The air in the room was thick with tension as Raven, accompanied by Hunt beside him, settled themselves seated in his father's office, encircled by an assorted crowd summoned to hear his momentous announcement.

Kinaumagahan ng bumalik ang memorya niya, hindi na sila nagsayang ng oras ni Hunt na bumalik sa Malacañang. It was Raven's decision and he's never been more sure about this.

Sev was present, seated beside Dashwin and the others, their perplexed expressions reflecting the growing confusion.

Kei fidgeted restlessly in his chair, his curiosity piqued.

Cameron stayed silent, visibly intrigued, but also concerned.

Dashwin was similarly quiet, but his worried face mirrored his inner turmoil as he looked at Raven.

Meanwhile, Axel appeared unperturbed, maintaining an outwardly cool demeanor.

Walang nagsasalita kahit isa kasi hinihintay pa nila ang ang mga magulang ni Raven na may inaasikaso pang trabaho na tinawagan niya lang ng biglaan at sinabing may importante siyang sasabihin.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted as the door to the office burst open, jolting every pair of eyes towards the new arrival.

Raven's gaze lingered on this figure for a moment, as an uncanny sense of familiarity washed over him.

A hush fell over the room as everyone watched Hunt rise and address the man.

"Father, you made it," Hunt greeted.

A collective gasp escaped the lips of everyone present when they beheld Hunt standing up and addressing the man with a respectful greeting.

"Gustav, what is the meaning of this?" Malamig ang boses ng lalaki na lahat sila ay parang kinilabutan.

Hunt met his gaze, "You'll see, Father."

The man standing before them exuded an air of authority and charisma, his military uniform accentuating his imposing presence. His square jaw and stern expression gave him an intimidating aura that instantly commanded power.

The wrinkles and lines on his face hinted at his years of experience, and his sharp eyes surveyed the room with a no-nonsense intensity.

Now Raven understand where Hunt got all his aura from.

The man's stern expression remained unchanged as he fixed Hunt with a steely gaze. He looked at his son, unimpressed, and finally spoke.

"Is that how you greet your General?" he said, his voice authoritative yet tinged with the slightest hint of disappointment.

Hunt rolled his eyes, "Oh, come on," he retorted, "Cut me some slack, I'm retired, remember? And is that really how you're gonna be after seeing your son? Just take a seat."

Nagkatitigan sina Raven at ang iba. Kung gaano sila ka intimidated, ganon naman ka walang pakialam si Hunt sa ama niya.

Tinuro ni Hunt ang upuan at napabuntong hininga nalang ang ama nito bago sumunod, "Hindi ka pa rin nagbabago, Hunt. You're still so harsh to me."

The General's eyes landed on Raven, kaya bigla itong napatayo at bumati rito. "Nice to meet you, Sir. I'm Raven, the president's son." He offered a hand and secretly sighed with relief when the General accepted.
