The manâs mouth opened slightly, he seemed to want to speak, but after giving it another thought, he kept quiet about it.
Sonia had noticed the manâs change, and she said, âWhat is it?â Sonia asked right away and then took a step closer to the man.
When the man heard Sonia, he gulped. He lowered his head but was soon raised by Soniaâs hand.
âTalk, what else, have I not been informed?â Sonia inquired.
âThe Miller family werenât just accused of human trafficking,â The man paused, âThey are also being accused of murder.â
Soniaâs eyes twitched, she was about to speak when the manâs voice rang out.
âA massacre occurred in the port sea, involving several metahumans from the governments, and Iâm also been told that someone from the heroes league was among.â The man said, âThe Miller family is being linked with the massacre that occurred.â
âThe governments and the heroes league are already investigating the family deeply, and now the whole member of the Miller family are in custody.â
âEverything they own, business, properties, have all been seized.â The man muttered.
.....
The corner of Soniaâs lips pointed downward as the man spoke. She was lost for words, as never in her wildest dream did she expect a scenario like this to occur.
RING!
As the man heard the phone ringing in his pocket, his mouth opened slightly, and he stared at Sonia. âWhat are you waiting for? Answer the call.â The man took a deep breath when he heard Sonia and then brought the phone out of his pocket.
Soniaâs eyes were fixed on the man as he spoke to the person on the other side. She didnât utter a word and simply listened attentively to the words of the man.
And after a few minutes, the phone call ended, and the man placed his phone back into his pocket.
âWe have another problem.â The man said.
âThe person who was mentioned earlier from the heroes league is Luther Fernandez. He was with the group that was involved in the massacre.â The man said. âThe government and the heroes league are already heading towards the port sea as we speak.â
âIf they can find the Miller familyâs involvements in the sea, then Iâm afraid, they are going to be sentenced to death.â The man muttered.
Sonia raised her eyebrow and then shook her head. âItâs not an âifâ Iâm certain they will find evidence of the miller family involvement in the sea,â Sonia responded.
âBefore itâs too late, I need you to erase all details of our involvement with the Miller family. The government and the heroes league will look into those who are in a relationship with the Miller family, and we canât be among.â Soniaâs voice rang out.
The man nodded his head when he heard Sonia. He hurried towards the exit door and was about to leave the bunker when he suddenly turned towards Sonia.
âSonia, what are you going to do about VA?â He asked. âWe can choose to ignore it, but how long are we going to act like we arenât aware of their advance on us.â
âIâm not quite sure who is targeting us this way, but if someone is topping the list among the rest, then itâs going to them.â The man said.
The frown on Soniaâs face deepened after the man spoke. Her eyes bulged, and she said, âI will handle them, you go deal with the task handed to you.â
With a nod of his head, the man walked out of the bunker.
After the man left the bunker, Sonia covered her face with her hands and then heaved a deep breath.
The truth was, she had no idea how she was going to deal with VA. She had tried every means of any necessary to find them, but it was all in vain. There was no record of them, and it was as though they didnât exist.
While Sonia continued to ponder on how she was going to handle the problem ahead, she was oblivious to the fact that throughout the entire time, the three men who were in the bunker had eyes on her.
Sonia was wearing very little clothing that revealed her exquisite curves, and as the three of them seized those elegant legs all the way to the top, they licked their lips with a tinge of lust on their faces.

Meanwhile, in the male dormitory, Devon, Aiden, and Bane gathered in the living room, with each of them holding on to a paper.
Their eyes were glued to the papers in there, and the three of them had different expressions on their faces. Aiden and Baneâs eyes flickered with joy and excitement evident, and as for Devon, a light frown appeared was on his face.
âYes!!!â Suddenly, Aiden yelled and then burst into laughter. It wasnât just Aiden who was laughing and a second after, Bane also erupt into one as well.
The both of them danced around the living room, and it was only after they saw Devon that they paused. Aiden and Bane stared at one another, wondering why he had that grim expression appeared on.
