BOYFRIENEMIES

SEAN

It's nothing new if Ethan Zie gives a job without a care for time. You could say maybe the time limit for working on Ethan is until the apocalypse arrives.

Like tonight, it's past midnight, just on a phone call, he gave orders to his assistant, Sean.

Sean, a tall man with a stiff face, his complexion pale like there was not a drop of blood flowing in his body, his jaw sharp as the look of his eyes, he was very fond of dark dress, he was very fond of dark clothes, none of her clothes were brightly colored. Except for the red string bracelet wrapped around his left hand.

His eyes were a clear blue, as clear as a frozen grain of dew, and his hair was as white as snow in early winter as were his eyebrows and eyelashes.

Sean doesn't like to wander around during the day, he prefers to do his job at night, especially if it's midnight. Like tonight.

Not without reason, being born as an albino makes it very sensitive to sunlight. She always wears long clothes and gloves when traveling during the day, as well as sunglasses to cover her sensitive eyes.

People who do not know him may think he is a strange person, wearing thick clothes in summer and wearing thin clothes in winter, his body seemed to be upside down recognizing the two very opposite weather.

Being born albino does not mean Sean is limited to doing anything, his body is thin and looks very weak, but believe me he is stronger than he looks.

If I hadn't met Ethan 12 years ago, maybe Sean wouldn't have lived until now.

Sean was born in a remote village on a mountain that is still underdeveloped the problems of modern civilization.

The villagers believed that the albino-born child was a misfortune, and the gods would curse and destroy their village if the child was not immediately made into a sacrifice.

Ethan finds Sean while on an expedition to the mountain to find a suitable place to make opium fields as raw materials for making heroin.

8-year-old Sean lay unconscious on a boulder, his ribs broken, and his spine shifted, he also suffered a severe head injury. Of course he was thrown from the top of the cliff, lucky trees that grow on the edge of the cliff hold it so as not to fall directly down.

Ethan forgets his ultimate goal and immediately rushes Sean down from the mountain, carrying him behind his back and taking him to the nearest hospital.

For the size of the person who fell from a high cliff, Sean can still be said to be lucky, because he can survive.

But unfortunately even though Sean was saved, he lost his cognitive abilities. Sean does not behave like a normal 8-year-old child in general, he looks more like a special needs child with an IQ of 40, can be said Sean suffered from autism. The doctor could not promise her a cure.

Ethan has to be patient with Sean, at the age of 8 years Sean can not tie his own shoelaces, can not button his clothes, he said, unable to hold the spoon properly while eating and preferring to eat directly by hand, he could not even write his own name, and he spoke like a baby muttering indistinctly, one year later, Sean said his first word.

But a miracle happens when Christopher, his butler, suddenly wakes Ethan up in the middle of the night to show what Sean is doing.

Sean sat around a pile of books strewn across the floor, his hands moving around holding a pen and writing something down on paper. Of course, it makes Ethan wonder because Sean could never even write how hard he taught him.

Christopher gives a piece of paper full of scribbles on his back from the floor to Ethan.

Sean solves the complex problems of algebraic correlation and geometry, but Ethan and Christopher have never taught him mathematics before.

After that another miracle continued to emerge. Before giving a morning newspaper to Ethan, Sean always reads it first, and it takes him only 3 minutes to finish a 10-page newspaper, even Sean also remembered word for word written there without anyone being missed by him.

Ethan takes Sean every morning as he goes to work at the city library to spend his time reading books, Ethan picks up Sean in the afternoon, or even at night when he was too busy to go home sooner, but Sean never complained. Sean always complies with anything Ethan says without ever refuting.

For Sean, who has been obsessed with Ethan since the age of 8, whatever Ethan tells him is the same as God's word.

Sean was even willing to sacrifice his life, if it was a request from Ethan.

Ethan makes excellent use of Sean's advantages, with Sean's help he can even build Gold Medical and make it as big as it is now. Sean was one of the people who played an important role in Ethan's success so far. And compared to the past, Sean's cognitive abilities began to develop, even though it was too late.

Sean walked quickly through the night streets, following three men in black suits behind him, who dragged someone into the basement.

The room was damp and there was a puddle of water on the floor, a stinging stench filled the room. But without being disturbed at all Sean is still doing his job, while the other three people try desperately to refrain from vomiting.

"The drain must be clogged again" someone complained as he covered his nose with his hands.

