"Oy robot!" Lexio could be said to have called Kean a robot many times. After all, he was so flat!

Kean glanced flatly, while waiting for what Lexio wanted to say again.

"Um, no offense. I was just curious once, do you... have a family?" It was the first time he was nervous about asking-this with someone else. Not his own family.

Kean didn't want to answer yet, his gaze still flat. Lexio could see clearly, there was an expression of annoyance. However, it was successfully disguised with his flat face.

Apparently, it still offended him, didn't it?

Kean sighed for a moment, because he started to be questioned about family. After previously, someone else had asked the same question.

What family?

Honestly, Kean had forgotten what family was. Every time someone asked, he would be silent. As if the memory of family had been permanently erased, it was actually intentionally forgotten by him.

"Ignore that one!" said Lexio.

Deciding to continue shooting practice, but stopped again when he saw Kean standing next to him again.

"Are you sure you managed to cover up this hidden training?"

Lexio paused for a moment. "No, because either the two of them or father will find out. Besides, all the activities will reveal themselves." It was as if there was a CCTV moving around, watching him.

"You're not bad, still practicing so what?" Kean was not a reliable shooter, it could be said that he often observed enemies or allies attacking with rifles. For some reason, Kean suddenly wanted to have a small conversation. Whereas earlier, he ignored and was brief when replying.

"Just want to master all the rifles."

"Hm, I see." Kean leaned against the wall, somehow the intention to wander around the Demoniac family's yard vanished. Choosing to watch Lexio practice shooting.

****

It was already three o'clock at night, three hours of shooting practice for Lexio. Not only Lexio or Kean, people who live in the dark world often ignore bedtime. Or simply never sleep.

"Do you think it's okay? A person whose profession is so vile, trying to have normal feelings, wanting to be able to behave normally. Basically like a normal teenager?"

"It's fine, just don't weaken yourself."

Lexio was silent at that.

"You want to be free huh?"

"Uhm that's not all, I don't want to be considered a burden because I can't balance the abilities that the two of them have. Sure, if they already know about my hidden training. That doesn't mean they'll immediately believe I'm reliable."

Kean was reluctant to respond to anything.

"Living a normal life too, definitely won't weaken yourself. The point is, I just want to feel it for once."

Lexio was always in the main house area, as if confined. Alex told him to practice until he could match his twin brothers. He meant well, but for Lexio it was like a restraint. Only once, he was invited to attack the enemy. The rest was at home and practicing.

Sick of being trained by a twin brother who took the time-aka-obeyed Alex's orders to train him. Finally, he refused and just observed. Decided to train in secret, even though she would still be discovered.

"Everyone has the right, if the other person forbids it. You must be able to resist or give a good reason to resist."

"What do you do when you're not working?" Lexio was curious again.

"None of your business!" hissed Kean.

Lexio scowled in annoyance, then followed Kean out of the room. In fact, followed him. Stopped in her tracks, as the one she was following stopped and turned around. Again, a flat stare, which Lexio saw.

"What else?"

"You like to mingle with ordinary people, right? Even if them think you're scary?" asked Lexio. "Don't you wanna help me get out of the house?"

Kean raised one eyebrow, not expecting Lexio to ask him that. Then he turned around and took another step.

"Oy!" he shouted.

"You're trying on your own!" argued Kean.

Managed to get Lexio to stop following him, and even left for who knows where? Maybe, back home? I don't know, Kean didn't really care. Choosing to wander around until morning.

Kean propped up his chin with one hand, his black bead fixed on the outside of the windshield. Glancing briefly in the other direction, Lexio stood in the doorway of the house. It wasn't long before Alex's two eldest twins approached, but were ignored and walked away by Lexio.

"Your survival rules are tougher than others—huh?" chided Kean deliberately.

Alex couldn't believe it when Kean said something. Usually, he was always silent and would speak if someone asked or started first. He understood instantly that Kean must be talking about Lexio's wish. Earlier, he clearly caught Kean's eyes glancing briefly at his youngest son.

"Because I'm not outspoken like him, it's passed down to his son."

Kean just cleared his throat, understanding that Alex meant the Santana family. In the profession of the dark world, his true identity was Satania while Santana as a family to blend in with ordinary people. Demoniac was not close friends, but his relationship with Satania was strong—always on the same page. The two families agreed to become allies.

"Just saying, lazy or afraid of going overboard with human auctions for no reason—huh?" sneered Kean.

The first time he made a deal with Alex until now, the second time—the point was that he was still new but could guess well, that Alex could not resist the urge to auction off humans or kill them to be used as house decorations. Although there had been many.

"Well, that." Alex didn't argue, sometimes his wife and three children said so.

"True to the family name, one is cruel like a demon and the other is a devil!"

Alex chuckled loudly. "How come a robot-looking human like you talks so much?" Deliberately turning around to sneer.

