In the heart of the first floor of the lakeside house, there is a large swimming pool fed by the mysterious waters of the lake that lies outside. The gentle and soothing energy that usually flows through these waters is disturbed by the waves that propagate on its surface. These disturbances turn out to be the work of two men and two women who, at that moment, are blindly exploring unknown territories.

Ella and Bella, who joined Ékobo and Bindzi, embarked on a risky exploration of Bindzi's inner world. With the help of Ekobo, they try to uncover all the secrets hidden in Bindzi's body.

"Bindzi, focus on your authority. Let your energy flow slowly and calmly. Feel it and let it out." Said Ella.

"I'm trying, I'm really trying. I do my best, but when I think I'm getting closer, I get pushed back. As if something is deliberately preventing me from reaching it." Says Bindzi sweating profusely despite the fact that he is in the water.

"Let's keep going, we'll eventually find a way." Said Ella who didn't give up.

"Ella, my energy disappears into his body. I can barely feel his authority." Said Bella. "Ékobo, I hope you really put your mind into it."

"For you, it's a challenge or a distraction, but it could go really wrong." comments Ékobo.

However, this somewhat alarmist message is not enough to dissuade the two young women.

At the same time, Azombo, whom everyone has forgotten, is still preparing dinner. Various dishes are simmering in the fire when he finally remembers that he still hasn't informed Bella and Ella's parents of their daughters' whereabouts. The latter left the city of Evodoula to go to the house by the lake without even telling their parents.

********

The city center of Evodoula is particularly known for its affluence. Even more so at the end of the evening, when the workers leave the office buildings. However, unlike the other buildings, a particularly extravagant ten-story building does not experience this affluence. The doors that lead to its main hall are completely locked. This building happens to be the private residence of the Bidima family. On the ninth floor, there is a very large white office decorated with extreme extravagance. Facing the large bay window is a large table on which a middle-aged woman who has managed to retain her charm sits. On the other side of the table, on a large armchair, sits a middle-aged man who exudes a majestic aura.

"How did the last mission go?" Ask the woman wearing a long white dress and white heels.

Looking at her we can see something familiar, indeed her appearance and aura are similar to that of Ella with whom she shares this style. However, unlike Ella's dresses, this middle-aged woman's dress has a long slit that exposes more than half of her left thigh. We quickly understand the origin of the two young women's clothing style when we look at this woman sitting on the table.

"Nothing in particular. Just beasts of a very low level." Says the man in black gandoura sitting on a massive armchair.

"It's not bad." Said the woman. "It reduces the risks. However, it's still irritating that Class five and above missions are becoming increasingly rare."

"I think someone takes them right before us." Said the man in a calm voice. "There are a lot of rumors circulating in the industry lately."

The woman turns to the man and gracefully raises her left leg which she crosses with her right leg.

"You mean that master mercenary?" Asks the woman.

"Yes. He almost only takes on class five missions and above and completes them faster than teams of fusion masters." Said the man.
