Haaaa~
Nana breathed out in satisfaction as she rubbed her little tummy which was a little bloated from eating.
Sera saw this and laughed, "Are you full?"
Nana nodded adorably.
Sera giggled and looked around, she saw the happiness on everyone’s faces. They had just finished eating and were planning to rest first.
After 10 minutes or so, Margareth stood up and said, "I assu that you have rested well enough. Let’s go!"
"I don’t like it when you act all jolly." Rina said as she squinted her eyes.
To prevent them from bickering, Ren chid in imdiately, "Where are we going?"
Margareth tore her glare away from Rina and happily answered, "Well, it’s a secret, Commander!"
Hearing this, Rina held Ren’s hand, walking after Margareth.
Margareth saw this and just scoffed loudly.
Zen and Sera, who were silently following behind them, were amused by their antics.
While Nana started dozing off on Sera’s shoulders.

After a while of walking, the group arrived in front of a gate that seed to be at least 2.5 ters tall.
"Co, I’ll introduce you all to the upper echelons of Eden Republic!" Margareth loudly said before opening the door for the group.
Creak– Dun!
The door sounded quite heavy. However, Margareth was still able to push it quite easily.
Behind the door was an oblong table. The kind that was used in etings and such. It was also wide enough for 20 people to sit at.
It could be seen that the 4 chairs close to the head of the table were occupied.
A bespectacled young man that was wearing a suit and looked intelligent, a woman wearing all black with low presence, a burly 2-ter tall man who had a bald head, and a woman who seed to be wearing a doctor’s white coat were occupying the seats.
Rina was the first to enter after Margareth. She saw the people sitting at the table and was surprised.
However, when the people at the table t her gaze, they flinched involuntarily.
Rina smiled and pulled Ren inside without a word.
As soon as Ren stepped in the room and saw the four people, he froze.
Zen and Sera, who had just entered, saw this scene and kept silent.
The four people stood up and rushed one by one towards Ren.
"Commander!" The 2-ter burly man was the first to hug him.
"Commander!" The three other people followed shortly after.
Ren, who was sward by the four, said happily, "Hassan! Ethan! Olivia! Veronica! I’ve missed all of you!"
Rina and Margareth smiled at the sight of this.
On the other hand, Zen, and Sera, who still had the sleeping Nana on her shoulders, looked at each other and whispered among themselves.
"So they are Dad’s colleagues from the past?"
"Yes, I think so. Look at the smile on their faces."
"It feels like we’re watching a show where the mc united with his long lost friends."
"I know right. Besides, their story really did look like it ca out of a book or sothing."
Still, the two of them smiled as they felt happy for their parents.
***
About an hour later...
Zen and Sera smilingly looked at their parents who had just finished catching up with their old comrades.
"Commander, are they your kids with Boss?"
At this mont, a tough voice sounded near the siblings.
They felt a presence behind them as a huge shadow lood over them.
Zen and Sera looked up and saw a 2-ter tall man grinning at them
"Hassan, they’re Commander’s kids. Give them a break." Margareth reprimanded the 2-ter tall man.
At this mont, Rina chuckled and said while smiling, "Don’t worry about them."
Garren saw the look on his wife’s face which made him confused. ’Is there sothing I don’t know about?’
Now that their boss had spoken, everyone just kept silent and observed. Anyway, they were also curious about Ren and Rina’s children.
"Hey, kid. You’re Commander and Boss’s kid, right?" The 2-ter tall burly man called Hassan said intimidatingly.
However, to everyone’s dismay, Zen and Sera’s facial expressions didn’t change.
Zen was still staring at him calmly while Sera was busy caressing the sleeping Nana.
The reason for Zen’s confidence was, of course, his strength. However, for Sera, her source of confidence was her brother.
Seeing that her brother was calm, she didn’t bother to react either. Since they were kids, although they often fought, Zen had always protected her from harm.
Seeing their calm expressions, Hassan was intrigued.
Pat!
He sat across them and placed his arm on the table. "How about a round of arm wrestling? Are you down?"
Zen didn’t answer and just looked at his mom who then nodded at him.
Hassan saw this and chuckled, "What, are you asking for your mama’s help? As if she’ll be able to do any—"
"Ehem." Rina’s cough cut his words off.
Hassan shuddered and said, "A-anyways! Are you scared or what?"
Seeing him break out of character, everyone in the room let out a soft chuckle.
Zen shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Co at , Mr. Hassan."
Hassan grinned and held Zen’s hand.
"I’ll be your referee." At this mont, a feminine voice sounded. Zen looked up and saw that it was the woman who was wearing a white doctor’s coat.
"Perfect, Veronica. In case soone gets injured, you’ll be able to apply first aid imdiately." Hassan said as he smiled threateningly at Zen.
If not for his fearful expression earlier that looked as if he was caught red handed by his mom while watching so 18 shows, Zen would have believed that he really wanted to bully him.
Zen didn’t speak and just waited for Veronica’s countdown.
"Okay, at the count of 1, 2, 3... go!" Veronica let go of their hands the mont she said go.
However, neither of the two exerted force on their hands.
"You go first." Hassan said with a smile.
Without speaking any further, Zen used his strength and slowly pushed Hassan’s hand.
When the back of his hand was about to touch the table, Hassan grinned and used his full force.
Tap!
However, his face soon froze. He stared at Zen in shock as the back of his hand touched the table.
"Woah, it looks like I won. Good ga, Mr. Hassan." Zen said with a smile as he clapped his hands.
