Core member serving place…
It was a dangerous position as they would get close with those from the core member of the Ryukalin Clan . In addition, they have to be extra careful to not invoke the wrath of those members . Each of them was experts in a fight . Offending them would be the same as searching for an instant ticket to hell .
Kanae stared at the words with a complicated feeling . This would make her stood close to Kevin as she might even be the one serving him drinks . However, she was afraid he would recognize her real identity as she always stayed near him under her real identity .
"Rei, you have to be careful," Jason warned when he heard her words . "It'll give you more chances to protect him, but you might risk your identity leak out . "
The thing that group' members feared the most were not wounds, but their identity leaked out . They became groups for a reason, usually money, and they didn't want others to know that they were part of the underworld . This caused the groups to become someone who has a dual identity and if possible, lasted until the end of their life .
Many of them only became part of the underworld due to their condition and not their own volition . It was the same as Kanae, which made her extremely reluctant to reveal her second identity as Rei to anyone . If words went out about that, she might not be able to live a peaceful life anymore, something she didn't want to happen .
"It's dangerous," a man by Kanae's side commented when he saw Kanae's plate .
"I know," Kanae answered . "I just have to be more careful . "
"Good luck," the man nodded his head .

Kanae stared at the words once again, sighing internally . It seemed she wouldn't be able to escape the fate of staying close with him, yet unable to talk with him .
After they were divided into groups, they were taken to their respective workplace . Seeing the large hall decorated with finely decoration, Kanae was absolutely speechless . She knew that the clans were mostly rich, but she didn't know that they were this rich .
It was no wonder small clans always pursued to have bigger territory . More territories meant more money for them . Who would want to reject free money offered to them?
"You will stand here, near the counter," the man instructed . "You stay there and give drinks if anyone calls you . As for you, you can…"Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
As he pointed them randomly, they paid attention to any of the position he said . Finishing his instruction, he told them to stand by their post and never leave it for any reason in an hour . Before that time, they have to change their uniform and so on .
Time passed swiftly and Kanae finished her preparation . Seeing the flimsy youth appearance in the mirror, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry .
'Thankfully, I wear a mask . My appearance is not suitable to pretend as a boy . '
Kanae walked back to the hall and stood near the table calmly . The other servants were standing on their place too; ready to serve the clan members if it was needed .
The members started to arrive one by one . Many of them were strangers to her as she didn't recognize them . Some of them looked towards the servants with disgust . After all, many of them did come from the slums and many other poor places . They only came because of the large money the clan offered should they come here .
It was then she saw Master Rudy walking with the young man beside her . She still felt rather resentful to the young man as he didn't allow her to know his name, yet .
Master Rudy walked to a table near her and sat down calmly . He waved his hand for drinks . Kanae looked to the other side, seeing that the other servants were busy, she knew that Master Rudy meant for her . She took the tray and walked to Master Rudy .
"Master, what do you want to drink?" the young man asked .
Master Rudy laughed . "Just pick anything easy to drink . Not the alcoholic one please, I don't want to get drunk before the gathering started . "
The young man rolled his eyes . If Master Rudy could get drunk, that would be a miracle in itself . He had stayed by Master Rudy's side long enough to know that this old man's alcohol tolerance was rather high .
"I'll just pick some light drinks . "
As the young man picked the glasses, Master Rudy was looking at Kanae with interest . Even without anyone telling him, he realized that many of the servants were hiding their martial arts . It was interesting to see how many people sneaking into this gathering .
He didn't know their intention, but those experts in martial arts wouldn't become a servant for little money the clan offered . He was sure that they had a deeper plan .
Also, this person before him…
Master Rudy smiled slightly . There was no way he wouldn't recognize his disciple . No matter how hard she tried to hide it, her habit and power were apparent in his eyes .
"Rei, you shouldn't try to involve yourself deeper in the clan," Master Rudy said in a low tone .
The young man's eyes grew larger in surprise . He knew that Master Rudy was talking to the servant beside them, but never in his wildest dream would he thought that this young person was his junior disciple .
Kanae smiled wryly . She really shouldn't get this position . "There is a mission I have to finish . "
"I hope you won't stand in front of me, Rei . "
"I won't, Master . "
Master Rudy nodded his head when he heard Kanae's answer . He didn't want to hurt his own disciple, so he could only hope that she wouldn't stand against him .
Kanae moved back to her post right at the time Kevin came in with Neo and Mike beside him . Seeing that his appearance was no different than usual, she wondered if he didn't care too much about his appearance . At the same time, she noticed that the atmosphere turned rather cold .
'Is the dispute in the clan has become this severe?'
Even an outsider like her could feel that the situation was rather tense . Several members of the clan were giving their own clan head look of hatred . It was as if, they didn't even hold an ounce of respect to him .
Kevin ignored them all as he walked to his seat . He bypassed Kanae without any intention to look at her . Right now, his face was as expressionless as ever with icy aura emanating from him .
When he bypassed her, Kanae could feel the surge of invisible power emanating from Kevin . The other servants were already trembling in fear, but she stood rather firm . Her eyes were looking at Kevin .
She wanted to hold him .
This side of him made her rather troubled because he looked rather scary and unfeeling . It was the perfect picture of a cold leader with dangerous aura around him, telling people to not go near him . Although she knew that it was necessary, she preferred his warm smile and tender affection .
*cough*
That would be rather weird if he showed that in front of his clan's members .
Kanae watched as Kevin sat down not far from her . He was close, yet she couldn't stay by his side like before . The difference between them made her only able to see him from afar . The privilege to stay close to him has disappeared for it was no longer her place .
She lowered her eyes to the ground, looking towards the finely carved marble floor below her feet .
