"What?! You want to bring our children to that kid's birthday party?!"
The second biggest mercenary group, The Glazier's group leader, Renmaure, almost blew his top at his little lover.
A certain young man under thirty looked at Renmaure with a calm gaze. His pure blue eyes looked innocent yet gentle, no one could possibly get angry at such a person for a long time.
The purple-haired young man didn't say anything, but Renmaure felt his heart softening. He hurriedly hugged the young man and sighed.
"I'm sorry, I was too harsh...but Leroy, don't you think that it's inappropriate?"
Renmaure looked at the little lover that had been with him for more than five years, and he really couldn't harden his heart to do anything to his lover.
If only same-sex marriage were legal in this country, he would have married this young man.
The young man called Leroy was actually close to thirty, but he still had a youthful face akin to a college student.
Leroy hugged Renmaure's huge body and giggled.
"Ren, what are you worried about? It's not inappropriate. I'm her father in a sense, and the twins are her older sister and brother, right? I just want to see her and introduce the twins to her…"
The 'her' here was undoubtedly a certain mafia boss who was only three but already stirred such a huge storm in the mafia society.
Ainsley Sloan.
Renmaure knitted his eyebrows and sighed.
"But you left her when she was three, leaving the family to her. I don't think she will want to see you at her birthday party. We are just strangers to her."
Ren could sympathise with Ainsley. If his son or daughter were in Ainsley's position, he also wouldn't like it.
That poor girl grew up without a father or a mother...and then the father who abandoned her suddenly came back with step-sister and step-brother.
Would she like it? Especially when they came to attend her birthday party!
"Leroy, I don't understand why you insist on having that child and then leaving your family...is it to leave an heir so that you can cut ties with your family?"
Renmaure always thought that Leroy wanted to escape the mafia society. After all, Leroy was kind and gentle. He wasn't suitable to be a mafia boss.
Maybe that's why when they decided to have a child through a surrogate mother, Leroy hid their children's existence for two years before having another child with another surrogate mother.
But that's just too strange, okay? He gets it that Leroy didn't marry a woman to give birth to an heir because he didn't want to cheat on himself.
But to leave such a small child to be the family heir…
Leroy naturally understood Renmaure after knowing him for almost a decade. Renmaure was a typical boorish and crude on the outside but soft on the inside.
He was actually a complete opposite of Leroy.
As an ex mafia boss, how could he be gentle and kind? If he were, he would have long been eaten clean by the branch families.
Leroy squinted his beautiful eyes and tickled Renmaure's neck playfully as he explained.
"Ren, I've always wanted to leave the mafia society, and that's why I don't want our children to be recognised as a mafia family's heir…."
The young man let out a long sigh.
"That's why I have another child with a surrogate mother. As for why I left her when she's still so young...I just feel that the Sloan Family is done for."
But isn't that cruel? If Leroy knew the Sloan Family would continue to decline, why didn't he run away along with the baby?
Before Renmaure could ask, Leroy already squeezed his eyes tightly and spoke in a sorrowful tone of voice.
"I want to take her, Ren. I want to. But the family elders won't let the main family have any heir. The main family doesn't want to give up the authority to the branch family, and that's why they need that child."
Renmaure also understood. The baby was used as a means to keep the main family's prestige while the actual ruler could be anyone else.
Of course, those from the main family would strive to become the baby's guardian so that the power would still fall onto the main family.
The mafia society was really more complicated than the mercenary society.
"...I understand your thoughts, Leroy. But then, why would you want to bring our kids to meet her? Let's just pretend we never know each other?"
Renmaure opened his mouth again but didn't ask what he truly wanted to ask.
'What are you planning, Leroy? Don't tell me you only want a family reunion? I can see that you want our kids to compete with her over the family…'
Leroy naturally understood Renmaure's thoughts even when the muscular man didn't say it. His gaze softened as he coaxed the big guy.
"Look, Ren. I did say I want to leave the mafia society but don't you know that they're still trying to find me up to this day? I just thought that maybe we should come clean to them…"
As if. Renmaure knew that deep down, Leroy still couldn't get over the mafia society. He was a mafia heir and a mafia boss for more than twenty years.
How could he let go of the Sloan Family and choose a mercenary group like the Glazier?
The Glazier was big and powerful but could it compare to a high-ranking mafia family?
No!
The Sloan Family was getting stronger day by day.
Some people believed they would be a part of the new ten high-ranking mafia families after the tournament.
Even Renmaure believed that.
And Leroy precisely wanted this strong Sloan Family.
