Negligence Kills.

"Yo, wassup?" Sabastian said waking up.

The first thing he saw was Aaron's face.

"You gave everyone a scare with all your acting." Aaron replied rolling his eyes.

"Nah, I won't die so easily. I have the vitality of a roach, man. I die on my own terms. You didn't call my sister, did you?" Sabastian asked.

"No, but I need her help finding who's behind your attack. The people after you were from the 'Underbelly'. Someone hired them, we can't go to the 'Underbelly' but your sister can."

"Don't! We don't need her help. We can find them ourselves. It will take time but we will, so we don't need my sister's help."

"I thought you would say that so I didn't."

"How's the girl? The little girl." Sabastian inquired about the little girl.

He feels responsible for the death of her parents.

"The girl? I don't know. Ana said she is in shock. She doesn't show any emotions. Also, she doesn't have anyone else, there's no family. You have been asleep for 3 days, we already took care of the funeral." Aaron replied to Sabastian.

"..." Sabastian fell silent.

He doesn't know what to say.

10 minutes later, Sabastian made a decision.

He told Aaron what he decided on.

"I will adopt her."

"You're 18."

"Don't care, my soul is older than you dumbass!"

Aaron sighed, he knows Sabastian made up his mind.

"What do you want to do?" Aaron asked.

"It's my fault, you can say whatever you want. I was going to chill with Zulky so I didn't have anyone with me. They must've followed me for days, Aaron. Only when I'm with any of you guys, I don't have anyone around me. There's no way it's someone from the Heilige family. The branch families? It's possible but not the main family. I was careless and because of it, that little girl lost her parents." Sabastian said to Aaron.

"I know, I get it. You don't have to say anything more. Well now, I'll tell you what happened in the past few days you were unconscious."

Aaron told Sabastian what happened with Nyx and what happened past few days when he was unconscious.

"Hmm... Now, that's complicated. If Nyx is involved then the branch families of the Heilige family are out of the picture... So, when can I start walking and eat real food? I kind of feel hungry." Sabastian changed the topic, he doesn't want to talk more about the incident, after all, he just woke up.

"You're not allowed to eat yet, ask Ana about it. Take some rest, I'll go tell everyone that you're awake."

Sabastian nodded before closing his eyes.

It didn't take a minute for Sabastian to fall asleep.

