"What are we doing here, brother?" Anna asked with a hint of displeasure.
Anna expected that her brother will bring her to a place where fun is happening. But she was greatly disappointed to know that the 'fun' place her brother was talking about is a place where gangsters gather around, and of course, a place where gangsters beat each into pulp is one is provoked.
"We're here to have fun, sister," Aaron replied with a meaningful smirk plastered on his face.
Hearing that response from her brother, Anna's left brow rose, "'Fun'? Define fun, brother." Anna and the others passed by a man whose face is full of blood, and Anna made a face that she is disgusted by such sight.
Anna knows that once she gets more mission given by mother, she will see a lot of bloody faces, and eventually she will have to get used to it. But she is not ready to see so much blood yet. 'Brother, I am not like you. Don't you think you're being too much.' Anna complained in her mind.
"We are not here to beat up some guys or watch them beat each other." Aaron stopped on his tracks, then faces Anna, Ophius, and Lucia with a large grin on his face. "We're here to get some interesting information."
"Getting information? Is that how you define fun, Aaron?" Ophius was in disbelief when he heard that is the reason they are here is to get some information. Just like Anna, he never expected Aaron to bring them to this place.
Being at this place, he doesn't mind it a bit, but he wants to have fun, not gather some information that doesn't concern him. Then again, when he thinks about it, Aaron did tell him earlier that he should not come with them, but he did not listen. He has no one to blame except himself for forcing himself coming along with them.
"You don't get, do you? Torturing someone to get the information that I need is my definition of fun." Anna who heard that response from her brother does not know whether she should laugh or not. Her brother's definition of fun is just too similar to their mother's definition, 'Brother, you really are our mother's son.'
Ophius laughed wholeheartedly, "Haha! Now, you are speaking my language!" Ophius is now liking Aaron more than ever. Just like Aaron, Ophius is also ruthless in his own way. The only similarity between them is how they interrogate someone to get the answer that they want.
As Aaron and Ophius are laughing together, Anna and Lucia look at them with boredom in their eyes. They wonder what on earth are they even doing in such a place when they both have no interest in interrogating someone in the way Ophius and Aaron likes.
Sighing deeply, Lucia step forward towards Aaron and Ophius, "Since the only people who are enjoying this trip is you and Ophius, can you please allow me and Anna to go back to the Coleman mansion?" If the two girls stay any longer to this place, they would complain nonstop to Aaron that they are bored to death.
"What? No no, the person we're going to interrogate has something to do with you too, dear sister."
"It has something to do with me? Brother, what are you talking about?" Anna felt that her brother is speaking to her in riddles, and she is starting to get impatient with him. She has no connection with any of the people in this place which made her wonder why would her brother say that the person they are going to interrogate has something to do with her.
"You have this hunch that someone is backing Juan right?" A meaningful smile appeared in Aaron's face, "I did some research and this is the place where we can find a clue if Juan truly has a backer."
Anna smiled back at her brother, "Brother, you got me hooked. Now, let's go see that person." Knowing what their real goal in this place is, Anna happily linked herself to her brother's arm.
"Come I'll lead the way."
As Anna and Aaron walk their way towards their target, Ophius and Lucia were following them from behind. They felt that they are out of place because of the twins. "You know, staring at them both walking like that side by side, it makes me think the organization's future is secure," Ophius said with satisfaction.
His thoughts of wanting to quit the organization are now gone. He never thought that Aaron and Anna could change his mind so easily. His initial opinion about the twins is that they are arrogant spoiled brats that rely on their mother's famous name. But he was wrong, he had never heard that the twins use their mother's name to get what they want; the only resources that they use are the things their mother taught them.
"Even though I still don't like Aaron, I agree with what just said. Comparing them to their mother is wrong because those twins are great in their own way." Lucia said a hint of admiration towards the twins. The first time she and Aaron worked together as partners, Lucia had her doubts about Aaron's capability to lead. But that doubt immediately faded when their first mission was finished earlier than she predicted.

In a certain area, the four of them are watching a specific person engulfing itself to alcohol while holding a woman to its right side.
"That's the person we're going to interrogate?" Anna asked in disgust. The person that they are looking at right now, is someone she had not expected. She was expecting the man would be at least handsome and skinny, but this man she is looking at right now is a big disappointment in Anna's side.
