IT WAS A FINE MORNING THAT DAY AS THE SUN SHINES ITS BEAM ON THE SPOTTED TREES IN THE CELESTIA...

Once in the Mushroom Kingdom lived an Italian named Mario. He didn’t live for himself, but ate spaghetti. But the trouble is, Smg4 does not allow Mario to enjoy a delicious dinner. And constantly pulls him into various kinds of adventures in which you can easily throw away the hooves. But Mario does not give up, because he knows that at home he is waiting for an unfinished plate of spaghetti.

Nicolo takes the boy out of the City of Lake and brings him to the wolf's den. It is located in the eastern part of the City of Lake. A forest that was so wide, many resources can be found in the forest like mines, rivers, stones, and potential quarrying sites. Many wealthy people want to hold these assets and make money out of it but for them to get a hold of these treasures they must get rid of the monsters first and then the guardians of the forest, The Wolf Tribe.

The Wolf Tribe has a long history of protecting the forest, they have a few shapeshifters and pureblood dire wolf. The strongest wolf is the 'black' ones that can handle physical and magical capabilities, the white wolf specializes in casting magic and the brown ones are the regular fighter of the tribe.

The eye color also contributes to how strong a  wolf is, the rarer the eye color the stronger the wolf. The most common is black, next is brown, the rare color is blue and red and the special is two different colors indifferent eye.

Nicolo arrived at the den, the night guards pay respect to their elder guardian. 

"Be observant!" Nicolo said and smiled at them. The guards thanked Nicolo and resume their night duty.

Nicolo headed were to see the matriarch. He will report what had happened and ask if he can take care of the boy he carried because this is the only thing that his deceased best friend left.

Nicolo arrived at the front of the hut.

"Pardon my intrusion,"  Nicolo said as he entered the hut. 

Inside the hut there was an old woman, she was wearing a tiger's fur and has some necklace and earrings with fangs attached to it, her beautiful white hair matches her red eyes. She was the last 'Champion' of the wolf tribe and due to her old age, she cannot fight anymore and just waiting for the day she will die.

Nicolo put the down the boy and put him to the chair, still asleep even with the long journey they have. The boy looks so exhausted 'this kid must suffer hell himself, I must make his life worth living for!" Nicolo said with a smile on his face.

"How is it Nicolo?" a bossy tone coming from the Matriarch.

"Jen, Mario... he's gone, he killed himself ...the reason is unknown but I manage to find his legacy," Nicolo said and get a glimpse of the child "And the whole caravan's members are now gone missing, I don't know what happens... No signs and clues!" Nicolo reported with a worried face.

The Matriarch sigh, she knows that without the information network of the clowns they won't know the possible move of the Nobles anymore! This is a really bad sign for them. Although the wolf tribe is strong there are only a hundred of them, if the Order of the Knights of the City's soldiers come to raid anytime. They will be on a very hard spot escaping!.

"Strengthen our force, Nicolo, ready for evacuation at any moment. The cubs and the kids must survive the calamity that may happen!" The Matriarch's face is full of uneasiness and Nicolo can see that.

Nicolo approached the Matriarch and then he gives the Matriarch some hug and a kiss. Even though they're old they can still show they're affections in each other.

Jen and Nicolo were best friends in their youths. Nicolo never shows his love for Jen, because he thinks that they are like heaven and hell, they can't live together and thus Nicolo just always be the friend together with... always supporting Jen. But one day when Jen was on the City of Lake exchanging for the goods she got from hunting there was a group of people watching her every step.

The moment Jen finished her business to the city and on her way back to the den the people who're watching her from afar captured her by the order of slave traders.

She was caged and treat like a wore. Nicolo and ... was worried because Jen did not come to the den in a week.

Nicolo felt an intense pain in his chest as if it's gonna tear apart. With the help of ..., they infiltrate the city and disguised himself as a trained dog of a clown.

Because of the information networks of the clown they manage to know where Jen's location is.

Nicolo and Mario were so angry that their killing intent can be felt. 

The moment they arrive at a fruit store, it was the 'slave prison' in disguise that all of the soon to be sold slave is put together in a very dark cage.

Mario went to entertain the mass outside by using his 'clone skill'  he makes 3 clones and he ordered them to dance at making jokes.

Because of the distracted crowd, none will suspect that they infiltrated the 'slave prison'. 

Thanks to Nicolo's eye, he can see in the dark while Mario, the clown just follows his instructions to where to go. Nicolo then saw the stairs and begin to walk.

After going down for about 3 minutes, they arrive at the bottom of the stairs, there some torch in each prison cell they see different kinds of monster enslave, elf and many more.

The two of them began to look for Jen.

At the 6th cell, they saw Jen, she was covered with blood and her clothes are ripped. Jen senses the income two and then when he saw the two she smiles.

"Thank you! I'm glad that you two are here" After saying those words Jen suddenly collapse.

In a hurry, Mario makes a key using his blood, it is one of the bloodline skill of 'Demonic Jester' ... the 'Blood Manipulation'.

After making a key, they open the cage and take Jen out of this miserable prison. Nicolo carries Jen in a bridal style and began to make haste through the exit.

But Nicolo did not sense Mario to follow up. Nicolo looks back and he saw Mario was looking at the front of the elf' cage.

He wants to take the elf away too.

But Nicolo shakes his head, a sign that he refused what Mario is thinking, they might be caught if they stay too long. But for Mario, this is the right thing to do and he began summoning the 3 clowns that are performing outside.

He gives the 3 of the different keys to free all of the slaves in each prison cell!

Mario then opens the cage of the elf.

'This elf is so beautiful but those goddamn nobles just make the elf a plaything.'
Mario grinds his teeth in anger.

"I will give you a new life kekeke," Mario said and extend his arm to the elf.

Mario looks like a clown that gives a balloon to a child, his smile gives a trusting vibe and because of this, the elf felt comfortable.

The elf then accepts Mario's hand and he carries him in the back and they make haste through the exit.

The other cells were on the uproar! 

Due to the variety of monsters and other beings, they started to fight and the guards of the prison cell make their action!

But the guards arrive late too bad for them, they lost almost 75% of the slave!
and they didn't even manage to see the face of the culprit.

They manage to safely save Jen without any casualties.
...

After the kissing scene of the two oldies.

The boy finally wakes up in his long sleep.

"Where am I?" he said and then he rubs his eyes.

Nicolo and Jen smile at each other.

"I think, we finally have a child? Isn't Jen?" Nicolo said while laughing and he was looking at Jen with a cute face.

Jen's face was blushing even thou they're old they can still act like a teenager.

"You're in our Den, wait what's your name?"

"I am Kyle...I was on the caravan earlier... Mr. Master?! where is he? Did I get my reward?" the boy looked at Nicolo with a worried face.

It looks like a kid that taken away his candy.

Kyle does not know why he is in this kind of place. He just wishes to change his cruel present and have a normal life, like a normal child.

