"Miss Belinda! Can you let me in?"
A voice called out from outside her window and Belinda woke up from her trance. She looked out to see an annoying old man.

"So Uncle Aaron. What's the daily news for today from mother?" asked Belinda sarcastically.
"Hmm, I'm not sure how you will react to this but well..." Aaron tried to think of a way to rephrase, to hopefully appease his boss' daughter a bit more.
"You see, your mother wants to start considering adopting."
"Oh is that so. She's already started to plan how to get rid of me?" Belinda gave a dramatic sigh.
"No miss, she wouldn't possibly consider that! It's just good to raise another heir earlier in case any mishaps occur."
"Mm. In case a mishap happens to me?"
Aaron looked flustered as he tried to find the right words.
"I'm just joking uncle Aaron, she can't get rid of me just yet even if she wants to. But why adopt so soon?" She sighed. "You can leave now, I'm sure you don't know why either."
Aaron knew it wasn't the right time to keep bothering Belle. He left her house and drove away.

- In a hidden base -
"Sir operation X was successful! All intended children were brought to base F and their allocations will be finalised tomorrow." A subordinate reported to his leader.
"Mm that's good. Let's head over to the meeting room, call everyone over."
In the meeting room 9 men and 6 women were at a table. The leader walked in.
"As everyone knows already, operation X has been a success. It has proven that our infiltration into the military and higher class society has proven to be highly effective and obviously wasn't detected. I'm sure the military will not find any traces and that our agents will remain hidden. However, on the other hand, ANGEL's power and strength needs to be upgraded. We need to start training camps or perhaps even let our members join the military training to improve strength and skills. Any comments?"
"It should be quite easy for any of our members to join the military training provided that they have an identity outside our base. The military receives applications once a year," a middle aged man with a scar on the side of his face stated.
"Yes, perhaps we only need to give them a talk about how to keep their mouths shut. I'm sure some members who have experienced the military training can give some advice and -" before the leader finished speaking, the door flung wide open.
Immediately, everyone in the room was alert and ready to fight the intruder.
