Younshuwas lost in his own thoughts a deep senseof happiness slowly filling his heart. A smile rested on his face
the kind of smile that appears only when an impossible task is about to be accomplished.
He was lost in a world of thoughts where only his "Perfect Plan" existed.
But that beautiful little world of his shattered in an instant.
"If you have something to say, then say it… staring like that won't be good for you."
A sudden cold and heavy voice echoed through the hall. It was Zavian. He was calmly reading his book,
but his sharp eyes had already noticed Younshu's attention. Without even lifting his gaze from the book, he had warned him.
But Younshu? He seemed as if he were in a deep sleep. He didn't even realize that Zavian had spoken to him.
He simply stood there, staring at Zavian like he was some rare exhibit in a museum.
After a moment, Zavian closed his book and looked at Kalene. There was a hint of irritation on his face.
"Kalene! Bring him back to his senses. It looks like he has gone into some kind of shock."
Kalene, who was already afraid of Zavian's temper, immediately sprang into action. He rushed toward Younshu and, without thinking twice, gave his wrist a hard pinch.
"AAAHHH!"
A painful scream escaped Younshu's mouth. He jumped up the moment he came back to his senses.
"What kind of nonsense is this, Karan? Are you trying to kill me?"
Zavian fixed his deep, cold gaze on Younshu.
"What were you doing? Why were you standing there and staring at me like that for so long?"
For a brief moment, Younshu tried to hide his nervousness. Then a small, mischievous smile slowly appeared on his lips. "Ah… no..no, Zayan … it's nothing. I was just… well…"
Younshu didn't finish his sentence. He slowly took a few steps forward and, without saying a word, sat down right beside Zavian.
After gathering his courage Younshu finally spoke in a slow voice.
"Well… I actually needed a little help from you. Will... you help me?"
After saying that, Younshu carefully looked at the faces of Zavian and Kalene, as if he were trying to read their minds.
For a brief moment, Zavian closed his book and looked at Younshu with cold, deep eyes.
"Hmm… hmm… and what kind of help do you need from me?" Zavian's voice echoed through the hall.
Younshu's throat suddenly felt dry. He hesitated for a moment and said nervously,
"Well… I do need your help… but… for that, you'll have to become a bodyguard!"
The moment those words were spoken, it felt as if time had stopped. Both Kalene and Zavian immediately reacted.
Kalene was so shocked that his mouth remained wide open. Stammering, he asked,
"Wha...what did you say? Say that again?"
Younshu repeated firmly,
"Yes… a bodyguard!"
Zavian took a deep breath and placed both of his hands together on his knees.
His posture looked like that of a dangerous hunter watching his prey. Looking straight into Younshu's eyes, he asked,
"Why should I... become a bodyguard to help you? And... what will I get in return?"
Younshu quickly widened his eyes and said with a hopeful smile,
"You'll get paid for the job!"
Zavian didn't reply. Instead, his silence grew even deeper.
Zavian took a deep breath, and his voice became colder and more dangerous than before.
"It seems like you've forgotten who I am..."
Hearing this, Younshu immediately became serious. The playful atmosphere in the hall disappeared in an instant.
Zavian continued calmly,
"Do you think I'm hungry for money? I have so much.. power and wealth that even if your...seven generations sat and spent it all their lives, it...still wouldn't run out."
Zavian fixed his gaze deeply into Younshu's eyes.
"You do know that I'm not an ordinary human, right?
I'm a Demon… and demons make people sign a 'Contract' in return for their help."
After a brief pause, Zavian asked with a faint smile,
"So tell me… will you sign a contract with me?"
The moment Younshu heard this, lines of worry appeared on his face. His mind began to race quickly.
"Sign a contract…?" he repeated slowly.
Before Younshu could say anything further, Kalene tried to ease the situation. A question suddenly came to his mind, and he quickly asked,
"Alright, but first tell us this—who exactly needs this bodyguard? And why?"
Hearing Kalene's question, that same mysterious smile returned to Younshu's face. Looking slightly pleased, he said,
"Well… I did mention it before, right? My boss… his name is Fangxi!"
Continuing his explanation, Younshu replies.
"My boss… Fangxi… he has a sister. I need a bodyguard for her someone who is strong and honest,
"someone who can protect her from every danger. I thought there could be no one better for this job than Zavian."
Younshu looked at Zavian and said with a hint of pride,
"Zavian is intelligent and powerful. That's why I chose him."
As soon as these words reached Zavian and Kalene's ears—that the bodyguard was needed for Fangxi's sister—both of them were stunned.
