West paused briefly before looking up again.
"...Renzhi, was it? Aren’t you married?"
Renzhi’s eyes narrowed. "What does that have to do with anything?"
West simply displayed a sadistic grin before turning around to walk away casually.
"...Don’t be so pompous, junior," Renzhi added behind him.
West pause for even a second but muttered in a low tone.
"You’re going to regret that."

By the ti West returned to his apartnt, the city had already settled into the quiet rhythm of night.
The mont the door shut behind him, he exhaled slowly.
"...What a day."
He moved through the apartnt, shedding layers of exhaustion with each step.
He took a shower and put on a fresh clothes.
There wasn’t a single mark left on his body at this point because he had drank from the a bottle that contained content from the Chalice of Vitality.
He sat on the sofa and leaned back slightly with a look of relief.
"...That thing really is broken."
West could already feel significant changes in his body due to the number of tis he had already consud contents from the chalice.
However, now wasn’t the ti to dwell on that...
A strange notification had appeared in the corner of his vision.

West frowned.
"...Huh?"
He blinked but the ssage didn’t change or expand.
There was no further explanation... just the sa notification repeating itself.
"...System? What’s that supposed to an?"
There was no response...

West stared at it for a few seconds longer before exhaling.
"...Whatever. Perhaps, it’ll tell eventually."
With that, he let it be because right now he needed rest.
The previous day had been insane with everything that happened in that ruins.
He lay back on the sofa but as his eyes slowly closed, one thought remained at the forefront of his mind causing a small smile to form.
"...Ten."
He had finally done it... Shadow Reapers was finally about to beco official.

~ The Next Day ~
The city lights outside filtered in through the wide glass windows, casting a soft glow across the beautiful interior. Everything seed too calm for the kind of thoughts running through West’s mind.
West sat alone on the couch with one leg crossed over the other and a tablet resting in his hand.
His gaze had a predatory glint to it as he focused on the tablet screen.
Displayed on the screen was a secured digital file... one that very few people in the city would ever be able to access.
And yet, here it was... right in his hands.
"...Renzhi," West muttered under his breath as he scrolled through the file.

West paused before tapping the screen, causing more images to load.
For a mont, he was frozen in place.
"...Damn..." he muttered while staring at the Wife’s photograph, Lianhua Kuro.
For a woman in her late thirties, she looked nothing like what her age suggested.
She had a refined and mature beauty that made her look dangerously elegant. Her hair was black long and silky, reaching her lower back. Her skin was smooth and pale, almost porcelain-like, and her eyes were slanted yet soft in just the right balance.
She surprisingly had full lips that were naturally tinted and her figure... even beneath her modest clothing was unmistakably curvy.
She had wide hips and full chest... a body that spoke of quiet femininity rather than loud display.
The kind of woman who didn’t need to try to attract attention, yet still commanded it.
West leaned back slightly.
"...Stay-at-ho, huh... perfect..."
The file clarified that she worked remotely handling finances and managed accounts which wasn’t too ti taking.
A bunch of thoughts were already drifting in West’s mind on how to go about the situation but this wasn’t his only target.
He tapped again on the daughter this ti... i Kuro.
West’s brow lifted slightly.
"...Eighteen..."
She looked incredibly stunning in a completely different way from her mother.
Where Lianhua was calm and refined, i was vibrant and youthful.
Her hair was a lighter shade of dark brown with subtle natural highlights. It fell just past her shoulders, slightly ssy in a way that felt effortless rather than careless.
Her eyes were brighter, more expressive and curious.
There was innocence there but also sothing more... slightly mischievous.
Her figure was already developing into sothing striking. She had very slender waist with soft curves forming naturally.
She had the kind of beauty that would only beco more dangerous with ti.
West exhaled slowly.
"...Museum part-ti job..."
"Preparing for college..."
He scrolled further checking schedules, locations, daily routines, patterns and everything he could find.
Aria had done her job well.
His phone buzzed lightly and he proceeded to lift it to his ear.
"Yeah."
On the other end, Aria’s voice ca through softly.
"I sent everything I could gather."
She paused briefly before continuing.
"I’m not going to ask what you need it for...but just rember..."
"You can always count on for anything."
West’s gaze remained fixed on the screen as he responded.
"...I know."
A faint smirk ford.
"Thanks."
After the call ended, West leaned forward slightly, resting his elbow on his knees with the tablet still in his hand.
"...Grand Captain, Renzhi... I’m going to creampie both your wife and daughter..."
His thumb tapped lightly against the screen, processing all the info.
A bunch of system notifications suddenly began to appear in his line of sight.
