One autumn night, Gabriel received a letter from Odeen Slyvia.

[“Your son found out that you are Mr. Hades B. You should get rid of him.”]

Gabriel crumpled the paper around his hand.

Ten days passed.

Xavier went back to the Black mansion. It was quiet in the mansion because Louisa and Brehart aren’t there anymore.

Louisa and Gabriel filed for divorce. Brethart is still in prison. Rose was busy buying shares to strengthen her power over Black corporations.

Xavier looked around the place which never became a home for him.

‘Everyone is almost finished with their tasks. Now, it’s my turn,’ Xavier thought.

He walked forward and the maids greeted him.

“Good morning, Sir!”

“Hi, Sir!”

Ever since Louisa and Brethart disappeared, the maids treat him well. The power changed.

“Is Rose here?”

“Yes, Sir. She’s in the room.”

“Okay.”

Xavier walked towards Rose’s room and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Rose said.

Xavier opened the door and went inside.

Rose was surprised to see him back.

“It’s been

    “I should have killed you before, Haiden.”Gabriel pointed the gun at Xavier. His eyes went to the note in Xavier’s hand, then back to Xavier’s surprised face.“Were you searching for evidence to know that I am Hades B?” Gabriel asked.Xavier doesn’t know what to feel right now. Will he feel sad? Unbothered? Guilty? He had no idea.“You care for Rose?” Xavier asked.“Huh?”“The passcode was Rose’s birthday.”Gabriel frowned as he placed his index finger on the trigger of the gun.“And this note,” Xavier showed it to him. “You were supposed to send this to Odeen. Why? Did Odeen tell you who Haiden is? What’s his purpose? And that he’s looking for you?”The Chairman narrowed his eyes.“Why are you talking as if you are not Haiden?”Xavier pursed his lips and took a deep breath.“You’re not Haiden, are you?” Gabriel guessed. He tightly held the gun and shouted, “Who are you?!”Xavier didn’t answer as he tightly held the ledger and the note.“When you came back after you went missing, you

    In front of the wide blue sea, the red sunset to the West. Blue and Red met on the horizon. “Do you know what will happen if you mix blue and red?” A man with blonde hair and blue eyes asked while holding his fishing rod. "It's Green. The color of our eyes is blue and red. Maybe that’s why your surname is Green.” The other guy looked at him. “It’s Purple, not green.” he answered. “…” A black crow flew in the sky. “Should I laugh now?” Xavier, who still has Haiden’s face, asked. Haiden, who still had Xavier’s face, looked at him. “Shit. It's not Green?” Xavier shook his head. “Damn it. I sound so cool before. Huh! You are so serious, brother-in-law. It’s hard to joke with you,” Haiden said. "But it is not a joke," Xavier said, laughing It’s been three years since Xavier and Haiden finished their revenge on the Black family and on Fugito. A lot of things happened during the three years. Xavier had to continue his role as Haiden Black, the heir of the Black corporation. Jus

    “$2million.” Xavier peered at seven digits on the bank cheque. He realized that the boss’s wife was serious when she said that she was willing to pay him $2 million in exchange for his body. “All you need is to give me your heart, Xavier. Then the $2 million will be all yours.”Xavier stood silent as he clenched his fists. They said when temptation comes, you should close your eyes and run away from it. Because those who fall from temptation and snare will plunge men into destruction and ruin. But oddly, Xavier couldn’t take his eyes off the money. The will is eager, but the flesh is weak. “I heard that you decided to work here because you have debts to pay,” the boss’s wife continued. At that moment, the head of the man standing in front of her turned. His blue eyes locked onto her. She wore her red hair down, and as she gracefully moved with her night gown, he saw glimpses of her neckline, white neck, and collarbone. The boss’s wife, Lewelyn, raised her head and seductively s

    Driving on the empty highway, Xavier glanced at the front mirror and looked at the cadaver bag which contains the corpse. This is the 120th corpse that he will deliver ever since he worked in Fugito mansion. It's been a year, but the fear is always there. To be alone inside the car with a corpse requires courage. Clutching his hand around the wheels, Xavier took a deep breath. “You are the 120th corpse that I will transport. What is your name? Do you have a family? What was your job?” Xavier asked even if he knows that the dead won't answer him. This is his way to get rid of his fear. At the same time, mourned for the victim of another cruelty. Xavier was always curious why there are so many people dying in that place. But for the sake of money, he never asked anything. He abandoned his moral to be an accomplice of a crime. Heaving a sigh, Xavier glanced at the black cadaver bag on the back seat through the front mirror. As soon as he looked at the bag, he saw it moving.

