Leo followed Mrs Smith inside the house, where Dard had already made himself at home so did Leo when all three of them started talking about their past life, Mr Smith and Mrs Smith were the owners of the orphanage both Leo and Dard spent most of their life, or one could say their Childhood.
Both of them were known as the Lovely couple because of the orphanage, They were known to bring the kids from the street's to the orphanage as both of them were unable to have a child of their own.
Leo was the first ever child they brought from the street's and gave him a house, seeing the happiness on Leo’s face they decided to bring more and help them till they can have the life they deserved as Leo was the first child Mrs Smith was very close to Leo, as he always calls her Mom which gives Mrs Smith the happiness that a mother feels.
"How have you been, Mom?" asked Leo when Mrs Smiths eye started to water when she hugged Leo tightly as she spoke while crying "Leo, you have grown so big," when she also pulled Dard dragged in the hug, and she continued "Both of you, we thought we lost you in that horrible incident".
"It's fine mom, as long as we all are safe, we just have to forget about it and just enjoy". It was then when Henry came in with food from outside as they all sat even henry and enjoyed the food and spent sometime together as it was time to leave, they bid their goodbyes when Leo informed both of them they would keep dropping by the house every once in a while.
They were in the car traveling back when Leo told Dard about the meeting that was going to be held and the stuff he discussed with Anne before and also about the meeting held where the introduction of the new top team will be done between themselves.
When they reached at the main office building, Leo received a text from Anne saying everyone is present and now are waiting for them as Leo informed Anne they are own the way.
As they reached, they entered through the back entrance and in the elevator towards one of the top floors into the meeting room, when they enter they saw everyone was waiting for them, as Dard and Henry took their seats Leo spoke, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting, well we are here on this auspicious day of the management change of Kawashimas, All of you are now an important part of this management, I already think you know the name change of the company to XWORLD, it's not just the name that changed, but the business will start to scatter over all of Kosmos, we will not rush towards this but will take precautions and will advance slowly towards the top, and for XWORLD to reach the top we need to enter another world that we have not yet touched as we have to enter as we can not miss this opportunity, the first step we will be taking is to enter the game The Lost World and form a guild there and will make sure the XWORLD grows, and we are the one to finish the aim of the game that is to find that Lost World."

The meeting room was silent, there was no noise when Leo stopped talking, after some thinking everyone started nodding agreeing to the idea when Leo started speaking again, "You all have 3 hours until the game starts again, after this meeting Anne will hold a meeting for the people who have not yet joined the game, so you will have 3 hours to learn the basic and in the game it will my responsibility to level every one of you up and as fast as possible".
Leo stopped as everyone nodded and agreed, seeing everyone agreeing he spoke again, "Now it's time, Let's start the Introductions".
