"There is nothing for you both to talk about. And nothing I did to her, we just simply love each other," Shun quoted without wavering.
"I don't believe it until I haven't heard personally from Ca.s.sie's mouth. Probably you did something on her."
"Hub? And what that would be? Tricks? Love potion? Do you really believe in those?" Shun laughs.
"No. I don't need to trick her and my intention is true. And so, I won't let you stick around."
"But she is in danger! Do you really think I could leave now I know someone wants to kill her?"
"Then what is your reason that you made a sudden decision of investing in UKG company? Are you out of your mind?" Shun question him.
"Of course I've thought about it too! The better I am close to that person, the easier I could watch their moves," Levi is reasonings to him.
Shun stared at Levi intently. He could tell this young Montfort is serious but, "You don't know anything. You better not get in my way. What have you done is you only put Ca.s.sandra in more danger," he a.s.serted seriously.
Levi stays silent for a moment then leans on the sofa. "Seems like, you know a lot of things about her. However, I won't just sit around nor listens to you."
"Everything is under in my control and within in my grasp, your sudden appearance would only ruin everything I've been planned all these years!"
"What are you talking about? Have you known already this long that someone wanted her dead? Isn't this is about her inheritance? What did you know in all of this?" Levi asked seriously.
He wanted to know everything about Ca.s.sie. Why he has a feeling that this man has known Ca.s.sie longer than him? If he would look back, he is a friend of Mr. Bastien and Ca.s.sie been receiving a lesson from him. Is it possible that because of their meetings in the Academy? Is it where they meet, right? Does Ca.s.sie had already a crush with him back then? Isn't he and Ca.s.sie been already a good friend for 2 years before this man met Ca.s.sie? And he really knew her real name. Why and who really is this guy? Ah... so many questions he wanted to know. Levi thoughts.
Meanwhile, Shun did not answer him yet. They both in deep thoughts. He is weighing things whether to tell him everything or just left him clueless. However, he suspected that this guy would only intervene in all what he'd plan already and possible it will reveal to Julius Kang. He needs to avoid that to happen. He's been very careful all along.
Mr. Pete watching the two men who are now in deep thoughts. He believes, these men are taking precautions seriously towards each other. He clears his throat.
It was Shun who speaks first. "How if, I will tell you everything? However, I want to make an agreement. In exchange, you have to go back to France and don't interfere with all my plans. Above all, stay from Ca.s.sandra away, not this time until I haven't finished dealing about Julius Kang."
"Who are you? Why you are so confident and why you knew these all about her? What really are you to her? Why you are helping her? You talk about love, how possible and real that you did this all because you love her?" Levi
"How about you? How real that you truly love her? You just met in Paris, isn't it?" Shun question him back.
"I do love her. I don't need to explain to you how much." Levi answer without blinking.
"Same to me, I don't need to explain or make a reason why I am doing this to her and why I am protecting her with all my power and wealth."
"I wanted to talk to her. If do you think I would give up because you said it, you are wrong. Even if Ca.s.sie would say that she will really go to marry you, I would still not give up. If you promise her to help find her brother, then I will convince her that it is not loved."
Shun laughs. His office filled with his laughter. "How about you? Isn't you who are trying on helping her to find her brother so that she will look at you as the Hero?"
Levi did not reply. He stayed silent. He loves her that's why he is helping her. What's wrong with that? Levi sighed. "So what then?"
"Then, if you truly love her, you won't put her in danger."
"What are you implying now, President Crow? Do you believe that only you are could protect her and love her very much?" Levi quoted.
"Maybe truly we shared the same desires and that is her safety." Shun tried to stay calm.
The other people in that room began sweating. They were thinking that, could they be open like this towards their rival?
"Then, how if you will let me bring her to Paris? And I will keep looking for his brother. Why won't you let her find her brother to protect her?"
Shun stared at him for a moment. "That would never happen. And you will just go to waste your time in looking for someone who doesn't want to be found." Shun wearing a long face. This guy is persistent, he is getting impatient.
"Then, convince me why I should trust you? And why I should entrust you to protect Ca.s.sie?" Levi looks Shun straight on the eyes.
"I have every right... not because of her parents requesting me to do so... but I am doing this for myself. I will repeat because I love her and I won't let anyone take her away from me again."
"Again?" Levi is now getting confused by this conversation. And request by Ca.s.sie's parents?
"You said I should convince you... before that, don't forget about our agreement. I want you to go back to Paris, alone."
"It will depend, yes. But if am not convinced, I will bring her with me." Levi demanded.
"She will go nowhere."
"How if I would do everything to convince her to come with me?"
Shun glared at him. His face hardened and giving him sharp gazes.
"Have you aware of the cursed our family had? The Entangled Lives of the Five Families?" Shun unexpectedly brings up about these folk tales by their elders or anyone in the family which was just laughed by the new generations.
