COMFIRMED
Athena POV
When I heard the helicopter sound, I hurried down to the water and took Clyde.
I felt bad about it since we were an ambush earlier during our travel. I know our lives are in danger because all the bodyguards were alerted.
I ran fast while carrying Clyde. Likewise, I also saw Mr. Frown running towards us. Not only that, but I thought he was just going to take Clyde, but I was also surprised when he took my hand and brought us inside the house.
“Don't go out and just stay inside. Are we clear?” he instructed us.
I just nodded while holding the crying child. He was probably scared of the gunfire outside even I was surprised.
“Be careful.” I just told him before he left.
He held my hand holding his arm.
I was surprised when he smiled slightly before leaving us inside the house.
....
“Ugly maid what's going on?” Clyde asked tearfully. We are in the bedroom, and he is currently dressed after rinsing.
I didn't hear any noise from outside when inside.
“There are bad guys outside, and we need to stay here.” I explained to him.
“I'm scared.” and his tears finally fell.
I wiped the tears from his cheeks.
“Isn't you're a big boy? Big boys should not be afraid.” I consoled him.
“But I'm still scared.” he answered crying.
I hugged him.
“Shh...don't be scared, imagine your favorite Superman is coming, and he will save the scared boy like you.” I even raised my voice to cheer him up. “When you are scared, just shout his name, so he can come and save you.” I added.
He lightened up and stop crying.
“Really?” he asked while looking at me.
“Of course.” I smiled in response.
“If I call superman today, will he come and help my Dad outside?” at a young age, he was aware of what was going on around him.
“Call him then, your Dad will be here because Superman has already helped him.” I know Superman is just a fabricated character, but when it comes to the child like Clyde, its real.
Superhero's can ease the fear of this child.
“Superman!!!” he shouted.
He waited for Superman to come.
“Why isn't he didn't come yet?” he asked with a frown. Forgot the fear he felt.
“Maybe he's traffic on the way.” I reasoned.
“You're just fooling me.” he frowned
“No, maybe your Dad is already downstairs because Superman already helped him?” I just answered.
He was excited and quickly got off his bed.
“Where are you going?” I asked even though I knew he wanted to come down.
“I'll see if Dad is downstairs, and I'll ask if he saw Superman.” he immediately run out of the room, so I followed him.
...
...
“Dad!!” he said excitedly to see his father downstairs.
Sitting in the living room and facing the three companions. They seemed to be talking seriously, because they were quiet when we arrived.
“Dad, did you see Superman?” he immediately asked his Father while sitting next to him.
He frowned and looked at me. I just gestured to nod.
“Yeah. Why baby?” it's a tender question to the child.
The three of them were quiet. They do not seem to have a single scratch.
“Because I called him earlier. Ugly Maid said when I asked for Superman's help, he would come and help scared children like me. But I asked him to help you.” He was happy to tell his father.
Mr. Frown looked at me again who had smiled at me earlier, but it was gone now, he's back being Mr. Frown. He seemed to want to convey a silent message because he also looked at his three companions.
“Clyde come on. You've seen your Dad. You need to sleep, superman doesn't want a naughty child.” I nursed the child who hurriedly joined me.
I just nodded to Mr. Frown. Not only that, but I don't know how we understand each other even a simple nod.

Xander POV
When I left the Villa, the helicopter flew away. It looks like someone is just scaring us because no one was hurt in the firing earlier.
We went back inside the Villa when Clyde suddenly came down followed by Athena.
I remember what happened earlier in the car. I need to forget and ignore that incident especially how I feel about it.
She also invited Clyde right away, maybe she felt we needed to talk and understand my gesture.
....
“Agatha, have you traced who carried out the attack earlier?” I asked as Athena and Clyde left.
“Yes, Sir. Scorpion Gang is one of the Sham Organization underling and their based is here in the Philippines. According to the information I got, they were also the ones who carried out the attack on us earlier and the person who attempted to take you down to the mansion, but I cannot trace who's in charge of them especially in the Sham Organization.” Agatha replied.
“I know them, they are responsible for the death of our family members.” I have long suspected Sham of what is happening right now, and now I can be sure. I don't remember that our family has an enemy before, but Sham Organization suddenly appeared and disrupted our quiet life. “Any estimated underlings?” I asked.
