Chapter 572 - I Never Realize How Painful it Must Be for You (1/2)

The cleaning up of the clan took longer than what they expected. On the first day, Kanae couldn't help because of the wound on her leg. All she could do was help Kevin to sort the doc.u.ments and made a call here and there to ensure that they knew about his return. At the same time, he made sure that the elders that he gave tasks out had returned.

”Kevin! I'm so glad to hear that you're alright!” Taro practically ran towards Kevin the moment he returned. He attempted to hug the young man, but Kevin sent him a book straight to the middle of his face.

”You seem energetic, Taro,” Kevin remarked calmly.

Taro grinned. He put the book that hit his face away as he sat down in front of Kevin. ”I went into panic when Lou appeared and told us that we have to go. In particular, James seemed to worry about your wellbeing so much.”

Before he departed for the battle, Kevin gave his instruction to Lou for taking Taro and James away from the headquarters. Although this would make the place became rather unguarded, there was no one else that Kevin could trust for such an important matter

Thankfully, Lou acted in time. He brought them away before Megara returned, allowing them to stay safe as the problem occurred in the clan.

”I won't die so easily,” Kevin replied nonchalantly.

Taro nodded his head. ”I know that, but I can't help being worried. Right now, my safety is completely in your hand.”

”Has your brother, Charlie, manages to stabilize the family's condition?”

”Not yet,” Taro's expression turned rather sour at the mention of this problem. ”My brother is not too proficient in handling business. He's more of a person who specializes in history and as you know, he becomes your history teacher for a few weeks.”

Kevin nodded his head. He was not too surprised for this development. Although he didn't mind having Taro around him, he would still hope for the other party to return back to his home as fast as possible. Soon, he might have to exert every member of his clan to the battle against the government.

That would be if their relationship became extremely strained.

As they talked, Lou and James walked into the study room. James's eyes lit up when he saw Kevin.

”Big brother!”

Kevin nodded and allowed James to cuddle close to him. ”Are you behaving well on your time there, James?”

James nodded his head frantically, trying his best to tell Kevin that he didn't make any trouble.

”Good, now you should rest in your room. I have other matters to do.”

”Kevin, do you want some snack?” Kanae walked inside calmly, holding a tray on her hand. On top of it were several cupcakes and bread.

”Snack!” James exclaimed. He ran to Kanae with his hand raised.

”Okay, one for you, James.”

”Yay!”

Kanae shifted her gaze towards Lou and Taro. She smiled gently. ”It's nice to see you two again.”

Lou narrowed his eyes. He had heard about Rei being in the clan, but he hadn't heard about Kanae at all. His eyes caught the bandage on Kanae's left leg. He had received a report that Rei was wounded on her left leg and stayed in the clan, but it was clearly Kanae whom he saw here.

He instantly realized: Kanae and Rei are the same person.

He sighed to himself. All along, he was worried that Kevin would be too close with an ordinary citizen, but it turned out that his worry was for nothing. Someone as famous as Rei with the capability far surpassing a normal human was surely very suitable for his Boss.

Right now, he had to admit that he acknowledged Kanae's appearance.

On the other hand, Taro was shocked speechless. He didn't know that Kanae would be here.

”You're Kevin's secretary, right? What are you doing here?”

”I'm doing my work as his secretary,” Kanae chuckled. She walked pass the two men towards Kevin's table and put the tray near him. ”Kevin, do you want some?”

”Feed me,” Kevin answered.

Kanae's face darkened. ”Your hand is not wounded to the point that you can't eat by yourself, are you?”

”I want you to feed me,” he replied stubbornly. All along, his eyes were locked on the paper before him as he had to finish the work as soon as possible.

”I don't want to,” Kanae mumbled. ”How about I ask Lou to feed you?”
