"Hello! Good Afternoon..! Is there any vacant available Sir?" That was Margaret's immediate question to the teenager who was sitting near the entrance-exit of the PC room. She is sure that this guy is the watchman of those times.

"For how many hours?" He asked politely while standing up.

"Open hour" She answered.

Open hour- means you are willing to pay no matter how long you spend using the computer. 98% of the people who use the PC room are gamers.. But 2% is surely for private matters like her. She is there not to play games, but to hack the CCTV cameras installed in every corner of the road that the van may have traveled on.

According to the descriptions, her mother rode in a black tinted van.

"Give me the seat at the corner." She added to her answer to the child.

She followed him and opened the monitor.

"Here...." She handed the money for the advance payment.

You have to pay an advance fee if you use an open hour.

"Thank you." After the boy received his money, he returned to his own seat. She, on the other hand, started pressing the 'keyboard'.

"......lets see..." She whispered.

There's a lot of black vans passing by that were spotted by CCTV.. But she didn't see anything suspicious.

"This is difficult.. Da*n it!"

20 minutes later...

She noticed a dark gray van turning the road and heading towards an abandoned building. The said building was a large house that burned down. The owner doesn't want to fix it anymore because it's impossible. So they just abandoned it.

"Gotcha.." After she memorized the road and location.. She quickly hacked the police communication line.. (A.N. this is just all my imagination.. Don't take it seriously)

After sending the location details... Kidnapping details.. And victim information, she quickly stood up and headed for the exit door.

"I'm done..." She smiled at the teenager who also looked at her.

"You can't last."

" oh... My friend is not online. We were supposed to play."

"Ahhh... This is your change Sister.." The teenager held out her change.

"Thank you..." She smiled sweetly in return.

When she got out of the said internet cafe. She called for a Jeepney and got in. After an hour of traveling. She also reached her destination. Before getting off. The driver told her to be careful because it was getting late. She thanked him. She took the dark road towards an abandoned building that was standing just in the distance. The said building used to be a big mansion that according to the information she read on the internet earlier, was owned by one of the richest people in the town of Caloocan. But the owner abandoned it and moved to America with his family.

"Da*n! If only I had a mobile phone!" She gritted her teeth.

Well.. She can't blame the mother for the hardships of their lives.

"I will earn some money once I find the perfect vacant time." She whispered while walking.

She stopped walking only 100 meters away from the building, it is big.. The question is.. Where is the exact location of her mother?

"You really an idiot woman...." The voice inside her mind..

"Whaaa----- Phoenix?" She sure heard it.

"En.. I already gave you power yet you only used it once?" The bird said to her.

"Used it once? When?" She asked in surprise.

The Phoenix groan.. "When you broke the face of your classmate's brother... No, that was wrong, let's rephrase it. When you one-sidedly beat up the siblings.." The bird is mocking her.

"Stop blaming me.. It's their fault.. They are bullies".. She defended herself.

"Yah... Whatever."

"So, you said I used your power. Why don't i remember?"

"Remember the scene that time.. You'll understand"

She paused for a second. Then she remembered something..

"Whoah!!!" She exclaimed while her eyes also widened. "It was that power?!.. Is that why Joseph's punch was so slow?"

"No and yes.."

"What?... What do you mean?" She frowned when she asked.

"It's not because of my power that his punches are slow... But because your eyes are reading its punches flow.. And it's also because of my power that your reaction is fast." The bird explained.

"Woooowwww! Thats really cool.." She looked excited.

"You're so happy just because of that?" Tsk... Listen carefully kid.. Look up there.. The third floor.." He ordered her and she obeyed. "Then think that you're looking through it."

"Imagine that my gaze penetrates.. Yeah... Yeah.. Okay." She whispered... And she started concentrating..

It was just a moment and she didn't know if she saw an illusion or what, but it was unbelievable that she could see people inside the building.

"Whoaaa! This is so cool! If by chance I had this power back then, I would be alive today.." She said.

"Aren't you still alive now?" The Phoenix.

" ahhh.. Yes, by the way... Hehe.." She answered scratching her head.

"You really are brainless.."

"Shut up..."

She looked around. So, that's why she couldn't see any cars outside.. Because the van was already inside the garage.

"How are you gonna rescue your mom?"

"Simple.... Surprise attack.." She replied smiling..

"The h*ll?" Are you a superhero or something??? There are many enemies inside!!!" The Phoenix was exclaiming.. She could imagine that its fire had grown. That's why she smiled.

"I am a top ranked assassin when I was Margaret..." Those people are easy to kill." She replied arrogantly.

