Stepping out of Cerberus once again, I looked up at the house that belonged to the Liu Family.  There was no one guarding outside, but the gates were closed. I narrowed my eyes, unsure if there was anyone there or not.

The men got off of their motorcycles and placed their helmets on the seats. No one would be dumb enough to try and take the bikes, and even if they were, the bikes wouldn't let them. I looked at the four of them from where I was leaning against the hood of my truck.

I took in a deep breath as Liu Yu Zeng pushed the gates open, only to see them locked with a long chain and a padlock. "Well, someone should be in there then," I said as I saw that the gate was locked from the inside out. It was smart, but seeing as the gate itself was full of spaces between the metal posts, it wouldn't be that great of a deterrent for any zombies. 

Wang Chao walked up to the gate and rattled the bars a few times. When no one came out to see what was going on, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the chain holding the gate shut. Within seconds the metal was melted and fell to the ground in an unusable heap.

This time when Liu Yu Zeng pushed on the gate, it swung open without any issues. "Useful," he said, smiling at Wang Chao.

"I try," the other man said, his face not moving so much as a muscle. I chuckled as I turned my attention to the truck. 

"Will you guys be okay out here?" I asked as I looked around. I could feel eyes on me, but none of them belonged to my stalker. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"We'll be just fine, Sweetheart," said Reaper calling me the same nickname as Liu Wei. I just smiled as I walked over to the bike.

"You sure?" I asked again, wanting to make sure that they would not suffer if we left them alone for a few minutes. I knew that it was a bit excessive, but still.  I ran my hands over the handlebars, and the bike's engine seemed to purr.

"I am sure. We will be fine and waiting for you when you come out. If you need us, call Cerberus, and we will race to your rescue."

"You are so sweet," I whispered to Reaper as I gave him a little kiss on the front of the bike before I stood up.

"Remember, any time you want to ride one of us, I am here for you!" Reaper called out as I stood up and walked toward the gate where the boyos were standing at. "Sounds good!" I yelled back as I crossed the threshold to the ugliest mansion I had ever seen. Like seriously, I thought that I hated it when I first came here simply because I was in a bad mood with too much caffeine in my system, but it turns out the place is really just that ugly. 

"I think this place might have even gotten uglier," I said out loud as I stared at the obtuse-angled mansion with a tower in the center.

"You don't like it?" asked Liu Yu Zeng, surprised. "It was frigging expensive."

"Yes, well, money apparently can't buy taste because that is 'U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi.'" Great, now I had that song stuck in my head. Yet another thing to blame on the mansion. We made it up to the front doors without anyone stopping us.I think you should take a look at



"Think they are still alive?" I asked as Liu Wei knocked on the front door and waited for a few minutes.

"I am not sure," he admitted as he wrapped his arm around my waist as we stood side by side, waiting for something to happen.

-----

It took a few minutes, but the door finally opened, and a huge man stood in front of me, a frown marring his face. Or maybe it was the giant scar that went from the top right to the bottom left of his face that did that. I couldn't be sure, and I figured that it would be impolite to ask.

"Liu  Yu Xuan, you are back," came the voice of the giant. But of course, like every other part of my life, size was subjective because as much as he looked like an immovable mountain, he was dwarfed by Chen Zi Han.

"You are blocking our way, Cheng Feng," growled my protector, and I couldn't hold back my smile. I would have to admit that I was worried about how the syndicate boyos would react to being back in their home, but I guess I really didn't have to worry.

"The head has decreed that no one is allowed in or out without his express permission," replied the mountain man.

"The head is standing in front of you. How could he make an order like that?" asked Liu Yu Zeng with a smirk on his face. His old persona was bleeding into his very being as the smirk was much colder and more deadly than it had been when it was just us.

"The old head," clarified Cheng Feng, still not bothering to move so that we could go in.

"I take it he is still alive then?" I asked in a disappointed tone. The man's gaze swung down to look at me, his eyes narrowing as he took in the fact that Liu Wei had his arm around me.

"Of course he is alive," replied the man, completely emotionless. Now, I wasn't that much of a shit disturbed, but sometimes I really just had to stir the pot.

"Awe, that's too bad. How is his wife?" I asked with a huge smile on my face. "Her name was Wu Bai Hee, right?" I continued as I tilted my head to the side.

"Miss Wu is not his wife. In fact, she is the fiancé to the man whose arm is around you."

"Bless your heart," I replied with a smile before it dropped. "But I will kill anyone that suggests that again. Did you want to be the first to try? The last guy that was roasted by my flames didn't seem to last that long. I bet you'll last longer."
