Chapter 685: It’s Not the Time

Patrick patted Kanae's head. "You're still young with a bright future ahead, so don't try to do something dangerous."

"With great power comes great responsibility," Dean chuckled. "But it doesn't mean that you're the one who has to step forward. You're not the only person who has power in this city, Rei. Even though most of the fighters couldn't be compared with you, they're still pretty handy."

Kanae nodded her head. She moved away from Patrick's reach. "Don't treat me as a child. I'm almost 18 years old."

"There's still more than one month before your birthday," Patrick shrugged. "17 can still be considered as a child too."

"Father…"

Dean shook his head. "Why do you call him both 'Senior Pat' and 'Father'? You can just stick to one address."

"I just feel that sometimes 'Senior Pat' is more suitable," Kanae replied. There were times when they were in front of strangers, so she preferred to call him as senior. After all, in Black Street there were only a handful of people who knew that Patrick had a daughter.

Being the unmarried man he is, it was already weird enough for him to have a child. Much less when she was already at this age.

"By the way, you might want to talk with your friend," Patrick recalled something.

"Friend?"

"The police officers caught a reporter in the building not far from Lima School. He's not really a reporter because he's still a student, but he manages to film everything that happened in the school during the fight. Since he's your friend, I thought that you might want to talk with him."

Kanae pondered for a moment before she recalled Alan. The only person she knew who would dare to attempt something like that was only Alan.

"Is it Alan?"

"Yes," Patrick nodded his head. "Kevin says that you're his friend, so the police didn't touch him. They just put away the films and videos that he caught because it'll be disastrous if they know about the truth regarding the experiment."

Dean pointed to the morning newspaper that he placed on the table. Kanae peered and saw the news report regarding the fight in Lima School. It was not apparent that they were fighting monsters, but the residents were already in protest both to Ferdinand and the government.

They demanded explanation from the government for the way Ferdinand behaved.

If they added the news regarding the real experiment and the monsters that died in the school, the city would be in total chaos. No one would stay in this place even for a second longer as they would think that the government was extremely incompetent.

"I'll go talk to him," Kanae stared back at their eyes. "Where can I see him?"

"The other room," Patrick pointed to the back. "Just go straight in the hallway and soon, you'll reach his place."

"Ok."

As Kanae got out of the room, Patrick returned his eyes back to Dean. "If you have recovered, you should go and help them out."

"Are you kicking me out?"

"No, but I still think that we should do something more for the raging parents," Patrick pointed to the newspaper. Right now, the police officers and people from the Black Street were doing all they could just to hold on the line.

"We can only wait and hope for the best," Dean replied. "Even so, I have prepared some presents for Ferdinand if he is still alive."

"I see."

In the hallway, Kanae borrowed a masker from the nurse as she walked to the other room. Seeing the police officers in front of the door, she stopped before them.

"Rei from Fiore Group asking for permission to see Alan," Kanae said in a rather cold tone.

The police officers have heard that Rei might come here, so they were prepared. However, the little girl in front of them didn't match the rumor of Rei from Fiore Group that they had heard so much.

'She's really Rei?'

'So small…'

As Kanae walked into the room, she didn't realize that she had shattered the image of Rei from Fiore Group in their mind. They always thought about her as someone extraordinary, not a little girl like that. If only they knew, they would hope that they had never accepted this job.

Give me back my imagination about Rei!

Inside the room, Alan was sitting on the bed with an annoyed expression. He glanced at Kanae with an unfriendly gaze. "Why are you coming here?"

"Have you forgotten about me, Alan?"

The indifferent tone and cold voice made him recall the night when someone sneaked into his house. His body tensed up for he realized that the one before him was no other than Rei from Fiore Group, one of the most powerful fighters in this city.

Alan looked at Kanae with a confused expression. "What do you want from me?"

"Do you know why they're taking your pictures from you?"

"I know," Alan was not a stupid person. Even though he acted like a fool every single day, his intellect was not that low. The consequences of the pictures coming into the light would be instant chaos in this city.

It was already very bad with the people unable to accept that their children died in the hand of one person. They wouldn't be able to accept it if the government told them the real fact regarding powerful people who have power exceeded the norm.

No other places in the world have people like them. Only people in this city were peculiar enough to have bred those with extraordinary power. At the same time, it also induced greed for power in some of the people like Ferdinand.

"Why are you still refusing?"

"They deserve to know the truth! We have been fooled for decades without knowing that there are people like this at all. I want them to know that there are people with extraordinary power who lived among them, and, and…"

Kanae looked at the troubled Alan without changing her expression. "And what? Do you wish for them to know and destroy everything that is in this city?"

"No!" Alan shook his head. He didn't want that. He just wanted them to know the truth about the special people in this world. This way, they wouldn't have to hide their existences anymore. Right?

"You're not helping anyone with telling this truth," Kanae replied. "If you do publish them and make people see this city as the most dangerous city, it'll be exactly as what Ferdinand wants."

"What?"

"Total chaos, total destruction, nothing will be left from this city once the people at the high positions in the country hear about it. Is that what you want?"

Alan shook his head. What he wanted was to dig out the truth that the government had hid from them for years. He wanted to let everyone know about them…

"There's a reason why they're always hidden, right?"

Kanae nodded her head.

People would be unable to accept things that they didn't see as normal. It would be outside of their mind and their reaction would be rejection. Those who have the power would only be pushed back further.

Alan raised his head. "Now is not the right time. When will it be the right time?"

"I don't know," Kanae answered with honesty.

Lowering his head, Alan focused his attention to the blanket on his lap. "Will you allow me to publish after I edit the video?"

"As long as you don't show those monsters, I'm sure that they'll allow you. For further discussion, please discuss with the others."

"I see," Alan watched as Kanae walked out of the room. He opened his mouth. "Thank you very much for everything, Rei."

Waving her hand, Kanae didn't answer anymore. She turned her head to the police officers. "Call the inspector. He wants to talk."

"Yes."

Even though it was only a simple order, her words seemed irrefutable. One of the guards immediately ran to the other way to call for his superior. They didn't want to waste any time.

On the other hand, Kanae walked back to her room. She passed the middle room, where there were a lot of people passing around because there was a counter table where the nurse was stationed. Her eyes locked on the young lady who was talking at the counter.

Laura Nali.

Laura also turned her head around. Her eyes stopped at Kanae's direction as it widened.

How long since the last time they see each other? She missed the other party very much, but she didn't know what she wanted to say. What made Laura glad was the fact that the other party was fine. At least, Kanae is still alive. In Kanae's eyes, she was glad to see that Laura didn't have any wounds because she knew how weak Laura was in terms of martial arts.

The two of them smiled, but didn't greet each other. Kanae walked back to her room while Laura turned her head back to the counter.

'It's not the time yet.'

The day they reunited with warmth would be the day Kanae returned back in Nali Family with full glory.
