Meanwhile, at Dylan's house, which was undergoing renovations, "Brugh," "Crash," two construction workers inside the house were immediately startled to see Dylan's room, which they hadn't touched, suddenly collapse, completely leveling it to the foundation.

"Huh... damn it... bad news... why did that room collapse? We didn't touch it, did we?" said one of the construction workers wearing a green safety vest.

"The boss is gonna be pissed at us," added the other construction worker, who was wearing glasses.

"What the hell do we do now?" said the worker in the green vest.

"Check outside. Maybe something destroyed it from the outside," replied the worker with glasses.

Both of them immediately went outside, then ran toward the window of the adjacent room next to the collapsed one. Both were utterly shocked because the room looked like it wasn't even there, and a massive, deep hole gaped open where the floor should have been.

"Geez, that hole is super deep... our workload just got way worse," said the worker in the green vest, taking off his helmet.

"I... I'm going to report this first. Maybe the project manager will want to add more people to close this hole," replied the worker with glasses.

The worker with glasses immediately made the call, and several other workers began to gather to look at the gaping hole in what used to be Dylan's room, which was now level with the foundation. In fact, some workers were already starting to measure the depth of the hole in front of them and discuss how to fill it.

A few hours later, at Amy's grandfather's house, Dylan led Ellie, Amy, Maya, Lena, Aaron, Clara, Fiona, and Iris to the backyard storage shed and inside. He immediately went into the room at the far end with the others.

"Um... what are we doing here? This is the storage shed, right?" Amy asked.

"That's right. Everyone in the middle, please," Dylan answered, his hand ready to press a button.

Dylan pressed the button. "Whoaaah," Ellie, Amy, Maya, and Lena immediately grabbed Fiona and Iris, then clung to each other as the floor began to descend. Aaron and Clara also immediately huddled together and sat down on the floor. Finally, they were all sitting on the floor, watching the ground they were standing on drop lower and lower.

"H-hey, where are we going?" Maya asked.

"You'll see," Dylan answered, standing casually.

"Big brother... this... it's not dangerous, is it?" Aaron asked.

"No, no... take it easy," Dylan replied easily.

"So the entire floor is an elevator? That means there's a room down there?" Ellie asked.

"Yep, that's right. Amy's grandfather's house was hiding a secret like this," Dylan answered.

"Oh... I never knew about something like this... when I was little, I used to see some guys go into this shed and not come out for a long time... I figured they were sleeping or something, but when I went inside once, they weren't there, which is why I was scared of this shed," Amy said.

"No need to be scared now. Just wait and see," Dylan said.

"But our grandfathers kept so many secrets, huh... maybe there's one at Maya's house, too. Mine definitely did. Ellie's house did too... the room that turned into a 'temple' for Dylan, hehe," Lena said.

"Hush... don't talk about that here," Ellie replied.

"Oops... my bad," Lena replied.

"Big brother, there are lights down there, right?" Fiona asked casually.

"Of course... you're not scared?" Dylan asked.

"Nope... it's awesome, right, Iris?" Fiona asked, turning to look at Iris.

"Yeah, cool... like in a movie," Iris answered.

"Good. Don't worry, it's bright and huge down there. You guys can play below," Dylan said, stroking the heads of his twin sisters.

"Don't tell me we can actually live down there too," Maya replied.

"Now you're talking. That's why I wanted to show you guys," Dylan replied.

The floor continued its slow descent until finally "Jgleg," "Crsss," it stopped smoothly. Then they saw the iron door in front of them. Dylan opened it and stepped inside, holding Fiona and Iris's hands. Maya, Ellie, Lena, Amy, Aaron, and Clara exchanged glances, but in the end, they also stepped through the door to see what lay beyond.

"Whoaaah,"

As they walked in, Maya, Ellie, Lena, Amy, Aaron, and Clara's eyes widened dramatically, and their mouths dropped open. They were stunned and stood frozen, looking at the vast, underground bunker room that looked vintage but quite luxurious for an underground space.

"Is this... a military bunker for sheltering from a nuclear attack?" Aaron asked.