Kean chuckled annoyed, actually wondering why he started talking so much. He wanted to jump out of the car, because Alex's behavior was sometimes beyond his real persona as a mob boss.

"You're just hanging around."

Kean understood that the meaning of the word 'loitering' was not just circling Alex's company. Rather, it was to be a probing observer into his cold and secretive personality. When he found the real answer, whether or not the culprit remained adamant. Then, Kean was free to do anything humiliating to solve it. Alex's first order, hiring himself to scare almost seamlessly, was more on the verge of success and failure.

 "Yes, alright."

In truth, Kean was reluctant to roam openly among them for long. It felt better to be covert, considering Alex was now his boss. So, he just complied.

Another grunt of annoyance was heard, but continued to pace—reluctant to stop or say hello after all this time.

Yep, Kean accidentally met someone from his past. Although, it was just one person. A middle-aged man, though almost elderly—still tall and healthy. Not trying to get closer, just staring from afar. Still trying to believe what he saw.

Kean, here?

Kendra was the name of the man who made Kean let out another curse of annoyance.

"What's wrong? Did boss say boss was in a hurry?" The secretary was suddenly surprised when her boss paused after walking so fast because of some other business.

Kendra shook his head. "Let's go."

Kean was suddenly overcome with emotion, having already forgotten the past that he never wanted to remember. However, he could not blame fate. If they will eventually be reunited under completely different conditions.

It wasn't longing that Kean felt, it was hatred. Wanting to erase his memory again, after accidentally crossing paths.

Shit!

When his cell phone in his pants pocket vibrated, he got a message from Alex.

"Are there four people? They've left." Kean got another message from Alex, obtained from another mobile CCTV that the target had left but still insisted.

Meanwhile, a black car was speeding away. Precisely the vehicle of the trouble maker, and his three minions.

"How could he hire that teenager too! After getting close to one horrible person!" he snapped.

The horrible person in question was Regan, though she didn't interfere too much with Alex's personal and family matters. Still, it was always thought that she would help Alex solve the problem. In fact, no.

"Unbelievable! An ordinary company owner could easily hire him!" The others got angry too.

Emotions got the better of them, not realizing that one of them was still driving and just realized that there was another car, which deliberately drove very fast than the speed of the car they were using.

Too late to move out of the way, their car had already been hit. But the driver still stepped on the gas pedal, really wanting to make the target crumble slowly as well as the car he was using. Ignoring the panicked gazes of his four targets.

Huh, I don't know why it was lazy to run so it used one of its cars.

Kean, anti-vehicle. But adept at driving a car and once used very wildly. Evidently, still continuing to step on the gas pedal was lucky that the big road the target was traveling on had few vehicles passing by.

Those who just passed, were forced to brake suddenly. When they saw a collision that was done intentionally. Also, not wanting to get involved, they chose to reverse direction and move away.

The target's car was getting dented, just as the one used by Kean was badly damaged at the front. That's not what made Kean continue to step on the gas pedal, but seeing the target car's engine was badly damaged and smoke began to come out.

Will it explode?

This time Kean didn't kill directly. For some reason, he wanted to go through an intermediary-the car. Just as he managed to corner the target's car, which was already heavily damaged and filled with smoke, Kean opened the car door and got out—walking casually away from the area.

His footsteps immediately accelerated, as the sound of explosions began to be heard. Afterwards, he returned to his leisurely walk, not caring about the fate of the four targets and the car that he had suddenly used to explode.

The important thing was to finish.

"Even if you don't do it right away, it's a relief."

Kean was about to change targets, but his brain was again forced hard to remember his current boss Alex. He managed to control himself normally, and forgot about the memory that made his emotions overflow.

His cell phone rang again, Alex was calling him.

[Already?]

Kean was silent for a moment. "Yes." After deactivating it, he went back to walking leisurely away from the area of his assassination plan.

No matter, there were many vehicles that stopped to look. Then turned around—away from the area when someone secured the four victims from Kean. In that instant, Kean quickly eliminated his presence from all of them.

Whether he realized it again or not, his movements were clearly seen by Kendra who was about to leave for some other business. He couldn't believe what she was seeing anymore.

He had really changed—differently.

Kendra let out a rough breath. "Change direction," he ordered the driver, also ignoring the questioning gaze of the secretary who saw her through the glass—coincidentally sitting next to the driver.

"You're so complicated with people's lives—huh?" he continued.Rayyan chuckled, remembering that Denish seemed to easily guess what he was thinking at the moment. He didn't show any obvious signs of curiosity. However, it was still noticeable."Actually, I am too, but not quite like you.

