Kael was back with his family. This time they went to a business gala, where Lloyd was invited to give a presentation to potential investors over his project. The project that Lloyd had planned was the creation of a low budget housing apartment that was not only comfortable but focuses on access. Easy to access transportation, easy to move about.

Kael was wearing a black tailcoat where as his dad wore a black suit to match with Ren. His mother and Jenny wore blue dresses that complimented each other well. Patriarch Webster, Patriarch Flare including Mister Summers were present for this. This was not a planned meeting, Kael made it clear that if anyone wants to invest in this project. It will be something that they need to show interest in and not due to Kael is Lloyd's son to get on his good side.

At the gala, Kael was standing with Blake who watched his father's presentation. It earned a lot of nods from the many investors that were present. Where Lloyd had shown the transportation including busses, subway stations, even the new monorail transit systems. There was even a special route that was being designed to bring the people from the housing apartment to the airport or port.

Blake and Kael did not say much to each other, she just seemed to prefer staying in his company. It was as if Kael was a deterrent from the many men that wanted to get to know her. Most of them are just there for Blake due to her financial stability and her beauty which is the full package. Kael was fine with it,Blake just held his hand as they sat down.

"Sorry, Kael. Might need your help with this. They don't seem to understand I don't want to get to know them better." Blake said, this was the first time he had seen Blake be so emotionally drained.

"It's fine Blake. I don't mind being your plus one if you need it. Besides, if they spend time being busy dealing with me. I doubt they won't have time to talk to you." Blake smiled, then she squeezed Kael's hand. Leaning to his shoulder. Where Kael touched his coat that phased through his hands, placing it over Blake's shoulders.

"There's a room for you to take a break nearby. Best if we head there so you can rest." Kael said, Blake nodded to him as Kael helped her on her feet.

"Thanks, Kael. I'm sorry." Kael helped Blake to the break room, it was meant for guests who needed a break from the atmosphere. There were water bottles in the room. Blake needed to take her rest, Kael waited inside the room. Tying a blindfold to his eyes as Kael went into a dream like state.

Inside he was standing to see his mirror.The Avatar of Destruction, Lee Myers. They stood on the lake, the lake was deep yet they did not fall into it. Kael readied Baihua then watching Lee ready Baihua. They charged at each other, upon making contact. A whirlpool appeared from below, great winds were eminating from their sword strikes. Kael needed to do this, to see how much his stance and posture was off.

A piercing attack from Lee, Kael ducked to dodge it. A counter slash to the right arm, then charging Lee away with his shoulder.That helped to push Lee back for a moment. Kael then let go of Baihua, this time drawing Ice Reaper. Lee did the same as they both chased each other down, swinging their scythes. The scythes clashed, sparks eminating from the sheer contact as they both try to steer their blades off course.

Kael kicked the Lee's scythe rod, then punching the neck. Following it up with swinging the scythe ot Lee's head. Lee's head was cut off from it, Kael took a moment to think. He returned back to reality. Taking off his blindfold, he turned to see Blake who was still asleep and seeing Mister Summers who was with her.

Kael left without saying a word to Mister Summers, seeing Patriarchs Flare and Webster getting along was good. Then seeing his father meeting with many investors. Ren was enjoying food with Jenny while his mother was happily talking to the other women in the gala. Kael felt a surge of bloodlust coming from the service elevator, he decided to go take a look. Hearing clicks of sorts.

The door opened where Kael could see them wielding firearms in their hand. Their eyes met with Kael who gave them a smirk. Vanishing from their senses then reappearing inside the service elevator.

"This is bad night, for you lot to cause trouble." Kael said as the elevator doors shut themselves. Their screams were not heard by the people outside. Seconds later, Kael was done with the slaughter. Fixed his ribbon, he had a bit of blood by his fingers and his cheeks. He managed to wipe them off and even got rid of the scent.

Stepping out where he could see Tony was with his men.

"Sorry, seems like our security got a bit lax."

"It's fine. Seems like some people are getting a tad bit more aggressive. Send me the details later." Kael said to Tony, while Tony's men were feeling the shivers from what Kael had done. Tony was ice cold as he stepped into the lift.

"If you can't stomach it. Then stay outside and make sure no one gets in. Just be glad it wasn't our asses on the chopping block." Tony spoke to his men. This was just another day in the office for Tony and it was a gruesome sight but work is work.

Kael headed back to the table where Patriarch Flare had given him a card.

"This is a Platinum Card for all of the Grand Blue Hotel. I suggest you take your family members there. We've had our Adepts prepared and since I've been informed of a breach. I apologize for the issues." Patriarch Flare said with a bit of concern.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

"It's fine. We are not perfect. Do your best." Kael said as he walked to his family, inviting them to celebrate the success at the Grand Blue.

"Kael, the Grand Blue is expensive. And I don't think we can afford that." Lloyd said to his son only to see Kael smile back at him.

"It's fine, dad." Kael said as he took the driver seat of their car. His father sitting in the passenger seat, Kael could see a disembodied head floating in front of his car. It was staring at Kael showing its tongue, then Kael pointed his finger gun and said 'Bang'. The head vanished as Kael drove the car to the Grand Blue.

Arriving at the Grand Blue, Kael showed the card to the Grand Blue. The front desk was easy, no issues as they got the VIP seat.

"Pick whatever you want. I'll handle it later." Kael said as they all enjoyed their meals together. Kael was helping Ren with his steak, then cracking the crab for Jenny. Just your typical, overly caring big brother stuff. They celebrated Lloyd's success.

"Kael, how did you even get the card?"

