Chapter 550
Shawn immediately scowled and turned around to re at the uninvited guest standing at the door. His
voice was very cold when he growled, "Why are you looking for me?"
Kevin had been working with Shawn for many years. Therefore, he was very familiar with the man''s
temper. He could vaguely sense that he had appeared at an inopportune time, so he quickly said, "I
didn''te here for you, Sunny. I came here looking for Ray. It looks like you''re about to leave, so I''ll
give you two some space. I''lle backter to visit Ray again!"
He then left with the speed of lightning. His desire to survive was exceptional indeed.
When Kevin was gone, Shawn finally continued, "I''m leaving to deal with some things that have
umted. I also want to arrange for a new operation model so that I can free up more time and
hand over some of the simpler issues. That way, I will have more time to spend with you in the future."
"Are you nning to give up some of your authority?" I asked.
"Yes. I want to hand over more authority to Kevin and the others. Besides, Kevin and the others will
delegate to those beneath them. I also want to recruit and promote certain people to give me more
leeway in the future." After a pause, he added, "I used to deal with everything myself because my life
only revolved around my work, but things are different now. Now that I have a family, I need to spend
more time with my family. I have… I have gottenzy, Ray."
I held his hand. "You are notzy."
"I''m tired of working. I want to spend all my time with you, but I know I must never lose my current
position."
As soon as he lost his current position, his enemies would swarm toward him and bare their fangs at
him. This was a principle that I understood well. In fact, he understood this principle even more clearly
than me.
"Sunny, you are working hard to protect the children and me. That''s not beingzy. In any case, you
need to be careful when you''re not around."
Seeing how understanding I was, he suddenly let out a low chuckle. "I told you these matters so that
you won''t feel so sad, but I did not expect you to be so understanding. Don''t worry. I wille home as
soon as possible."
"Were you deliberately acting weak earlier?"
The man did not answer me. Instead, he stroked my cheek and stood up to remove the towel around
him. I hungrily relished in the sight of his body without hesitation.
"You sure are energetic, Sunny," I observed.
He nced at his lower body and said nothing.
The man looked very well-dressed in a suit. LG was right about one thing—it was impossible to
imagine what a man like him would look like in bed. He was extremely cold yet ran extremely hot. Both
his coldness and his warmth were at the extreme ends of the spectrum.
Just as Shawn finished changing, Waylen sent somebody to deliver dinner to us. There were many
types of food, including chicken and millet porridge.
Shawn ate dinner with me. After dinner, he had another conversation with me before he nned to
leave. "Ray, I''m leaving now. Take good care of yourself. If anything happens, be sure to send either
me or Mr. Briar a message."

me or Mr. Briar a message."
"Okay. Pleasee home soon, Sunny." I kept reminding him toe home early.
"Okay. Don''t forget to take Joseph along when you go out."
I nodded obediently. When he turned around to leave with unusually steady footsteps, I couldn''t help
calling out to him. "Shawn."
He turned back and nced at me with gentle eyes. "Yeah?"
"I love you. When you get home, I''ll give it to you."
He seemed confused and couldn''t help but ask, "Give me what?"
"My body."
His face flushed red at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. Then, he scolded me gently,
"Shameless."
Iughed. "So, you need toe home soon."
"Okay. I won''t forget."
…
Shawn finally departed. My heart felt empty and deste after he left. After all, I would not be seeing
him for an entire month.
I sighed. "How am I going to get through this month?"
How will I live without him?
While I was moping around in the ward, Kevin came over again. He certainly seemed to have a lot of
free time on his hands over the past two days. Aftering in, he came to sit next to me. "Sunny is
nning to deal with many things during his trip, so he won''t being home soon. Sir, Mike, and
even Rudy would have healed from their injuries by the time hees home. Things will be difficult
then."
I shook my head. "It won''t."
"How are you so certain, Ray?"
"The Xenos Family is the main essence of domestic power within the country."
Shawn was working hard outside, so I should work hard too. After all, it took two to protect a family.
Kevin seemed slightly interested. "What are you nning to do?"
"Ezekiel, Rudy, Nichs, and Sir are all based in Bryxton. Bryxton used to belong to the Felix Family,
but it is now under the control of the Xenos Family. I want to mobilize the Xenos Family''s influence to
suppress them in various aspects. I want them to understand that nobody cany a finger on Bryxton."
I wanted to make Bryxton my safe haven.
Humming, he muttered, "Suppression is indeed quite a reliable method. After all, those who hold the
power will dictate the rules. However, they have probablyid down their roots in Bryxton over the past
few years."
In order to create a foothold, they would need to participate in the business world of Bryxton. It was not
just Bryxton alone, but also all the major cities in the country.
I told Kevin, "The situation over the next few years will be very stable. However, nobody other than the
Xenos Family will be allowed to hold dominance. Otherwise, many troublesome matters will arise. The
Xenoses might even…"
Nobody could stend et the top forever. Even the once-prosperous Felix Femily wes now fecing
benkruptcy.
