[Author: Instead of saying 10 times stronger than an ordinary man, I will simplify it and leave it as 10 times stronger.]

Luan waited a few hours, until almost everyone was asleep.

Pulling out the rug, he saw the safe that Valter's concubine had been trying to open before.

'Although it looks simple, there is an alarm formation that will go off if the lock is forced to open.' Placing his hand on top of the safe, Luan could feel the Qi of the formation that protected the safe.

Luan's thoughts ran wild. He formulated many ideas and ways to break the formation without triggering the protection alarm.

'Poison?'

When it finally managed to open, in addition to some valuables, what immediately caught Luan's attention was a 2-liter glass with a purple substance with suspicious green contents.

Using a simple test with his Qi, Luan confirmed that it was poison. Although he didn't know the exact purpose of the poison, either way it could be useful, so he kept it in the storage ring.

Among the things of value there were many objects of antiquity that would be worth a fortune; they were relics that over time would be worth more and more money. Although there was no shortage of money available to him, Luan also took all of them.

By his calculations, just those objects alone were around 1 billion dollars. Equivalent to 5 billion Brazilian reais.

Other than that, there were some old books, and what caught his attention the most was one titled "Emperor of the Lightning." In contrast, it was a book that helped anyone with an affinity for lightning to cultivate and become stronger with lightning.

There were also books with family names as "Secret Art of Clan Smith", another as "Mantra Monge".

Luan knew that the Becker Clan was an expert in mind manipulation and disguise. They cultivated a technique that was suitable for that: "Whisper of the Demon Fox". It was a technique that specialized in deceiving and manipulating the mind. As the basis for the technique, a legendary fox was used that had deceived many people and had enough conquests to become legend and myth.

The Becker Clan technique manual was also in the safe. Luan also did not spare anything and kept it all. Although he did not intend to use most of it, since his techniques were better, he could still select some of his followers to use them.

'Okay, that's all...' Closing the safe, Luan covered the rug.

Luan was more hidden than a shadow. He left the room and walked around the palace silently.

Luan's next target was the elder who had his own courtyard. It was very close to the palace and also one of the more valuable things that Luan had detected.

In Germany it was almost 1 in the morning, but in Santa Catarina, Brazil it was almost 6 am. Between the two it was a difference of 5 hours.

At that moment, Ingrid was still awake. She rolled over in bed all night. Despite knowing that she didn't have to worry about Luan since he was so strong and smart, she couldn't help it and spent the whole night thinking about him and worried that something wrong had happened.

Uncapping herself, sitting on the bed, Ingrid stretched. Looking at the current time, she yawned and walked to Luan's private bathroom.

While Luan was gone she had still chosen to sleep in his room.

Since it was just her in the room, she didn't want to bring clothes to the bathroom, and she knew there were towels in the bathroom closet.

After brushing her teeth and showering, Ingrid came out of the bathroom wrapped in a white towel.

Opening the wardrobe door, she picked up a set of formal wear, and also put on a pair of five-inch high-heeled brown heels.

Finishing dressing, she did not wear makeup, since her face was perfect not only because she was young but also because she had cultivated all this time. Now, even without makeup, she was beautiful, synonymous with perfection in person.

Despite feeling beautiful, Ingrid sighed. Aside from Luan, she didn't care much about what others thought about her appearance. She just wanted to please herself and him. The rest, they were just the rest...

The sound of the high heels echoed the moment Ingrid left the room. She went down the stairs and went to the living room.

Seeing that her mother and mother-in-law were there serving the table with food, she said with a friendly smile, "Mother, mother-in-law, good morning."

"Good morning, Ingrid," Maira smiled in response.

"Good morning, Ingrid. Come, sit down. The coffee is warm, and there is also bread that has just arrived from the bakery," Amanda said with a smile.

"Catharina and Cristina, are they asleep?" Ingrid asked.

"Already awake. However, they have been training from an early hour. They seem determined to get stronger and to be able to help exterminate the monsters that are coming out of the dimensional cracks," Maira said with a smile helplessly.

