Chapter 17 - Unnatural heat

Zhu Kang poked his head out of the surface and glanced at the cooling chairs. By then, that familiar figure had already left the area.

"Phew! Finally,"

"What is it?" Ruth glanced at him with his brows raised.

"Nothing," Zhu Kang chuckled happily. His eyes still went to the corner where that familiar blond man had been seated. 'Why the heck was he looking at me like that? Gosh, I felt like I would be devoured,'

He shivered a little, just thinking about the heat in his gaze. 'Seriously, what is with that family? Altren comes and torments me and this guy just glares at me from the distance,'

Zhu Kang gulped, wetting his dry throat. Even in the cooling water, he could feel his body warming up slightly.

"Hey, I have a beach ball with me. Do you want to play?"

Zhu kang snapped awake. 'I need to cool myself down,'

"y—yea.... is it in your bag? I'll bring it," Zhu Kang pulled himself out of the water and moved to the resting chairs. Ruth had carelessly tossed his bag over one of the wet chairs. He pulled it open to find an inflatable ball, and an inflatable float inside. 'This kid came prepared.'

Smiling slightly, he tossed it into the pool.

As he was walking back, something caught his eyes.

Near the empty glass was a neatly folded crane.

His legs moved towards it without control. He picked it up gently and caressed the folded head. The cloth was smooth and soft to touch.

"Aren't you a beauty? And the man who made you was also a beauty himself," he mumbled, glancing at the empty chair.

He had to admit he was drawn to Altren's uncle. Just by his looks alone, Altren's uncle can bend even a straight man.

Zhu Kang could not explain this attraction, though. It was similar to how a moth would feel to a flame. Even though it knows it's dangerous, it flies close to the fire, warming its body.

Zhu Kang shivered slightly.

His body could still remember the feeling of holding that man.

Only one word could describe him. 'Strong. That man had a very strong body.'

From the chiselled abs to his muscular back. Everything looked like it was sculptured on to him.

He salivated just thinking about it.

On the contrary.. He glanced at his own body.

It was not that impressive. Even his own brother was more jacked than him.

'And he is my twin. What an insult? Why are you like this, my new body?' he caressed his tummy. 'Maybe I should start drinking protein shake or something,'

'Who am I kidding, though? I work so any part times I bet my flesh just melted away from that,' he once again patted his abs.

"You hungry?" Ruth shouted from the pool.

"Nope, just thinking about something,"

Zhu Kang placed the folded crane carefully on the chair and ran back to the poll.

Ruth glanced at him weirdly. "Do you know that person who was sitting there?"

Zhu kang looked at him with his brows rasied. 'why is he asking me that?'

"No, but I have met him once before. He is Altren's uncle," he mumbled, leaning casually against the pool's wall.

"Gasp, that was Aaron Zain?!! Oh my god, are you being serious!!!"

Zhu Kang looked at him weirdly. "Yeah, is he some kind of hotshot or something?"

Ruth swam in front of him and paused with his mouth agape. "You seriously don't know him?"

"No," he just shrugged. 'I'm new to this world buddy, I don't know anything…,' he thought curiously, looking at him.

"He is the youngest Forbes millionaire in the entire world. Every little of his actions controls almost all of our finances." Ruth exaggeratedly shouted.

"I don't think you know how our economy works," Zhu Kang patted his shoulders lightly.

Ruth pouted. "I'm serious, wait," he jumped out of the pool and came back with his phone. "Look at today's news,"

The newspaper article read, "Aaron likes lemonades."

Zhu Kang just blinked. The news was on the first page for goodnes's sake. 'What shitty reporter decided on the first page? You could have at least put us, the Gemini twins on!'

"What kind of news is that? Is this a local tabloid or something?"

"No! This is an international one! And you know just after this news aired, lemons worldwide went out of stock. There was a fucking lemon shortage. Do you understand the magnitude of his presence?" Ruth looked at him with his eyes wide open.

Zhu Kang grimaced. 'So he was a big shot. But isn't this overboard? Why would there be a lemon shortage from this news? Maybe this guy has fanatic young fans who would buy anything he likes.' He thought as he nodded his head.

In one of the worlds he assisted, his client was a Kpop idol. He was not that famous, but even so, many girls were ready to anything for him. To the extent of killing and maiming.

'so this Aaron guy is like that Kpop idol? That sounds so terrible. Maybe I should stay away from Aaron after all. This dangerous attraction is not going to be a good thing,' he thought, shuddering a little.

Ruth slumped down, sitting with his legs immersed in the pool. "It really is awesome that you met him,"

"I guess so,"

"Hey Kang, are you close with... Altren.." Ruth mumbled, dwindling with his thumb.

Zhu Kang raised a brow.

"It's... it's because he has been dropping by our dorm quite often lately," Ruth whispered with a sad look in his eyes.

Zhu Kang glanced at him with a weird look on his face. "Why would you even think that? I am not close to that Altren and I never will be. We are just working on a project,"

"oh.." Ruth looked weirdly relieved. "I was asking because there has been a rumour going on that he is related to the Mighty light academy."

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah, because he is Aaron's nephew. Rumours are spreading that Aaron might be the owner of the mighty light academy himself. I'm not sure though.. It's better not to get involved with anyone super. Their life is in constant danger and anyone close to them will be implicated after all."

"Let's get out," Zhu Kang left the pool feeling even more stifling.

'Everything makes sense.'

Altren's uncle was a rich man... and it's highly possible that he might be a super human himself.

He clenched his hands tightly. He could still feel the unnatural heat of that man's hands on his skin.

'That amount of heat is abnormal. And the pool it started to cool down after he left it. Darn it, how can I be so careless.'

'He is definitely a super hero!! shit my life is getting complicated as hell,'