They looked at each other in shock. But their surprise reached its peak when Zavian, without wasting even a second, said in a calm and flat voice:
"Alright. I accept."
For Younshu, Zavian agreeing so easily felt nothing less than winning a lottery. In his excitement, he quickly said,
"Wha...what… did you just say yes? Did I hear that correctly?"
Zavian looked at him with a strict expression and replied,
"Yes, you heard it right."
Hearing this, Younshu almost jumped with happiness. But the very next moment, a familiar fear crossed his mind.
"But… what about the 'Contract'?" Younshu asked nervously.
"Will you do this job without signing a contract?"
A mysterious smile slowly appeared on Zavian's lips. Lowering his voice slightly into a deeper tone, he said,
"That can never happen. No demon has ever done any work without making someone sign a contract.
"Don't worry… I know very well how to make someone sign it."
A slight chill ran through Younshu. In a quiet voice, he asked,
"So… will you kill my boss after making him sign the contract?"
Zavian looked straight into his eyes, the same mysterious smile still on his face.
"Don't worry. Just get ready to receive praise from your boss. Inform him that you've found a bodyguard."
After saying that, Zavian didn't wait for another question with a calm yet commanding presence he, simply turned and walked away.
As soon as Zavian left, Younshu turned to look at Kalene. He slightly tilted his neck, silently asking for confirmation—as if he wanted to know whether trusting Zavian was the right decision.
Kalene spoke softly,
"You can.. make the call without hesitation. Nothing... will go wrong. Everything will be fine. I know.. my boss very well."
Taking a deep breath, Younshu dialed his boss's number.
"Boss… I've found a bodyguard,"
Younshu said in a confident voice.
From the other side of the call, his boss replied in surprise,
"But… I asked you to come to the house, didn't I? And how did you know that I needed a bodyguard?"
A faint smile appeared on Younshu's lips. In a calm tone, he replied,
"Boss, I still remember what happened to you in the past. You were the one who told me about it… when your sister was in a coma."
After pausing for a moment, recalling those memories, Younshu continued,
"You said that someday in the future you might need a bodyguard.
"Considering the enemies you have, I felt that the time had finally come.
"That's why I thought maybe this is the reason you called me to your house so urgently."
For a moment, silence filled the line. Then his boss spoke again, this time with a hint of pride in his voice.
"You still remembered that?
"Honestly, Younshu… you really are a very capable and intelligent secretary."
Hearing praise from his boss made Younshu's face light up with happiness. At that moment,
he felt as if all his hard work had finally paid off. His heart filled with joy.
Excited, Younshu said to his boss,
"Thank you, Boss!"
I appreciate your praise.
"Please wait a little I'll arrive at your house soon with the new bodyguard."
From the other side of the call came his boss's gentle voice.
"Alright. Come quickly."
Younshu ended the call and looked at Kalene with pride.
"See? Boss liked my work!"
Kalene smiled and nodded, then asked thoughtfully,
"By the way… your boss's sister's name is Sheyaan, right?"
"That's right!" Younshu replied immediately.
"She even went to that party with us. But we should leave now—she needs a bodyguard starting today."
They were still talking when suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps.
Tap… Tap… Tap…
Both of them looked around in surprise. The moment their eyes turned toward Zavian's room, they froze in shock.
Zavian was walking toward them…
…but in a completely new form.
He was dressed in a sharp black suit, his appearance neat and elegant.
The dark, mysterious demon-like aura he once carried had now transformed into the presence of a professional bodyguard.
An expensive watch gleamed on his wrist, and a powerful aura surrounded him, making his presence impossible to ignore.
Zavian placed a small earpiece in his ear and calmly adjusted his coat as he walked toward Kalene and Younshu.
Today, he no longer looked like a demon—he looked like a perfectly professional and strikingly handsome bodyguard.
His new appearance was so attractive that anyone who saw him would find it hard to look away.
The moment Younshu and Kalene saw him, their mouths fell open in shock.
They could hardly believe their eyes—this was the same Zavian they knew.
Unaware of their stunned expressions, Zavian walked straight up to them and said in a firm voice,
"Let's go."
Hearing his flat tone, Kalene snapped back to his senses. Quickly, he reached out and shut Younshu's wide-open mouth with his hand.
Kalene's touch broke Younshu out of his trance. Stammering, he asked,
"Wha...Wait… you're already ready?"
Zavian tilted his head slightly, the familiar dominance returning to his voice.
"In your words… good work shouldn't be delayed."
As he said this, a deep and mysterious smile appeared on Zavian's lips. In a low voice, almost as if speaking to himself, he murmured,
"Today is a very special day for me...I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.
