After the mission, they quietly went back to their hidden base on the city. The eyes of the public were obscured by a small flower shop, owned by Belvyane. Yet it was only a small base though, as their main headquaters was a mansion on a rich neighbourhood.

One by one took off their mask and gently placed them on their own respective cases. Estella, the one that held the black suitcase, placed it on a table. Each one of them took a seat, while George took another 5 suitcases near them.

"I've checked the cocaine. We have about 5kg in here. No wonder it felt kinda heavy." Estella said as she sat on her chair. "Well, these 5 suitcases are about 5kg too, so we have about 30kg in total." George replied.

"So the value of these stuff is... approximately 3.6 millions. If I wasn't mistaken"

"We should sell it. We could get a good price for it if we find the right buyer, or even higher than that." Belvyane said while scrolling through her phone. "I mean, it's not a bad idea, right?" She asked back. Estella only nodded her head in response. "Let's call our previous buyer and more cha-ching" Belvyane giggled as she made the money sound. "That's what I'm saying!"

On the other hand, Isaac and George were busy counting the packets of the drugs, having their own conversation.

"Looks like we're trending again~" Belvyane said while grinning to them and continued, "Breaking news. A middle-aged man who was being hunted by the police was found dead in XXX Hotel today." She passed her phone to them as she read the head topic of the article she just found.

"Wow, they found him later than I expected" Isaac sarcastically said

"Police nowadays are slow and dumb. Slower than sloth. I don't know if they are worth to trust anyways." He said again before passing back Belvyane's phone to her. "Police are just a bunch of jerks." George suddenly said and the others only nodded as they knew George always hated police.

"I'm going upstairs. It's been a while since I check on my flowers and talk to Lea" Belvyane stood and went back upstairs to her shop. "Ah, and both of you, go buy us dinner. I'm starving to death!" Estella smiled to both of the boys as George and Isaac exchanged a glance before nodding in agreement.

"Sure, Cinderella. Any cravings?" George said as he stood up from his seat. "Whatever edible. And make it quick" she chuckled and replied with grin on her face, getting eager for the food. Estella smiled to both of the boys and handed them some cash. "Get something good" knowing damn well Isaac and George could find the best food in the city in a minute.

Estella rested on her chair, secretly thinking about their next moves. Although Black Venom was the most cunning gang of the history, she still had to be extra careful of her plan. She then sighed and took a quick nap to ease her mind.

Meanwhile, Belvyane finally stepped into her flower shop, eager to check on her beloved plants. As she entered the cozy space filled with the fragrance of fresh blooms, a sense of tranquility washed over her. Lea, her loyal assistant, greeted her with a warm smile.

Back to their base, the two boys returned with dinner. Four of them gathered again, breaking the silence with the clatter of food containers. Worries on their mind disappeared as their conversation flowed freely. In that moment, surrounded by good food and good company, Estella couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the unconventional family they had formed. Despite the risks and uncertainties of their lifestyle, they had each other, and that was enough to make even the darkest of nights feel a little brighter. They were glad that they had each other.

"Another successful mission, thanks to all of you," Estella said, raising her glass in a toast. "To us, and to many more victories in the future."

"Cheers!"