Nicolo notices that the kid was uneasy, he approaches the kid and knelt to make their line of sight equal.

"What's your name Granny?" the kid asked.

"I AM NOT A GRANNY! ...the name's Nicolo, and she is Jen" Nicolo shouted at first, he does not like to be called a granny. Jen put her hand to cover her mouth because she was laughing.

Nicolo then gives her a 'Stop!' look and a very dark aura can be felt in his look. Jen just ignored Nicolo's glare.

"Nice to meet you, Kyle, I am Jen," she said and then smiled.

"Can I eat something granny?" Kyle said because his stomach begins to growl!

"Take care of him, Nicolo," Jen said.

Nicolo nodded and take Kyle to his hut and feed him.

They arrive at the place, the hut of Nicolo was just small, there was just a chair, a small table for two people a bed and some books about magic. Nicolo begins to cook while Kyle was looking around inside his hut. 

"May I look at the books? Granny?"

"I AM NOT A GRANNY!" Nicolo shouted.

"Hahaha! I will take a look at the books Mr. " Kyle said, he was enjoying teasing the old man Nicolo.

Kyle begins to open the books. Kyle got an interest in learning magic, but he knows himself that his capability of learning skills are too low because he has a Grade D magic.

Kyle's innate magic was 'Doppel Ganger' a skill that let him clone himself with a limited time duration of 6 hours, every time he uses his skill it will slowly consume his stamina and if he doesn't have enough stamina, the skill will consume his own body's nutrients.

When he was on the slums he resorted to being a pickpocket, he will use his body 'double' and make it distract the people while he was busy looking for their wallets and valuables. He's saving money for him to join the 'adventurer's guild' to earn more money. But some thugs always get his money and always beating him hard and because of this he always starve but the day the caravan appears in the City of Lake, he was not letting the opportunity to slide, he was slowly taking the money of the crowd while he was walking to get close to the front for him to play the game.

That was the reason why Kyle was able to play the game.

"Hey Kyle, come here the food's done."

Nicolo gives him a cup of rice and some curry.

Kyle couldn't wait to eat as his watery mouth is running.

Kyle was too hungry thus he eats as thrice a normal kid and as fast as he can. The look on Nicolo's face is really good as if he's watching his son eating.

"Slowly you might choke, Here eat more." Nicolo even gave his food to Kyle.

'I hope I have a child too' Nicolo takes a deep breath.

After Kyle finishes to eat he tell him to take a rest after eating.

"Can I just finish this one?" Kyle was holding to a book called, 'The Elementary Magic Guide'

Kyle's eyes were just like a puppy begging to have some bone!.

Nicolo nodded. "Hmmm we will go to the Academy, I will enroll you!"

Kyle couldn't believe what he was hearing.

'Academy?!, A Magic Academy?' Kyle's head was partying!

...

The next morning, When Nicolo wakes up he checks Kyle and he felt that the kid has a burning fever.
And it's magical power is unstable.

Nicolo was worried, his eye's change into color violet and he try to inspect Kyle's mana flow using his 'Keen Eye'

The concentration of mana was accumulated under his left eye!.

Nicolo cast a 'Silence' magic but the concentration of magic didn't stop but the opposite happened it was accelerating at incredible speed, is this will continue! Kyle's head will explode!

Nicolo goes out to the hut of Shaina, the tribe's best healer!

Kyle wakes up as if nothing is happening in his body.

But after a second his head and eyes began to ache and there was an itchy feeling under his left eye.

After that, he's feelings began to stabilize his head and eyes ache has gone.

But the Itchy feeling under his left eye is still there.

Suddenly, Nicolo came back to the hut together with a beautiful lady, with brown skin and black hair, her body is slim and her chest is well grown but her eye was odd, the left is black and the right was blue. The lady got a potion in his hands.

"Are you okay?!" Nicolo said after entering the hut. He was really worried he even checks Kyle the moment he returns.

'The accumulation is gone?' Nicolo wondered why it suddenly has gone.

'What happens' he said and sighed.

Nicolo looks at Shaina and they together nodded.

Shiana sits down in the bed where Kyle was.

"Do you feel anything odd?" Shaina said.

"This is Itchy miss," Kyle said and then he pointed where the itchiness is.

Shiana takes a look at Kyle's face carefully and he saw something.

"A green diamond mark?!" Shaina said.

Nicolo got surprised!

He remembered what Mario said!

'Every Jester has its unique mark...Look mine's a star on my right hand, It will make my hand much stronger than in any part of my body...If I wish to grab that whole cow...My hand will get bigger to fulfill my wish... you know! kekeke'

'What powers will this mark will give to this kid' Nicolo thought of this thing.

"Hey Granny, what's that look on your face? Anyways what time we will go to the Academy?" Kyle's smile is super wide.

'It reminds the smile of Mario.'

"Eat first and then take a bath, change your clothes and we will go there after you finish"