The papers they had just received were the midterm assessments they worked on a few days ago.
Bane and Aiden had been excited because not only did they do exceedingly well in the assessment, but the academy was also going to reward them for their performance. So, when they saw Devon staring at the paper with that look on his face, they couldnât help but be perplexed.
âWhat do you think happened?â Bane asked in a soft tone.
âCould it perhaps be that he didnât do well in the test?â Bane said.
When Aiden heard Bane, he shook his head several times and said. âThat isnât possible. We copied from his paper, so how is it possible that we did well, and he didnât.â
âDevon, whatâs wrong?â Aiden asked as he walked toward Devon.
Devon didnât respond to Aiden, but when Aiden arrived close to him, he showed him the papers with a disappointed and sad look on his face.
âY-You...â
Aidenâs eyes twitched when he saw the score that was written on the paper. He turned towards Bane and as the both of them stared at Devon, they wished they could strangle him.
âYou scored this, and youâre sad,â Bane paused. âThen I might as well go commit suicide for the score I got.â Bane blurted.
Aiden chuckled, âBut yes, you did very well, I see no reason why you should be sad.â Aiden said.
âThe both of you still donât understand.â Devon spoke, âI missed 12 questions. Even though I got ninety-four out of a hundred, it doesnât really matter. What matters is how could I have gotten four questions wrong.â Devon exclaimed.
Devon shook his head, and as he stared at Devon and Bane, who was glaring at him, he flashed a rough smile at the both of them.
âWhat?â Devon asked.
Bane and Aiden glanced at their papers and as they saw the score that was on their paper, they shook their head.
âThe both of you scored sixty-five, not bad.â Devonâs voice rang out as he stared at Aiden and Baneâs paper. âYou did a good job, but you still have to work harder, the same applies to me,â Devon said.
Bane and Aiden hissed simultaneously when they heard Devon. The both of them knew that he was making jests of them, but who could possibly blame him, this was his time to make fun of them.
âWell, that is that about that.â Aiden abruptly sat on the chair, âThank goodness we donât have any activities again.â Bane muttered as he took the gamepad on the table in front of him.
Bane nodded his head, he was about to seat on the chair when his gaze suddenly went to the paper on the table.
He glanced at the paper before moving his gaze to Devon and Aiden.
âWhere is Raphael?â Bane inquired.
âHe went out not too long ago,â Devon responded.
When Bane heard Devon, he grabbed the paper and wanted to look into it when Devonâs voice rang out.
âWhat do you think youâre doing?â
Bane shrugged his shoulder, âItâs not like he is going to know that I checked it.â Bane said, and despite Devonâs look of disapproval, he turned to the middle of the paper.
And as Bane saw the score that was written on the top of the paper, his mouth opened slightly. He placed the paper back on the table and stared at Aiden and Devon with shock evident in his eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Aiden paused the game quickly when he saw how Bane had reacted. He didnât bother to ask Bane for the score he saw, and instead, he took the paper to the table.
âOhhhh... My goddd!â
Unlike Bane, Aiden wasnât able to stay calm when he saw the score that was on the paper. He yelled and his eyes twitched.
âLet me have a look,â Devon said.
Devon had just taken a few steps when a sound occurred from the door. And a second after the sound, Raphael walked into the room.
Devonâs eyes turned towards Aiden, and as he saw the paper no longer in his hand, he shook his head. Devon took the game pad and then sat on the couch close to him.
âRaphael, the test results are out.â Bane stood from his seat and passed the paper to Raphael.
âOh,â Raphael took the paper from Bane. He didnât take a look at it, and a second after he collected the paper, he moved towards his room.
âAre you not going to open it?â Before Raphael would open the room, Baneâs voice rang out.
Raphael turned towards Bane and said, âI already know what is there.â Raphael responded.
There was a bewildered expression on Devon, Aiden, and Baneâs faces when they heard Raphael.
âThatâs impossible.â Aiden blurted.
Raphael sneered, âNinety seven.â With that said, and Raphael walked into the room.
