'Morningstar.....Winchester, This has to be faith or something right system?'

Alex was keep looking at the name front of system panel, rising corner of his lips in a sly look, as he couldn't see past the surname front of his eyes.

He knew that Isolde is special to the plot but he was too busy dealing with the current mess in his hands like of Alia, Rose, Helen, oh that Night Empress Belladonna etc that he not had time to just relax and breath to pay attention to the this mid-late plot.

Isolde's name do pop up in ealry plot but her surname was always the Gayler, never the Morningstar.

Who are the Morningstar's? Well same what Winchester are in the capital in light doing business being the strongest of 4 family's in capital, Morningstar are in the underworld, doing everything that can't be done in the light.

Sell guns, durges, medicine, organs, people, endangered beasts meat or exotic animals as an pets to tame or do whatever they want with it.

Morningstar family do business in pretty much everything but mostly in the stuff that can't be done in the light, can only do in the black market underground sprade networks.

Yeah Winchester family also have it's fair share of dealing with underground market after all, there are some stuff you really can't do in the light.

But Winchester might be the Queen above the land in capital, even other top leading behind families have to give Winchester family a face.

That is why Lisa current Head of the White family goes to Winchester family castle manor not the other way around, it's just simple thing in eyes of others look past it but people on that level know it was subtle reminder of the

hierarchy.

Telling others in capital that even White family, Which is 2nd only to the Winchester family when it's come to the money needed to show their respect to the Winchester's without saying anything at all.

After all, Winchester's not only have money but also hold a power, there are 2 known S-Rank in the family, one is family's ancestor and other one is titled as one in millennium prodigy, Amara.

It was enough just having S-ranks like Amara to be arrogant but there are 10 peak A-Ranks also sleeping in the ancestors ground protecting the family silently, not to mention there was such many B-Rank and others sprade around in both capital and family.

Though other's not sure about it but there is still Belladonna's family having a political marriage alliance with Winchester, making both strongest and 2nd strongest family tie with each other to make both even stronger.

He running away from the marriage may have delayed the merger but no one in capital have guts to mock or questioning about the alliance of both family, simply beliving Alex was just acting out, which son of their's didn't? They never consider that marriage alliance of that beneficial would be broken just because groom ran away.

So it was safe to say Winchester family is undisputed ruler in the capital, not by the official title but simply too powerful that no one need to say it aloud, even government give preference treatment given 35% of arms and military equipments made by the Winchester's not jusy normal one's but for the awakened arsenal's too.

Morningstar's are same as Winchester family but just hidden in the shadows and underworld of the capital, doing whatever they wanted being the undisputed Queen of underworld.

Winchester's also wanted to entre in the underworld to do business offically not just seller but at seat of the underworld group because there alway something they can't do openly being tied to the government manufacturers.

Yeah there is lot of money and power being tied to the official stuff but most of the things they made can't be sold to others because of too many red and gray lines and lot of red tapes to even able to sell their stuff.

Profit of doing all that is negligible, that was on purpose too, though government can allow Winchesters to act however they want, even they have limits when it's about selling arms outside of their country.

They can't officially stop it because Winchester only wanted to sell indigenous in house made weapons but those wepa9ns were better then what military R & D able to create it.

So they put on so many paperworks and redlining that it is impossible to sell weapon's outside directly, If wanted to do business with outside world one can only do with what country approve

But there is no such things in the Underworld, rather the most sought after stuff in black market are from Winchester family, selling it on high high price making profit just being a dealer.

Of course Winchesters not wanted to sit back and see their own products letting other's earn lot more right under their nose. While they can just watch.

Morningstar family is being Queen of underworld of course making most profit from it and were also the first one to be opposed when Winchester tired to entre in the Underworld.

If it was anyone else, Winchester never take this level of disrespect laying down, either pay other party to fuck off or just destroy that family from root directly.

Only issue was other one is not weaker then Winchesters in both money and power.

Money of course come from underworld and power come from the also having same amount of S-Rank ancestor in the family and new S-Rank once in the millennium prodigy in the family along with pretty much equal number of people but unlike Winchester's those awakened not resting in the ancestor halls only coming out when needed rather Morningstar are using them to rule Underworld with iron fist leaving no room for others to slip in.

Hatred is mutual and not without reason though, Before Morningstar family also wanted to entre in the clean business in light,

doing business with other's too.

Because of course there are also limitations in the underworld business, They can sell whatever they wanted even pulling out the heaven and earth treasures that is rare to brought in outside world, the artifact Amara wear to suppress and control her powwer was brought by Madam Winchester from underworld auction too but issue is that they are too depened in the big clients that it's become the symbiotic relationship that not good for the long terms.

They wanted to able to sell stuff in masses to have to constant money flow in a legal route's, so they can't just put all eggs in the one baskets but of course how can Winchester family allow somone like Morningstar's to come in their home ground to business?

Winchester were first to disagree and then put so much pressure on Morningstar's that they in humiliation have to stop trying to create the business in the capital, After all, Winchester's can't do anything to Morningstar's in the underworld as that is their homeground but same is true vice versa, Morningstar also can't do anything in the capital business world because Winchester.

Since then both Winchester and Morningstar were on each other's throat wanting to get their peice of share but both family not wanting to share their part just wanting others.

They both being equal to money and power not helped because that means they can't just use their advantage against each other, doing that both would be weakened, giving other vultures chance to eat up both families.

So there was silent tug war going between two families, Both not bother with eachother on surface being "civil" but both just looking for any sure opportunity to rip each other part and win both clean and underworld businesses in one fell swoop.

'.....*Sigh* Damn it, They would have 3 S-Rank after this Isolde.'

Alex sighed in his heart as he was tugging Alia in the bed quite tightly as if he was putting his frustration on the bedsheets.

How can he not? The youngest S-Rank from Morningstar family is not Isolde but the legitimate daughter of the current head of family, A woman who can on par with his own mother, Madam Winchester.

Untill now there was delicate balance between the two families not because of anything else's it was simply because both were equal in the power, so both not wanted to fight.

But now that there is another S-Rank, It was not sure Morningstar family might become overconfident and dare to declare war on the Winchester family thinking they can able to win now.

'Oh no, I can't allow that to happen, Morningstar's too beneficial to me.'

Alex shook his head helplessly, adjusting the pillow belows Alia's head then just pinched her soft cheek stretching and pulling them making them turn pinkish hue but he not paid any mind he was more worried about how to save those villains jumping to their deaths.

"Mummmm~"

Alia groaned, being used like the fidget toy was....first, she somehow not hate it.

(A/N : Check Isolde Morningstar's picture, Is that good looking enough?
