Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 648 I Will Never Let Them Off!

Ryukalin Clan

Bang!

Patrick threw a fist right at Kevin's face. He looked at the latter coldly. "Have you regained your sense back? If not for me finding you so quickly, you'll surely charge towards Lima School without thinking."

"I need to go there!" Kevin raised his voice. For the first time in his life, he didn't care about the training he received about maintaining his calm. He was too anxious about what would happen to Kanae to care about them all. His mind was completely filled about her as he knew that he might not be able to save her anymore.

"Jason is making his speech in the governor's hall. They're gathering soldiers to surround the place," Patrick replied. "Once it's morning, we'll attack the place."

Kevin's face changed slightly. Could he wait until morning? He looked at Patrick in front of him as he spat out slowly. "It'll be too late."

"Even if it's late, there are chances for you to survive and save her in the morning rather than now. Do you think your ragged condition will allow you to save her instantly?"

Patrick saw that Kevin had started to calm down and returned back to his cold and indifferent face. He sighed internally. Even though Kevin had always showed strong front, he just hid everything inside his heart. It was hard for him to guess what this man was thinking from the subtle expression in his face.

However, just now, he had completely let his expression off.

It took a few seconds for Kevin to regain back his usual expression. Even though the chilly air still lingered around him, it was calm on the surface. Patrick knew that Kevin was angry and just temporarily suppressing his feelings to not do what his heart wanted.

"I'll gather the men to attack," Kevin said as he calmed down. "Those soldiers are not enough to hold them off."

"Fine. Go and calm yourself down!"

Kevin turned around as he tried to compose himself. He knew far better than anyone what kind of place the Lima School was. Anyone who got inside because he has a special condition or body would never be able to get out alive anymore. Death was the only way out.

The thought that Kanae might die haunted him too much. After all, he knew that the chance for her to survive was very minimal.

Gathering his thoughts again, he slammed the door to his workroom and started to make a call to gather the men from Black Street. There were numerous monsters that he had to face there. If he just charged inside and they released the monsters, the entire city would be in chaos.

He couldn't be selfish.

"Has Boss calmed down?" Neo asked from the side.

Patrick nodded his head. "He's truly a brat. He's not patient enough when it's regarding someone he loves."

"A brat?"

Neo felt that it was funny to hear someone called Kevin as a brat. Knowing how that young man could perfectly hide his feelings all these times and always thought of the matter of the clan first, the word 'brat' was totally unsuitable. It was the complete opposite from what people would describe Kevin.

Mature would be far better.

Patrick smirked. "Of course, the two of you are also brats. You should know better that you're still a kid."

"…" Neo wished to throw a punch to this elder's face. If not because he knew very well that his end wouldn't be good if he attacked Patrick, he would surely challenge this man into a fight.

"People in love will become more reckless for the one they loved," Mike smiled wryly. He knew that he would surely do the same thing if the one they took was his girlfriend.

"I don't want him to experience the same pain with me," Patrick said calmly. "It's already enough that I'm regretting my action of acting rashly when I heard about what happened to my girlfriend. I can't let him repeat the same action with me."

The other two nodded their heads. They faintly recalled the past, where Kanae would charge head on to the barrage of bullets just to protect Kevin. At that time, they didn't even know that it was her, but now it made sense.

She wanted him to be safe. He wanted her to be safe.

They just wanted to protect each other with all they got.

"Will you participate in the battle, Elder Patrick?" Neo asked.

Patrick snorted. "Do you think I'm that heartless? They take my daughter, so I'll surely pay them tenfold for that! If even a strand of hair from her is lost, I'll destroy the place until it's flat with the ground."

The other two were trembling because of the killing intent that Patrick leaked from his speech. They knew that Patrick was terribly angry and mad, but he had learned from the experience in the past that not every reckless action would turn out well. There will be other consequences that might happen because of their action.

Mike nodded his head. "I'll surely follow Boss wherever he goes! Even if I have to go through fire and ice, I'll never let him go."

"That's true," Neo replied. "I haven't had my revenge on the government. Tomorrow, I'm going to make them pay for everything that they have done."

Inside the room, Kevin could hear their conversation clearly. His eyes flickered for a bit as he picked up his phone to make another call. Even though he wanted to charge directly to Lima School, he knew that he would regret his decision.

Did he want to release those monsters into the city just to save one person?

No matter how much he cared for Kanae, he could never sacrifice the lives of numerous people just for an attempt to save her. From the moment he caused the death of a lot of people just because of his position, he knew that he didn't want to repeat it again.

He couldn't do it by himself. In order to defeat Ferdinand thoroughly, he needed help from others. Making another call, he made sure that those powerful people from Black Street appeared tomorrow. The number of people who could charge inside safely was extremely limited. Besides, one of the most important things was making sure that they didn't attack the citizens.

"Hello, Kevin, why are you calling me?" the voice of a young girl sounded in the phone.

"Alice, how's the condition of Tommy and your father?"

"They're still wounded very hard," Alice replied with a sad tone. "Is there anything important that you want them to do?"

"It's nothing…"

"Wait! Is it about Lima School? Are you going to launch a raid to that place?"

Kevin didn't want to involve Alice in this matter because this girl was extremely soft. It wouldn't do her any good to come in contact with those monsters and saw the ugly truth of the awakened.

"That's not for you to participate."

"What are you talking about? I can't possibly let my best friend die, can I? Let me participate, I'll go there."

"Alice…"

"Kevin, I insist," Alice replied strongly. "Kanae has helped me numerous times in the past. If there's something I can help, I'm more than willing to help out."

Kevin knew that these two had an awkward relationship because of him. As he couldn't get close with Kanae because of his position, it was Alice who had to step forward. Even though so, the two of them remained close friends even after they knew the truth.

Alice truly wanted to help out because she cared about Kanae's wellbeing very much. She was very much enraged when she listened to the news report regarding Kanae's abduction.

"Kevin, please?"

"You should take care of yourself. I'm sure that Kanae will never want to see you hurt."

"I know," Alice smiled. "I'm partially a doctor and poison expert, so I'm sure that I can help out a bit."

"Fine, you can come to Lima School tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I get it."

As Kevin closed the phone, he thought about Kanae again. There were a lot of people who cared about her wellbeing. He was not the only one, but he was the one who wanted more than just her safety. He wanted her entirely.

"I'll never let them off," He muttered to himself. His eyes gleamed dangerously. 'Kanae, stay safe, I'll come for you.'
