âMekhi, I returned solely to seek your help.
Nathan stole my woman, caused me to lose everything and endure great suffering.
I canât even return home.
If I donât kill him, I wonât find peace! If you help me, Iâm willing to do anything to repay you, even if it costs me my life!â
Mekhi attentively stirred the soup bowl, then hesitated after a moment of deliberation.
âKyson, I genuinely want to help, but Iâm currently suspended from my duties by Nathan.
Iâm stuck at home, awaiting investigation.
I canât assist you right now.

âWhat?! He came after you?â Kyson clenched his teeth in hatred upon hearing that.
âMekhi, youâve been the deputy director for so long.
Donât you desire to replace him and become the head of the National Security Bureau? Crush Nathan under your feet and reclaim whatâs rightfully yours?â
Mekhi remained silent.
Certainly, he did.
He yearned to exact revenge on Nathan.
However, as he looked at his half-brother, his alluring eyes narrowed subtly.
His thoughts were a mystery.
Kyson persisted, âIâm your brother.
Help me, and Iâll return the favor.
Even if I have to risk my life, Iâll help you ascend to the top at the National Security Bureau!â
They shared a common enemy.
More allies equaled greater odds of success.
Mekhi smiled, extending his hand to Kyson.
Kyson leaned in, allowing Mekhi to gently pat his face.
âYouâve grown more mature and composed.
Iâm happy for you.
â
Kyson lowered his gaze, appearing obedient.
Mekhi assured, âI promise Iâll find a way to help you deal with Nathan.
â
âThank you!â
âWell, youâve traveled a long way.
Spend the night in the guest room and get some rest.
Iâll have the servants clean your former room tomorrow.
â
âOkay, thank you for taking me in and offering your help.
â
Mekhiâs face lit up with a warm smile.
âWe once clashed over power, and I emerged victorious.
But, my brother, I genuinely care for you.
â
Kyson appeared worn, but a faint smile brought refreshment to his countenance.
âLet the past be forgotten.
I ask for your forgiveness for my actions.
â
Bowing his head humbly, Kysonâs eyes revealed no trace of disgust or anger.
Pleased, Mekhi nodded.
âTake some time to rest.
