Chapter 978 I'm Not Losing Anyone

“One of the Kings, one of the Kings, one of the Kings.” The phrase Sir Ken repeated to himself several times because it was unbelievable to him.

The situation just didn’t make sense. Many people may have considered Sir Ken a fool, but he would never have been foolish enough to offend one of the Kings.

They held the most power in the country, and one of the leading countries in Altered development, practically making the Kings the strongest people in the world.

Everyone knew never to upset the Kings, which was why such a title was referred to them in the first place—a title that referred to the royalty of the past, who could do as they wished and whose word was law to the rest.

It was why it was so hard for him to believe the situation. Why would one of the Kings be visiting Centerfield? In many people's eyes, the White Rose were against everything the Kings stood for.

Even if they were to travel, why would they do so on a public train, and why would someone strong enough to be considered royalty stand up for a stranger they didn’t know?

Lastly, if someone had just mentioned that they were with one of the Kings, they would just let it go.

However, as Sir Ken’s hand dropped to his side and his weak grip dropped the phone on the floor, the only thing that could explain the current situation of everyone backing away was if it really was one of the Kings.

“I told you,” Kai said. “There are other ways of solving things now. Just a few calls, and I was able to get in contact with the Cluster Gang leader. There were a few things I needed to do to prove to them who we were, but it didn’t take long for them to comply.”

“Who are you guys?” Sir Ken asked. “I mean... I apologize for what happened. I hope you can forgive me, and I can help show my support. Which group are you from? The One Gang, Lupis, the Bree Family?”

Sir Ken was practically already on his knees, groveling in front of the others.

That was when the three of them finally walked forward. The wig was getting hot on his head, so he decided to take it off.

Seeing the green hair, a name sprang to Sir Ken’s mind.

“Well, it’s a lesson that we can all learn from, that now we aren’t the same as before, and there’s a good chance we can avoid trouble in other ways, right?” Kai said with a smile.

“Excuse me, while I have to go find the bathroom.”

———

Back at the station, Sir Ken saw the train leaving, and he finally lifted his head as he watched it head away. On the ground, there was a large sweat mark that had been left behind.

“I’m alive... I’m alive, they really left me alone!” Sir Ken said, and finally stood up.

When he did, he came to the realization, though, that he might have just lost everything.

“The Cluster Gang... they won’t help me out anymore. They’ll be too scared of the Howlers. Damn it, damn this situation, how did this happen!”

Sir Ken dragged his eyelids, and when he turned around, he could see a hooded figure right in front of him. A stinging pain could be felt in Sir Ken’s stomach, and as he took a step away, he could see his own blood soaking through his clothing.

Right after, the hooded man slashed the knife right at Sir Ken’s neck, drawing blood and causing him to fall right to the floor.

The hooded man then put his phone to the side of his head.

“It’s done.”

At the same time, in the train cabin, inside one of the toilet cubicles, a certain individual was on the phone as well.

“Good, we can’t leave any loose ends to bite us in the back. I’m not losing anyone again.”
