The CEO Who Hates Me 149 Weapon Against Stress

"We need to wrap everything tonight. Karl is already inside. I think it's also good that you know all the details now since SL Group is doing a lot of movements to bring the business down." Butler Omni said.

Ryu followed Bultler Omni in the conference area of the mansion where they usually gather for an important family meeting.

Rita who was with Dean slightly bowed her head and said, "I'll go head in our room now."

Dean sighed, he understood Rita well. She was like torn in the middle but he was glad that she was not doing things in favor of her family. She stayed out of the situation between the Kens and Lees.

But of course, he would be glad if Rita will give assistance to him too but right now he preferred that she would be willing to give assistance as his wife above anything else.

Before Rita could walk out Dean pulled her for a stolen kiss before he let go.

Then he said teasingly, "Don't stay up late to wait for me…" and quickly followed Ryu.

Inside the conference room…

"Dad, what is it? You said we have to discuss an important matter but one minute already passed. You keep on massaging your nape there?" Ryu asked impatiently.

Ryu was so exhausted and the first thing he wanted to do was to see his wife and hug her.

He and Dean arrived home late already to fix various things n the company. SL Group was on the roll that they never wasted any open opportunity to attack them on their backs.

Karl started to speak, "Well it's about your grandpa…"

"What about grandpa? Why do you look like that uncle? Is he sick or something? Common spill it out, you both look eerie right now..." Dean blurted out before as he turned his gaze to Butler Omni then back to his uncle.

Karl sighed before he talks, "It's about your grandfather's past. He told me everything about his past life that I wasn't even aware of too. It would be nice if Sarah is here but I guess it couldn't wait because dad would like you guys to be aware of it also. And Alex right now is on protest so it's only me who heard the whole story directly from him. He asked me and Butler Omni to tell you the history where everything started since he couldn't bear to recall and tell the same story again to you guys…"

Ryu's forehead creased. "I'm sure it's all connected. There's a personal thing going on between the Lee Family and grandpa because I clearly heard Mr. Lee called grandpa Demon Don?" said Ryu.

Karl nodded as he reiterated, "Yeah you could say that. So you listen well to Butler Omni. I'm not good with storytelling because you know I'm the emotional type…"

Karl looked at Butler Omni and gestured the latter to start the narration of Elder Master Ken's past.

Butler Omni coughed and said jokingly, "This is a long story you should get snacks first… because I'm sure you'll be engulfed since movies won't even match with the experiences Elder Master Ken had…"

=====

"I still can't believe that grandpa came from the underworld. Geez... he's so strict as if we're on military training that I really thought he's part of a military before without telling us. And then it turned out it's a gangster method thing that he just refined..." Dean burst out.

He had mixed emotions that moment. Well, he expected it since Big Bro already discussed his hunch about it but still, his grandpa as a Demon Don was something huge.

Ryu on the other hand was quiet and Dean had noticed it. So he asks, "Big Bro what's wrong? You are quiet and focus while Butler Omni was talking."

"Nothing... I have to dig deeper. I want to know who that Shawn Lee is and where he really came from. Try if you can find anything about him from Rita. I don't know why but there's something about him that's bothering me... I feel that he had something against us also personally but he was not related to Old Man Skull by blood. He's just a pony for Old Man Skull," he said with a creased forehead.

He knew that Shawn was adopted together with Rita and he wanted to get more details about it.

Dean scratched his head but chose not to mention to Ryu that it will be hard because Rita was so loyal to Shawn Lee. The two have a deep connection and he could feel that.

Dean also found it weird though because on the report he read about Shawn Lee there's no record found before he's been adopted by Mr. Lee.

He must retrieve his files before he was adopted. Big Bro might be right. There could be something more to it… rather more to that guy…

He too was curious about him because he was the guy Rita looked up into like someone who she was willing to sacrifice her life to and that pissed him off. So he, of all people should find everything about that man.

He will personally dig deeper and find out all about Old Man's Skull main guy, Shawn Lee.

Ryu entered their room and saw Arya on their bed peacefully sleeping.

He smiled and immediately slipped inside the blanket with her.

"Hmm, you're back…" Arya murmured and hugged him.

"Yeah, I missed you so much. Sorry I wake you up…" Ryu said lovingly as he kissed his wife.

Arya smiled sweetly and opened her sluggish eyes. "You looked so tired love, wait you're still on your tie?" Arya said who suddenly rose.

She creased her forehead and said, "I'll help you change. I'll go get your sleepwear. Do you want a massage?"

Ryu laughed and pulled her back in his embrace. "Nah, let's just stay like this… I'm afraid if you help me change my clothes we'll both end up with none…"

All the exhaustion he felt a while ago was gone just by seeing and feeling Arya around him.

Then he murmured, "Do you know that you're my greatest weapon against stress…"

Arya laughed and said naughtily, "Well then let me become the medicine too if you're stressed. So don't move and just relax while I heal you okay?"
