In the moonless and windy night, the Charvey Estate, which was shrouded in darkness, didn’t look any different than before. Around the corner, a certain sports car parked silently. The expression of the person in the car was calm and composed, as if he was about to head to an important date. He opened the car door. However, his personal comp started ringing. On the screen showed the name of the person he was meeting.
“Nalun?” Sirius suppressed the excitement in his heart, his tone very restrained.
“En, it’s me.” The other side sank into silence.
Sirius didn’t rush him and left him plenty of time to mull over his words. After all, this duplicitous and awkward individual had to pass this barrier on his own eventually, before he could divulge some words of honesty.
But this moment of silence was somewhat long, so long that Sirius started to suspect that the other had accidentally pressed the button, which led to this unexpected phone call; Nalun finally spoke.
“Yesterday night, my father bumped into a suspicious man in our home.”
Sirius was startled.
“They’re doing their best to identify the criminal right now.”
Sirius: “……”
“Do you think they’ll be successful?”
The Admiral said calmly: “I naturally trust in uncle Charvey’s skills.”
Nalun: “Oh, me too.”
They both fell into a moment of silence.
Sirius asked: “What do you think that man broke into the Charvey estate to steal?”
Nalun: “……..Money and wealth probably.”
Sirius: “Did he manage?”
Nalun: “No.”
Sirius sighed regretfully.
Nalun: “En?”
Sirius: “I feel like this is too dangerous. Do you need me to come over and assist?”
Nalun: “…….”
For a long time, there was no sound from the other side. Sirius remained patient, not expecting this extremely awkward and difficult guy to follow his heart and accept him, acknowledge him, and tell him that he needed him.
Sure enough–
“No need.” Nalun replied: “Good night.”
After pausing for a moment, Nalun added: “I’m going to sleep.”
Sirius: “…….”
He seemed to have sharply perceived a certain signal here.
“Wait, Nalun.”
The tone of the person on the other side suddenly became very impatient: “What do you want?”
Was this annoyance from embarrassment?
The smile on the corners of Sirius’s lips slowly grew wider: “Nothing. Go sleep. Good night.”

–He was coming right now.

If Sirius didn’t know his temperament, he would have thought that the other was deliberately enticing him.
As before, this night the Admiral continued to happily embrace his big baobei, whose sleeping posture was becoming more and more natural. For the first time, he felt like he wasn’t braving this fight alone– Even though this response was minimal, next to none, it was enough to make him feel delighted.
The hard question right now was how to make a certain person relinquish their mental shackles and voluntarily ‘wake up’. Although the peacefully sleeping person was well-behaved and allowed kisses, this wasn’t a long-term solution after all.
Right now, even more so, he wanted to openly and properly kiss and embrace him, bathed in the bright sunlight, under the attentive gaze of those grayish-green eyes.
Sirius’s wish was arduous, with a long path ahead. Tonight, his sweetheart continued to sleep heavily, just as before.
Ai…..
The next day, the outside assistant that the Honored Prince Sr Angeli requested arrived as expected.
Gavin Monte was an old-fashioned person who was very particular about dress and attire. In the words of his entrepreneur ex-wife, he was a flashy male peacock. Due to his occupation, he gained a cold and stoic aura. However, upon entering the Charvey Estate, this aura lessened slightly.
His reconciled old friend was already waiting outside.
“Haha, come sit inside.” Angeli’s smile was terrifying as usual.
Gavin nodded his head, a few technical staff followed behind him.
“I need to inspect the security system first, and see the floorplan of the rooms before I can finally design a flawless set up.”
“No rush.” The Honored Prince Sr. waved his hand magnanimously and ‘amicably ‘ invited him to reminisce: “The kids are still not back yet. We can chat a bit first.”
Gavin: “…… okay.”
Facing such a cold face like this, he needed to gather his energy and prepare very well mentally to conduct a conversation pleasantly.
The technical staff carried out their work wholeheartedly. The two retired individuals slowly turned the topic of their conversation to the Charvey Estate break-in.
The Honored Prince Sr. thought briefly and opened the video screenshots stored on his personal comp.
“In the afternoon, I asked someone to look over the surveillance footage again. They discovered that this man…… actually entered the estate secretly every night!”
Monte Sr. furrowed his brows: “This is rather serious in nature. Let me see.”
The Honored Prince Sr. immediately handed his personal comp over.
Monte looked at it for a while and asked: “Are there videos? It’s hard to see just by looking at pictures.”
Therefore, the Honored Prince Sr. guided him to the surveillance room and pulled out a week worth of video recording.
“The opponent is very cunning, capable of avoiding the camera every time. His movements are well-practiced. He might have been lurking here for a long time already.”
On the lower right corner of the screen, it displayed the recording time, 20:38. The high resolution camera lens filmed the dark Charvey Estate very clearly. A burst of subtle footsteps sounded. A black shadow flashed out of the corner. Within a few steps, a big and tall man walked in and out of the view.
“That’s him.” The Honored Prince’s expression was grave: “Can a full body image be created using these screenshots? The kind that can narrow the range of suspects, so the investigation can go quicker. What do you think…… Gavin?”
Monte Sr., who was called, returned from his thoughts: “What?”
The Honored Prince Sr. narrowed his eyes, expression turning grave.
“Were you able to see something?”
Monte Sr. immediately denied: “No.”
The Honored Prince Sr.: “……”
“But I will do my best to help.” He forced what could be considered a sincere smile.
Not long afterwards, using the excuse of going to the washroom, the retired police chief, with a twisted face, immediately gave a call to his son’s personal comp.
“Stinking brat, where have you been going at night?”
The Admiral, who just finished a meeting, raised his brow.
“What’s the matter?”
