I was frozen. Completly frozen, unable to even twitch a muscle in my face.

About three months had passed, and everything went according to plan.

Findir and Bella joined first, then Cy, and then Luna and Aisa, who still hated the training but still did it in order to not feel the gap in power widen even farther.

Everything went according to plan.

I was growing much stronger by the day; my body was becoming much denser with muscle, and everything about my body was lean and muscular but with the power of a massively muscular man.

My body was so strong and so dense that it felt like punching a rock, and this was the same for pretty much everybody else, including the girls who had a similar body to mine… except for the tits and stuff, but that's obvious.

Each and every single one of my muscles were rippling with absolute power, and my speed even had a slight increase as wearing such heavy armor would, of course, make you feel lighter once you take it off.

Everything was going according to plan… but for the first time in my life… I kind of felt bad.

I didn't recognize the foreign emotion at first, but the more I sat on the idea that I wasn't actually friends with these people and more like somebody who was trying to nurture them- no, manipulate them into becoming things that I felt would give me the most benefit…

Every night I would sit on this idea and tell myself that what I was doing was right, that I was helping them to grow strong… but in reality, it was just my stupid ideal.

"Huff… Huff… Huff… Huff… Fuck!"

Bella walked up to me after training and crouched down next to me as I proceeded to take off the twenty-five-kilogram shirt I was wearing.

"What's up? You've seemed so angry lately?"

"Huff… huff… Fooooo… Do you like training?"

"Yeah, I do. It can be fun sometimes, it can be boring and harsh, but most of the time I enjoy it, especially when I'm together with friends… Is this because of what I said? I remember that time when you looked as if the world had ended,"

"Yeah… I've been thinking, have I really made friends? Or have I subconsciously made puppets for me to grow?"

Slap

All of a sudden, I felt a palm come straight down onto the back of my neck, and Bella quickly snapped me out of my negative thoughts.

"We've all noticed and thought about it. Just cause you're the smartest out of all of us doesn't mean we can't think for ourselves. Also, you're taking this in the wrong direction… We aren't your puppets that you are improving, but more like your younger siblings. I mean, all of us are a few weeks or days younger than you, so it makes sense,"

"Yeah, but if I really were your older siblings, then I wouldn't have sent you all to a battlefield,"

"I know what you want… You want us to be strong, which all of us have been desperately trying to achieve, so there is no need to worry about that. Also, it's nice to see you act like a human for once instead of a cold and emotionless machine,"

"Heh… Damn… Having such a large IQ really fucks with you. Overthinking is dangerous when you're as smart as me,"

"Yeah, yeah, now let's go get some lunch. You look thin as fuck,"

"Alright,"

Bella helped me up, and after I changed into some regular clothes, we all feasted on the nutritious and amazing lunch the servants had prepared for us.

We also saw the other Wony kids for the first time in a while as they were all sent to battlefields as well but as lieutenants.

The head wanted them to gain as much experience as possible, and I guess this was a perfect way.

It seemed to have hardened them and made them more mature than before.

They didn't pick fights, didn't try to provoke anybody, and just seemed overall more like genuinely likable people… which seemed impossible before.

None of them had classed up, but they were definitely covered in scars and had some mental wounds that needed time to heal… PSTD wasn't uncommon to have when coming back from war.

"Sir Orion, the head has called for you," A butler walked up to behind my chair and kindly informed me.

"*sigh*... Did he finally agree to it?" I muttered to myself before I got out of my chair, waved everybody a short goodbye, and walked to his office, the butler still following me.

"Sir, please try not to anger him. He has been stressed for quite some time now with everything that is going on,"

The butler pleaded as whenever I meet with him, I can see his blood pressure visibility shoot up when I talk about anything.

"I'll try… Can't have him dying on me yet. He's still useful," I muttered, and the butler let out a sigh mixed with relief, laughter, and a bit of nervousness.

Creeeeeeek

"Greetings. Sit down, and let's get straight to the point… First of all, the main enemy families have all managed to collude and form a new organization," The Wony head said as he sighed and placed his on his forehead, trying to see if he had a fever.

As the door closed behind me, I took a seat in front of his desk and smiled widely, to the point that I felt the tips of my mouth touch the bottom of my ears.

"Don't worry… That's all part of the plan. I'm sorry I kept this information from you, but I was the one who suggested that to a few of the people I have been talking with. For now, most of them are for clearing out the smaller families and subsidiaries. I managed to convince them that they are a threat… but eventually, once every single one of them is gone, they'll come for you. In fact, they're most likely making plans right now for when they finish the job,"

The head in front of me began to sweat even harder, and soon… just like I had expected… his nose began to bleed, and he fainted, his breathing heavy and his hot sweat still dripping onto the desk.

"You care for us but don't care for others… How lucky we are. Everything that you said before just now seems like a lie… you fucking monster," Luna muttered as she stepped out of the corner of the room.

"Now, let's have Bella take full reign of this household,"
