Chapter 29: Silencing the Witness
"Nana, why do you smell a bit like garbage?" Liora asked, sniffing Nana after noticing the odor when she kissed her.
"Oh? Brother Kai put me inside a dumpster to hide earlier and told me not to make a sound," Nana answered with an innocent, cute expression as she looked at her mom.
"Kai!" Liora stepped forward and pulled Kai's ear, giving him an earful when she heard that her little princess had been wronged. "Why did you bully her like this?!"
"Ouch!" Kai was speechless and could only smile bitterly as he somewhat enjoyed this moment instead.
"Alright, stop it. He's already grown up, don't embarrass him like this." Darius said, coming to the rescue. "Besides, he must have had a good reason."
"Yeah, Mom. Brother Kai did that because he wanted to protect Nana while he was killing the bad monster outside," Nana added, nodding in agreement with her dad's words.
Hmmph!
Liora snorted and let Kai go before chatting with Nana, eager to hear what had happened while they were out.
As Nana chatted with Liora cheerfully and even told her about her brilliant ideas regarding Kai's undead subordinates, Kai went toward Uncle Liam and his family with Darius.
"It's thanks to your uncle and his son that we're safe and sound," Darius said, patting Kai's shoulder with a smile.
"Uncle Liam, Luca. Thank you for saving my parents." Kai bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude, as he was genuinely grateful to them.
