"They're adopted now because the Ji family's child has gone missing."
"Looks like Miss Elena was claiming to be that person's real child"
"Tsk, it's a shame. Such a big family has to fall into such a state..."
A large group of lazily gossiping "Shh! Boss is coming" quickly rallied.
They all looked at their master's face.
The mask was a silver color, with a small diamond carved into the corner of his right eye. If the mask was removed, there would be a mole on the skin in the same place on the side of the mask where the diamond was located. It wasn't me, it was just a speck from when he became a vampire.
It was playing red.
The mask on his face was specially designed for him. It covered half of his face like an opera mask. Therefore, he could smoke comfortably.
The mask covered his face diagonally. His left face was slightly exposed. Although the other half of his face was open, it was covered with white hair so no one could see exactly what he looked like.
Still, the red eyes were really interesting.
His white hair was too bright and lively to be dyed. Red eyes were too beautiful to be a fake lens.
When their boss stopped, they all came to their senses and lowered their heads.
Damn, they're immersed in this beauty again!
How can they feel that she is beautiful even with a mask, even if her face is not visible?
(Author: I didn't click +Sss for anything, it stopped traffic a few episodes ago, hahaha)
"Everybody clear this place, there's something wrong!" The sudden order made everyone jump and quickly comply. They can't count how many times their lives were saved by their master's keen insight.

"Son? Are you hungry?" Elena entered the room with a smile. The boy in the bed was speechless, his eyes twitching.
In the other room, Hofan and Rance were staring at each other in silence.
"How long will this situation continue?" Rance slumped in the chair.
One year was already enough to make him look old enough.
Ever since Elena Yun left, her condition had worsened. Eventually, it became a problem that went from not eating to fainting. She grew weaker, her skeleton visible, showing no trace of her beauty.
When she was taken out for the better, she finally followed up with a boy. "This is it!Yun!" After saying that, she never left the child by holding back her stubbornness.
An agreement was signed with the child for a short time so that it would not collapse further. He would act like his son.
But this cannot go on forever, Yun must be found soon.
Neither Hofan nor Rance was any better than they were a year ago.
On the other hand, Huai Nanren was in a strange situation. He fell into such a situation that he can't even imagine.
It was at the corner of the dark and empty street until yesterday. Now, for a short time, he is the "false" prince of the Ji family.
Who does not know the Ji family, which is one of the 5 big families?
If someone had told him what was going to happen to him a few days ago, he would have chased that person with a stick.
But now it has happened.
"I'm not hungry" Huai Nanren couldn't help but feel distressed as he stared at the woman.
"Okay," Elena energetically brought the tray back inside.
As Huai Nanren leaned against the soft bed, she silently looked at the room that had been cleared for her.
He was an orphan.
He does not know his mother or father. He's been in the orphanage since he opened his eyes. The sudden maternal affection made him awkward.
Especially when he's not even his real son.
Huai Nanren couldn't help but wonder about the boy she was replacing.
As everyone knows, Yun, the prince of the Ji Family, was a stillborn child. Still, the family was mocked and desperately tried to keep his body alive.
It can even be said that the Ji Family became a laughingstock for this reason.
But the boy's sudden awakening shocked the entire city.
He disappeared less than a day after he woke up.
Some said he was kidnapped, some said he was killed. But now that he was here, he knew it was a note left by the boy.
The note should have been suspicious.
How can someone who has just opened their eyes know how to write?
But there was proof, the boy cut off his hair after he wrote it in front of the cameras and disappeared.
He stumbled upon one of the recordings on the camera and was shocked. That person was too good to be true.
He lowered his gaze to his hands.
The scars sent him into the past. A couple who came to adopt him from the orphanage...
The woman raised him as her child.
Her husband also acted like his father.
However, these two people died in a car accident.
Even though he was adopted, his assets were left to him as their only child. Therefore, his father's brother and uncle adopted him. His step-uncle was a drunk and unemployed man. The number of exploits made by him was not small.
These scars are from that time.
He was still living with his uncle until yesterday.
Until yesterday Miss Elena had the illusion that he was her son.
The Ji Family decided to sign a small business deal with him. He should have treated Elena like his mother for a while.
It wasn't until Ji's boss came straight to his door that he didn't realize the seriousness of this business. As soon as Ji Hofan saw him, he realized his situation and immediately contacted the police and reported his uncle. Even when his uncle was arrested and taken away, he had the illusion that it was a dream.
But it wasn't.
It wasn't a dream, and now she had a cozy bed. She thought of that boy again as she closed her eyes.
The kid who ran away from home was several years older than him.
Yun.
The boy who disappeared without a trace for 1 year.
Is he alive? Was it good or bad? It was cold outside, did he have a warm bed too?
He was in the boy's place now when he should have been frozen in that broken wooden house. So where was the boy?
What condition was she in when she took his warmth?
***
A cold winter night.
"Evacuate the base!" The night was dense, snowflakes were slowly being blown away.
January 15th.
Compared to the calmness in the city, the atmosphere in a certain area was quite lively.
"Boss? Boss!"
"Where is the boss?"
The shouts were intertwined.
"He's dismantling the bomb!"
"What?!"
While the base was evacuated, a calmly crouching man remained. He had a machine that had been broken into pieces.
After the entire base was evacuated and everyone cleared, the bomb was dealt with.
This doesn't remember how many attempted murders this month.
"It's over" The environment fell into silence.
The environment is quieter than ever before.
The sense of emptiness inside him was more evident than ever before. Tired, very tired.
His mental energy seemed to be running out with each passing time. He doesn't know how many times he had the thought of giving up.
The sound of the "plug" gun.
The alert hand calmly pointed at his body from behind. Yun squinted his eyes, careless.
He was distracted.
"Get up," the woman's voice was heard.
She slowly stood up. After all, she was human and not immortal. No matter how strong he is, he can suppress the acceleration of the bullet coming toward him with his power, but he cannot stop it. That's why she was stopping with her fingernails.
Now the pistol was pressed directly against his back, towards his heart. He could say goodbye to this world as soon as the trigger was pulled.
"We're going outside, don't make any sudden moves or you'll die" the voice was brutal.
It was all he heard as he lost consciousness.