-Know more about the story of Kyle in this novel!-

The players on the battlefield could not hear the fury outside. Yang Nuo, who was in a different dimension, could not even hear Quan Zhen Sect's calls. Seeing the nine burly men inching in, Yang Nuo was pitiful and helpless as even rated things could happen.
Of course, this could happen in other books. Rotten content does not exist in this book.
Seeing Rolling Mario and the rest inch in, Yang Nuo frowned and panickedly asked, "Where is this?"
"Hehe!" Rolling Mario laughed, "Don't worry, you can't feel pain in the game!"
As he spoke, Rolling Mario gave a hand signal, "Attack!"
Rolling Mario was a very careful person. Although Yang Nuo was a girl, she was a girl from Quan Zhen Sect… She must not be too weak so Rolling Mario had arranged a tactic. Upon his order, Rolling Mario sent a [Holy Flame] at Yang Nuo to mute her.
"F*ck! Nine vs one and they still muted her. How shameless!" The players outside saw what Rolling Mario did, and were agitated. This b*stard really was the epitome of shamelessness.
Although Archer was a physical attack job, it had one of the lowest demand for skills. When they were outnumbered, the skills could still be executed and being able to control was very important. Rolling Mario muted Yang Nuo which was akin to handicapping her.
They already had the absolute upper hand but still did not dare to confront her. If this was not being shameless, what was it?
After Rolling Mario muted Yang Nuo, soon, two Guardians lifted their shield to block Yang Nuo from escaping. Under the protection of a Magician and Archer, two Assassins used [Haste] and ran towards Yang Nuo in [Stealth].
Rolling Mario hid at the back and yelled, "Stab her back, aim for instant death. Don't give her any opportunity to retaliate."
Seeing what happened, everyone despised Team Red Flame even more. Completely surrounding her in attacks… They really did not leave any way out… 
If it was usual tactics, everyone would think that Team Red Flame respected their opponent but after so much scheming, the nature of their actions changed.
However, Rolling Mario was like Fearless who used any tactic without caring what others thought. After all, this was a competition. It was most important to minimise damage on their side. So long as they could win, image was nothing.
Under Rolling Mario's command, their circle shrunk and Yang Nuo kept stepping backwards until she was almost forced into a corner of the scene.
By then, two Assassins had already charged to Yang Nuo, ready to stab her.
The Assassins were invisible to Yang Nuo but to her teammates and the spectators, they could see him as he was in a semi-transparent shadow.
Just as everyone thought Yang Nuo was going to die for sure, Yang Nuo suddenly took a step forward and the two Assassins' attack fell short.
Yang Nuo rotated to behind one of the Assassins. She lifted her crossbow and trigger and shot at that the back of the Assassin's head.
An Archer's regular attack was not strong compared to an Assassin's. Even though Assassin was a vulnerable job, they might not be killed in one shot. However, Yang Nuo's weapon was Ancient grade and she was a freestyle mode player which had extra damage added. After three continuous arrows, that Assassin was shot out of the battlefield before he could turn around.
<System Notification: You killed enemy, Lifeless Ji, and obtained one point.>
"F*ck! She counter-killed!" The players watching saw how Yang Nuo suddenly counter-killed and got surprised and emotional.
They were emotional as she was an expert but they were surprised that there was such a capable player in the preliminary round.
Even Ling Longmeng was stunned by Yang Nuo's counter kill.
All these while, Yang Nuo was quite low profile in the team especially when compared to a very high profile expert like Wang Yu, she did not stand out.
Hence, Ling Longmeng always thought Yang Nuo was on the same level or weaker than her. However, that one shot made her change her perception.
Yang Nuo's step forward seemed so casual as though she knew someone would assassinate her… For players to do that, they had to predict by counting the time and their speed from the moment they went in [Stealth]. Players were not AI robots and might change their actions midway so it was very hard to predict.
Ling Longmeng was even more surprised that Yang Nuo had stepped backwards quite a distance. She could multitask while moving back and determined their speed. This lady's skills was definitely nowhere below the rest of Quan Zhen Sect.
Of course, Ling Longmeng underestimated Yang Nuo's skills. She was also from a martial arts family and although she was not as eye-catching as Wang Yu, she had pretty good talent. Although she did not have a strong killer sense like Wang Yu, hers could still be felt within two metres… It was naturally not difficult to avoid an Assassin's attack.
"I didn't think she's so good," Ling Longmeng said in surprise.
Mu Zixian was still worried, "Sighs, there's still so many of them. I don't know if Little Nuo can handle it."
Ling Longmeng was not bothered, "Don't worry, a one-for-one exchange is good enough!"
"…" In the face of Ling Longmeng's generous calculations, Mu Zixian was speechless.
"F*ck, this girl is not simple! Hurry, protect Old Bai!"
Just as the spectators were in shock, the players from Team Red Flame reacted. Simultaneously, the Magician and Archer sent long-distance attacks towards Yang Nuo.
As the magic arrows flew down from the sky, Yang Nuo dodged aside and agilely hid behind the other Assassin, Bai Yutang.
Yang Nuo had a very small build and Bai Yutang was a man. Even though Assassins were agile too, he was still a lot bigger than Yang Nuo. She hid behind him, causing the long-distance attackers behind the Guardians to lose their target. Yang Nuo gently pushed Bai Yutang and he could not help but took a step forward.
"Dang!!" "Dang!!" "Boom!"
Two arrows and an icicle smashed on Bai Yutang's head, brutally wounding him. Yang Nuo took out a dagger from her waist and wrapped her hand around to slice it across Bai Yutang's throat, and he disappeared into a ray of light.
"Counter-killed two of them!!!"
Seeing how Yang Nuo killed another person, not only Twilight City's players, even Thorn City's players were happy for her.
Regular players might not even be able to confidently win their opponent in one-vs-one but on the battlefield, Yang Nuo was against nine people but she counter-killed two of them. What an expert. Whether or not she could escape this time around, she would be famous.
After killing the two Assassins, the tense expression on Yang Nuo's face relaxed.
Looking at Rolling Mario and the rest opposite, the corner of Yang Nuo's mouth lifted slightly and showed an evil grin.


Catching arrows, running up walls, crushing boulders and bending metal, these are but petty parlour tricks in the eyes of a true martial artist. But where can a martial artist stand in an era of material pursuit?

Join Wang Yu, the greatest martial genius the world has ever seen, as he takes on the gaming world of <<REBIRTH>>, where dragons, demons and immortals are more than just legends.

