三个女人的秘密工作生活

With Gilbert gone, Kayn doesn\'t have to worry anymore about being threatened by Maria again.

"I know what you just did," Maria stares intensely at Kayn. She wasn\'t a fool not to realize what the latter intended from the start. "You think that by removing Gilbert, I will have nothing to use against you? But you\'re wrong, I can still inform the Assembly of Freedom of your presence in our territory,"

"You won\'t do that," Kayn smiles confidently. "Because once you do, I\'ll also reveal to them that you initiated an alliance with us instead of directly killing us,"

"They will never believe you,"

"Yes, they won\'t, but they\'ll get suspicious of you,"

"This is really unfair!" Maria protested. "You can charm me whenever you want, yet I can\'t do anything to you!"

"You are level 50!"

"I guess so…" Maria felt slightly comforted knowing that her level is higher than Kayn\'s.

"Anyways, why don\'t we call it a day?" Kayn can\'t help suggesting.

"I\'ll be staying here," Maria waves her hand, immediately storing all the furniture in the living room and replacing it with her queen-size bed.

Kayn was rendered speechless.

"I just want to be sure that you are safe," Maria explained herself. "And also, I don\'t want you playing tricks on me. If I take my eyes off you for even a minute, I am afraid that there\'s a high chance you\'ll cook up some scheme or something,"

"I understand," Kayn decided to give up persuading her to leave his room. Anyways, it\'s much better this way. Albeit a bit complicated as he feels secure and at the same time threatened by Maria\'s presence.

"Go and do whatever you want to do, I\'ll just go to sleep," Maria let out a yawn before laying on her bed and closing her eyes.

Kayn can\'t help but admire how laidback Maria is right now despite knowing the threat that he can control her whenever he wants.

"I guess she really doesn\'t intent on doing something bad to me," Kayn muttered as he walks to his room.

"Let\'s call it a day,"

…..

The next day, Kayn woke up still feeling tired. That\'s because he was having trouble sleeping straight as every sound he hears outside instantly makes him fully alert and cautious, thinking that Maria is trying to kill him.

"Good morning!" Maria quickly greeted Kayn the moment he walks out of his bedroom. "How was your sleep?"

"It was more like a nap," Kayn yawned loudly while stretching his arms.

"I made coffee," Maria passed a cup to Kayn.

"Thank you," Kayn accepted the coffee and immediately took a sip. As if a jolt of lightning hit his entire body, his exhausted feeling instantly disappeared. "That\'s nice!"

"Glad that you like it," Maria smiles. "Drink that up quickly because we still have a lot of things to do today,"

"I have a lot of things to do?" Kayn raised his eyebrows, confused.

"Starting today, you will follow me wherever I go. You will absolutely not leave my sight and you should not go as far as one kilometer away from me,"

"That\'s…" Kayn felt hesitant about it.

"This is for your own good and mine," Maria started explaining.

"Okay, okay, I\'ll go along with you," Kayn quickly cut Maria off from talking any further as he doesn\'t want to hear more about it. He can\'t help but feel tired once again. "I\'ll brew more coffee before we go,"

"You\'ll definitely need more than that," Maria went to the dining table and started eating her breakfast.

"You cooked your meal?"

"I won\'t eat anything you cook until we officially become allies,"

"Suit yourself," Kayn started cooking his meal.

After doing their respective morning routines, both Kayn and Maria left the Freedom City and return to the Daze Village.

Apparently, a single day wasn\'t enough to take care of every single problem in the Daze Village. There was still more remaining. Luckily though, they were just small matters.

With the assistance of Maria\'s men and Kayn\'s help occasionally, they were able to sort everything out before the end of the afternoon.

"Thank you," Maria express her appreciation.

"Not a problem," Kayn nodded.

The only reason why he decided to help Maria was because the matters were mostly related to the construction of the Daze Village and repairing the damages that he had caused. This was perfect as he could get a better understanding of the defenses of the territory.

Moreover, he had actually purposely added loopholes to his suggestions in the defense which he is hoping to take advantage of during the siege of the Daze Village in the future.

"Now, do you understand why I brought you with me?" Maria suddenly asked.

"Yes," Kayn felt grateful. He initially thought that Maria was being way too cautious in fear that he would do something to her. But during the time he spent with her the entire morning, he realized that she simply wanted him to gather information about the Daze Village.

The information he had gathered would no doubt prove crucial in the future for the Green Horn City\'s side.

"Next, we will go to the Freedom City to report my progress," Maria stood up from her chair.

"Would I still be following along with you?"

"You will," Maria informed. "However, this time, you will have to stick very closely to me. You have to stay five meters around me and will absolutely remain silent throughout the entire journey. I don\'t want you using your slick tongue because almost all higher-ups recognize you that way,"

"As a matter of fact, Wesley started suspecting your identity yesterday. If it wasn\'t because I lied that I found you in the Daze Village by coincidence, he would have pursued the matter further,"

"It seems like I\'ve caused you trouble," Kayn felt slightly apologetic about it. If he had known that the Assembly of Freedom have become very sensitive to his manner of speaking, he would have just cooked the meal, made them taste it, and be done with it.

"That\'s why this time I want you to be quiet, especially around Wesley,"

"Alright," It\'s quite evident to him now that Wesley has learned and studied a lot about him after the last time.

With that being said, both Kayn and Maria left the Daze Village and return to the Freedom City.
