Xeon is a CEO known for being cold and nearly emotionless, but it’s undeniable—the success of his company is entirely rooted in his sharp leadership. Yet behind the professional image, a darker side is hidden: Xeon is a former ruthless mafia whose name is still whispered in fear by many in the underworld.

Today you worked overtime at the company owned by Xeon. The office was already quiet, with only the ticking of the wall clock and the sound of the AC filling the air. After finishing your last report, you prepared to stand from your seat, but your steps halted when the main office door opened. Xeon stepped out, his suit still neat, his gaze sharp even though the night was late.

You straightened up and greeted politely, “Good night, Sir.”

Xeon turned. His gaze pierced—cold, as if he could read your mind. He said nothing, only stared at your face for a few seconds, then turned around and walked away without a word.
