"I suspect, you did know enough about your family," it was Shun who began the conversation.

"Yes. But still, I want to hear what you knew about Ca.s.sie." He is even serious this time. He desired to know more. He doesn't want to make a sudden decision now that he will regret later.

"Alright, I want you to listen very carefully... and whatever you will hear, nothing should come out or else, before that to happen, someone's dead body must float somewhere else."

Levi shook his head. What's wrong with this guy? Why he doesn't stop on threatening him? Is this how he was afraid to lose Ca.s.sie? How big this truth that he doesn't want Ca.s.sie to know?

"Maybe we should start when my parents died and I was adopted? Let's begin after that… but someone will narrate on behalf of me."

"Alright, I'll be okay with it." Levi agreed on. He doesn't care anymore as long as he could get the information he needs...

"This is Director Rudolf Lao, my IT specialist. He who do the updates on ATHENA'S system and the rest of the Crow Corporation Techs."

Levi a bit surprised on his boldness then he let out a nervous laugh. "Ah, am curious. What kind of virus you planted to our system?"

"Don't worry, Master Montfort. The system I installed to your security could easily terminate the virus we sent. Your IT just have to figure out, if they can't do instantly, then it's for you to hire a new and better one."

"I see. Then, how about you teach me instead?"

Rudolf is a bit surprised. "Ahem. Well, you'll be charge triple times as my annual paychecks from my boss."

"I don't mind. How much," Levi said it seriously.

Rudolf glances at his boss before he spoke, "Let me calculate them, it includes my bonus and annual commission… maybe, I could buy three of your ordinary sports cars or one of the most expensive cars you built. So if that would be multiplied…"

"Hmm… then, that is all it takes." Levi shows how he thinks about it seriously.

Shun is glaring at Rudolf and he just shrugged his shoulder. It was just a joke but the amount is true.

"Am fine with it, however, it will depend on the agreement of course," Levi stated like he was truly serious about it.

Shun keeps glaring at him, but of course, he was just joking. "Hah, it depends on my boss… we have a contract—"

"The contracts include, of course, a personalized made sports car a year as your bonus." He is not joking.

Shun laughs. This kid knows how to negotiate, huh? No wonder he never wavered on facing him and won't go down on him. But of course, who he thinks he is? He glances at Rudolf.

"I think, I'll go get my resignation letter tomorrow." He joke ignores the glaring boss at him.

"Hah!" Levi finds an interesting about Shun Williams Crow. He was surrounded by good friends, he could see that. How he envies him. He wishes he has good friends too that he could trust... As growing up in a prominent family and was prohibited to go out, he only got few real friends. And most just know them because of school, there is no special connection with them but he only fond of those ordinary people, he becomes friends when he was younger. Those times he could still sneak out from their mansion but he has to begin learning his family business when he is 18.

"Okay, never mind. I wanna hear it now," he said afterward.

Rudolf glance at Shun and waited for him to nod. He then began to tell their guests, why he flew to Mainland City and live with the Young's until Ca.s.sandra was born and Shun has to leave because of his illness. How the Williams took him in, the complete separation from the Young's and his imprisonment inside the facility. Until he is able to sneak out to see the Young couple for the last time and see Ca.s.sie and celebrate her 12th birthday.

Rudolf also includes how Shun was forced to come back and includes the death of his mother, Dr. Helen then how Shun went to France, the death of the Young's… how Ca.s.sie was saved and hid in France then why Shun was adopted by Chairman Crow and become President and the present time about how they prepare to trap Julius Kang to his family crime.

They waited for Levi to breathe from surprised then, his shocked replace with confusion.

"Wait, if so… then why Ca.s.sie did not recognize you before?"

"She has amnesia, a different one. There are important events of her life she thought, it never happens and that is our meeting on her 12th birthday and how her parents died."

"Then, that is why she can't found you because you are manipulating everything, even I am, right?" Wow. Shun Williams Crow was present when Ca.s.sie was born. Is that fate? He felt envy.

"I don't want her to know yet, I don't know how she could accept her parent's death the way they died."

Levi clenches his fist. How cruel indeed. And how unfortunate Ca.s.sie's parents died because of people… Levi pauses on his thoughts and stared at Shun. Him and Ca.s.sie experience something similarity. Both are lost their parents in a vicious death. The difference is his family who did to Shun's parents. If he going to kill him here, could he escape? He laughs on his own thoughts.

Shun's eyebrow twitches upward. He expected differently of his reaction.

"Am sorry, am just start planning of how to escape here if you decided to kill me now."

"What?" his brow rises higher than earlier. "Well, if you keep insisting of taking her away, maybe I'll do it today." He said without wavering. This guy still won't give up, does he?

"I want to see her and talk to her," Levi requested.

"We have an agreement," Shun reminded him.

"I said it depends on if your reasoning could convince me."

Shun gives him sharp gazes. "Would you keep detesting my patience?" He looks at Levi's mocking face, this kid really is. However, his principles are actually won't beat up a teenager, maybe this will be the first time.

Oh, well, he won't consider that cases of Ca.s.sandra's cla.s.smates and schoolmate. He shut down that game for a few days just before the World Game Champions.h.i.+p ended, then he ordered Rudolf to emptied their resources and put a glitch on their account. They have to start all over again. Well, not only them, there are selected players though. Those blacklisted and rude players, cheaters, and bullies to be not that obvious.

He gave Levi serious and dark gazes...

"Wait, I remembered something!" Levi suddenly exclaimed over his serious expression.
