Brazenness Tames the Workaholic Trash

A few days before...

"ugh! Why is Ron so vicious?!" Cale just finished running his laps. Of course, Ron had to make use he's not using the sound of the wind while keeping up with Ohn and Hong.

"Dad! You got a little muscle now!" Ohn happily said as she jumped over Cale's shoulder.

"Dad?" Hong curiously asked and looked at Cale too.

"wanna call me that?" Cale asked.

"Hm! Dad!" Hong pats Cale's leg with his paw.

"What a cute sight!" Athanasia came into view with a towel in her hands. She wiped the sweat rolling down Cale's face and neck. She also handed him some water while smiling gently at him.

"Mommy Human." It was Raon. Cale looked at him in surprise but later smirk when Ohn and Hong repeated, "Mom! Mom!"

Cale looks down and saw Athanasia smiling at the children.

"is that okay?"

"of course..." she crouched down and at eye level the kitten, the dragon beside the kitten, and the silver kitten jumping down from Cale's shoulder. "Can I be your Mom?"

Three wide smiles greeted the blonde girl. Cale couldn't help but smile as he excused himself from their bonding. Cale had been contemplating before whether Athanasia would accept his wards. If she didn't, he would have prepared for the children separately. He didn't want them to live with insecurities just as that jerk said so.

But seeing this view, he relaxed at the thought. If Athanasia can be this open and loving to children, not his – she would become a good mother without question.

However, Cale did not expect to come back home with such a ruckus. He pulled Hans and asked, "what's wrong?"

"Ah... young Lord-nim! Eruhaben-nim and Fredo-nim just got back..." Hans was breathing heavily. "and they looked like forcing something on Chef Vicross."

At the same time, the doors of the kitchen opened with a bang. One can see a disheveled Vicross trying to run away from the ancient dragon and vampire lord.

"ha.." Cale tried to stop himself from laughing. Poor Vicross had to incur the wrath of the two supernatural beings because of his stubbornness.

"you dense bastard... drink this down! Lemonade gramps hold down your son properly!" Eruhaben orders the poor old father. Vicross had way more strength than Ron, so Ron struggle to keep his son in check.

"Young Master!" Vicross almost cried begging but his voice is still as stern as ever.

"Drink this! You dense bastard!" Eruhaben followed suit. He transformed into a dragon once he got out in the field chasing after Vicross. He pins the poor chef on the ground with his claws and forced him into that somewhat scary purple-black concoction.

"Young master!"

Cale didn't look at him and just crouch down.

"you know what happens to me if I interfere."

Vicross gulps down. Cale already took the damn vial from the old dragon. "sorry, Hyung... this is for humanity's sake."

"you ---!"

*chug!*

Cale made him drink the damn concoction. The dragon let him go once he drank every once of it.

"disgusting."

"you bastard... how dare you call a dragon's hard work – disgusting?"

Vicross didn't say anymore. He slowly stood up but he felt dizzy. "what ---?" he can feel his temperature rising.
