Chapter 112 What did you do?!!
Outside the school, a lot of students were flocking out as the day's activities were over. Amongst them were Kan, Ellie, Mendy and the new girl, Keyla.
But if one observed carefully, they could see that only the outcast gangs walked together and Keyla was left to walk by herself.
Although the whole time, Keyla was being watched over by Kan and the others not just because they were trying to protect her but because some of them didn't trust her.
"What is your plan Kan?" Ellie finally asked Kan, her words blunt and her stares cutting through kan's, showing no signs that she was joking around.
Kan could see that apart from the burning jealousy in her eyes, she also appeared to be stressed in some other areas, particularly in areas that he didn't think at such a pivotal point, her mind would even run course to.
"Listen, you asked me to join your gang for a reason right? Just put aside what we have and let's make gang business separate from personal business. You are really acting strange," Kan said frankly to Ellie.
He understood that she was being protective of what she felt was hers. However, Kan himself didn't fully buy into the idea that he was anybody's.
As a matter of fact, as the day's went by, he found himself looking to fulfill his oath to the lust god.
There were several beautiful women in this world and he wanted to have as many as he could to himself while treating them in the best possible way.
His interest was now putting his past and regrets behind and forging ahead, a new future with adventures in it, mostly the ones on bed but who really cared to begin with?
"You don't have a plan, do you?" Mendy chimed into the matter to say. At that moment, they were already far away from the school gates were the influx of students leaving the school were enormous. Still, they maintained a significant distance from Keyla who was up ahead.
The reason was so as not to put her in anymore danger with the Ebony Kings. Kan felt that since he didn't know why she was being harassed the way she was by her boyfriend, Ralph, it only made sense that taking all the necessary precautions which might seem like overkill was the wisest option.
"I do actually. I think if we are going to get full access into that gang, we'd need an inside man. But first, I believe winning her trust is key. Which is why I also like the fact that she's ahead now because I want to ask you something, Ellie" Kan said, turning to face Ellie as they walked with a serious tone.
"I think we should invite her to join the gang," Kan said to Ellie.
"I'm sorry?" Ellie asked, pretending not to have heard the first time so Kan repeated himself yet again.
"I think she would make a great addition. I mean, we haven't figured out her magic yet but still, if you observed, she's all about the team. And that kind of loyalty, even with my plan of swallowing up smaller gangs to become our own, I doubt we can get that kind of loyalty!!" Kan argued his case strongly.
"Exactly, Kan. Key word there is loyalty!!" Ellie berated, clearly unpleased with the idea.
Mendy simply did not care and continued to walk on with his head fixed to his M-Phone.
"You don't get it do you? You don't even know Keyla!! You don't have any idea of what she can do yet you want me to accept her into my gang?" Ellie asked, the sound of it all making her giggle a bit as she found it quite annoyingly amusing.
"Your gang huh? Well I don't know what you mean by "I don't know her". I mean, we all just met her a while ago so that kind of adds up. What I'm saying however is that with the right treatment and showing her we are good people, we can win her trust and loyalty," Kan tried to convince.
Ellie didn't say a word again except make quicker steps to the front where she ended up overtaking Mendy and the brushing past Keyla's shoulder even when it appeared to most people that there was an abundance of space for her to get through.
Nonetheless, Kan took her silence as a sign of consent.
He knew she was only acting on emotions at the present and probably a bit of common sense as well. He saw reasoning from her side for wanting to distrus Keyla. But the thing was that reasoning didn't exactly apply to him in the sense that he had tools and ways of bypassing the normal.
He didn't exactly need to show or do any good will go convince Keyla to trust him. He could simply do that with his system skills that are more than capable of doing so. However, going through the natural means of introducing her and getting her to soften up was one he felt even in his absence she could integrate well with the gang and eventually, leading them all back to the plan from the start.
"We just need to find a way to make her see we are different. May be then she would trust us a bit more and understand we are only trying to help. Of course I'm aware of the risks of her being very loyal to the Ebony king's leader. Still, it's worth a shot and even if things go south, I have ways to undo them so it's no big deal!" Kan said, this message relayed to Hela.
[Yeah, I do think you are right on this one. Pheromone might make her trust you completely and even give you her life for yours, but the rest of the gang is out of the question. If you are going to bring her in like you said, you need to soften her up the right way. I'd recommend that when everything fails, you soften her up with the first touch!!] Hela added, giving Kan its own perspective.
"You think way too highly of that skill that it's become crazy to me now. I am yet to see it do anything special that the pheromone can't do. So what, if it turns people on!" Kan argued back in his head.
Just then though, a notification sound popped in his head and appearing before him was a message from a private chat in the system format.
"Hmmm, Ellie walked off but now is somehow texting me?!" Kan wondered as he saw a new message notification. However, as he opened it, he was shocked to see the profile picture of the person texting me.
"Hang on, the nurse?!" Kan asked, not quite sure how she even managed to get his information to begin with. However, as he thought along those lines, he noticed how quiet Hela had gotten and seeing that the system had a track record of doing quite a few silly things, his mind quickly shifted to a possibility.
