Chapter 85: Peaceful And Hopeful

.......

You're just that different so you can only imagine how I feel when you're away when I don't feel the peace... the peace I feel when you're around.

I do things that give me some time of peace such as leading the family and manipulating everything I can or just killing random people but it's always short-lived."

She lifted her head looking into his eyes clinging to him even tighter, hope left her eyes as she looks at her new source of one, and Yasuo just listened not interrupting nor feeling like doing so.

"You are my new goal so you can only imagine how it feels when a goal is soo beyond reach and that's the feeling you give me, like at some point of time if you just feel like it, you'll disappear without anything holding you back.

I can only feel at peace when you're within my reach... Am I getting crazier or getting saner? can you tell me? After all, you're the one who made me like this... who gave me life but all the things that come with it as well."

Yasuo didn't stop caressing her hair through all of that, through all of the varying emotions appearing on her face as he let her let all of her pent-up emotions.

He seemed thoughtful hearing all of that, 'Was I careless? No, I just had important things to do and time won't wait for me as the wheel will continue moving whether I like it or not. I can give more time to other things when everything is done but.'

A frown surfaced on his face as he comprehended the feelings he feels seeing her like this. 'But it certainly doesn't feel good seeing her like this, and I don't like that so what can I do to solve the problem? a solution satisfactory to me.'

Yasuo kissed her gently then looked into her eyes, "I don't know if you're getting crazier or saner, that's something for you to know but I'm ok with either as long as it's you and... I'm sorry... for being so irresponsible and I'll try to mak.."

He wasn't able to finish what he is saying as she shook her head and brought her finger up shushing him, "I'm just letting my feelings out... I don't want you to change anything if you don't feel like it, I just want to be close to you all the time."

Yasuo just smiled hugging her even tighter, "You don't have to be so uncertain if there is something you don't like then just let me know. I'm at fault here so as I wanted to say, I'll make it up to you."

Morena didn't react hearing that as she just buried her face on his chest hiding whatever expression she's making from one's eye but not Yasuo's as he gently kissed her head, "For now just relax until its time."

All the sound heard from her is a small mumble as she dozed off.

After thinking about things for a bit, Yasuo activated ability of his as his eyes turned completely white. He closed his eyes just relaxing and watching a particular scene through his Aeroeye threads until Morena's underlines are done doing the job.

Suddenly a small portal appeared in front of them only to enlarge becoming bigger enough for them to go through as he gently woke Morena up, "mhm ok."

Yasuo picked her up in his hand then gently washed her face waking her up from her stupor.

She asked still clinging to him, "Did I sleep for long?", "Just for about two hours... Also, Your underlines finished taking the headquarters back and finished cleaning everything so let's go." Morena nodded hearing that.

They walked hand in hand through the portal appearing in Morena's office as Yasuo warned.

"I'll stay here for a while so this might not be a problem but I'll remind you anyway if you have any plan regarding the Kakin king then cancel for now because while I don't know how strong he is I know his ability is too dangerous and don't target any of the princes as that'll bring no benefit whatsoever."

Morena narrowed her eyes hearing that as she sent a message through her phone, she then asked wondering, "What's his ability?"

Yasuo shook his head explaining, "I don't know exactly what it is but I know it has to be dangerous because of a certain information I have, a particular tradition in the Kakin's royal family in which only the strongest survive to become the king and Natsubi achieved that soo be cautious."

Morena took his words of caution to the heart as she notices her phone vibrating for a second, she raised her brows looking at a message she received.

"Prince Tserriednich wants to meet me and he wants to do so now, he is already on the way,"

Yasuo sat down on the chair with Morena taking a seat on his lap as he started stroking his earring with a thoughtful expression.

"He is quite smart so he should already know that once you took over, he became just a source of money to us without any returns for him. We'll see if we can work out a deal since his political support should help a little bit."

They waited for a while until a door-knocking sound was heard, "Enter!"

And so three people entered the room with Orilin being in the lead with a respectful smile on his face seeing her while ignoring how Morena is sitting on the man's lap in contrast to Cashew who still finds someone like Morena having a lover strange while Luini just didn't care about such a thing, "Boss!" each respectfully bowed.

Morena with a smile on her face as she complimented, "Good Job, I'm glad I could leave the rest to you all without any worries."

Orilin bowed again, "I'm glad to be useful and this is my new family so being dependable is the least I can do."

Luini arched his brows hearing what Orilin said though he didn't care much as he said, "Nah, Thank you.. it was fun," While Cashew just nodded with a smile on her face.

Morena smiled though there is something in that smile only she knew as she contemplated something.

'Should I just kill him? Luini is just too much of a variable, he is loyal now but once he doesn't get the chaos he wants he will probably rebel, or am I being too cautious?

No, Yasuo should be much more cautious than me... well, I'll decide what to do when he finishes creating his ability.'

Suddenly she heard Yasuo whispering to her ear gently, "You can do as you see fit." That brought a gentle smile to her face as she nodded.

She ignored the confused glances from the three and instead inquired, "Luini, how are the casualties and the results?"

Luini took a step to the front and started recounting what he already memorized.

"We only lost 26 underlines with two of them being Nen users and half of those, we lost against the Cha-R family's boss and as you already know, we were successful. The remaining people we lost against the Xi-Yu family when taking our territory back.

Though they didn't offer much resistance with most of them retreating once the news reaches their family so we were able to take back most of our territory and are still the biggest family in size."

Cashew started explaining directly after he finished talking, "We still have contact with one of our spies in their family but there is still no news on whether prince Luzurus will drop his support or not but I think the family is falling apart and the Xi-Yu family are already taking the chance to expand as well.

They also announced that the code of conduct is void from hereon." Morena nodded and looked at Orilin signaling for him to start.

"Due to their boss's death, the shares of their legal business fell significantly so I took the chance and used a significant portion of our funds to take over it and we started the recruitment process as you ordered," Orillin got the signal as he reported calmly.

Morena nodded and ordered, "Start the forceful expansion and make use of all the new recruits.

Also, Orilin you will choose three loyal underlines and send them to me for the awakening process.

Cashew, Prince Tserriednich will be here in a while so welcome him and guide him here. Also, let everyone know, if you see anyone from the Xi-Yu family then kill, it will be an all-out war from now so keep that in mind... Go we'll have a meeting later,"

Once everyone left Morena asked something she's been wondering about, "When I became the boss I had a meeting with Tserriednich to start a new contract and couldn't help but notice something, he isn't a Nen user, why is that?"
