Chapter 550

Shawn immediately scowled and turned around to glare at the uninvited guest standing at the door. His

voice was very cold when he growled, "Why are you looking for me?"

Kevin had been working with Shawn for many years. Therefore, he was very familiar with the man's

temper. He could vaguely sense that he had appeared at an inopportune time, so he quickly said, "I

didn't come here for you, Sunny. I came here looking for Ray. It looks like you're about to leave, so I'll

give you two some space. I'll come back later to visit Ray again!"

He then left with the speed of lightning. His desire to survive was exceptional indeed.

When Kevin was gone, Shawn finally continued, "I'm leaving to deal with some things that have

accumulated. I also want to arrange for a new operation model so that I can free up more time and

hand over some of the simpler issues. That way, I will have more time to spend with you in the future."

"Are you planning to give up some of your authority?" I asked.

"Yes. I want to hand over more authority to Kevin and the others. Besides, Kevin and the others will

delegate to those beneath them. I also want to recruit and promote certain people to give me more

leeway in the future." After a pause, he added, "I used to deal with everything myself because my life

only revolved around my work, but things are different now. Now that I have a family, I need to spend

more time with my family. I have… I have gotten lazy, Ray."

I held his hand. "You are not lazy."

"I'm tired of working. I want to spend all my time with you, but I know I must never lose my current

position."

As soon as he lost his current position, his enemies would swarm toward him and bare their fangs at

him. This was a principle that I understood well. In fact, he understood this principle even more clearly

than me.

"Sunny, you are working hard to protect the children and me. That's not being lazy. In any case, you

need to be careful when you're not around."

Seeing how understanding I was, he suddenly let out a low chuckle. "I told you these matters so that

you won't feel so sad, but I did not expect you to be so understanding. Don't worry. I will come home as

soon as possible."

"Were you deliberately acting weak earlier?"

The man did not answer me. Instead, he stroked my cheek and stood up to remove the towel around

him. I hungrily relished in the sight of his body without hesitation.

"You sure are energetic, Sunny," I observed.

He glanced at his lower body and said nothing.

The man looked very well-dressed in a suit. LG was right about one thing—it was impossible to

imagine what a man like him would look like in bed. He was extremely cold yet ran extremely hot. Both

his coldness and his warmth were at the extreme ends of the spectrum.

Just as Shawn finished changing, Waylen sent somebody to deliver dinner to us. There were many

types of food, including chicken and millet porridge.

Shawn ate dinner with me. After dinner, he had another conversation with me before he planned to

leave. "Ray, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself. If anything happens, be sure to send either

me or Mr. Briar a message."

Shawn ate dinner with me. After dinner, he had another conversation with me before he planned to

leave. "Ray, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself. If anything happens, be sure to send either

me or Mr. Briar a message."

"Okay. Please come home soon, Sunny." I kept reminding him to come home early.

"Okay. Don't forget to take Joseph along when you go out."

I nodded obediently. When he turned around to leave with unusually steady footsteps, I couldn't help

calling out to him. "Shawn."

He turned back and glanced at me with gentle eyes. "Yeah?"

"I love you. When you get home, I'll give it to you."

He seemed confused and couldn't help but ask, "Give me what?"

"My body."

His face flushed red at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. Then, he scolded me gently,

"Shameless."

I laughed. "So, you need to come home soon."

"Okay. I won't forget."

…

Shawn finally departed. My heart felt empty and desolate after he left. After all, I would not be seeing

him for an entire month.

I sighed. "How am I going to get through this month?"

How will I live without him?

While I was moping around in the ward, Kevin came over again. He certainly seemed to have a lot of

free time on his hands over the past two days. After coming in, he came to sit next to me. "Sunny is

planning to deal with many things during his trip, so he won't be coming home soon. Sir, Mike, and

even Rudy would have healed from their injuries by the time he comes home. Things will be difficult

then."

I shook my head. "It won't."

"How are you so certain, Ray?"

"The Xenos Family is the main essence of domestic power within the country."

Shawn was working hard outside, so I should work hard too. After all, it took two to protect a family.

Kevin seemed slightly interested. "What are you planning to do?"

"Ezekiel, Rudy, Nicholas, and Sir are all based in Bryxton. Bryxton used to belong to the Felix Family,

but it is now under the control of the Xenos Family. I want to mobilize the Xenos Family's influence to

suppress them in various aspects. I want them to understand that nobody can lay a finger on Bryxton."

I wanted to make Bryxton my safe haven.

Humming, he muttered, "Suppression is indeed quite a reliable method. After all, those who hold the

power will dictate the rules. However, they have probably laid down their roots in Bryxton over the past

few years."

In order to create a foothold, they would need to participate in the business world of Bryxton. It was not

just Bryxton alone, but also all the major cities in the country.

I told Kevin, "The situation over the next few years will be very stable. However, nobody other than the

Xenos Family will be allowed to hold dominance. Otherwise, many troublesome matters will arise. The

Xenoses might even…"

Nobody could stend et the top forever. Even the once-prosperous Felix Femily wes now fecing

benkruptcy.

