(Ian POV)   Nate and I seem on good terms now. He released Zaki even though I didn't give him the data. He doesn't force me to go home to their house anymore, so it seems like I have freedom now.   It's Saturday. I was just at home, looking at what my business had spent and earned. Smuggling is a hard business but with the help of Nate and Kerwyn I can bring in and take out illegal items, such as gunpowder, weapons, vehicles, drugs, and others without paying tax and anything else.   My business is doing well, I have also saved money for the future. The salary of my staff is a percentage of their income. To me, 50% of them are 50% for not being too unfair.   I looked at the wall clock, it was 7 pm.   "Sir, lord Nate Guevarra is outside." My staff knocked.   Nate? What is he doing here?   I opened the door.   "I'll take

,(Nate POV)   I am preparing for tomorrow night to welcome the products I bought from Hong Kong at sea. I need those things. I don't know if the heads of the two gods of that group, Kerwyn Leford Del Fero, god of Rubicund, and Stan Elthen Indelcio, god of Stygian, are both mad. As the leader of the Rogue Sharks who promised to help Kerwyn in battle, I needed to be better prepared.   I am so indebted to Kerwyn because he was the reason I finally touched the most important thing in my life, Ian Cole Mercado. Ian was only in his second year when I first saw him.   I saw him bruised closed, I hospitalized him and left. Until now, he did not know that I was the one who's helping him since then. Ian has always been approached by trouble. I was always on the lookout for him, but I also had to leave to train myself in the family business.   "Nate, it's Ian. Are you inside?"   Is it Ian?

(Ian POV)   "What happened Ker? Where is Natalie?" I immediately asked Kerwyn and helped him carry Nate into the house.   "Calm down. Natalie is fine, don't worry too much." Kerwyn replied and laid Nate down on the bed of the fir staid room.   "How can I calm down if both of your bodies are full of blood?!" I said shaking.   "Well, this is not our blood, okay, so take a grip of yourself and clean Nate. I have to go I know my brothers and Zaneah were so worried about me, so I have to show up to them and tell them I am fine!" Kerwyn said.   "What? But you haven't told me what happened to you yet!"   "I gave the honor to Nate to explain things to you. I know he's the only one who can calm you down. He's the only one who can explain what happened. I'm tired, Nate and I haven't slept last night until now, I miss my bed so, going to go home! He is yours now. "Kerwy

(Ian POV)       When I found out that Dad had died, I did not go home for the funeral. Why would the rejected child go see his father?       Even though he rejected me and abandoned me, I still love him, they are my family but,       After the funeral only in the cemetery do I go?       There I also opened the letter that Rodel gave from Dad.       This letter was dated last year, I have been separated from my family for four years.       After what happened to Zaki and me, they kicked me out and until he died we didn't talk anymore.       In front of dad, I opened the letter.       > My dear child, &nb

(Zaki POV continues)   "What's the fuss about outside? It's early in the morning?" I asked my colleagues. We are in the hideout again. We only enter school at 7 am and 9 am.   I feel not staying in the house, so I always come early.   “Ian Mercado was fighting on the soccer ground,” Scott replied.   I immediately stood up and put on a jacket.   "Hey Zaki, don't say you're going to interfere? Ian has Nate's and Kewyn's favor, don't go get a mess for yourself." Ranz said trying to stop me.   "Follow me if you want to come." I immediately ran to the soccer ground to go to Ian to make sure he's safe.   Nate and Kerwyn are surely not here in Crown this early in the morning. So I will help Ian.   When I got to the ground I saw Ian lying prostrate. The masked men helped him.   Maybe it was Nate's opponen
