"Zack, did you just join some gang or something?" Mia asked with wide eyes as a bunch of powerful dudes showed up with her brother.
She could also hear the sound of a helicopter outside. The first thing that had come inside her mind was that her brother had joined some kind of gang and was in the middle of some war.
Though that theory failed when Zack looked at his sister with a serious expression.
"Mia, pack your important stuff. We are leaving right now." He said and moved to his own room before his sister could ask him any questions.
Mia was left stunned when she saw two men bowing down in front of her.
"If you need help in moving anything heavy, we will be happy to help you." One of them said as she sighed and shook her head.,
'You better have a good explanation for this Zack.' The girl then moved towards her room and asked the two guys to help her get some bags from the top of her closet.
After that, she asked them to go outside and wait for a while. The girl then quickly packed all of her clothes and books in the bags before looking around the room.
"How could I forget this?" Mia muttered as she moved towards her desk and picked up a picture placed on the desk.
The picture showed herself, Zack, and their parents standing together in front of a beautiful lake. Mia had a small smile on her face as she put the photo in her book.
Many people didn't have photo frames like this but Mia had gotten the frame because it had been one of the best days in her life. It was strange how things had taken a turn in just a year.
But the 17-year-old girl knew that everything changed after some time. And when that happened, people just had to let go.
While the girl was done with her packing, Zack had just started.
He threw all of his clothes in one bag and put the VR glasses in another separate bag alongside a photo frame that had a similar photo like Mia's.
Except in his, the family was looking at the sun setting while being on a beach.
After he was done, he picked up the two bags and exited the room. He then walked towards his parents room and saw Mia standing outside the doo.
"What do you think we should take?" She asked without looking at Zack.
Zack knew how Mia was feeling and the two siblings entered the room together. They slowly opened their parents closet which was still full of their clothes.
After looking at everything in the closet, their gaze fell on an album at the bottom of the closet. Zack bent down and took out the album and saw the words 'family album' written on it.
"Guess this is what we will be taking with us." Zack muttered as the two siblings left the room and closed the door beside them.
"We are ready to leave," Zack told to the four guys as they picked up the five bags the siblings had made. They then left the place in an orderly manner and the two teenagers followed them.
"So where are we going to?" Mia asked as her brother sighed.
"We are going to Doogle mansions," He looked at the hallway while talking. "One of the most safest places on earth where we will not have to worry about any kind of danger."
"Humans will do anything for money."
"This was the way we were programmed to be."
After moving outside, the siblings stared at their house one last time. This was the place where they had grown and would now have to leave it behind.
"It will be a new beginning for us," Mia said as the two of them turned away and walked to the helicopter.
Two of the men helped them climb the thing and the helicopter rose in the air.
Zack stared down from the thing while taking a deep breath. In the corner of his eyes, he saw a few figures moving towards his house while swiftly opening the gates.
The figures were covered in complete black clothes and there were twelve of them. They reached the door and one of them got to the lock and opened it within a few seconds before all of them proceeded to move inside.
"I made the right decision," Zack muttered as he turned right to see his sister being asleep on the seat. Her face looked even more innocent when she was sleeping like this.
And Zack knew that he would make sure that this innocent face wasn't damaged.
"How long will it take for us to reach the place?" Zack asked one of the men who gave him a small smile.
"It will take us around three to five hours. You can have a short nap if you want sir, I will wake you up when the time comes." The man spoke but Zack shook his head.
"I will stay awake."

"Wow…" Mia's mouth was left hanging open when she saw the huge mansion standing in front of her.
"Let's see the interior and then say anything," Zack added as he and Mia followed the four guys inside and how large the hallway was.
According to the information Evangeline had given him, the entire mansion had three floors and a total of 35 rooms. It was quite small compared to many other mansions in the place but it did have its own pool, surveillance system, and a ton of other things.
Though Zack was sure that he would only use some of these things.
The rooms were also fully furnished so the duo only took their bags and put them down in their rooms which were as big as three rooms from their previous house combined.
While Mia went to sleep, Zack got down on the bed and logged into Hikari.
He had received WolfHeart's message saying that she needed a little help in something.
After logging in to the game, he saw her message asking for him to come to the entrance of the Acidlent forest.
While moving towards the forest, Zack decided to check his stats.
[ Name: Lin Fan

Both of his titles were auto equipped and the balance update alongside the food pills and removed the status column.
His health had been increased too but what he wanted to see were the benefits of the two titles.
[ Viscount of the Eizenburgh Kingdom: This title makes you a worthy noble in the Eizenburgh kingdom. You have all the benefits of a noble except those of higher ranks.
- All the nobles below your rank will have to follow your order.

[ Nemesis of Insects: This title makes you a natural-born enemy to any insect.
- When fighting any insect type beasts, you and all allies will receive a 50% boost to all stats. ]
Zack had a grin on his face by the time he reached the entrance of the forest.
He saw WolfHeart standing there and she had taken the helmet off her face. While waving her hand, she saw Zack walking up to the forest.
"Guess you finally have some time again." He smiled while subtly hinting that he was joking.
"Things have become tense in the court. I want to leave the orphanage but I don't know any other place where I will be that safe." WolfHeart sighed as Zack could only offer a sad smile in response.
For the time being, he decided to ask WolfHeart the reason she called him there.
"What did you need help with?"
"I need you to fight me in a friendly battle and you will have to use your spear. I want to train my skills and utilize the potential of my job class." WolfHeart said with a serious look as the teenager's smile widened.
"Then I guess you will be the first person who I will fight using my spear."