"Clean this place when we're done, it would be a shame if Mr. GD came here and found this place like a garbage dump" Sean said expressionlessly.

"Yes Mr. Sean" said the three men at the same time.

Sean looked at the person before him with a flat face. Ethan's orders are a must, which is why Sean doesn't even care about the torrential rain that's pouring down on him in the middle of the night.

Sean could have been sick, but he refused to stop, doing Ethan's job was his top priority, and Ethan wasn't the kind of person who would gladly give his leeway.

"Punish me" a stocky man knelt while rubbing his hands together to beg for forgiveness.

But Sean's cold heart was completely untouched, even though fresh blood flowed from the man's forehead, as a result of his punch with an iron rod.

The man is a businessman who had worked with Ethan, but the cooperation between the two did not go well, and Sean got the task to solve it.

"Bring him in" hearing the order, Sean's men instantly moved to drag the man down again.

"No! Nah! Forgive me, I will do anything, tell your master I will sign his contract. If you kill me, you'll get nothing"

The man held onto Sean's leg, but Sean kicked him back, there was not the slightest bit of pity in him. His loyalty to Ethan has sealed his conscience tightly.

Ethan always said that if pitying others is a weakness, and to survive in this crazy world, pity is not at all necessary.

Ethan's words are always a reminder of Sean in carrying out his duties, as heavy as anything, or as terrible as anything.

Sean took his phone and tried to contact his master.

"He said he'd sign the contract, should I accept the offer?"

"I'm sick of him, just finish him off"

Sean nodded his head before hanging up the phone, in his view the helpless man was curled up on the floor crying, he would have known what was going to happen to him, no matter how hard he begged. Even licking Ethan's shoes won't save him from death.

"Enter his body into the mill, make sure he's crushed to the bone"

With an expressionless flat face, Sean took a handkerchief from his coat pouch and cleaned his bloodstained hand while witnessing the death of the man who had already angered his master.

Sean turned his gaze when he saw the man's body being inserted into the milling machine, for a few seconds there was a sound of heart-wrenching screams of pain and the atmosphere returned to its original silence.

Sean let out a sigh of relief, he had already finished doing his job well. Although it was not the last task for tonight, there was still another job waiting for him.

Seven years ago, the Gold Tower stood, the first stone laid by Ethan himself.

Ethan tried very hard to be able to build his own kingdom after previously he lived like a slave with insults from people.

For years Ethan lived on the streets, doing dirty business using the name GD until finally he could become the leader of the most reluctant mobster in Asia, even the influence of the organization he led had begun to spread to the west.

Everyone in the dirty business knows who Gold Dragon is, and its ruthless leader, GD, although none of them have ever come face to face with GD to see his face.

Gold Tower is a 50-story skyscraper. The top 5 floors are a private residence for Ethan.

Ethan's residence has a total of 16 rooms of which ten are occupied by servants.

Ethan is no different from living in a palace as a king, the entire room in a Gold-tinted design with the help of fantastic precious big crystal lights, also antique paintings on the walls that also use gold frames.

The facilities are not playing games either. Large swimming pools, golf courses, bowling alley, gym, game center, cinema, library and also jacuzzi are made in such a way similar to a large pool in the middle of the forest.

On the roof of the building, dozens of helicopters are parked ready to take Ethan anywhere. Elsewhere, Ethan even owns a private jet, as well as more than one cruise ship.

Gold Tower's main function is as the headquarters of Gold Medical, and offices for other subsidiaries under the Gold group name are all led by Ethan Zie.

But behind the majestic Gold tower, only a handful of people knew what exactly was inside.

Inside there is a large heroin manufacturing plant and also a laboratory.

Do not miss the operating room to harvest the organs to be traded along with the special storage space.

It's not just the basement floor. But Ethan also has tens of hectares of land that is grown in opium as the raw material for making the drug.

All his business was in one place and no one suspected him all along.

"Sean's good job, you can finish it even before sunrise"

Ethan drinks his tea and leans back to the sofa comfortably.

Sean sits right in front of Ethan, enjoying the warm Earl grey green tea that Christopher, his butler, has just made. This is the second teapot for tonight.

"It's my duty sir" Sean bowed condescendingly.

His body was shivering from the cold but trying to stay up, his clothes were still wet as well.

"I saw outside the rain, did you rain Sean?"

It was just a question of pleasantries, even a fool would know that Sean must be rained because his hair and clothes were wet.

