Chapter 704 - Complicated Matters (1/2)

”It seems that Brother Jason is taking care of the matter very well,” Kanae's eyes were following her sister.

Kevin tightened his grip on Kanae's hand. Today, the two of them dressed appropriately for the banquet. Kanae was wearing a long sleeve dress that could hide her weapon while Kevin wore a suit. Neo was complaining that the two of them were too formal, but they didn't bother.

It was not like they were models who had to make sure that their appearance was top notch too. This kind of outfit was already more than enough.

He could see that Laura was still standing firmly in the middle of the crowd. Some people were looking at her with envy while the others admired her. There were many other kinds of gaze, but he didn't pay much attention.

”It's not easy.”

”The life for people in the upper society is always filled with daggers at every corner. Everyone is waiting for you to make a mistake and once someone makes a mistake, they'll work together to drag that person to the very bottom,” Kanae shrugged. This was how the upper society worked.

Outside, this place was coated with gold and beautiful jewels all around the place. But she knew the truth. This place was nothing more than a cover for the most dangerous place aside from Black Street. While the underworld clearly showed their dirty area, this place covered them with gold and sweet words.

”I'm surprised that you still can tolerate them,” Kevin remarked.

Kanae shrugged. ”I'm not really part of them because of my special status. But if you want to know more, I can tell you my experience.”

”I already know part of them, there's no need for you to tell me more.”

”Ok.”

Looking at the nonchalant attitude Kanae has, no one would imagine that she was someone who got scorned in the upper-class society numerous times. No one would imagine how badly those people actually treated her in the past with how calm she reached. It was clear that she didn't have any remarkable features compared with her sister and many others. As for background, it was pretty complicated.

Right now, Kanae was wearing a long sleeves red satin dress that was tailored specially for her. The contrasting color with her skin caused her to look much beautiful. She wore light makeup to highlight her features, but it didn't do as well as her sister.

Even though she could be considered as pretty because her daily appearance was rather plain, she was not that rare of a beauty. There were many people who could beat her in terms of beauty, one of them was obviously her little sister. Still, Kanae didn't mind them all because she was satisfied with how she looked. It was already good enough for her that she didn't need to hide her features anymore.

”I want to eat some food,” Kanae pointed to the side with a grin on her face. ”Do you want to come along?”

Kevin smiled tenderly. It seemed that no matter what, the thing that Kanae thought about the most was always about food. He nodded his head slightly. ”Let's go eat.”

”Great, there are so many delicious foods in this banquet. I want to eat my fill.”

”Make sure that you can still move around after eating. I don't want to carry you back to the room if it's unnecessary.”

”Uh,” Kanae scratched the back of her head. ”I'll do my best.”

Seeing Kanae's uncertain look, Kevin kept in mind to watch over what she ate. He didn't want to make her force herself to move even though she was feeling full.

When they arrived near the place, his lips twitched when he saw the amount that Kanae placed on her plate. If one didn't know better, they would think that she was starving.

”Don't eat too much. I'll order more food later,” Kevin shook his head.

”I'm hungry.”

Two words were all Kanae said before she focused her attention to the food before her completely. Not minding the gazes of others, she just ate quickly while watching the two representatives from the corner of her eyes.

Beside her, Kevin was standing to block her eating posture from the other. It was not too effective, but his cold stare made them look away. No one could stay calm under his intense gaze filled with murderous aura.