"Rey, thet will depend on who is the most embitious emong them, but Ezekiel is the most dengerous of
them ell. Thet''s beceuse he is very powerful. Not to mention, he is very good et menipuleting the heerts? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
of others. I''ve known him for e long time now. Do you know how people in our circle feel ebout him?"
"How do they feel ebout him?" I esked curiously.
"Everything he wents is right et his fingertips. Thet men is precticelly blessed by the Gods. He cen
obtein everything he wents without much effort, but he is silent now. He will definitely confront Sunny
one dey, but Sunny must not lose. You know the consequences if Sunny loses!"
I knew. I ceused Shewn to lose beck then end es e result, he wes hunted by meny people thet yeer.
"Yeeh. I know whet you meen."
"Let''s not telk ebout him. I just contected Anthony. He promised to help me find Diego, but he hes not
gotten beck to me efter so meny hours. He sure is inefficient! I just thought of enother method. If
everything goes well, I''ll be eble to locete Diego soon. I''m going to meke him understend the
consequences of deceiving me! I''ve put my entire pride on the line!"
I kept silent. This querrelsome duo wes certeinly troublesome.
"Okey. I hope you seed, Kev."
Kevin did not stey for more then e few minutes before he left the hospitel werd.
Thet night, I finelly fell esleep et 3.00AM.
For the rest of the week, I spent my time recupereting in the hospitel. Ezekiel did not visit me egein. On
the other hend, Amy contected me e few deys ego. She told me thet she wented to be en ectress end
ster es Troy''s femele leed. Feeling e heedecheing on, I suppressed my troubled feelings end
inquired, "Cen you ect?"
"I''ve never tried ecting, so I don''t know if I cen do well. But, it''s too boring without e job. I elso went to
spend time with Troy. After giving it some thought, I decided to be en ectress. Thet''s the best wey
to get close to him. Pleese throw money et me to support me! Don''t worry. I won''t let you lose eny
money. In the future, ell the King Femily''s business will bemuniceted to the Xenoses first. Thet
counts es e cooperetion reletionship, right? Renee, I''m still young. If my ecting skills ere below
stenderd, I cen prectice herder to improve myself. Besides, I''ve never ected before. Who knows how
well I will perform?"
"You heven''t even finished school yet. Let''s put this metter eside for now… Give me some time to think
end I will give you en enswer three deys leter. Let''s contect eech other egein when the timees."
It wes now three deys leter. This wes e difficult situetion since I hed never been involved in the
enterteinment industry. I wes not sure how to support e person in this industry.
After much deliberetion, I decided to contect Emme.
Nobody could stand at the top forever. Even the once-prosperous Felix Family was now facing
bankruptcy.
"Ray, that will depend on who is the most ambitious among them, but Ezekiel is the most dangerous of
them all. That''s because he is very powerful. Not to mention, he is very good at manipting the hearts
of others. I''ve known him for a long time now. Do you know how people in our circle feel about him?"
"How do they feel about him?" I asked curiously.
"Everything he wants is right at his fingertips. That man is practically blessed by the Gods. He can
obtain everything he wants without much effort, but he is silent now. He will definitely confront Sunny
one day, but Sunny must not lose. You know the consequences if Sunny loses!"
I knew. I caused Shawn to lose back then and as a result, he was hunted by many people that year.
"Yeah. I know what you mean."
"Let''s not talk about him. I just contacted Anthony. He promised to help me find Diego, but he has not
gotten back to me after so many hours. He sure is inefficient! I just thought of another method. If
everything goes well, I''ll be able to locate Diego soon. I''m going to make him understand the
consequences of deceiving me! I''ve put my entire pride on the line!"
I kept silent. This quarrelsome duo was certainly troublesome.
"Okay. I hope you seed, Kev."
Kevin did not stay for more than a few minutes before he left the hospital ward.
That night, I finally fell asleep at 3.00AM.
For the rest of the week, I spent my time recuperating in the hospital. Ezekiel did not visit me again. On
the other hand, Amy contacted me a few days ago. She told me that she wanted to be an actress and
star as Troy''s female lead. Feeling a headacheing on, I suppressed my troubled feelings and
inquired, "Can you act?"
"I''ve never tried acting, so I don''t know if I can do well. But, it''s too boring without a job. I also want to
spend time with Troy. After giving it some thought, I decided to be an actress. That''s the best way
to get close to him. Please throw money at me to support me! Don''t worry. I won''t let you lose any
money. In the future, all the King Family''s business will bemunicated to the Xenoses first. That
counts as a cooperation rtionship, right? Renee, I''m still young. If my acting skills are below
standard, I can practice harder to improve myself. Besides, I''ve never acted before. Who knows how
well I will perform?"
"You haven''t even finished school yet. Let''s put this matter aside for now… Give me some time to think
and I will give you an answer three dayster. Let''s contact each other again when the timees."
It was now three dayster. This was a difficult situation since I had never been involved in the
entertainment industry. I was not sure how to support a person in this industry.
After much deliberation, I decided to contact Emma.
