Aaron Zain swiftly held his nephew's hands, stopping him from pursuing his friend. "Maintain your decorum,"
"Do I even have that?" Altren rolled his eyes at him.
Zain just intensely glared at him. Subtly, his eyes followed after that runaway figure as well. 'What is his relationship with this brat?'
Some dignitaries came forward and greeted him with a cordial smile.
Aaron just kindly smiled at them. Somehow, his mind was still occupied by that petrified look that young man had on his face. 'If he is really close with Altren, why did he run away as soon as he saw him? Maybe they are not so close after all,'
'Wait was that shyness!!!'
He glanced at his nephew, who was just a few years younger. 'This brat is handsome! They must be in a relationship!!!! Or worse, that young lad might have a crush on him!!!! oh lord, I can't believe this!'
From that scowl to that shiny blond hair He was a splitting image of his elder sister.
Aaron only had one sister who was nineteen years older than him. To be honest, they were not that close.
From the day he was born, his sister scorned his presence, only because he was born a super.
His parents were supers as well. They were widely known all throughout the world. So when they had a normal child, aka his sister, they did not react to it well.
Because of all the harsh criticism she received from her parents, she grew up to be hateful of supers.
Aaron was just a baby, but he understood his sister's thoughts. He learned to stay away from her path and not to disturb her.
When he was a ripe age of eight, his sister married a normal human and had his nephew. Initially, his sister hated Altren to the core.
Her prejudice got the better of her. She tossed the child over to her parents' care and threw herself into work.
Aaron grew up with Altren as siblings. They played together and even learned to use their powers together.
When Aaron was just ten, his parents passed away, leaving everything in their name to him, only giving a few shares to his sister.
While he grew up, his sister took care of the family enterprise. After he was eighteen, she just coldly tossed all the responsibly to him and left to live a secluded life with her husband and her child.
Thrown into a world of business, all of a sudden he was not that prepared. He made a few blunders but somehow, in the line of work, he made a few friends as well.
Suddenly, a few years ago, the child protection agency called him and let him know that his sister and her husband had passed away and their only child needs to be cared for.
He did not think much and took him in. After all, there was only a few years difference in their age.
'Ah, my life is such a mess thanks to this kid,' he glanced at Altren, who kept peering into the crowd searching for Zhu Kang.
"Excuse me.." he excused himself kindly to all the patrons and pulled Altren over to a corner. "Pull yourself together. Why do you keep glancing at the crowd?"
"I just saw a rat scurrying around.." Altren gritted his teeth.
'Rat? So they must have a rocky relationship, but why did he give him a ride then?' Aaron peered at him inquisitively. "That's enough, concentrate. So many reputable Supers of the Mighty light academy have joined us in this party. Keep your chin up and smile."
Altren scoffed. "Uncle, I'm not a good business man as you are and I don't wish to take on any responsibility of this academy as well,"
"it's your mother's academy. In two more years, it will be yours. So learn to manage it when I'm still taking the steering wheel,"
"I don't care. I don't want it. You take it," Altren said, moving away from him.
Aaron just growled. "How can this brat be so irresponsible...." his body heat elevated once again. He pulled at his collar in frustration. "I need a drink.."
He waved at the nearby waiter. The young man who was playing with Zhu Kang came running with a wide smile on his face. "What would you like, sir?"
"Lemonade. Make it bitter with a lot of lemon zest," his golden eyes looked at this young waiter. This was the same kid that was playing with Zhu Kang in that pool.
"Yes, sir!"
Aaron watched him run away with a scowl. 'This kid... is his friend? He was happily playing around in the water.. Their skins touched, they hugged.... shit.. this is getting to my head.'
Suddenly, a young lady stepped in front of him. "Hey Aaron or should I call you mister super Zain. You remember me?"
Aaron just blinked. "Who might this lady be?"
"You forgot?" her expression shifted to a small scowl. Her hands anxiously twirled her flaming red hair as she peered at him. "I'm Clara, super red. We met at the convention last year.."
"ahhh last year.." Aaron nodded. He definitely remembered this girl. She was one of the supers who kept persistently following him so fucking much that he got fed up and left the parties early. 'I might have to leave early this year too..' He thought with slight regret.
He was slightly hoping to meet Zhu Kang once again and having a chat, but it seems impossible now.
Right then the waiter brought a drink.
The young lady took it from his tray and handed it to him elegantly. "Here, your favourite lemonade," she winked at him and licked her cheery red lips.
'Totally not my style,' he took it from her and drank it all in a gulp. "It was really nice meeting you Clara, but I might have to retire for the night. Farewell,"
Clara watched him walk away with a leer. 'I will have you today, Aaron. Wilfully or not you will be mine.' She happily took another drink from the waiter's tray. "Go on then, bring me some lemonade as well,"
Zhu Kang hid in the corner, watching Aaron and Altren moving in a different direction. "thank god I thought that ass will follow me here," he mumbled, hiding behind a marble decorated column.
