“Phew... that was close.” Ivo and Cylo breathed a sigh of relief after they managed to leave the forest using Jeff's car.

The two handsome men looked at each other. Cylo was still driving the car, while Ivo sat next to him. They had gone through tremendous tension, so now they could both breathe a sigh of relief.

Honestly, they really didn't expect to be surrounded like that by the Black Wolf mafia. Moreover, their highest leader was also involved in the siege. It was completely unexpected.

Fortunately, they managed to escape safely. Who knows what would have happened if they had been caught by the mafia? Moreover, they still clearly remembered how the two highest leaders chased them. Truly, they never wanted to experience a situation like that again.

Even Cylo still clearly remembered how Jeff stared at him intently. The mafia leader really intimidated him and said lewd things to him. It seemed like the dominant man was gay and interested in him. But really, Cylo was not interested in Jeff. He had a lot of work to do, rather than dealing with the mafia boss.

Like Cylo, Ivo also clearly remembered Law's smirk as he stared at him hungrily. The deputy leader of the Black Wolf mafia was truly intimidating and lewd. Even from a distance of 20 meters, Ivo could tell that Law was a dominant bastard who liked to play with gay bottoms. Yes, even though the tattooed man's charm was very strong, Ivo was still sane enough to reject him and maintain his life as it was.

“Huh...” For the umpteenth time, these two cute men sighed over what had happened earlier.

Slowly, the atmosphere in the car became lighter as their tension gradually faded. Cylo refocused on driving the car while Ivo looked out the window. The sky was still dark, and they felt very tired. Both of them really needed rest.

“FUCK! IT TURNS OUT THAT THE MAFIA LEADER IS A PERVERT! DAMN IT!” Ivo shouted unconsciously. He was always like this when something was bothering him. The image of Law still lingered in his mind.

Suddenly, Cylo was also surprised by Ivo's shout. He didn't expect Ivo to say something that he thought should be kept private. Yeah, he knew that the mafia leaders were so perverted that they would seduce them. But it shouldn't be said so bluntly, right? They were only temporary partners, not friends who shared confidences with each other. 

“I'm really going crazy, Cylo. That bastard was like he wanted to rape me, and his gaze was like he was undressing me. Fuck! I really felt humiliated!” Ivo spoke again angrily.

Cylo finally glanced at Ivo. It seemed like he also had to be more open with this hacker.

“Yeah, I feel it too. It seems like we are being targeted by the mafia leaders. Really, I don't want to meet him again. It's as if he wants to enjoy me until I'm paralyzed on the bed.” He shuddered in horror and then refocused on driving the car. 

“You're right, I also feel like that tattooed man wanted to rape me until I was paralyzed.” Ivo also shuddered in horror. “But it seems like they planned this from the start because they were waiting for us at the first point where we split up. Damn. If we had known it would be like this, we might have chosen to leave there immediately.”

“Yeah, we should have. But never mind, the most important thing is that we managed to destroy the algorithm and escape from those perverted mafia guys.”

Cylo and Ivo looked at each other, then smiled and shouted in satisfaction.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car became cheerful. Their mission was complete, and they were feeling better. It was worth it for them to put their egos aside and choose to work together, because the result was what they had hoped for.

In addition, their relationship also felt closer. Cylo felt more comfortable with Ivo, and vice versa. Although they had previously seemed to want to kill each other, their feelings had now changed to mutual affection, akin to that of friends. 

Yeah, there was always something to learn from an event. And from this, they understood that even though they hated each other when they first met, it didn't mean they had to continue being enemies. There were times when they had to put aside their egos for a common goal. And after that, they could get to know each other.

“Thank you, Cylo. You've been my temporary partner. And I think I want to be friends with you,” said Ivo, who was finally honest about his comfort with this hitman.

"Yeah, I'm also grateful to you for working together to complete the mission. And yeah, let's be friends. It doesn't seem too bad to get to know each other better."

The two sweet men shook hands and then laughed contentedly.

Tonight was not only their success in destroying the algorithm, but it was also the beginning of their friendship. A friendship that might lead them to something they never expected before.

After that, the atmosphere in the car became lively as Cylo and Ivo chatted cheerfully. They discussed many things together, like friends of the same age, and they even continued to curse the Black Wolf mafia leaders who had been targeting them. This brought them even closer together.

“Hahaha, you're right. They seem obsessed—”

Bang!

