"Yusheng!!!"
In a dark warehouse located in a secluded place, two people with similar appearance, but different genders have rushed inside before running straight toward the slender young man standing before the people tied up on the ground.
At the same time, there is a group of people with fierce appearances standing motionless with a dangerous atmosphere around them.
Nevertheless, the slender and younger man was the most dangerous of all in the entire room, particularly when the group of fierce people was showing absolute respect along with almost fanatical gazes toward him.
Such an unusual reaction from a group of dangerous people obviously shows that the young man isn't as simple and innocent as he looks to be, especially from his deceiving, delicate, and exquisite appearance.
"Yusheng, please leave this place at once! It would be dangerous soon since they have already found you!"
Despite the frantic voices of the twin brother and sister who just arrived, the young man named Yusheng has remained calm. Removing his gaze from the tied-up people and turning it towards his two closest friends he is able to trust, a harmless smile has slowly appeared on his face.
And in the slightly dim light of the warehouse, the young man seemed to glow like an angel, especially with those pair of pupils, appearing completely innocent and harmless, which can easily mislead countless people to the doors of death.
However, the heavy gloom between Yusheng's slender eyebrows has completely revealed his true nature.
Especially when what is transpiring in the dimly lit warehouse effectively breaks the haze that seemingly always produces the image of a well-behaved person.
Who would have thought that the famous model college student has such a terrifying and cruel side?
Especially when everyone could see the heavy oppression and gloom in his eyes.
Nonetheless, for the twin brother and sister, they had already discovered the blackened side of their friend a long time ago, while they also had a hand in causing their friend's darkening side, which happened after he accidentally learned of his identity.
"Fu and Shu, I knew that you wouldn't listen to me."
Yusheng has let out a sigh while secretly motioning those people around him to execute the order he had already given them a few hours ago.
So with an extremely calm attitude, Yusheng quietly watched as those people quickly tied up the twin brother and sister, and their smooth actions showed how extremely familiar they are to dealing similarly with other people.
"W-Wait! What are you doing???"
"Yusheng, please don't do this! We can help out!"
Yusheng has completely turned deaf ear to the twin brother and sister's struggles who were making countless excuses to convince him to release them at once, even going so far as to start begging with heartbreaking expressions on their faces after nothing worked out as they wished.
Nonetheless, no matter what happened and even when Yusheng was facing the people he trusted and treated as close friends, his decision did not change one bit, completely showing his ruthless side.
"Yusheng, if you continue with your foolish plan, then we won't fulfill the promise! We won't take care of your Mother and Sister!"
"Yes, we won't do it! Yusheng, release us, and let's work this out together!"
"You won't."
Yusheng has spoken in a simple and calm tone, yet it carried overwhelming confidence, causing Fu and Shu's expression to turn grim while utter despair reflected in their eyes. A similar helpless smile has shown on their identical face.
"... You are really cruel…"
"You know that we will not ignore anything you asked us to do… After all, you already know that we l-lo-!"
"Don't."
A certain emotion finally flashed in Yusheng's eyes before he let out a soft sigh, after all, no matter how they felt for him, he couldn't just feel the same emotion towards them.
Because no matter how good they are, how extremely caring they are, and how determined they are to give everything they have to him, what could he do if his heart just remains unresponsive?
… Love in a romantic way… he has really tried hard to fall in love but there seems to be no existence capable enough to move his heart, at least, he hasn't yet met the person who can make him go crazy.
So, even discovering how the twins are willing to sacrifice their life and giving up everything just for him wasn't enough to make him fall in love.
However, he really likes them as genuine friends he could always count and trust on, so he didn't ignore and disregard them like how he usually does to other people.
"I'm sorry, you can resent, hate, or be angry at me but let me still say this to the two of you, alright? I wish you great happiness and longevity, please forget me."
Honestly, it is really surprising to receive such passionate love from a twin brother and sister, especially even after they already know what kind of person he really is.
"Take them away."
Seeing that it's about time, Yusheng has nodded his head to the four people standing around the twin brother and sister, watching as they knocked them up before swiftly leaving the place, well, not before deeply bowing in his direction.
Although it was an accident that caused Yusheng to start associating with people like them, he didn't regret his decision one bit as he doesn't mind what kind of people they are, as long as they won't betray him.
"Boss, we will forever feel grateful for the kindness you have shown towards us."
"I know. Go now, your family is waiting for you."
"Yes!"
This year, he was only eighteen years old. It's supposedly the time of his youth, full of brilliant dreams, and yet, he was unable to live a peaceful and normal life after learning his identity that his mother had tried to hide.
No… that's wrong…
Ever since the moment he gained consciousness when young, there has always been an unknown heaviness always pressing deep inside his heart. It is an extremely dark emotion that causes him to have an urge to do violence and even have the desire to kill people.
Yusheng wasn't able to feel any genuine peace while he grew up, fortunately, the unusualness wasn't much at the start. It slowly increased as he grew up but then he was able to suppress the dangerous urge.
So, in people's eyes, he has always been a well-behaved guy, a gentle and filial son to his mother, while a thoughtful and caring brother to his younger sister.
When it comes to Yusheng's life, there is a gentle mother who has seriously taken great care of him and loves him despite the difficulties of being a single mother in their early years. Their family grew after his mother married a kind man, leading to the arrival of an adorable younger sister in his life.