"Oh.... Then go.. Just make sure you don't die again. I'm not fully recovered yet to come out of your mind space...."

"Wait... You mean... You can go out here in the human world?"

"But of course!! Am a legendary spirit bird!! Spirit!!!" It screamed.

"Stop shouting.. I get it now.. I'm just surprised..

"Hmph!" The bird became quite.

The girl didn't say a word and started planning... When she's about to run towards the entrance.. Suddenly she heard breaking glass on the third floor. And when she looked up.. she saw a shadow entered the broken window. The shadow comes from the top of the building.. Used a rope to swing inside.

"The hell.. The police have come???!" She said in shock."No impossible.. There's no police mobile.. So who's that?" Using the eyes of Phoenix she scanned the area on the roof of the building.. There still another 1 person.. Armed too.. And there is another 3 persons in the other room near the room that the previous one entered.. "Who the fu*k are they?... The PHOENIX?" She was stunned. No, Impossible. How could the group of assassins that she used to belong to, would go there. She's curious now.

She quickly ran closer to the building.. And using what she learned in her training she easily climbed up windows to windows... She was already at the 3rd floor window when she stopped.

"This host body is weak. Low stamina.. Jeez... I'm going to go jogging to school next time." She whispered while panting.

She scanned the area again.. The man who entered first is currently on the move to take down those guards.. While the other three with him are also busy taking down other guards in another room.. The image she sees now is like human-shaped flames.. That's the power of her eyes now.. hehehe..

"Stop grinning like an idiot.. That's my power not yours.." Phoenix teased her.

"Shut up! She gave a snarky answer to the bird. It didn't answer.

She began to move too... She walked to the room where her mother was locked up. Her mom was unconscious while laying on the floor. She was already in the hallway going to the room when she heard a faint groan. She turned to where it came from, Ohhh.. The guy is injured. The guy who passed through the window. But how come? He has a wound on his back? Eh? How did that happen. All his opponents are in front, tho?

"Oh,It's an old injury.. That's why.... It looks like the wound has opened due to the constant movement.

She kept watching.. His two armed opponents rushed forward with batons but the man quickly avoided them. He kicked one of those who rushed and then he grabbed the other's arm. In one round, he quickly broke the arm he was holding. The owner of the arm screamed.

"Ohhh.. He has potential" She whispered.. She continued to watch.. The man who had been kicked stood up again.. And again, he rushed furiously.. She heard the scream even though they were a room between them.

"Kill him!!!!" Yelled of the man who got kicked.

The other three men in the room followed the order. The next scene was like a movie. They rushed at the same time, Holding the baton. They tried to hit the man but it was difficult to hit. The man is good with his hands. Trained person, 100% sure that he went through intense training like her. One hit landed to man's back which caused his balance to break.

"Da*n it!" Margaret let out a word... "Those fuckers..! They will kill that man for sure. Those loan sharks are indeed so cruel. She couldn't stand it anymore.. She ran towards the room where the fight was happening.

"Kill him now.. He is weak.!" The acting leader of the goons shouted to order his people.

The three approached with a smile on their faces, hoping to attack again, but the door suddenly opened.. A very fast flying kick strike one person.. The one who was hit by Margaret's kick was thrown to the corner of the room.. The people inside the room were stunned.

"Hi...! May I join the fun..?" It's a sweet question from no other than Margaret.

    Jenny and Zion were facing a large black portal. In front of the two of them,was the girl with blue hair and brown eyes. She was staring at Jenny as if she wanted to kill her instantly. "If you're here to fight me, then let's do it. But not here." Jenny said while secretly studying the girl with Phoenix eyes. "Who the hell are you to order me?" The woman answered quickly lowering the temperature around them. Ice power. She didn't know what kind of spirit beasts the woman had but she could tell they were strong. Beyond that, Jenny also noticed the ice fire on the woman's left hand. "I'm sure that you're just following orders. So lead the way." Jenny said. If the woman really wanted to attack her, she should have been sowing trouble in the land before now. But the woman preferred to wait for her to appear in front of her so she knew that someone had ordered her to pick her up. "Hmp! Just you wait, fake Jenny."

The man who was with them was trembling when Jenny arrived. "Ahh.." Jenny's eyes blinked when she saw the other person's anxiety. She sees fear, worry and doubt in the man's eyes. That's why Jenny literally cleared her throat before speaking. "Nice to meet you Mr. President. My name is Jenny Capria Sanchez, and these are my subordinates." Polite introduction of Jenny. The man also cleared his throat and slowly stood up to approach her. This time, the worry and fear in its eyes has decreased a bit. He gave Jenny a smile before standing in front of her. "Yes..

