Hitman x Wives

Chapter 29: Chapter 29- Lavine Family (Part 1)

Chapter 29- Lavine Family (Part 1)

The train continued its journey peacefully, granted people was completely scared out of their minds over what happened. However, with a simple swipe of his hand, Kai made them forget what happened.

The mind-control was a very volatile and useful ability not only because of its sheer effectiveness but also because it doesn't leave a trace or permanent damage on the target's brain. That's why most hitmen try to learn it even if they couldn't achieve high mastery in it.

After passing the mountain chains, the view of a gigantic, metropolitan city presented itself in front of them.

The capital of D-Country, Lunaria. Being named after a legendary race of creatures that descended from the moon, this city was one of the biggest in the world and one of the most beautiful too.

Ironically, because this city never sleeps as it was lit up day and night, the moon rarely appears here. That's why many call it 'The city of the void sky'.

"Sigh, I'm back quicker than I expected," Eva murmured as she looked at the city view with a complicated gaze. "My dad is going to nag me like there is no tomorrow because I ran away." Sighing loudly, she slumped on the chair next to Kai.

The latter, who was looking outside, turned around and asked. "Is your father still in business?"

His words were mysterious and encrypted so that only Eva could understand them. The reason for that was the secret that the Lavine family hid from commoners. On the outside, they were a rich family that had countless companies under their control and a net worth in the hundreds of billions.

However, in the dark, the Lavine family was renowned as a family of extremely powerful hitmen. Every member of the clan trained to become a hitman ever since they were born which was also the reason why Eva became a hitman.

The reason for such a tradition was unknown but Kai would guess it was because hitmen have the most rooted connections in the underworld. Because they worked for no one, they were able to accept all kinds of missions, automatically expanding their connections.

That was one of the main reasons for the prosperity of Eva's family and also one of the reasons why most big shots feared the Lavine family. Well, everyone except the Charlamagne family.

"Yes, well, not as active but he still works from time to time. He says it's simply to not grow rusty with age." Eva replied plainly.

"Have you ever told him about me?"

"No. Well, he does know of your existence obviously but I never told him your identity. It's a secret that will go with me to my grave." Eva said.

"..." Kai didn't ask anything else and simply looked outside.

Finally, the train reached the station and the two got off before they walked out to the main road. Being one of the biggest cities in the world, the number of people that lived here was equally big.

The main road was bustling with life as if it was filled with ants and not humans.

As Kai was about to look for a taxi or a way for them to reach their destination, a black Maybach stopped in front of them, stunning all people around them. The car looked so expensive that even rich people would only eye it with envy.

Kai already sensed the presence inside but he kept his guard up. They weren't inside the Lavine territory yet so the chaser could be anyone around them including this person.

"Hm?" Eva raised an eyebrow as she clearly knew that Maybach. How could she not when it was hers in the first place?

The door of the Maybach opened and a man, clad in a formal attire that looked elegant and professional at the same time got out before he walked to the duo.

His eyes calmly looked at Eva as a deep respect and delight appeared in his eyes.

"Lady Eva, this one is truly glad you are safe and sound." He said as he bowed respectfully.

Eva simply nodded without saying much. She really didn't care about this servant's courtesy. However, her face darkened the next second when she noticed how he eyed Kai.

The servant noticed Kai's attire. It was clear he was a commoner through and through and he didn't even seem to take care of his appearance with his messy black hair that covered his forehead and a little bit of his eyes.

His mind immediately wondered why such a commoner was walking with his mistress. Was he hitting on her perhaps? At that moment, a disdainful look appeared in his eyes.

"Who are you and why are you standing next to Lady Eva?" He asked with clear animosity as he was ready to make the young boy leave.

Meanwhile, Kai was still looking around the city, searching for anything that could potentially be dangerous. Not even once did he acknowledge the man's presence in front of him as if he wasn't even worth a glance.

"Hey, I'm talkin-"

Instantly, the temperature around the servant dropped to an unimaginable degree and he felt a chill run down his spine. His eyes then hesitantly moved to look at his lady and he immediately flinched as his face paled.

"M-My lady…"

"Who do you think you are to insult him? Do you want to get fired? Or maybe death suits you more?" Eva said in a low, cold tone.

If one was to see her current expression, one would never link it to the bubbly, affectionate girl that she always is in front of Kai. Now, she was showing her true colors. The colors she only directs toward her enemies or people she had no particular feelings for.

'Shit! I fucked up!! I'm gonna get killed!!' The man cursed in his head.

"He is a very special guest that I brought here myself. Bow down and apologize now before I cut your head off. When we get to the house, cut one of your fingers. That's your punishment."

"I-I-I-I-I'm… I'm deeply sorry!!" Without hesitation, the servant bowed down quickly till his face was about to kiss his legs. If it was merely a finger getting cut, the servant was truly glad since that meant his life wasn't in danger.

Finally, Kai shifted his gaze to stare at the servant. But, he didn't say much before he looked at the car.

"Let's go. Time is being wasted." He said.

Immediately, the servant stood up and opened the door for them. After that, the car drove off into the distance.

Inside, the chairs were extremely comfy and wide for even 6 people to sit. However, Eva chose to be as close to Kai as possible without annoying him.

"I'm sorry for his behavior… I should've told my family that I was coming back with you." She said with a timid tone. She was truly ashamed Kai was treated this way even though Eva wanted him to be treated like a king.

"I don't mind. That's the reaction I want people to have toward me." He said in a cold tone.

If his attire and looks invoked such a reaction in the servant, it meant Kai's disguise was perfect and that was what he wanted.

As they talked, the car left the main roads and reached an extremely high-class area uptown. This section of the city was riddled with luxurious villas and extremely beautiful sceneries of the mountains in the distance.

Eventually, the car passed through the gate of a gigantic mansion and parked in the private parking filled with countless expensive cars.

When Kai and Eva left the Maybach, they were immediately welcomed by two silhouettes approaching them quickly.

"Eva!"

"Big sister!!"

The duo of a little girl and an old man, both incredibly good-looking surrounded Eva as they hugged her tightly. Eva was slightly surprised before she smiled slightly and tapped their backs.

"Why did you leave without telling me, you little rascal!" The man, presumably her father, said with a heavy tone. He was a tall man, almost as tall as Kai with a strong build and an intimidating look. However, he was now nothing more than a loving father.

"*Sob* *Sob* I-I thought big sister hated me and left!!" The little girl said in between her sobs.

"There, there. I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly. But, I had a very very important matter to deal with. It's something that I've been working on for a few years now." Eva said as she flashed Kai a very affectionate glance.

"An important matter? What do you mean?" The man asked as his eyes finally landed on the boy that has been standing on the side, watching the whole situation with a calm expression.

"Who is that boy? Why is he without?" The man's face darkened slightly as he had a bad premonition about it.

'Is he her… b-boyfriend?!'
