Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 691 Country Official’s Representative

Kanae walked out of Jason's room as she thought about the decision. Because she would stay by Kevin's side, there was a high chance that she wouldn't be able to meet with them in normal condition anymore.

'Thank you for everything.'

From the corner of her eyes, she noticed that Laura was coming, so Kanae moved away from the door towards her own room. They had an unspoken promise that they would not speak with each other for the time being.

As Kanae left the place, Laura knocked on the door and entered. Her eyes widened when she saw the shirtless Jason.

Bam!

Closing the door again, Laura covered her face with her hand. She should know better than to come inside right after knocking. It took several seconds for the door to be opened again, showing Jason. This time, he wore his shirt as he peered at Laura's face with a grin.

"Do you like what you see, little girl?"

Pow!

Laura slammed the book on her hand to Jason's face. "Stop teasing me! Don't you know that I'm coming?"

Jason laughed as he turned around and walked inside again. He didn't know that it was Laura because all he knew was there were people outside. The only time he would know it was Laura was when she knocked the door and directly came inside without any permission.

"So, what makes you come so early? Are you already missing me so much?"

Laura pursed her lips. "Who's missing you? I just come to ask about the control of those who come and get out of this city. I can't hold it on anymore, so I'm thinking about asking your help."

"There's no need for you to do that anymore," Jason chuckled.

"Why? Don't you need to make sure that they're still in this city?"

"Don't worry. I just received the news that those people are still in this city and won't get out for the time being. The limitation is not needed anymore," Jason smiled gently. "Aside from that, I think it's better for you to stay behind the scene, Laura. You have worked hard."

Laura eyed Jason suspiciously. Every single time someone asked her to do something, there must be another reason behind it.

"It's just dangerous, so I don't wish for you to get involved too much," Jason reasoned.

"Won't you protect me?" Laura tilted her head.

Jason smiled wryly. Convincing Laura was a bit hard for him, especially when she was making cute expressions most of the time. "I'll protect you, but I won't take risks. You're so beautiful that many wolves are after you."

"Not as much as women chasing after you."

"Hey! I told you that I already rejected them. Besides, when did you see me get close with someone else?"

Laura humped. "I'll stay in the back, but you have to help me create a new recipe again for the sweets. I'm a bit lacking in my experiment because of the work lately."

"Alright, alright, I will," Jason smiled. Internally, he thought about excuses he could give her so that he could hide in the bathroom and throw some when it was already too much. He didn't want to get obesity because of eating too many sweets!

…

In Kanae's room, Kevin was sitting on the sofa with Neo and Mike sitting on the chair. On the other hand, Lou was standing not far from Kevin. Her eyes blinked once to see their expression clearly because all she could see was three pandas in front of her.

"You three look like pandas," Kanae commented.

Neo rolled his eyes. "This is because I'm working hard for the past few days! I already found the location of Jon and at the same time, I know that Randy and Vena are searching for him."

"Randy and Vena? They managed to get out?"

"Apparently so, I found their trace that they left behind and some cameras caught them together," Neo replied with a smirk. Even though there were no close pictures, there were plenty of them being together. Somehow, that man managed to bring Vena out of the place.

"Has Lou found something?"

"Nope." Neo stuck out his tongue and smirked at the man as if showing off that he got a better result.

Lou ignored the boy and turned his head to Kevin. "I have finished gathering the list of the officials that stay in government after the sweeping because of the recent news."

"There's a sweeping?" Mike asked.

"Yes. Not many people want to keep their position as officials after the incident with Ferdinand. Only those who are prepared to receive the brunt step up and clean the mess," Kanae replied.

Some time has passed after the incident in Lima School. There was no progress about this matter at all. After all, the three main people who were the main culprit were still somewhere in the city without any traces.

The only person they managed to find so far was Jon Aida.

The government did a thorough cleaning on their part. Those incompetent officials were kicked out either honorably or dishonorably. It was easy for them to take advantage when things were peaceful, but now that they were in the limelight, only the competent officials stepped up. They would make the city become even better under their leadership.

"So, where's this Jon?" Kanae asked curiously.

Neo took out his laptop where he placed a paper in between the screen and keyboard. He showed the paper to Kanae. "I already marked his position in the map, so we can go there after this."

Kanae peered at the paper as she frowned. The location of the place seemed to be in the previous Souhon Clan's territory, but it was near the beach. From the way she looked, it didn't seem like a strategic place to hide at all.

Bang!

The door opened and Patrick walked inside. He looked at the five people inside the room. "There's a call from Matt for all of us."

"Connect it to the speaker."

"I did," Patrick closed the door and walked closer. "Matt, you can start now."

"Alright," Matt's tone sounded rather solemn from the phone. "The country's representatives are going to come to your place in three days. They have selected two people aside from me, so you have to be prepared to receive a harsh evaluation. If the situation there is outside the control based on their examination, the city is going to be erased from the map."

"Wait! Wait! What examination?"

"The representatives didn't come to your city to sightsee, but they're here to give evaluation for the city's condition. The reputation you have and the recent incident attracted a lot of people from higher-ups. Some of them treat this city as a dangerous place, so they want to eliminate it."

"Eliminate?" Neo was stunned.

Kanae tilted her head. "Is it possible for the country to erase a city from the map?"

"It's not impossible, but you wouldn't want it to happen. In the history of this country, this rarely happens and only to the worst that it will happen. Anyway, you have to make sure that the city gives a good impression, so I come to ask something from you three."

"You three? There are more than three people inside this place right now."

"Three people that I mean are my little junior Rei, Senior Pat, and Ryukalin Clan Head Kevin."

Kevin looked at the phone. "What do you want?"

"I wish you three can become the bodyguards of the representatives once they arrive in this city."
