Arthur lied flat on his bed after getting inside his room. "At last! Freedom!"

Following behind him was Shin, Leonard and Molton. Right after entering the room, the other three also find their respective beds to lie onto; the four of them were going to be temporary roommates for the time being until their current mission concluded.

"Hiss, can Big Sis be a little more considerate? Is she going to kill us by over exhausting ourselves? She knows that the operation is going to be tomorrow, right?" complained Arthur while turning over his bed.

Hearing that, Shin suddenly released a helpless sigh before saying. "Of course, it is because she is aware that we are all not ordinary individuals. So, she makes sure that we are going to remember what we need to do in certain situations. After all, we can recover all of our peak conditions after a whole night of rest."

"This is why I don't want her to be a captain in any of our operations. Can't she just focus on our family businesses instead?" said Arthur while messing with his hair with both of his hands.

Then Shin immediately responded. "Well, I still can understand Uncle Bernard's decision on choosing her."

"After all, we are all talented individuals who are confident in our strengths. And if he ever chooses someone in our ranks, it is not certain that anyone of us will follow the given orders."

He paused for a moment to find a more comfortable position before continuing. "What's more, the Leon Tribe have their own 'Junior Monster' in their ranks, the 'Junior Lion King'. And it is very likely that that guy is going to attend this so-called party, so choosing Big Sis is our safe bet."

Swoosh!

Right after those words left Shin's mouth, a pillow suddenly flew towards him with a great speed. Though, he quickly caught it without problem and placed it at the back of his head.

"F*ck you, Mr. Know-it-all! Why are you always stating some reasonable facts! Can you at least not spoil the mood just once?" said Arthur with full of annoyance.

Then he suddenly sat up straight as he remembered something. "And one more thing! Do you ever lay your hands on my goddess! Or else, forget about being your brother!"

Hearing that, Shin suddenly smirked. "Heh, ready to throw your brother away just because of a beauty? So much for being a brother."

He then closed his eyes and placed both of his hands at the back of his head while saying. "Well, you don't have to worry. I don't have any interest in that girl with a princess syndrome."

After a moment, Shin re-opened one of his eyes and looked at Arthur while asking. "Anyway, are you sure about that girl? She seems to be-…"

He trailed his words a little to take a quick glance at Molton before continuing. "A tough one with a violent temper."

When Arthur heard that, he immediately waved his index finger at Shin while clicking his tongue repeatedly. "Ah-ah~! You are still too green at reading the girls, brother. Girls who are acting tough and strong outside are actually soft deep inside. You just need to find their soft spots before you can fully tame them."

After he turned his head a Molton while asking. "Right, junior brother?"

Unfortunately, no one replied as the boy was already sound asleep on his bed. And when Arthur saw that, he couldn't help but shake his head a little while saying. "Looks like he is too tired."

After that, he swept his gaze to the other two and saw that both of them were also starting to fall into a deep sleep.

"Well, I guess I should go take some rest too," muttered Arthur to himself before closing his eyes.

...…

Night on the next day, everyone was already done with their respective preparations for the special mission.

Shiella was currently wearing a tight leather suit specialized for combat. Due to how tight her suit was, her stunning figure was perfectly outlined. But even if she was feast in the males' eyes, no one dared to look at her with lecherous eyes as everyone knew how scary she was.

She was currently briefing everyone while waiting for the right time to start the operation, making sure that this mission was going to be a success.

After a moment, she dismissed the group to enter their respective vehicles before walking towards another group who were wearing a set of fancy clothes.

She swept her gaze at everyone, checking each of them. A moment later, she noticed that Shin and his group were still not present. "Huh?"

She knitted her eyebrows a little before walking towards one of the girls while asking. "Where is the noisy bunch? That young group who were late at the mission exercise yesterday?"

Hearing her, the girl suddenly remembered the group that Shiella was talking to before answering. "Oh! Them? They are called by Commander Nathan. It is like they are going to be the independent group on this operation."

Shiella suddenly knitted her eyebrows even further when she heard that. 'Huh? Why did uncle not inform me about that?'