    THE UNEXPECTED INVITATION

    Jenny frowned as she stared at Zion. The bodies of the vampires she burned quickly turned to ashes, while the spirit beast next to Mia Salavador remained smacked on the pavement. "I can't help you, you tried to assassinate us, remember?" Zion replied with a sigh. "I think Jenny won't hurt you. There is a possibility that she might surrender you to the authorities for trying to kill us." Addition of a man. Mia also fell on her seat as her body trembled when she caught a glimpse of Jenny. That's why she has no hope for Zion because Jenny is more than her. She may be beautiful, the family is rich and have an uncle who has power, but he failed to transform. "Jenny..." She tried to call the woman's name but she just pulled out the fire door again which was the entrance to a place she didn't even know where. The place inside is full of crystals, diamonds, rubies and gold. That's how rich Jenny is. "I'm not in my world to talk to the woman who tried to kill me with my whole f

    Jenny is currently talking to the staff on top of the building while Zion is talking to the leaders of the Philippine military. The atmosphere is quiet again except for people who are constantly curious and taking videos to post on social media. "Little boss, I received a call from anonymous." Cain spoke. "What does it say?" Jenny asked while adjusting the new communication device that Cain had given her. Because the communication device that she had in his suit burned earlier due to her transformation. Her body turned into fire when she uses Banawa's power. "They said, they want to talk to their colleague who is currently your captive. I will connect you to her, little boss." Cain replied. Jenny just nodded while glancing at her boyfriend who was still talking to the head of the armed forces of the Philippines. Her father was talking to a reporter while occasionally pointing the camera at them. Maybe the Reyes and DeCordova families already know her true personality.

    Everyone turned to see the newly arrived creature in the area. Meanwhile, Jenny noticed the trembling of the vampire next to her while staring at her. "What?! Are you that surprised to see me like this?" She raised her eyebrows as she asked him. The man nodded one after the other as he looked from time to time at the newly arrived creature. This sea mammal may be known as a whale but in the world of spirit beasts, they call it Cetacean. Cetacean's power is water but it can also turn water into ice. "W-why is he here?" The vampire asked with his voice still shaking. "Hmmm? Who?" Jenny asked. "That..." Jenny's gaze followed what the vampire was pointing at. Ahh.. A man is currently sitting on top of the Cetacean's head. This may be the spirit Master of the said spirit beast. It was wearing a white robe with a blue stripe on the chest. The man's eyes are white with blue edges. It's like wearing blue eyeliner. "He has that powerful thing, but why do you loo

"Please give us order, Master." One of Lucian's colleagues, Mila, said. Jenny didn't say anything at first, she glanced at the position of the government soldiers who were currently dispatched to the entire area. When she turned to the left, she saw a tall building with people hanging out on top. "Gotcha!" She whispered into the wind. The colleagues who heard what she said frowned. He also looked in the direction Jenny was looking at. Jenny's eyes narrowed when she saw a rocket heading in their direction. "Courage ah.." She whispered again.

    When they arrived at their house in Tagaytay, Jenny was immediately greeted by the maids and the children with worried faces. Mr. Leo who was left at the Sanchez mansion was obviously relieved to see her get out of the car. "Jenny!!" The old man happily called her name. She approached it and hugged as she greeted the others who greeted her. They went inside followed by the companions who picked them up at the airport. Jenny entrusted Tommy with taking care of the fifteen new recruits that were their new companions. "Jenny is very tired. She needs to rest." Said Zion looking at his Grandfather. The old man understood him and immediately sent the couple up the stairs of the mansion. Jeniva was left downstairs who was assigned to explain to the worried staff.

    "Yes! Master!" The fifteen spirit masters who were his new disciples answered at the same time. Fammy and David stood up straight when they saw the sudden rush of Jenny's new companions from other countries. Even more surprising, if her eyesight wasn't deceiving her, he saw that some of them seemed to float in the air. While others on the flat are faster than the speeding motorcycle.     "W-what did I just see?" Fammy asked Jeniva next to her in shock. Jeniva just glanced at her with a smile in response. While David and Lui were also stunned while watching. In front of them, a series of gunshots were heard from the side of those who ambushed them.     "Just knocked them down don't kill them. I have something to ask them." Jenny's voice was normal but clearly reached the hearing of the fifteen staff. Everyone saw that the armed opponents in the front fell one by one. The bodyguards who were left, breathed a sigh of relief, but Jenny w
