Meanwhile, Taylor and the rest just arrived in front of the office.
"Don't mention anything about the people disturbing us. That matter will be solved by us." She reminded them and the three nodded in response. She then turned the door knob and came in without knocking.
"Taylor!! It's so good to see you again!" Ashton Assuncion, the right hand of Mr. Demethry, said with a smile on his face. Taylor just stared at her and didn't return the greeting. She's a "little" bit off with this person. His presence makes her want to throw him out the door and stab him. Knowing the attitude and temperament of Taylor, Ashton just let the matter slip off.
Taylor walked straight to the table where Mr. Demethry was sitting. Then, she took out a flash drive from her pocket and put it on the desk.
"We've done the mission successfully. The entire house is burned down." She said using her natural cold voice.

"I know you'll do it well. My expectation of you never failed. You did a great job." Mr. Demethry said and stood up while smiling. Then, Taylor grabbed the nearest chair and sat down.
"I know. Sometimes, the devil itself sits down and admires my work. You don't have to be impressed. Besides, I got the best back ups." She said and a smirk appeared on her face. It was scary. Mr. Demethry just looked at her then shifted his gaze towards Nathanya. He then stepped his feet and was on the way to her place when a cold voice warned him.
"Keep your distance from her or have your throat stabbed with a dagger." Hearing this, Mr. Demethry smiled and didn't dare to step another inch.
"You're still as cold as you were before. I was wondering how your relationship with Satan has been going on." Mr. Demethry sneered and smirked at Taylor.

"I never changed. And you don't have to worry about my relationship with Satan. The devil and I get along just fine." Taylor answered. Mr. Demethry was speechless for a while so he thought of shifting the topic.
"I heard that you injured Ashley. Are you not afraid that she will take revenge on you?" He asked. Taylor looked at him before she answered.

"Mr. Demethry, it seems like you forgot the motto I have in this miserable life of mine. Trust no man, fear no bitch. Let her do what she wants. Just don't ever dare to anger me. I'll register her death certificate."
"You know she hates you to begin with. Stop messing with her. That Bloody Ashley is dangerous. I am telling you." Mr. Demethry warned her again. Taylor doesn't seem frightened at all.
" You know what Mr. Demethry? I like to make people who hate me, hate me even more." She said.
"This argument has nowhere to go. Dismiss!" Mr. Demethry finally gave up.
"But Mr. Demethry, I am not arguing with you. I am just explaining why I'm right." Taylor said before she signaled the three to follow her outside.
"How can she talk to Mr. Demethry like that?" Nathanya asked Briana.

"Well, that's natural though. She's been talking to him like that ever since." Briana answered so Nathanya just sighed. On their way to their den, they met Ashley Joy and her unit on the way. Taylor's aura became scarier so Nathanya pulled Lace's sleeve.
"What a small world isn't it?" Ashley started.
"At least not as small as your brain though." Taylor mockingly replied. Lace and Briana chuckled while Ashley's face turned red with anger.
"This… Go to hell!" Ashley yelled.
"Nope, I can't go to hell yet. You know Satan? Your boyfriend? He still got a restraining order against me. So you have to endure seeing me for now." Taylor sarcastically said that made Ashley even more angry. She was about to say something but Taylor had decided to proceed walking rather than being bothered by a pea that gained a small brain.
"Ate Venice, aren't you afraid that many people will hate you? You're… you're so mean just to inform you." Nathanya asked when they finally reached their den.
"I am who I am. I never said they had to like me though. And besides, I don't care about the things people say behind my back. They are behind me for a reason." Taylor answered after she laid Phoenix and Raven down. Nathanya just gave up and sat on the sofa.
Briana proceeded to a table filled with files and started organizing them. Lace on the other hand started watering the plants she have there. After a while, Taylor sat beside Nathanya and gave her a golden dagger. When Briana and Lace saw what she gave her, their eyes widened, as if they'd fall out anytime. Why shouldn't they react like this? Taylor was the only one who owns a golden dagger inside Black Smith Academy since she's the best warrior here. That golden dagger symbolizes strength and superiority. After seeing the beautiful dagger, Nathanya's eyes sparkled.
"That dagger will protect you no matter what situation you are in. Just take this dagger with you everywhere you go and take it out when it's needed okay?" Taylor told Nathanya and the latter just nodded in response. She was fascinated with how beautiful that golden dagger is without knowing how valuable and deadly it was.
It was almost six in the evening when Taylor and the three others decided to go home.
"Shall we take out some food?" Lace asked.
"No need. Ate Venice can cook right?" Nathanya asked so Taylor looked at her.
"You can cook right?" Nathanya asked again and to Briana and Lace's surprise, Taylor nodded. Did she just complied?
"O… okay." Lace said and didn't ask any longer. When they arrived at their condo, Taylor immediately went to the kitchen to cook their dinner. After making sure that Taylor will not be able to hear them, Briana tugged at Nathanya and asked her.
"What did you make her eat for her to follow you? I mean, did you apply some sorcery tricks on her? She… she never cooked for us once before. We just knew that she knew how to cook when she cooked on the day of your discharge." Briana whispered but unfortunately, Taylor heard her.
"What are you whispering there Briana Lynx?" She asked, not even minding to use the proper address to Briana who was older than her.
"No… nothing." Briana answered and immediately went to their room to save her life. Lace just shook her head and chuckled. Sometimes, it's hard to distinguish who's the eldest among them. She was about to leave when Nathanya suddenly grabbed her arms and asked her a question.
"Ate Lace, is Mr. Ashton Assuncion the right hand of Mr. Demethry?" Nathanya asked.
"Yes. I heard they're relatives as well. Why?" Lace replied and asked her back.
"Nothing. It's just that it seems like I've seen him visit our house before." Nathanya answered. After saying this, she went to the kitchen to check on Taylor. She was about to be there when her phone rang. She received a text message.
"You see this man? You killed him honey. You stabbed and killed him!" The text message says and a picture of the man he accidentally killed the other day was attached. She freaked out and threw the phone on the floor and started shouting and crying that alarmed Taylor so she rushed to her.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?! What happened?" Taylor asked, her face filled with worries for the first time.
"I… it's not me. I didn't kill him. It's not me .. spare me… please… it's not me." Nathanya keeps on saying. She was so scared that her face had turned almost white and a little while later, she passed out. With tears rolling down her cheeks.
When Nathanya's consciousness finally came back, tears were still rolling down her cheeks. She was surrounded by the three so she calmed herself a little bit.
"I…" she was not able to finish what she was about to say when Lace cut her off.
"No you didn't. Just forget that thing okay? It's not your fault. I know it's scary but you gotta be tough." Lace said and patted her shoulders. Taylor was a little bit far from her bed.

"Let's eat. The food's getting cold." She said and stood up. She walked out of the room and went directly to the kitchen. When Taylor was already outside the room, Briana said something to Nathanya.
"You need to be strong. In fact you are stronger than you think. Not to be frank with you but you're so weak. If you continue being like that, you'll be a burden for your Ate Taylor. And another thing, have you noticed why they're targeting you instead of targeting Taylor directly? It is because you are her Achilles heel. Her weakness. So if you keep on being weak, she'll become weak as well." She said and patted Nathanya's shoulder before tugging Lace out and leaving her behind. Briana has a point. She can't just rely on them forever. After thinking for a little while, she finally decided to come out and eat dinner with them.