Basically a normal warm family, and yet, he couldn't feel contentment and warmth in living such a life, there was always something pressing him down within that hindered him in fully integrating with the world.
As for the reason for Yusheng to mix with dangerous people and even leading him to become their leader.
He once happened to hear his mother discussing with his step-father about what would happen if he was accidentally seen by his biological father, since as he grew up, most of his features seemed to have the exact appearance as his unknown father, albeit on the delicate side.
It was the day when Yusheng felt the hidden oppressive darkness in his heart completely stir up, because he could feel the extreme dread in his mother's voice.
Fortunately, he learned Fu and Shu's true identities which they had personally revealed to him on their own, hoping that he would be tempted to at least try associating with them, which they still failed.
So it didn't take long for Yusheng to find out the identity of his biological father, who happened to be the descendent of a powerful family with a deep association in the underground.
Yusheng could have chosen to ignore everything, hence living a normal life, but the moment he learned about how the man genuinely loves the woman he married, how thoughtful and caring he is towards his children, spoiling them to heaven, he couldn't remain ignorant anymore.
After all, people with their hands full of blood wouldn't remain silent after learning about having an illegitimate child, especially when Yusheng's existence could cause damage to their happily married life.
Also, the husband and wife are quite well-known as ruthless figures, so how can Yusheng remain quiet and leave everything to fate?
People completely immersed in darkness, especially that woman, wouldn't become kind and understanding after learning about his existence.
Which wife would treat the children born from another woman and her husband with kindness?
Yusheng also learned the fact that in his biological father's family, there are still the elders who won't allow any talented illegitimate child to remain outside, especially when skills and talents matter the most in their family.
Everything he learned basically screams of danger, so he couldn't disregard the troubles that could emerge without any warning, particularly when it concerns his family's well-being.
So, after working hard in the dark, desperately building up his power, using all means to become stronger, Yusheng finally managed to build enough strength, power, and influence. It was then that they learned of his existence and were planning to start their move.
Yusheng knows that however cruel and ruthless he can be, or however terrifying cold his heart is, whenever it concerns his family, there is a desperate emotion that always makes him feel breathless at the mere thought of his family in danger.
Although the power he has gained wasn't enough to cause a powerful family with a deep connection in the underworld for generations to be destroyed, he has enough power to remove the main source of troubles in their life.
There is also the fact that he has gotten the help of other powerful people who wanted to deal with or make a mess in the family to which his biological father belongs, hence making his plan of capturing the man's wife and children easier.
At the same time, Yusheng has already sent his family to another country, giving them different identities while the place he has chosen was out of reach of that family's influence.
There is also Fu and Shu who would definitely watch over his family's well being in the dark.
Everything has been meticulously prepared, he has arranged everything he can do with his power, so whatever happens next is something Yusheng can accept, at least, having less regret in life is the principle that he has always followed when making a decision.
There is always an unusual obsession of Yusheng, which is that every person should do everything he or she can while having a few regrets in life.
"Remove the tape blocking her mouth."
As soon as the woman was able to speak, endless begging resounded out in the room. The well-known ruthless and strong woman completely disappeared, only what remained was a desperate woman begging for the lives of her children, completely looking pitiful as desperate sobs shook her body.
And yet, Yusheng doesn't feel any pity, his heart not giving birth even an ounce of mercy because he is sure that when given a chance, these people will be far more ruthless and cruel than him.
From the start, he knew that one can live between them. Soon, the person Yusheng has been waiting for has finally arrived, who looks 80% similar to his own appearance, just leaning more towards the masculine side with a mature atmosphere.
A powerful person can become vulnerable if they have a weakness, and for Yusheng's cruel biological father, the woman and three young men he has tied up are the only weakness this person has.
"I'm here! Please leave my wife and children alone! If you hate me, then please just deal with me and leave them alone!"
"It seems that you have misunderstood something. I don't have any hatred or grievance about you never knowing of my existence."
The entire time, Yusheng has remained calm while a small smile slowly graces his lip, and yet there wasn't any single emotion in his eyes, causing the already matured man's face to become extremely pale while a bad premonition emerged in his heart.
"I would have preferred a quiet and peaceful life with my family but it's you guys who chose to start with a ruthless move. So, how can I allow you guys to fulfill your motives? Since you are so ruthless, then don't blame me for being one too."
While speaking with an eerily calm voice, Yusheng is completely wrapped in heavy gloom while a storm of madness has started to chaotically swirl in his large eyes along with an extremely chilling smile on his breathtaking face.
"Don't worry, I have already cleaned up any evidence that could possibly raise suspicions about any of my relationships. Even if the elders check the entire situation, the clues will only lead them to your family's opponents while I'll become an unidentified person who was just used as a chess piece. After all, I also need to remove all the dangers that could affect my family… even…my own self."
… It seems that the violent and murderous impulse in my heart can no longer easily be suppressed… So I also need to disappear or else, I will only bring trouble and danger to my family.
"N-NO!!!"
"I'll see you guys again in Hell."
… I can choose to live… but there is a feeling that something will completely disappear if I remain alive...
A second later, the explosion of a powerful bomb has resounded loudly, which was so loud that it echoed repeatedly, completely leaving no one alive as the entire area got destroyed.
