Chapter 547 I’m Sorry
Patrick snorted. \\"You say that, but you’re actually talking as if you’re ready to have a battle right here. Go and eat your fill. I’m not coming here just to see you fight.\\"
\\"Yes.\\"
\\"if you want to fight, I’ll accompany you back in the clan.\\"
\\"No need. I don’t have any intention to spar with you, Uncle,\\" Kevin said plainly and returned back to eating.
The elders looked at one another. They tried to switch the conversation to something else as to lighten the mood.
\\"Hey, do you know that my daughter has just turned 17? Are there any talented youngsters in your family?\\"
\\"Huh? You ask me but my son is just 14 years old. He’s creating more and more trouble for me....\\"
Soon, the conversation turned normal once again. Megara refrained from making more comments because he didn’t want to turn their attention to him.
As the talk continued, Kanae’s attention was fully on the food before her. There was no one paying attention to her, so they didn’t know that she has been eating all the time. Lots of food on the table has moved into her stomach.
\\"Little lass, your rival in love is here,\\" Patrick chuckled.
Kanae arched her eyebrows. She followed the line of sight of her father when she saw Celine, the hidden clan head daughter that came here. Since Alice didn’t come because Kevin forbids that young girl, Celine still came with her father.
Right now, Celine was wearing a beautiful sleeveless long dress with slightly open back. Her face was filled with make-up, highlighting her white skin and rosy lips. Just one glance at her would be enough to send a lot of men leering at her, hoping to see what was underneath her alluring clothes.
\\"Oh,\\" Kanae muttered.
\\"Now that’s what you can call a woman,\\" Patrick nodded his head as he inspected the woman’s body. Comparing that perfectly sculpted body with his daughter will be a complete embarrassment. With Kanae usually wearing thick clothes, it couldn’t show her curves. After all, she usually posed as a guy in the Black Street.
Hearing Patrick’s tone, Kanae’s face darkened. This damned father of hers! She should have picked a time soon to give him a good bashing. Even if her strength couldn’t compare to him, she would find a way to make sure that he suffered a bit.
Celine walked straight to Kevin’s place. She stopped before him and bowed down in greeting. \\"Good evening Clan Head. I wish to have a talk with you if it’s possible.\\"
Kevin glanced at the young woman with an indifferent gaze. He never had any interest towards this woman, but she pestered him like glue. It was terribly annoying, but he didn’t have any other choice than to comply. He wanted to clear up things between them.
\\"Follow me,\\" Kevin stood up and walked straight to the entrance.
Celine’s eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn’t say anything and followed after Kevin. This would be her last chance.
Patrick rubbed his hand together. \\"Now that’s going to be very interesting. Don’t you want to find out what they’re talking about?\\"
\\"Why should I?\\"
\\"You sound like a jealous woman,\\" Patrick grinned. \\"Just go and follow after them. With your ability, I’m sure you can stay around him undetected.\\"
Honestly, she doubted that because Kevin’s martial arts ability seemed to surpass her. As she had never gotten the chance to see his ability clearly, she was not totally sure, but it was her opinion.
Weighing her option, she sighed to herself. She truly wanted to know.
Seeing Kanae stood up, Patrick’s lips curled into a smile. These two were really fun to tease.
Outside the hall, Celine and Kevin were standing on the field. The night was rather chilly and Celine shivered because of the wind, but Kevin acted as if he didn’t see anything.
\\"You better talk. I don’t have the time for nonsense,\\" Kevin said coldly.
Celine opened her mouth and looked at Kevin with disbelief. Did he just say that to her?
\\"Clan Head, is there no chance for me?\\" Celine asked with pleading tone. She wanted the seat beside Kevin as it was the greatest seat for those who were part of the underworld. It was such a prestigious seat that many people could only long to have.
Kevin looked back at Celine. She might look beautiful, but he never truly cared about beauty. \\"No, there’s no chance for you.\\"
Celine’s eyes watered when she heard the direct rejection from Kevin. Her father had told her that only Kevin has the final decision for this matter.
With his rejection, it was all over.
At that moment, she knew that there would be no other chance for her to stay with him anymore. He had the final say in every matter related to the clan. Slowly, she raised her head as a beautiful smile formed on her lips.
\\"I’m sorry,\\" Celine muttered before lunging towards Kevin with a small knife in her small hand.
Kevin remained unperturbed as he moved sideways and caught the girl’s hand. In the next moment, he twisted the woman’s arm, sending a course of pain to her which made her lost the grip of her knife.
Clang!
As the knife fell to the ground, Celine took out a small ball and dropped it to the ground. A despairing and wicked smile appeared on her beautiful face.
\\"If I can’t have you, no one can.\\"
Kevin’s gaze turned murderous. He quickly released the woman’s arm and tried to run from that place. But before he could get away, the ball had reached the ground. It emitted a lot of smoke that hit their body. Just a touch of the smoke caused him to feel weakened considerably, and he did everything he could to move away from the smoke’s range.
His expression turned stern as he understood that they hadn’t given up on trying to take his life.
In front of him, the woman struggled to keep up with the pain of her own poison as she slowly plopped to the ground, breathing her last.
’I have to get inside.’
He didn’t know what kind of poison this was, but it was extremely dangerous as the mere touch of the smoke on the air was enough to make him feel weakened. Just as he was about to get inside again, several people appeared before him with various weapons on their hand, ready to take him down.
His aura turned murderous. This would be a tough fight.