In normal cases, 60% would be might well, but when someone drops from 100% to 60% it's quite hit. Especially for someone like him who was since little quite a perfectionist. what happened to him lately? Why did he start making mistakes?
Oliver saw his confused expression and chuckled. ''Actually, that percentage is still not bad. That literally means you still have a good chance to come back. But you will need to work hard on it. Maybe its time you tell her everything. When we come back...''
But the moment the elevator door opened he could see hundreds of people rushing towards them with a fearful expression. ''Elevator works again?''
The two men were pushed out and as the elevator got filled someone them known tried to hush by them. ''You... what are you doing here?''
Sarah Jones froze and slowly turned around. Her white face became ashen as she saw the two people she didn't want to see in this situation. ''Oliver... Mario... You two...'' Her whole body started shaking as she tried to step back.
Oliver rose his eyes towards the camera on sealing and sighed. ''Computer, stop all electricity and radio signals in the whole place. Lock everything. report about how many people are at this level and where they are. It's second order.''
Fist order could be only voiced by Emma Thompson and Aisa. They got one of the highest commanding eligibility.  Only Oliver and Marcus could use it so he just did that. His command caused all the lights to be extinguished and only yellow emergency lights suddenly shone.
''I... it's mot what it looks like, really...'' Sarah started stammering and looked at them in urgency, but alls he got was cold stare and icy smiles on their faces.
Suddenly one of the men that were standing looked at the two men and was stunned. ''Wait... Mario? Two Mario's? How...?'' He started choking on his own spit as one of the other people just hit his ribs.
Oliver turned his head towards the man in the back. ''Commander O'Biant, we meet finally. Last time you send our whole squadron to die for your fun. I tried so long to find you and now I know. Once rat always rat. Hiding deep underground. Where are other soldiers? Don't tell me you didn't bring the rest of them back?''
Collin O'Briant came from behind and stepped in front of Oliver. ''So what. They are dead by now. Those people were anyway unrelated to me.''
Oliver couldn't hold his anger anymore and was about to attack him when Mario took him into a bear hug and tried to stop him. ''Computer, find 101 death squadron. Where are they?''
''More information needed. The last position needed. Fist hand order needed. First-hand order opened up. Finding 101 death squadron.'' For a few moments, there was only small buzz heard then again voice stunned the people. ''Uncle, they are in great danger. I think you two should hurry up. Mother says you are needed. Don't worry about those people. They have everything they need in that building. Even food. Hurry!''
Small whisp appeared in front of them floated in front fo them, stunning the other people. Sarah Jones panicked suddenly and tried to grab Oliver's hand but was suddenly pushed back by Mario.
''Sister in law, we need to go now. When we come back, we will chat. Or not.''
Suddenly a door towards staircases opened up and they rushed towards it. They could hear a bunch of people rushing after them but were stopped by the middle door between different offices. It clocked and it was locked from outside.
The whisp changed color and it had now a red glow. Mario happily smiled but his smile suddenly became stiff. ''Stop grinning! The situation outside is dire. I have no time to play around. Those people are now cut from all lines so I do not have to worry about any disturbances. Your squadron is running away from the whole battalion of angry zombies. And those zombies are not normal. their speed... If I talk to them they won't trust me. Hurry. I am trying to persuade them to talk to me, but they seem quite stubborn. Like someone I know.''
Ugh, that poisonous dart hurt...
Luckily they suddenly were led to the nearest room and the screen appeared in front of them. ''You two are now directly connected to them. They are not far, but those things are not far as well. And from the other side, the radioactive cloud is nearing as well. If you want them alive, tell them to hurry!''
The radioactive storm made most of electric appliances on its way completely unusable, so she could see only clouds from the satellite. The problem were zombies from before. Are they still holding on and become stronger or are they completely destroyed?
''You have no time to come to the main commanding room. One of you stay here and command while the other will go to the upper floor and take care of their entry.'' The storm is coming. Luckily for those people, while ago the winds changed and it looked like it will change its direction and go back south, but the pictures from space showed it was just silence before the storm.
Oliver patted his brother's shoulder and in mutual understanding they already chose. ''You go up I will stay here. They will listen to me more than you.'' Mario as well knew that Emma didn't want to see his visage near her for a while. So this situation is maybe even better.
Oliver rushed out and jumped into the nearby car and rushed towards the exit while Mario inhaled deeply and resolutely stared at the screen that opened in front of him.
''Commander Johnson, Here is Mario. My secret number is Q12L 100010011P. Please check it before responding.'' He stared at the satellite video of the whole line of army cars and trucks rushing towards a nearby town.
Tens of miles behind them were millions of zombies rushing after them. Mario's heart started beating heavily. ''Hurry up!''
''Commander Johnson reporting to General. Your secret number and voice recognition has been confirmed.'' His deep voice now spoke with respect.
''Ther is the next intersection, turn right and follow my instructions. And for God's sake hit that gas. Ther are millions of zombies rushing after you. We are not far, but the problem is, from the other side is coming a radioactive storm. Some idiot dropped an atomic bomb on zombies. Who knows how they will change. This is going to be matter of minutes. Literally! Now next intersection right and speed up as much you can!'' Mario started sweating for them as he stared at the two fronts coming closer and closer towards them.

Anna starts the car and after a short drive stops it near a small shop.

"Come we have arrived" Anna informs Xian while getting down from the car.

"Are you sure we are eating it here? I was expecting some high star restaurant knowing your personality" Xian speaks out after getting surprised to see the place choose by Anna.

"Oh is it! Then let's say you don't know me well. This is one of my favorite places and had been coming her from my childhood. The burgers here are yum and Uncle Mario does an awesome job with all the items in the list. You will love it." Anna replies while walking in front of Xian and gesturing him to follow her.

"Hello Uncle Mario, how have you been?" Anna hugs Mario while greeting him.

"Helloooo my dear lady, I am perfectly fine all thanks to the love of my life Juliette. How are you and it's been ages you came back here?"

"I am fine as well and was not in town thus couldn't visit much often. I know Aunt Juliette takes care of you so well. Where is she, in kitchen?"

"Yeah as usual preparing the orders and making sure the chef in charge is following her orders. Who is this gentleman, your boyfriend?"

"Ahh…He is Mr. Xian and I was working for him during my visit in Japan and Xian he is Uncle Mario who sells the best burgers in Kings Cross"

"Oh c'mon young lady, don't exaggerate things. Our burgers are just fine. Come let me show you your seats" Uncle Mario helps Anna and Xian to grab a pair of seats at one of the corners.

"Here is the menu, go through it and let me know what you want to order. I will be back in a minute" He walks away to attend other customers leaving them alone to decide from the menu.

Xian looks around the complete cafe which is painted in mustard and brown shade, small cozy place giving good vibes. There are paintings hanging around the walls in different sizes, small round tables with wooden stools to sit around. They have a small desk at one of the corner followed by a small glass box which has all the pastries. Mario sits on the desk and a gate behind him which leads to the kitchen. One can smell the entire aroma coming out of kitchen as the gate is half in size.

"Any problem, are you comfortable" Anna asks Xian after seeing him checking the place.

"Yeah, it's a nice place"

"What would you like to eat?" Anna asks again while placing her menu card on table.

"I will take the same as yours as not sure what is the signature dish"

"Sure", Anna waves at Mario to place the order.

"Uncle I will have veggie burger, French fries, garlic bread with cheese and rosemary, red velvet pastry and wine from your old stock. And please repeat the same order for him as well" Anna narrates the order and end with giving a broad smile.

"Sure, the food will be served in few minutes. Let me get you your drinks by then"

Juliette gets out of the kitchen with the finest wine in their collection and walks up to the Anna and Xian.

"Hello my lovely lady, how have you been?" Juliette greets Anna after placing both the wine glasses on table and kissing her on cheeks. Juliette is her late 60's but still as dashing as a 30-year-old woman.

"I am good Juliette, what about you?"

"As you can see, all rock and rolling. Who is this handsome, your boyfriend?"

"Ah no Juliette, He is Xian and I was working for him during my visit in Japan and Xian she is Juliette Mario's wife."

"Hello beautiful lady" Xian takes her hand and places a greeting kiss on back side of the hand.

"So bad you aren't couple as you both look great together. Let me fetch your dishes"

After Juliette leaves Xian smiles at Anna "See everyone except you think we aren't a great match" he winks at her while commenting making Anna blush.

"I never said we aren't a good pair, but I just know that we aren't meant to be together"

"Anna, I will try my best to make you mine someday" Xian winks at her again.

"Let's see, it's in future and I prefer living in present"

Juliette walks back along with Mario holding all the dishes and places then one after other.

"Enjoy your meal and let me know once you need refilling your drinks"

"Sure, thank you Juliette" Anna replies back while sipping her wine.

"Yum, the burger tastes so good" Xian speaks out after grabbing the first bite of his burger.

"See…I told you, he prepares the best burgers in town"

The following dinner goes well with Xian trying to speak out some pickup lines and Anna getting more comfortable with him. She was not sure whether it was the wine effect or Xian's company was so good for her to start falling for him again.

"Uncle Mario, check please" Anna calls out Mario after finishing the dinner.

