312 Cleaning Up (1/2)

Somewhere Far Away

”The plan fails, he's dead,” the receiver suddenly sounded out. Besides the small device, a man was sitting calmly. From the message, he knew that his plan to eliminate Kevin had failed. However, he stayed calm as he had already expected that Kevin might be able to get out alive.

”How's is his condition?”

”Clan Head is wounded hard, but he's summoning all of us to the hall. What do you think he will do?”

The young man narrowed his eyes. The cold glint behind his dark iris caused the people around him to tense up. Although they have been following after this man for quite some time, they were still afraid of his change of mood. Whenever his eyes showed cold glints like that, someone was bound to die.

”Destroy the device, Neo can trace back to us if you don't,” the young man answered. ”Also, if you try to report about our movement, your entire family will follow your steps.”

”Sir?” the man on the other side sounded rather terrified. From that ruthless tone, he could already guess what Kevin was planning to do. This caused fear to seep out from the bottom of his heart. His life would last only for several more minutes.

The young man snorted and cut off the line. He leaned back on his chair. As he still stayed far away from the clan, there was no need for him to come to the gathering. This allowed him to stay calm.

”Sir, please calm down. Even if Clan Head knows you're behind all of this, he won't be able to touch you.”

The young man snorted. ”During the time he's disabled, find a way to take over those hidden clans' head. I want more than 50% to choose to not pick Kevin as the clan head.”

”Yes.”

As his gaze followed after his right hand, the cold glint became more apparent. ”In the meantime, find me some plaything. I'm bored.”

The man stopped on his track and turned around. He bowed down formally. ”I understand. I'll prepare them right away.”

…

Ryukalin Clan's Headquarters

From the moment the transmission cut off, the man knew that his movement was no longer invisible. At this moment, Kevin gathered the men precisely because he wanted to eliminate them.

Gripping the device on his hand harder, he trembled slightly. 'No, there must be another way. I don't want to die.'

”Elder, everyone has to gather in the hall,” one of the lower rank members informed carefully.

”I know, get out!”

The lower rank member immediately ran out of the room. He didn't understand what made this elder moody like this today. It seemed that the gathering today was of great importance.

The elder was battling inside his mind about his decision. If he rattled on, his family would disappear and he would die. If he didn't, he would die, but his family lived. No matter what choice he made, he would die.

Forcing his feet to move, he made his way to the hall. Seeing the expressionless young man on the seat, he felt like thousand kilos of pressure were pushing him down. The gaze that the young man gave him seemed to be an endless abyss.

”Has everyone gathered here?” Kevin asked calmly.

Neo nodded his head. ”Yes. You can start now, Boss.”

Because the doctor was still busy tending on his wound, Kevin didn't move from his seat. Even when his hand was feeling searing pain from the medicine, he didn't flinch. The only thing he did was gripping the chair handle a bit harder.
