Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 689 Thank You Very Much, Rei

Time passed ever so swiftly as the people in the city were hyped because of the matter of Lima School. The appearance of Ferdinand as a monster-like-human became a sensation in the city. However, it didn't take long before the news was suppressed as they slowly forgot about it.

Only the center of the city, which was still partially ruins, was the evidence that there was something earthshaking that happened not long ago. As it was being cleaned up and there was no trace of Ferdinand everywhere, people started to forget about them.

There were still rumors here and there, but it no longer filled the front page anymore. Only those people who lost their beloved's life would continue to remember the incident forever.

The perfect example would be the hospital. The nurses were busy gossiping with each other during their break time.

"I'm really lucky to be promoted in the VIP place this time. There are so many handsome patients around!"

"Yes! There is one who is cold and another one is kind. They're really eye candy for us!"

"Oh, I couldn't wait for lunch time when I could see their faces again."

As the nurses were busy giggling with one another, Kanae brushed pass them towards Shiro's room. She had just received the news that Shiro had woken up and managed to move pretty well.

"Kanae," Jason greeted.

Inside the room, Jason was sitting near the bed while Shiro was lying. The upper part of the bed was slightly raised, so Shiro looked like he was sitting with a slightly lower angle.

"Brother Jason," Kanae replied. She turned her attention to Shiro. "How's your condition so far, Doctor Shiro? You seem to recover pretty fast."

"I'm a Servo, so it's natural that I have fast recovery ability," Shiro replied with a smile. "The doctor told me that part of my spine is broken on the part that directs it to my lower limbs, so I won't be able to walk again."

Kanae knew about that. The doctor had told her about Shiro's leg and the fact that this man might not be able to walk again. It was not like the chance was not there, but the rehabilitation alone might take two years at the bare minimum.

"Do you want to walk again?"

"Of course, I want," Shiro rolled his eyes. "Who wouldn't want to walk again? I don't really like spending most of my time lying on the bed without anything to do."

"You should just do the rehabilitation," Kanae replied. "The nurse told me that you seem to be hesitant."

"I don't have money," Shiro replied bluntly.

"I'll pay for you," both Kanae and Jason answered at the same time. The two of them looked at each other before they burst out in laughter. It seemed that they had the same mind.

Shiro sighed. "I can never repay both of you back. My skill as a doctor is too lousy to earn that much money."

"There's no need," Jason smirked. "You just have to sign a contract that you'll treat me without any cost every single time."

"We're cousins, but you never want to acknowledge it because you don't want to be known as part of Servo Family," Kanae shrugged. "Should there be a debt between family members?"

Shiro looked at the two of them. It was easy to see the sincerity in their eyes as they genuinely wanted to help him in this situation. It might not be much for them, but it would mean everything for him. The money he had gathered from their time in Black Street could only cover part of his rehabilitation, so he was not sure about spending them all just for this.

He smiled at his friends. "Since I can't walk anymore, I think this is the time for me to step down from Fiore Group. I can't help you out much."

"Ah," Kanae tapped her hands. "I almost forgot to tell you that I dissolved Fiore Group. Let the group be a legend for most of the people. It's a fantastic story if one should say."

Since Shiro was sneaking in Lima School when she absolved the group, he hadn't realized that Kanae had completely dissolved the group. There shouldn't be any movement left from their group for the past few months.

"If you tweak the story a bit, it can become even grander," Jason smirked. His mind was spinning, trying to think of the other combinations in the story of their group. After all, from the cannon fodder to be the one who took the title of the strongest, who wouldn't dream about it?

Shiro rolled his eyes. He could guess that Jason was up to no good again. However, it would be interesting if he could see the stories of their missions.

"Thank you both of you. Thank you very much, Rei."

Kanae smiled. "Just focus on your recovery. When you're discharged, the city will be completely different than now."

Looking at the window, it was easy for him to see towards the direction of the destruction. Most of them were already cleaned up, but many were still there as it was not a job that could be finished in mere weeks. The words that Kanae said made him longed to truly see a completely different city.

Not a city of crime anymore but a proper city that could flourish in normal condition.

"Is that what you're going to pursue now, Rei?" Shiro asked. His eyes were filled with inquiry.

Kanae nodded. She smiled brightly. "Both Kevin and I are making plan for the future development of the city. Even though it's still in an early stage, we hope that this city can turn into a better place without the need for violence in every turn and corner."

Shiro smiled. The dream of turning this city into a great one sounded extremely tempting. It was a dream worth realizing as it would affect the life of numerous people in this city.

At the same time, it might bring this city into a greater height and possibly matched against those rich cities. It sounded really awesome.

"I will take your word, Rei."
