If step 2 was a success;

Therefore, the next step is gathering the weapons they need to protect themselves.

"What?! More training?!" Ytriel exclaimed when he heard what Yyan just said

"Well, what else do you expect? Sit around drinking Martinis while I feed you some expensive berries?" Yyan retorted while rolling his eyes

"Actually, I expect that we'll learn about our family and why you had a whole board of their faces" Max spoke as he slowly pushes his food around his plate

"Yeah- That!" Even if Ytriel had no idea what Max just said, he would do anything right now that's not additional training

Yyan looked at Hendryx who was just busy adding hot sauce on his meal then at Tyrron who was also looking at him

"What?" Tyrron asked 

"Do you think that's a good idea?" Yyan asked him

"for once, I think the kid has a point" Ytriel cheered making Tyrron give him an eye so he cleared his throat and went back to enjoying his food

"Okay then, after we all cleaned up I'll tell you about it" Yyan sighed

Ytriel, Michaelis and Theon cheered since it means less training for the day. Jethro just smiled, Cozen nodded and Max had no reaction at all

"Does that mean I get to stay up late?" Jaxen beamed at Yyan while munching on his dear chicken nugget

Yyan had set a bed time for the twins and Jethro, but it seems like the bed time only works for Jaxen since he's the only one who obeys the man

"Yeah, I guess" Yyan replied in defeat. These kids he picked up was really a handful

"Yay!" Jaxen giggled and went back to enjoying his disassembled burger.

The thing about the twins is, they hate foods that touches each other, or even mixed together. So when Cozen chose burger for dinner, Hendryx had to serve the twins' meal as disassembled. 

-----------------------------------

After dinner, they all cleaned up and freshened up before meeting once again at the main area. Yyan had the board pulled up at the front making the rest of them seat on the floor

"Okay, y'all present?" Tyrron got a chorus of 'yeah' making him roll his eyes. He's not paid enough to teach seven kids about the history of their parents.

"'Kay, let's start. First is we have the Philistine Telecommunication Companies, head is Leonel Philistine, blah, blah, blah, Also known as the information guild of Oleandre, blah, blah, and yeah. They dispose Oleandre's mess." They barely understood anything of what Tyrron just said.

"They what?"

"Huh?"

"Pardon?"

Confusion masked the face of the seven making Hendryx sigh and stand up

"PhilTelco was under Oleandre. They run an information guild, providing information for Oleandre, and they also serves as the clean up crew for them. Pretty much a dog if you think of it. Running around for Oleandre and taking orders from Quentin" Hendryx explained

Ytriel furrowed his eyebrow and looked at Theon, who was avoiding his eye for a few minutes now

"What do you mean?" He raised his hand, asking a question

This question may seem dumb for the others, but it held Ytriel's mind.

On how he sees his father, on how he grew up thinking his father's ideology was something he wanted to learn.
