Lucius and his maids, Luna and Liora, had arrived at the Garran Estate. They walked inside, ignoring the guards that were stationed there.
The guards didn't do anything as they could see the Astra Academy's badge on Lucius cloth. Astra Academy was the best in the empire after all.
Dorian Garran, the patriarch of the Garran family, was surprised and iritated when he saw that Lucius had entered the main hall of his estate.
He stood up and looked at Lucius. "Young Master Lucius, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Wind Valley completing your mission?"
Lucius smirked and said, "Oh, but I have already completed it. That's why I am here."
Lucius then took out the 3-Star Bear Core from his spatial ring. "I've retrieved what was required to evolve the Thunder Hawk into a Storm Hawk."
Dorian was surprised when he saw the 3-Star Bear Core in Lucius' hand. "Impossible. It's only been a week since you left... how could you have…"
Lucius only smirked and said, . "I have my ways. Now, summon the beast. You wouldn't want to upset the Academy, would you?"
Dorian was frustated after being threatened by Lucius. He then called out his son. "Kalidorn! Co here! It's ti to evolve your beast!"
Monts later, Kalidorn entered the room. He was surprised when he saw that Lucius was here. "How are you still alive? After those—"
Lucius turned to him. He was a bit surprised hearing that soone dared to say that he's dead. "What was that?"
Before Kalidorn could finish, Dorian stepped forward and silenced his son. "Don't mind him. He is just surprised seeing that you are fine."
Lucius smirked as he clasped his hands behind. "I see. Then summon your beast now. I don't have ti for petty distractions."
Dorian frowned and turned to his son and shouted. "Kalidorn, summon your Thunder Hawk. Now."
Dorian's jaw tightened, but he turned to his son and barked, "Kalidorn, summon your Thunder Hawk. Now."
Kalidorn stepped closer and glared at Lucius while clenching both of his fists. "You'd better make sure you evolve it successfully, or..."
Before Kalidorn could finish his threat, Luna stepped forward and stopped right in front of Kalidorn with a smirk.
"Or what, dear stupid brother?"
Kalidorn was surprised and angry seeing Luna blocking him. "You bitch. You're no Garran anymore. You're just a slave. How dare you—"
Kalidorn raised his hand to strike her, but Liora moved faster. She appeared beside him; her claw was already pressed firmly against his throat.
She stared at Kalidorn coldly and threatened. "Try it. I dare you to slap here. I dare you."
Dorian beca angry the mont he saw the scene. Dorian glanced at Liora and shouted, "You dare threaten my son?"
Before Dorian could do sothing, Lucius raised his hand and cut Dorian's words.
"Patriarch Garran, you should teach your son so manners. You do not wish for your son's beast to be... you know, right... solely because of this scene."
Dorian froze. He began to calm down and turned to Kalidorn. "Stand down! Now!"
Kalidorn was in anger as he glared at Lucius, but he stepped back reluctantly.
Liora also did the sa, as she retracted her claws from Kalidorn while still observing him. "You'd better thank the Master for his rcy."
Kalidorn was so angry that his fist trembled and murmured. "I'll make you pay for this. I'll make sure of this."
Lucius chuckled. "You're welco to try. But first, let's see if you can handle the results of your beast's evolution."
With that, Lucius turned around and went toward the prepared room. Luna and Liora followed him from behind while bringing the Thunder Hawk.
Behind them, the Garran family was full of anger and frustation, but sadly, they could not do anything to Lucius and his maids.
---
Lucius could see that a lot of materials had been prepared inside the room. "The Garrans had really provided a lot for this hawk's evolution beside the beast core."
Lucius smirked and turned to the system. "System, absorb all of the materials here. Don't leave anything behind."
The materials in the room began to vanish one by one. They dissolved into the air to beco Lucius' HP.
As the last of the materials disappeared, Lucius turned his attention to the Thunder Hawk that was resting in the center of the room.

Lucius glanced at Luna and Liora. "Stay alert. I don't want to be disturbed when I evolve it."
Both won nodded. They moved to guard the door. Luna with her daggers and Liora with her claws.
Lucius began the evolution by telling the system to make it sleep and forget everything like usual.

Lucius was not surprised seeing the price and amused by it. "Only 100 Hack Points? It isn't as expensive as I thought. Let's do it."
Lucius executed the hack and the Thunder Hawk's body began to glow.Its wing began to grow broader. Its talons beca sharper. Its feather had also darkened a bit and contained the power of the storm.The transformation was seamless and because it was asleep, it didn't scream in pain at all.
When the glow subsided, a 3-Star Storm Hawk lied on the floor. Lucius stepped back and admired it for a minute before thinking sothing else.
He rembered about how arrogant the Garrans were, especially Kalidorn, and seeing that this beast was his, Lucius smirked.
"I wonder what kind of nasty hacks I should put onto this hawk. There were really a lot of them." Lucius smirked as he began to think of a lot of possibilities.
