Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 674 The Real Plan

Outside the Gate

"The monsters have decreased by a lot," Dean nodded with a satisfied expression. They have been fighting for quite a long time, so seeing the result made him rather elated.

"Is he alright?" the elder looked at Lou with a worried expression. The fight with Ayres, despite ended in Lou's win, caused the man to suffer a lot of wounds.

Even after the fight, the man had forced himself to participate in eliminating the other monster. He worried that something might happen to Lou if this continued. After all, this man has an important position in the Ryukalin Clan.

Dean passed Lou a glance. "If that old man wants to fight, let him be."

"Old man?" the leader was speechless. Even though he knew that Lou was already quite old, it was not enough to call that man 'old man'. After all, with the way he did things, it would be hard to believe that he was already pretty old.

"What you should worry about are the youngsters inside."

"Ah, should I send reinforcement?"

Dean looked at the building inside Lima School. So far, Neo and Mike had managed to destroy most of the building, but the broken tower made him rather worried. The two of them should have been there, so an enemy should be there. If he was more powerful that Mike and Neo, they might even die in that place.

Besides, the others were taking a long time in the building.

Bang!

Dean turned around only to see Lou crouched down. His face was flushed red as sweats continued to roll down his forehead. Right now, he was forcing himself to move to the limit, ignoring all cries his body has.

"You should stop moving," Dean dashed forward and pressed his hand on Lou's shoulder. "Even if you work to death, you won't be able to make him proud in case you lost your life."

Lou raised his head slightly. He turned around and nodded his head. "I know. There's no need to remind me of something like that."

"I'm doing it for your own sake," Dean rolled his eyes. "Learn to be a little flexible, Lou. You're a hindrance for everyone if you keep on being a rigid and annoying man like this."

"I know," Lou brushed Dean's hand and stood up. His gaze was fixated on the gate before him, hoping that someone would come out and told them what had happened inside the place.

Not long after that, they could see three people hurriedly making their way to the gate. One of them was being carried while the one who carried had to fight the monsters too.

"Help them!"

Even before the soldiers could move, the people from Black Street already moved forward. They formed a circle and protected the three people. The reason for their movement was simple: they saw Patrick.

Who among them didn't know this training maniac? If he was in bad mood, he would challenge them all and destroyed many things. It was already hard for them in the past, so they didn't want to make things difficult for them now too.

"Senior Patrick, Alice, who is this?" Dean walked closer.

Patrick glanced at Cain. "This is Cain, Ferdinand's son."

"What?" the leader was struck in astonishment. He didn't even know that Ferdinand has a son. Seeing the pale complexion on Cain's face, he was alarmed that something bad might had happened.

"Why are you taking him out?"

"Is there any medicine here?" Patrick asked. "It'll be better if Kevin's doctor is here."

"He's here, I'll call him," Lou dashed to the row of ambulances on the back. They have prepared them in case something happened. So far, there were numerous people sent to the hospital although many of them died before they could even reach the ambulances.

Dean inspected as Patrick placed the boy to the ground once they were out of the gate. "He's not wounded, but his face is pale."

"He overtaxed his power," Patrick replied calmly. "Do you remember the barrier? He's the one that makes them."

Dean's eyes turned large as he stared at the young man in front of him. However, Patrick's words caused him to understand one thing. Talented people could only be born from another talented one. It didn't require a genius to guess that Ferdinand was also someone who has awakened his talent.

"The doctor is here," Lou dragged the doctor forward.

The doctor crouched down near Cain and frowned. He took out a bottle and passed a tablet to the boy. "Drink this, it'll make you feel better."

Cain stared at the tablet before taking it and drank it. He didn't understand why they were taking him out of the place like that. It would have been better for him to stay in the place much longer and possibly, dead in that place.

"Why are you helping me?" Cain asked as his breathing stabilized.

"I don't want to help you if it's not because of Kevin," Patrick snorted. He would be more than happy to see his enemy rot in that place rather than bringing them to the safe place.

Cain looked at the buildings and turned his head to Patrick. "You're too late. Father's plan has been set in motion from a long time ago. Even if you try to destroy this entire place, there's no way you can stop him."

"What is his plan?" Dean asked Cain.

"I don't know," Cain replied. His father never divulged the secret of his real plan to anyone, much less someone like him. However, he knew that his father had been prepared for this place to be destroyed.

"How do you know that we're too late?" Patrick decided to ask the other question that he didn't understand.

Cain's gaze was fixated on the buildings in front of him. He came to know about the fact that his father was prepared because of a call from Vena. She was asking his brother's whereabouts, which was weird considering that they didn't usually pay any attention.

It was then that he knew. "Don't you realize that there are people missing from my father's lineup?"

Patrick and Dean's face changed considerably. They were only paying attention to Ferdinand and Aria because they were the leader behind. But what if this place was only a diversion?

While the real plan of Ferdinand has started somewhere else, they were here. Unfortunately, they didn't know who among Ferdinand's men were missing.

Dean looked at Patrick. "Who do you see in this place so far?"

"There are Jeff, Ayres, Iris, Cain, and Vena," Patrick replied. He was not sure about the others, but there shouldn't be that many people left.

"There are still a lot that you haven't seen," Dean frowned. "We need to wait until they have finished with the battle before finding out who has been missing."

"Is it possible to send help?" the leader asked in a rather low voice. He was afraid that he would become a nuisance if he tried to ask.

"No."

"May I know the reason?"

Patrick glanced at Cain. "Ferdinand plans on destroying this entire place, so we can't get in. If we're caught up in that disastrous battle, it'll be the end of everything."

Lou frowned. He looked at the buildings as he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Kevin would be alright. At the same time, he started to gather his strength for the battle with the monsters again. Their number had decreased, but their fighting skill was still at the very top.