"I just started working with some good people. Some opportunities worked out. It was just pure coincidence." Kael said.

Unknowingly, there was someone who was watching Kael's family.

"That's him. That's the guy that messed with me! You have to do something, big bro!"

"Oh I will Donnie. Just let your big bro handle this."

Ren followed Lloyd to the toilet. It was supposed ot be a simple walk, though what had happened? Kael heard some glasses shattering from outside, then seeing a waiter verbally bullying his younger brother.

"You brat! Don't you know how expensive these bottles are!" THe waiter slapped Ren, it left a red mark. Kael's blood was boiling bit by bit. He walked on over, stopping the hand from another slap.

"Those battles that this brat broke costs 5 thousand dollars!" The waiter shouted.

"Dad. We're done with our meal. Take my phone, press the speed dial on 1. Tell him I'm at the Grand Blue." Kael said as Lloyd went away with Ren.

"Hey come back here, I'm no-" Kael struck the waiter's jaw. The manager and the other staff including security came up.

"Why don't you tell me how much those bottles were?" Kael asked.

"It's roughly three hundred thousand dollars. For hurting my waiter's jaw.. It'll be more. Now we can do this easy. Either you kneel down, beg forgiveness. Cut off your pinky and we'll call it even. " Kael then put a cigarette to his lips.

"Just make sure you know what you're saying. Mister manager, because your waiter slapped my younger brother. Just be sure of your words." Kael's voice was an omen.

"Hah? A brat like you wants to act cocky? Don't you know that this is Patriarch Flare's property? This place is being protected by Tony. I have nothing to fear against a brat like yourself! Nobody will fuck with Patriarch Flare's family. Especially not a nobody like you." Kael smirked as he heard that.

"Just remember, you just said something as dumb as that." Kael said as he lit a cigarette. Kael stood still as time passed by, Tony came.

"Mister Tony? Why are you here?" Tony ignored the manager, walking ahead to Kael.

"Oh, these people are still alive? I thought they'd be dead by now. Don't your normally just strike first, ask questions later?" Tony asked Kael.

"I wanted to but, my family was here. I didn't want to make a big mess out of it."

"Well, Patriarch Flare is here." They turned to see Patriarch Flare with his grand daughter eyeing the manager.

"Master Kael." They greeted Kael, in that moment the manager had realized the destruction that was there.

"So the waiter slapped my brother, and the manager here. Threatened to have me cut off my pinkie. I know that the Grand Blue is one of your finer establishments, Patriarch." Kael said where Patriarch Flare was sweating bullets just from that remark.

"Do you mind if I handled them? Though I have to say, I am about to be a hypocrite. But then again, when people talk crap about my family or hurt them. I tend to lose a bit of control." Kael said as he took off his coat, where Tony offered to hold it.

"Yes, by all means. Master Kael." Kael then walked to the waiter.

"So you got a family of 5 to support. That's a shame really. If you weren't such a piece of shit. Maybe you would still be alive." Kael said, placing his hand by the waiter's shoulder. They watched how the waiter's body slowly wrinkle.

"Please! Please no! I have a brother!"

"They had a brother." Kael corrected the waiter as the body shriveled to become a dry aged corpse.

"Patriarch. I have just killed the bread winner of that family of 5. I'd like to ask you to support their education. To thank them for their services up until today." Kael said where the Patriarch nodded. The fact was unreal for the ones that just ganged up on Kael.

"Tony, can you bring this guy's entire family here?" Kael asked where Tony nodded.

"Wait! Please please don't do this!" The manager said, begging on his knees before Kael.

"You said I am a nobody. What has been said cannot be taken back. Tony, do you have the footage?" Tony showed the footage to the manager, showing how the waiter crashed into Ren and the slap. Then it showed another recording where the manager had told the waiter to do that to Ren and Lloyd.

"No mercy." Kael said as moments later, the family members of the manager were brought before Kael. Tony passed Kael another cigar, lighting it up for him. Patriarch Flare stood beside Kael as Kael readied one of his blades.

"Baihua." Kael called out for the blade to his side, then looking at the manager with his family members. He drew the blade, then he dialed the last number on the phone. Putting it on loud speaker, waiting for it to connect as Baihua remained floating while Kael rolled the sleeves of his shirt.

"Hey big bro? Did you get it settled!?" Kael slashed the head of the father first. Then Donnie heard the manager screaming.

"Damn it! Damn it! A-" Another scream as Kael slashed the mother's head. Leaving the younger two brothers remain. Slashing them both, Kael made sure it was painless but the effect was clear as the manager was bawling with his hands tied behind his back.

"So... Who was it that put you up to this?" Kael asked the manager who kept on crying.

"DOnnie... It was Donnie ch-" Kael did not let the manager finish as he sliced the manager until he was a torso. The blood painted his shirt red, his cheeks and a bit of blood on his lips.

"Better sleep with one eye open. You might start seeing things in the middle of the night Donnie." Kael said as he wiped the blood off his blades with his sleeves.

"Thank you Patriarch Flare. For the rest of them. Do what you need. Just as long as they remember to not piss me off. Tony, about Cindy, Marc and that Donnie guy. Did they settle the debt with you?" Tony nodded.

"Cindy was only halfway with her payment. Marc is at a quarter and Donnie... Well Donnie's part of the Chang family. The Chang family are rich but that's about it. They have mercenaries and they may be trying to start something since the guys at the gala were theirs." Tony answered.

"it's fine, Tony. I'll handle it." Kael said as he grabbed his coat and walked out of the hotel.
