45 14. Zeus

Silent descent into the room as the question from her struck Adrian in complete stunn.

" Are you Zeus?" Layla asked again, repeating her earlier unanswered question.

Adrian knew she smart, so lying was not a good option right now. Finally he nodded, confirming her suspicious. Layla went speechless. Even though she suspected it, it's different from admitting. So, he's that Zeus! Heaven! What kind of jokes is this?!!

The legendary mercenary and instructor was him! The rumors said he started made a name when he only 15 years old. Is it true or not? Another rumors said he retired because of injury, true or not? If true, then why he's here alive and kicking? There's no symptoms of him being sick or possible disability.

And, that cold man in rumors was him? How far off the rumors about him in the past with the him in the present?

" Did Allen knew about you?" She asked.

" Yes. He's my immediate superior in the past, so of course he know." Adrian felt funny at her silly question. Aihh, so cute! He felt giddy inside.

" Why you retired? I planning on to request you as my instructor. Now, I don't know who should I asked to be my trainer." Layla sighed. Allen told her that Zeus already retired 6 years ago. So, her chance to get any good instructor was closed to none. She admired Zeus deep inside her heart. He's her hero. She once meet him when he still active in mercenary world, but he wore silver mask at that time. The only thing that could related Adrian and Zeus was their unique eye pupils. Violet in color.

' Did 'she' knows about this in the past?' Looking at this handsome face of his with that strikingly beautiful violet eyes, she bet that 'her' in the past also knows about him as Zeus.

Adrian amused at her ever-changing expression in minutes. Everything was clear as sky. He sighed. His eyes indeed unique and easy to connecting him with Zeus. Even though he can hide it with contact lenses, his eyes color was too deep that anyone could tell that he wearing something in his eyes.

" You didn't look surprised at all," Layla muttered in sulk. Adrian laugh. He caressed her hair lovingly, not avoiding her distaste for being tricked.

" My eyes...anyone who knows me can tell in minutes. Alright, don't be mad. The less people knows is better. I already am retired, so I can't let myself exposed to my enemies." Adrian sighed. He wants to come back from retirement, but Allen forbids it.

Two years ago when he went berserk, he exposed his whereabouts and almost died in his path of revenge for her and their child. His enemies surrounds him and almost succeed in bring him down. The barrage of bullets flew in the air, killing several of his subordinates. And, unfortunately, his breaks out happened a day earlier and he is at his weakest. If not for Zero, he already drown in his own blood.

" Humm, you close with Allen?" This time she asked with intention to distract him. If not, she could imagine that he would devoured her again. Her waist still hurting and numbs from his barrage of attacks

As if Adrian didn't know her true intention. Nice try, love.

" Yes. We're a childhood friends. I know him when I and my parents went to an island for vacation at the age of 5. At that time, he was bullied by a group of local kids. Well, me and my heroic dreams. So, I bravely fought with those kids and barely won the fight. From that time, our long-friendship established. However, we lost contact almost half of our life. Later, our reunion happened when I went to a college and meets him and Fred." Adrian pulled her closer to his arms as he rested his chin on the top of her head.

" What? Then the rumors about you joined the organization at the age of 15 was wrong?" Layla speechless. No way!! Adrian laugh.

" not that far off and exaggerated like in the rumors. I joined the the organization at the age of 18. I joined in because of Allens' invitation when we reunion with each other at the college."

Again, Layla speechless. The world of geniuses was far from her. Damn it! They're monsters! Goes to college at the age of 18!

" you monsters..." she muttered under her breath. Adrian laughter boomed above her head. She smacked his chest, feeling annoyed.

" I never seen myself as a genius. There's more geniuses smarter than me. So, don't worry." Layla's lips twitched. Worry of what?! She smack him again.

" Alright, alright. Enough for that. You try to distract me, but unfortunately, I already am hard down there, love." Adrian kissed her ear, blew up hot breath to incite her desire. Layla went stiff. She could feel his hard rock penis poke in between her thighs. Shit!

Adrian pulled her knee up and hook it on his wide waistline. Before she could protest against him, he brought his hard rod to her wet hole with his hand. He move forward and thrust in one swift move. Another round of battle went on until dinner time.
