Chapter 45 Chapter 45- 100 Hitmen And a Sleeper

Kai sat there, motionless, as he looked at the sleeping animal in his lap. The way the creature heaved up and down was weirdly calming especially with its incredibly beautiful appearance.

Time pa.s.sed slowly until the clock hit 9:00 pm which made Kai finally look up. He had to eat and then go to sleep since it was getting very late.

Coincidentally, the cat also opened its wide, sea-like eyes as it yawned and stretched its body before it stood up and looked at him.

"Meow!!"

"Are you… hungry?" He asked.

"Meow!" The cat replied as if it was approving of what he said.

'I don't have cat food.' Pondering for a second, the boy put the cat down on the sofa and walked toward the kitchen. A few minutes later, he came back with a plate for him and a plate for the cat.

Since he had some leftover chicken, he made some curry and he gave some of it to the cat. The latter seemed to be delighted as it jumped down and ran toward the plate before it started eating without even smelling or making sure it was eatable.

Kai looked at it for a moment before he nodded and sat down to eat. After finishing his food and washing dishes, he was about to walk to his bedroom when the door knocked.

Kai already sensed the presence of the person behind the door so he opened the door casually.

"Kaya?"

"I brought you some sweets. Let's eat them!" The woman said with a bright smile as she showed him the bag in her hand.

"..." Without thinking much, Kai opened the door and allowed her in.

"Sigh, I'm sorry for not coming today, Kai. I had to stay at wor- Hm?" As Kaya was talking, her eyes fell on the adorable animal laying on the sofa.

"A cat? You adopted a cat, Kai?" She asked confusedly as she approached the cat curiously. However, the moment she tried to touch the cat, the latter glared at her sharply and hissed.

Its fangs protruded out as it got ready to scratch Kaya at any given moment. This reaction bewildered Kaya as she didn't do anything that could scare the cat. In fact, Kaya was very good with animals since her aura is friendly around them.

"Why do you hate me, little thing? Did I do anything to anger you?" Kaya asked gently as she tried to coax the cat. However, that only seemed to anger the cat even more as it retreated back.

"I didn't… adopt it. It followed me from outside."

Kai, who noticed the odd behavior of the animal, didn't say much and sat down at the table again. Kaya shrugged and didn't try to pet the cat again and instead sat in front of Kai.

"I got you your favorite sweets! Look!" Kaya said as she pulled out Tiramisu from the bag. The quality was in no way worse than the one tasted.

"Thanks," Kai said calmly as he took a bite of the sweets and nodded his head. At the same time, the cat meowed adorably and jumped on his lap before it sat down and started looking at him silently.

"Oh, it likes you. You charming scoundrel! Didn't you have enough to steal your big sister's heart?~" Kaya asked jokingly but with a seductive tone that could madden the sanest of people.

Immediately, the cat looked at Kaya and glared angrily.

'Huh? Did this cat… understand?' Kaya blinked confusedly as she made eye contact with it. Sparks flew between the two.

Meanwhile, Kai continued eating the Tiramisu with a serene expression. It was clear that he was enjoying it even at first glance. However, at that moment, a little bit of cream stuck to the corner of his mouth.

"Kai, you have some cream on your lip. How about I lic-" Before Kaya could say anything, the cat had suddenly stood up and closed on Kai's face before it licked the cream gently. Then, it stared at Kai for a few more seconds as if it was admiring his face.

It almost looked like a human in love looking at their soul mate. This alone shocked Kaya to no extent.

'This… cat… Is it… Don't tell me?!' Kaya's face almost crumbled completely as it realized oddly.

"Meow!!" Closing its eyes with a satisfied expression, the animal turned around and gave Kaya a glance. The blonde woman could almost swear that she saw a smirk on the cat's face as if it was taunting her.

Clenching her fists, Kaya didn't consider this animal as a pet anymore… It was an enemy!!

"K-Kai… This cat, does it not have an owner?"

"Doesn't seem so." He replied as he continued eating.

"So it's a dirty stray cat? What if it's dirty or sick? It could carry the illness to you." Kaya reasoned as she hid a smirk.

"Meow!!" The cat meowed angrily as it rubbed its face against Kai's stomach and then rested again on his lap.

"... I will get it checked soon." He said.

"Wait, you want to keep it?!"

"It doesn't seem to hate me. I want… to experience owning a pet." He said as he tapped the animal on the head rigidly to which the creature purred happily.

'd.a.m.n it! This little s.h.i.t got into his heart!! How did it even do this in a few hours?!! What's your secret, cat?!' Kaya screamed as she didn't know whether to laugh or cry over this.

It was at that moment that Kaya realized something. Her only rival in love had now suddenly turned into two. A girl and a cat.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the Charlamagne family, a historic moment was occurring. For the first time in the family's history, tens of people wearing masks stood in a huge conference hall. Their auras were cold and the atmosphere was suffocating, to say the least.

Everyone had a subtle killing intent around them as if they were warning each other not to dare and do anything funny or a deadly battle will occur. If it wasn't for the money they got paid for this mission, these hitmen will never stand in the same place willingly.

In the guild, it was rare for a hitman to make an amicable relationship with another hitman unless they were both going to benefit from it in the short term. Other than that, everyone is each other's enemy. The only things stopping the Guild members from brutally murdering each other are the rules, and the rules are absolute.

*Rule 0 of the Guild: Rules are absolute and any breaking of the rules means death.*

At that moment, a man walked inside with a very angry expression on his face. His eyes had huge eyebags under them.

The last week was quite torturing for Trevor who was dreaming of destroying the Lavine family day and night. The preparations took a long time, way longer than Trevor wanted. But, finally, the time has come.

"Gentlemen, thank you all for coming here tonight!" He said as he stood before everyone, giving them a cold glance.

"As you may know, I paid a huge amount of money to be able to gather you all and the goal is simple… Crush the Lavine family into rubble!"

The hitmen didn't say much as they waited for him to continue. A show of clear professionalism.

"I want that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Markus' head in my hand! I want to murder his wife, his children, and every single person affiliated with that s.h.i.tty family! Do you hear me?!" He yelled. "I want their land to be soaked in their blood! I don't ask anything from you to except brutally murder them in the worst way possible! Every method is allowed! Every weapon is also allowed!!"

The bloodl.u.s.t that the hitmen hid finally erupted, covering the whole place. The atmosphere grew even heavier and threatened the break the walls from its sheer thickness.

"Zzzzzz…." At that moment, the loud sound of snoring caught everyone's attention, mainly Trevor whose face turned even angrier.

"Gabi, you piece of s.h.i.t, how are you asleep at this hour?!" He shouted as he glared at the man, sprawled on a chair as he slept soundly, unbothered by the heavy atmosphere. Although he had a disheveled appearance, the man named Gbai wasn't bad-looking by any means. He had a rather cute face that invoked the feeling of familiarity in people. His hair was rather grey and he had a weird tattoo around his neck like a collar.

"Hmm, what? Where?" At that moment, the man's eyes opened slightly as he looked around with a dazed expression.

"It's time to go and kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds that murdered your brother in cold blood! How are you sleeping?!"

Finally, Gabi's eyes turned to look at Trevor, his father. Looking at them, Trevor flinched slightly. Of all the people he met in his life, only a handful had that same look. That empty, emotionless look that could send a chill down the spine. It was the same look someone like Kai had albeit more wild and brutish lacking any refined elegance to it.

Then, the man parted his lips and said in a very lazy tone.

"Who cares?"