“I went to visit Angeli, that guy. There’s a break-in at their house!” Monte Sr. fumed with rage through gritted teeth: “Don’t tell me this has nothing to do with you!”
Sirius: “……”
“I don’t know if this old guy’s been taking the wrong medicine or something. A few days ago, he suddenly appeared at our door, saying he wanted to reconcile our relationship. This is really……”
Too terrifying!
“But I still temporarily agreed to bury the hatchet with him. Yet guess what? On his family’s surveillance footage, I saw you!”
“Calm down.” Sirius’s tone was serene.
“I can’t calm down!” Monte Sr. roared abruptly. Immediately afterwards, he looked around nervously and asked in a suppressed voice: “Tell me honestly. Did you offend that old guy or something?”
Sirius: “No.”
“Was it not you who infiltrated the Charvey estate?”
“It was me.”
Gavin Monte took in a cold breath.
Sirius asked: “They invited you for something?”
“…… To upgrade their security system.”
The corner of Sirius’s mouth raised: “En. Just use the Rx3.0 system.”
Monte Sr. was stunned: “That was indeed what I planned. This is the most advanced security system. Although that old guy is not very likable, since he sincerely invited me to help, I plan to do my best.”
Sirius: “Then you get busy.”
“……”
It wasn’t until he heard the sound of the dial tone after the call ended that Monte Sr. remembered that the most important question hadn’t been answered yet. Just why did his son run off to someone else’s house in the middle of the night?!
Connecting this with Angeli’s sudden expression of goodwill lately, he felt a certain unrest grow in his heart.
This unrest was influenced by his attitude towards the Honored Prince Sr. As someone of the same generation, who was completely suppressed under the brilliance of the Honored Prince Sr.’s light for a long time, Monte Sr. still felt pretty timid upon seeing him.
“Just think of this place as your own home. Relax a bit.” The Honored Prince Sr. did his best to smooth out his facial muscles to make himself look more amiable and approachable.
“……” There must be a plot here! First use ‘reconciliation’ to lull him, then trick him here afterwards, and last……
The mentally haggard Gavin Monte found it more and more difficult to hold a smile.
When Nalun returned, the security system of the Charvey Estate had already received a quantum leap.
The Honored Prince Sr. held Monte Sr.’s hand, busy reminiscing fondly the the missed friendship between them in the last twenty years. Seeing his young son return, he patted Chief Gavin’s shoulder right in front of Nalun.
“Back?”
Nalun nodded his head and politely greeted his elders.
This young Charvey, who was rumored to have a personality somewhat like Angeli and a not very good temper, looked actually pretty good. In addition, he didn’t seem as condescending as people say. After a moment of appraisal, Monte Sr. seized the opportunity to bid farewell– He didn’t have any plans to eat a meal in the Charvey family.
“The Rx3.0 is very safe. The flaws that were present have all been fixed now.” He said confidently: “An ordinary, little thief definitely won’t be able to break in.”
Nalun’s gaze was profound. Just pray that this so-called newest system can really stop Sirius.
“New cameras were also installed. Even if someone breaks in, they won’t be able to get out unscathed.” Monte Sr. added.
Nalun: “……” This could be a problem.
He tentatively asked about the placement of the cameras. Monte Sr. generously waved his hand and handed the design plans to Nalun.
“It’s all here. No areas overlooked.”
— Actually, there’s still one.
Monte Sr. thought guiltily. After all, he already recognized that the intruder was his own troublesome son. If he didn’t leave a blindspot, what if the other truly got exposed. What about the Monte family’s reputation then?
However, the angle he left was very tricky. You can say, he had considered both his son’s intentions and the Charvey family’s safety– He had really worried his heart out.
The effectiveness of the new security system was very quickly put to the test at night.
After bathing, the Honored Prince, who had climbed into the blankets early. With a tilted head, he stared at the door of the room with focus. Under normal situations, 10 minutes after the lights went out, Sirius would open the door and enter.
Yet right now, 20 minutes have already passed. The completely awake Honored Prince flipped over and pulled out his personal comp from under the pillow. He clicked open the chat screen.
[What are you doing?]
Unfortunately, this time he didn’t receive an instant reply.
The Admiral-daren was currently in the corridor, doing battle with the camera. With a heavy face, he seriously considered the possibility of dressing up in a disguise– this way, even if a front view was recorded, people wouldn’t discover him. Perhaps he should also find time to have a friendly exchange with his father.
This might be very necessary. The terrible nature of a generation gap was that it can complicate a simple thing and turn a wonderful date into a dangerous and difficult expedition.
The Honored Prince, who waited for a very long time without receiving a response, lost his patience. He threw away his personal comp, covered his head, and closed his eyes.
The surrounding was quiet and noiseless. Without an intruder, the night was exceptionally peaceful. Everything became perfect. He could finally feel at ease, and sleep without worries…...
Sirius didn’t really get stopped, right?
In the darkness, dark green eyes opened silently.
One of the reasons why the Rx3.0 system was so revered by people was because of its precise ‘lock on’ ability. Once it discovered an unfamiliar face, it would enter a sentinel state, activating both the alarm and defense system at the same time. It’s said that the defensive capability was very strong. A slight carelessness would result in heavy injuries for the intruder. Unless the individual was an experienced and nimble elite within the profession, ordinary thieves would retreat immediately upon seeing the Rx name brand.
“……”
A figure slowly sat up from the large bed. The gloomy youth expressionlessly lifted the blankets, jumped off the bed, and scooted to the door.
He didn’t actually want to see something like this tomorrow: [Shocking! The Imperial Admiral was injured while intruding on private property in the middle of the night!]
He just opened a crack in the door when he saw a familiar figure appear in the area ahead of him.
“!!!”
Reacting instantly, the Honored Prince dove back into the bed with a “whoosh–”
