”Good luck at training! Iʼll meet you tomorrow!” Zera said excitedly as she escorted Adam out of the car.

”Oh, right! I almost forgot. Take this.” Zera leaned over, extending her hand forward, holding a simple-looking flash drive.

Adam raised an eyebrow in confusion.

”Whatʼs this?”

Zera smirked.

”A gift, from me and our mutual friends by now. Open the file with my name first if you donʼt want to spoil your appetite.”

Adam frowned slightly but didnʼt refuse. Something told him it might be something interesting because Zera was an unusual person. Then, Adam contacted Silvana and cast her a hard, annoyed look after the training in the virtual zone.

”Khm. I apologize, I should have warned you beforehand. Itʼs just... things happened so fast, and I couldnʼt say no to them. I had to act on the situation.” Silvana said guiltily, lowering her head.

Adam sighed.

”I see... First Ring is the center of the Citadel not only for its wealth and entertainment, itʼs the center of organizations and people with their goals.” Adam touched his forehead with his fingertips, ”Damn, we saw each other for the first time, and ten minutes later she offered to get her pregnant. Thatʼs definitely not normal.”

Silvana coughed.

”Itʼs not exactly like that.”

”Hmm?”

”In fact, you would have gotten such an offer from many hardcore followers of the Crimson Path, because they consider polygamy to be the standard, as it helps spread strong genes faster. However... it has a dark side besides the lust and pleasure that may have entered your mind.” Silvanaʼs face grew paler. Adam listened silently. He wasnʼt a hypocrite, and he didnʼt hide the fact that he had such thoughts, for he was a young man, and Zera was pushy and sexy. But, Silvanaʼs face showed that there was something cruel behind it.

”The women of Crimson Path have no appreciation for children who couldnʼt become Phantoms. When it turns out that a child doesnʼt have Spark despite having two Phantom parents, the best thing that can happen is exile from the family. The women of Crimson Path donʼt feel bad about it, because to them itʼs just a misfortune on the road to success - the birth of a new Phantom.”

Silvana continued, ”They might even send the children to the slums, or at best some of the common people who believe in Crimson Path will take them in.”

”Common people...?” Adam asked curiously.

”Sure. In fact, most of the representatives of the Crimson Path, Azure Lotus, and Dark Order are ordinary people. After all, theyʼre not closed sects but organizations.”

”But... Arenʼt the Crimson Path in favor of blood purity?” Adam was puzzled.

”Yes, but theyʼre not against humans, no one is against ordinary people. Their followers also hold to blood purity, which is why ordinary people who are members of Crimson Path will never have children with Phantoms so as not to decrease blood purity.” Silvana explained.

Adam nodded with a deep gaze.

”I see... Well, at least they are consistent, and their goals are clear. Anyway, I want to see whatʼs in here.” Adam said, showing a black flash drive. Silvana nodded, and they headed from the kitchen to her room. She inserted the flash drive, and a file opened with two folders: [Zera