    In the end, the wish that had been so hard to come true happened. Lexio was allowed out of the main house.Lexio, who had been walking behind, began to move ahead of Kean. His behavior was completely out of character—a far cry from his identity as one who practiced a dark profession. There was a sense of excitement, being able to get out of the main house.Free, even though he had to be escorted. Lexio didn't refuse, as Kean became his impromptu bodyguard. It was better than being escorted by his two crazy and annoying twin brothers."At least don't hang around now!"How could I not?Exactly ten o'clock at night, asking to go out and wander around. Indeed, he was used to wandering around at night, without sleeping or going home. However, Lexio's desire clashed with a sudden sense of laziness. Yep, Kean was in the mood for quiet. Failed, because Lexio insisted.Moreover, saying 'currently he is the master' annoyed Kean, finally obeying."You just wander around on your own."Lexio just

    Lexio sighed for a moment, starting to act casual. Indeed, trying to attack in a state that did not reveal a monstrous personality was difficult. "Scared, huh?"Alvaro shook his head. "Just surprised.""I'm Xio, who are you?" Lexio deliberately erased two letters from his name. "Wanna be friends?"Alvaro was taken aback again. "I'm Alvaro." Started scratching his cheek that wasn't itchy, and couldn't believe it. Can act outside of his daily personality when at school, strangely this is in front of a person he just met and helped him. Alvaro was known as a quiet and cold person at school, actually not easily trusting people around him. As a result of being a victim of thugs, he was afraid of being approached by anyone. "Making friends?""Yes." Lexio answered quickly. "You're the first person I've asked to be friends."Alvaro was confused, because a stranger suddenly asked him to be friends."I'm not insisting, but at least it's nice to see yo

    Kean turned his back on Kendra. "Your status as my father was—then. Now, it's no longer. Ah yes, since easily dumping me even 'him' is the same as you. Surely, you have a new family too?" Kean pointed for a moment at Kasya with her new husband, a finger covered in blood.Kasya intended to do the same as Kendra, saying sorry. However, she decided against it."Too late!" Kean said without looking at the two of them. "Enjoy your new life and ignore this outcast." Kean walked away, if he talked to the two of them for long.

    Lexio was seen sitting on the wall of the main house gate, having been forced to go home. There was absolutely no intention of entering, he could have attacked Alex's men who picked his up and exploded the car then fled. However, the risk was that Alex would order Kean to drag himself home."I'm not satisfied!" he squealed loudly, occasionally moving his dangling legs downward.Lexio clucked in annoyance, when someone appeared near him—who else but his two crazy twin brothers. Lexio jumped up and quickly walked away from them, completely unwilling to engage. Moreover, it would be the same.

    "Oy, what are you looking for?" Raga had been observing Rayyan's behavior, making him curious again.Rayyan suddenly forgot his purpose to meet Denish, because he wanted to confirm something else from Raga."How come you're looking so serious? Even ignored my question?" Raga was somewhat annoyed, but began to let it go."You knew right away, even though you weren't at the meeting." Rayyan was silent for a moment. "That means, you already know that I'm not the only one...." Instantly stopping his words, Rayyan became uncomfortable.What Karina suspected happened to his too, it seemed like Denish was the same. The gazes of all the students in the school became very different, even though they tried to ignore them. However, it was still very disturbing."Denish is Kean's half-brother too. That's what you wanted to say, right?"Rayyan nodded. "So, is it true? You managed to figure it out?"

    "Xio?"Alvaro turned to Dean. Remembering that time had not told him what the characteristics of Xio--aka--Lexio were. Unfortunately, Alvaro only knew the name 'Xio'. "Yeah, if I notice he's a year older."Dean was still listening."But, I feel that Xio is different from other teenagers of the same age that I know, especially at school." Alvaro, since he was helped by Lexio, started to feel strange at that moment."What's weird?""Yes, just weird. Xio said I was the first person he asked to make friends. As if Xio had never been friends with anyone. Another thing, when she was fighting the thugs that time... at first glance, the look in her eyes was terrifying."Dean sighed for a moment. "We really don't know people's true nature, even if we've met them once.

Alvaro snapped, annoyed that he was being laughed at. "If you really leave, I'll be alone! Dean's brother will leave too!"Kean took a breath, and his body began to move even though it felt different. His movements were limited, especially his hands, and he said that one of his legs was cracked.Then he remembered again, and the second explosion happened.

    He didn't know what he felt, but it was clear that Kean was following his instincts. Come to think of it, it was long gone and forgotten.Kean took a breath, now at the threshold of the headquarters entrance. "Helping? Hate but help?" Instantly muttering to himself, even a strange laughter began to sound. "Child instinct, huh?"Long gone; now it has appeared. Yes, Kean was doing this because the instinct of a child who did not want his parents to get hurt kept urging."I don't care anymore." Kean said so resignedly, even taking a step without caring about the trap.Sure enough, just as he took a step, a bomb exploded. Luckily, Kean had already jumped backwards, occasionally guessing which foothold was safe to avoid. At the same time, the bullet fired by the sniper—the mafia man who was holding his family—hit his left shoulder. Successfully hit the left shoulder.Kean flinched for a moment; in an instant, his movements were fast, and he had already appeared in front of one sniper after
