The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy!-Chapter 762: Be As Crazy As You Want

Charles sat on the bed, his back resting against the headboard. When he glanced up, he saw Finn seated on a chair nearby.

"What are you still doing here?" he asked his son-in-law. "You should be with your brothers. Helping them, probably."

Finn lowered his phone and looked at his father-in-law. "I am helping them, Dad. Staying here with you helps."

"Penny could’ve stayed," Charles grumbled bitterly.

"Unfortunately, I’m not the owner of a large security firm," Finn replied with a faint smile. "But don’t worry. I’ll stay here so they won’t have to."

"What about your wife, huh?" Charles scrunched up his nose. "Shouldn’t you be by her side?"

Finn smacked his lips, his smile widening. "Nina and Mom are with the quadruplets. They’ll be fine."

The two men stared at each other for a moment before Charles let out a deep sigh. He turned his gaze toward the window, staring at the dark sky where the clouds hid the moon.

"I wonder if Atlas will ever be able to leave this life behind," he muttered. "Or if there’s even a way for him to live normally without all of this."

Finn studied his father-in-law for a second before turning toward the window as well. A shallow breath escaped him.

"I hope so," he whispered.

[Global Prime Headquarters]

Penny’s hand slammed onto the desk, snapping everyone at their tables and cubicles to attention. She looked at them sharply before pressing a button that activated the large screen behind her.

Everyone had been called into the office in the middle of the night for an emergency operation. They had been told that hostages were taken, and now they were to assist in the rescue mission.

That meant supporting the main team that was already part of their client’s organization.

"Tonight, this place was attacked," Penny stated, showing the Mansion where the Order were at. "The enemies have taken hostages, on top of taking down a few of their security."

She explained further, giving them an overview of the situation before she drew a deep breath. "From what our client told me, this is the likely location where the hostages were taken."

She clicked another button, and a map of the Bellemonte Family’s estate appeared on the screen.

"I want you to assist his team and find out anything — anything — about the situation!" she stressed. "You got it?! If possible, hack their system and take control of everything. The main team that would be in the field would be planting our system device. Prioritize cutting this place of any communication outside."

"Yes, ma’am!"

"Move!"

At her command, the rows of men at their tables and computers immediately got to work. Some left to grab coffee for the team — necessary fuel for what lay ahead.

As Penny stood watching them mobilize, Yugi approached her from the side.

"Penny," he called, tugging lightly at her shoulder. "Let’s talk."

She turned and nodded, following him outside the office. The moment she closed the door behind her, Yugi leaned in, panic written all over his face.

"Penny, Mom is going to kill me!" he whisper-yelled. "She’s been looking for Yuri and said if I don’t bring her this week, I’m dead. Have you found her?"

Penny bit her tongue, realizing Yuri had almost slipped her mind.

"First Brother was attacked—"

"I know! That’s why I’m even more worried!" he blurted out, running a hand down his face. "What if something already happened to her?"

"I doubt it."

"What?"

Penny exhaled deeply. "Yugi, the reason my brother was attacked and suffered this badly is that he sent people to rescue Yuri. On top of him, leaving and splitting his forces."

Even though Atlas was away and half of the Phantom Circle had followed him, many of their fighters had left for that mission. Those who remained in the Order were still skilled, and they managed to defend their territory from complete destruction, which was already impressive.

However, no one could deny that splitting their forces had increased the damage.

"Let’s focus on this first," Penny urged. "I’m sure the people First Brother sent to Yuri will bring good news."

She reached out and grabbed his shoulder. "First Brother would never let anything happen to Yuri." She pressed her lips together. "And he would never let anything happen to us. So I don’t want anything bad happening to him, or First Sister, or the children."

Yugi’s brows slowly rose, his eyes widening slightly. After a moment, understanding dawned on his face. It had been years since he’d seen that look on Penny’s face, and seeing it now felt like a sharp slap of reality.

He gave her a wry smile. "I’m sorry," he said softly. "I was being insensitive. Sure. Let’s... let’s focus on this first."

They held each other’s gaze, exchanging subtle, determined smiles.

[Pierson Residence]

Zoren stood before the men lined up across the vast grounds of their estate. They were fully geared, armed as if preparing for war.

"I know you’ve already heard that some of your friends from the Phantom Circle were compromised," he began sternly, scanning them with sharp eyes. "It’s been years since some of you chose to retire from the Phantom Circle. However, that retirement — that peace — is something we owe to Atlas Bennet."

Whether they all liked it or not, that was a fact none of them could deny.

"The Order needs your help," Zoren continued. "This will be dangerous. The enemies are connected to the Secret Society. So, those unwilling to assist may leave now. But for those willing to lend their strength and skills, you have my gratitude. I, and the Order, will stand by your side."

He waited as silence stretched in them, but not a single man moved. They remained standing in place, no hesitation visible on their faces.

"Boss..." One of the team leaders, Angel, suddenly spoke. He scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "Can we just go already? Honestly, we’re kind of excited. Things have been too peaceful lately."

Of course, they weren’t happy about what had happened to the Order. But they couldn’t deny the truth — part of them felt alive again.

Since Atlas took over the Order, life had been peaceful. Too peaceful. And a part of them missed the adrenaline.

Zoren studied their expressions, listening to the murmured agreements. A sigh escaped him before he nodded.

"I won’t hold you back any longer," he said. "Second Brother and Third Brother will join you."

He paused before nodding firmly. "Move out... and come back alive."

"Yes, sir!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

With that, Zoren watched his men prepare to leave, almost as if heading out on a field trip. He shook his head, then turned and walked toward his car.

Sending them didn’t mean he was staying behind.

At the same time, Atlas sat inside the plane that had brought him here.

Unlike before, it was just him and Baby. Everyone else stayed to prepare, but they all would soon move.

He sat quietly, his phone resting in his hand, his eyes fixed on it.

"Lola," he whispered, his gaze darkening. "Buy me some time, darling."

Then he closed his eyes and prayed silently.

Be as crazy as you want... just don’t... die.
