90 Ian wakes up.

Aaron woke up from his sleep and the first thing he saw after waking up, were two deep green coloured eyes staring at him.

Blinking a couple of times, Aaron said in a half-asleep state.

"Why are you staring at me, Aurora? It's kind of creepy, do you know that?"

"I know, but I was just watching your sleepy face. It's really cute and calming." Aurora said in a cute voice.

"Since I'm now awake, there's no sleeping face for you to look at. So help me get up, please?"

Aurora nodded, after hearing Aaron.

She then helped Aaron sit up, carefully.

Before Aaron could somehow help himself get up but it takes time for himself alone.

And it hurt's more than ever now, unlike before.

Aaron's face contorted in pain, he held his breath to endure the sharp pains in his body.

Even trying to endure all the pain, still, moans of pains escaped from his mouth.

After Aurora helped Aaron sit up, she watched her brother holding his breath shivering in pain all over his body.

Slowly evening his breathing, Aaron gave an ugly smile to his sister.

"Th-thank you, Aurora!" Giving thanks to his sister, Aaron started light stretching to wake up his stiff body.

"Okay, now?" Asked Aurora, she could never get used to these scenes every morning.

It hurts her heart to watch his brother in pain.

"I talked to mum, last night. She was very angry, after learning that you got kidnapped. It took me two hours to calm her down. Also, she decided to not ask any question or anything about this incident and where we are." Aurora said, telling Aaron about their parents finding out about his kidnapping.

It's really surprising, words travel so far and quick in the circle of Sacred noble families and clans.

"But, there's a catch isn't it, sister?" Aaron said raising his eyebrows.

There's always a catch when their parents don't question or ask anything about their activities.

Tessiana and Aiden Blood are shrewd, cunning and very scheming even to their children.

"Yeah, I'm getting to that but there's something else you need to know about." Aurora said with a smile that didn't look like a smile at all.

It was so fake and forced that the 'smile' made Aaron's heart palpitate, feeling anxious and uncomfortable.

"What is it? Tell me I can take it." Aaron said gulping in uneasiness.

"I asked mum to approve of a loan of five million dollars. A 5% interest will be added to the total sum of money lent every month until the debt is paid."

*boom*

A mind-boggling explosion occurred in Aaron's mind.

"A-a fi-five what? 5 million? 5% Interest added to the total sum every month? Until the debt is paid?" Still dazed, Aaron stammered and tried to process what Aurora said to him.

A minute later, Aaron started laughing.

"Ha hahaha! Hahaha! Wahahaha!" From a silly laugh to a crying laugh.

Eventually, Aaron really started crying.

Seeing Aaron's state, Aurora sighed.

This sudden loan was unexpected, yes, but it was necessary for them.

They need 'legal' money, not the 'dirty illegal' money they have through all the raiding a and stealing.

Nameless still doesn't have the resources to convert the 'illegal dirty' money to legal 'white' money.

Talking to Zulkernyn last night Aurora got a few ideas for Nameless as well as for themselves.

Nyx, Aurora and Aaron need to be completely independent of the Blood and the Prince family.

They need a pillar of their own for support.

Later, they will go up against two of the most prestigious sacred families of the 23 Sacred noble families and clans.

Oh, there is also Sabastian and Ana!

So three Sacred noble families and one tribe.

Aside from the hidden organisation 'Nameless' they also need something out in the light too.

To the public, to the world? They need to stand their ground and have a shelter of their own.

So, Aurora decided to take a loan from their parents.

And use that money to invest in some business and use it wisely to create an empire of their own that can stand against the Sacred noble families, clans, the Tevittar tribe and others.

Aurora walked towards the desk and took the file she prepared all night for her plans.

Aaron finally stopped crying and was stretching his body before standing up from the bed.

"Read this." Holding the file full of documents on her hand, Aurora gestured her stupid younger brother to read the documents that she worked hard all night.

Clutching his hair with one hand and taking the file from Aurora with the other hand, Aaron started reading up what his older twin cooked up when he was sleeping oh! so soundly.

10 minutes later,

Aaron had a dazed look, after reading the documents on the file.

He stared at Aurora, tried to speak something but nothing came out from his mouth.

His mouth was like a goldfish, opening up and closing up.

"How is it?" Aurora gave a brilliant smile to her younger brother.

The smile lit up the whole world, that's what Aaron felt seeing the dazzling and brilliant smile of his sister.

"The five million with 5% s*it that you cooked up, is a work of art! Though it pains my liver, every time I see the interest of 5% and the total sum that you asked for a loan? What's written here in this file, is not something we need but must do in order to survive, sis. I'm sorry for my previous action of crying and laughing, I was in shock." Aaron said apologising for his behaviour earlier, also gave his review on what Aurora cooked up.

With now Erisviel and Ana joining Nameless, Zulkernyn and Sabastian's connections. With the minds of all of the genius leaders combined, their future doesn't look too bleak anymore.

"Yes, with this we will have both feet out on the light and darkness of this world." Aurora said, nodding and started talking about her plans to Aaron.

~~~

Later in the day, Ian was transferred to the base of 'Nameless'

Nyx was in the room where Ian is in.

She was reading a web novel on her tab when she heard a groan.

Looking to the side, she saw Ian waking up.

"A-a-aargh!" He was trying to speak something but Nyx quickly went up to him and said in a soft with a comforting tone.

"Shhhh, Ian, It's okay. You're fine. Don't move, you probably can't feel anything right now but you're in a mess.

"A-aarogghhh!" Looking straight at Nyx's cerulean coloured eyes, he still tried to say something.

From what Nyx could make out what Ian is trying to say, she quickly nodded and said.

"He is fine. Aaron is fine, Ian. You don't have to worry about him. We got him back, there wasn't a scratch other than the headache and a bump on his head from being knocked out."

"It's true, really! He is fine, don't worry about him." Trying to calm and comfort Ian, Nyx repeatedly said Aaron is fine until Ian again fell asleep.

But before he fell asleep he still managed to say a few words to Nyx.

"Arrgh! I see, so he is fine. That's good."