Suddenly, the car hit a tree trunk on the road, causing it to skid and become difficult to control. Cylo tried to control it, but the car continued to speed towards a police car parked on the side of the road.

Crash!

Cylo crashed into the police car with force, and Ivo, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was immediately thrown out. Immediately, the police car's alarm went off loudly.

“Oh shit. The police are coming,” muttered Ivo, sitting on the ground and staring at a police officer walking towards him.

“You! You have to come to the station for crashing into a police car!” shouted the police officer when he was in front of Ivo. He was really annoyed that someone was speeding at this early hour and crashed into his car.

Ivo immediately panicked but couldn't do anything about it. Damn it. It was as if he were the one at fault here, when in fact it was Cylo who caused this to happen. “No, it's not—”

“You, hey,” Cylo suddenly said to the police officer after he got out of the car. “Don't you know me, dear?”

The police officer shifted his gaze to Cylo. He frowned, not understanding what the handsome man was saying.

“Oh, it seems you've completely forgotten me, dear.” Cylo continued to stare intently at the police officer as he walked closer to him.

The policeman fell silent, and Ivo also fell silent, watching what Cylo was doing. 

Meanwhile, Cylo continued walking towards the policeman. He made a sensual face and pressed his body against the policeman's. His hands moved across the policeman's chest, while his mischievous gaze continued to stare into the policeman's eyes.

“Are you sure you don't remember me, dear?”

The policeman began to be lulled. “Yeah, I—”

Punch!

Cylo quickly kicked the officer in the groin, then raised both hands, clenched them into fists, and slammed them into the officer's head, knocking him unconscious.

Ivo was immediately stunned. He really didn't expect a cold man like Cylo to have mastered such seduction techniques. It impressed him.

“Oh, so you're good at seduction too,” said Ivo with a whistle.

Cylo rolled his eyes lazily. “I had no choice.” He extended his hand to help Ivo stand up. “I think we should find a place to rest. My body can't take it anymore.”

“Yes, let's find a place to rest around here, Mr. Charmer,” teased Ivo, which made Cylo even more uncomfortable. However, with this, their relationship became more open and less awkward than it had been before.

Meanwhile, at headquarters, Jeff and Law were thinking about the condition of their prospective partners because they began to sense movement from the Blood mafia. This was the result of the previous battle over the mind control chipset, so it had to be carefully considered.

Looking at everything that had happened, Jeff and Law realized that the Blood mafia would certainly take revenge on the people who had prevented them from obtaining the mind control chipset. Of course, they would not discriminate in their revenge. And that was what Jeff and Law were discussing now.

“What do you think, Law? Who will they attack first?”

"Yeah, you're right, Jeff. Our potential partners will be the Blood Mafia's first targets. They wouldn't dare confront us anytime soon."

Jeff nodded. That was right. The bastard mafia wouldn't dare fight his own mafia group. But Cylo and Ivo, who work individually, were ideal targets. So it was certain that the Blood mafia would target them first.

“But we can take advantage of this, right?” asked Law with a grin.

Jeff also grinned. His mind was filled with crazy ideas to get his sweet man immediately. “Yeah, we'll take advantage of this conflict.”

These two dominant men became even more excited in following the game of their potential partners. Their previous meeting had made it impossible for Jeff and Law to get Cylo and Ivo out of their minds. They were already crazy about these sweet men, so they would continue to pursue Cylo and Ivo until they got them.

“It looks like this doubleshot mission has turned into a mission to find partners, Jeff,” said Law, who was really looking forward to him and Jeff going on a double date with their respective partners.

Truly, his meeting with Ivo had completely changed him. He no longer went to the gay bars he always frequented, and he even stopped playing with the gay bottoms out there. Law just stayed at headquarters and did his best to get rid of his fuckboy habits. He did this so he could focus on getting Ivo.

“Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too, Law.” Jeff had the same desire. He wanted to find the ideal partner for himself and then go on a double date with Law.

Truly, his meeting with Cylo also made him feel different. He no longer cared about the gay label he might get for liking men. But Jeff really didn't care about that, and he remained determined that he was indeed crazy about the hitman. He tried to position himself as the leader, but also continued to do his best to get Cylo.

And with that, these two dominant men looked at each other and then gave each other a brotherly hug. They would not let Cylo and Ivo slip away from them again. They would make those sweet men lie on their beds.

“You are marked, so wherever you go, you are still ours.”
