The grand elder humped and turned to look at Kanae. "Even though so, I believe that you shouldnât have meddled like that, Kanae."
"Ah, you found out?" Kanaeâs eyes widened, and she smiled wryly. "Did I not do a good job?"
"You did, but your aura and Laura are completely different," the grand elder tapped the table before him. "Someone who has been living in the Black Street is obviously different from someone who used to live in peace."
Kanae smiled calmly. This particular elder knew about her activity at night since he always watched over her. Even though he didnât offer her any hand to help, he still didnât let her to completely die. After all, he wished to see the youngsters could make their own way up and not just because of their lineage.
"I donât want them to make fun of my sister, so I just decide to do this."
"With Lauraâs personality, I doubt theyâre going to be successful."
"Sheâs already tired, and I donât want to add more worry to her," Kanae shrugged. "Iâll give her the summary of this meeting later, so thereâs no need to worry about her not knowing anything."
"I see," the grand elder nodded calmly. He looked back to Kanaeâs eyes. "With your action, you have more or less subdue the elders to follow after your sisterâs words. However, it didnât mean that they would accept someone like you to enter the family back."
"It doesnât matter. I never have any intention to return."
"Even if your sister asks?"
"That..." Kanae closed her mouth. She did want to stay with her sister, but she didnât want to be part of Nali Family anymore. They were all too disgusting that she wished to beat them all up for good.
No matter what, she didnât wish to see her sister have to handle them all. She just took this chance to train them a bit.
The grand elder sighed. "Whatever your decision is, always remember that youâre not alone. You have your sister and friends waiting for you and wishing for your safety."
"Thank you very much, Grand Elder."
"Also, you donât have to worry about those elders anymore. Iâll make sure they wonât be able to do anything to your sister," the grand elder replied. "But this is just temporary."
Kanae beamed. "I understand. Thank you!"
"You can leave now."
As Kanae exited from the door, the grand elder sighed to himself. He laughed at the thought that the most capable junior in Nali Family was actually got driven out by the elders. However, he also understood that Kanae never has much talent in business, especially when comparing to her sister.
After getting out of the room, Kanae noticed that the elders were already busy preparing for the proposal. They still needed to write that punishment report, so they better finished this proposal as fast as possible.
She wouldnât participate in the detail, so she walked out of the building. Upon getting out, she could see Neo and Kevin were standing there, discussing about the business.
"Oh, Laura. Are you going back?" Neo asked with enthusiasm.
Kanae nodded her head. "Yes. Good luck with the proposal, Neo."
"Nah, weâre already ready with this. Donât worry, I wonât let the chance you create go to waste!" Neo balled his fist to show that he would grab this chance well. "You can rest assured that weâll surely get the deal with Nali Family done."
"Thatâs good to hear," Kanae giggled.
"Iâll be going first now then, Boss."
Kevin nodded his head and Neo rushed inside. The young man was too excited about this proposal because it would be able to help him cut of the cost a lot. Of course, the benefit would also split among the two parties, so he needed to make sure they did the same amount of work.
"Are you sure that you wonât go inside too?" Kanae pointed to the door.
Kevin shook his head. "He can do the rest on his own. I need to return back to finish my work."
"Oh, I see."
Kanae didnât know what she should talk with Kevin. She was unsure regarding her sisterâs usual attitude around him. After all, she was not present around them all the time.
Kevinâs lips curled up slightly and he bent down slightly, putting his face near hers. "You donât need to keep on pretending, Kanae."
"You know?" Kanaeâs face was filled with astonishment. She looked at the smug expression on Kevinâs face with disbelief.
"You barely change your face," Kevin pointed to her face. "Also, Laura will never act so domineering like that."
"Uh, how do you even know that?"
"From Neoâs report."
"..." fine, youâre truly a very knowledgeable man.
Kevin noticed that Mike had arrived with his car. He straightened his suit. "Iâll be going back first. Take care of yourself, Kanae. Itâs not going to end well if they know about you."
"You wonât tell anyone, right?"
"I wonât."
Kanae looked at Kevinâs back for a few minutes before heading back to her own car. Shiro was still waiting while browsing for the new gunâs type on the internet. It seemed that there was something that caught his attention again.
"Shiro, are you there?"
"Oh, Kanae! You have finished?" Shiro quickly unlocked the door, and Kanae entered the car. "How is it going?"
"Two people find out about me, but they didnât seem to have any bad intention."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah," Kanae nodded. Kevin didnât really have any relationship with Nali Family except business. As for the grand elder, she knew that he would not do that because it would be detrimental for him too. After all, they truly needed a dependable elder to make sure that the work could be going well. Nali Family needed to step up and positioned themselves up again.
Shiro turned the wheel as he drove. "Your act is very good that itâs surprising that someone still find out that youâre not Laura."
"Theyâre two great people," Kanae shrugged. "Also, do you see anyone suspicious when youâre waiting here, Shiro?"
"No one," Shiro shrugged. "I donât think youâre going to find anyone around this place that dare to do anything. The Nali Family is still feared by many people because of the influence."
"I see."
Kanae no longer asked as she looked out of the window. She had long known about the Nali Familyâs reputation and ability. As part of the family itself, she was introduced to some of them from her early years. Even though she didnât like it, she knew just how powerful they could be if they truly pour out their entire resources.
"Whatâs your plan for now, Captain?"
"Are you talking about my activity in the underworld? I donât think that I should do anything for now. Thereâs no need for Rei to appear for the time being, and I believe that you also enjoy your holiday very much, Doctor Shiro."
Shiro sighed. He did love to work in his clinic, but he also missed the time when he could gather together with the others. After all, doing his work in the underworld has become the norm for him after following after Kanae for quite some time.
"Thank you for your consideration."
"We can have a bit of fun, then. Iâm sure Brother Jason can lend us his villa again," Kanae thought a bit and smirked.
"... Thereâs no need to go that far, right?"
"Fine, letâs just roam on the street again tomorrow. Bring your gun, and weâre going to hunt a bit."
Shiro smirked. "Sure, Captain."