Juliette returns with the check and Xian insists on paying for the same. After completing everything both gets up and greets Mario and Juliette for the day. Xian praises them for the burger and other dishes promising to visit back.

Anna finds herself feeling a bit tipsy because of the wine in her body, seeing Anna fumbling with her steps Xian holds her from her waist.

She looks up at him the moment she realizes a strong grip around her waist.

"You are drunk my lady, let me drive" Xian walks Anna to the car and make her sit on the passenger while he picks up the driver seat. Anna stares at Xian as he tugs her seat belt before doing the same for himself. After getting settled he starts the ride. Xian switch on the music and the first song plays up matches their current situation. Anna turns up to Xian who is peacefully driving and she smiles as the music starts for I know you love me by Justin Beiber. And she starts singing along making Xian to smile this time. He never heard her singing but listening her soft husky voice made his little brother jerk up from his pant making a small tent down there. Anna closes her eyes and keeps singing the song. Xian looks up at her as the car stops at one of the signal, his eyes getting their way from her head to eyes to nose to her moving lips. He bits his lower lip to control his feelings and licks his lower lips again before turning his head back to road. He accelerates the car once the signal turns green and within no time they are in front of their house. Xian gets down from the car and knocks at Anna's window diverting her attention to him.

"We are here, come let's go in" Xian speaks in soft voice.

Anna comes out of her thoughts and realizes that the music has stopped and she has sung all the way until Xian knocked on the side. She stares Xian who is leaning at her side, she walks out of the car, and the cool breeze hits her bare skin making her shiver. She closes the car door and turns back to Xian, who is still waiting for her to hold his hand which he has stretched out to help her. She smiles while grabbing his hand. Xian stares back at her, the moonlight making her look sexier with few of her short hairs landing on her face due to wind. He stretches out his other hand and slowly moves the hair strands to back of her ears making Anna close her eyes and bend on the side his hand touches her ears leaving a small moan out.

"Anna you are making it difficult for me, I can't hold back myself" Xian whispers in her eyes.

Anna giggles and bits her lower lip softly making Xian to moan this time. "Then who is asking you to hold back". Anna was not able to hold herself back and deny any longer that she needs him, that he is the one she has waited for and even after knowing that she has to distant herself from him she unknowing have fallen more for him.

Xian pulls her in his arms and places his lips on her after hearing her words making Anna to open her eyes in shock with the sudden jerk in her body. But as his cold lips touches her she opens her mouth surrounding herself and giving a way for Xian to take over.

"Thank you for accepting me baby, you won't ever regret it" Xian whisper while breaking his kiss and carries her in bridal way while walking inside the house.

Knock knock knock 
Head "come in"
Servant "Master I have some bad news ,young Master Mario has made a move, he kidnapped the Ortox second young master, it seems that he want to change the deal, so that we can take over the port".
Head "Fool does he think that they will not retaliate even if we can control our neighborhood we will be crushed internationally by them, I know that kid is stupid but his father is not. Someone is trying to unseat me using my foolish grandson, immediately call for a meeting; I want everyone's here in one hour also make sure they treat the second young master of the Ortox family with the utmost respect".
Servant "Understood master"
As the servants left the room and the old man face darkened as he sat there lost in his thoughts, his name is Francesco the head of the Monteria family, a man who started his own family from the filthy streets to become one of the biggest mafia families in the country, he was a wise and powerful man who walked his way up in life, leaving behind him a trail full of blood and corpses, he knew when to hit and when to back down and that was one of the biggest reason that he still alive until now.

...
    
In an elegant room surrounding a long table that can accommodate at least 30 people all the members of the Monteria family gathered, some are skeptical and some are suspicious about this sudden meeting while others are maintaining a suffocating silence.
 
Marco "what is the occasion, suddenly the head asks for a meeting, does anyone here know?"
Lops "not something I know of but we will soon know, no need to be nervous"
Marco "who the hell is nervous dog face"
Lops  "the one who is shouting fool" 
Pagolo "stop the bickering; when the head will come everything will be clear"
The two fell in silence glaring at each other. After a couple of minutes the door opened and the head of the Monteria family came in. everyone stood up to greet the head, with a simple node he responded and proceeded to his seat.
 
 
An intimidating and suffocating silence dominated the room for a couple of seconds That seemed to everyone inside the room as if years has gone by.
Head "it seems that we have a great problem to deal with today and that would be the reason I asked all of you to come together here on a short notice, does anyone knows what I'm talking about?"
A chill run down the spines of everyone sitting around the table, on the left side sat Mario the moment he heard the head talking, a frosty light reflected clearly in his eyes thinking that someone must have told the head about his recent deals.

Along with him Many from the people sitting around the table started to think about their under-the-table doings behind the family back. Some thought about pity things from playing around with some hookers while on the job, while others broke into cold sweat thinking about the many things they have done from taking a share of the profit to forging some of the family account books. 
Silence prevailed after they heard the question; you can only hear loud heartbeats in the room.
.....
Head "so I see that no one knows what I'm talking about, what do you think Mario."
The moment his name was called he knew that everything he has done is known by the head of the family.
Without any sign of nervousness he stood up and looks straight at the head.
Mario "there is no need for word play don't you think so grandfather as you already know."
Head "indeed I know and I am asking you why the hell did you do it?"
Mario "why?  I did nothing but taking back what is originally ours, what's wrong with that?"
Pagolo "father what's wrong, what did he do?" 
Head  "why don't I tell you what your Genius son did, he broke our agreement with the Ortox  Corporation and even kidnapped the second young master of the Ortox family thinking that he will get all the Deeds and profits from the port"
The moment Pagolo heard what the head had said, his body shock as he looked at his son speechless unable to comprehend what kind of disaster his son had caused.
The others sitting at the table also we're shocked some of them even went pall.
 
 
Head " I know that you are not that bright of a person so someone must be pulling the threads behind the scenes, what you did my grandchild will only cause our downfall,  even if we managed  to monopolize the port ,we will be crushed as every International deal we may have will be destroyed by the Ortox family, and even at home they have their ways to suffocate us and above all of this you kidnapped their young master and made it from a business deal to a personal deal, now I need to deal with the mess you created,  you are no longer a child, you will pay for what you did but now we have to provide the best accommodation ever for the young Lord and try to salvage the situation."
Hearing what his grandfather has said Mario couldn't believe his ears, he started laughing like a madman.
Mario "Can you still call yourself a mafia head grandfather, are you afraid of a couple Corporations!, they are the ones who need to be afraid, not us. How can we the mafia Family Bend our knees to some businessmen, where is your pride grandfather. You indeed have aged. We don't need them anymore and we will get everything that is ours, that's the end of it."
Everyone in the room look at Mario as if he was a mad person, it was as if the temperature in the room has gone down, in the meantime Pagolo couldn't process everything that is going in front of him, the moment he heard  his son throwing insult at the head he stood up and roared.
Pagolo "Mario you don't talk like this to the Head."
Before he could continue the locked door of the room had been opened by a servant who seemed to be in shock.
Servant "head a disaster has befallen us"
Barely able to speak as he cut the meeting which is an important one as almost everyone from the upper management of the family is here.
Head "this is an important meeting, haven't I given my orders not to disturb us at all, Deal with this Disaster by yourself it is not the time now, we have bigger problems"
Servant "I am so sorry head but this can't wait at all, we are under attack."
The moment the head heard what the servant had said his face darkened.

