Chapter 456 - Clash of Groups “I Will Never Forget Fiore Group” (1/2)

Kanae woke up after hours of sleeping. Her eyes were looking straight at the ceiling far above her. Recalling the fight from before, she abruptly sat down and saw Jason leaning on the stack of mattresses not far from her.

He smiled when he noticed that she had woken up. ”You finally wake up, little princess.”

”How long has it been since the time I sleep?”

”I don't know. There's no way to know the time in this place,” Jason shrugged. ”You should treat the rest of your arm. We can only clean it with alcohol and stopped the bleeding.”

Kanae looked towards her arm, where a cut was shown in red color. It was no longer bleeding, but it still looked rather scary. Kanae took the nearby medication and treated her own arm calmly. Her movement showed that she was already familiar with it.

”Kanae, are you alright with the battle from before?”

The sound of her real name caused Kanae's movement to stop momentarily. She looked back towards Jason. ”I'm fine, Oro. It's already a given that someone from the Black Street can't keep their hands clean.”

”I do want to make your hands clean,” Jason sighed.

Kanae smiled. ”I don't think it's possible. Sooner or later, we're going to take higher tier mission, which will make it harder for us to return safely. At that time, I too, won't be able to escape this fate.”

Jason looked towards the calm on Kanae's eyes. He knew that she had come in terms with her fate right now. In the past, he already offered to her that he would pay her money if she worked for him, but she refused. She wanted to earn them by herself and not given by others.

”Besides, this is not the first time I kill someone,” Kanae smiled bitterly, her eyes were tinged with scorn.

Jason was stunned when he heard Kanae's words. ”What did you…?”

”I have killed someone when I was younger,” Kanae rephrased her words. ”Do you really think I can get this far without having killed anyone before?”

Jason looked at the young lady before her. Somehow, the sight of her acceptance made him felt weird. It was as if she was already starting to grow even without the need of his help. ”I see. I never see you kill someone until today since I first met you, but I guess, I didn't know you too well.”

”Well, it's not like it's reported,” Kanae replied and leaned back her head. Her eyes reflected a hint of sadness and frustration.

Jason didn't know what Kanae had experienced before they met with one another. But he knew. She had already awakened her talent even far before they met with each other. Whatever she had experienced before must be the one that allowed her to awaken her talent.

”You have numerous other easier options. Why should you pick the hardest?”

Kanae blinked. ”You have a lot of reasons to not participate in this fight, why did you come and bet with your own life?”

”Your mouth is truly annoying, little lady.”

”Thank you for your compliment.”

Jason leaned back and stared at the ceiling. ”You're right, everyone has their own reason and things they're willing to bet with their life. It's not my place to pry on your business, I'm sorry.”

”Don't apologize, you did nothing wrong,” Kanae smiled. ”When I start, I don't really have any other choice.”

The failure to take back her inheritance left her with nothing but the mansion. There was barely enough money for their foods, so she had to search for a way to earn money. The only thing that crossed her mind back then was the Black Street because it was hard for an underage to get a job. It was not the best option, but she decided to try.

As the daughter of rich family, she already has some foundations in fight. Her days on the street started as a lonely journey. As time passed by, she earned friends whom she could fully trust.

”I always feel afraid that I'll lose my life because I can't afford to. My sister is waiting for me in home, looking forward for our meeting and has breakfast together. I have to stay alive. It's that feeling that always drives me fight with my all and makes my way home.

However, I always try to keep my hand clean by not killing anyone. Now, I fully realize how naïve I was. Once I step into the Underworld, I'm no longer the innocent person anymore. I have to deal with them all by myself,” Kanae smiled as she looked towards her hand.
