“Ahhh…” Aella was flustered to death as she continuously paced around the closed room. Ray looked at her with a smile and just shook his head.

For a moment, even he was flustered but the calmness returned right after. It seemed something even thus embarrassing wasn’t going to get him flustered.

“Guess I have become too thick skinned,” He thought and shrugged. It didn’t matter much to him. He was a grown man and he was sure that even though they were caught in the act, it was nothing much.

Rose was too lite to understand anything while his mum was mature enough to understand the problem at hand and dismiss it. Also, his mom was a freaking Calamity, he was sure she had seen many things in her life.

Not to mention naked men being the last thing on the universe he would want her seeing but he was sure that she had her own fair share of men. Also, he was her son, so what was their to be embarrassed about?

“Ray! Your thinking is too deranged,” Seethed Aurora. Even though it wasn’t her matter to speak on, the things Ray was thinking of were simply too crude and heartless.

“What do you mean?”

“What do you mean? Ray are you serious? The f*ck has gone wrong with your mind? She is your mom for gods sake, have some shame,” Even more furious than before, Aurora reprimanded him as Ray didn’t get a point to what she was trying to imply.

“Just what the hell has gone wrong with you?” Aurora thought out loud, clear freaked out by the strange change in Ray’s personality.

“Ptuii…” Just as Ray was about to say something, something hit him hard. His head jerked sideways as he felt a burning sensation on his cheek.

Rubbing his cheek with his hand, Ray looked down and saw Aella looking at him with a furious glint in her eyes.

“What happened?” He asked, a but emotion shining in his eyes.

“You a*shole, you think I don’t see it? It was your mom for gods sake, have some shame,” That was all Aella had to say before she walked to the bed, grabbed her clothes and walked away.

Ray just stared at her with his cheek burning in pain. Slowly, he got out of shock as his brain finally made sense of the whole mess.

Apparently, it wasn’t that Ray was not ashamed or flustered. It’s just that the shock was too great that he kind of turned off his emotions. However, the slap that he just received brought him out of the shock as he finally made sense of things.

Slowly, redness creeped over his skin as his face turned beet red. He was finally feeling what Aella just felt a few moments ago. He wanted to dig a hole in the ground and dive into it.

Ray sighed and took a deep breath. Now was not the time to think about this stuff. There were more pressing matters on hand.

He shook his head and stood up. Taking a hot shower to calm his mind, he dressed up and walked outside. As he walked around the familiar hallways of his mansion, a nostalgic feeling arose in his heart as he couldn’t help but smile.

“A fruit of my hard work, I hope everyone is safe,” his thoughts ran amok as he reached the huge ground where everyone was situated. Ray had predetermined this place for the survivors and from what he saw, his calculations weren’t for naught.

The survivors were able to settle in the whole place splendidly and that too without any issues. Ray looked at the whole place and took a deep breath.

The smile on his face was replaced by a cold expression as he took a step forward. Right as he did, all the aura contained in his body was released.

As the terrifying aura seeped into the hall, they all felt their bones shiver. Turning around, they looked at Ray as many had their faces drained of color.

It wasn’t that they were afraid of Ray or anything. Just that the aura he released was too terrifying that many thought that some beast had invaded the place.

“Broo!!!” Tim shouted in ecstasy as he ran from one corner of the hall towards Ray and hugged him tightly.

“Hey Tim,” Ray said softly as he endured the big man’s bear hug. It seemed as if Tim had turned even more muscular, “Uhmm… could you take it a bit easy on me?” Ray muttered as he was now finding it hard to breathe.

“Oh,” Tim realized as he let go of Ray. After all, Ray hadn’t healed completely and still felt the injuries he suffered.𝗈𝓥𝓁xt.𝑐𝓞𝐌

“Hi Ray,” Sirius came out of the shadows as he greeted his dear friend with a happy smile on his face.

“Hey Sirius,” Ray greeted back as he took a step forward and higher him lightly. Letting go of the hug, Ray nodded at him and asked, “Everything good?”

“Yup, everything is good,” Sirius answered on the surface. However, deep within; a telepathic conversation went on between them.

“You were right. We found a lot of people from the outer world. Most use ornaments or some sort of technique to hide it but their genetic information doesn’t lie,” Sirius said so in a grave tone. However so, his expression was calm and full of delight. As if the important discussion wasn’t even happening.

“Hmmm… let them be for now and observe. Things will open up soon enough,” Ray said as he nodded and turned to others.

Looking at Elina and Aliya, he smiled at them sweetly. Both of them were his dear friends and looking back at them made his heart fill with content.

Ray then turned around as his eyes fell on Kashish. Looking at her, he asked, “I hope you are doing well, Princess?”

As he did, Kashish’s face paled as she felt her mind spin. Her vision was turning muddy as she found it hard to get a grip on herself.

“Is my secret out that easily? Were my efforts for none? How does he even know?” as her thoughts went wild, she felt her head spin before she fainted on the spot.

“Huh?” confused, Ray looked at her and then took a step forward as his body turned into a blur. Appearing besides Kashish, he held her in his arms and slowly laid her down.

Procuring a small bottle of water from his spatial storage, he opened its cap and splashed the water on her face.

“Ughhh…” She opened her eyes groggily as he head still felt light.

“Guess she isn’t feeling well,” Ray said as he turned to Elina and asked her to bring Kashish away.

“Sure,” Elina nodded and picked her up and took her away.

“Now, time to address them all,” Ray said as he grinned mischievously. He has been waiting for this for a long time. After all, the people present here were his man power. He would do what the governments had done for year’s and altered their thinking into working for them.

Now, he would tell them the truth and make them realize how he was their only hope. This way, they would follow him and work for him as they will get dependent upon him.

At the end, they would serve to be his warriors who would later be an integral part of his army.

“I guess that is a bit too much. I shouldn’t think for too far off. Let’s see them at least,” He thought and shook his head. Recently, his thoughts had started to wander off a lot.

Ray walked forward along with his teammates as he was joined by Nia on the way. The second heir to the Jhonson family seemed elated over his return and welcomed him back in quite a warm manner.

Ray was also delighted with the change. It seemed as if the previous coldness she had with him was now nowhere to be found.

“Guess my heroics had some good after all,” he thought in elation and then walked forward. On the way, he met some more people as by the time he reached in the middle of the hall; a small caravan had been formed as all the attention was on him.

This was exactly what Ray wanted. Walking up to a small make shift stage that had been formed in the middle of the hall, he stepped over the platform and then overlooked from there. He looked at them and cleared his throat and spoke,

“Ahemm… I hope you all are doing well and enjoying everything here,”
