C344 You Have Alot Of Explanation To Do

Alicia called the ten coaches over and asked, “Have you all decided how we can organize the training using the resources we currently have?” Angus the Hammer smiled. “Madam, yes. I've been thinking about it. We currently have thirty-five regular employees, so I can divide them accordingly. But before we begin, there's one thing I need to ask. You are pregnant, and your friend is pregnant as well. How are we going to manage your training?”

Alicia smiled. “Sarah and I will give birth in a month or two. As soon as we're recovered, we'll join the training. For now, the four of them will start immediately.” Angus the hammer nodded. “Then there's no problem.” He looked at the other coaches before continuing. “We'll divide the coaches into four groups.” He pointed toward the first group. “Fighting and boxing will be handled by Conner the Beast, William the Wolf, and Callum the Rider.” He then pointed toward the next group. “Blade fighting and martial arts will be handled by Fraser the Reaper and Lachlan the Ghost.”

He continued. “Shooting will be handled by Arthur the Bulldog, Oliver the Viper, and myself.” Finally, he looked toward Lewis and Roy. “And sniper training will be handled by Lewis the Sniper and Roy the Hunter.” Angus the Hammer paused and looked at all of us. “My team knows all the different disciplines. From time to time, they may switch groups to make sure everyone receives proper training and understands what they're being taught.” We all nodded.

Alicia then asked, “So where will you be staying? Should I arrange a hotel for all of you?” Oliver the Viper shook his head. “Madam, before we decide that, we need to know your schedule. What time will training begin, and how long will it last?” Alicia thought for a moment. “It will be in the afternoon. Starting today, Lucia Goods will operate until 3:30 p.m. Employees who aren't participating in training will finish their shifts and leave.” She paused. “The others will begin training at 4 p.m. and continue until 7 p.m. However, you must remember that these employees have families and other responsibilities. Some may attend every session, while others may occasionally have important matters to attend to and need to leave early.”

The coaches nodded. Angus the Hammer smiled. “If training starts at four in the afternoon, we'll stay at the base and drive here every day. Don't worry, Madam. We won't be late.” Alicia nodded. “Good.” The coaches soon left the training hall. The moment they were gone, Chris shook his head. “Alicia, you have a lot of explaining to do.” Laura immediately added, “Who exactly are those people?” Samantha pointed toward Alicia's bag. “And what's that golden thing you keep carrying around?” Sarah smiled. “And why do they keep calling you ‘Madam’?”

I laughed. “My wife is far more capable than you all think.” Alicia paused for a moment. “Guys, what I'm about to tell you is very important. I need all of you to keep it a secret.” Everyone became serious. “Laura, don't tell Bright. Chris, please don't tell Aunt Valeria. And Sarah and Samantha, don't share this with anyone, not even your parents.” They all nodded. Alicia slowly opened her bag and took out Gold and Diamond. “This came from my mother's family. My grandfather is part of the Gupta family. They live far outside the city.”

She held up the dagger. “This is something my mother's ancestors gave me. But it's not as simple as it looks.” Everyone stared at the dagger. “Because I was able to retrieve Gold and Diamond, I was acknowledged by my grandfather's ancestors as the next leader of his family branch.” Chris froze. “You mean you have all these powerful people under your command?” Alicia nodded. “The ten coaches you just met are only one-third of the people who could eventually come under my command.”

Everyone became even more surprised. “But my grandfather is old, and there are challenges within the family. His family branch has been without a direct heir for years, so many people have been waiting for their chance to gain control of his wealth and influence.” She looked down at the dagger. “That changed when I was acknowledged by the ancestors.” Chris stared at her. “Then why do you need us when you have so many people under your command?”

Alicia smiled. “They may be under my command, but who knows what the future will bring? Besides, the war against the Harris family is my responsibility. If I'm going to lead these people, I need to understand what it means to fight alongside them.” She looked around at everyone. “And there's another reason. What happens when the Harris family discovers that I'm becoming stronger and realizes they can't easily reach me?” Laura immediately understood. “They'll come after us.” Alicia nodded. “Exactly. If they can't reach me, they'll target the people closest to me.”

Laura looked worried. “But we're not as strong as those people. Can't you just take your army and attack the Harris family?” I shook my head. “The problem is that the Harris family isn't here in the city. They've disappeared, and we don't know where they're hiding. We don't know where to strike, and we don't know when they'll strike us.” Samantha smiled confidently. “Well, I'm ready. I'll train and fight alongside you.” Sarah laughed. “And I can't wait to give birth so I can join you all.” Alicia laughed. “Me too.”

Soon, it was time to leave. We walked downstairs together, where Faith was waiting. The moment she saw us, she asked, “Director, aren't we training today?” Alicia smiled. “No, Faith. I'll make the official announcement about the training schedule tomorrow.” Faith looked disappointed. “But I was prepared to start today.” We all laughed. Alicia smiled. “If you want, you can go and start practicing on your own.” Faith's expression immediately brightened. “Then I'll go practice my punches using the punching bags.” She turned around and headed back upstairs.

We continued toward the parking area. Just before we reached our cars, Samantha suddenly stopped. “I'm not tired at all. Sarah, you go ahead. I'm going back inside to practice with Faith.” We all stared at her. “What?” Samantha didn't answer. She simply turned around and walked back into the building. We laughed before continuing toward our cars. The training had officially begun, and it seemed that some of them were already taking it far more seriously than we had expected.
