Chapter 30- Lavine Family (Part 2)

The man eyed Kai up and down with a strong look. Being the head of the Lavine family, Markus Lavine is an extremely strong man that would with his name alone send a shiver down the spines of most people in the world.

He was a monster in the underworld and even as a business tycoon with hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth under his arms, he was as close to being invincible as one could get. Any normal person would crumble under his gaze.

However, Kai didn't seem to be even that annoyed by it let alone feel pressured. Instead, he simply eyed Eva to speak so they don't waste time in stupid misunderstandings.

"Ehem! This here is a very close friend of mine, Kai Miller." She said with a smile as she approached Kai and gave him a secret wink.

Kai almost rolled his eyes at her words. Very close friend she says. However, he didn't say anything as that would only make it even weirder.

"Kai Miller? Hmm, I've never heard of him."

"B-Big brother looks gloomy!!" The little girl, Eva's sister said with a hesitant expression as she hid behind her father. Her name is Melissa.

"Don't be scared, Meli. He won't bite." Eva said with a chuckle. "Well, as I said, he isn't someone that you are aware of. Also, the reason why I brought him here concerns the matter I needed to do."

Markus looked at his daughter with a suspicious expression. He knew his daughter very well so if she was lying, he could most of the time notice it.

"He is here to cure Mother," Eva announced with a wide smile.

"..." (x3) The trio of Kai, Markus, and Melissa looked at Eva silently.

A few seconds passed before Markus sighed and rubbed his hair which was starting to turn white with age.

"Sigh, Eva, did he trick you?"

"Huh, no?"

"Big sister… is weirdly dense," Melissa said with a stupified expression.

"You do know that your mother's sickness isn't curable yet, right? Why would this unknown young man be able to heal her? Is he some kind of renowned doctor?" Markus asked as he gave Kai a cold glance.

He already had an unfavorable impression of Kai. He was sure that this boy tricked his daughter to try and use her for money or influence. This wasn't the first time someone tried to do that as the Lavine family was one of the most renowned families in the world.

'However, it's odd that Eva got tricked. She usually never entertains such absurd things especially when it concerns her mother.' Markus thought.

"Father, listen to me. I know it sounds weird but Kai will be able to heal Mother. Please, let him try. I guarantee he will be able to do it."

"Sigh, Eva… You leave out of nowhere and then come back with a shady boy and you expect me to allow him to see my sick wife? I trust you, I really do. But, I can't allow your mother to be put in danger. Her condition… is already deteriorating as we talk." A pained look flashed across Markus' eyes.

Even Melissa's eyes teared up as she buried her face into her father's thigh as she cried silently.

"Father… Meli…" Eva was completely speechless. She didn't know what to say to convince them.

'Damn it, think Eva. I must let Kai in. I must convince them. Think!' She screamed in her head as she tried to find a way to make them allow Kai inside.

At that moment, she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder which made her look back. Kai had stepped forward with a calm expression as all of this didn't concern him.

"Your right shoulder… It's injured, is it not, Mr Lavine?" He asked Markus coldly.

"....!" Hearing that Markus' eyes widened slightly.

"If I have to take a guess, you injured it during training and now you can't make a full rotation with your shoulder."

Then, Kai approached the man and continued. "Can I touch your shoulder?" He asked.

Markus was wary at first but under his daughter's hopeful eyes, he sighed and allowed Kai to touch his shoulder. The latter did so and then his eyes widened for a second before he retracted his hand again a second later.

"Try moving it." He said.

Markus was shocked. Was this young man joking? He barely touched him once and his shoulder is healed? Even the best of doctors told him it will take a few weeks before it comes back to normal.

So, with a sigh, he rotated his shoulder. That's when he realized.

'What?! There is no pain?! No, more than that. My shoulder feels sturdier than even before the injury!'

"How did you…"

"I came here with no ulterior motives. I don't care about money or fame. I'm simply doing it for myself. So, whether you want to let me inside or not is up to you. I have nothing to lose nor gain." Kai said with an apathetic tone.

He really didn't care whether Markus allowed him inside or not. Kai completely believed that people are responsible for their decisions and actions and the consequences that come with them.

"..."

"Daddy…" Melissa touched her father who seemed to be deep in thought.

After a few seconds, the man rubbed the back of his head.

"I don't know what magic you pulled off, kid. But, fine, my choices aren't that diverse anymore. If you are able to truly heal my wife, the Lavine family will be eternally grateful to you. I will be eternally grateful for you."

"I don't need your gratitude," Kai replied as he turned to look at Eva.

The latter had a dreamy expression on her face and was poring holes into Kai as if he was the sole existence in the world.

"Big sister?" Melissa murmured as she approached Eva.

"Huh? Uh, right. Thank you for believing in me, Father. I promise you that you won't regret this." She said.

"I hope so."

The group then walked inside the house from the main gate. Immediately, two rows of maids butlers welcomed them with a bow.

The house from the inside was mind-blowing. This villa was custom-made for the Lavine family which means there was nothing in this world that looked like it.

The group then went to the second floor and through the corridors of the house until they reached a particular door.

"Don't be noisy. My wife is resting." Markus said with a serious tone.

It was clear that he deeply cared for his wife from his tone alone.

Then, the door was opened, and the view of a luxurious bedroom welcomed Kai. The inside of the room was a perfect mix of elegance and simplicity.

The room was minimalistic compared to the other parts of the house.

After giving the place a glance, Kai's eyes shifted to the huge King sized bed in the middle of the room. On it, a woman could be seen sitting. She had extremely pale skin, a weak build that looked as if it was about to break any second, and eyes that completely lost their luster, probably from the sickness. Not to mention the weird, black spots that riddled her face and neck and probably extended down to her whole body.

But, beneath all of that, Kai could see that the woman was extremely beautiful at some point in her life. Her beauty didn't completely fade even with the sickness.

"Hm?" Noticing their presence, the woman looked at the door with a confused expression before her eyes widened as a wide, warm smile appeared on her face.

"Eva! My dear daughter… *Cough* *Cough* you came back." The woman said as she was about to leave her bed just to hug her daughter.

"No, Mother! Don't move!" Eva quickly rushed toward her and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry for leaving. I had to do something important."

The woman's face relaxed as she hugged her daughter back.

"Selina. Why were you trying to leave the bed? Didn't I prohibit you from that?" Markus said with a worried expression as he approached his wife.

"I'm sorry. I was too excited to see my daughter and could only try to stand up to reach for her."

"Sigh…"

As the woman named Selina talked with her family and hugged her two daughters, Kai watched from the side with a calm expression. No one knew what was going through his head.

At that moment, Selina seemed to notice his presence as she looked at him with an interested expression.

"Who is that young man? Is he your friend, Eva?"

"Yes!" Eva replied with a smile as her face lit up. Selina noticed that expression and she instantly understood what was going on.

"Oh my…" She murmured as she looked at Kai again. This time, she had a sharper look befitting that of a former hitman.

'Eva had never fallen in love before except with that Black Phantom. Who is that kid to make her love him?' She thought.

"But, now is not the time for conversations. His name is Kai and he is here to cure your sickness, Mother!" Eva said excitedly.
