Chapter 535 - Revenge 536: Relative

"I know. I'm quite surprised at myself too, but that doesn't matter right now."

"What do you mean "it doesn't matter right now"? Of course, it does matter!" Aaron sighed deeply. He appreciates that Leon is telling him this information first, but his father should be the first to know.

"I didn't tell your father because I want you and Anna to know before you two go on your upcoming mission. Come with me, we're going somewhere, and you'll be surprised. I can promise you that." A grin plastered on Leon's face.

Seeing that grin made Aaron feel uneasy. 'That grin can either be something mischievous or dangerous. I hope it is not one of those two.' Aaron inwardly said.

"Remind me again, why am I included in this mysterious journey, brother?" Early in the morning, Aaron and Leon dragged Ana out of her bed and tells her that she need to come along with them. Anna tried to struggle away from them to go back to her bed, but her brother carried her like a sack. It was such an embarrassing moment, and her drowsiness goes away.

"Leon wants to show us something. Something that he wasn't able to tell our father right away."

"Anna, stop asking your brother too many questions. Once we get there, you will know the answer without even asking." Leon said with a calm look on his face. The closer they get to their location, the more he feels that he will get himself in a heap of trouble once his boss found out about this secret journey of theirs.

"Wherever we're heading, you're gonna get all of us in trouble." It was just yesterday when she promised Kyle that she will get herself into trouble but look at the situation that she is in now. Even if Leon and her brother forced her out, she should have just left them the moment they looked away from her.

'Curiosity is the worse thing!' She inwardly screamed.

"I know, but hey, it's all gonna be worth it." After thinking about what might happen to him and the twins, Leon shrugged it off immediately. There is no point in him to keep thinking about things that might occur when they are already at this point. "Before I forget, I want you two to get yourselves ready. You'll be in shock."

After a long ride towards their destination, they finally arrived. The three of them are now in front of an abandoned building. Both Anna and Aaron stared at the facility with suspicions plastered on their faces.

Leon warned that they would be surprised, but it has exceeded their expectation. They did not expect Leon to bring them to this place. 

"Be honest, Leon. Did you kidnapped someone and place them inside the building?" Anna asked.

"You could say that." After saying that, Leon made the first move to step inside the building while the twins now think that they might have made a big mistake following Leon.

"Brother, whatever the consequences after this, I will blame you for everything." She had a significant relief yesterday from revealing her big secret to Kyle, but now, it seems like Anna will have another big secret because of her brother and Leon.

"B-blame me for everything? Why? I wasn't the only one who forced you here." 

"You're the one who carried me out of my bed." Anna sighed then she followed Leon inside.

As the twins are walking towards where Leon is, they heard Leon talking to someone. From their perspective, it sounded like the person Leon is talking to doesn't seem to be someone who just got kidnapped.

"Leon, I agree to come with you, but I did not expect this kind of treatment. It would be best if you had placed me in some comfortable place to sleep in. Do you have any idea how cold it was last night? Geez!" The twins glanced at that mysterious person, and their first impression of him is what they have not expected.

"Comfortable place? If I put you somewhere luxurious, your damned family will track you down, which could also lead to me. I don't want that to happen." Leon said in a matter-of-fact tone. If this person in front of him doesn't surround himself so much luxury every day, Leon might have considered surrounding him in one, and no one will suspect.

"No, they won't. Those bastards don't give a care about me in the first place, which means they don't know a single thing about me."

"How can you be so carefree? Even if they don't care about you, they can at least search at your expenses in the past and can conclude that you like being surrounded by luxurious things." Just listening to this person word by word is already giving Leon a headache.

Despite being a member of that family, this person is living such a carefree life without facing dangerous situations.

"You don't know that!"

"I do know that!"

Listening to their conversation, Anna and Aaron stood still and tried to figure out what is happening. Thinking back at the conversation they had earlier, they talked about the Ricci family, and they are here because of the Ricci family. Could it be that this unknown person is somewhat related to the Ricci family?

"Leon, what is going here, and who is he?" Anna interrupted, then she stared at the unknown man from top to bottom. He looks young and innocent, but the vibe she gets from him is that he is a dangerous person—a type of person that Anna would want to avoid under any circ.u.mstances.

"This person is-" Leon could not finish his sentence when the person next to him covers his mouth. Leon is annoyed that he did that to him. 'What's wrong with him?!'

"I'm your cousin. Wait. Is the right term? Your mother's cousin is my mother, would that make me your cousin too? Hmm... I should research that. But hey! You don't mind me thinking that you two are my cousins, right? Good!" This so-called cousin of Anna and Aaron kept on talking and talking like there is no end.

Usually, the twins would get annoyed by it and would like to stop this person from talking, but they have been frozen on the spot, and their mind is still in the middle of processing what they had just heard.

'His mother's cousin is my mother?'

'He's from the Ricci family?'

Realizing that there is no reaction from Anna and Aaron, the man stopped talking. He glanced at Leon and asked, "Are they sick? They looked like they're sick. Leon, should we call a doctor?"

Looking at the face he is making and based on his tone, Leon is shocked to know that this man is genuinely worried about the twins.

"Don't worry. They're not sick. They're only in shock at what you just revealed to them. Let's wait a bit more, and they'll react."

~~~

"What's wrong, Kyle? You look like you're in deep thought." Erik came to visit the Robertson household to annoy Kyle, but Kyle is not even batting an eye at him no matter how much effort he puts.

"Don't even bother asking him that, Erik. I already did that, but I got no response. He's been like that ever since he got home from his date with Anna." Lannie said, then she places the snacks and drinks that she brought over on the table. Since Erik is the guest, she puts extra effort into making these snacks. She hopes that he would like it.

"Do you think that they go into a fight and are on the brink of breaking up?" Erik asked.

"If they are, my brother wouldn't be sitting here and doing nothing. You should know by now that he is not about to let go of Anna until his last breath." From how things are going, Lannie cannot imagine a future where Anna and her brother are no longer together.

'Their feelings for each other are strong. This brother of mine might be thinking about Anna, but it's not about them splitting up.'

Erik revealed a forceful smile when he heard that. "Your brother is so possessive. One day, Anna will get tired of him if he keeps being like that."

He knows that Anna is the type of person who does not like being tied down all the time. With Kyle, who is possessive, Erik believes that a specific day will come that Anna will get tired of Kyle.

"Don't speak nonsense, Erik. I may be possessive, but I'm not tying Anna like whatever you are thinking. She is free to do whatever she wants as long as it comes to the point of leaving me." Kyle suddenly spoke, and it almost made Erik choke.

"Kyle! Can't you at least give me a warning?! I almost died!" He angrily said.

"Too bad that didn't happen," Kyle said with a hint of deep disappointment.

"What?! How could you say that to me!"
