Chapter 586 - Sudden News (1/2)
”Rei?”
”Yes?”
”Do you mean, Rei from Fiore Group who's also the legend of the street?”
”I don't think there's any other Rei aside from Rei from Fiore Group. As for the legend of the street, that's a bit of exaggeration,” Kanae replied. In her opinion, the nickname legend of the street that she got was a bit of overestimation. Though, her teammates didn't think that way and rather liked it.
Neo gaped his mouth before he screamed out loudly. ”NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!”
Closing her ear, Kanae smiled bitterly. Was it that hard to accept? It was not like she purposely hid it this long, ok? Alright, she did hide it, but there were many others who have already realized it from a long time ago.
”You… you… how… can…”
Neo banged his head to his table as he thought about the numerous occasions when Rei helped them out. He always found it strange that Rei often meddled in their business and helped Kevin even when Rei was not called. At the same time, he was always astonished by the fighting prowess that Rei showed.
Accepting Rei as a woman was already very difficult back then.
NOW KANAE IS REI?
Neo felt like digging a hole and buried himself there. Even believing that the entire city collapsed sounded easier than believing that Kanae is Rei.
He had interacted with Kanae for a long period of time. And from that time, he always saw her as a normal girl with slightly higher IQ and probably a bit better in physique compared to other people. But now, he realized that she was not just a bit better, she is one of the best fighters!
The contrast…
It's just too much….
Kanae watched amusedly as she turned her head to look at Kevin. ”Do you think it's that hard to accept.”
Kevin arched his eyebrows. For him, it was more of relieving news, but for Neo, it just meant that his research overtime that he did was for naught. All three members were those who were very close to them in real life.
”Probably.”
”Boss!” Mike walked inside with his phone on his hand. He was surprised to see Neo muttered like crazy. ”Neo, what's wrong with you?”
”Rei…”
”Yes?” Mike tilted his head. ”There's no Rei here.”
Neo shot a glare at Mike and pointed to Kanae. ”KANAE IS REI, IDIOT!”
This time, Mike couldn't be bothered by the poor nickname he got from Neo. His eyes widened as he looked towards Kanae full of disbelief. Just like Neo, his mouth opened and closed just like a fish.
”T-that's….”
Mike looked at Kevin, hoping that the news was false. By this time, Kevin had walked from behind the stack of paper and looked at the other three. He noticed Mike's gaze and nodded in affirmative.
”NO WAY! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!” Mike yelled loudly as he looked at Kanae in horror. He always thought that Rei must be someone unfamiliar to them and also very powerful. How come… how come that person turned out to be Kanae?
He can't believe it.
Kanae smiled bitterly as she watched the two of them looked like they were in utter shock. Well, she didn't mean to hide it so long, but seeing their faces now, she felt oddly satisfied.
It seemed that her act was so good that they couldn't believe it.
”Hey, what are you screaming so loudly for?” Patrick rolled his eyes. He was holding his right ear with an annoyed expression. ”Don't you know any manners?”
”B-b-but, Rei is…” Neo couldn't finish his words. He still found it hard to believe that the one standing in front of him is Rei. Countless legends about Rei repeated itself in his head as he gulped down his saliva.
He had to believe this… no matter what.
Patrick yawned. ”Don't you already know that Kanae is Rei? Anyway, rather than shocked like that, you better follow me to the training room. Let me temper your heart.”
