Mr Tang places his hand on the phone speakers and whispers to Ramiel that he will be joining them very soon, just give him a few seconds to finish his call. He understood what the old man said and casually walked into the dining room.

Mr Tang continued his conversation in Chinese and the other person on the line was listening carefully to all the instructions he was given.

the man on the other side talking to Mr Tang responded by updating his report.

"sir as per your instruction we followed the man and manage to gather intel on his current activity."

"it has been confirmed that he has been arrested and now serving two years in jail for assault while working in one of our affiliate companies as a cargo driver."

with that report alone Mr Tang was satisfied and told his associate to monitor his activity after two months and call him again for any concerns. at that moment he hang up and place his phone back in his pocket and finally went to the dining room to bring good news to his wife and Ms Tesfaye.

after dinner, Ramiel became sleepy and ask his mother if he can be excused and could get a needed nap across the hall on the living room sofa. Amelia was about to stand up when Mrs Mao who was sitting on Ramiels left side told her it was ok she can manage the dishes and just carry Ramiel to the sofa because he was already leaning and his eyes are already closing from exhaustion.

Amelia left up her son and started to walk across the hall, the three remaining people were left to clean the dining table and started to look at each other giving out hints of signals to one another. Miss Dolores was still holding some plates and moved backwards to see if Amelia was Far enough so she won't hear what they are about to discuss, Mr Tang shared the new information he got from his outside source and the two were delighted to hear the good news. Amelia came back and overheard small details of the conversation but not enough to fully grasp the details. so she decided just to walk right in and ask them about it.

Mrs Mao never did hide anything from her she was treated like family, especially by her son, then Amelia's face became bright and full of hope, she knew this was a great opportunity to finally gain some control over their life as mother and son, sat beside her and held her hand and said that everything will be ok now, Mr Tang was standing next to the women listening to their conversation the doorbell rang at the same time he received a call. this was a signal from his associates that are at his front door ready to pick up the food that they prepared earlier.

six Chinese men were standing then simultaneously they all bowed down to Mr Tang and walked in a straight line without even looking at him they were wearing all formal attire but without any neckties. these people walked with precision without uttering any word they knew where they need to go and each one took the container of food and went back out.

Mr Tang was standing outside his porch and overseeing the six men as they walked out of his home a black delivery truck was parked outside his house and another man was standing by this truck but he was different from the other six.

his aura was more intense and defined to the point you feel he was like a commander watching his team move in a distinguished way. he was around six feet tall, lean with a hint of military background, and has a scar on his left cheek, he was silently standing in front of the truck that coincidentally was facing the porch where Mr Tang was at.

as soon as all of the food containers were loaded in the truck the six men stood next to the men, three on the right and the rest on the left. the man wearing grey formal wear walked toward Mr Tang's staircase and walk up toward the porch and stop a few meters away and greeted Mr Tang with a bow.

the men in grey didn't move from the bowing position until Mr Tang spoke.

"you have greeted me with honour and respect you may be at ease in front of me."

When Mr Tang approached the man in grey, he patted his shoulders and hugged him. with gratitude the man in grey hugged his uncle back.

"How are you doing nephew?"

he replied with

"I am very much fine uncle Tang. I came here to verify some rumours that you and auntie Mao are very active in the community again. "

Mr Tang look straight in the eyes of Guan Yu and said with pride he was correct, Guan Yu gave out the Sigh and just bowed his head, once again he asked his Uncle to bear in mind they are the ones who wanted to live here and fulfil their long-time dream to have time for their own.

so like a nagging wife Guan Yu once again iterated the thing they should do and just beg them to always contact him if something or someone barged into their quiet life, with a hardy laugh, Mr Tang assured Guan Yu everything was superb and they don't need to worry.

another loud laugh suddenly Amelia went out looking for Mr Tang she accidentally saw the two talking and was startled by another man there on the porch, Mr Tang Saw Amelia and asked her to come to meet his nephew Guan Yu, he felt something weird in his chest as soon as Guan Yu could speak Mr Tang raise his hand and said to Guan Yu

"I want you to meet a very close person in our care, consider her your cousin, Amelia,"

"Amelia, dear this is my lazy nephew Guan Yu."