Aria, the girl who works as a librarian coming from a complicated and prestigious background, her past was as dark as moonless night, she suffered betrayal from her closest family, she lacked love while growing up to the point that the same word became a myth for her that only reside in fairy tales, she choose to be alone surrounding herself with walls and secrets, the same 21 years old girl who fought silently for her rights and chose to live in the darkness until the day that she crossed roads with Adrian Ortox  the coldest rich young generation of the Ortox family, what will happen when the coldest man in the city take interest in the mysterious young lady librarian.

With the force of the water receding, Chalchiuhtlicue began to control the filling of the lake while all the gods continued with their path in the construction of the lining in the canal.
The gods that remained in place were Ares and Huitzilopochtli, who had to continue controlling the flow of the sea until Chalchiuhtlicue gave them the order to withdraw.
While this was happening on the defensive line in the capital, the population was helping the dwarves as much as they could to expedite the production of stone, which would be used for both wonders.
In the furnaces of the workshop, Hephaestus and Admes were working shirtless while they had their torsos wholly exposed.
This is why the heat was uncomfortable for both of them, and their work did not seem to have an end because every time Hercules or Hermes entered.
They had to increase production as much as possible to fill the demand they were being forced to create.
Mario was also in the workshop only that unlike Hephaestus or Hermes, he was using his divine energy in an artifact to create building materials.
The artifact was an ancient article that created anything inert inside. Still, in doing so, it required an equivalent exchange and divine energy.
What Mario was doing was using the ambient air to convert it into a material, which was taken to Hephaestus and Admes to make the blocks that were being used.
The process was extremely tiring, but fortunately for Mario, he was not alone since he was being helped by mother Tonantzin, who covered Mario when he got tired.
Mario cleaned his sweat and let mother Tonantzin take his place. "Thank you, mother Tonantzin, this device is quite tiring.
But I want to participate and help in everything I can, it is a pity that I could not build the wonder on my own, but sometimes it is necessary to leave pride for the common good. "
Mother Tonantzin closed her eyes while using her divine energy. "You must remember that the most significant achievement as a person you can have is family.
The material is only an illusion that will fade over time, but your family will be who will be with you at all times.
The only thing you need to prove to Felix is ​​your commitment as a father.
I will ask Ometeotl to give you some advice so you can spoil Felix during his pregnancy.
Sometimes the simplest thing can be what a woman needs, see your father is a man very dedicated to his family and knows what his wives require.
But each couple is different, and the needs are different but don't worry, Ometeotl will show you where you can improve. "
Mario scratched his head and smiled "Thank you, mother Tonantzin, I will use the advice of Ometeotl to be better.
Now let me cover it, and I feel so much better. "
Mother Tonantzin nodded and let Mario continue the process.
In the line of defense in Part C, the legionaries and soldiers were able to see with surprise how a large crater was used in front of them.
Unlike the previous crater that was rough and did not have a concise shape, this was done very carefully, Zeus took the time to create defined edges in the crater.
But not only did he do that, but with his rays and using his divine energy, he began to create many fantastic things.
Like beautiful trees that had golden flowers that looked extremely beautiful with the contrast of the snow.
But these small changes were just the tip of the iceberg.
Zeus using his divine energy created in the middle of the crater, a kind of island on which he built the figure of a woman, which was molded until it took the form of Naturae.
In the eyes of the statue, he placed a primordial fire, which would allow the statue to always illuminate the ships passing through the place.
Zeus made the whole crater, the island and the statue as a way to show the love he had for Naturae, even though he can't be with her or spend time with his daughter.
He hopes that this lake in the future will be remembered as a father's show of love for his lover and daughter.
After this, Zeus continued on his way to the coast, where he would wait for the other gods to end to free the flow of the sea and that the canal could work and thus inaugurate the second wonder of the new world.
When Flavio and the other gods arrived, they were surprised because everything was utterly accommodating from the brush to the stones creating a majestic atmosphere.
They only dedicated themselves to completely covering every place so that that magnificence would not be lost after the crater will be filled with water.
After upholstering the crater entirely and making the corresponding seals.
Chalchiuhtlicue began to modify the water flows so that the crater will fill slowly but showing the fantastic way as it was done.
When they finished filling the crater, they continued on their way to the Pacific Ocean.
It only took a few hours until they could get to where Zeus was sitting on the beach watching the immensity of the sea.
Zeus noticed everyone's arrival and got up to stretch his body. "Seeing the vastness always makes me wonder if the separation of the world into three was the best.
But at the same time, I think it would be too wild to take care of the vastness of the oceans, I suppose the experiences make you reflect.
It's time to finish this wonder, I want mortals to appreciate in all the splendor that their gods are to take care of them. "
All the gods nodded, and Chalchiuhtlicue gave the order for Ares, Hutziloposhtli, and Zeus to remove the barriers that prevented seawater from coming into contact with the freshwater of the interoceanic canal.
When the barriers disappeared, a light shone in the water of the canal, and a great change could be felt throughout the continent.

Without answering she pushed the gun forward, its knozzle touching Jacob's head.

"You don't need to know, all that matters is that, I am here to collect his debt and your debt. For all the blood that was shed, especially of those who were innocent."

"W- We didn't do anything!!" Jacob started fearing for his life.

Amber laughed sarcastically upon hearing this, "Didn't do anything?"

"The last time I checked, you have pointed a gun in using your very own hand to the head of another. You mercilessly killed him for finding out about your dealings."

Jacob started having cold sweat as he listened to her cold voice.

"So tell me then?" she looked up to Mario.

"Should I shot him? And make it look like suicide? You support that attitude after all."

Her eyes turned hideous as she stared at him as if she really would do whatever she was saying.

Jacob, on the other hand, gulped upon hearing this.

The plan was to make it a big one, wait until the company becomes big before  revealing the illegal shipments he had done slowly.

But upon returning, Carl noticed it and started investigating. Jacob watched him closely and upon finding out that he had found out everything.

Another person called for the police sending all the evidence of the shipments.

Knowing the exact date, Jacob intentionally called for Carl in the storage.

And with the signal, catching Carl off guard, he had killed him. A shot in the head, looking like a suicide.

This was all known by his father for the pay he received was used not just by him but his father as well. He was even proud of him for pulling off such a long plan.

Mario may love money and the company but he loved his son even more. Currently he also felt very scared for his son.

