[Few Hours Later]
“Levi! We brought someone!” Jules ran to hug their brother.
Levi’s eyes narrowed as he took Gwyneth’s appearance.
“Who are you?” Levi leaned closer, his gaze calculative.
“I’m Gwyneth, and Jules saved me. I currently don’t have a home, so Jules offered me to live here. I can leave,” Gwyneth looked down.
Levi sighed as he ran his hand through his locks. “Alright, fine, but you must pull your weight, such as cleaning, washing, etc. Unless you have a job, you can bring income to the apartment.”
[Few Hours Later]
It was dark outside, the apartment dimmed by the moonlight. Eli had a pillow on the floor with a skinny blanket. Eli looks to the side, seeing Gwyneth and Jules sleeping under the same blanket.
Wow, we need a bed.
Eli turned his gaze to the ceiling and sighed.
Well, I should check everything that happened.

What the?! This cost a lot of [MP]! [Fa Jin Strike]? Like using chi? Does chi exist here?
Eli’s eyes widened, and his jaw hung loose.
I should probably get some sleep. I’m so tired.
Eli’s eyes closed as he finally slept.
[Next Day]
Eli woke up to the sound of cooking. He quickly walks to the kitchen.
What the hell?! Is that food?! And not cup noodles?!
Eli’s eyes widened as he saw Gwyneth and Jules cook together. Jules had their hair tied into a ponytail. Levi was setting the table.
“What’s up, guys?” Eli walked closer as he started to set the dishes down.
“We are going to the beach today!” Jules’ lips curled into a smile.
“The beach?! We don’t even have swimming clothes! Well, I don’t, but regardless!”
“Just wear shorts and take off your shirt! You’ll be fine,” Jules set down the plates filled with rice and curry.
Everybody sat down and started eating.
“Holy shit! This is actually pretty good! Jules and Gwyneth, you guys are geniuses!” Eli savors the flavor; the beef melts in his mouth.
“Gwen did all the work. I just brought the ingredients,” Jules waved dismissively and scratched the back of his head.
“Don’t say that! You definitely helped!” Gwyneth swatted Jules’ arm.
Levi and Eli looked at each other. Eli leaned closer to Levi’s ear.
“Psst… is this what they call love?” Eli whispered in Levi’s ear.
“I think so, never experienced it,” Levi whispered back.
“What’re you guys whispering about?” Jules raised his eyebrow as he stuffed another mouthful of food.
“Nothing, Jules, nothing,” Eli chuckled.
[Few Hours Later]
They exited the bus and stepped onto the beach. Eli exhales the fresh hair, seagulls squawking, and waves crashing into nearby rocks.
“Time to swim!” Eli runs to the water.
He takes off his shirt, revealing his skinny frame. Levi takes off his shirt, revealing his lean muscles. Jules has a regular shirt on, with shorts, and Gwyneth as well, with shorts.
“Sir, it appears Eli is at the A-District Beach,” a man opened the door, entering the office.
“Hm, should I pay him a visit? I am very interested in him. Eli Gray, the similarities are vague between Jack Gray. Eli has been stirring up trouble, not like I care. Hmm, I guess I will pay him a visit. I am curious,” the man swirled his glass goblet filled with wine before taking a sip.
“Pry to tell on how you knew this information?” The man sets his goblet down as he crosses his legs.
“One of the men was following them.”
“I see. Give me my suit,” the man stood up, towering over the other man.
“Right away,” the man turned his heel and exited the office.
“Eli Gray, Eli Gray, perhaps, you’re related to Jack Gray?”
“Heh, Jules and Gwyneth! We’ll be right back! We’re going to buy sodas!” Eli and Levi left them alone.
Jules: wow, what a beautiful day. The sun is setting in as the waves crash onto the shore.
“Jules, are you a boy or a girl?” Gwyneth turned her head in Jules’ direction.
“I’m a guy,” Jules scratched his head.
“Oh, I thought you were a girl,” Gwyneth’s lips curled into a soft smile.
Eli and Levi arrived with a bag of soda. They set the bag on the beach towel.
“Eli, I’ll be right back,” Levi cracked his knuckles.
Eli felt something churning in his stomach.
“Uh, okay?” Eli’s eyebrow raised as he saw Levi walking away.
Levi: Someone is spying on us. I saw them and felt their presence, and I think they went here.
Levi walks into an empty alleyway, trash littered on the ground.
“Fancy seeing you here, Levi,” Levi tilts his head, meeting the tall man’s gaze.
“Samuel, I told you. If I ever meet you again—“
“Prove it!” Samuel’s mouth was agape, revealing his gold teeth.
Levi shifts his weight, hammering a punch to Samuel’s midsection. Levi’s eyes widened as Samuel didn’t budge. Samuel looked down and grinned.
“You damn creepy pink-haired bastard!” Levi grits his teeth as he spins his body backward.
His heel connects with Samuel’s jaw.
Levi: it’s like hitting metal!
“Levi, you stopped training. How naughty,” Samuel gut-punched Levi.
Levi’s eyes rolled back as he dropped onto his knees.
Levi: h-how?! He and I were at the same fighting level. Did I really fall that back? This bastard isn’t using his full strength. He’s laughing at it too.
