Chapter 578 - Funeral (1/2)
Neo and Mike returned one day after Kevin along with the bodies of their fallen comrades. Although Neo was feeling rather down, he hid his expression behind a rather neutral face.
”Neo,” Kanae glanced at Neo. ”I'm sorry about your loss.”
”Thank you,” Neo replied calmly. He eyed Kanae curiously. ”What are you doing in the clan?”
”I'm helping out.”
”Boss gives you permission to help out?”
Kanae nodded her head. She noticed that Neo's expression seemed strange, but she didn't understand why. Was there anything wrong with her helping out in the clan?
Behind her, Dean was standing nonchalantly. ”Neo, Kevin is inside. Don't you need to make the complete report to him first?”
”Ah, yes.”
As Neo hurriedly made his way inside, Kanae looked towards the limpid Mike. Contrary to her who healed very quickly, Mike still had to drag his right foot if he wanted to walk. It made him look rather pitiful.
”He recovers rather slowly,” Kanae commented.
”Not everyone has the same healing ability as you, little lass,” Dean chuckled. ”Now, don't you need to go to school again?”
Kanae recalled the school, but she shook her head lightly. ”I don't want to, Brother Dean. There are still a lot of things to do here.”
”Fine if you say so, but call me Master Dean.”
”Brother is more suited for you.”
”Come here little brat!”

The situation in the Ryukalin Clan didn't turn to the worst. Although Megara managed to cause some hidden clan's headquarters into a mess, the worst was only the main headquarter with several destructions here and there. However, they managed to clean things up and repaired everything that they needed to repair.
The days passed swiftly as the wounds were treated and the victims were buried. Many of their family members wept because of their loss. Even if they knew the harsh life that followed by becoming part of the clan, no one wanted to lose their precious member.
The grandest one was the funeral for the Old Man. Many of the clan members came to offer their condolences for the deceased man.
”Let him be,” Kevin said in an indifferent voice. ”He'll feel better by himself.”
Kanae glanced at Kevin then to the standing Neo. The funeral ceremony has ended a while ago, but the young man was still standing in front of the grave. It didn't seem that he wanted to move away from his position.
”Don't you think he needs some company?”
”Neo is the type of person who prefers to think by himself,” Kevin remarked. ”Even if you come over to give him some company, he won't like it. Let's wait on the back.”
Kanae stole a glance at Neo for a moment before following behind Kevin. She didn't know what the two of them talked a few days ago when Neo returned. However, she recalled that Neo seemed to be rather restless after the talk with Kevin.
