"Sir, do you know what's your brother is going to announce in this upcoming event?" The reporter asked.

"I'm have no idea." Replied the man with a nervous smile. "My brother tends to keep me out of anything that has to do with his business."

Bunch of reporters are swarming his way, his bodyguards barely keeping them out. He fix his eyeglass and glance at a certain someone. A woman not in her mid twenties, who's certainly feel annoyed by the crowd.

But still, she steps in front of the man. "I'll answers all your questions from now on." She says, gesturing for the man to get out.

"Thank you, sister." The man whisper to her before leaving with his bodyguards.

His bodyguards lead him to a black limousine that is waiting for him on the side of the road. He steps inside and sits beside the maid, who's lying on the seat.

The limousine starts to move, the maid slowly opens her eyes, as soon as she sees the man sitting beside her, she quickly gets up and apologize for sleeping.

"I'm sorry, Sir Nathan." She says, with a nervous tone.

Nathan is fixing his bowtie and as he finished fixing, he glance towards his maid with a smile. "It's alright, Emma. Continue your sleep."

As the limousine moves through the road, Nathan gazes out the tinted windows, lost in his own thoughts. Emma, tries to relax and leans back on the seat, closing her eyes once more.

Nathan takes a deep breath and opens a small briefcase lying next to him. Inside, there is a stack of papers and a sleek pen. He carefully examines the documents, occasionally jotting down notes and ideas with a smile etched on his face.

The limousine slows down as it approaches a luxurious hotel, the venue for the grand event that Ethan is hosting. Nathan straightens his suit and adjusts his tie before preparing to step out of the vehicle.

Nathan steps out of the limousine, greeted by the grandeur of the hotel's entrance. The flashing lights of cameras and the chatter of the crowd fills the air. He straightens his posture and puts on a confident demeanor as he makes his way towards the entrance, flanked by his loyal bodyguards and his maid.

"Ah, my lovely brother. Welcome." Ethan approach him with a smile and a wine on hand.

As Nathan locks eyes with Ethan, a sense of tension mixed with familiarity hangs in the air. He returns Ethan's smile, though there's a hint of caution in his expression.

"Thank you, Ethan. I'm looking forward to your announcement tonight," Nathan replies, his voice steady.

Ethan gestures towards the entrance of the grand event hall, inviting Nathan to join him. "Come, let's catch up before the big reveal. I have some exciting news to share."

Nathan nods and follows Ethan inside, Emma trailing behind them. The event hall is abuzz with activity, the guests mingling amidst the elegant decor and soft lighting.

As they make their way to a private area reserved for the VIPs, Ethan leans in towards Nathan. "You know, I've been working on something truly groundbreaking. It's going to change the course of our family business forever."

Nathan nods, intrigued by Ethan's words. "I can't wait to hear all about it," He responds, his curiosity piqued.

"But before that, where's our big sister? She's not the type to get late." Ethan, but he's clearly not worry about it, as he grabs a bottle of wine and pours a drink for Nathan.

"Uh, she sacrifice herself at the reporters for me." Nathan says, as he laughs nervously.

As Ethan processes the information, his expression turns to admiration. "Really? That's quite bold of her. She always did have a protective streak towards you. But let's worry about that later, I'm sure she can take care of herself." Ethan smile as he sips from his wine.

Nathan chuckles at Ethan's comment, knowing full well the lengths his sister would go to protect their family. As they continue to talk about various matters, catching up on each other's lives, Nathan's mind keeps wandering back to the documents in the briefcase.

Sensing Nathan's distraction, Ethan raises an eyebrow and asks, "What's on your mind? You seem preoccupied tonight."

Nathan hesitates for a moment, debating whether to share his thoughts. After a moment of contemplation, "I've been going over some proposals in the briefcase. Ideas to expand our business in different ways. It's all still in the early stages, but I wanted to get your input on it."

"Show it to me then." Ethan says, smiling at his brother.

OUTSIDE THE VENUE...

Lisa and Viktor are walking around, looking for something that can get them inside without anyone raising a suspicion.

"There has to be something here." Lisa says, as she continues to look around.

"Are you sure we're going to do this without, Argus?" Viktor asked with a concerned look.

Lisa casts a quick glance at Viktor before replying, "That guy... He did disappear when we needed him." She says in annoyance. "We can do this without him. You have a secret weapon, right?"

"Dunno... I don't even know if I can control it now." Viktor looked down. "I'll just hurt more people if I transform."

Suddenly, they heard a noise near the parking lot. Lisa quickly rush towards the parking lot, Viktor following her. They hide behind a car and slowly looks up to hear what's the commotion is.

"Heh, couple fighting in a parking lot." Viktor grins, "Things never gets old."

As they peeked around the car, they saw two figures arguing loudly near a parked car. The woman was gesturing angrily while the man seemed to be pleading. Lisa and Viktor exchanged a puzzled glance before focusing back on the scene before them.

"Should we intervene?" Lisa asked quietly.

Viktor shrugged, keeping an eye on the unfolding drama. "Nah, let's wait and see how it plays out. Might distract whoever's around."

"Wait... Let's take their clothes and invitation." Lisa suggest as they continue to watch the drama.

Viktor is watching the couple fights with a smile on his face, before turning around to look at Lisa. "How can we do that?" He asked.

"I have powers too, but not powerful like yours." Lisa says, as she extend her hands towards the couple.

The arguing pair suddenly stops mid sentence, looking around in confusion as if something has shifted. Within moments, their expressions change from anger to puzzlement, as if they are under some strange influence.

Viktor watches in amazement as Lisa's powers take effect. "Whoa, that's impressive. I didn't know you could do that."

"Yeah, well let's get our clothes and invitation." Lisa stands up, gesturing for Viktor to follow her.

As Lisa and Viktor cautiously approach the couple under the influence of Lisa's powers, they manage to discreetly grab the clothes and invitation without causing a scene. The couple remains in their dazed state, seemingly unaware of what just happened. Lisa and Viktor quickly retreat back to their hiding spot behind the car.

"We got what we needed," Lisa whispers to Viktor, handing him the retrieved items. "Now, let's find a way inside."

Viktor nods, examining the invitation closely. "This looks like the key to our entry. Let's hope it gets us through without a hitch."

As Lisa and Viktor make their way towards the entrance using the stolen invitation, they notice a guard stationed at the door, checking invitations and IDs of the guests. They exchange nervous glances but remain composed as they approach the guard.

The guard eyes them suspiciously as they hand over the invitation. He scrutinizes it for a moment before giving them a nod and stepping aside to let them in.

Once inside, Lisa and Viktor breathe a sigh of relief. They blend in with the crowd, trying not to attract any attention as they navigate through the crowd.

"This place is huge," Lisa whispers to Viktor as they move through the extravagant hall filled with people laughing and chatting.

She reached out for Viktor behind her but her hands only touch air. She turns around to see Viktor looking at the cake in the display stands.

"Viktor, we have a mission to accomplish here," Lisa reminds him, trying to pull his attention away from the enticing dessert.

Viktor tears his gaze away from the cake, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I know, I know. But a little detour for cake wouldn't hurt, right?"

Lisa shakes her head. "Fine, but do it quick." She says in annoyance. "Why does all the boys always act the same." She remembered Argus doing the same when he's always with her.

Viktor chuckles at Lisa's exasperation and quickly grabs a small piece of the cake from the display. "There, quick and easy. Now, back to business."

Lisa rolls her eyes but can't help but smile at Viktor's antics. "Alright, let's focus. We need to find out more about what's going on here and what will Ethan announce in this event of his."