"S-seems like it... but why does it look like a hotel lobby?" Clara added.

"Wow... there's something like this under my grandfather's house? I had no idea," Amy added.

"Unbelievable... this bunker... it's really comfortable," Ellie added, astonished.

"Yeah... I can't believe it, but it's right in front of my eyes," Lena said.

"There's a caged weapons room, and that... a shooting range... and a gym? Wow... how big is this bunker?" Maya asked.

"Hey... why are you guys just standing there?" Dylan shouted. He was already sitting comfortably on a sofa, while Fiona and Iris were busy wandering around.

They began to explore the bunker, opening room after room. The barracks, which had been just a simple hall with many beds, were now eight bedrooms, each complete with a bathroom. The central room, which had only contained a long table and chairs for meetings, now had sofas, a gaming console, a large TV, and more. The gym, which had only basic exercise equipment, was now fully equipped with a sturdy boxing ring.

The shooting range, which was originally just one stall, now had several stalls with adjustable targets and various designs. The large bathroom, which initially only had a jacuzzi and a bathtub big enough for five people, was now as spacious as a pool, with three jacuzzis and a sauna room. It was also fully equipped with showers in three closed stalls. In the adjacent room, there was a dedicated space for several toilet stalls and a long sink with a mirror above it.

The kitchen, which originally only had one cooking station, now had three cooking stations, like the kitchen of a high-class, luxury restaurant. After walking around, they all stood in front of the only closed door. Ellie turned to look at Dylan on the sofa.

"What room is this?" Ellie asked.

"Just open it. That's my grandfather's room," Dylan answered.

Ellie opened the room. They walked inside. "Blaar," the lights in the room came on, and "Wow," Ellie, Maya, Lena, and Amy were instantly mesmerized by Dylan's "treasure room." The entire basement from Dylan's old house had been relocated to become one of the rooms inside the bunker. During the transfer process, KATS also repaired the bunker and added furniture, completely transforming it into what it was now.

Ellie, Maya, Lena, and Amy went inside, then began looking at the jewelry, antique paintings, bags full of old money, rare artifacts they had never seen before, and more. When they walked to the end of the room, they saw a black and white photo of Dylan's grandfather, who looked to be in his late 20s, with a cheerful and proud expression alongside six beautiful girls lined up with him.

"Is that Dylan's grandfather... he looks so young," Ellie said.

"Yeah, true. His face kind of resembles Dylan," Maya added.

"Dylan's grandfather was cool, huh? And who are those girls?" Lena asked.

[They are his wives.]

"Huh... KATS?" Lena asked.

[That is correct. It's me. Don't worry, Dylan cannot hear.]

"So... those girls are Dylan's grandfather's wives... how many wives did Dylan's grandfather actually have?" Ellie asked.

"There are six girls... so six wives?" Amy asked.

[Exactly.]

"Hah," Ellie, Lena, Maya, and Amy muttered in their heads.

The four of them immediately started thinking hard and glanced at each other, then quickly rushed to the door and closed it.

"We have to convince Dylan that four is enough... he absolutely cannot add any more wives," Ellie said.

"Right. I don't want anyone else joining this family," Maya added.

"Turns out Dylan's grandfather was a wild one, huh... let's hope it doesn't rub off on Dylan," Lena said.

"We have to do something. If this is the case, just being pregnant isn't enough," Amy said.

"True. Let's discuss," Ellie replied.

Finally, they began a serious discussion, occasionally looking at the black and white photo displayed on the wall. Meanwhile, Dylan, sitting on the sofa in the main room with Fiona, Iris, Aaron, and Clara, looked flushed, covering his face with both hands.

"What's wrong, Big Brother? Why is your face suddenly so red?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah, you were fine just a minute ago," Clara added.

"Are you sick, Big Brother?" Fiona and Iris asked together.

"I... I'm fine," Dylan replied, still covering his face.

[As you commanded, I accompanied them inside.]

"Grr... but you didn't have to let me eavesdrop! Now I'm hearing their conversation and I'm totally caught off guard... what the hell is wrong with you, you bastard," Dylan said.