"I'm fine sir"

Sean's reply instantly made Ethan laugh, he felt lucky to have a person with work loyalty as high as Sean's.

"You should've changed your clothes before you saw me"

"You didn't order me to change clothes"

Ethan presses his temple, feeling he has done everything he can to educate Sean, but at the age of 21 Sean is still acting like a naive child.

"If you feel cold you should wear a blanket, if you're hungry you should eat, if you're sleepy you should sleep, if you're exhausted you should rest, if you're tired, if you're sick, get yourself checked out by a doctor. You don't have to wait for my orders for such a basic thing, do you understand?"

Ethan puts his green fur coat on Sean.

"Your job is the most important thing, I cannot sleep, eat or rest while on duty"

"That's why you have to weigh what you have to do and don't just stick to one thing, that's what people in general do"

Sean nodded for sure, either he understood or he just wanted to stop Ethan from speaking to him.

"Smart kid" Ethan stroked Sean's head and Sean smiled happily to get a gentle treatment from his master.

"So, have you found anything about Chaerin?"

Sean nodded quickly.

"Maybe you wouldn't like to hear this, but the person Chaerin was looking for was Antoni Greco, who died 20 years ago in a factory fire that killed 36 workers"

Sean handed over a stack of papers containing the data of the fire victims at the factory, along with the data of the owner, Antoni Greco. And also a collection of 1998 newspaper clippings that were cut and stacked and then placed on paper.

Antoni Greco died at the age of 45, it is unfortunate that he died at such a young age even though his business was going well.

"Chaerin shouldn't be looking for a long-dead person"

"Chaerin's mother, Clairine, was Antoni Greco's personal secretary for 10 years. The woman reports cheating and also illegal business from Antoni so Antoni is threatened. Only a month later a fire at the factory killed Antoni and other factory workers, and the main suspect was his secretary, Clairine"

Ethan puts his teacup on the table and tries to focus his attention on Sean's story.

"In the end the woman was sentenced to death exactly one month ago after 20 years in prison. I heard this part from Ronan" Ethan cut a quick word.

"Yes, after his mother went to prison, Chaerin was in the orphanage. But just two months there, he and one of his friends ran away"

Sean showed a photo of a group of children holding a banner that read 'Angel Wing Orphanage' on his tablet screen.

"This is Chaerin, and this is Austin, the runaway boy with Chaerin" Sean alternately points to the girl and boy in the photo.

"I guessed it was him, and his fat friend" Ethan smiled, with Sean's confused look.

"Then I have nothing to worry about, the person Chaerin is looking for is dead" Ethan leaves the couch and returns to his desk.

"No sir, Antoni Greco is still alive, he faked his death and hid himself. You know him very well" Sean re-connects his words that had been interrupted.

"Who?"

"Arnoldo Ricci"

As Ethan gaped, he could not hide his surprise, the name Sean mentioned was well known to him.

"You mean Arnoldo of the Ricci family? The Italian mafia that helped us smuggle drugs into the European market?"

"Yes sir, I don't expect you to be helping Chaerin and making trouble with Arnoldo"

Ethan dropped himself onto the couch again. Instantly his head was filled with various choices that made him confused.

Chaerin is looking for Arnoldo Ricci, on the other hand Arnoldo is a person who plays an important role for his business, it is very unlikely that Ethan will be happy to give up Arnoldo for execution by Chaerin, it was tantamount to destroying his business, and tearing down the empire he had built over the years.

Chaerin and Arnoldo are both important people, in different ways.

"Did Chaerin know about Antoni and Arnoldo being the same person?"

"No sir, I think Chaerin is stuck in a dead end"

"Good" Ethan let out a sigh of relief. "Never let Chaerin, meet Arnoldo, or Brian, or any of Ricci's family"

"Okay sir" Sean immediately nodded in understanding.

"Rest" Ethan got off the couch and went back to his desk.

"No sir, I see you're very busy, I'll help you" Sean stood up and walked over to Ethan.

Ethan looks at Sean, trying to find an excuse for Sean to leave, because he wants to think about something for himself.

And again Sean looked so exhausted and cold even though he was covered with all his energy.

"Tomorrow for a medical check-up, I want to see how you're doing, I don't want to work with sick people"

"But...."

"Are you arguing with me?"

"No, sorry sir"

Sean could not say anything more, he immediately walked out of Ethan's study room with an uneasy heart for letting his master work alone.
