"Daddy, why do you look so happy?"
Evelyn tilted her head as she questioned.
After the event of recruitment had concluded, Daniel, his harem and his daughters made their way to the next sect.
But instead of teleporting immediately, he would love to use this chance for his daughters.
Since they had never explored a city, he would gladly let them spend their time leisurely.
Of course, at the same time, he was delighted with the result and with many disciples joining his sect, there's no way he wouldn't be smiling.
But perhaps he never controlled his emotions or he didn't care about it that his daughters were looking at him with curiosity.
"Daddy must be smiling because he's holding my hand. Isn't that right Daddy?"
Eleona was smiling brightly as she held her father's right hand.
At this moment, Eleona's heart was beating loudly when she held her father's hand.
Compared to his size, her palm was so tiny that it disappeared the moment he grasped it.
But on the other hand, she was trying her best to control her emotions.
With her heart beating like a drum, her mind was filled with nothing but her father.
"No way! Daddy is smiling because he's holding my hand!"
Eliana tried to refute her sister by denying her claim.
She was jealous of Eleona trying to claim her spot, thus, she began bickering with her sisters.
"Now, now, we're all here to enjoy right? So let's not fight and enjoy the time"
It was time for Daniel to step in and he patted and caressed their ears where they began to feel love from his hands.
The moment he touched their ears, all of them turned obedient as they enjoyed his touch.
And they nodded their heads to his agreement while enjoying his touch of love.
But what seems to be an innocent time of their enjoyment will turn out to be a nightmare.
"Oi, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
A strange fellow inside a pub tabbed his friend as he saw something that was impossible to happen.
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?"
His friend was annoyed and irritated by the strange fellow as he was enjoying his liquor.
"Just look where I'm pointing at!"
Knowing that explaining to his fellow friend would be a waste of time, he turned his friend's body around and pointed to where he was looking.
"Damn! What the hell are you doing!"
He complained and he was maddened by his actions but as soon as his eyes witness something that shouldn't have happened, he turned silent.
"Now you know what I mean right?"
The strange fellow was satisfied with his friend's reactions as his eyes turned serious and all of his drunk behaviour disappeared.
In an instant, he cleared his throat, straightened his posture, and his goofy grin faded into a contemplative expression.
"Frank, let's go"
He stood up and left the pub without looking behind, and the strange fellow who was known as Frank followed as he was aware that they got a new job.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a strange hideout and upon entering the hideout, there were a strange and suspicious group of people gathered.
"Boss, you're back? Don't tell me we have a new job. Tell me what is it! I can't wait to spill some blood!"
This strange was licking his sword as though he was thirsty for some blood, and his expression already tells how much psycho he was.
"Hold your horses, Ronan. I still have yet to confirm"
"Then what is it, Lukas? It's been weeks since we have yet to receive a new job, and it won't be long before we die because of money"
Another strange-looking fellow was leaning against the wall and he had the ugliest face you could imagine.
"Be patient Tomas, I still have yet to confirm"
Lukas said.
"What else do we need to confirm? We already know how your pattern works and coming to this hideout means you've caught onto something"
This last-looking strange person had an ominous aura and his existence lurks the word taboo.
"Sigh, Carlos and the rest of you, why can't all of you just be patient? I still need to confirm whether or not I'm right, so just hold on for a while"
Lukas was annoyed with his subordinate impatience, but he chose to hold it in before confirming something.
Going to his room, he took out countless scrolls before picking up one scroll, and as he unveiled it, he read the words written on it.
Issued By: Anonymous
Mission Name: Family of Fox Kin
Description: A family of fox kin managed to escape somehow from a group of Slave Traders and though they possess 'that', they were still defeated. Due to the difficulty, the rewards have been increased from Anonymous.
Reward: 100 Purple Spiritual Stones
Extra Info: Last seen is in the City of Cetra and there 3 female children and their mother as well
As he read the scroll, his smile crept up as he thought 'Jackpot!'.
He believed he had hit the wheels of fortune and couldn't but want to get those Family of Fox-Kin that he saw previously.
His eyes couldn't believe what he was seeing and he didn't care how they were able to survive despite the Slave Traders possessing the 'Shard'.
But one thing is for sure is that the rewards are enticing and he didn't hesitate to accept.
"Boys, we got a mission to complete. Let's head out immediately"
He exited his room and announced to his fellow subordinates.
"Great! I've been waiting for this and it means more blood will be spilt, and I like it!"
Ronan was excited about the news and he was behaving like a maniac.
"It's about time to claim some rewards. I've been starving for money since then"n0velusb.c0m
Tomas said and the only important thing to him was money.
"Finally, I've been waiting for this since just now, so we're heading out now?"
Carlos asked while looking forward to the prey that he will hunt.
Eventually, Lukas and his subordinates went out to search for their targets and following the trace where he had last seen them, he stopped in his tracks as he wants to find the perfect opportunity.
On the other hand, as Daniel and his harem and children walked around the city, they ended up in a place where there are dozens of food stalls waiting to be discovered.
"Daddy this is quite delicious. Would you like some?"
Eleona offers the skewered meat she had in her hands to her father with a bright smile.
"How about you enjoy it darling?"
He caressed her hair while chuckling. With some leftovers on the side of her mouth, he thought it was quite adorable to look at.
But of course, Evelyn and Eliana didn't remain silent as they too offered their food.
Daniel rejects it by explaining that it was supposed to be their time and they should enjoy it to the fullest.
And he loves seeing their smile and hearing their laughter.
As they enjoyed their time, Eva was gazing at them with a smile.
Knowing that their daughters could peacefully enjoy their time was like a dream.
They had never been in a city before, thus, this was a memorable moment for them and also she and her kids felt the same way too.
Even though the food they ate wasn't as delicious in the sect, the time they spent here outweighed the taste of the food.
Knowing that their mother is by their side and their father who they could depend on was spending time with them, their childish nature could finally be revealed.
Living in a life where they would have to constantly run and worry about their survival the next day had made them forget what it's like to be a child, and now, they were behaving more like a child.
They had always lived in a world of running and uncertainty, where stability was a foreign concept.
But now, with their father by their side, everything had changed.
Their mother had been their rock, their guiding light through the darkest of times.
She had faced unimaginable hardships, yet her love for her children had never wavered. And now, they were finally reaping the rewards of that unyielding love.
With their father's support, the three kids began to experience the joys of a normal childhood.
They acted freely, their laughter filling the air.
Simple pleasures like eating meat and bedtime stories became a regular part of their daily lives.
Gone were the days of constant worry and fear.
Their father had created a safe haven for them, shielding them from the harsh realities of the world.
They could finally relax, knowing that they were protected and loved.
As their bond grew stronger, they discovered a newfound sense of peace.
But on the other hand, there were a group of 5 watching and recording their movements, and Frank had been waiting for an opportunity to start his operation.
