It was already evening and the housemates were having dinner.

"I think the Untouchables Team will win this challenge once more," Rui commented.

Most housemates agreed, because their stories were not even comparable with what Dean had narrated. They were even so into it that it was hard to easily let go of the topic.

"By the way, I hope you find your elder brother soon," Denver said while looking at Ryu.

"Flower Boy is really something. I'm sure that now you're more curious to find out if Ryu's brother is a Ken or a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. This is really a big scoop and an intriguing one I must say." Gaby said with a jest.

Ryu creased his forehead. His expression dimmed as he said, "He will remain a Ken and we will accept him regardless of what he is. So he is not a b.a.s.t.a.r.d and will never be a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

Gaby arched a brow because of Ryu's sharp words.

Dean, who sensed his big bro Ryu's irritation, interrupted and said with a smile, "Well… One thing is for sure… He surely is a Ken, so let's end this topic with the b.a.s.t.a.r.d thing..."

Dean let out a sigh of relief when Gaby no longer commented.

Meanwhile, Bernard looked at Shawn intently, then s.h.i.+fted his intense gaze to Ryu.

"If you look at Shawn and Ryu, there are lots of similarities. I mean, I could even say you two look like brothers at first glance." Bernard suddenly spoke out of the blue, which made all the housemates stare at them to check his words.

"Ohh, Flower Boy is right…" Randall muttered.

"Wait… Isn't Shawn a…" James stopped when Shawn glared at him and the latter suddenly felt chills down on his bones for the first time.

ZEUS: "Housemates, rest early tonight. You will need to wake up early tomorrow morning."

"Noted, Zeus." The housemates answered in a chorus.

James sighed and inwardly thanked Zeus for interrupting, otherwise, Shawn could have killed him with his glare.

'Isn't he overreacting a little?' James pondered silently while he recalled Shawn's glare that was obviously shutting him up.

Meanwhile, Ryu and Dean exchanged meaningful gazes…

Ryu could sense that something was off with Shawn's expression. He just couldn't figure out what.

He sighed, if they won this challenge, he would take the opportunity to talk to him in private but he must be careful and make sure that the set-up would look like it was not intentional.

Old Man Skull would surely keep a strict eye on them after that scene was aired.

He just hoped that they could immediately clean out Shawn's name and connection to the underworld.

Dean would need to sacrifice, by extending his stay inside the 'House of Zeus'...

He looked at Dean and gave him a meaningful look, and the latter scratched his head.

Ryu shrugged his shoulders and his eyes said, 'Sorry, but Shawn is quiet and did not react or even comment…'

That only meant that it's not safe to do so… that Shawn's life was on the line now... That was what his grandfather told them.

If Shawn was responsive after the narration of that story, it meant that Shawn already had enough power on his own to hold Old Man Skull by his neck… But he reacted otherwise...

So, if worst comes to worst, one of them should stay in the show and must make the hideous crime of the Old Man Skull public. That way, Old Man Skull couldn't easily touch any one of the Kens, including Shawn. It was agreed beforehand that Dean would be the one who would stay on the show.

He almost burst out in laughter seeing Dean's expression...

"Haha, don't worry… It's just a month. Pray we succeed quicker than a month, Cousin." He gestured with a grin, which made Dean irritably sigh and brush his face with his palm.

'If we won this challenge… I'm gonna make arrangements and crush my beautiful pillow hard the whole day!' Dean mused with a sigh… Being the junior in the family was really a disadvantage...

...…...

The next morning…

"Sir, the Chairmans of Cooper Entertainment and Mountain Peak are here and said it was urgent to meet you." Old Master Ken's Secretary said.

He creased his forehead because of the sudden visit early in the morning without an appointment.

"Alright… Let them in," he answered.

Old Master Ken listened intently at the men and showed him a video clip of the show.

They were asking for his opinion and permission if they should air the scene of yesterday's challenge inside the house tonight.

Old Master Ken sighed, while the men before him waited for his answer.

"You can air it, Cecile's story and ordeal. My grandsons did not mind telling the story even though they knew that it's recorded. That only means that they want you to air it, so don't worry and just continue with your business and do what's necessary. But leave the part when Dean told that the baby is alive. I would appreciate that this matter is not leaked and you let our family handle the matter." Said Old Master Ken.

The men nodded in understanding, but they also wanted to have a meeting with Cecile and Karl, to discuss their proposals on the said story since they would love to make their story come true into a movie, whether it won the voters poll or not.

Old Master Ken had mixed emotions at that moment so he told them that he would let his secretary call them back because he needed to discuss the matter with his family first.

As soon as the men left, Old Master Ken let out a long, deep sigh.

'Dean and Ryu finally did it…' he mused.

He must inform Karl and Cecile to get ready because that revelation would be aired tonight.

He was sure the media would flock their family once that scene was aired.

"Good job…" he murmured his praise to his two grandsons.

It would all depend on Shawn's own discretion this time, on who would he choose to believe more.

Now, they just needed to focus on finding that doctor, to unravel the truth behind the lie about the baby's death... though he was sure that only one person was behind it.
