"UNCLE NATHAN!!"
The screams of Aster echoed throughout the white room. Making the room want to not want to look at the origin of the sound. He saw the arrival of his stepdaughter.
Nathan closed his laptop and got up from his seat. "What's wrong? Why are you yelling?"
"Uncle, why has Uncle never been honest with me? Why did you have to hide such a big secret from me? Why would Uncle never say if Uncle was such a respected and feared Mafia Boss?"
Although only a glimpse. Surprise was evident on Nathan's face. In his mind he wondered where Aster could find out the secret he had been desperately covering up.
"Where did you know that? Who told you?"
"It doesn't matter who told me, Uncle just needs to tell me the truth. Why does Uncle have to become a Mafia and get involved in the criminal underworld?"
Nathan sighed heavily. "What do I really need to say to you? I don't have a reason for anything else that I should explain to you!! You just need to focus on your education, don't interfere too much with adult affairs. Uncle doesn't like it!!"
Aster bit his lower lip. His head immediately shrunk when he saw the sharp look of Nathan that looked so terrible, even though only from his left eye alone, it was more than enough to make Aster feel the test of guts.
"Wetting where have you been? Why did the clock just come home? And your clothes, why is there an alcoholic smell on the clothes you're wearing?"
"I'm looking for the guy who got Tiffany in the hospital, and it turns out that bastard was at the nightclub,"
"And you're looking for him there?!" Nathan interrupted Aster's words.
The girl nodded. "Yes, I went there." Answer allowed.
Nathan growled while rubbing his face rough. "Aster Xiao, is there another time I should warn you not to go to such a place?"
"Do you not know what danger you will face when you set foot there? That place is not for underage girls like you!!"
"I'm a big boy, Uncle. I've even been 20." The answer was half-murmuring.
"And that doesn't mean I have to let you come to a place like that!! It's late at night, you better get back to your room!!" Pinta Nathan is suing.
"Good, Uncle."
.
.
.
Aster just kept grumbling indistinctly. Various swearing came out of his mouth, and all he showed to whom else if not Nathan.
The girl was really upset half-dead at her foster father. How can Nathan even nag him all out.
Though his initial intention was that he would nag Nathan for not being honest with him. But what happened was the opposite. And worse yet, Aster did not even twitch at all.
"YOU TWO GET OUT OR I THROW YOU GUYS OUT THE WINDOW!!" aster shouted as he realized the arrival of an uninvited guest in his room.
The figures of Gavin and Rio were seen coming out from his hiding place. Gavin scratched his non-itchy nape. While Rio raised his hand, and his finger formed the letter V.
"What are you doing under the table?" Ask Aster on both.
"We were playing hide-and-seek with Grandma, Grandma who was guarding and we were hiding. That's why we're hiding in." Gavin explained.
Aster grunting. A snare landed smoothly on the heads of the two youths. "Grandmother, Grandchild is the same great-grandchild. Equally crazy!!" Grunts Aster sneered. "Get out, I'm gonna take a shower." Aster drove the two away and asked them to come out.
"All right."
.
.

After removing all the cloth attached to his body, Aster went into the bathtub making the water in it a little spilled.
Aster wants to release the fatigue that mounts his chest and head by soaking, perhaps that way he can sink all his frustration and sadness into the bathtub.
Not to forget he also prepared some aromatherapy candles that he arranged on the edge to further relax his muscles and mind.
Both of Aster's previously closed eyes, instantly opened as he heard the footsteps of someone who came. Aster looked back, he saw the shadow of the person hiding behind the curtain.
Aster quickly swept the towel that was on his right side, then scaled at his body.
Grepp's...
Aster held back a dagger that pointed at him. He pulled the bathroom curtain then kicked the person who tried to attack him by kicking his chest.
Plakkkp...
But the man managed to prevent Aster from opening the fabric. As much as possible he retaliated against Aster's indiscriminate attacks.
Many times Aster launched his attacks at the vital point of the person. And of course Aster is no match.
Not running out of Intellect, Aster clawed at the neck and arms of the person to give a trace. Because that way, he could instantly recognize her when he met her.
Aster let the mysterious woman go. But shortly after he almost fell because the woman managed to injure his left shoulder. The scar of a sharp object was clearly visible on his shoulder.
His eyes narrowed and one hand grabbed his injured shoulder. "That damn woman. Just look and wait, I will definitely find you!!"
Aster undoes his intention to soak and walks out of the bathroom. The girl went out of her room and went to Nathan's room, because the medicine box was there.
BRAKKKIS....
"ASTER!!" Nathan is shocked to see Aster coming in covered in blood. Nathan approached the girl and carried her to the sofa.
"What happened to you? Why are you getting hurt like this?" Nathan asked for an explanation.
"There's an intruder in my room. He's hiding in the bathroom. And when I was about to take a shower, that guy attacked me immediately." Said explained.
"Then do you know who that guy is?" Nathan asked.
Aster shakes. "I don't know, Uncle. Because he wears a head covering and loose clothing. So that his posture and body shape is difficult to recognize. I left wounds on his neck and arms."
"Later we'll take care of that guy's problem. The most important thing is that we treat your wounds first." Aster nodded.
After treating the injured shoulder Aster. Nathan went to the girl's room to get her a change of clothes. Not until 5 minutes Nathan returned with a flower-patterned dress half-sleeve.
"God..." Aster grimaced in pain as he was about to insert his left arm into his dress arm.
"I'll help you. Just slow down." Aster nodded.
Aster successfully wears his dress with Nathan's help. "Uncle, who are you, trying to attack me? Could it be one of the three of them?"
Aster shakes. "But I don't think it's possible because they're hurt. Never mind to fight, stand properly they are not capable. Then who?"
"Uncle will investigate, and Uncle will not let go of that person after finding him. You better take a break."
"But here. I want to sleep in this room with, Uncle." Whine Aster pleading.
Nathan grunts amusedly. And he had no choice but to accept it. Because it is forbidden Aster will still force, considering how hard his head is.
"Well, you can sleep here."
.

The night is getting late. Nathan is still awake. He never sleeps. There were many things that disturbed his mind, one of which was about the incident experienced by his adopted daughter.
Nathan was very curious as to who was trying to harm Aster. Moreover, there is no CCTV there so it will be a little difficult to find it.
Nathan got out of his bed and stood in front of the window, sliding and opening the window wide, allowing a cool night wind to blow into the room.
The man reached into the front pocket of his open-sleeved shirt, he took out a pack of cigarettes and a fire bat with dragon motifs from it, took one and ignited it.
The finger of his right hand pulled down the black-robed object that was almost 2 Weeks attached to his right eye. The eye is already looking fine, just not able to adapt to the light or sunlight.
Nathan's right eye often throbbed pain every time exposed to light, be it the light or the sun. That's why he keeps it closed during the day and releases it when going to sleep.
Since his right eye was injured, Nathan has never used lighting while sleeping. He only relied on the slightly dim moonlight.
Nathan lit a favorite mint-scented cigarette and took a long sip, savoring the sweet taste of nicotine on his lips.
The puff of cigarette smoke was exhaled so favorably from his mouth and nostrils, the cursed thing had indeed become opium for Nathan long ago.
And just by smoking a cigarette, he could restore his peace of mind when it was chaotic.
"Whoever you are, wherever you hide. I will definitely find you!!"