    [“ THE MADAM TOLD HIM THAT YOU TRIED TO RAPE HER! SIR CESAR WAS SO MAD HE ASKED HIS MEN TO ABDUCT YOUR FAMILY RIGHT NOW!”]Problem after problem. Xavier hadn’t solved how he would deal with the survivor in the back seat of the car, and now, another trouble aroused.“The madam s-said that I tried to r-rape her?” It’s laughable. Horribly laughable. It’s freaking funny how that woman can ruin his life through a simple lie. Was it because she felt ashamed? Her pride was crushed? She wanted to get her revenge? None of these is reasonable to put someone in danger! As the seconds passed by, Xavier was sinking little by little into reality. The madam’s lie would get him and his family killed. He shook his head and began to murmur his desperate pleas. “No. Not my wife. Not my son,” he murmured with a voice that was like a turbulent ocean. He looked down on the dim car and searched for the phone he had dropped before. Just for that moment, Xavier forgot about the cadaver bag on the back

    “This is not true,” Xavier defended while shaking his head. “I never covet your woman, Sir!” “Lies!” Lewelyn screamed while crying hysterically. “Y-You forced yourself inside my room and confessed that you liked me. When I rejected you, you threatened me and tried to hold me!” “No!” Xavier declined. “I never d…” Xavier stopped when Cesar pinned the gun muzzle onto his forehead. Click. There was a clicking sound as Cesar put the gun’s hammer down. After that, every sound was muted. Xavier could only hear the loud beating of his heart. “Are you saying that my wife who was crying so hard is lying to me?!” Cesar shouted. “I… won’t dare lie to y…”“SHUT THE **** UP!Xavier’s shoulders tensed. From the beginning, he was never given the chance to explain himself, and everything was decided. Whatever the truth is, Xavier will be punished by Cesar. No one would listen to a lowly and powerless driver. “You touched something which isn’t yours, young man,” Cesar said while grinding his t

    In the empty street of McKenly, a van quietly made its way. McKenly is a ghost town, and it’s been years since people left the place. Many feared visiting, especially at night because of the rumors that ghosts have appeared recently in this area. However, for criminals, this is the perfect pathway to use for transferring dead bodies. “This place is scary,” John, who was sitting in the passenger seat, complained. “It seems that any time, a ghost will appear. They said this town was cursed. If you bring a corpse here, then the corpse will haunt you forever.” The driver, Bradport, laughed so hard while driving. “Are you telling me that Xavier will stand up and eat us? Stop being a wimp. That won’t ever happen.” Taking a deep breath, John looked behind the van and stared at the corpse inside the cadaver bag. Clutching the seat belt, John stared at the road again. Certainly, the curse of the town is just a rumor. But tonight something will happen that can make everyone believe it mi

    “That is what happened,” Haiden said after telling his story to Xavier and his sister, Bridgette. “Now, it solved everything. Since we have Cesar’s research team, we can find a way to bring back our old appearance,” Xavier said. “You and Bridgette had a hard time,” Haiden said. “But call me selfish. I didn’t regret losing my memories and spending normal days with my sister.” Haiden looked at Bridgette and smiled. Bridgette smiled too. “We fought a lot, right?” Haiden said to Bridgette. “Yes. Now I know why. You are not my husband but my brother.” “And siblings always fight.” Bridgette held Haiden’s hand. “Thank you, brother. For coming back and saving me.” The two smiled at each other. Xavier, who was watching them, felt weird. Is it because Haiden is still wearing his face? ‘We need to find a way to bring back our appearance as soon as possible!’ Xavier thought. “Anyway,” Haiden uttered, getting his hand from his sister. “I still have unfinished business with Gabriel.” Ha

Fuming in anger, Spade thought of nothing except making a way out of here, and venting his anger to Xavier! “It was your fault!” Spade pointed his gun to Xavier and pressed the trigger. Bang! Xavier closed his eyes, waiting for the impact. But he felt nothing. He opened his eyes and saw what happened with a swift move. Gian attacked Spade from behind. When Spade pressed the trigger, his aim was missed. “Once is enough!” Gian shouted before he pinned Spade to the ground. But the Mafioso, who experienced countless battles, did not give up. Spade pulled out another gun from his waist and shot Gian. Bang! “Uck!” “Gian!” “Brother Gian!” Gian dodged the bullet a second late, and had his left chest shot. He

Spade was looking down at Xavier with a gun in his hand.He was caught. Xavier knew that Spade finally caught his secret. And the person who made it happen?Xavier tilted his head to Gian.

When he saw her reaction, he could tell that she was guilty.“You...” Gabriel murmured. “Did you sell your shares to the underground business?”Heuk!Louisa felt like swallowing her tongue.Gabriel, the Chairman of the Black corporation, stood up and exited the hall.“H-Honey! Wait!” Louisa stood up too and followed her husband.Now, Rose and Xavier were left alone in their seats.“Louisa was done for, right?” Rose asked Xavier.“Yes. I don’t think father will forgive her this time,” Xavier answered.“I am curious. How did you make Louisa sell her shares? What tactic did you do?”“It is a secret that I cannot tell. The most important thing is that we got our revenge. Louisa and Bret