It didn't take long before Ingrid and Maira finished eating.

"You two can go. I have heated up breakfast for Cristina and Catharina for when they finish training," Amanda said as she smiled.

"Okay, thanks, Amanda." Maira wiped her mouth with a napkin and went up the stairs. Ingrid did the same.

Minutes later, the two returned after brushing their teeth.

In front of the house a white limo was waiting for them.

After getting into the limo, Maira opened a file folder and started organizing what she would have to do today. Ingrid, beside her, was helping.

"Luan did a great job." Maira praised with a smile. She already knew that he was doing well in the company as CEO, and seeing the results personally, she couldn't help feeling proud of him.

"Yes he is." Ingrid smiled. The smile on her face was warm. Even the tips of her eyebrows shone with happiness at the thought of Luan.

"The meeting is over. As for the proposals related to the game, Online Survival, we'll wait for Luan to come back from his business trip." Getting up, Maira looked at everyone inside the meeting room, and left shortly thereafter.

Ingrid, who was with her, left too.

When Ingrid and Maira returned to the Dimas Mansion, it was already late; the time was 21:10.

Amanda made dinner. It was stewed chicken, rice, chips, and salad.

After dinner, Ingrid and Maira went up to the second floor and changed clothes. Wearing training clothes, the two went to the training room.

Cristina, Catharina, and Amanda came soon after. Each of them had a significant increase in their powers.

Currently, Catharina was 7 times stronger with Qi and 16 times stronger with her body. Cristina was a little better, being 10 times stronger with Qi and 17 times stronger with her body. Maira was almost the same as Cristina, being 10 times stronger with Qi. Now she was able to create a missile easily and was 15 times stronger with her body. She dedicated herself to practicing Qi a little more. Because of that, she was a little behind the two in this matter.

Amanda also trained every day, and although not as strong as they were, she was now 11 times stronger with her body. Her daughter Ingrid was 49 times stronger with Qi and 28 times stronger with Qi. Unfortunately, she couldn't get enough Qi to break the next barrier and make it to Second Order with Qi. But she was not in too much of a hurry. After all, Luan promised her that he would make a pill if necessary that would help her to break the Second Order barrier.

Late at dawn, on April 2, 2010, on a Friday, Ingrid was unable to sleep a wink. She missed Luan very much, even though she was only 1 day away from seeing him, she rolled over in bed without being able to sleep.

This time Ingrid was not in Luan's room; she was in the same room as her mother.

Amanda saw that her daughter was still awake, and smiled as she watched her roll over in bed. Getting up, she went over to the bed that Ingrid was lying on and said, "Do you want your mother to tell you a story so you can sleep?"

"Mom!" Ingrid puffed out her cheeks in a cute way and huffed, "I'm not a child; you don't have to tell me a story to sleep."

"Oh, so you want to talk about Luan instead?" Amanda teased.

"... What about?" Ingrid took the bait.

"Like what you like about him." Amanda sat on the bed.

"Everything!" Ingrid said with a shy smile, "I mean, I don't dislike anything about him, and everything about him captivates me... Basically, I like everything about him: his smile, his indifferent way with other people, and how he treats me and our family differently, how careful he is with me, etc..."

"Even how he is in bed?" Amanda teased again.

"Mom!" Ingrid turned red pepper and threw her pillow in Amanda's face.

"Hehe. There is no need to be ashamed. I am your mother; you can tell me." Amanda did not give up when holding the pillow that was thrown at her.

"Mm... Well, it's actually really good..." Ingrid's ears and neck went as red as her face. It was very shameful to talk about this with her mother.

"Ara, ara~ this is good." Amanda laughed and rubbed Ingrid's hair.

The mother and daughter continued talking for more than two hours until Ingrid yawned and amazingly managed to sleep.

In the dream, she saw Luan returning. She ran towards him and received him with a wet and lasting kiss. However, when she was about to be satisfied, she woke up.

Sighing with regret, Ingrid was surprised to be wet... She got up and went to take a shower. When she came back from the bathroom, she noticed it was almost six in the morning.
