Chapter 726 - Back to City of Crime (1/2)

Matt looked at the two youngsters in front of him with a dark face. ”Didn't I tell you two to rest properly? Why are you looking so sleepy?”

”We barely slept last night,” Kanae made a peace gesture with her fingers.

Kevin shrugged. ”It's not really important. We're going to sleep in the plane too.”

The journey to return back to their city would take hours. If they were not sleeping at that time, they would only waste time.

Hearing their answer, Matt rubbed his forehead. They looked like just normal teenagers who couldn't control their schedule well, but he knew that they were anything but that. As for what these two were doing last night, he didn't want to bother asking.

”Anyway, give me a call when you have arrived. I have to make sure that you can return back safely,” Matt reminded them.

Kanae rolled her eyes. ”Do you hope that someone will hijack the plane when we're on board?”

”That's a pretty good idea.”

Kanae: ”…” You heartless uncle!

Kevin shook his head. ”Even if there's one, I'll just kill him and take over the plane. There's no need to worry so much.”

”Can you drive a plane?”

”I can learn.”

Since it seemed that stuffing sense to these two were impossible, Matt shook his head in defeat. He pointed to the plane and handed the tickets to them.

”I won't be accompanying you two this time. I still have a lot of matters to deal with in the capital. There's no need to worry, it's not about your city and everything.”

”Ok, good luck Uncle Matt,” Kanae smiled.

Kevin glanced to the side. ”You should just come out if you want to see us off, Old Richard.”

”I'm not old, you brat!”

Walking out from behind the pillar, Richard glared at Kevin. His action looked like a kid as he seemed to hate being called 'old' so much. Even though his voice was loud, no one paid any attention to him. They were already used with this old man creating a scene here and there.

”I'll be waiting to hear the news about the city's downfall, brat,” Richard grinned. ”I hear that it's full of people who only know crime. Even without me interfering, you're going to fall by yourself.”

”I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed,” Kevin retorted.

Richard shrugged. ”We shall see.”

”You better worry about yourself first. If you dare to break off the promise, I won't hesitate to crush the entire city.”

”Che, you're really an arrogant brat.”

Kanae giggled lightly. ”Let's go, Kevin. The plane is going to fly in half an hour. I want to make sure we're not going to be late.”

”Sure.”

”See you later, Uncle Matt and Grandpa Richard.”

”I'm not your grandpa!”

Richard watched as the two youngsters departed. He snorted in displeasure as he didn't like it when someone mentioned to him that he was old. Glancing at the man before him, he started speaking.

”It's really unlike your style to help out someone from other cities. Does living in that city for years make you turn soft?”

Matt passed a glance. ”Don't speak as if you know me well, Richard.”

Richard shrugged. ”You know that it's not impossible for that young man to rule the entire city if you help him out, right? Your influence is much bigger than what you have shown to him so far. Besides, for someone like you to use your influence a lot already shows that you hold deep interest in the city.”

”I don't have any interest,” Matt replied curtly. It was only for a small mission that he went to the City of Crime. From a place that he detested, it has become his second home and those people were already like a family for him. When he knew they would get into a much bigger trouble, he used his connection to help them out.

”You use so much of your power to help them out, but you say that you don't have any interest? It's hard to believe, Matt.”

Matt's gaze was fixated on the departing plane. His eyes held deep feelings as he shook his head lightly. ”Man should be ambitious, but not overly greedy. Everyone is destined for different matters. You should know your limitations and capabilities to make sure that you won't lose.”

”You're using those high-level phrases again, Matt,” Richard rolled his eyes. ”Fine, I won't ask you about them anymore, but can you keep your promise to them? Do you think that the government will always listen to your request?”
