"I just don't want to bother you, Riki," Anton muttered, looking away to avoid Riki's piercing gaze. Finally, Riki, annoyed that Anton kept avoiding his gaze, grabbed Anton's shoulders.

"I'm not bothered. In fact, if you keep me in the dark and make me worry, I'll get annoyed, so hurry up and tell me what's wrong. I can't sleep because I'm thinking about you. What kind of brother would stay silent when his other brother is in trouble?" said Riki. He said it in a tone that suggested Anton had made him very angry. But in Riki's voice, there was also concern and care.

Anton didn't expect that he and Riki would be in such a situation. They depended on each other because they were brothers.

"I'm sorry I made you worry, it's just... I'm still shocked and confused about what to do," muttered Anton.

Riki himself could see that something was wrong with Anton, immediately after seeing Anton upset a few hours earlier. Even though the system then gave him a mission to help Anton. Yeah, the system only said to help Anton, it didn't say anything about an explanation or reward. But what did Riki care about a reward?

He only had Anton now as his brother. Well, he also had Sofie and Nicho, but they were younger siblings. Meanwhile, Anton was Riki's older brother, older than Riki. Riki used to have Evan, but Evan was very busy now. Riki couldn't keep depending on Evan, who now even had a girlfriend.

Besides, it was only natural for Riki and Anton to depend on each other, considering they had the same father.

"Try to tell me what happened first, we can find a solution together," said Riki.

Anton nodded, although he still looked upset.

Riki stood up and said, "Wait here, I'll make you a warm drink to calm you down."

Anton also stood up, "I'll come with you..."

Riki chuckled and let Anton follow him to the kitchen.

Riki made a warm drink, boiled water of ginger and lemongrass, with honey added. The herbal aroma calmed them down.

Riki deliberately made it so that Anton would feel relaxed, so that he could talk comfortably.

So they sat in the warmer living room and started chatting.

At first, Anton showed him a message on his cell phone from an unknown number.

Riki's brow furrowed immediately after reading the message.

It read: (I know your brother Andre and your father have been doing evil things to you all this time, babe. Don't worry, I will kill them in prison, so you don't have to feel sad. I will also kill anyone who causes you trouble or is evil to you, including your ex-girlfriend.)

Riki shuddered as he read the message and immediately returned Anton's smartphone.

"What kind of woman is that cruel? Is she your ex-girlfriend who still loves you or something?" asked Riki.

Anton sighed heavily, "I don't have any ex-girlfriends other than Hanni. But I have many female friends. And I also thought it was a message from a woman, but after I traced it, it wasn't even a woman's phone number, but I do know him."

Riki furrowed his brow as he sipped his drink.

"So?"

Anton sighed deeply and heavily, then smiled faintly, "It turns out he was Hansen, my former senior who always helped me in high school. I trusted him, and we were very close. One day, when we were both in college, Hansen suddenly ended up in jail several times. He also escaped from prison several times. Since then, I haven't contacted him again. But, several times, he commented on my social media account. In fact, I told him again, through DM on social media, how I was doing, what was happening to me... without realizing it, I told him everything. So, he knows a lot about me, but... I just realized that I don't know anything about him. When you and the others were playing games earlier, I also looked him up, and it turns out he has a private social media account. There are many photos of me there, all taken secretly. There are normal photos, photos of me sleeping, even photos of me without clothes on, all of them are there. All of them are photos of me from high school until yesterday. You can see for yourself," said Anton, showing his smartphone again.

There was an account with Anton's profile photo, named "Anton's Lover."

Riki felt dizzy seeing all of Anton's photos there, from funny ones, handsome ones, serious ones, normal ones, to inappropriate ones. They were all on that account.

No wonder Anton felt so upset.

"He's obsessed with you, Anton, and he's a man, right? Is he also part of a gang?" asked Riki.

"His father owns several gyms, golf courses, and nightclubs," muttered Anton.

Riki shrugged, "Well, I have more money than him, let's just ask Leon. I don't understand the law, but I think we can sue him. I don't care if he has sexual deviations, but I definitely won't accept him being obsessed with you to the point of secretly taking pictures of you, even when you're not wearing clothes. He will get a heavy punishment."

Anton sighed heavily again, he didn't look relieved at all after hearing Riki's words.

"He's not afraid of the law at all. I think he has someone who is immune to the law. Because he has been imprisoned several times for killing people... and do you know who he killed? They were people who had dealt with me! I think he also targeted you, but because we now have a good relationship, he changed his mind, but still. It's possible that Hannah's life is now in danger."

Riki wasn't entirely convinced by Anton's statement that Hansen was immune to the law, because Riki believed he could be fought. Riki knew several people who had great power.

"I think you're worrying too much, Anton, calm down... I'll make sure he gets the punishment he deserves, okay?"

"What if he really can kill Andre and my Dad, Riki? I know I should hate my father after he abused me when I was little, but still... I once considered him my father, and he once considered me his son. Well, even though I was never his favorite son."

Finally, Riki put down his glass and grabbed both sides of his brother's face.

"Hey, look at me! Everything will be okay, you're strong, don't let a pervert like him get the better of you, okay? Besides, I'm here, I'll protect you, at least, I'll try to protect you, so don't worry," said Riki.

He himself didn't know what made him do it, telling Anton that he would protect him.

In fact, before this, he hated Anton very much, and Anton hated him too.

Riki also remembered Hansen, who used to be very close to Anton in high school.

In the past, Riki and Evan could talk about Hansen, who seemed to be very excessive towards Anton. It was Hansen who made Anton arrogant at school back then, because Hansen would always protect Anton. Hansen and Anton were even closer than Andre and Anton, even though Andre was also Hansen's friend.

Riki also felt that there was something wrong with the way Hansen looked at Anton, but he didn't think it was that bad.

How could Riki have known that Hansen would be so obsessed with Anton?

Riki knew that Anton's feelings were all over the place at that time. Suddenly, the person he trusted from high school turned out to be obsessed with him. It turned out that the deaths of the people who had problems with him were Hansen's doing, under the pretext that he wanted to protect Anton.

Obviously, Anton was very confused at that moment.

"I'm going to rest tomorrow, Riki," Anton muttered.

Riki nodded, "Of course, just rest first, no need to worry too much about Hansen. If you can, find something else to do to forget about it—oh, want to go somewhere to forget about it? But before that, you have to meet Leon first. We'll leave the difficult problems to him."

Hearing that, Anton finally chuckled.

"You're putting a lot of trouble on Leon!"

Riki shrugged, "Well, let him be, he's paid to be bothered like that, right? It's his job."

Anton chuckled for a while, making Riki chuckle along with him.

When Anton finally stopped laughing, he said, "Thanks, Riki, talking to you makes me feel calm. Do you want to hug me so I feel more—"

"Wait, every time you talk to Hansen, do you want a hug too?"

Confused, Anton just nodded. He didn't understand why Riki was angry about it.

"Why? I think it's normal for someone who is close to me, like my mother—"

"Don't compare other people to your family! He might expect more because you're so spoiled by him!"

"I'm not spoiled..."

"That's what you think, but the proof is that he's obsessed with you! The slightest movement from you can turn him on, you idiot!"

"How would I know? I thought he was straight!"

Riki stared at Anton with a puzzled look, "What part of Hansen is straight? It's been obvious since high school, you idiot! You're just too insensitive to your surroundings."

"Why are you getting mad? I didn't know it would turn out like this! My mind is normal, okay? So I'm not sensitive to something that's bent."

Riki tried to calm himself down; it was useless to get mad at Anton right now. Because in high school, Anton really was stupid.
