Mr. Gera, what are you doing here?"
"Young master... I sincerely apologize for my recklessness all this time. What Mr. Leon said is true. I have spoken inappropriately to you, who is my superior, and I am nothing more than someone who follows orders. I have no right, and I am not worthy to be in your presence. I have regarded you as an outsider who knows nothing.
I should have been more self-aware. Whoever you are, wherever you live, you are still Mr. Yan's child, his only son, and someone I should respect and educate with utmost sincerity."
Gera lowered his head. "Please forgive me, sir."
Leon moved his fingers several times, remaining silent for a considerable time. On the other hand, Gera did not stop bowing.
"People always say to give a second chance because they deserve it."
Gera lifted his head, pleased that Leon forgave him. However, his smile faded when Leon spoke again.
"But I am not one of those people." Leon walked closer, quite near to Gera.
"One insult will remain an insult to me."
Gera took a step back. How could a person who had lived outside have such a commanding presence?
Leon immediately changed his facial expression, smiling thinly as if there were no issues between them.
"But I like your way of teaching, Mr. Gera. Randoff told me that you are a great teacher, so I also want to give you another chance to work for me again."
Gera choked. "R-really?"
His eyes shaking
"Of course, thank you!"
"Thank you, Mr. Leon!"
Randoff observed both of them, especially his master, who was acting like a true host at the moment. Blood couldn't lie. Randoff smiled.
He recalled the times when Mr. Yan and Madam were still together. The house felt warm and very pleasant to live in. But, Mr. Leon surely had an unforgivable grudge against Mr. Yan.
Randoff closed his eyes. He only hoped that the two of them could meet again soon. But he didn't know when that would happen in the current circumstances.
Today, Gera returned to Leon's residence as a teacher. "Mr. Leon, today we will discuss the people in this organization."
Leon was interested. "Organization?"
Yes, both Mr. Yan's subordinates, his family, and some of his enemies. I prepared this material to prevent any incidents like that night from happening again. Hmm... I apologize for underestimating the tragedy that befell the young master."
Gera looked uncomfortable to continue. Because of guilt? More towards fear, in my opinion.
Gera lifted his bag, containing many documents. "I have divided this into several parts. Let's start with Mr. Yan's subordinates."
He then took out his laptop to connect to the white screen hanging from the ceiling. Besides that, he also handed several documents full of colorful notes, bright colors that made Leon furrow his brow.
"Sir, you can see from the first page; this is a list of people who work directly under him."
The screen changed, displaying several unfamiliar faces to Leon. "Only two people from this screen know about Mr. Leon's existence. That's why you must memorize their faces one by one. I have provided their facial photos in the document, from various angles and people around them... sir, is there a problem?"
Leon pressed the brightly colored book in front of him and then spoke. "You... what do you mean by giving me a book that looks like it's for children?"
Gera looked nervous. "I-Is there something wrong? Do I need to replace it?"
Leon looked at Randoff, who was now beside him. Then he whispered in his ear.
"Mr. Gera is known for his fanatic hobby of liking colorful things since the first time his first child was born. That's why many people don't like his way of teaching because it feels demeaning."
Very similar to the feeling Leon experienced every time Gera taught.
"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to demean the young master. Not at all. I just think this is the easiest way to teach someone. I will change it immediately."
"You're right; it's very easy to read when you break it down like this. But aren't you tired of making things like this?"
Gera shook his head. "No, I am a teacher. I prepare like this because I will teach someone, so I make it in such a way that it is easy to understand by everyone."
... He must be doing this while indulging in his hobby, right?
Leon furrowed his brow. 'I thought you were normal.'
Interested in cute things... Ah, is that why he always carries a teddy bear keychain?
"... But if the young master wants to change it, I will do it." His face looked somewhat sad when he said that.
"Yes, please do that."
Gera looked disappointed, but he agreed. "Okay, sir."
Leon observed Gera, who began to tidy up the documents.
"If you want to make it colorful, it's okay. But use it for notes only."
Gera's face lit up again.
Again, Randoff whispered to him when Gera was arranging the documents.
"Young master. Mr. Gera is actually a bit fanatic about his love for colorful things. Almost everyone who asked him to teach at their home asked him to change the documents to look more normal, but he refused and chose to resign as a teacher."
Now Leon knew why the man always seemed overdressed.
"But he wants to change it if you tell him to. Amazingly, not only that, but you also kindly give him a chance to have fun, even if only a little."
Right after saying that, Gera spoke. "Thank you, sir. You are truly generous."
No, not at all.
"I will give you new documents in the next class. For now, just look at the screen."
"Sir must be able to memorize this within the specified time. Anyway, we need to catch up quickly so that you can go back to school."
Leon straightened up. "Go back to school? Do you mean my campus?"
"Yes, besides education, there are children from families connected to the school organization. You must already know one of them."
Many wealthy people attended that school, but Leon's mind went straight to one person who made his life hell during school.
"The Rhomberg family."
Gera nodded. "Baron Rhomberg and Mitty Rhomberg, to be precise."
Leon would meet them again.
