Chapter 3 TWENTY YEARS

Twenty Years Later

B Country now became one of the largest economies in the world with the B city becoming the most luxurious and advanced city in the world. The country got the best reputation with high-income citizens and a low rate of poor citizens, even in rural areas.

Well-developed economy, high technology, advanced communication, a lavish lifestyle, top in fashion, B city became the dream of every other citizen to live in and they knew to get those dreams, they needed to get a place into the biggest contributor to B country's economy, the X Clan.

X Clan was the one that holds over sixty percent of the B country's economic activities. From food chains, clothing lines, jewelry, restaurants, café, hotels, cars, phones, buildings, laws, even the underground world, and pretty much everything, it got X labeled on them.

X Clan became one of the most famous clans in the world because they were the one in the top list of the wealthiest clans that ever existed.

The X Clan was the combination of the most powerful families in the B country. Mu, Si, Luo, Ling, Gu, Lu, and Shao. They became the rulers in the business world and every skyscraper in the B city was the proof of their hard-built empire.

They chose their employees among the best of the best and their empire was the dream where every student wished to get in. The high salary, generous bonus, and other benefits are tempting enough for anyone to get their place in the company.

The other reason was the heirs of the empire that were labeled the most golden bachelor of the country. They were now taking over the company and made it blooming under their new management.

Most of the heiresses, including the female employee, tried their best to get noticed by any of the heirs, and nope! They didn't get a glance from them.

Jackson Mu and Kalen Carina Si's son, Jayden Rafael Mu, were the one that led the X Clan along with his sworn brothers and sisters. He had been taking the role four years ago when he reached the age of twenty at that time.

Jayden and his sworn siblings were given the time of twenty years to do whatever they wanted, and by the age of twenty, they must take over the company.

It was the rule made by his father, to which every one of his sworn fathers agreed because they knew the kids wouldn't have time for themselves in the future. Because they got an empire in line for them to take care of.

Lucky for them, the boys knew their responsibility very well, and they knew it would happen and they had no regret because they had the freedom and enjoyed their life before taking over their family's businesses.

They were geniuses when it comes to business. If their fathers were labeled stone stoic ruthless CEOs, imagine having a younger version of them but with twice more tension.

The boys knew what it takes to be a businessman. They were all well-trained and knowledgeable since they had their masters in business education, plus they had a strict father that showed no mercy when it came to their mistakes.

If not because of their sweet, caring, and loving mother, they might have gotten killed a long time ago.

In the legendary Mu Group building, which is now known as XC Headquarters, the top floor, which is the 60th floor, was where eleven CEOs' offices were located.

The floor was renovated back four years ago to make an office for the boys. Five offices were on each side of the wall. The middle one is where their secretaries work stations.

They preferred to stay together for the reason that they might need each other. Well, that was an excuse because they had their different reason to stay in the building.

One of them was because of the famous beauty in the business world, Jayleen Renee Mu! The one that occupied the room in the middle of the top side of the floor connected each side of the square floor.

The owner of the room's name was nailed to a gold pleated plate on the door. The order of the room was simple. Sorted by the age of the owner. The middle room belongs to Jayleen. It was supposed to be Jayden, but he refused for the reason that his sister was the peacemaker amongst the boys, so she got the middle one.

On the right side of her room, there is Jayden's office, Steven next to it, followed by Nathel, Emanuel, and D twin, Darrel Gu and Dawn Gu.

Dawn is rarely in the office as he is a doctor and spent most of his time in Elite B Hospital, his grandparent's hospital. He was the one that followed his grandparents and his mother's step and he became the youngest surgeon in that hospital.

While on the left, the first room belonged to Kayden Cedro Si, the son of Kevin Cedro Si and Mikayla Gu, cousin of the J twin. He just reached the age of twenty, the same as D twin as he was born two months after Daniel's twin. Kayden was the only son of the couple. No other siblings.

Right next to his room, it was still empty though as the owner has yet reached the age of twenty. He got two more years before he occupied the room. The room belonged to Elijah Mu, Emanuel's little brother. That made two of them the sons of the couple Louis Mu and Emily Fu.

Next to Elijah's room was the other empty room. The room is decorated with pink pretty much everything. It belongs to Nathel's little sister, nineteen years old, Nathaly Adele Ling. Wait a minute! Why does she get her mother's last name? Well, according to her parents, she was a precious one, and they got Angel's mother's name in the middle.

She is indeed special because she was the apple of her parent's eyes and now she is studying law at Harvard University as she wanted to follow in her father's footsteps and become a lawyer. Her brother, Nathel, was a lawyer too, but he wasn't really into that part since he engaged more in the business world.

In fact, her existence was unknown to the world for the reason that they wanted to protect her, which proved true and Nathaly was the one that enjoyed the freedom the most because no media, no reporters coming after her in her school.