“They have 20 underlings in the Philippines and almost 3000 in different countries. The number is bigger in Korea because that is where their main base is. They're members are too much to handle, Sir.” I sighed deeply.
We can't handle such a large group. If an underling has 100 members, they are still large compared to our number. The group I formed is not a comprehensive force. It is just for the protection of our family.
“Okay dismiss. Let's talk tomorrow. Take a break.” I said and proceed to my own room in the Villa.
...
...
I just came out of the bathroom while just folding a towel on my lower body. I went to the walk in closet in this room. Likewise, I also have some things in the Villa, so I only carry a little.
Furthermore, I walked out of the walk in closet while carrying the clothes. It is not my habit to change inside the walk in closet. I take my clothes to the bedroom and change. I'm used to that.
....
I am removing the towel knot on my waistband, but I was interrupted.
“Do you plan to dress in front of me?” I heard the familiar sound from the voice changer.
Hawk.
I looked at his place same with the previous encounter, he was also sitting on the sofa inside the room.
“How did you find me?” I asked him while adjusting the knot of the towel around my waist.
“I have my eyes on you, Aidan.” he answered.
He seems to be getting used to call my second name. I just let him even though he was the only one calling me that.
“What do you need?” I asked again. I was still standing in front of him wearing only a towel.
“Why didn't you change first?” he asked, but the tone was still the same.
“Why? Are you not comfortable? Are you a girl?” I venture. It is easy to find out his other information if I know if he is female or male.
“Oh. Do you want me to watch you, instead? Okay go ahead. I don't care, though, you have a great body built.” he playfully said.
If Hawk was a woman, she would probably have attacked me or shouted at me for crossing my body in front of her. But even she is a woman, I still have respect even though she is scary. But if he is a man, it is more awkward if I dress in front of him.
I don't think a powerful like Hawk is a girl.
I just shrugged and went back inside the walk in closet to change.
“Wear comfortable clothes.” he command me again.
I just obey him because I feel he can be trusted despite his personality.
....
“What is it?” I asked him after walking out of the closet again.
“Do you want to kick some ass*s tonight?” he's voice is playful again.
“What?” I did not understand him very well.
“TSK. Do you want a peaceful vacation? Follow me, we'll kick some ass*s tonight.” now I know what he means.
“How?” I asked.
“Follow me.” he ordered me and headed to the bedroom veranda.
He suddenly jumped from my room downstairs.
Holy sh*t.
My room is on the fourth floor.
I quickly peeked if he was okay. I even caught him just standing up from the jump before I was prompted to follow. I just shook my head and went through the shortcut down from my room.
“Why do you need to jump wherein I have a shortcut way?” I asked him as I followed him.
“You didn't tell me.” he simply answered.
It is creepy to listen to his voice because of his voice changer.
...
We got to the back of the house and
No doubt when he climbed the gate that as high as the five-story Villa itself.
Why this man have so many talents?
I couldn't wait for him to call me because like my bedroom it also has a shortcut.
...
I just caught up with him while leaning on a red Ducati Panigale V4 R? Sh*t, this is the fastest motorcycle in the world. Of course, with expensive price.
I looked into his face only eyes could see.
“Come on, we only have overnight.” he said and got into his motorcycle.
I looked for another vehicle, but I could not find anything other than his.
Don't tell me...
“Hurry up.” he invited.
I knew it.
“Tell me, are you a boy or girl?” I need to make sure so that I am aware, until now I'm still doubtful about his identity.
“Just see it for yourself, Man.” he responds.
I also rode back in his motorcycle. This is the first time I'm not the one who drive. Normally, I drive a motorcycle but no one at the back.
I was not quite able to sit up when the motorcycle suddenly started moving.
“Sh * t.” I just said and grabbed Hawk's shoulder unwillingly.
His shoulder is too small compared to a man's built but his undeniably strong like a man.
Based on his driving speed, only natural men can do it.
I can no longer see much of what we are going through at his super speed. My grip on his shoulder also tightened. Even I, I am not able to run like this.
Confirmed.
Hawk is a man.
