'Oh no, she is here', Lucia looks at them and says, "alright, get up". Selene and Emily got up feeling a bit scared, Lucia saw this and pats their back while smiling, "don't worry I won't punish you, we will just do some extra training", she said stressing the 'extra'.
Right now, Selene and Emily didn't know if they should cry or laugh,but one thing is for sure, today's training is going to be extremely exhausting.
There is a room at the back of the mansion where they train, Lucia goes to the room, it is locked, she inputs a password and the door opens, she goes in,
three minutes later she comes out with two wooden swords, she walks up to Selene and Emily and gives them the sword, "let's start with something easy, hmm", Lucia smiles as she turns, and heads towards a tree with a chair under, she sits and say with a cold expression and cold tone, "begin".
Selene and Emily did not need anyone to tell them what what she meant by that. They both looked at each other and gave a gap of at least almost four feet between them.
They stood there for about two minutes in silence looking at each other with their sharp gaze, like they were enemies, the sound of the wind blowing the trees and grasswlis all that could be heard at this moment.
Just then, Emily runs toward Selene, she was so fast that even Selene was surprised. Emily swings her sword to hit her,but luckily for Selene she dodges in time, jumping backwards.
Emily did not just stop there, she continued to swing the sword at Selene, but Selene kept on dodging it. "Why are you dodging it?", Emily asks looking a bit angry. Emily kept on launching her attacks, Selene kept on dodging them until she couldn't keep up with it,
she blocks one of Emily's attacks, she swings her sword back at Emily. Emily smiles as she thought, 'finally', the fight started getting fierce.
Xiaoling, Avery and Lucifena who had been watching were excited, they were cheering them.
Lucia is still putting up a cold expression looking at the two fighting. Fifteen minutes had passed and they were still fighting.
Lucia closes her eyes, 'I have seen enough' she thought to herself, "alright that's enough, I've seen what I wanted to see", she opens her eyes and gets up heading towards them.
'Wait, she was testing them, all this was a test?', Emily thought to herself feeling a bit shocked, as if knowing what her daughter was thinking, she says, "yes I was testing you two", Lucia says, " you two do not know how to hold a weapon, and Selene, your stamina is good, but it seems like you were afraid of hurting Emily and that became your weakness, Emily saw this and started attacking you nonstop".
"Emily, your stamina is also good, but you started getting tired towards the ending, you attacked without thinking", she continues.
Emily and Selene looks at her, "but don't worry, I'll give you guys, eight minutes to rest before we start the actual training", Lucia says as she smiles, 'I have a bad feeling about this', Selene and Emily thought to themselves as cold sweats were on their face.
"You guys fought really well", Lucifena says as she runs to meet them, "yeah with the way Emily was swinging her sword and Selene dodging it", Xiaoling says in excitement,
"and, and the way big sister Selene jumped backwards", Avery says.
"Mom, can we train with them?",Lucifena asks looking at Lucia with pleading eyes, "not that i don't want to but you're still too young, your body is weaker than theirs", Lucia looks at Xiaoling and Avery, and sees that they are looking at her the same way Lucifena is.
It's not like she doesn't want to train them, but she thinks she might be too hard on them.But looking at the pleading eyes in front of her she couldn't help but give in. "okay fine", Lucia says, "but don't regret it later", she says while grinning widely at them, looking at them the way a predator would look at his prey.
'I have a bad feeling about this', Xiaoling said to herself.

MEANWHILE
In a room, a man is seen tied to a chair he is sitting on, with blood and cuts all over his body, glaring at the person in front of him, who is non other than Zenos.
Back at the mansion, Zenos had received a call that his men had caught the spy that leaked out some information about his family.
Zenos stares at the person in front of him coldly, staying silent, his eyes staring at the man as if staring right into his soul. From the information Zenos had acquired, during the 'interrogation', this guy only new that Zenos has a family, although he does not know how many kids he has or the gender. 'Well that's a relief', Zenos thought to himself.
Although it's already trouble for him that people might know that he has a family, but at least, that's better than them knowing who they are, right?
Still looking at the spy in front of him, Zenos knew that the guy is not willing to talk, he would rather spend time with his family than stay here, just then an image of his daughters popped up in his mind, he smiles. One of his men that was standing next to him saw this and got shocked, 'boss is smiling?', he thought to himself.
As if remembering where he was, Zenos stopped smiling. The guy standing next to him couldn't help but hold his laughter, if he laughs in his boss presence he might just be good as dead.
Just then Zenos got up, and said, "kill him", in a very cold tone and expression, he walks out of the room, not long after, BANG, he heard the sound of a gunshot.
Zenos walks out of an old building in a deserted place, he opens the back door and gets into his car, with a loud sigh he threw his head backwards and rubbed his temples, "take me home" he says to the driver, the driver started the engine of the car and was now heading back to the mansion.
Right now all Zenos was thinking about, is to be with his lovely wife and kids, he chuckled and smiled just thinking about it.