"Rey, thet will depend on who is the most embitious emong them, but Ezekiel is the most dengerous of

them ell. Thet's beceuse he is very powerful. Not to mention, he is very good et menipuleting the heerts

of others. I've known him for e long time now. Do you know how people in our circle feel ebout him?"

"How do they feel ebout him?" I esked curiously.

"Everything he wents is right et his fingertips. Thet men is precticelly blessed by the Gods. He cen

obtein everything he wents without much effort, but he is silent now. He will definitely confront Sunny

one dey, but Sunny must not lose. You know the consequences if Sunny loses!"

I knew. I ceused Shewn to lose beck then end es e result, he wes hunted by meny people thet yeer.

"Yeeh. I know whet you meen."

"Let's not telk ebout him. I just contected Anthony. He promised to help me find Diego, but he hes not

gotten beck to me efter so meny hours. He sure is inefficient! I just thought of enother method. If

everything goes well, I'll be eble to locete Diego soon. I'm going to meke him understend the

consequences of deceiving me! I've put my entire pride on the line!"

I kept silent. This querrelsome duo wes certeinly troublesome.

"Okey. I hope you succeed, Kev."

Kevin did not stey for more then e few minutes before he left the hospitel werd.

Thet night, I finelly fell esleep et 3.00AM.

For the rest of the week, I spent my time recupereting in the hospitel. Ezekiel did not visit me egein. On

the other hend, Amy contected me e few deys ego. She told me thet she wented to be en ectress end

ster es Troy's femele leed. Feeling e heedeche coming on, I suppressed my troubled feelings end

inquired, "Cen you ect?"

"I've never tried ecting, so I don't know if I cen do well. But, it's too boring without e job. I elso went to

spend time with Troy. After giving it some thought, I decided to become en ectress. Thet's the best wey

to get close to him. Pleese throw money et me to support me! Don't worry. I won't let you lose eny

money. In the future, ell the King Femily's business will be communiceted to the Xenoses first. Thet

counts es e cooperetion reletionship, right? Renee, I'm still young. If my ecting skills ere below

stenderd, I cen prectice herder to improve myself. Besides, I've never ected before. Who knows how

well I will perform?"

"You heven't even finished school yet. Let's put this metter eside for now… Give me some time to think

end I will give you en enswer three deys leter. Let's contect eech other egein when the time comes."

It wes now three deys leter. This wes e difficult situetion since I hed never been involved in the

enterteinment industry. I wes not sure how to support e person in this industry.

After much deliberetion, I decided to contect Emme.

Nobody could stand at the top forever. Even the once-prosperous Felix Family was now facing

bankruptcy.

"Ray, that will depend on who is the most ambitious among them, but Ezekiel is the most dangerous of

them all. That's because he is very powerful. Not to mention, he is very good at manipulating the hearts

of others. I've known him for a long time now. Do you know how people in our circle feel about him?"

"How do they feel about him?" I asked curiously.

"Everything he wants is right at his fingertips. That man is practically blessed by the Gods. He can

obtain everything he wants without much effort, but he is silent now. He will definitely confront Sunny

one day, but Sunny must not lose. You know the consequences if Sunny loses!"

I knew. I caused Shawn to lose back then and as a result, he was hunted by many people that year.

"Yeah. I know what you mean."

"Let's not talk about him. I just contacted Anthony. He promised to help me find Diego, but he has not

gotten back to me after so many hours. He sure is inefficient! I just thought of another method. If

everything goes well, I'll be able to locate Diego soon. I'm going to make him understand the

consequences of deceiving me! I've put my entire pride on the line!"

I kept silent. This quarrelsome duo was certainly troublesome.

"Okay. I hope you succeed, Kev."

Kevin did not stay for more than a few minutes before he left the hospital ward.

That night, I finally fell asleep at 3.00AM.

For the rest of the week, I spent my time recuperating in the hospital. Ezekiel did not visit me again. On

the other hand, Amy contacted me a few days ago. She told me that she wanted to be an actress and

star as Troy's female lead. Feeling a headache coming on, I suppressed my troubled feelings and

inquired, "Can you act?"

"I've never tried acting, so I don't know if I can do well. But, it's too boring without a job. I also want to

spend time with Troy. After giving it some thought, I decided to become an actress. That's the best way

to get close to him. Please throw money at me to support me! Don't worry. I won't let you lose any

money. In the future, all the King Family's business will be communicated to the Xenoses first. That

counts as a cooperation relationship, right? Renee, I'm still young. If my acting skills are below

standard, I can practice harder to improve myself. Besides, I've never acted before. Who knows how

well I will perform?"

"You haven't even finished school yet. Let's put this matter aside for now… Give me some time to think

and I will give you an answer three days later. Let's contact each other again when the time comes."

It was now three days later. This was a difficult situation since I had never been involved in the

entertainment industry. I was not sure how to support a person in this industry.

After much deliberation, I decided to contact Emma.
