　　"You found your ethereal spirit already? Congrats." Cindy congratulated Jaya skeptically. 

　　"Save it, Cindy. I know you doubt whether I have really found my ethereal spirit. You may be thinking that I am lying to gain attention." Jaya didn't accept Cindy's well wishes instead retorted to her with a smug look. 

　　"Well, you're right. I wouldn't put it past you. After all, I have seen you do a lot of stupider stuff to gain attention." Hearing Jaya, speak so direct, Cindy did not bother with her polite act but directly spoke her mind. 

　　"Well, get ready to be proved wrong." With a smug expression, Jaya summoned a smug-looking miniature Jaya in her eyes. The resemblance between both the Jayas was uncanny. 

　　"Whoa, good for you. How far have you come in soul energy refining?" Unable to stand the smug Jaya, Cindy decided to bring her a notch down. She brought up soul energy refining because she knew that Jaya barely had patients to practice her active soul control so it wouldn't take a genius to guess that Jaya would not spend hours trying to refine soul energy. 

　　"Haha, jokes on you. If the boss supplies me with more silver milk pills, I will be able to get started with ego gem forging by the end of the next month." Jaya laughed aloud, this was the first time she was able to beat Cindy in an argument. She felt that her hard work and sacrifice these past few days were worth it. Jaya knew that this result would not have been possible if not for the boss's silver milk pills. Therefore turning to her boss she said, "Thank you, boss. If not for your pills I could not have achieved this result. Can I be shameless and ask for more silver milk pills?" 

　　"..." Diana shook her head with a satisfied smile. She couldn't be prouder of her little sister, not because she was able to shut Cindy's mouth but because she had finally learned to be lowkey. Diana was happy because her sister hadn't even reported to her about her achievements in ego gem forging. The once little brat who would run to report her about everything trying seek praise every little thing had finally matured. Diana couldn't help but feel a little lost seeing the baby she adopted as her sister had grown up so fast. But Diana was willing to look past that as long as she knew she had raised a capable and independent adult. 

　　"You used weeks' worth of pills in just three days? You do know that they are not candy and there are serious side effects if you take more than what your body can tolerate." I had given them enough soul pills to last weeks yet Jaya ate them all in three days, was this stupid girl not afraid of death. 

　　"Really? But I didn't feel any side effects, instead, the more I ate those pills the easier the soul energy refining became," replied Jaya casually.

　　"..." I checked Jaya using my soul pupils to find whether she was lying or not, she was not. Her soul energy had already neared the required purity for forging an Ego gem. I don't understand, the Silver milk pills seemed to work more efficiently on Jaya compared to the rest of us. There had to be a reason for this. Come to think of it Silver milk power was accidentally created while I tried to create the superhuman serum to counter the Viltronian who had colonized the earth. Does that mean trying to kill the Viltronian I created a product that would help his race alleviate their strength? Jaya was the only pure breed Viltronian, the pills are showcasing enhanced effects only on her. My calamity daughter gem and I did not feel any such advantages after consuming silver milk power which proved that its enhanced effects only showed in pure breed Viltronians. Damn it all. 

　　Calming myself, I turned to Diana and said, "Tell me everything you know about the D-rank sliver beach dungeon and Its relation with Jaya." 

　　"Boss, what do you mean?" Diana acted confused. 

　　"..." Seeing that Diana was not willing to answer I checked Clown Mask's memories to verify Jaya's origin. Going through the clown mask's memories, I was shocked and couldn't help but cuss, "Fuck!" 

　　"..." I choose to forgive Diana for not answering my question considering this matter was related to Jaya's original parents and she had signed a soul contract regarding it. The matter was about how the Circle and Diana together massacred Jaya's entire tribe.

　　Exploring Jaya's origin in Clown mask's memories I found a lot more juicer stuff about the current world, it was more chilling than the fact that Diana participated in the massacre of Jaya's tribe. Going through this information my entire view of this world had changed just like that. For a moment my entire body went cold. My thought process had paused and my complexion visibly paled. 

　　"Boss, are you alright you look like you have seen a ghost," Cindy asked seeing my complexion turn pale all of sudden. 

　　"Diana, we need to talk later." Ignoring Cindy, I spoke staring straight into Diana's eyes. I wanted to discuss with Diana what I had just found out about this world. Maybe she wasn't the right candidate to talk about this stuff, after all, she has sworn to secrecy using a soul contract. But before going to discuss with Anna about this I wanted to confirm if I would be safe letting Anna know that I know the truth about this world, and how the first human came into existence in this world. Considering the implication of this matter I can understand why the government has kept all the traces of this matter hidden from the general populous reach. And why those that know the truth are sworn to protect it and take this secret to their grave. I never expected to land on a world-class secret trying to explore Jaya's origin. I don't know how Jaya will react if she knows her real origin. It was not my place to tell her but Diana's unfortunately she was restricted by the soul contract.
