"Thanks"su mei said putting the roses in a vase with other flowers "if I may ask,how do you know where I stay?"su mei asked suspiciously

"uh..."lu bachang has never been nervous to answer a simple question,either he hit the nail on the head or he didn't answer,but this case is different,it requires thorough patience "I had my P.A locate your address because you wouldn't know where we would meet up"lu bachang thanked his quick thinking

"oh...you are right,if not the meeting would have been cancelled"su mei said giving a small laugh

"so,let's go?"he made it sound like a question but it was an order

"let me go get my purse"su mei hurriedly went to her room and collected a handbag that matched her gown,then followed lu bachang out the door

"leave me alone,someone help me!"xia xi screamed at the top of her voice"mom,please help me,dad,help me!!"xia xi screamed louder when she saw a hot red rod with an inscription 'LAVEL' on it pressed into her skin,when it removed,she fainted,some men carried to a sit,it wasn't only xia xi that it happened to about a hundred young adults were given same treatment,some fainted while some cried in pain,the young males tried to hide their pain,but couldn't

"as you all know we have new members,which are our children,our heirs to our companies,now they all have protection like you do"a fat,plump man in his early 40's announced on a platform,wearing a dark robe,so were the crowd,he is the founder of the SHENZEN technological company,fu li "today we have observed the initiation,they will not only be powerful,they will independent, now rise"the crowd all stood up and sang a song then stooped and bowed their heads and some whose children were initiated went to meet their children while the rest left.

"xia xi wake up"xia lei sprinkled water on xia xi's face,xia xi groaned in pain as she woke up "mom?"when she opened her eyes clearly,she hugged her mother"mom,I had a horrible dream...."she stopped speaking when she saw her surrounding and the mark 'LAVEL' on her wrist,then she looked at mom"what is going on here?"

xia lei didn't answer at first,she scanned the place for xia tang but didn't sight him,then she faced xia xi "you see,we belong to this organization called 'LAVEL',they give us power,protection,but when we have children, the heir should be brought for initiation,unless they will kill both the heir and the rest of the children of an initiate if they don't comply"xia xi was shocked to hear this news

"I was a initiate but your father was an initiate and as his wife I took a blood oath that I would not turn this secret against him,so have to join,this is for your own good and safety" after xia lei finished explaining,xia xi asked her "what do you mean by I will get power?"

"the mark on your wrist will make you unquestionable,anything you say is final in the ears of a non-LAVEL",xia lei explained

"am I a LAVEL?"

"yes,now get up we need to apply treatment on your wrist"

As she got to the mansion,xia lei told her"I knew why you were angry,because su mei got to be a model of 'sky limit enterprise"

"how did you know?xia xi asked surprised

"I have my own spies too you know"xia lei applied ointment to xia xi's wound "now rest my sweetie" xia lei left xia xi's room
