Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 690 Plans for the Future
After a few hours, the two of them walked out of Shiro's room. Shiro would be focusing on his recovery, so there would be no way for him to participate in the city's matters anymore. When he got discharged, the two of them believed that the city wouldn't be the same anymore.
As they walked in the corridor, Kanae heard the nurses gossiped as they looked at Jason. They were saying how handsome he was and so on. Her lips curled up as they walked to the man's room.
"You're still as popular as ever, Brother Jason," Kanae laughed.
Jason arched his eyebrows. He shook his head lightly. He was already used with those women coming to bother him over and over again. Their talk was already something that he got used to.
"That's because I have a handsome face. It's not my fault that they're coming to me."
"Should I tell Laura that you're getting close with the nurses?"
"Wait! Don't!" Jason was horrified if Laura misunderstood his relationships with the nurses. It would be a great hell for him if that girl got angry at him and refused to talk with him. Just a few days ago, he had to spend a long time coaxing the girl because he 'accidentally' forgot about her birthday.
It was actually him wanting to give a surprise, but he took it too far, making the girl mad instead. After all, he was still hospitalized here, but tried to make that stunt…
Kanae rolled her eyes. "You know that I don't even contact her at all, but you still take my threat for real."
"Knowing you, Captain, I'm sure that you can make the news enter her ears one way or another. I know that you won't give up so easily."
"Yep, you're correct."
Jason sat down on his bed as he sighed. "You didn't come here just to tease me again, right? What is it that you want to talk about?"
"It's regarding Fiore Group," Kanae raised her head. "Do you know what it means by absolving the group?"
"Yes. You want me to cease my work in Black Street completely, right? I'm sure you know that I still work on the underworld by making use of my skills occasionally."
"I noticed it when I see that the name Fiore Group somehow still held so much influence in Black Street. Even though I haven't been doing anything at all, it didn't make sense unless you were the one who made the move."
Jason sighed. He had tried to use his influence as part of Fiore group covertly. Who would have thought that Kanae still managed to find his trace one way or another?
"Kanae, even if you tell me to stay away, I can't. I couldn't let Ferdinand go just like that after what he nearly does to my family."
Thinking about his cousin and the attack directed at Laura, Jason felt his blood boiled in rage. He was angry. Even though he knew that his cousin was truly a man filled with greed, they were still family. He didn't wish to kill the two of them.
But things didn't work the way he wanted it.
As for their attack to Laura, he wanted to kill them all. What they had done crossed his bottom line.
"I don't ask you to let it go, but I ask you to not get involved directly," Kanae replied. Her eyes looked straight at Jason's eyes. "The pursuit and battle against Ferdinand might be the hardest one and I can't let you lose your life, not when you have someone who will miss you so badly."
Jason opened his mouth but no words came out. It was true that he wouldn't be able to match against Ferdinand no matter what he did. His fighting prowess has long been unable to match the real monsters.
After a few seconds, he opened his mouth again. "What do you want me to do?"
"Kevin plans on reforming the entire city, which I believe that you too."
Jason nodded his head. Although he did it secretly, he has been taking over the business of this city under his hand and swept the people inside. Although he hadn't done anything yet, he knew that Kanae already realized why he wanted the control of the companies.
"To change the entire city, we have already erased many parts of the Black Street and let them become ordinary streets. Even though so, many people were still cautious of the place, so I want you to make changes through the law, Brother Jason."
"You're not talking about me being the governor, right?"
The governor was the highest ranking official in this city. Even though they were responsible to the country, most governors could govern their city as they wished. That was what happened to the previous governor in this city as he let out the work for his subordinates.
Kanae shrugged. "You're still too young to be one, but if you want to, I'll support you."
"You must be kidding me!" Jason rolled his eyes. He didn't have any interest in becoming an official. Officials have to work on their table for hours every day and then visit the site to see the case. He wouldn't have the patient to do them every single day.
"What I want is just you become the public leader and help the city from under the light," Kanae answered.
Standing under the gaze of numerous people and face their question has never been a problem for Jason. As the young master of Wells Family, he had to do them numerous times, so it was pretty common for him.
Although he wanted to fight with Ferdinand head on, he knew that violence was not the answer to all problems. Even though it was necessary to fight against Ferdinand, to defeat him completely, they had to use other means available.
"I understand, I'll do that," Jason shrugged.
"That's great."
"Also, Rei, will this be our last meeting as friends too?"
Kanae didn't reply as she merely looked back and smiled. There was no need to answer something like this.
Jason waved his hand. "See you later, Rei. Take care of yourself."
"See you later, Brother Jason. Be careful."
