Kevin had to wake up early. There was a gathering with the other ns this morning, and he had to attend as the Ryukalin n Head. He looked towards the other two who were busy dressing up.
"There’s no need to be so formal. Besides, many of them are our school’s ssmates."
Neo looked back. "Boss, you look good whatever you wear, but we don’t. This is why we have to dress up carefully."
Kevin gazed coldly as Neo shut his mouth. He knew that Kevin didn’t like the joke, but he always said it out loud because he knew very well the situation that his Boss in was not that good. After all, Kevin was the youngest n Head among the five strongest and biggest ns.
Mike sighed. "Boss, be careful of the others. Many of them are going to try taking advantage of you."
"They won’t be able to," Kevin answered simply and calmly. He was not afraid of them. This was not the first time he faced them and he had been trying to keep a low profile as he didn’t want to make those people focus their attention on him.
Even if the Ryukalin n was the strongest n, he still had to wait. His position was not stable enough to make the other n Heads submit to him as they did to his father years ago.
"Let’s go."
It was still early in the morning, but they already arrived at the venue. No one dared toete as they knew that the other ns would look unfavorably on them if they camete to the gathering. If they wanted to increase their power, they would need to make sure that they gave a good impression.
Kevin walked inside with Mike and Neo following behind him. Usually, only the n heads would attend with their close and trusted attendants, but asionally, the young masters of the ns would appear to show their faces. This time was the same as there were several young men in either their teenage years or their early twenties.
"Boss, your seat is over there."
The other four strongest ns were sitting around a table. Three of the n Heads brought their sessors, who sat behind them. The Zone n brought Rick, the Souhon n brought Roy and Jay, while the other n brought his first son.
When Roy and Jay saw Kevin, they were startled. At first, they didn’t understand what this young man was doing here. They only knew him as a sessful businessman in their school that theypletely forgot his surname. ’Kalin’ was the name only given to the direct lineage in the Ryukalin n.
"My apologies for making the elders wait," Kevin greeted them formally.
Although he was notte, since he was thest, this was the usual custom. The others had alreadye, so they nodded their heads. Although some of them showed disdain, no one dared to tantly make trouble for the biggest n in this city.
As the biggest n, the Ryukalin n held more than a quarter of the city as its territory. It was unprecedented and no one dared to imagine fighting head on with them. Unless they wanted to die, no one dared to.
The Souhon n only held around one sixth of this city as did the Tamari n, the third biggest n in this city. Lastly, there were the Merion n and the Zone n who each held around one-seventh of this city as their territory. The rest of the city was divided by the smaller ns that were scattered all over the ce.
Roy’s eyes were fixed on Kevin. He had heard that the Ryukalin n Head was only a teenager. Now that he saw this man, he felt that the story was true. He rarely met with Kevin, but he already heard about this boy a lot in school.
On the other hand, Jay felt like fainting. He was basically Kevin’sckey during his time in school. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that his father wouldn’t get angry at him for what he did.
"As usual, let’s discuss our current issues," the Merion n Head started calmly. He was already an old man, but he was still filled with vigor. Behind his back, his son was watching him carefully. He was afraid his father was going to do something that crossed the line.
"Not a problem," the other n heads immediately engaged in the light talk. No one tantly pointed out their bad rtionships or whatever as they only wanted to talk about things that were pleasant to the ears at the beginning.
The big ns were having a good time talking about this and that as the smaller ns could only engage in light talk amongst themselves. Some of the ns were too small to attract the big ns’ notice, so no one tried to interfere. Unless there was a change in theposition of the five ns, they didn’t dare to interrupt.
Kevin nearly didn’t talk at all. Because of his young age, the others were not treating him too seriously. As for himself, he felt that there was no need for him to show off at this time.
"Now, I want to ask something, when will the dispute between the Souhon n and Zone n end?"
When they reached this topic, the situation turned tense. The Souhon n’s territory was in the Northwest while Zone n was in the Northeast. The two of them were basically vying to be the king of the north, so they often shed.
Kevin raised his head. "I hope you two can dissolve the matter quickly as it’s not a trivial problem."
The Ryukalin n held the territory in the center but slightly to the southeast. They were quite big and had borders with all the other ns. The other two ns held territory extending from the west to the south. Around them, there were several small ns, but they were not really worth mentioning.
Zone n Head traded gazes with Souhon n Head. The two of them wanted to fight for the territory in the north, so they were not on good terms with each other. Besides, with the poor abilities of Jay and Roy, the Souhon n would likely lose even more areas.
"I heard that the Souhon n joined hands with Fiore Group, is it true?"
Facing this question, Jay stiffened. It was his idea to bring the Fiore Group to help them, and he didn’t even try to consult the others. Saying that they borrowed help from the group was rather incorrect as only Tommy helped him because they were friends.
"We only have a shallow rtionship. It’s not too deep," Souhon n Head answered.
"Fiore Group helped you out when you shed with me," Zone n Head took out a paper. "If it is the group that has a problem, will you help them?"
He put the paper on the table. They could clearly see a man riddled with wounds tied to the chair. They couldn’t see his face too clearly due to the blood, but they recognized his clothes. The dark brown headband was Tom’s trademark. He was wearing a shirt and jeans, which was the usual clothes he wore. On his face, there was a mark that seemed to be a scar on the right eye.
Kevin recognized the boy instantly. He passed a nce towards Neo, who immediately moved behind him and started working on the special smallputer that he integrated into his watch. If Tommy was truly hurt, Fiore Group might make a move.
"He’s not answering his phone," Neo whispered softly.
Kevin moved his gaze towards the picture. Should he help him? He might not have any rtion with Fiore Group, but he was Tommy’s leader in school. He didn’t want to see someone he knew get hurt.
Jay clenched his fist. This was his fault. He looked towards his father. "Fat –n Head, what are we going to do?"
Souhon n Head looked towards the picture. Fiore Group might be powerful, but it was not worth it to sacrifice their members just to help them. There were other powerful groups on the street. Fiore Group was not irreceable.
"We just have a shallow rtionship," Souhon n Head stressed. "It’s not my concern."
"Father!" Jay was surprised.
Souhon n Head raised his hand in front of Jay. It was a warning for the boy to not make a move recklessly. On the other hand, Jay felt truly helpless. He wanted to help his friend very badly.
Zone n Head smiled. "I see, it’s a pity."
"I guess, there’s no use keeping him alive," Rick took out his phone. He was going to make the call to let his men kill Tom.
