Just as Ryan stepped out of the private room, he heard the sound of things breaking from behind him and his foul mood magically got better.

He was in a really good mood after making the old man inside the room suffer a loss which made his lips curl into a faint smile making one of his subordinates who had been watching him gape his mouth in shock before he then started doubting if he had actually seen an illusion.

'Big boss smiled?'

He looked at Ryan again to confirm if he had really seen an illusion or not and when he saw that he still had that expressionless an cold look on his face. He decided he had ready seen an illusion since it was practically impossible for this devil to smile!

Oblivious to the thoughts of his subordinate, Ryan surveyed the situation outside the room and noticed that both his and Mr. Anderson's bodyguards had both taken a side of the door each to stand guard. He gave Mr.Anderson's men a cold glance before withdrawing his gaze and strodding down the stairs making his subordinates follow swifly after him.

Mr. Anderson's men breathed a sigh of relief on seeing be was finally gone. It wasn't that they were cowardly or anything afterall as people who could qualify to be the guards of an aristocratic family like the Andersons, how simple could they be, but Ryan's aura that he had released consciously or unconsciously was too suppressing to them and made them somewhat unable to breathe.

Not privy to their thoughts, Ryan and his subordinates arrived downstairs and unexpectedly met the curious gazes of some of the people sitting there. Part of these people were famous names and faces which could usually be found on financial and political magazines but now they all gathered together here like this was some sort of important seminar but in actuality it wasn't! 

He wasn't surprised at this scene as this cafe had always been patronised by the wealthy and powerful mainly because of its assured privacy and high quality coffee beans which were said to be worth more than ten times the cost of normal coffee beans.

This luxurious cafe was one of the places in Nova City that these wealthy and influential people would pick for discussing matters of great secrecy. Another of course was Night Kingdom of which he was one of the owners.

Few people apart from Selena, Justin, Nina and Dan knew he was the Big Boss of Blood Gang which was why he didn't even mind them sizing him up because even if someone did recognize him, it would be as Justin's rich friend and the part-owner of Night Kingdom. 

When he thought of this, he continued walking unhurriedly towards the entrance of the cafe and stepped out of its door.

After he was completely gone, some people finally recognised him and felt regretful that they hadn't remembered earlier and missed the opportunity of making friends with him after all in this circle it was better to have one more friend than an enemy.

Only a middle-aged man who looked particularly shrewd had a profound look in his eyes as he gazed with disdain at the others who didn't know the real identity of the man.

He remembered having the opportunity of catching a glimpse of this mysterious boss of the Blood Gang when he had visited their territory to buy the information of his enemies as they were both famous and feared for their intelligence network. On that day, he had been heading out after his order had been taken and saw him come in and not noticing he hadn't left yet the person in charge had called him Big Boss making him freeze in shock.

He still shuddered unconsciously when he remembered the chilling glance that man had given him when he had been found out, it was like looking at an inanimate thing but probably due to his identity, he had been left alive but only after threatening him with his biggest secret to make him keep his mouth shut about his identity.

So when he had saw him earlier coming down from the stairs he had subconsciously kept his head down to keep himself from being recognised.

…

Ryan would have never thought that one of the few people who knew his identity and was still alive was present in the cafe but even if he did know, he wouldn't be bothered about it since he had what the man cared about the most in his grasp.

A subordinate of his opened the door respectfully for him but just as he was about to get inside the car he paused and turned to the man who had thought he saw an illusion when he saw Ryan smile earlier. He was also the subordinate who had been sent to drive Selena back home when the duo had just broke up.

"Flynn, double the guards around Selena and instruct them that if anything unfavourable is to happen to her while she is still on vacation and under their protection, they should know exactly what would happen!"

Flynn nodded heavily and though he still had a calm face on the surface, his heart was badly shaken. He knew exactly what would happen should they allow anything to happen to their Boss's beloved while she was still under their watch! 

It was a fate worse than death! And as the person in charge, he would probably not escape responsibility if anything of that sort was to happen.

He resolved that he had to emphsize to the guards he would be sending over that they had to protect Selena no matter what happens though he did doubt anything could happen since she was just vacationing but then he remembered his boss's identity and knew it wasn't an empty worry as he just had too many enemies.

There was one thing he couldn't understand though, had his boss not broken up with her already? Then why would he still send his men to guard her?

As a pitiful single dog, Flynn couldn't understand why and since he didn't dare to ask his boss, he kept his mouth shut.

But why did it feel like he had forgotten something?

"Flynn..", A dangerous voice sounded out in front of him making him snap his head up sharply almost breaking it in the process.

He remembered! He had nodded instead of answering Ryan properly! And his boss hated that the most!

"Yes boss! I would carry out your instructions perfectly without delay!", His face changed instantly and he answered like a prim and proper subordinate while his heart beated loudly in his chest as he screamed internally.

'I was actually day dreaming in front of boss. Was I ready to die or was I ready to die?!!!'

Ryan gave him a fleeting look before stepping into the car unhurriedly and then waited for his men to get into their cars before the chauffeur drove off sandwiched protectively between the two cars…
