Evan bolted down the stairs at lightning speed!His gaze was fixed on the shadow rapidly running away in the distance.He rushed down the stairs and soon arrived at the vast space filled with a lot of people. He frowned slightly and examined his surroundings.He couldn't find them anymore. “Did they find out about the loop?” He muttered, then took out his phone and sent a message to Claus.After the message went through, he shoved the phone inside his pocket and continued observing the place.A buzz sounded from his phone and he took it out to check what it was.He shoved the phone back in his pocket and dashed towards the place and in no time he was outside the building heading straight towards a lonely street.There was no one in sight… not even a human being.It felt as though the place was an abandoned graveyard and even the sound of insects could not be heard. This could only mean one thing… An enemy had occupied the vicinity.Evan stood still and closed his eyes as he tried to

“Who?”A defining silence fell after that as the world slowed around them.“I must be mistaken,” He muttered and stared at her. Vera frowned slightly as she felt something wasn't right with Evan. Something bad must have happened, and he wasn't telling her what it was.“Why don't you want to talk about it?” She asked instead, but he didn't answer. “I think we are done here. Let's head back home,” Evan calmly replied and proceeded to leave, but she held his hand and stopped him from leaving.“Why aren't you giving me an answer?” She asked worriedly. “Did something happen over there? What about the key? And who was it that found us?”She held him back with the hope that he was going to answer her endless worries, but he didn't.Instead, he stared at the hand that held his, then at her. “ I will inform Claus to take you home,”He gently removed her hands and left her.“Where are you going?” She called out but he didn't answer her.Vera clenched her hands tightly to clear off the pain th

"So what do you suggest? Can you all take over the district?” Evan asked calmly, and in front of him were fifteen or so men. Each one of them has a badge on their breast pocket… and William happened to be the one with the highest number of badges. "Of course, that's easy as we're all skilled in martial arts. We don't know what to expect but hopefully, it isn't too strong for us. We would be able to take over some districts." William explained and Evan nodded his head in understanding."The Seven Birds are not to be underestimated so we must be prepared for whatever is coming. How do you intend to take over the districts? What are your specific skills in martial arts? I need details." Evan inquired, staring at each of his subordinates in the eye.“We are prepared for this, I assure you." William persuaded and that made Evan feel at ease a little bit."We're just new and we have already grown a good number of enemies. Because technically, if we refuse to be their slave as we are going

“You can't be serious, right?” Vera asked stunned by his behavior.The smile on Evan's face completely disappeared and he shot her a look. “Goodness,” She rolled her eyes at him and walked back to the chair.She grumbled but still picked up her spoon and continued eating.Ezra smiled on seeing how they interacted and the image Evan has always displayed in front of her since she woke up completely shattered.‘ I thought he was a cold man… but it looks like I've been wrong all along,’ She thought as she continued eating.“Where should we go after here?” Vera asked as she picked a flute glass to drink. Ezra's brow raised slightly on hearing this and she waited patiently for Evan to give a reply.But instead of a reply, what greeted her ears was silence. Confused, she slowly looked up and was stunned to see a pair of icy sharp eyes staring her way.“D-did I miss anything?” She stuttered nervously under his gaze. Vera noticed this and sighed heavily.There was no helping it!Ezra can on

"Yes?" Ezra's voice trailed off the instant she recognized who the voice belonged to."You did well, but next time make sure to understand the situation before you judge. At times, the customer might be right and the employee might be wrong," Evan calmly said to her and she nodded innocently."I will always learn from you master," She pressed her hands forward and bowed slightly."Stop doing that," Vera said and Evan rolled his eyes."You can call me Evan, instead of this master title," He said and her eyes widened slightly."Okay sir Evan," She replied joyfully."Only Evan," He sighed tiredly and Vera chuckled lightly."Okay, Evan," Ezra replied cautiously as though his name was fire and Vera couldn't take it anymore. She held her stomach as her laugh echoed on the first floor. ...After the dinner at the Mall, they decided to head back home and call it a day. The call pulled into Evan's house and Vera and Ezra stepped out of the car."Aren't you coming inside with us?" Vera asked