"So how did you point the gun? For them to sentence it as suicide, it must have been close right? Was it touching his head just like this?"

Amber's voice was devoid of emotion and the way she looked at him was like he was already a dead man.

"I wonder how will that look? Wanna watch?" she once again asked Mario.

"Pl- Please, I'll do anything, d- don't kill him," Mario started begging.

"Then sign it, he is more important to you after all. So important that you allow him to kill as much as he wants, use drugs, **** cases? Oh and the list goes on," she even tilted her head to the side as she said all this.

"P- Please I am begging you," Jacob started begging as well.

"Beg? No, everything has their prices. Well if your father would sign the papers then we would have been long done with this."

Jacob looked at his father. Mario, without second thoughts, took a pen, picked the papers and signed them. It was a passing of all his assets.

This was after all her promise to Luis Cooper.

After signing, Mario threw the folder to her side. To which she stepped on and pushed it out of the room. The gap underneath the door allowed it to move out of the room.

"I've signed it already let him go," Mario asked.

Instead of letting go she kept asking.

"So tell me, was Carl just your scapegoat?"

"Ye- Yes, since I was already caught by him. When they investigate deeper, they would know that it was me in the end. Carl was a good scapegoat for he was but a servant."

Another gunshot rang out.

She was grabbing his hair in order for him not to topple over as she grazed his thigh. She wouldn't be able to support him if she shot his other leg as well. She could only graze it.

Jacob was already trembling after being grazed once again. Mario too, was feeling scared.

"I just want to know something, you do know how to beg. But... why was it so easy for you to kill someone?"

Something is bugging her as well, regarding Carl's death. She felt like it was not that simple at all.

"Why was it that you can pull the trigger so easily without batting an eye?"

"Why would you do such a thing to someone who was living an honest life?"

"I-"

"You know I really don't understand how twisted you people could be."

She kept going not allowing them to speak.

"You pull the trigger when you wanted, you kill like it was but a game. But aren't you humans as well?"

"So why are you living like monsters?"

"What pleasures do you get by killing those who were innocent?"

This was something she had hated deeply about the Price empire. Killing those people who are innocent just because they wanted to.

The servants who could be dismissed as punishment were instead killed.

Mario and Jacob remained silent.

If her voice a while ago was murderous, this time it was so calm that it scared them even more. She was like a crazy person that with one wrong move, she'll lash out.

Amber couldn't help but to think back to the times she had been with Carl. She can see after all, how he sometimes would flinch when she suddenly call him.

His brother like helpless smiles when both she and Ashton worked too hard to the point of skipping their breakfast or lunch or dinner.

He looked after them not just as an assistant or a butler but a brother who carefully looked after his younger siblings.

"The last one you killed was a skilled martial artist, how did you make it look like suicide?"

She continued asking.

"Did you use some kind of medicine?"

Since Ashton was under investigation, Carl was not thoroughly examined, she heard.

Ashton and the others were under investigation and Carl's death was ruled out as suicide due to everything being revealed.

"..."

"Why don't you answer?" Amber looked down at Jacob and asked.

"What did you do? For him to come out without resisting?"

"I... didn't, I just got him by surprise."

Just as Amber was about to open her mouth, a gas coming from outside filled the room.

Mario and Jacob panicked as they started losing consciousness.

"You... promised..." Mario tried to speak.

"I didn't, I just asked you, your son's life or your assets. Your son's life is still here. But there are more debts to be payed," Amber replied not even showing any signs of her falling unconscious.

She frowned after they fell asleep before going out of the office.

Upon coming out she was startled to see Ashton standing there.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she staggered a little.

Ashton took hold of her arms.

"There really are so many things I still don't know of you, do I?" he said as he helped her steady.

"Oh, I just have half immunity towards poisons and such. Even including the sleeping pills or gases. Half which means I would still be affected but not as strong as how normal people will be affected."

She pinched the space between her brows.

"Compared to the son, how mad are you to the father?" she then looked up at Ashton and asked.

"He just used his connection to the Cooper in order to guard his son, Jacob holds the biggest candle."

"Then we can just send the father to the police, if I am not mistaken the mother is already on the way. We'll have Jacob do something for us before sending him in as well."

Ashton just nodded, he was kind of worried when she left last night. Then he heard from his mother that she asked her to take care of Thomas Barbers daughter.

Then another call that a lot of guards were taken down in their house while police were guarding the whole place.

That is why he came outside the building a while ago.

Upon seeing all the employees leaving, not long after Thomas followed. He decided to see what was happening. He walked in and went up the highest floor to see his men waiting outside.

"She didn't allow us to go in and made us wait here until she made the signal," one man instantly said after seeing his frown.

So he waited as well, a folder was sent out not long after. And his men said that she'll knock on the door once they proceed to the final step.

But time passed and there was no knock. A gunshot was heard but it was a man's voice that was in pain. He felt worried that he piercingly looked at his man to do the final part of her plan.

And to his surprise it was actually a sleeping gas. He wanted to enter and check on her when she herself stepped out.

'What kind of girl,' was what was running in his mind as he looked at her.

She had a wig, a contact lens and a mask, this physical things didn't surprise him at all. For he knows she did this to hide herself for now, what surprised him was how she did all of these.

How did she plan and what kind of preparations did she do?

"An eye for an eye."

The day she burried her parents, this became Amber's motto. Their family just wanted to live their lives the way they wanted. But the royals didn't want them to do so.

To fulfill a 3 year promise, their family travelled. But was then ambushed causing her parents lives. She survived and caused their car to explode as if it crashed, leaving within it three bodies, their clones. She then dragged her parents in order to burry them properly despite the location.

After finding out who they would be helping, she declared, "I'll help you if you marry me. 5 year engagement, 5 year marriage. You have no choice you can only accept it."

*****

"If they didn't want such a law abiding one, then we shall burry this company in the underground. They will regret ever taking action towards us."

Ashton declared and his already cold demeanor turned even colder and blood thirsty.

*****

After giving him a strong head butt, Amber pointed at him angrily, "Get your head straight and remember this, the reason why I am also here is to support you. The moment that contract was signed I have vowed to protect you as well."