Aaron seeing that Sabastian went back to sleep, left the room.

~~~

Aaron arrived at Li Hwa's apartment.

As he stepped into the living room, he was hugged by Li Hwa.

Wrapping his arms around Li Hwa, Aaron hugged her back.

"Aren't you being a bit too clingy?" Aaron said rubbing Li Hwa's back.

Li Hwa stood silent hugging Aaron.

Inwardly sighing, Aaron whispered near Li Hwa's ears.

"I'm sorry."

Li Hwa spoke up.

"Why are you apologising?"

"Because I made you worry. Li Hwa I'm fine there's nothing wrong with me and what happened that day was something my fault..."

"..." Li Hwa.

"I was scared and still am. You gave me the biggest scare of my life! I'm afraid, afraid that you will one day disappear... Tell me you're okay, Aaron."

The hold on Aaron tightened, Li Hwa buried her face on Aaron's chest as tears trickled down her cheeks.

"I'm fine. Even Ana said I'm healthy as an ox. You don't have to worry about me. But my love? I'm worried about you! What happened that day was just an unfortunate event that happened because of my own carelessness. So forget about that day, Li Hwa. it's making you worry, making me worry about you!"

Aaron leaned back and broke the hug.

He gazed into Li Hwa's eyes.

"I love you. Forget what happened that day and if you can't then treat that day as an illusion or a nightmare."

He kissed Li Hwa on her cheeks and forehead before hugging again for a brief moment.

"Let's go finish that movie marathon, you're traumatised by that event. You haven't turned the TV on since that day. Let's face the fears and watch that crappy wizardly world rip-off that doesn't make sense!"

"Ha ha ha!" Li Hwa laughed hearing Aaron grumbling about the movie.

"Magic isn't real, love!" She stated, turning around walking towards the sofa.

"It is real! It bought me to you and you to me." Aaron retorted raising his voice a bit.

The two love birds once again sat down to finish what was interrupted by an unfortunate event a few days ago.

Nyx was in front Cassandra who had a stupefied look on her face.

She was in a wheelchair since she broke one of her arms and sprained one of her ankles very badly.

Nyx just finished telling Cassandra about Nameless.

They were at the headquarters of Nameless in Starfall City.

"Since currently, we are staying here in Starfall City. This branch of Nameless is our temporary headquarters. But our main headquarters of Nameless is in Star City."

"Timothy, you should give a tour of our main headquarters of Nameless to aunt Cassie." Nyx said to Timothy.

"Yes, boss."

"And stop calling me, boss! You're dating my aunt."

Timothy chuckled replying again. "Yes, boss."

Which made Nyx rolled her eyes at Timothy.

Nyx turned to her aunt, who was having trouble believing everything she heard and saw.

Cassandra knew there was a hidden power behind Nyx but to think that the hidden power was something she and her friends created themselves using s*it resources?

Cassandra was speechless.

'What kind of monsters are they! The word genius fails to describe these teens.' She said in her mind, having trouble believing everything.

But the truth was in front of her.

It was not fiction but reality, these teens created a secret organisation that has a solid foundation.

The potential of this organisation is infinite.

"Tell me that you're not some magician reincarnated from another universe with your memories intact! This is hard to believe, seriously." Cassandra took some deep breath to calm herself down.

Hearing her aunt Nyx started sweating.

'Oh, my darkness! Such profound thoughts accurately grasping the truth of reality!!!'

She knows that what her aunt said is just a joke, but the truth of this reality is actually the joke she made.

'It's unbelievable how human can grasp the truth of reality with such thoughts without realizing it.' Nyx said in her mind.

"Hahaha, that's absurd. It's impossible, how can that be right! Haha." Nyx awkwardly laughed.

Fortunately, the two didn't think too much of her behaviour.

Nyx from a corner of her eyes saw Erisviel, Ian and Zulkernyn.

The three of them were looking at Nyx with different expressions on their face.

Erisviel only shook her head with a disappointed look on her face.

Ian was mouthing 'tell her, tell her'.

Zulkernyn had one of his hands on his face, facepalming himself.

'These guys!!!' Nyx almost blew up on the spot but maintained her composure.

Turning her face towards Cassandra Nyx spoke up.

"Besides you, aunt? There's no one else from the Prince family who knows about nameless. That also includes Rodney, Kira, Max and others. Everyone in here, are loyal to us. I don't trust anyone beside the people who are here. Truth be told, until that day when we rescued you? We didn't trust you. I wanted to tell you about Nameless since then but we had so much going on! I'm sorry, I took so long to tell you this." Nyx said to Cassandra holding her arms.

"It's okay, I understand. You don't have to apologise to me. With Nameless behind you, I can rest assured of your safety. But what happened a few days ago? Young lady, I'm not letting you go off the hook!" Cassandra had a stern look on her face as she stared at her niece.

"You should always keep vigilance and have security around yourself! I have information from my spies that the car explosion was not something Lyle orchestrated but he is involved in it."

Hearing her aunt, Nyx turned serious!

"Do you know Declan Harrington?" Cassandra asked.

"Yes, that playboy was all over me at the Heilige's party that I went to some time ago. He was looking at me like I was some kind of meat to tap his shongli ding-dong on. What of him?"

"My sources say, he was the one behind the explosion that put you in this state and your friend Sabastian almost at death's door. He looked for Lyle to make a deal, but since you are engaged to the young Heilige. He can't force an engagement between you and him. So he needs to get rid of his competitor first before Lyle can make the Prince family force an engagement between him and you. His plans were foiled since Sabastian survived. He will not give up on it, he will make moves again. So be careful!"

Remembering something, Cassandra told Nyx.

"There's also someone backing Declan, Nyx. Someone very powerful! I don't know who, but he is related to Death Parade."

Nyx nodded before thanking Cassandra for this valuable information.

"Thank you, aunt! You have no idea how much you helped us."

Cassandra smiled before they talked more about Nameless.

An hour later, Timothy and Cassandra left the headquarters to go back to country Y.

Nyx sat on her wheelchair, as she thought about what her aunt said.

She heard footsteps from behind.

Turning back she saw Erisviel, Ian and Zulkernyn.

"Find everything about that bas*ard son of a bi*ch!"

"..." The three misfits.

"No one, no one hurts our family and gets away with it!" The four misfits said together with a vicious glint in their eyes.
