Bellamie stared at the back that hadn't moved from its position. The night in West Metro was actually very beautiful. A large window made of glass showcased most of the outside view. Bellamie could open it with a single automatic button located to the right of the window. But she didn't do it because the blowing wind was quite strong. They were actually ready to sleep, but it seemed something was bothering Xavier. Her husband pulled back the blanket and sat, staring at the large window. Perhaps, Bellamie thought, he assumed she was deeply asleep, allowing him to momentarily leave her who was still comfortably covered with the blanket.In fact, since Xavier returned from the city center, they had been talking casually. Gala, who had started to show less worry, also joined in, though he wouldn't move from Cathleen's side. Bellamie understood her son's feelings and actions very well. Although Seth had advised and warned Gala to at least rest, it seemed the young man chose to ignore it. B

Ever since Xavier first saw Bellamie in that alley, he knew he was smitten. His bright light brown eyes were always full of enthusiasm and high optimism. From the height of the buildings surrounding Bellamie's destination, he had been watching her. Even if the dark brown-scarfed girl was smart enough to read the situation, she wouldn't have stepped into that deserted alley that could put her in danger. Yet, those eyes once again disturbed Xavier, where there was a high spirit accompanied by a smile, indicating that she had many hopes.Xavier's eyes betrayed him, even though he didn't need to care, right? His body followed Bellamie from a distance. Out of the many women he had encountered over the hundreds of years, why was he drawn to this woman as if pulled by a magnetic field? Even if examined closely, her face wasn't overly beautiful, and her body could be said to have the typical South Metro woman's posture.True to Xavier's suspicions, a crime occurred in that alley. Seeing that

Nothing Maverick likes more than these recent days. He still enjoys being alone, observing from the height how South Metro is starting to come alive again. While puffing smoke from his cigar and occasionally disturbed by Russel's quite demanding reports, Maverick genuinely likes it. Not without reason, he feels like finding a new spirit to make South Metro more advanced. In any aspect. Even if it can compete with someone like Alexander Millian.The smoke he exhales from his cigar has filled the room again. It's been several minutes where he hasn't done anything except stare at the beautiful scenery from his current position. The recent reports from Russel also show many things that make Maverick smile broadly. Until..."Is this your only activity, Mave?" The door to his room opens wide, and the intruder enters as if he owns the place. Walking without feeling guilty at all. His white robe follows the constant movement of his walking feet."Don't you have anything else to do besides bot

Xavier was in quite an awkward situation as he walked with his son. Just the two of them. At a time when things could be considered peaceful and not much to worry about. This was actually a great and rare opportunity, right? He should make the most of this time and, if possible, continue to make an effort to be with Gala and Bellamie. This is what he's doing while waiting for Cathleen to wake up. Occasionally, Xavier asks Kyler about Cathleen's progress privately because there's a lot to talk about regarding Cathleen. Although what they really need to increase is the waiting time.Except for one thing that, for Xavier, could be considered a disturbance. Interruptions from Erick, which have already made Xavier quite annoyed. But he can't just chase the guy away because the political relationship has been established for a long time.He understands why Erick is pressing him and asking for information about his only son. After all, Xavier clearly knows the consequences that will come onc

The dice spins in the middle of the arena between Gala and Xavier, forming an invisible but very thick special dome that won't be affected by the multitude of shots fired. The vast area is almost entirely used by them, with several walls and other obstacles standing. Each of them holds their own favorite weapon, and behind Gala's back, there are twin swords that always accompany him. The same goes for Xavier."Don't hesitate to shoot at me, Kid."Gala chuckles. The long-barreled weapon he's been using since earlier quickly reloads, and in just a few seconds, Gala reappears from behind a wall quite distant from his father. His father does the same. From the beginning of their training with weapons, he knows his son's capacity is above average. "When did I try to defeat you? You're the one who said not to be careless against anyone."Xavier's laughter is heard along with a shot aimed at Gala. It almost hits his temple, where the shot makes a deafening sound as it hits the wall that was
