While Laura returned back to the boys and greeted them with her sweet smile, which instantly made them smitten for good, Kanae headed back to the table and snatched so more food. In the eyes of outsiders, she was clearly soone who only knew how to eat.
"You’re truly a big eater, little lady."
Kanae turned her head and nodded lightly towards the man beside her. She instantly recognized him as Taro, Kevin’s friend. At this ti, she hoped that he wouldn’t recognize her for no other reason than the fact that Taro’s fashion sense was clearly the worst.
Taro was wearing a light yellow shirt with a red tie. His long trousers were blue in color, contrasting with his shirt. What struck her eyes the most was his red bowtie since it was striped with green. Why in the world would he pick that kind of tie?
At this point in ti, Kanae didn’t wish to be acquainted with Taro. She couldn’t bear the sight of his awful taste in clothes.
"I like to eat," Kanae forced herself to answer.
Taro eyed Kanae’s face for a mont before a bright smile appeared on his face. "You’re Kevin’s secretary, right? It has been so ti since the last ti I saw you, little lady. You haven’t changed too much."
’While you changed very much,’ Kanae thought internally. Previously, Taro was wearing won’s clothes, which caused him to outshine those lovely ladies. He had a rather tall yet slim body, which made it rather suitable for him to wear mature and sexy dresses. Even she was stunned by his appearance especially because she knew very well that he was a man.
When he was dressed in his real gender, though, his sense of fashion dropped more than just several degrees. She had the feeling that she wouldn’t be able to bear staying with this man any longer if she had to see him dressed like that.
"It’s nice to et you again, Sir Taro," Kanae decided to answer politely.
"Why are you treating like a stranger? I..."
"Taro, why are you bothering other people?" Jason approached the two of them with a frown on his face. He was busy observing the guests in the party when he noticed that Taro had disappeared. When he saw him near Kanae, he imdiately moved forward. Looking at Kanae’s face, he knew that she was having trouble because of Taro’s fashion sense.
Who would not? He also wished to dig a hole and shove Taro inside to make this man change his clothes.
"I’m not bothering her. She’s my friend," Taro complained.
Kanae’s lips twitched. They were barely considered acquaintances because she only recalled eting with him once. Of course, at that ti they talked with each other a lot due to the business deal, so they knew so basic information about each other. Still, that didn’t make them as close as friends.
Jason frowned. "How do you even know a mber of the Nali Family?"
"The Nali Family?" Taro’s eyes widened. "She’s Kevin’s secretary, but I didn’t know she’s part of the Nali Family. How do you know that?"
"She’s my junior in High School," Jason realized that he was overestimating Taro’s information about Kanae. It seed that Taro barely knew anything about Kanae. At this ti, his eyes shook a bit. Why did he feel worried about Taro knowing more about Kanae? There shouldn’t be anything wrong, right?
"I see. Then, can you tell her phone number? Kevin wouldn’t give it to no matter what."
"She doesn’t have a phone."
Kanae scratched her head. She did have one, but she had just bought it, so her contacts were still empty. Even so, she didn’t have any intention of giving her phone number to anyone she t. This Taro was clearly not among the list of people she wished to have her number.
The three of them were about to talk again when they heard the sound of a gunshot.
BANG!
KYAAAAAAAAAAA!
The female guests scread loudly when they heard the sound of the gunshot. So of them crouched down on the ground while the others reached out to grab their partners. The won were terribly afraid of the sudden sound of the gunshot. At the sa ti, the n grew cautious and tensed up. So of them took cover while the rest took a defensive stance.
In the middle of the room, a man was holding a gun. He didn’t even bother covering up his face as his right hand was raised upwards. His lips were curled up to show a mocking smile.
"I think it’s ti for to ask for the letter again, Frank," the man said with a forceful tone.
Frank’s face fell as he recognized him. He was part of the sa group who attacked them months ago on the cruise. He thought that the governnt had taken care of them, but it seed there were still so of them left.
The guests were screaming as they tried to reach the front door. However, several black-clothed n already appeared to block them. It seed that they didn’t want to let anyone get away.
"This ti, no one is outside the hall," one of the black-clothed n said leisurely.
Kanae rolled her eyes. Of course, everyone was inside. She was only outside the hall previously because she slipped out right when they tried to lock the door. However, she didn’t have the sa intention this ti since there was barely any point of doing that in this mansion.
Using the chaos as a way to hide herself, she made her way to one of the pillars near the inner part of the mansion. This was a normal pillar on the outside, so no one would have guessed that this was actually the key to the self-destruction chanism of the outer part of the mansion.
Of course, she didn’t plan to activate it right away.
Her eyes watched her uncle as a ruthless glint flashed through her eyes. She wanted to let her uncle tasted the ruthlessness of these people first before helping him out.
"What the hell are you doing?" Frank yelled when he saw them approach his daughter. Right now, Sakura was surrounded on all sides by the n in black clothing.
The man sneered. "Do you think that by hiding in the Ryukalin Clan’s territory you’ll be safe? We’re not part of the clans, so we don’t have to worry about the division of the territory."
"What are you talking about?"
"We waited to hear more news and unexpectedly stumbled into an interesting piece of news. The recipient of the precious letter from the governnt is a stunning young lady, Miss Sakura Nali."
When Sakura heard them reveal that, her face drained of all color. No! How could they know sothing like that? Even though she loved to brag about in the past, she no longer did it anymore for the past few years because of the governnt’s threat. There shouldn’t be anyone who took her seriously in the past about the letter in her possession.
When Kanae heard that, her eyes grew cold. If those n tried to spout out the truth right away, even her safety would be questionable. Shiro had told her that there was a governnt lackey here. When the news reached the governnt, she doubted the entire Nali Family was going to be safe.
At the sa ti, Jon was standing beside Sakura with a bewildered expression. He didn’t understand what they were talking about. What letter?
The man laughed hard when he saw how Sakura trembled. "Little lady, we even heard an even more outrageous piece of news about you and the letter. Apparently, there’s sothing extrely interesting in your case."
"Noooo!" Sakura yelled in fear. If word got out about that, they would surely kill her. No one should know about that!
’This is enough.’
At the sa ti Sakura yelled, Kanae moved her hand and pressed the button for the self-destruction sequence of this outer part of the mansion. If any more information leaked out, all of them would die as the governnt would never let anyone who knew that secret to stay alive.
