Under The Veil of Night

"Sis, you’re not helping much lately," Laura complained when she saw that her sister was sitting comfortably on the couch. It was apparent that Kanae barely paid any heed to the other matter and simply watched television.

Kanae looked back. "There’s no school, so I’m just doing my work from here."

Her work actually consisted of managing a lot of businesses that she got from the Souhon Clan. In addition, she helped Jason with his business too, but only from the shadow. As she was working behind the scenes, she stayed at home most of the time, making her look more similar to a lazy bumpkin.

"You should just help me out in the company, Sis."

"You can do them by yourself," Kanae chuckled. "I’m not that knowledgeable about sweets too. It’s better to leave them to you, or I might destroy what you already have."

Laura pouted. She didn’t know why, but it seemed as if Kanae was distancing herself from the Nali Family. Considering that Kanae didn’t have any relation with the Nali Family anymore made it rather normal, but Laura couldn’t shake the feeling that her sister was planning something.

"What do you watch today?" Laura took the seat by Kanae’s side.

"It’s about the new head of Doha Family. Today, he’s making a visit to one of the companies to salvage the situation."

Because of the destruction of Doha Family, there were numerous companies that moved back from any deal with them. This caused a lot of economic loss to the family and at the same time, allowing their enemies to take advantage. So far, their lost were already far beyond normal loss.

Laura looked at the screen. Her brows creased when she saw the familiar face. "Isn’t that Teacher Charlie?"

The person who was standing right in front of the people was indeed their previous teacher, Teacher Charlie. His disposition seemed to change drastically from the time he was a mere teacher, but his way of talking and appearance didn’t change at all. It was easy for his former students to recognize him.

Kanae nodded her head calmly. "Teacher Charlie full name is Charlie Doha. He was previously the second young master of the Doha Family."

Laura’s eyes widened in surprise. She had to admit that she didn’t expect this development at all. She knew that Teacher Charlie was a bit stuck up in rules and extremely annoying, but he was also very knowledgeable about the matter of the city’s history. At the same time, he was quite stingy in giving the scores to his students.

"How do you know about this, Sis?"

Kanae tilted her head. "Isn’t it obvious? Aside from those who’re raised inside a big family, there’s no one who would blindly stick to the rules like an idiot. In this city, only the big families would educate their children so strictly."

Considering what Kanae said, Laura recalled their past. Although they were not raised in the strict manner, it was apparent that it was much more than ordinary children. Most of the people would let their children roam freely because this city simply didn’t follow many rules.

"You’re right," Laura murmured.

Kanae patted her sister’s head as she locked her gaze back to the television. Although she didn’t really like this teacher because of his stuck up views, she knew that he was also a capable man. Right now, she hoped that this man could hold on the Doha Family from their falling because it would be a great disaster if the Doha Family were to fall completely.

...

Doha Family New Residence

"Sir, here’s the new report for the business."

"Thank you, you can leave now."

"Yes, Sir."

Teacher Charlie, or Charlie Doha, was sitting behind his working table with a tired expression. He has been working for a long time lately because of his brother’s death. Even though he was supposed to be mourning, he didn’t have the time at all because work was already piling up.

During times like this, he wished for nothing but abandoning them completely as it was never his forte to manage the business. Among the three of them, only Albert possessed the ability to handle business the best. As for him, he could only do a little bit. While Taro... there was no need to mention that troublemaker who only create trouble every single day.

’Brother, why do you have to leave so early?’

Because his brother was proven to be very capable, Charlie decided to leave the family and pursued a normal life. He hid his last name and studied hard in the history of this city. He wanted to be a teacher so that he could teach more students about the history and the truth behind them.

Of course, he didn’t dare to make any provocative remark as it would spell his death. However, it didn’t stop him from telling the students some of his real perspective in discreet manner.

Right now, he was standing at the end of the spear as he knew that the Doha Family might face destruction very soon. He was not even sure that he could bring it back to its glory because of the mess that followed after his brother’s death. His brother was a very kind and capable man.

"Sir, there’s another report from A Company."

"Put it here."

His assistant put the paper on the table while Charlie took it and reviewed it once again. Seeing the unfamiliar number and all, he felt like banging his head on the table. It has been a long time since the last time he studied accountancy, making him unable to understand everything well.

’How I wish you’re here, Brother.’

He sighed deeply before looking at his table once again. There was a paper in the middle of the document. Upon seeing the paper, he frowned. Taking it out, he recognized the paper as an invitation from the government. Realizing this fact, his face paled considerably.

’Even now, you don’t have any intention of letting us go?’

His hand formed a fist as he held back his rage. They were the one who killed his brother, and now, they wanted to drag him down too. Even though they were powerful, he didn’t have the slightest intention of obeying them. He would be the world biggest idiot if he decided to follow after them.

Because of them, two of his family members disappeared, and one of them died. Why should he obey their words?

"Sir?" His assistant noticed that the man had a scary face for a moment.

Charlie raised his head and looked at his assistant with a sharp gaze. "Continue your work."

"Yes, Sir," he quickly turned around. He didn’t understand Charlie’s sudden change in behavior. It seemed rather weird for the usually composed man to be so agitated. Was the condition of the business gone down sharply?

After his assistant left, Charlie returned his gaze back to the piece of paper. It was a mere paper, but this paper alone was enough to change his fate completely.

Really, he wished for nothing more than the destruction of the government. He couldn’t bear with their tyrannical attitude anymore.
