"That was one hell of irritation. Who knew that their death will be such a hot topic? And then again, they are famous people after all", Dion said with an understanding but mocking tone.
"Mother was an actress. Edward was a CEO of some...Enterprise..wasn't it? Lewis was some businessman...Yea he was", Sara started to remember the (undercover) occupations of her so-called parents.
"Speaking of Father's Wine Enterprise, some of his subordinates are trying to take hold of it", Dion sat in his thinking position.
"Devil's Winery...What a grand name. It suits you Delvatores", Eric blandly said. But in reality, it sounded venomous.
(Translation: You are a devil, so don't try to be an angel)
Eric had a little bad side for his big brother Dion, which wasn't at all helpful to Sara at times like this.
A knock was heard, followed by Fred requesting someone's presence outside.
They got up and went outside.
As to how Fred was talking about the guest, it seemed that they were someone prestigious.
After coming out from the mansion's boundary, they saw a man and a boy around Dion's age, leaning on the black limousine that was behind them. They were waiting for (them) someone.
The boy had his arms crossed, while the man was smiling looking at the three siblings. In Eric's words, the smile was that of a killer but not so killing.
Pretty confusing, right?
"Ho-ho! It seems that our guests have arrived! How about we talk inside?", The man opened the door of the limo.
Guests? But shouldn't they be the ones?
Sara's mind was filled with suspicion.
Are they Father's subordinates?
Dion was fretting inside.
Why is this man so familiar with the description I have seen in that killing book? Is he some Underworld celebrity?
Eric had to cool down to process some more.
Anyway. If they attack us, it will take only one dagger to shut them down
Eric was feeling the dagger in his back pocket.

"Why don't we introduce ourselves?", The unknown man clasped his hands.
His acting is so fake that it's making me want to throw up
The three thought together.
"I am Heinz Vlad Jemisha. I know the name is quite long so why don't you call me Heinz?", His overly familiar presence was making them flinch.
Meanwhile, the boy only shrugged.
Then the man—Heinz turned towards the boy.
Everyone turned to face him.
That's why I don't like this
The boy mentally sighed.
"I am Liam Cole Jemisha", It was evident that this boy—Liam was someone related to Heinz. We can't say he is Heinz's son since we shouldn't jump to conclusions easily, right?
Gosh! Don't tell me that they are after us!
Sara was already sketching out their next assassination plan.
"I am Sara Luther Harold", Sara said without a hint of hesitation. She didn't use Tatiana as her last name.
"I am Dion Edward Delvatore", Dion almost tried to bow. After all, he is a man of culture.
"I am Eric Lewis Stanley"
Although Eric didn't want to pronounce the name Lewis from his mouth, he still had to do it for the sake of formalities.
"Ah, I see. My condolences for such a loss", He put his hand on his chest like how those old noble people would do.
"It's alright", Sara said in a low volume, hinting at how sad they are.
If they are after an arranged marriage, I swear I'll pull the worst card of killing for this old hag
Eric was already preparing tons of such methods.
.....Sometimes I forget as to why did we kill them
Dion being the forgetful naive mf, thought.
I have second thoughts about this Heinz...Although Liam isn't giving the vibe of a baddie, I still can't trust him.
Sara fumbled with the hem of her dress.
Suddenly, Heinz pulled out a piece of paper and some photos from a folder and placed them in front of the siblings.
"I should really compliment you, Sara. The assassination or murder attempt was superb", Heinz chuckled as the temperature around the siblings starts to drop.
SWOSH
A knife appeared and was pressed on Heinz's nape. The one who did it was Eric.
"Like Father, Like Son. Lewis also did this to me when he was an apprentice of mine. But Eric's style is better than Lewis. Good job. You must be the second person after your father to attempt to kill me", Heinz's smile became a little bit creepy.
A tch escaped from Liam's lips.
"Eric...Place it down", Sara commanded him. Eric just growled in response but soon placed it away.
They couldn't afford to create any further hassle.
"What do you want?", Dion asked them. He folded his hands and looked at them with an atmosphere of demand.
"Very Simple. Be my children", He said.
"Sorry we don't want to be your children", The three said together.
"Then be my apprentices", He added.
They knew what was the meaning of being his apprentice.
He was someone connected to the Underworld. Being his people meant being going further into the dark void. The void where light couldn't enter no matter how it tried.
If they didn't accept his proposal, he would immediately send the papers to the news world.
Which meant their demise.
So...
"We accept...but only half", Sara looked at him.
What are you doing Sara!?
Dion and Eric wanted to cover her mouth.
"Half?", Heinz looked amused, that Sara had some brains...unlike her mother.
And then again, her father was a businessman.
Heinz looked at the young girl with interest.
"Since we are still children, we would like to know the world better. But you are still our master and we are you, disciples. We will follow in your footsteps...But only half", Sara did her best to explain.
Liam smirked, which got unnoticed by everyone.
This is interesting
Liam composed himself, even though he wanted to smile, smirk and challenge her.
"I accept. Here...Get me your signs", Liam handed them a contract paper.
Sara hesitantly signed, still cautious of the duo. She still made a mental note to check and give a fake signature.
Dion put his second sign, which he only used for emergency purposes.
Eric just gave a random sign, since he read (red) in his book to not give out their real signature to unknown people.
"Since Liam kun accepts, I should accept it too", Heinz declared with a proud smile on his face.
The funny thing was that no one knew what was happening inside the Limo and that, Liam was Heinz's nephew.
And last but not least...
Obscure to the three siblings, they signed a contract which might cost their life...Their freedom...Their loyalty.
Unknown to them (except for Eric), the person they had a contract with was the Emperor of the Underworld.
