265 Progress (1/2)

”As the clan head, I believe you should be pretty busy, Kevin Kalin,” Ferdinand said in a low tone. ”What are you doing here?”

”I believe I have the right not to answer your question,” Kevin retorted back with a flat tone. His eyes were looking towards the man in front of him as he carefully tried to read the other party's expression.

Ferdinand crossed his arm. ”Could it be you come for that little girl named Kanae Nali?”

Hearing that, Kevin nearly frowned. He managed to hold on, but he was not sure if Ferdinand caught the slight change in his expression. If the other party knew that he bore special feeling for Kanae, the girl would get into more troubles in the future.

Ferdinand sneered internally. In the end, the one before him was merely a little boy unworthy of his attention. He was too young to understand the vastness and the complicated matter of the world. This boy wouldn't make it safely as the clan leader of the biggest clan in the city.

”So that's true. I wonder why you're so concerned about the girl. Is she perhaps,” Ferdinand stopped in his words for a moment. ”Your girlfriend?”

When he heard the word 'girlfriend', Kevin suddenly thought about his own feeling. He never tried to inspect things further and only knew that he liked the girl. However, he never has any intention of telling her about this feeling of his as he knew that he would only make things complicated.

A longing feeling appeared from the bottom of his heart. He realized that he wanted to keep her by his side, safe from all the dirt of the outside world. At the same time, he knew that dragging her into his side would result in her getting into more troubles.

Besides, the most important would be her happiness.

He wanted to pursue this relationship very badly as he wished to have her inside his arm. This was the first time he felt this way, so he was still unsure. But when he heard the word 'girlfriend', he knew that he wanted to have Kanae as his girlfriend very badly.

Still, Kevin's expression showed no change. ”There's a possibility that she knows more about the letter from the government, right?”

On his side, Neo and Mike nearly falter when they heard Kevin said those words. They have been trying so hard to find out about the letter from the government in the Nali Family covertly because this man didn't want to ask Kanae. Now he said that he searched her because of that letter?

He might fool others but not them.

Ferdinand's eyes sharpened. This topic was always challenging his self-control. ”I never know that the Ryukalin Clan is interested in this letter as well.”

”Not really, I'm just curious because it makes a big ruckus twice in the span of a year,” Kevin answered back calmly.

The two men stared at each other as they tried to probe deeper. However, neither side showed any other reaction whatsoever. They were adamant to not let things that they knew showed in their face.

In the end, Ferdinand sighed. ”I already finish interrogating her. You can try to ask her too if you want. I doubt that you're going to get anything.”

”Thank you for your consideration,” Kevin answered calmly.

”I'll take my leave now, see you later little clan head.”

Ferdinand walked towards Kevin and passed by his side with a deadpan face. His subordinates were following him and they were already drenched completely in sweats. For some reasons, they couldn't stay on their grounds when they saw Ferdinand clashed with Kevin.

The moment Ferdinand passed by his side, Kevin stretched out his hand towards Neo. ”Laptop.”

”Here, Boss,” Neo quickly took out his laptop that he always brought to Kevin.

When Ferdinand already got into the lift, Kevin started typing furiously as he moved to the side and evaded the sight of the cameras. It didn't take more than several seconds before he managed to infiltrate the hidden camera that Ferdinand placed on Kanae's room.

From the laptop, the faint sounds from the two people appeared. Kevin was watching intently as Ferdinand started to ask questions to Kanae.

”How well do you know Sakura?”

”Well, I'm not sure myself. I have already known her from my childhood because we meet in school occasionally. Aside from that, I think we rarely meet each other.”
