As the other part of the world is currently celebrating of a joyous and momentous occasion, some people did not know how to even smile.
Take for example, the brooding figure of Kyler gripping the papers he's currently holding because of a call he hated to receive even so, he did not have any choice but to answer it.
The call was from his benefactor. The one who named him Kyler King and the one who changed his entire being.
He's been grateful because he was saved by the man but the man has been nagging him about getting married. Although he's not getting any younger and he's about to turn thirty four this year, he was in no shape to get married because of his revenge.
He could not afford to find love with the hate he's been carrying for almost twenty years and he's in no shape to love someone just like that.
Of course, he still believe in love and he's not gonna marry out of compliance and out of blind dates and such. It was one of the things he hated to do in country X.
The other man that is not in the mood to be happy was none other than his brother, Lyndon who in this moment is facing his subordinates for a brainstorming activity.
He wanted to fish out some brilliant ideas to use for his retaliation but all they had was ideas that were not brilliant and it made our handsome male lead to fume in anger.
Who could blame him? There was only 9 days before Christmas and he will not be able to celebrate it with his family if this goes on.
"Anything, anyone?" he asked for how many times already but it seemed that these people inside this very room had no ears.
He slammed the table down and wanted to walk out from that irritating scene but it is important to draft his plans beforehand.
Then suddenly, Arthur, spoke with a trembling voice.
"Sir... I... I... have an idea..."
"What is it? Better be a good one or I'll cut your pay into half!" Lyndon roared. He had no time for child's play.
"Well, Sir since Kyler King wanted to partner with us, how about we accept it and then we will find some loopholes in their company to exploit?" Arthur wanted to back down after hearing his boss' threat but he had to be with his family during that time too and he had more work in his hands already. He wanted to cry but no tears could be shed.
Lyndon sighed and ma.s.saged his throbing forehead and the other hand is angled in his waist as he walk to and from in front of them.
"Finally! Someone had used their brain! Are you all became rustic?"
as Lyndon asked this, he walked back to his table and sat as he stared at the people across him with scrutinizing eyes.
His eyes were sharp enough to shake their souls to the core. Some of them bowed their heads because of shame and some of them wanted to back out because of the immense pressure but who could be so daring to do that infront of this demi-G.o.d?
It was only Arthur who looked smug because he had drank enough liquid courage to voice out his idea but then all his smugness dissipated when Lyndon looked at him sharply.
After a few hours in the hot seats, they were dismissed by their boss.
Lyndon was left alone in the huge and towering building of Lincoln Corporation. Many of their operations were transfered to the Lewis Empire in country A and only the technical team was left in the building to man it.
In the vast office he had, he only felt emptiness as he recalled the price for asking his maternal grandfather for his help.
As much as he did not want to call for his help, but at that time he was still powerless and he did not have an ounce of strength and ability to protect his family from any form of harm.
He had to bargain for his soul to the devil before he rised up from his own feet. The devil meant to his maternal grandfather, who was the one who wanted him to succeed after his business in the Underworld.
Truthfull, he was tempted to be his successor, granting that the old man had extended his hand just to help Leo get out from that nightmarish day.
But he pa.s.sed the chair to Leo and he just helped him subdue his enemies before handing everything to his brother.
Leo accepted everything in the silver platter and did not have any idea that it was him who helped him get that kind of power he have now.
And he's confident that, he could make him miserable if he harms any of his family.
As he was the one who got that power, he has the ability to make it disappear in his hands.
