Kevin finished making calls to several more people when he heard the ruckus in the courtyard. He walked out and saw Lou standing there, partially out of breath.
"Where’s Boss?" Lou asked imdiately.
"He’s inside," Patrick pointed to the room. "He’s making a call to the people from underworld to ask for their help in the grand battle tomorrow."
"Oh," Lou heaved a sigh. He was worried that Kevin would do sothing as stupid as charging directly to Lima School. If it was only a small clan, there was no problem at all. However, Lima School was filled with experts all over. Charging inside was the sa as asking for himself to be killed.
In the past, sothing similar happened to Patrick. Soone took his girlfriend and captured her. He was not entirely clear about what had happened, but he knew that Patrick charged to the place imdiately when he heard that they took his girlfriend.
It was a complete ss and no one survived except Patrick, who sustained deep wounds all over his body.
Even though that man was extrely powerful, he didn’t manage to escape unscathed from that place. He turned the entire place into bloodbath as the revenge for killing the one he loved. No one could stop him.
They also didn’t know what Patrick actually did to those n. When they ca there, the entire place had turned into a sea of blood and bodies. Countless corpses filled the area with the floor turned red completely. In the middle of them all, Patrick stood there completely soaked in blood.
"He’s about to charge inside directly," Patrick chuckled, yet his eyes were solemn. It was completely different from his playful and excited light that always appeared within his eyes. "But I’m not going to let him make the sa mistake as I did."
"Thank you very much, Elder Pat."
"I did nothing good. Also, you better rest for the battle tomorrow, Lou. Fighting with an exhausted body would only make you be defeated easily," Patrick remarked harshly.
Lou nodded his head. "There’s no need to worry, Elder Pat. I’ll go to replenish my strength."
"Good to hear."
"I’ll also do my best for the battle tomorrow, Elder Pat. I’ll make sure that no one escape from that place," for a mont, a murderous aura emanated from Lou. He was not just a person who only knew how to work near the table and did paperwork, but also worked in the clan. It was only because he had more experience did he also have work in the company.
Of course, during that ti, he acted normal as if he didn’t have any capability in the battle.
This made people unaware that this seemingly ordinary man was actually one of the best fighters in the Ryukalin Clan, excluding so extraordinary ones such as Patrick.
Patrick arched his eyebrows. "I thought that you don’t like that girl."
It would be a lie if Lou said that there was no ti when he didn’t like the girl. In the past, he didn’t like her when she stayed close with Kevin because he didn’t wish to repeat the sa tragedy as Patrick’s girlfriend.
However, things changed. After he learned about her other identity and the fact that the two of them did have mutual feelings, he no longer harbored any other thoughts regarding the girl.
"In the past, I’ll surely oppose them. But I have acknowledged her, so I’ll surely make sure that she can return to Boss’s side."
Patrick nodded his head. "Good, now let’s eat."
Watching near the door, Kevin knew that there were a lot of people caring for his wellbeing. He knew that they cared for him not because of his position alone. Now, they genuinely cared for him because it was him.
Suddenly, there was a loud voice coming from the other side of the courtyard. It sounded as if soone was screaming on top of their lungs as the high pitched voice filled the area.
They were startled, but their mind imdiately thought about the only person who stayed there: Jas Doha!
Rushing towards the other room, they saw Jas was sitting on his bed. Sothing fell to the ground and the boy was crying hard. His eyes were red, and he seed to have a nightmare. Tears stained his face as the boy wailed.
"Jas, are you alright?" Patrick hurriedly stepped forward in worry.
Jas swatted the man’s hand. "Sister Kanae, where is Sister Kanae?"
He scanned the room in hope of finding that girl. Seeing that she was not there, the boy started crying out loudly. He knew that sothing must have happened to Kanae when she tried to keep him safe.
"She’ll be back soon," Mike said in a stiff tone. He didn’t know how to console a little boy. His voice was as stern as normal.
"I WANT HER HERE NOW!"
Seeing the boy continued to cry, the others didn’t know what they should do. They were not used to soothe a little boy. Moreover, they knew better than anyone that Kanae was still away in that place.
No one knew whether she would still be alive or not.
Their hope would be that she is alive and well.
’Where’s Taro?’ Mike whispered to Neo.
Neo shook his head. ’He’s not here now.’
Seeing Neo’s expression, Mike decided to not ask more about that young man. He forgot what kind of task they handed to Taro, but that young man has still not returned here yet.
"WHERE’S SISTER KANAE?" Jas asked again, his face was stained in tears as he swung his hand around. He didn’t have the strength to move far from the room because of his body’s condition, but he wanted to see Kanae again.
The image of when she left him still fresh in his mind.
He felt afraid.
Afraid that he would never be able to see her anymore.
"Calm down a bit, Jas," Patrick tried to hold the boy, but he didn’t dare to exert more force. As he knew that his strength alone far surpassed normal humans, he better not try to hold the boy tighter for he didn’t want to hurt him.
"I WANT SISTER KANAE!" Jas yelled.
Patrick looked at the back with a helpless expression as his hand still held the boy in his place. He could only stop Jas from moving around and possibly caused his condition to turn worse but not more than that. After all, he had to make sure that Jas stayed safe.
"She’s fine."
"I WANT TO SEE HER!"
The cries of the boy filled the room as they felt helpless. Even though all of them also wanted to find Kanae and made sure that she was safe, they didn’t dare to do anything. They were already adults, so they knew that throwing a tantrum wouldn’t change anything.
Jas seed to understand that they couldn’t do anything as he tried to struggle free from Patrick’s hand.
"Boss, do sothing!" Seeing that, Neo panicked. He turned to the young man before him, who hadn’t done anything.
Kevin watched as Jas cried from the side. His heart felt slight pain seeing the boy cry like that because of Kanae. Upon hearing Neo’s words, he stepped forward and raised his hand.
SLAP!
He slapped the boy’s face.
