Adam's family wasn't as simple as it seemed to the outside world. The Levinsons were one of the aristocratic families of Germany. They didn't just have theirs roots embedded in the business world, but deep in the underworld as well.
They held the throne of the most feared criminal organization of Europe, The Brigade of Sin. The throne was passed down to the first born of the main family, whether it was a boy or a girl. Generation after generation, it continued to be passed down before it was handed over to Adam's father.
The organization dealt in arms and ammunitions mainly. A major share of which were bought by the government. And like that, the organization had the government's approval and protection within the main countries of Europe. They carried out their work without any disruption from other external factors. Other organizations weren't strong enough to interfere in their business, so they found it better to stay out of their path.
Other than arms and ammunitions, they also dealt in a number of latest technologies. Not only did they deal with it, but were also involved in the advancement of existing ones. Most of their technological advancements weren't for sale, but for their use only.
Beside that, one-third of the diamonds which were in the European market, were from the organization's mines, more specifically, they belonged to the Levinson's legally.
In short, it wasn't a simple organization with only assassins or mercenaries and had their roots spread far and wide.
When Adam's father, Paul Levinson took over the throne, he made some changes to the basic rules and regulations. Adam's grandfather was against those changes but he didn't have the right to stop his son anymore, as he held the reins in hands then.
Blake's father was Paul's right hand man, for it has been like that for decades. The first born son from the Collins was to serve as the right hand man of a Levinson. Moreover, they were close childhood friends just like Adam and Blake.
When Adam's father fell in love with Adam's mother, Carolyn, he stepped down from the throne because he didn't want to endanger her life. For someone like him, it was common for enemies to get a hold of the person they held most dear to themselves, and he didn't want that happening.
Since he was an only son, Blake's father had to step in to look over the organization until Paul's first born become of age.
When Adam was born, he used to sneak him out of his home and bring him to the base every weekend. Paul was against it at first, but he gave up later on. He might have realized that Adam needed the exposure in case he would ever return to that life in the future. So, he let his friend taught Adam the same fighting skills which he had grown up learning.
Adam used to spend every weekend at the so called abandoned mansion which was their main base. He only stopped doing it when his father died and he had to take over the business empire.
He hadn't stepped in here after he took over the business, not until now.

"I wish dad was here to see this day." Adam spoke up.
"He might have beaten you black and blue." Blake joked, trying to turn the atmosphere light.
"He definitely would have." Adam replied with a faint smile resting on his lips. "He left this life to protect the love of his life. I am taking up the title of the King of the Underworld to protect mine. Life sure plays with you sometimes."
"You will always have me dude." Blake added, patting his shoulder.
"I know that." Adam nodded. "How's Lilly doing by the way?"
"She's doing better. She'll be here in a while. She was training some new recruits downstairs." Blake replied.
"Does she remember anything about her past life?" Adam asked him as he brows furrowed.
"She still doesn't recall a single thing from her life. And she has refused to go on anymore therapy sessions since it isn't helping her." Blake rolled his eyes back. "She calls them a waste of her precious time."
"Sounds like her." Adam chuckled.
"What sounds like who?" A girly voice interrupted the duo.
"Nothing, we were just talking about Stella." Blake immediately replied, throwing a look towards Adam.
"He was talking about how you have put down your foot about your therapy sessions." Adam didn't pay any attention to Blake and spoke up.
"How could you sell me this easily man?" Blake began to whine.
"Who told you to involve my girl in your lie. You could have said anything and I would have helped you with it. But you decide to bring my girl into conversation when she's not even here, this is what you get in return." Adam shrugged and turned his attention back to Lillian.
"Why did you say no to the therapies?" He asked her, giving her a stern look.
"They don't help me at all anyways. Moreover, my head hurts like hell after every session." She replied taking a seat across them.
"I like my life here, Big Boss. I don't want to remember my past anymore. I am happy with Blake." She pouted like a child.
"As long as you are happy." Adam heaved out a sigh.
"Why did you ask Lillian not to train Stella anymore?" Blake interrupted them. "You don't want her to be trained anymore."
"I do. I just have someone else in mind to fill in the roll." Adam replied with a fond smile.
"You are evil." Lillian commented as if understanding his thoughts.
"What's evil in that? She gets to train daily that way. And there's no guarantee that you will be free on every weekend either." Adam raised an eyebrow at her.
"Does she know?" Lillian asked him.
"She doesn't for now. But she will, tomorrow morning." Adam replied as his lips crept up in a sinister smile.
"What are you guys talking about?" Blake looked at the two in confusion.
"Nothing, slowpoke." Lillian replied to him, making Adam laugh.
