The next time she opens her eyes, she sees garlis looking at her unhappy " where have you disappeared ?"

Nana : it was visco.

Garlis ; I knew it. Wasn't any good shit.

Nana : thanks for finding me.

Garlis : hmph. I knew there was a problem if you could be missing without telling me. Used a spell and only traced you till a certain area. You're lucky Shadow Demon found you.

Nana : Melven !!

Garlis : already got him home.

Nana: ok.

Garlis ; you let him take it ? Everything.

Nana sighs " .... For Melven."

Garlis : that asshole. Tell me you'll take revenge.

Nana ; to do what ? Get my stuff back ? Forget it... I can do without it.

Garlis : right. And what will you raise melven with ? And your other children. You think he didn't think to do do something ?

Nana : they're not my things. They're my children's ! He can't touch it.

Garlis : he couldn't claim it, he could make havoc of it.

Nana : what do you mean ?!!

Garlis squatted down and looks up into her eyes " nana. He is messing with your real family. He knows, that's what hurts you the most. He's taking their business, their life, with the things you gave him."

Nana ; so fast ? No one died right ?

Garlis ; ....

Nana : shit... Damn... Damn it !!

Garlis : since the moment you married him and let him in charge of your things. You've started to lose control.

Nana clenched the cushion with her fists " .... No... Where is Shadow Demon ? "

Garlis stood back up " that's my Miss. Downstairs. Ready to go ?"

Shadow Demon bowed slightly.

Nana : thanks for finding me. Sighs. He has taken almost all of my things. There's one thing he couldn't take from me.

Garlis : me ?

Nana laughed a little " cheeky. The hearts I've earned over the years. They are not favours he can take from me. "

Garlis : who do you want me to call ?

Nana takes out a piece of paper from her hat and writes down a few names. She passes it to him " call them. Tell them , for old time's sake I need help.

Garlis takes it . He takes a deep breath in " Miss. Promise me whether you win it not, take back artietra for me."

Nana : she's been taken ?

Garlis sighed " he's taking measures against me. He knows I might just send people after him."

Artietra: let me go !!

Visco looked at the young girl who was tied to the chair .

" Why did you even bring her back?" His underling, a girl asked a bit annoyed. She also acted much like his secretary who did everything for him. Her name is rose.

Visco : Nana seemed to take treasure of her

Rose ; she's just a brat.

Artietra: then let me go !! It's not like I could do anything for you. I'm blind.

Rose ; she makes sense. Even her ability is useless.

Visco ; shut up. How's the things I've asked them to do ?

Rose : done. Last night, they were all attacked and they had to flee their homes. Want to chase them down ?

Visco ; let them panic a little before I do that. Their assets are all in my hands.

Rose : so bent on destroying that Nana. To even destroy her family members. Why ?

Visco ; I pay you to do your job.

Ilise walked into the apartment " Mama."

Nana : hey. Ilise.

Ilise ; I just got chased out of my own home. My own husband and children had to flee to another safe place. Which luckily I had due to my nature of job.

Nana : thankfully you're paranoid

Ilise ; yes. Thankfully. Or else, even my intel people would be given away.

Nana : sorry.

Ilise : it's ok. I always thought it was weird of his background to be a bit too perfect. Without rich parents.

Nana : you didn't make any deals with him right ?

Ilise ; not any, that would involve me investing my one and only precious assets.

Nana : Intel ?

Ilise nods " you know me. Intel can buy you almost anything in the world. Money is relevant to subject. Getting me to loan him money , and him running away... Doesn't hurt me one bit. Though... He does play a good pity show when he asked for it. "

Nana : he did the same to the others ?

Ilise ; similar. Not a loan. It would be to invest. Everyone can still hold out a while.

Nana sighed " help me with something... I'll give you a free soul to extend your life."

Ilise : I almost wanted to say, I'm your daughter. That's not needed. Can I have that for my husband instead ?

Nana ; you know my rules about this. Only if he wants.

Ilise stood up " alright Miss. I'll go find out what you need." Garlis passes over the name list " tad bit hard to call."

Visco : Howard you're back

Howard was the intel guy he had in his team " I'm back ? I've always been in this team. Are you ignoring my efforts ?"

Visco : that's not what I mean.

Howard ; just joking. Ilise is far from down. She's a strong woman.

Visco sighs " even with the rumour you spread ? That her money is spread thin ?"

Howard : you really don't know how our world works. I told you this wouldn't work much to ilise. Intel is precious. You can always use it to trade for something. In less than five hours , she has already gotten herself more ammo to do what she needs.

Visco : as in, she got more money ?

Howard sighed " if only I lived as long as her, I would be able to build a network like hers. All that money and Intel. "

Visco : what is she looking for ?

Howard: that... That I know.