"Ha! what! you must be kidding uncle? she is my cousin?"

not by blood nephew, but Amelia here is under my care, you may ask your Auntie and she will say the same thing. I know it is hard to explain just openly accept this old man's dying wish.

"dying my ass! you have been saying that for the last ten years."

another voice entered the conversation, it was Mrs Mao carrying a tray of tea. Guan Yu bowed his head and greeted his Auntie.

"just accept what your uncle told you, Amelia is your adapted cousin."

Guan Yu extended his hand and shook Amelia's hand and said

"hello, cousin Amelia "

Amelia was now really bewildered to the point she just stood there and agreed with what was happening. she thinks it was a social or a family tradition to just welcome a person into their family if the head of the Chinese clan said so.

"ok ok! there are a lot of things we need to discuss might as well stay here for dinner"

said Mrs Mao, Guan Yu agreed to her order and wave his hand to his men ordering them to go on with their task without him. they all nodded and left. as soon as they all enter the house another situation made Amelia face another question. for good reason, Ms Tesfaye. greeted Guan Yu like they already knew each other.

Guan Yu just smile and said that Miss Dolores was his classmate in college.

She said the same thing and this was not the first time that they have met.

Mr Tang pointed out to his nephew to keep quiet because Amelia's son was sleeping in the living room. he walks slowly to see the boy's face. after a few more seconds Mr Tang lift the young boy and held him in his arm and told Amelia to follow them into the guest room so they could get some needed rest.

as soon as the old man was near the staircase going up to the second floor, Miss Dolores gracefully excused herself and said her goodbyes to her friend and kissed young Ramiel on the forehead. gave Guan Yu a nod as he bowed down to his African colleague after that she went on her way.

he stayed with his Auntie as the three went up to the guest room.

once again Mr Tang place the young boy into bed and made sure he was secure in bed ,then with a soft tone he said goodnight and told Amelia if she was a bit confused about the current situation, he explained that her fate is intertwined with his family and the reason what they didn't help her before was that certain situations must occur in her life so destiny and fate will eventually lead he and his son to them with a stronger sense of connection,

Amelia was a bit confused but in actuality, these questions never crossed her mind at all, she was just grateful that somebody opened their home to them and help them when they were in need. Mr Tang felt her honest feelings and just said

"you have a lot of new things to look forward to tomorrow Amelia."

Amelia said her thanks, went inside the room and walk toward and sat near his son as she gently brush her hair, Mr Tang closed the door and went downstairs and directly went to his office study where his wife and nephew were waiting for him, then after going to his chair they started their discussion concerning Guan Yu's plans to partner with Robert Sinclair one of the biggest manufacturing conglomerates in the country.

Mr Tang was aware of his nephew's ambition to gain more power but he was delighted to hear that even if he was already the president of the mother company and appointed the new Liu Chen main family clan leader he is still following the old ways. after a few hours, Guan yu receive his uncle's permission to move ahead and make this partnership with Sinclair a successful one, Guan yu was happy to hear that they both agree to it he stood up and bowed down to his uncle Chāo Tang Liu Chen the Chuàngshǐ rén, the grandmaster and his Auntie Mao qiáng Liu Chen, second grandmaster

"with your guidance and blessing, I Guan Yu will bring you honour and more power in the coming days."

and with an ambitious smile, he said his goodbye and went on his way. when he walked out of their home there another batch of Chinese men wearing formal attire was waiting and standing in front of three luxury black cars and greeted Guan Yu.

"greetings young master Guan Yu."

one of the Chinese attendants opened the passenger car door of the second car as Guan Yu was entering the car he looked back and saw his Uncle watching him from his window. he smiled and thought even at his age he can still feel his overwhelming Aura even if he has been suppressing it all this time.
