Jonas, he is not a bad father.

"I have been noticing it for a few days, what exactly are you doing? You keep making excuses to make me stay away from Abaddon, why?

Don't tell me you start to have feelings for me that's why you acting so weird…"

"What? Feelings towards you… not in dreams I had such thoughts. Dude, I'm a straight guy."

"Is that so, then can you kindly explain the meaning behind your actions?"

"That's…"

"That's what?"

Even after organizing his thoughts, Eric couldn't get a chance to spend time with Abaddon because of Aiden, which put Eric in a frustrated situation. It's been three days already, but the situation is the same as before. Every time, Aiden comes up with an excuse and spoils the mood.

Without holding back anymore, Eric questioned Aiden after coming back home. Anyway, before Aiden speak his mind Cain came there to inform someone's visit to their home.

"Jon… Dad!!!"

Seeing injured Jonas in the living room, create an uneasiness in the atmosphere. His white shirt was drenched in blood and his right hand was bandaged. His men also don't look good, there are wounds, scratches, and dust on their body and clothes.

"Don't worry, it's just a small injury. How have you been these days?" Keeping a smile on that scary face, he calmly spoke. However, it sounded so scary to three of them [Eric, Cain, and Aiden], he is acting so weirdly than before.

"I-I'm fine. What brings you here in this state?" Unknowingly, Eric speaks his mind and he quickly changes its phase after feeling gazes from all directions, especially Aiden, who is making a hole in Eric's back. "I mean, you don't look good. I should have come there if you called me."

"I never expect to be an unwelcomed person in my own house."

"That's not what I meant…"

"I'm just joking. It's been weeks since I last saw my son's face, so just came." Somehow, that feels so sincere for some reason.

Anyway, Eric couldn't understand how to respond in such situations. So he changed the topic: "What happened to your hand?"

"It's nothing, just a small scratch." After gently caring the hair of Eric, Jonas cut the conversation and move towards his room, following him Butler Itt also went upstairs.

Suspicions arise in everyone's mind but no one dares to ask anything more.

In Jonas's room.

"It might be hard for you to move your hand, let me help you." Helping him change clothes, Butler Itt continues. "They asked to send a few more men to the dock. But we are currently having a shortage of manpower, what should I say to them?"

"Dispatch the boys out there."

"But master…"

"I know what you are concerned about, but there is nothing we can do now. The products are more costly than our lives. One small mistake can take down everything in a second." Taking a deep breath, Jonas spoke while looking outside the sky through the opened window. There is an uneasiness in his eyes for some reason.

In a hurry, Butler Itt went outside with the men. Time slowly moved; silence covered the mansion. Everyone falls into deep sleep except Jonas, taking two pegs as a painkiller he went inside Eric's room which isn't locked.

Unusually that day, he sits next to his son and watches him sleeping soundly. Without realizing his hands went to cares Eric's hair gently, spending a little more time there Jonas went outside while seeing a red alert in his phone.

The moment, he walks outside Eric awakens from his fake sleep and tries to understand the situation. Anyway, nothing good comes to his conclusion rather than Jonas gone crazy.

But soon after hearing the gunshot sounds from downstairs, makes him feel uneasy. He quickly went to open the door, but it is locked from outside by someone.

At that moment everything makes sense, even it reminds him of an unpleasant memory of his past as well. Keith also went through such a situation once in his life. It be called a turning point in his life, where he lost everything that he cherished in a moment and his whole life changed as its aftereffect.

However, he couldn't understand why such situation recreating right in front of his eyes again. Whatever it is, he doesn't want to lose Jonas as his parents. Locked inside a room, and unable to protect anything, he doesn't want to repeat the history once again.

Even though he has never seen Jonas as his father, he can't turn a blind eye towards the person who tried to protect his son in such a bad situation. Even though he is bad at showing emotion, it's clear that Jonas isn't a bad father. Comparing to the cold-blooded Jonas from the novel, this version is far better.

Meanwhile downstairs.

"Are there any last words you have?" Pointing a gun at Jonas, one of the intruders spoke.

Jonas was badly injured, his wound was reopened, and got shot in his right shoulder. However, before being defeated he also finished a few of the intruders alone.

"May the god bless you, my child." Suddenly all lights turned off in the mansion, and a sound appeared out of nowhere and a gunshot also heard behind it.

Not longing the lights turned ON, and everyone shocked by seeing the one who pointed the gun is lying on the floor instead of Jonas, and the injured Jonas was missing from the place.

"You should have escaped from this place instead of coming here. Why you came here?" Seeing Eric in front of him, Jonas loses his cool. He really doesn't want to involve Eric in this fight.

"Because you tried to protect me... I don't like to owe anything from anyone."

"Oh… I got it." In a disappointed way he reacts and continued. "Anyway, do you have any survival plan?"

There are seven or eight men outside, they are all well-trained and carrying weapons. Jonas is already run out of bullets and with the remaining bullets which Eric had it is hard to kill them all or escape from the place.

"I had a plan, but it sounds slightly crazy for this situation." Eric explains the plan briefly, and he handover a sliver axe to Jonas as a useable weapon.

Hearing the plan and seeing the weapon, he speechlessly looks at Eric as he shouldn't have made him in the first place.
