and ns they stepped into the villa, Alan's eyes widened in awe. The interior was even more breathtaking than the exterior, with elegant furnitures, artwork and expensive views.
Sam led Alan to the living room, where a woman with a beautiful face and features rose from the couch.
"Look, Sofia! This is our new son, Alan. He is our son who was lost years ago!"
"Welcome, Alan!" She said, her eyes sparkling with confidence."Myself Sofia hills, and I'm your mother from now on."
Alan felt a sense of relief wash over him as Sofia's gentle behaviour put him at ease.
Just then, a middle-aged with a warm face and elegant eyes entered the room. "Sam, I've reviewed these financial reports and we need to discuss—"
"Alan! This is Ricky Wang, our family manager. Ricky, this is Alan. He's my son who was lost years ago and now he's... a part of our family."
Ricky's eyes widened slightly, but he extended his hand. "Welcome, Alan. I'll make sure you get everything set up by evening."
Evening time
Alan was in his room upstairs and thinking about his new family. While in the dimily lit basement, the couple and the manager were onto something important.
"I don't think your decision of adopting Alan is right. I bet he's intelligent enough to know that we're Archenese spies, and that will put us in danger." Said Ricky.
"That's not right. I researched about him, and I got to know that he has no parents. In this utmost luxury, who would care if their parents are spies or not?" Replied Sam.
"Yeah!" Sofia too started her point. "Alan knows that we are Royal elites, and he wouldn't bother about us when he's got a big house and so much money. And if we adopted a younger kid, most of our time would be gone taking care of him."
"I see but..." Ricky was confused. "I don't think he'll stay quiet once he gets to know about him. And his fate would be the same as..... your sister."
Sam's blood boiled. He was fuming with anger and clenched his fists. His face twisted in rage, and he launched himself on Ricky.
The sound of the punch echoed in the basement, and for a moment, the only sound was the heavy breathing of the two men.
"Don't you dare!" Sam growled, his voice low and menacing. "You have no rights to bring her up.
Ricky rubbed his jaw, his eyes flashing with a mix of pain and understanding. "I didn't mean to—"
Sam cut him off, his voice cold. "You never mean to, but you do. You always oppose my decisions even though I am the leader of this mission. Don't you dare to stop me from doing anything."
He stepped out of the basement and closed the door harshly. Sofia was dumbfound and didn't knew what happened just now.
"What's with her sister, Ricky? What happened to her?" She asked.
Ricky ignored her and went straight out of the room.

History time
The island of Vanyole has a long history. Till 1890, it was ruled by a kingdom named the bricon dynasty. There was two ethnicities living there, namely Elymirians and Archenese. When the Briconians were leaving the island, both ethnicities wanted them to divide the country into two. And they did the same, and divided Vanyole into Elymire and Archenland. In 1942, Elymire invaded the Archenese islands of Cinia. To get back the city, Archenese goverment sent spies accross Elymire. To this date, many spies live in Elymire and....