Suddenly someone hugged him from behind, rubbing his waist with nasty hands. "What do we have here?.."
"um excuse me, if you want to have a straight nose you better let go," he glared back. A burly bald man with a crooked nose smiled at him lewdly. "Okay, I don't think we need to make your nose even more crooked. It might not suit your ugly mug,"
The man giggled, seemingly intoxicated. "Your voice sounds so good." He gripped his waist tightly, rubbing his fingers around lewdly. "I would like to hear you moan my name when I eat you up."
Zhu Kang pushed his hands away. "Sorry guest, the feast is that way. And if you have a delirious kink for eating human, you might want to leave this party. It's just not for you," he griped his hands in a tight grip.
The man seemed startled by his resistance.
"Do you know who I am!"
"no, that's why I am kindly telling you to go. Please don't introduce yourself. I don't wish to know you as well. Good day sir!!" Yue pushed him away even more and walked off to the other serving table.
The man followed after him, panting and grumbling.
'Shit that rhino is following me.. Fuck, I knew having a handsome face was dangerous!' he ran through the crowd hiding behind any big figure he could
Yet still that man sniffed him out like a mole rat..
'Darn it, I really shouldn't have given away my mask. Look at the trouble I have attracted,'
He ran into the corner towards the direction of the reserved room.
The man seemed to be caught up with another woman and they started to talk.
Zhu Kang took this chance to disappear. "Sucker, I really should have broken his nose," he hopped into the elevator and pressed 15.
His resort was 100 stories tall; there was a huge penthouse up top that serves as a guest room for the most luxurious patrons.
The elevator doors started to close.
"Wait! Wa...." a pained voice sounded from outside.
Zhu Kang opened the doors in a hurry. Out stood a flushed looking Aaron. "Oh my god what happened to your face? Did someone punch you?"
"Just close....the door" he leaned against the side of the elevator without a word.
'Shit, why am I stuck with this guy? Ah.' He peered at his perfectly handsome face. 'His face is what you call chiselled. Ah, look at that jaw line. Why don't I have that? I'm handsome yeah but not this handsome...' he glanced at his reflection on the shiny surface of the floor.
"The door!" Aaron's shout caught his attention.
"Sorry," Zhu Kang pressed the button to close it.
Suddenly a well decorated heal appeared in between the door, stopping it from closing. "I have to get on as well," a young red-haired lady hurried in.
She moved close to Aaron and held his arms lovingly. "How can you leave me alone Aaron~" she rubbed her supple boobs on him.
Aaron pushed her away tiredly. "Miss Clare... stays away..." his dilated eyes met Zhu Kang's.
Feeling the heat in his eyes, Zhu Kang blushed a little. 'What was that look for, huh?' he moved away from him.
"Aaron~ hmmm..." that woman started to moan rub up against him.
Zhu Kang frowned. 'Um, girl, that guy is drunk off his ass. Why are you assaulting him? hmm should I intervene?'
He stepped forward hesitantly.
Aaron suddenly moved to him and hugged him close. "Take me to my room." He moaned softly on top of his head.
'Say what now? Your r—room? why.. me?' he held him. His body was so hot, like it was burning up from inside.
Just a small touch made his body shudder in a weird way.
"Aaron! Why are you hugging the servant! Come here," Clare pulled him.
But Aaron tightly clung to Zhu Kang, pulling him along with him.
"whoa! Miss enough pulling!"
"Who are you to tell me what to do! Let go of him, you hoe!" she swung her bag at him.
Zhu Kang ducked, placing his head on his chest. Her small bag hit Aaron's back.
He moaned softly into his ear.
Zhu Kang's legs buckled under him.
"Stop that, miss. You are hurting him,"
"You let go of him!!" she screamed like a banshee, hitting him even more.
"Enough!" Aaron glanced back at her with his eyes glowing golden. "If you don't shut up, you might end up a puddle on the ground,"
Clare stepped back in fear. "This hoe is trying to take advantage of you...I was only trying to help you,"
"I don't need your help!" Aaron shouted before he softly placed his head on the small shoulders. He pressed a random floor. The elevator stopped there. "Get out now,"
"Y—yes..." she glanced at Zhu Kang, biting her lips in anguish.
The elevator started once again. This time it stopped at 15th floor.
"Um, this is my stop." Zhu Kang pushed him away slightly. But Aaron refused to let go of him. "Mister Aaron... can you let go?"
"Umm..." he just mumbled something, nuzzling his head against him.
His soft hair tickled his neck softly. Zhu froze. 'Oh my god. Don't do that!' he pushed his head away.
Aaron glanced down at him. His cold blue eyes had a weird golden shine in them. "Take me to my room."
"Y—yes..."
