Episode 20

"Meaning, sir? Is it true that the pair of twins are indeed your biological children, sir?" exclaimed Levi, who seemed extremely surprised just from making the guess.

"Yes, they are my own flesh and blood. I am now a father," Rayden said, smiling proudly.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Levi yelled, truly shocked to find his guess was spot on. He found it even harder to believe now, seeing his boss smile joyfully in the presence of his subordinates.

Levi's mind whirred with questions, wondering where the cold, arrogant, and exceedingly cruel Rayden Cano Xavier had gone.

The man who never cracked a smile within the BlackSky clan, even when everyone around was laughing at something funny, was now smiling without any apparent reason.

"Will, he really is our boss, right? You haven't brought the wrong person, have you?" Levi asked, voicing the thoughts in his head to Will.

Will just smiled at Levi's confusion and at their men who were hearing the news for the first time, even considering their master's dramatic change in behavior.

"Hey, what do you mean by that, huh?" Rayden's expression turned terrifying in a split second.

"Uh, well... we were just confused because your demeanor changed so suddenly, sir. My heart nearly stopped from shock," Levi replied, still puzzled.

"Let it go, I'll forgive you this once. Because I have a new task for you!" Rayden said, his expression still cool.

"What new task, sir? Are you going to command us to attack the Tiger Dark clan?" asked Levi, excited at the prospect of a new task. Especially if his guess was correct again.

"It's time for a massive slaughter! Hehehehe...," that was what Levi thought at the moment.

"I want you to be the personal bodyguard for my children, Luca and Lucia!" Rayden commanded, which was far from Levi's expectations.

"WHAT? YOU WANT ME to guard those two kids? I refuse," Levi blurted out, rejecting the idea outright.

"Those 'kids' you're talking about are my own children. And you're now refusing my orders, is that it, Zaen Levi!" said Rayden, his killer gaze activated.

"Have you grown tired of living? Or do you wish to end up like him?"

Rayden's threat was clearly serious, he wasn't playing around or joking as he pointed to the man from before. Will struggled to hold back his laughter, curious to see how Levi would react.

"No, sir! I'm just afraid. If I become a bodyguard, then there'll be no one to run the clan in place of you or Will."

Levi quickly made an excuse to save his own skin.

"Don't worry about that. Will and I will handle it! Start from tomorrow, Will will fill you in on everything," Rayden ordered before starting to walk out of the basement.

"Yes, sir," Levi responded, careful not to speak out of turn again.

"And all of you, tighten security on our territory's borders. Kill anyone who dares to cause trouble there! Do you understand?"

Now Rayden was giving orders to Levi's men. They were all standing in front of the cars, ready to see their boss off.

"Understood, Boss!" they responded in unison, bowing to Rayden as a sign they had received his orders.

"Will, let's go now!"

This order was for Will.

"Yes, sir. Please enter the car," Will responded, quickly opening the car door to usher his boss in.

"Sir, what about that man?" Levi inquired, seeking further instruction regarding their captive.

"Handle it as usual," Rayden replied tersely.

"Yes, sir!" Levi immediately understood the order.

With no one daring to stop him, Rayden got into his car. Will followed suit and then promptly sped off.

"Sir, are we heading to the office now?" Will asked, inquiring about their next destination.

"No, let's go to where the twins and my future wife are," Rayden replied, unintentionally revealing that Zhia was his betrothed.

"You mean Miss Grace?" Will clarified, aware that his master's fiancee was Grace Adenthe.

"Why her?" Rayden asked, annoyed.

"But isn't Miss Grace your current fiancee? Didn't you just mention going to the twins and your future wife, sir?" Will queried again, reminding Rayden of another problem - his engagement to Grace.

"Akkhhh, right you are! I forgot about her," Rayden admitted, rubbing his head, which was throbbing with problems.

"To the twins' place, now. And schedule a meeting with your parents!" Rayden ordered next.

"Yes, sir," Will acquiesced while glancing back.

"Goodness, so many issues to deal with. Company problems, clan issues, and even the engagement with Grace! Especially issues with Zhia and the twins, I need to establish their status quickly to ensure they stay by my side forever," Rayden thought, overwhelmed with considerations.
