Teaming Up With System 225

Interstellar General (9)

When Silas and Grey arrived at the Ebunox estate, Caspian was at the mansion to greet them. This man looked a little like Silas, but his features were a bit softer and his eyes were a deep blue color, different from Silas' blue-green eyes. He was also around Grey's height, so Grey didn't have a hard time looking at him, unlike Silas who was a head taller than the both of them.

Caspian always wore a form-fitting suit and tie with his gold rim glasses. He looked like an intelligent man. All in all, Caspian didn't have as much presence as Silas. Made sense though. The one in Silas' body was God System... His husband was too powerful.

"Big brother, it's good to see you are safe," Caspian said with a gentle smile on his face.

Silas looked at him and nodded. He didn't say anything.

Caspian looked over at Grey and raised his right eyebrow. "Big brother, this is..."

"This is my boyfriend, Grey. Grey, meet Caspian. Okay, We will be in the room if anyone needs anything."

After that Silas brought Grey to his room, ignoring the look on Caspian's face. Silas wasn't close with Caspian at all. Caspian tried to murder him, slander him, ruin his reputation, and the list just went on and on. He would be ignorant if he didn't see behind Caspian's mask.

Grey sat down on the couch in Silas' room. They finally relaxed, so Grey let himself melt into the couch.

He said, "Your brother isn't very good at acting kind to you."

If Caspian talked with other people he didn't like, he would be better at disguising his emotions. Since he was talking to Silas, even if he wanted to act one way, his tone of voice and actions said otherwise.

Silas didn't care too much about Caspian and sat next to Grey wrapping his arm around the other's waist with a very practiced motion like he had done it a million times.

"Of course, he isn't. He's wanted to kill me for so long, it's hard to conceal malicious intent like that."

He shrugged. "Once we get more evidence, we won't have to worry about him."

Silas felt no familial love for Caspian. It all disappeared when Caspian pushed him down the stairs a few days after arriving at the estate. Caspian's mother just glanced at Silas and walked away as though she didn't see anything.

He didn't want Caspian's death. He just wanted Caspian to get over his grudges and leave him alone...

When Caspian returned to his room, the first thing he did was slam the door in anger. All the servants in the area could see he was furious, so they made themselves scarce.

He didn't have anything he could break, so he just kicked the dresser and couch out of frustration.

"Boyfriend?! What a fucking joke!"

When Caspian and Norton were looking for someone in Silas' Legion to do the job, the reason they picked Grey was that he had little to no connections with Silas. They made sure that the two had never talked, never interacted, or even breathed the same air in a room for more than 10 minutes! The only possibility he could think of was that Grey got too soft-hearted and decided to protect Silas instead of killing him on that remote planet.

It wouldn't be surprising if Silas ended up falling in love with his savior.

Should he blackmail Grey? What would happen if he had already told Silas everything and this made Silas trust him even more? It was annoying to think about.
