"Good job Cortney, next similarly execute Wyatt. And bring back the two false relics to the Circle. Let the fools know that the Circle does not do losing deals." Said a skinny old man dressed in grey rode as he greedily glanced over Cortney's voluptuous body.

"Old bones, keep your eyes where they should be otherwise I will fix them for you. And you do not need to tell me I know how to do my job." Courtney would have already killed this creepy old man if he was not her mothers immediate superior. Her mother did promise her strength and power but she forgot to mention the shackles that came with them.

"Feisty, Like mother like daughter, uhh. I tamed your mother, soon I will tame you too." Saying that the Old man stretched out his long and wide tongue and licked his lips in vulgar fashion.

As the old man harassed her daughter the clown mask just stood quietly by the door keeping guard. Cortney was already numb to disappointment from her mother's actions but she can not leave her mother as she will become alone again which she did not want as she was afraid of being alone.

"Master, the package has safely been delivered to the customer, they are preparing to leave. The customer said that the payment will be paid after they leave the city." A staff courteously reported to the skinny old man.

"That is not what they promised, the deal was we deliver the Whiteburn boy and they give us false relics. Damn those fanatics What are they up to now?" The skinny old man was infuriated on hearing the report given by the staff.

"Master, they said they cannot trust heretics and will only give the relics once they safely leave the city." Answered the staff.

"I remember they said they were going to teleport that boy out of her, what happened?" The skinny old man clearly remembered that the deal was once to exchange the Whiteburn family boy for false relics on the spot, as they would be teleporting out of the city.

"Master, the space surrounding the whole city is locked. Those fanatics cannot use teleportation in the city. At first, they almost went on a killing spree thinking that we double-crossed them. Now they have agreed to give the relics once they are safely out of the locked space." The staff explained patiently as a single misunderstanding could have very serious adverse effects on the relationship between the Circle and the Church running the empire.

"Who dares to lock the space of the entire city?" The Old man furiously enquired having understood the reason for the delay in their plans.

"Master, my guess is it's the Whiteburn family. They have declared martial order as fanatics also attacked the Whiteburn manor. So the Whiteburn family's attention is focused elsewhere as the fanatics kidnapped their offspring." The staff elaborated the plan of the fanatics from the empire.

"Why wasn't I aware that they planned to attack the Whiteburn manor. Damn those fanatics, where do they think they are? This is not their empire, here in the sky blossom city everything happens with the permission of the Circle, don't they know that?" The skinny old man yelled at his subordinates in frustration as he could not do the same to the Michael Angelo Godson church fanatics.

"Master, they said you asked them to do whatever they want during their stay in the Sky Blossom city and you will cover for them." The Staff repeated the argument of the fanatics for their behaviour.

"It seems I did say that, but I did not mean they could fuqing raid the Whiteburn manor. Fuq! Move all the servants, clean up all the mess, make sure that nothing connects back to the circle. Clown, deal with the loose ends, it doesn't matter even if they are small ranking members of the Circle. Damn! Dealing with these religious nuts always ends up biting me in the butt. What can I do? They have the type of woman I like the most." Finally, the old man displayed his true self which was the complete opposite of the arrogant self he showcased earlier. But soon remembering the nun that visited his room yesterday night the old man laughed lewdly.

"Yes, Master." The Staff and the Clown bowed to the old man and hurried left to make arrangements. The Whiteburn family's influence on the city may be less compared to the circle but it was not something to look down on, especially their influence on the black market. With enough time, the Whiteburn family was bound to connect dots to the circle and their involvement. The circle was doing now to only delay them at most.

"Is this the medic ward?"

"Fool, can't you with the red plus symbol and the bold italic characters on the door, which reads Medic ward on the door." Amy said, hearing Beth's question.

" I was being rhetorical. Why do you always have to belittle me? Does it make you feel good? Does hurting my feelings and fighting with me make you happy? Why can't we be like other normal twins?" Hearing Beth, Corey, Amy, Eliza and I were surprised. This was not like Beth. Previously at such insults from Amy or Pax, Beth would be like, 'I will tell our father! I will tell my big sister! When did she become so courageous and smart

"You dumb twin of mine…" Amy was about to retort to Beth but was interrupted by someone whom she did not expect to.

"Hey, can you stop, we are here to visit Pax aren't we let's head in." WTF did I just do, Corey, Amy and Eliza were looking at me with surprised expressions. That was to be expected as they mistook my annoyance as me stepping in to defend Beth. Was it just my annoyance or was I flattered being courted by a gorgeous and charming teenager. Seeing Beth look at me with big and charming anime eyes I started to doubt my intentions.

Embarrassed, I tried to push the door of the medic ward only to find out that it was locked from inside, "Why is this locked? Are you sure Pax was sent to the medic ward?"
