Landon Young entered the room where the other Elders have arrived and already seated in the round table.

"Master Young, come on in!"

"h.e.l.lo, Master Kurosaki," Landon greeted the Elder from j.a.pan Alliance.

"Our great pleasure to have you here," said by one of the Elders.

Landon takes one of the seats in the round table that belongs to him, as one of the Pillars in the Mafia a.s.sociation they called, the Elders.

The Elders was only known by the Mafia G.o.dFather, no other than.

"Stop grinning, big brother," Landon is frowning upon seeing Nicholas Crow's smirking face, the present G.o.dFather of the Mafia a.s.sociation.

"Why not? Am just astounded until now, I can hardly believe you were present today!" Nicholas completely laughs. "And who would have thought? That only my heir could make you get back into this building?" Nicholas commended.

Landon rolled his eyes. "If he hadn't involved my daughter, I have no interest in stepping back on this place!" Landon had struggled to keep himself away from the a.s.sociation. However, whatever he will do, even how he resisted, he can never avoid the reality, that he will be always a part of it.

Indeed, he is one of the Elders, the Pillars of this a.s.sociation.

"Kudos to Quinn! He did have a talent for convincing people, isn't he? Can't you see, Landon? Even you never introduced the a.s.sociation to your daughter, but still, Quinn and your daughter were fated to meet. No one imagines, that both of our heirs would take the most important roles in the a.s.sociation. The future couple!" Litany of Nicholas Crow.

"And you know that's not my dream for my daughter, big brother."

Nicholas laughs once again. "However, you can't stop what destined to happen in their life. Actually, you did a great job, Landon. The challenges you give to Quinn is a very brilliant idea! Truth is, I am much worried about that child because I know he has no interest in this entire a.s.sociation. But meeting your daughter what made him working hard to take his job well done. Everything that happens now is just a perfect measure to his capability." Nicholas continued speaking.

"Do you think so? I am just doing my part as the father. Who's parent want a complex and dangerous life for his daughter? I am working hard to grant her the life she deserves. But involving in the a.s.sociation would never make her life normal teenager like on her age."

"You had a point there anyways, we did give you an exemption because Lady Red b.u.t.terfly approves it. We cannot contradict her decision. And you can't stop the fate, Landon. Whether your daughter and Quinn met at the a.s.sociation, or meet outside of the a.s.sociation, only it means that they really meant to each other."

"Why surprising? Quinn is your heir, you would push him towards me to accepts him."

Nicholas laughs loudly. "But I just believe this is an advantage to the a.s.sociation. Quinn and your daughter, both children by the Elders is a great strength to the Pillars."

"I agreed." Seconded by the rest of the Elders who present that day.

Landon drop his mouth, did that guy talk to the Elders for getting a support like this? Even the Pillars wants the marriage between his daughter and Quinn Williams.

Well, great things that kid listens to his request. He now distant himself from Ca.s.sandra, but he was worried about his daughter. He doesn't know where he should start introducing the a.s.sociation to his daughter and if she would understand why he is doing this.

"h.e.l.lo everyone, sorry if I am late."

A woman in red clothing entered the room.

"Welcome, Lady Isabella." Everyone stood on their feet and greeted the woman who none other than, Isabella Bennett.

"Thank you all for coming today. As I could see, Master Young is present today. How honored we are. Now, let's begin!" Isabella smiled then sit to her seat.

After the Elders meeting, Landon waited for Isabella to come out from the room.

"Lady Isabella, can I have a word with you?"

"Sure, Master Young. So? What I can do for you? Is this concerning your daughter?" Isabella guessed it.

"Yes, Lady Bennett."

"I already told you, Master Landon. You cannot stop what Fate is about to happen. Destiny has written already, that is only what I can say to you over again."

"I understand, but have to be so soon?"

"It is what fate designs, so, we can't interfere all the time about what destined already. I did mention it to you before your daughter was born, isn't it?" Isabella smiled meaningfully.

"Okay. Looks like, all I have to do now is sit and watch."

"Landon, this I am certain. . . everything will be alright." Isabella walks behind Landon and whispered this.

"Then, I'll go ahead first!"

Landon bows to Isabella and watches the lady swallowing by the exit door. He sighed. After all, he can't runway from the truth, he is among the Pillars of the Mafia a.s.sociation. So his family will always be involved in this group.
