Christian looked at his daughter and hushed her. Tamara kept on crying and she looked agitated. He hugged her and turned around to the other side of the long table. He spotted her pacifier but before he even reached it, their family photo fell on the floor as the glass shattered. Tamara cried even more.

"Princess, your mommy will be here soon."

​​

Tamara started hiccuping and Christian gently leaned her on his chest. He rubbed her back and she stopped crying but she's hiccuping. He went outside to his mother-in-law's room and she came out quickly and took Tamara from him.

"I was talking to Dmitri," She said as she looked anxious. "The connection was cut off."

Christian creased his brows.

"Mom, I will find Demi and dad." He quickly went to his room and put his gears on. He checked Demetria's location. It's blinking and she's near the entrance of the city. Damn it! He's going to go berserk if someone hurt his wife and his father-in-law. His phone started ringing and he reached it. He quickly answered it when Demi's name came up.

"Demi? Babe, are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah. Don't worry, we'll be home soon."

"How about dad?"

"He's fine too. Tell mom that we are okay. Don't come in here, protect our daughter."

"Demi, I told you that I should just go there."

"No. This is a Phoenix Business. You go and take care of our daughter."

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too." Demetria hung up and Christian exhaled. His heart nearly exploded.

Zendaya rubbed her arm. Just when Thunder started murmuring about the explosion, Kade put the chopper in an automatic mode. Then, they rolled off from the chopper and entered the underground tunnel. Thunder was sweating and he felt dizzy. He searched for his phone and cursed.

"Fuck! I forgot my phone on the plane!" He exclaimed and just when he was about to leave, the plan exploded. "Fuck! My porn!"

Zendaya and Kade covered their mouths as they kept on laughing.

"How are you still worried over your phone more than your life?" Kade asked. "It's just porn. You can download it again!"

"You don't understand!" Thunder exclaimed. "My ex-girlfriend's photos are there."

"And you don't have a backup?" Zendaya crossed her arms.

"Oh," Thunder scratched his head. Because of the vision, he got dizzy and his brain wasn't working for a while. "Thank you for reminding me of that."

"How can you have an ex-girlfriend?" Kade asked.

"Oh, shut up!"

Zendaya turned on the light and they followed the underground tunnel. At the moment, their connection was static but her mother is trying to reach them. She pressed her button to respond but she couldn't get in.

"Boys checked your connections."

Kade took out his tool and cut the wire and re-attached it. It takes two minutes for him to re-attached a few connections until they could get through them.

"Dragon Queen, do you copy?" Zendaya spoke. On the other line, Andromeda exhaled.

"Zen-Zen?"

"We are a fine mom. Thunder somehow had a vision of the explosion so we managed to escape."

"Good,"

"What's going out there?"

"Ilya hired assassins to follow them. This is the current syndicate that we are after."

"We are a fine mom."

"Good, good," Andromeda said. "Keep safe. We'll finish them off."

"Will do."

Claus let Ilya choose what kind of poison that he wanted to drink. Ilya stared up at him. Claus was blank and he showed no remorse or any emotions toward him. Ilya had loved him more than anyone in his life but he was betrayed like this. But he accepted it. It's because of his selfishness. He watched them slowly dying. He opened the pit of fire and Ilya went there for himself and stared at him for long before he collapsed and died because of poison. His body fell on the pit of fire. Next, Jacob was still struggling but he screamed at Claus even though blood started running out from his nose and ears.

"Fuuuuccckkk youooo! I'm going to kill you in hell!"

"I'll see you there. But first, you have to go there."

He nodded as his men pushed Ilya to the fire and everything was done. He watched them turn into ashes. It takes at least a few minutes. He stood there and although there was a commotion outside, he wanted to make sure that they were dead and couldn't come out. He took out a pocket watched and opened it. He smiled at the young Christian who would smile up at him. His son is his life after they took his mother's life and his sister's life right in front of him.

"Christian, even though you have the blood of evil, I know that deep down there you weren't evil as them. I want you to live your life to the fullest and be loved by everyone around you." He mumbled.

He turned back and faced his men.

"From now on, our business is to protect Christian and his daughter. Our main goal is to be Loyal to the Four united Empires. Anyone who will oppose me shall die in front of me."

"We will follow you, Lord Claus."

"Good."

I exhaled and watched as Andromeda entered the room and looked at the pit of fire.

"You killed them, already?" She asked.

"Yes, Dragon Queen. They won't hurt your family anymore, Queen Dragon. I promise that."

"Good. Because of them, my daughter and my nephews almost die in that chopper." Andromeda looked angry but it dissipated seeing two bodies on the fire. They are nothing but bones that are turning into ashes.

Demetria felt like her head was like pins and needles were poking it. She looked at her father who was struggling because of a broken ankle. She crawled toward him and hugged him. The sudden ambush nearly got them killed but if it wasn't because of Moira who was backing them up and her Uncle Fin's army who secured them, they might be already dead and it'll be too late for them to recover each other. She already called Christian to protect their daughter and her mother while they are here hiding from those assassins. They didn't expect that Ilya and Jacob would set up while they are in the country.

"Your head is bleeding," Dmitri mumbled and he quickly took out a handkerchief and pressed it on her would. "Don't sleep."

"Dad,"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."

"Demi, don't sleep, okay?"

The nanomites were destroyed in the car. He looked at men who came to them. Soon, Noah came with a small briefcase. He took out the syringe that has the nanomites ready. Demi unzipped her jacket and although she felt dizzy and felt like levitating, she managed to gently pull it out and showed her bare arm to him. Noah injected it into her. Dmitri does the same and Noah took the other one and injected it into him.

"This one might give her hemorrhage. We need to take her to the facility immediately." Dmitri nodded.

"Yes, sir." Noah signed his men. Noah carried Demi as they helped Dmitri. He couldn't take a step with his broken ankle so he needed men to help him.

Andromeda sat down on her seat as she crossed her legs. Her people salute her.

"I want you all to hunt them down. Each of them…" She commanded.

"Yes, Dragon Queen." They left as Andromeda took out the special forces that she had. Moira entered the room looking exhausted with Athena.

"Where are they?" Moira asked. "How about my son?"

"They are fine," Andromeda said and watched the two figures on the fire turn into ashes. "They are somewhere safe. You don't have to worry, Moira."

"Yeah, right. Or else his dad will get angry and I'll get angry." She roared. "Find each of them!" She told the Knight Agents that just arrived. "Don't let anyone slip off! They nearly killed the three heiresses!"

"Yes, Ma'am!"

"It'll be the death of me." Moira sat down on her throne and crossed her arms. She at least killed a lot that day. It's not like she likes it. She didn't like it at all. But she simply didn't have a choice but to kill them. Her phone started ringing and she answered Alanis's call or else, he'll get crazy and worried over her.

"Honey, make sure that you'll come back home without any scratch, or else you know what will happen."

"I don't have any scratch. I promise."

"And our son?"

"He's good. Hiding somewhere. But I promise you, my handsome King, that he's safe."

"He better be."

"Hey, I want a lot of wine and food tonight. How about that? And lots of lovemaking?" Moira said flirtatiously.

Athena grinned and shook her head. They are speaking like they are in their twenties and young.

"I will make sure that you won't ever, ever walk in the morning."

"Hey, don't break my limbs okay."

"No, I wouldn't break your limbs, darling. I will simply make your pussy sore."

"Oh, don't speak so lewd."

Andromeda rolled her eyes and looked at Claus who was laughing along with Athena.