While she was thinking about that, her advance watch suddenly rang. And when she looked at it, she discovered that it was Nathan.

Seeing that, she immediately looked for a secluded corner before answering. "Yes, Uncle?"

"We are making some last-minute adjustments again. We got another intel that your group is going to be marked later. We are still investigating how. But for now, we are going to take Shin, Arthur and others to act as an independent group,' said Nathan with a slightly solemn tone.

Hearing his tone, Shiella immediately felt that there was something odd going on. And together with it, she also became concerned about Shin and Arthur. "Can you take another group? Why does it have to them?"

Seeing her reaction, Nathan suddenly smiled and said. "I understand your concerns, but you don't have to worry. We managed to find a capable guy with a similar strength as yours. He is going to protect them in the shadows."

Nathan paused for a moment before adding. "Anyway, I have an additional task for you. Overserve your subordinates carefully later. If ever someone acts a little suspiciously, immediately take care of it properly so that we can prevent any accidents later."

"Yes, Sir!" replied Shiella with a serious tone.

After that, the call ended. And when Shiella closed the virtual screen in front of her, the expression on face suddenly turned solemn as if she was ready murder someone.

...

Meanwhile, Arthur, Lorraine and Molton were currently waiting inside the special vehicle. It was a black van which looked very fancy on the outside but it actually had a mini-monitoring room inside.

"D*mn! Why the heck did uncle change the plan once again. This is beginning to become a drag more and more," muttered Arthur while laying on a metal bench inside the black van.

"Are all of your special operations like this?" asked Lorraine while playing with her twin pistols.

She was currently wearing a similar leather suite that Shiella was wearing so her figure was a sight to see. And due to that, the innocent Molton felt a little uncomfortable being with her. He was doing his best to look somewhere else and not look at her. But for some 'unknown' reason, his eyes were 'strangely' being magnetized by her alluring body.

At the same time, Arthur replied to Lorraine's question. "Not really. Though, our other special missions are also sneaking on enemies ranks most of the time. There is also a special assignment that took us a week or two to finish since we need to act as spies during that time."

At the same time, the door of the van was suddenly opened as Shin immediately entered while saying. "I got a bad feeling about this mission."

He was currently wearing a white tuxedo partnered with black fitted trousers. He also had a plain black long-sleeves shirt underneath his tux to perfectly complement his style. This style might be a little plain but it perfectly highlighted his good looks.

Seeing his suit, Arthur couldn't help but click his tongue while commenting. "Tsk! Plain as always."

Meanwhile, Leonard followed after Shin with his maroon formal coat and pants. On the lower part of the right arm of his coat had some black lines on it, forming a design of a blazing flame on it. This outfit made him appear a little mature but stunning.

"As expected of my Leo," muttered Lorraine after seeing him. But the smile on her face was immediately wiped away when she saw Leonard extend his hand and support Angela who was following after him.

Angela was wearing a sleeveless black gown that had an extra layer of embroidered cloth on its top which had some roses design on it. Her curled hair was tied into a bun which made her fine shoulders to be revealed.

After being assisted by Leonard to enter, Angel turned her head at Lorraine while throwing a provoking look.

In the meantime, Arthur suddenly shot up from his lying position before quickly rushing at the opened door while extending his hand. It was obvious that he wanted to support Jillian at entering.

Jillian's gown had fitted long-sleeves which made Arthur a little disappointed. Though, her overall appearance was still perfect at his eyes.

Her gown had a mix of purple and pink color with some silver leaves embroidery on its surface. The color might be a little dull but it was giving a strange relaxing feeling.

Seeing Arthur's extended hand, Jillian hesitated for a moment before accepting his offer and extended her hand to hold his. With that sight, Arthur couldn't help but had a wide smile inside.

Shin waited for everyone to take their seats before opening his mouth. "Alright, Uncle told me that we are still going according to the plan but he also gives us an extra assignment."

Hearing that, the others immediately looked at him while preparing to listen carefully. And when Shin saw that, he cleared his throat a little before saying with a solemn voice. "This mission is not an ordinary raid anymore. But it is most likely going to be a full-blown war."
