We entered Dad's room, Xavier, Xander, Xandrix, and Xendric were there looking through files and computers.

"What is it?" I asked.

"We found more information about Raven, and his parents." Drix said.

"What? Our parents are already dead." Gerald said.

"HIS parents, not yours. That's one more. But before that, Raven Hara or Xhien Veneventura. He's the legitimate child of Carvin and Elizalde Veneventura. Heir of Ventur World of Skies. Gerald, your parents and his are great friends. That's why when Xhien was in big danger, he was sent to your parents. He lived with them — he was said to be 2 months old at the time, then you were born. He became your brother, and no, you're not twins, you two look a lot like each other, that's why they decided to let you two grow up thinking you're twins."

"Is that even possible?" Gerald asked.

"Yes, two unrelated individuals could appear remarkably similar, “unrelated twins.” and that's what happened to the both of you." Lorenz explained.

"Another thing is, Raven have known this fact since your parents died." Drix said.

Shock was evident on Gerald's face, he seem hurt— acceptable feelings. He still do love his brother, Raven. He doesn't want him to die, but he also don't want Raven to hurt our family anymore. He treated this family his too. My mom as his sister— their princess.

"Then, what are you planning to do now?" I asked.

"We already talked to Mr. And Mrs. Veneventura, they're denying having a child, but records on their hospital said that she did gave birth to a baby boy which they named Xhien." Xander explained.

"Whilst, Raven's original birth certificate stated that his name is Xhien Veneventura. I only have a soft copy of Raven's birth certificate, which isn't enough to blackmail them."

"Blackmail? Why do you need to blackmail them?" Gerald asked.

"I have a lot of suspicions and theories in my mind. And 1 of them is that Raven isn't doing this on his own accord." Xandrix explained.

"That means— fuck." We all looked at Gerald.

"What?" I asked.

He looked at me, "Keep an eye on Amellia. Not just one eye, make it a billion or so. I already know what my brother is planning."

"Tell us." Dad commanded.

Gerald sighed, "Veneventuras own thousands of companies around the world, 3 of which is inside your territory. Losing those 3 won't affect them that much, but it'll be a great opportunity for them to attack secretly. VenSkies and one of your company are in a deal, you both own half of each. Amellia can't go anywhere near those companies. Raven's people will probably be there, or you'll be shocked to hear a news of explosion near where Amellia is. They won't kill her, but they would probably find a way to take her, to take what's most precious to your family." Gerald explained.

"They're inside our territory, how the hell would they be able to hurt her?" Xander asked.

"Like I said, they're inside your territory, there are news going around in the underworld ground that Hara-Ruscov and the Veneventura's relationship has been going off the scale, that Ruscovs are planning to take Veneventura out of business, out of their way."

"If we wanted to do that, we would've done that years ago without anyone knowing." I reasoned out. "But how do you know all of this?" I asked.

"This news came from someone I know in the underground. All of the things I know is because I've been investigating the reason of why I saw my brother talk to Zen Veneventura, a nephew of Elizalde and Carvin. But it never came for me to find out that he's the 'dead' son of Veneventura. And some are just basic information that you'll get if search thoroughly."
