Under the Veil of Night

BANG!

CLANG!

In front of Laura, Jason blocked the bullet with ease. His long sword was already ready from a long time ago because he knew that he has to be careful. This sword was different than the one he used in Black Street. He couldn't possibly use the same one as it would give away his identity.

This was the sword he always brought as the young master of Wells Family. Because of his position, a lot of people wanted his life. He had to bring a sword and gun every day.

Behind him, Laura's face was white with fear. Even though she had lived in this city, she was not used facing with gunshot, especially with her being the target.

"Don't stand in my way!" Frank roared.

In the next second, several men suddenly took out their gun before aiming to the Aida and Nali Family members. Those were the men that Frank had placed beforehand. As the head family, it was a piece of cake for him to sneak more people inside.

Sounds of metal clashing and gunshots reverberate in the hall, causing chaos to them.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Among the men, Shiro was shooting them with ease. His gaze carefully followed the men whom Frank brought inside. As an experienced shooter, it would be a miracle for him to miss. All of his shots were headshot.

"Captain, we're handling the men and protecting the Nali Family member," Shiro reported as he continued shooting.

"I know," Kanae's light voice could be heard. "Keep it up."

At this moment, Frank already shot himself to come near Jason. The sudden speed this man showed caused Jason to be extremely wary.

Clang!

"You!" Jason noticed that the muscle of Frank already swollen badly. The size was clearly not normal.

Frank's eyes narrowed. He pushed the man back. "Don't block my way! I'll kill you!"

CLANG! SLASH!

A knife was swung towards him in extraordinary speed, making an arc from above to below. He retreated in time just to have the knife ripped his clothes. Frank stared to the front fervently.

The face of a young lady entered his vision. Her eyes were glaring towards him icily.

"No one can touch my sister," Kanae said in a cold voice. "Jason, take her out of here."

"Aye," Jason turned around and picked up Laura carefully in a bridal style. "Sorry but we have to get out quickly."

Laura nodded her head as Jason ran towards the exit along with many others who wanted to get out. Her mind was still filled with the sudden move that her sister made as her fist clenched tightly, gripping Jason's suit.

'Sis, as I thought, you're hiding your real work, right?'

Tears streamed out of Laura's eyes. To be able to move that fast and precise, she didn't know how many battle her sister has to face in the past few years. It pained her to think of how much the other party has to go through in order to reach this point.

"Laura, don't cry. We're going out in a while," Jason tried to coax the little girl in his arm. He didn't know why she cried, so he assumed that she was afraid of the people in this place.

"Y….Yes," Laura answered in a low voice. Her eyes closed as she tried to sort out her emotion.

In the middle of the hall, Kanae was standing in front of Frank coldly. The man before her was someone whom she hated the most in her life because he caused the downfall of her family years ago. Many times, he tried to take advantage of their simple life and robbed everything that belonged to her.

CLANG!

Kanae blocked the attack from Frank with ease. Even though she was only using the fruit knife near the table where she was eating before, her movement was still very good. In her hand, the small knife was able to block the ruthless attack as if it was made with strong metal.

"You little demon!" Frank roared and tried to push Kanae, only to find out that his strength couldn't' match against this woman. Who in the world was she?

PENG!

Kanae moved back after pushing Frank back. "Take care of the camera, Shin."

"I got it," Shiro aimed to the cameras around the hall and shot them all within seconds. His fast movement caused those who were watching the video to scream in fear. If that shot was directed towards them, they would be dead.

"Where's the video?" the manager roared.

"There's nothing more," the man answered with despair. "They're all broken."

"What? They're all placed very high, but they're destroyed?"

"Yes," his subordinates didn't know what to say anymore. Right now, all of the cameras existed in the hall were broken. They would be unable to know how the situation in the hall was.

Shiro watched the surrounding carefully. "They're all finished, Rei. You can freely fight. The others have been evacuated out of the room."

"Good job. Destroy the building."

"Yes."

Kanae stomped on the ground towards Frank. Right before his eyes, she agilely changed her direction and made a deep slash on his side. Blood was gushing out from the wound she created as Frank tried to match up with her speed to no avail.

For the next few seconds, it was nothing but hell for Frank. He couldn't match up with her speed as Kanae moved around so much, giving him light wounds because the knife couldn't go deeper. He no longer felt any pain, but he could sense that he was growing slower.

"Even after using the drugs, I can't match up with her," Kanae stopped and stood before Frank, her eyes were looking towards the pitiful man before her. "Is that what you think inside your heart?"

"What kind of sorcery you use to me?" Frank roared. He leaped up to attack Kanae again, but she swiftly evaded it and landed a kick on the man's stomach, pushing him back several steps before tumbling to the ground.

"I'm not doing anything," Kanae shook her head lightly. "You're the one who push me to have a life like this, my dear uncle. If not for your suppression all these years, I will never be able to achieve what I have right now."

"No!" Frank roared. "That's a lie!"

The little girl whom he never regarded in his life was now standing before him, trampling everything he had. Everything he held dear, his money, his daughter, his position, all of them was lost because of this one woman. The one whom he regarded as an ant that he could crush anytime, who stood so pitifully against him even when she had no chance, was now someone towering so big that he couldn't even look.

Eyes blazing with hatred, he stood up once again.. Frank yelled with all of his strength. "I won't let you off!"
