"What did you think?" August asked as he looked curiously at Aatrox sitting in the back seat of the car as they left.
"Very interesting, those guys are very lively." He said as he remembered their jokes.
"I'm glad you liked it. Tony, after I leave, help our friend Ben with whatever he needs. You can use my authority for that." August said surprising Anthony.
"Are you sure?" Anthony asked to confirm. He had not watched the battle of Aatrox against Dylan, so he did not understand the value that Aatrox had.
"Yes, I'm sure it'll help Ben a bit." August answered while giving Aatrox a smile.
Aatrox understood August's intentions in saying that. He was clearly trying to make a good relationship between them, something that Aatrox saw no reason to refuse. If it weren't for August, Aatrox wouldn't have had such a good battle in so long.
Since he so much wanted a good relationship between them, Aatrox took the opportunity and asked. "Do you know the Price family?" He asked as he watched their reaction.
August only showed confusion and shook his head in a negative sign since he was not from this city.
Already Anthony looked at Aatrox confused and answered. "I know their patriarch, why?"
"Just curious, what do you know about them?" Aatrox asked happily to be able to know from Anthony's mouth about Travis' family, since on the internet it would be very difficult to learn about cultivation issues.
"Well, I know they mingle with a lot of illegal business. If I'm not mistaken, there is a rumor that they work with organ trafficking, among the organs, a lot had been from children. "Anthony answered as he continued to think.
"What about their strength?" Aatrox asked as he began to lose control of his anger again. When Anthony said that the Price family was selling children's organs, he remembered his little siblings and felt like killing them now.
This small reaction did not go unnoticed by August, who quickly asked. "Do you want to deal with this family?"
"Just curious." Aatrox responded by keeping the poker face.
August sighed because he knew the boy was smart and wouldn't trust them so easily. At least the boy asked them about this family, showing a little confidence.
"If I'm not mistaken, they have a baron among their cultivators and maybe 5 Knights. Most of the Knights are talentless people who have failed to rise to the rank of Baron. Their patriarch has reached the classification of intermediate baron. That's why their family has grown so big. His strength in the underworld is greatly respected by the non-cultivators." Anthony answered while watching Aatrox.
Aatrox heard this and nodded inwardly. The difference between a beginner Baron like Dylan, James and Jude compared to an intermediate Baron was very big. Maybe they needed to get together so they could fight a middle baron.
On the way back, no one said anything else. Aatrox was planning with him to take revenge in the most satisfactory way as August and Anthony tried to find out what the relationship was between Aatrox and the Price family.
When they got home, Aatrox took the keys to his father's car and was getting ready to leave.
"The night was a good boy, come back later to train with my brother. He still needs a push to get out of the Knight rankings." August said.
"That's fine with me, I also need to exercise once in a while." Aatrox said distractedly.
Seeing that he was worried about something else, August and Anthony related it to the Price family and their curiosity only increased. But they didn't ask or try to keep him there.
After saying goodbye to them, Aatrox went home while thinking about various forms of murder.
When he opened the door to the house, everything was off. Aatrox looked at his watch and saw that it was already 2:00 am, everyone was already asleep.
When he arrived in the room, he saw that there was something in his bed. As he approached the bed, he saw that the twins were lying there, each hugging a pillow.
Seeing this scene, all the anger and hatred that Aatrox was holding since he left the event evaporated. He could not feel anger when he saw the children sleeping so peacefully in his bed, probably because they missed him. Aatrox unconsciously opened a warm smile on his face as he lay between the two children. They didn't even wake up, and then he hugged him, one on each side.
Aatrox, who planned to cultivate during the night to take revenge, only slept peacefully throughout the night.
The next day, Aatrox woke up early, as he didn't need much sleep to rest because of his cultivation.
Looking at the children sleeping peacefully, he didn't have the courage to get up and wake them up, so he stayed for an hour lying in bed as he tried to relate the energy of this world to the plans he had. This hour of rest served very well for him to fix everything, probably, in the next training session he could improve his cultivation for the Baron ranking and now maybe he could use the energy in the songs that he played.
When the children woke up and saw him lying with them, they both began to laugh and hugged him. They almost didn't play with him yesterday, since they spent almost the whole day away.
The three of them went downstairs for breakfast while talking about cultivation. When they arrived at the kitchen table, Bruna was angry with Bryan who kept saying that she was cultivating slower than him.
"Big broooo, tell him to stop, please." She said with puppy eyes almost starting to cry.
Aatrox seeing this couldn't control himself and started squeezing her cheeks. Bruna, who was almost crying, started to feel ticklish and a little mad. Aatrox turned to both of them and said. "Bruna and Bryan, on the path of cultivation you can only depend on your own strength. Even if I am here to protect you, if one day I am not, you will have to defend yourselves. So, Bruna, if Bryan says you're weak, what do you think you have to do?" Aatrox asked her.
"Will Bruna have to get stronger than him to beat Bryan?" She asked with her eyes glowing with the new achievement.
Bryan felt a chill go through his spine as Aatrox stroked Bruna's head saying she was right. So, he turned to Bryan and asked. "And you, Bryan, if Bruna gets stronger than you and beats you, what are you gonna do?"
"I... I, uh... Will I get stronger so I don't get caught?" He asked almost crying.
Aatrox held on to his laughter when he heard his answer and stroked his head for approval.
