Under the Veil of Night

Chapter 645 - Emergency Meeting



After leaving the room, Vena made her way to the other room. She saw Randy and Cain were staying in the room with limpid bodies. They were extremely exhausted after the insane battle with Kanae.

Randy's eyes lit up the moment he saw Vena. "Miss, is there any reason for your coming?"

Vena ignored Randy and took out two bottles. "Master Ferdinand asks me to give this to you two. Tomorrow is going to be a harsh battle, so he needs you two in perfect condition."

Because Ferdinand had captured Kanae, there was no doubt that the Ryukalin Clan would make their way here tomorrow. He would need everyone who could fight and that has to include these two. Although Randy was barely wounded, Cain has overtaxed his ability, wounding him internally.

Randy looked at the bottles. "Will this give us another pain?"

"This will enhance your ability," Vena replied. "This is one of the variants that Professor Taren makes. It has been diluted considerably to allow your body copes up with it."

"Do you think…?"

Before Randy could finish speaking, Cain had stepped forward and took the bottle. He shook it slightly before opening the lid and drank the content without any hesitation.

Randy was stunned. He was staring at Cain in disbelief when Vena stuffed the bottle to his hand. Seeing her cold glare, he couldn't muster any other words.

"Return this bottle to Professor Taren after you finished the content."

"Yes."

After giving the instruction, Vena walked away without hesitation, leaving Randy who was still trying to process the new information that he got. Turning his head to Cain, he opened his mouth. "Why are you drinking it without hesitation? Do you want to die sooner?"

Cain stared back at Randy with an expressionless face. "When you come here, you have to be ready to sell your soul to the devil. Your life is completely in Master Ferdinand's hand. There's no other way out of this place unless you're dead. This," he raised the bottle. "Is the quickest way."

Randy's mouth opened wide as he stared with disbelief. When he came here, he only had thoughts of getting Vena back. Little did he know that this would be his final grave.

He eyed the bottle in his hand. The content of the bottle was something he was familiar with as he had seen someone drink it in front of his eyes before. It would never end well.

"Do you think there's any way out?"

Cain didn't reply. He walked out quietly. His expression was as serene as before, without any apparent changes.

Randy thought about his condition. He knew that he would heal sooner, but he has never been a match for the others. Tightening his grip, he knew that he could never get out of this place ever again.

Sorting his thoughts, he drank the medicine.

Wells Family Residence

Jason stared at the phone in his hand resentfully. It was not because of the phone, but because of the news that he had just received. He had seen from the television that there was an incident in the West area of the city. However, there was no one who told him that they took Kanae until now.

"That captain is the one giving us troubles now," Jason rubbed his forehead. Right now, Fiore Group was partially disbanded as they had never gathered together anymore. Besides, they didn't take any missions lately as they handed every management to him.

Jason picked up his phone.

"Hello, this is Jason Wells. I want to talk with my father."

"Please wait a minute, I'll inform master that you're asking for him."

"Tell him that it's important," Jason added. He waited as he stared at the clock across the room. It was already noon time, which meant that it has been several hours since they took Kanae.

At this point, anything could happen.

"I'm here," his father's voice sounded irritated.

"Father, I need your help to summon every elder in Wells Family. I'm going to hold an emergency meeting with them all," Jason informed. "Plus, I want to talk with the other ministers."

"There's no need for you to tell me. I'm in the governor's office. There's going to be a meeting in two hours."

"Alright, I'll be there."

"Don't be late."

"Yes, Father," Jason closed the phone as his eyes glinted with ruthlessness. It seemed that his father had also made the same move with him. The two of them knew for sure that someone important was targeted. This time, the scale was no longer something that they could handle.

The reason was simply because there was the country's government involved!

If they got wind that their guards were getting killed in this city, there was no telling what they would do. Worst thing that might happen was forced reformation of this city. It would not do anyone any good.

When he prepared himself, he heard ruckus from the front door of his mansion. He smiled wryly as he guessed who it might be.

Bang!

"Brother Jason, tell me that Sis is alright!" Laura was asking with dagger in her eyes. Her gaze was clearly accusing the man that something happened because of him.

Jason sighed. "I don't know the current condition of your sister, but I'll do my best to solve the matter."

Laura puffed her cheek in anger. She stomped into the room and sat down on the sofa. From her bag, she took out her laptop.

"Who is the one chasing after her?"

"What do you plan to do, Laura?" Jason wore his suit as he peered to her laptop. He was stunned when he saw the email that she was about to send.

"I'll send news that will lock that person in this city," Laura flashed a devilish smile. "I have access to more than 90% companies in this city, including transportation companies. With a little incentive here and there, I'm sure that it's easy to make everyone hate that person in mere hours."

More than half of them were given access to her because of her sister and Jason's work hard. Although her influence was not as big as them, she still has some say in their companies.

Jason didn't know whether to laugh or cry right now. The sight of Laura made him recall the devil Kanae when someone hurt those close with her. She would surely bring them to their demise with her insane power and strength.

"I'll send you the information from your phone. Make sure that you make him to be the most hated person in this city."

"Leave it to me," Laura snorted. Whoever dared to hurt her sister should be ready to pay hundreds of folds! She would never let that person off at all.

"I'll be waiting for your result, Laura," Jason leaned in and kissed the girl's head. Laura was stunned for a second, which gave Jason the time he needed to run. He was just about to close the door when he saw a pillow headed towards him.

"JASON!"

Jason laughed as he closed the door. The girl must be fuming because of embarrassment at his sudden action. He picked up his phone and looked at the map towards the governor's hall.. It would take him an hour to reach the place.