The clock ticked and Emma Thompson started to feel a bit nervous.
''That stupid idiot. Why does he have to do that by himself?'' She muttered while her pacing became faster.
Suddenly she could hear a noise outside. With quick steps, she walked out and saw helicopter arriving.
But the moment she saw driver her heard cooled down a bit.
It seems one of those people that were late came back on time. 
The walls surrounding the ground of her state were already up. So the only way to enter at the present time was to fly over the wall.
The man opened the doors and woman with a big belly, two children and a few other people came out of the chopper.
He already knew about her and greeted her with respect.
''Hello miss Thompson. These are my wife, children, parents and a few cousins I could bring with me.'' He introduced them all.
She just nodded and one of the soldiers explained to him the newest procedures as it was yellow alert.
He just brought his people to the disinfection room without any protest and continued to the escalators after the procedure.
She sighed in relief. ''At least they don't make any disturbance.''
One of the soldiers was close and shook his head. ''This man wouldn't bring here anyone who could make trouble. I know one of his cousins that is a troublemaker and as I can see he didn't bring him with others. He carefully chose.''
Emma smiled at the soldier. ''I understand. I am glad that everyone chooses to think clearly about this.  What will happen after this is still in the air? Let's hope that my predictions are wrong. Really...''
He nodded but his heart thumped heavily. It seems the situation will really turn ugly. Luckily he brought everyone he cared here.
Another sound could be heard and after landing, Mario jumped out and rushed to help others to descend from the vehicle. The emergency team was already waiting to pick up the old lady, dr Stavros and his assistants.
Already from far, Mario could see relief passing Emma's eyes. But she scrunched her eyebrows as she pointed at her watch.
He rushed to the pilot section and was about to call when he heard from far the sound of helicopter arriving.
''Finally.'' He felt a huge stone falling off his heart when the rest of the crew descended from the helicopter and their family members went through the disinfection as well.
The alarm sounded just moments after choppers were pulled inside and a huge door with big bang closed. 
The last strands of sunlight fell one more time on Emma Thompson that patted her chest and took off the mask.
''Turn on the disinfection of this whole room.'' She commanded loudly and suddenly the room was sprayed evenly from all side and then the vacuum took the air out letting in pure air.
Everyone turned around in wonder and now questioningly looked at Emma Thompson.
She took a speaker and smiled. ''Today you can all take free time and spend it with your families. From tomorrow on you will be on full duty. And you don't need to worry and leave security personnel. What can happen if I just lock the whole level after all leave?''
They still felt uneasy but saw her smiling at them and all they could do is just go to visit their families while only Mario and Emma stayed in the huge space.
The sound of their shoes echoed in long hallways when she made a new order. ''Scan for living beings.''
A neutral voice answered the moment after. ''Commander Mario Santini and Emma Thompson on level one. Flies, mosquitoes, fleas and other insects could be found on level one. Disinsection proceed?''
Emma pulled Mario into escalator and when doors closed she ordered. ''Proceed with disinsection and purification.''
''Order received. Time until the task is done 10 minutes.'' The voice resounded and nothing else could be heard.
Mario curiously looked at her. ''What is purification?''
Emma sighed and pressed the ninth level. ''I will show it to you.''
They entered the ninth level that was filled with people that wanted to have some fun in their free day.
He stared at her in a strange way. ''Why did you put this place and commanding doc together.
She chuckled. ''I am a strange person. There are a bunch of young people that have amazing computer skills. In case of need, it's better to have them close so they can report as soon they finish their tasks.
''Computer freaks and army together?'' He was about to say something more but shut his mouth as he saw her eyes turning icy and her mouth turning into a sarcastic smile...
''You seem to forget one important thing, Commander. From now don't forget, the biggest computer freak and nerd stand in front of your eyes. Understood?''
She walked towards the commanding center and opened the door. At the moment it was completely empty and no sound from outside could be heard after she closed the door.
Space was huge. Filled with all kinds of boards, screens and computers.
She sat down on the middle seat that looked more like a lounge, took her shoes off, put a blanket over her feet and stared at him. 
''Sit.'' she pointed at seat next to her.
He sat down not knowing what is going on and then she started commanding.
''Turn the screening of all levels.''
The screens started showing all levels accept hers where only the little house could be seen.
''Project the first level disinfection and purification.''
The 3 d picture started turning in front of them and they could see how first the mist was sprayed and then blue light started spreading trough whole floor.
Then the floor suddenly started changing. The huge wall started building up in mid of the first floor. In the first part were still machines for disinfection that ended up in the second part. Some of the vehicles were there, the helicopters and safety measurement first aid station as well.
''Why?'' He asked while he stared at the wall that closed space.
''In 24 hrs we will see many changes in the world. I found out some things by hacking some internal documents from different governments and made my own decision. Unfortunately, even if I asked them multiple times to listen to me no one did. So all I could do is to start this. You might think I am a fool but I prefer to turn into a small mole and hid in the hole than to be outside when things worsen. ''
She smiled while looking at Aisa that played with the tree female soldiers in front of the house. 
He knew there was more behind that big wall, but to ask her would be unforgivable. So he just gave up.
''Project level two.''
He gasped. The level two was turned into two levels. The upper level was poultry and such and under level, pigs, sheep, goats and cows... The strange things are both levels had green grass, rivers, and huge space to walk around.
''Project level three.''
This time it was even more astounding. One side of the hall was filled with shelves filled with vegetables, then shelve with fruit threes and then shelves with all kind of grains.
The amount could literally feed people for a long time.
But the most amazing thing was the fishes that were swimming between aquatic plants and vegetables.
''Project level four.''
The city. It could contain millions of people but just a few thousand people lived here.
No cars, few bicycles, the high houses that reached the ceiling and the small hill where was the big park with all kind of birds and small sea. 
The people had it all there. The walking possibility, fun and even go to drink as it had multiple bars, night clubs and dancing halls. There are theater, movie theater and even stage for singing competitions and similar she planned in the future.
They even had a big play and adventure parks and many other interesting things.
''Project level five''
It was split into two levels and had on each level houses that looked just the same. The people could go to storage and change their look if they wanted. the houses had gardens and anyone could plant their own vegetables under one condition. No waste. All that they had too much would be sent to the community eating halls.
''Project level six.'' 
The hills fille with all kinds of trees, rivers and animals.
The rule, for now, no killing of animals. Go eat in the eating hall.
''Project level seven.''
Huge fields and hills filled with all kinds of products and working people. Some children run around as they played, some women st there and just enjoyed their tranquillity.
''Project level ten.''
The crowd of people in different age groups playing around. Most actually waited in roll for the virtual room where they could play for a half-hour each.
''Commander. This chair is mine. That is yours. Each of us will have our duties. Please don't make my life harder.'' She stated and stood up.
Mario just sighed while still staring at the projections. ''Miss. Thompson. It seems you put quite a thought into this all.''
''I did even more. But it's not time to explain. '' She looked at the projections and left him sitting there.
On the door, she turned around. ''The voice recognition works for you as well. If you want to stay here and check the information please eat something. I'll send you some food later on. And for God's sake don't forget to check the notebook I send you. It has so much information that you MUST know.''
He turned his head to her and just nodded. ''I know.''
She left him in deep thought. This place needs management. But then he smiled and looked ta the two chairs in the central position. 
''By my side...'' He whispered as his eyes looked at the closed door...

After dying in hands backstabbing friend that she thought of to be a sister she reopened her eyes and prepared for the final days before everything changes.
But to be able to protect her child she needs to clean some trash first. 
On the day of the apocalypse, she sat in her chair and a drunk glass of expensive vine.

Don't you want?