"Are you ready, Mr. Leon?" Gera waited for Leon, who was currently getting ready.After Randoff straightened his tie, Leon exited the room, eliciting smiles from some servants. Maxi, who happened to be assisting him, was smiling broadly while looking at his master wrapped in a perfectly fitted black suit."Sir, you look very handsome!" Maxi praised enthusiastically. Leon looked at the boy and gave a small smile. "Thank you, it's all thanks to this outfit.""No, you really look handsome! Even without the suit, sir, you look really cool," the boy praised again. Gera glanced at Randoff and nodded, signaling."Well then." Interrupting Maxi, who was still enthusiastically showering him with compliments, Randoff said, "We're leaving now, Mr. Leon." Leon walked following Randoff, with Gera by his side.Today, he and Gera were attending a party hosted by the Drago family. Gera had told him that this event would help Leon learn more about his family. Here, he would be introduced to some hig
"Alright, big brother!""But..." The two siblings being bullied looked at Baron. A sinister grin appeared on his face. "Isn't this amusing? Having two disabled kids as competitors for the Rombergh family. I don't understand why Father told me to be nice to this family."Baron exhaled smoke deliberately in the direction of the unfortunate siblings until they coughed. "Don't play for too long with them; come back inside," Baron said.The younger sibling of Baron just smiled, nodded, and then turned to the two kids in front of them with a smirk. "Kala, Kala! If you can refrain from screaming when I hit you later, I won't bother your little brother at school tomorrow!"This wasn't an ordinary children's game. Whoever that kid was, the way the people around him taught him was very wrong. Kala's younger sibling shook, restraining Kala from leaving. Kala just smiled faintly, ruffled the hair of his crying sibling, and stood up. It made the sibling of Baon laugh happily."Hehe, I'll try u
The man with a large build and a stern face currently stands in front of the podium, delivering a speech to the guests. He is someone who has taken numerous actions on behalf of the Drago family other than his own father. Or, someone who always sacrifices anything for his own interests. A smug smile on his face appears highly irritating at first glance. Perhaps it's my dislike for the Drago family, or maybe it's just intuition.Beside Mikeil stands a woman who seems to be his assisstant. On the other side, there is someone with a face somewhat resembling Baron. He must be the head of the Romberg family, and there is Baron standing next to the podium, waiting for them.Time continues to pass until I can't quite remember when. Gera then said to me, "Sir, after this, only a few people will remain inside. My relatively short stature does not allow me to stay here any longer."He said this as the event approached its conclusion. Oh, it's already over? I stretch my body, looking back at
Ramuna then hugged her brother tightly. "I hate everyone who works for the mafia!" He used all her breath and voice in the last sentence. The little kid gasped, unable to continue his speech. Only after that did he regain awareness. What if this man will make their lives and her brother's even more miserable?What if she once again took the wrong step? 'It's all my fault... I should have stayed silent from the beginning,' Kala muttered in his heart. Leon stared coldly at Kala as the boy shivered slightly in fear; Leon's mouth opened. "Go to hell, you stupid bastards." Kala widened his eyes; the man in front of him had just cursed at him. A laugh then escaped from the man's mouth. "...yes, like that. That's what I taught your brother." Leon once again used sign language, moving his hands slowly. ‘go to hell you stupid bastards.' Leon laugh, then looked at the two little kid who feel confused after hearing it."Hmm, is that too harsh for kids like you?" Kala looked at Leon
Firm face, pronounced cheekbones.I could see his neatly trimmed beard, as if he shaved it at every opportunity. His sharp, bright blue eyes contrasted with his entirely white hair.Iskandar Paulas didn't look at all like a 50-year-old man, typically known for wrinkles and a potbelly. Instead, he appeared remarkably fit for his age, making him look younger than he should.He was known as a strict man, showing no mercy even to his own children. But fate had other plans; his demeanor changed when all of his children died in a series of accidents.At that time, the entire Iskandar Paulas extended family was on vacation, enjoying their family time. Iskandar Paulas, who usually seemed like a cold person, would often join in these events, meeting his two children and seeing his grandchildren.In that catastrophic accident, of the five cars at the scene, only Iskandar Paulas's car remained intact, despite being hit by a large truck carrying timber. Officials said it likely because Paulas's v
Leon shrugged, uninterested. "I'm sure you know enough about that.” The discussion is heavy, especially for kids like Kala, let alone Ramuna, who is much younger. Gera tried to control his facial expression, visibly anxious about the debate he had initiated.The atmosphere in the room wasn't great. The sound of the cup placed on the table was rather loud."You're right. That's why I want to ask you something."Leon calmly put down his cup. "I'll answer as best as I can.""Haha, this is actually a somewhat personal inquiry from me. If you don't mind sharing."He said casually, and Leon responded, "Go ahead.""Well then, would you like to take the kids out for a bit? I believe my father's playground would be more enjoyable than this conversation.""Oh, that's a great idea!"Leon looked at Gera and said, 'Dad, can you please take Kala and Ramuna out to play?"Gera looked quite worried, but he didn't say anything. Standing up, Iskandar Paulas smiled at his two grandchildren, grabbing the
"That's not a compliment. But... huh, tell me, what do you want from me, young man?" Iskandar Paulas asked, staring at the silent Leon, contemplating the response to the just-asked question."Quite amusing, the Drago family asking something from him. Paulas already knew what kind of character the Drago family members had. He knew very well what kind of people they were. Forget that, look at someone close to him, Yan Drago. He just wanted to maintain his power and send his son and wife out of the family.Iskandar Paulas knew about Yan's son. He had met the child in front of him several times when he was still in the womb. How many years had passed since then for the child to grow up like this?"I want you to help me," Leon said firmly.Iskandar Paulas replied, "Help
"Still no news?" His eyebrows furrowed upon hearing the words of one of his father's assistants, whom he had tasked with finding the whereabouts of his two subordinates."The family and friends mentioned they fled after cashing in at the casino. Currently, even their own family appears to be in a rush; they're about to relocate to another city after going bankrupt," the man in opulent attire clicked his tongue once again.He sighed heavily, dismissing the assistant with a wave of his hand."That fool. How long are they gonna vanish like this?"Initially, he believed Ren and Norman were merely on vacation when there was no news in the first month. But now, it's the second month.Not only that, their families severed ties with
