In the Philix room.
"Mr. Philix... are you serious about not wanting to find Miss Lisa?" said Philix's secretary.
Philix just kept quiet and played with the pen then broke the pen, "shut up! I don't care, besides he was definitely finished off by that Death Raven.."
"But Mr. Philix, several investors and acquaintances of Miss Lisa keep calling and asking about her news.. they want to come now."
An annoyed Philix slammed the table and strangled his secretary, "TELL THEM THAT LISA IS ON HOLIDAY AND DOESN'T WANT TO BE DISTURBED!".
The secretary, who was scared, immediately agreed and left.

Move to Lisa's hiding place.
Lisa learned a fact she hadn't known all along: Felix wasn't her biological child. He was an adopted child, intentionally used by Philix to replace Lisa's miscarried biological child.
So the story begins when Lisa was first pregnant, and Philix, unprepared and knowing about it, started to get a headache because he was too lazy to take care of a child. So he came up with a plan. When Lisa had reached her due date, Philix immediately gave her tea mixed with medicine to abort the baby immediately, then Lisa was in pain and she thought her baby was about to be born.
Lisa fainted in the hospital and Philix colluded with the doctor there by giving him a lot of money and yes... Lisa was operated on as if she were pregnant and the baby was healthy even though the baby was adopted.
Why did Philix choose an adopted baby over a biological baby? Because Philix felt he wouldn't need any more responsibilities later... yeah, that's a strange creature's way of thinking.

Lisa, who read the doctor's confession, couldn't hold back her tears. She really didn't expect this and seemed frustrated.
Julia tried to calm her down but Lisa just got more frustrated and looked like she wanted to commit suicide looking for sharp objects.
"HEY! DON'T DO WEIRD THINGS! STOP!! OH MY GOD I HAVE TO CALL NIC", said Julia.
Julia pressed a button on her computer to signal Nic.
Nic who was hanging out with his girlfriend while waiting for the Phoenix vs Black Horse match Immediately shocked to hear the signal from the system.
"Julia?"
Nic immediately asked for permission to leave for a moment, saying he wanted to buy something.
---
Nic immediately rushed there but he forgot the bolt that turned into Death Raven so when he arrived he only realized it but gave up.
Nic came in and saw Julia trying hard to hold back the pen Lisa was holding to hurt herself.
Nic quickly helped hold her easily and when Nic held her, Lisa couldn't fight back at all, instead she became calmer because Nic activated the God of Psychology skill to improve her mental state.
"Calm down Miss Lisa.. you don't need to hurt yourself.." said Nic.
Lisa was surprised because it was the first time she saw Nic, "Who... are you?".
"I am a light for people like you" .
Lisa thought when she heard the word light... it reminded her of Alina again.
"I am your friend's confidant Mr. Leon... and also his daughter's boyfriend"
Hearing that, Lisa became even more enlightened.. then she asked what Nic wanted with her that she would believe.
[ DING! Mr. Nic, now Lisa is truly 100% loyal to you ]
Nic smiled and immediately told Lisa to divorce Philix and throw him in jail, as proof Nic would take care of it.
"After that... become stronger and make this city better," said Nic while winking.
Lisa was excited again and obeyed Nic's words. Then Nic told Julia to track Charlotte's whereabouts.
And Charlotte is still playing it safe now because she sees a lot of Intel disguised as customers as if they are on tight guard so Charlotte doesn't want to take any risks.
"Hm Julia told Charlotte to stay away from that area first.. it seems like Philix is indeed guarding, I'll let you know again tonight okay?"
Julia nodded and immediately contacted Charlotte, she understood and left the area.
Meanwhile, Lisa finally moved on Nic's orders. She contacted her influential acquaintances to help her and told them to come quietly.

Meanwhile, in the tournament, the Phoenix team won against the Black Horse team. However, the Black Horse team's coach was disappointed.
"Hey! What the hell!? It's obviously cheating! Why did it suddenly pause when our team was ahead in the war!?"
But the game staff responded and told coach Blach horse to calm down and accept defeat because there was still a lower bracket.
Coach black horse held back his emotions and left while angry.
It's clear that this is Philix doing so that his team wins.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix team was celebrating their victory and were on their way to becoming champions, they felt no guilt at all except for the aether.
Aether sat contemplating while drinking a bottle of water.
"Is this really okay?.. I feel bad.. but what can I do.. hah.. I'm scared"
Gilde immediately hit Aether's shoulder gently, "Hey, relax, bro.. we're almost winning! Unity always loses against us, so... just wait for our victory that's right before our eyes."
Aether just smiled stiffly while the others continued their drinking party.

The next match is the lower bracket team Immortal vs Black horse..
Rika and Talia came to support Immortal, making them happy, but reality says otherwise. The Black Horse team really showed their fangs that they are weak horses at the beginning and strong at the end.
They were defeated 3-1. Rika and Talia looked disappointed.
"Seriously.. you guys should realize that the immortal team should have been disbanded.. instead they were created again, as a result you guys are embarrassing the immortal name." Rika said.
Talia added, "Let them play Rika.. be enthusiastic and keep trying from the beginning".
Then they both left Leaving the immortal team who just kept silent because they were slapped by the facts.
Black horse Advances to the semi-finals waiting for the opponent who will fall unity or Phoenix.

At GH Unity, as usual, instead of discussing strategies to fight Phoenix, they all played snakes and ladders.
"AHA! I WIN WAHAHAHA NO ONE CAN BEAT ME! GODDESS LILY!"
Everyone covered their ears because Lily was really noisy.
Rin folded his arms, "Haha.. I'm tired.. this snake and ladder game is different from usual.. usually there are 4 players.. I don't know how many players."
Ruby clapped her hands once and everyone immediately looked over.
"Ukhum, Stop playing for now. We want to discuss the upcoming match against Phoenix."
Then Leona raised her hand, "Are you going to lose again to that team?".
Before Ruby answered Nic Dateng and said, "Of course we will give in again and then slaughter them in the final".
Fanny jumped onto Nic's back, "Haha, you're starting to be as cruel as me."
Jenny thought, "Isn't Nic already cruel?"
Everyone laughed while Alethea smiled, "What a strange yet harmonious relationship."
