"Are you saying that the Ryukalin Clan is weak?"
"No, obviously no. It's just our number is lacking."
"Do you say that our clan can't fight with fewer numbers…." Mike was about to lash out again when he noticed that Kevin raised his hand. He immediately went quiet.
"Double training for a month and half salary for three months," Kevin said in cold tone.
The man on the other side of the line nearly choked. Having less salary was not a big problem as they have some savings. The training was different, though. They wouldn't be able to survive if they had to undergo harsh training for a month.
"Boss, please be lenient…"
"Double training for two months," Kevin cut him off.
"… We understand Boss."
Mike talked with the man on the phone for another minute before hanging up. His usual calm and polite demeanor has disappeared. This only happened when he was angry like this.
"Mike, how's the performance of Fiore Group?" Kevin asked.
Mike recovered his composure as he coughed a bit. "They managed to secure the location in less than one hour. Considering the area and their number, it's a great feat."
Kevin nodded his head. He also thought that they did a commendable job. After all, not everyone had the same capabilities as that group. In his view, their ability was not below the outer elite of his own clan.
Neo smirked. "They're powerful, but not that precious. Isn't that right, Boss?"
Kevin didn't answer Neo's question as he tapped his laptop. "How much is the payment they ask for?"
"They agree with the initial payment that man posted. It's not too much considering their position as the strongest group, but it's still in the middle tier."
"At least, they know their place," Kevin said calmly before returning his attention to the laptop. He was still working on something else.
Neo steered the wheel to the side. "Boss, don't you think they're truly interesting? We still need help from those small groups and gangs occasionally. After all, clans are not allowed to break the rules."
Faced with Neo's remark, Kevin paid no heed. He ignored the boy and focused on his work completely. However, Neo also didn't feel offended as this was already an usual occurrence.
"Having some relations with local groups is not bad. Besides, Fiore Group has its base in our territory," Neo grinned.
Mike looked towards Neo. "Don't think of doing anything without Boss knowing. You won't be able to do that."
"I know."
…
Kanae and Tommy only stopped at their houses for several minutes to take their belongings. Kanae only needed a few seconds because she had already packed them while Tommy just scrambled for anything he could grab before boarding Jason's car.
"Are you sure that your new place is hidden?" Tommy asked Jason. "Last time, our training was interrupted by your friends."
"I bought a remote place in the east. No one should know about this place because it's surrounded by forests. Besides, it's in the middle of nowhere," Jason answered casually.
Kanae looked outside. Even though night had already fallen, she still could faintly see the surroundings from the moonlight. They were headed towards the mountains and going further away from the city.
She took off her glasses and her vision turned slightly blurry.
"Why are you taking them off? You can't see clearly when you don't wear them, right?" Tommy asked curiously. Right now, it was pretty dark in the car as they were on the mountain road. If only Tommy could see clearly, he would surely be mesmerized by Kanae's appearance.
Kanae nodded her head. "But I can fight better because I use all of my senses when I don't wear my glasses."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah."
