Chapter 531 - Holding Talent’s Growth (?) (1/2)

”It's nice to see you again, Kevin,” Jason replied calmly. Although the people here respected Kevin, he still has his status, so he didn't mind calling the man's name directly. There would be no one who could berate him.

Kevin nodded and turned his head at Taro. ”Why are you taking him here?”

Taro glanced up and smiled weakly. ”He's the only one who can help me and I believe that you should know that too, right?”

The explanation from Taro was rather vague, but Kevin understood perfectly what Taro meant. He waved his hand. ”Call James here.”

”Yes, Boss.”

As one of his men ran out, Kevin sat down on his chair. His gaze locked to the two men in front of him. ”You should never tell anyone about this, Jason.”

”I know.”

After waiting a few seconds, James walked out of the room. The complexion of the young boy has turned rather pale compared to the time when he was still with his father. It was not because Kevin neglected the boy's meal, but rather, it was because of other things.

Jason noticed that James seemed to be looking around without paying attention. Aside from the lack of focus, the aura that James emitted seemed to threaten him. In that moment, he understood completely what had happened to this young boy.

”I see,” Jason crouched down in front of James. ”Hey, James, how are you?”

James was surprised. He raised his head and stared back at Jason for a few moments. ”I'm fine.”

”Are you eating properly?”

”Yes.”

Neo noticed that James seemed to be a little uncomfortable around Jason, but he didn't reject the man completely. Up until now, there were a lot of people that James didn't even bother talk to because the young boy didn't trust them.

”Do you plan on helping him, Oro?”

”Yes…” Jason was about to answer reflexively when he realized that Neo was calling him using his codename. He turned his head towards Neo in surprise.

Neo crossed his arm with a hint of a smile on his lips. ”There's no need to hide it.”

Jason looked at Neo with confusion. ”I believe that I didn't let out any hint to tell you that I'm Oro.”

”Your way of fighting is the same,” Kevin replied on Neo's behalf. He had seen Jason fought as Oro not long ago. It was the time when he realized that this young man had dual identity. However, he never told anyone about this as he didn't think it was important in the face of many other problems.

”Wait a minute, Jason is Oro?” Mike cut off their conversation.

Jason nodded his head. ”Yes.”

Mike's mouth opened wide. He had never expected that this young man would be the same person as the right hand of the famous group. Considering how their difference in status was like sky and earth, he would never think that they were the same person. After all, there was no need for Jason to put his life on the line just for a meager sum of money.

”You're really ORO?”

”Don't yell,” Jason frowned. ”I don't care whether you believe it or not, but you're not allowed to tell anyone about this.”

”Ah.”

Mike used his hand to block his mouth as if he wanted to stop himself from saying anything unnecessary. His eyes were still looking at Jason with pure disbelief because he just couldn't believe it. Someone so close to them turned out to be the one they have been searching for a long time.

Jason reached his bag. ”Let's turn back to the current topic.”

”Do you know how to help him?” Neo asked.

”I know and I believe that Kevin also knows.”

Neo turned around to look at Kevin, but the young man's expression was still as cold as before. There was no sign that this man agreed or disagreed to the statement that Jason uttered.

From the bag, Jason took out a small bracelet. From outside, it didn't look any different from the ordinary bracelet that they would find on the stores. It has black color with a tinge of grey on the edge, which looks rather simple.

Kevin's eyes narrowed when he saw the bracelet. ”Where did you get it?”

”Don't you have one, yourself?” Jason asked nonchalantly.
