.

"Oh sorry. So, what up.?"

"I'm facing a lot of pressure in the office. I need your help…. If I don't see you… I won't know what to do… I don't know it tiring to work as the head of a company.."

"Relaxed." Emma sighed. "I'm back now. You have nothing to worry about." He assured.

"I knew that already. Hearing your voice gave me the confidence." Amanda whispered, smiling, making it difficult for Emma to hear.

"Good. Don't stop smiling. I'll talk with you later."

  Hearing this, Amanda smiled blossom all over her face, nodding her head. "Ok."

During the call, the twins gave Emma a cursory glance every second. The current Emma differed from the Emma they knew in Reaper City. His voice was bream with confidence. As if nothing could move him. Where did this confidence come from…? They wondered.

'Passenger, you have reached your destination.' A mechanical voice came from the car.

Hearing this, Emma and the twins alighted from the car. In front of them, a small bungalow surrounded by various ornamental flowers, guarded by a white, wooden fence, stood in the serene environment. Tall Trees and bushes filled the environment while the only pathway leads to the small bungalow.

"This is your house from now on." Emma looked at the twins. "Do you like it.?"

Seeing the house and the secluded environment. The twins opened their mouths, but words refused to come out. Emma turned to face them. Seeing their expression. He smiled lightly. 'I guess they never believe in my word.'

'Lily, why is my word not trustable.'

>>Trustable. You make me laugh. 

'What funny…?' He raised his brow.

  >>A word coming from the righteous thief can be trustable right…? Hmm?

'Of course. Being a righteous thief didn't mean I will go back on my word. I must change my image. I must make sure they never doubt my word.'

>>Good luck with that. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Hmm. Hmm.

Emma cleared his throat, waiting for the twins' decision. At once, the twins wake up from their stupor. And behold, Emma was right. They never trust any word that comes from Emma's mouth. But seeing the beautiful house. They knew not what to say.

"Thank you." Arce finally said.

"You don't need to thank me. You're not part of my people. So, it is my responsibility to look after your welfare. I already prepared everything you need in the house. If you need anything else. Dial 001 from the phone inside." Emma paused, looking at the face of the twins. "Is it clear…?"

The twins nodded happily.

"Good. When your lab is ready. I will let you know." Emma straighten is back and entered the car. 

Arce and Jimena's gaze lingered on the departing car with complex expressions on their faces. When they couldn't see the car anymore. They sighed, carrying their bags, entering the house.

"This is a new beginning. Hope it leads to a brighter future." Jimena murmured.

An hour later, Emma arrived at the sanctuary. He stood in front of the enormous screen and exhaled. "I've got accustomed to the sanctuary that makes everywhere pale in comparison with. Just three days and it feels like an eternity." He murmured.

>>Ding*

[All daily missions are activated, starting from tomorrow.]

Seeing the notification, Emma shook his head. "Today… I need a good rest."

It was early in the morning and a young man was performing squats continuously in a small white room filled machine for exercising. His body was full of sweat dripping on the floor. However, is breathing was normal while his expression was serene like an early spring. This young man was Emma. He had resumed his daily mission.

Completing the exercise, he stood up. "I don't even feel anything…" He murmured, wiping off the sweats from his forehead.

>>You can't. Your muscle had been tuned to these daily exercises. Previously, you don't realize this because you did it continuously while not having a break in between. But now, with the slight break, you could feel the changes in your body.

After a couple of minutes, Emma sat in his usual seat and looked at the enormous screen. "Update."

[[50, 000 cyber attacks were defended against the God's App. While I had handled all the threats.]]

[[Three groups are making it difficult for Amanda and the company. These groups are: Vulture gang, Happy house, and the Havid.]]

"Havid…?"

[[Yes, sir. Havid group works in the shadow. I discover their activity recently. They control some of the well-known hotels and mostly the commercial transportation.]]

"Why didn't I discover this previously." He furrowed, pursing his lips.

[[The Havid organization never comes out of their shadow. Other people manage all their resources as proxies. There is sparse news on them on the internet.]]

"Ok." He folded his hand. "So, we have three powerful organizations that we need to deal with urgently."

[[Affirmative.]]

"Continue."

[[13 assassinations had been sent to Amanda and the office. I neutralized all the 13 attacks while 5 of them were on a large scale.]]

"This attack came from these 3 groups, right?" Emma asked with a crispy voice. 

  [[Affirmative.]]

[[3 of the UAV was discovered with these attacks. Yesterday, one of our drones was targeted. Fortunately, I discover their operations on time, avoiding potential destruction of the UAV.]]

"Did you discover who did this among them?"

[[70% probability it came from the Havid organization.]]

"Anything else."

[[Since the attack, Vulture air space is being monitored. I failed to identify the source of this surveillance. It like a ghost, targeting our drones.]]

"What is the preventive measure you put in place against these surveillances." Emma's expression turned cold. 'You're targeting me. This is good. I will have all the right uproot all of you in one go.'

[[I position 50 TerraLink around CommandIntel and Miss Amanda. While I moved all the armed UAVs to the boundary of Vulture. I discover we have 10 seconds' window to attack if the situation warranted it.]]

"Good. Well done."

[[Thank you for the compliment, sir. ]] Zeus's monotone voice softened. 

"How is the mall doing?"

[[Since we took charge of the mall. Miss Amanda has already begun the reconstruction of the damaged part of the building while changing all the old furniture.]]

The enormous screen change at once, displaying the ongoing construction of the mall. Seeing this, it's pleased Emma. 'At least, there isn't an attack on the site.'

"When will this be completed?"

[[3 days.]]

"Have you acquired all the lands where the UAV factory was situated?"

[[Yes. But I had to use some of the TerraLink to complete the deal. Also, the land acquisition took a toll on our finance.]]

"Show me."

Zeus displayed the three-days budget on the screen. It took Emma some seconds to study the budget. Emma pursed his lips. 'The land is not expensive.' He shook his head.

"How big is the land?"

[[1000 meters after the residential area of District 13 belongs to us, sir. This goes far as reaching the sea.]]

"That large!" His mouth slackened. He looked at the landscape on the screen with his eyes widened. 'Is vulture really that useless that people are ready to dispose at all possible means?'

After a few seconds, he recovered from the initial shock, smiling wryly. "What of the sea?… Don't tell me we have the right to it as well." His heart raced.

[[Affirmative.]]

>>Since this is a backward city. Those greedy people will try everything to plunder everything while escaping from it. Lily voiced her opinion after keeping quiet for a while.

"You're right. Anyway, that works better for us." Emma smoothes his hair. "Zeus started recruiting people for the constructions of the factors and begin the construction immediately. You can delve into my personal funds."

[[On it.]]
