"You can discuss it with other researchers, I want potion X not to suppress my mysterious power but absorb it so I can control it."
Yasmin nodded. "Okay, I'll try. The construction for the laboratory this time should be much faster."
"But don't forget your responsibility as head of the intelligence division. The Eclipse is still alive and there are still many dangers lurking, so don't let your guard down."
After chatting for a bit, Ryan turned off their video call and thought about Golge's words earlier. He could not help but feel worried. The man could only hope that the Alkonost Ordo could find his whereabouts quickly.
....
The sun was rising and the birds were singing, Ryan opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
In an instant, he realized that he was alone on the bed. Apparently, Irina had got up early and left him. It seemed like he should give her the family punishment for leaving him quietly.
Ryan shook his head as he laughed and decided to wake up. However, the fragrant air entered his nose. It looked like Irina's scent still stuck to his clothes.
To be honest, Irina was the type of person who went to sleep early and woke up early. She always put her health first, so she paid close attention to her sleeping time. After all, sleeping made a woman more beautiful.
This was probably the answer to why it's better to have sex in the morning than at night. However, Ryan rarely did it in the morning. Most of the time, Irina always woke up before him so it's a shame he couldn't make a mess out of to start his day.
After getting out of bed, Ryan was about to wash his face. He then noticed that there were a towel and a toothbrush on the table. This little attention made Ryan's heart warm, his wife really cared for him.
Whistling and shaking his ass, Ryan brushed his teeth and washed his face happily. When he was done, he went downstairs and prepared to have breakfast.
"Wow, I see you're already happy in the morning. What's the good thing, young man?" Mrs. Susan smiled and brought breakfast to the dining table.
"Nothing special ma'am," Ryan said with a smile. "Do you think I'm getting more handsome?"
"Of course, you're getting more handsome by day son. You and young Miss are really perfect together as a couple and I think you two are destined to be together," the old maid said with a smile.
"I am glad to hear that," Ryan said with a laugh, he didn't think that Mrs. Susan could praise him that way.
After breakfast, Ryan left the house. Since he had no money at hand, Ryan had no other choice but to head to the office. But he enjoyed his morning walk by walking slowly and enjoying this leisure time. Arriving in front of the building, he checked the clock and found that it was only 08.55 am, so there was still 5 minutes for him.
Ryan sighed, he was originally lazy to come early like this.
The man then walked towards the elevator, looking reluctant while the other employees ran to their room for fear of being late.
When Ryan reached the front lobby, he noticed a crowd of people in black suits at the entrance. If counted, about 20 people were seen waiting silently at the entrance to the lobby.
The employees on the building couldn't help but be curious about them, what were they doing here?
Ryan watched the crowd from afar and frowned, those people must be after him.
But how could he be sure?
His previous experience with the Andromeda company and its boss Pablo made him realize that if there was a mob, almost 90% of them were looking for him.
However, why would Ryan be afraid of small flies like them?
When he passed them, someone from the line of black coats suddenly clapped his hand. Then the rest of his guests in black suits divided themselves into 2 and made way for Ryan while screaming at the same time.
"Good morning, eldest brother!"
Everyone then bowed together!
Ryan's face really looked confused.
Eldest Brother?
What were they talking about?
Ryan had absolutely no recollection of accepting this many people or considering them his underlings after he returned to Indonesia.
Moreover, they were so weak, so how could he possibly make them his gang?
Ryan was silent for a while, he didn't know what to do.
All the employees in the front lobby were equally surprised, they stared confusedly at him. They already knew about his legend in this office, but they did not think that Ryan would actually have men working for him like this.
Then, from the direction of the men in black came a voice, "Your greetings did not touch our eldest brother's heart at all, repeat it one more time! This time, your voices should be louder, more compact and more sincere!"
"Greetings, eldest brother!"
This time, the 20 of them bowed and greeted Ryan in a louder voice than before.
At this moment, everyone became curious about what was really going on.
"Are you kidding? Your voices are so insincere and lackluster! Repeat one more time and this time use your whole heart to greet the eldest brother!"
"Good morning, eldest brother!"
They kept repeating it several more times, and finally Ryan realized who their leader was. It turned out to be Mikhail, the young man he helped from the kidnappers.
"Stop!"
Ryan could not stand this nonsense anymore and walked over to Mikhail. The young man himself immediately looked proud and said to Ryan, "Brother, are you happy with my welcome?"
"Are you drunk or something?" Ryan looked at Mikhail in confusion, this incident really made no sense to him. If this kid weren't drunk then he had no other explanation.
"It's my duty as a brother to greet his brother," Mikhail said aloud. "So I've come today to pay respects to you."
"Since when did I become your brother?" Ryan frowned. "When did I agree to become your brother?"
"Brother, don't say that. From the day we first met, I felt a very strong bond between us. From that day on, I realized that we were meant to be together! Brother, don't worry, from today on, I will follow you wherever you go even if we pass through mountains and hell!" Mikhail patted his chest.
Ryan took a deep breath. If his feelings were to be explained in words, there would only be one word for Mikhail— mad.
The man simply didn't want to get involved with Mikhail's delusions and walk through them. However, Mikhail swiftly followed Ryan from behind. "Brother, I really want you to acknowledge me as a younger brother. I'm really serious!"
But Ryan ignored him. He didn't say a single word in reply.
Mikhail then quickly gestured for his subordinate. The 20 men in black suits then walked following Ryan while shouting. "Make way for the eldest brother!"
Anyone who got on the way would immediately face pairs of terrifying glares and the intimidating aura from the line of men in black suits.
In an instant, everyone was afraid of Ryan, who was already mysterious in their minds from the start. When they saw this incident, they were increasingly convinced that Ryan was a gangster.
Ryan suddenly stopped walking. Walking behind him, Mikhail did not stop. He walked forward and joined in paving the way for Ryan.
"Get your people out of the building first," Ryan said with a sigh.
"Hey, did you hear? Eldest brother wants you to get out of here!" Mikhail said to his men. The twenty of them immediately ran out of the building.
"Do you need anything?" Mikhail asked with a pleaser look.
Seeing Mikhail's face, Ryan could not contain his anger.
"Tell me what's your reason to come here and why do I have to acknowledge you as a little brother?" Ryan asked with a serious face. "I can't recognize someone I don't even know at all,"
Mikhail laughed and scratched his head. "To be honest, I couldn't get the eldest brother out of my head ever since we first met,"
When the words were finished, Ryan was already 3 meters away from him. He said to Mikhail with a wary eye, "Are you gay?"
Gay?
Mikhail frowned, why was he considered gay? 'I'm a normal person and I like beautiful girls!'
After convincing Ryan several times, this misunderstanding was finally resolved. Moreover, after hearing Mikhail's explanation further, Ryan already understood why that young man was pursuing him in such a way.
This made Ryan shake his head. Even though Mikhail was the son of a rich and kind hearted man, he could not get away from his father's political opponents so he sought a shelter that could protect his life.
"So what are your reasons?" Ryan asked.
"To be honest..."
