They're not worth it." Ana said.
He looked back at her—her eyes wide, hand pressed to the window.
He lowered the gun.
Who sent you? Kael asked.
I can't say.
Bam... No warning no extra words. Kael snapped his knee.
The leader groaned in pain. He stammered. The Kellers sent me. Please don't kill me.
I knew it. Ana said.
Kellers are one of the 1st class rich families like the Morrisons and Eldros.
And Kellers and Morrisons. The two families hold a deep grudge against each other. Many years back Andrew and Morgan keller used to be best of buddies. But they fell for the same girl named Natasha scramel. Who was Ana's mother. And the friendship turned into a fierce hatred.
From that day they started to try and pull one another down. Now they were business rivals as well.
Kael said to the leader. Scram. I don't wanna see your face ever again. And clear this mess as well. I don't want police coming my house and knocking my door to interrogate me. I think you know what to do. Or if not then what will happen to you.
Y-yes. Of course. Thank you for sparing my life.
The leader got up with much difficulty. He some how got into one of the car and drove off. He felt like he came back alive from hell.

Kael turned and walked back to the car.
Blood streaked down his hands. His clothes were torn at the sleeves, dust and bone fragments clinging to his boots. His expression? Calm. Dead calm.
Ana stared at him as he got in.
She was dumbstruck and didn't know what to say.
He just took down 10 hooligans like they were ants.
It was terrifying, beautiful and completely beyond anything she could ever imagine. She didn't know whether to be afraid or amazed.
Finally she stored up the courage and said in a low voice, Thank you.
It's nothing great Miss Morrison. Anyone would do the same. You guys gave me the herb which i desperately needed. So it's nothing.
Anyone would do the same?! What the fu*k?? Who else could pull something off like him? If she didn't see it with her own eyes would she ever believe it? Never. There is a limit to being modest. Isn't there!! She thought to herself.
Seeing her so frozen Kael said, Miss Morrison, are you planning on staying here for some sort of celebration or what? Shouldn't we move already?
Y-yes. She stammered and hit the accelerator.
They drove off, leaving behind a road littered with groaning bodies and shattered pride.
Soon they reached kael's home. Kael got off the car and turned toward Ana.Thank you miss Morrison.
Ana said welcome but pouted.
Can't you just call me Ana? Am i too old?
Kael was flabbergasted a bit. He had no background or power or anything. How can he address the young heiress of a high class family only by her name?
If you want that i can do that. But are you sure Miss Morrison.
Of course i am. Ana said.
Ok Ana. Thanks for the lift. See you soon. After that he started walking towards his home.
A devilish smile glinted in Ana's eyes.
She felt like she hit a jackpot.
There was more to this man than that meets the eye.
A man beating the shit out of 10 people like it's nothing can be anything but ordinary. Though she didn't know about Kael well.
But the excitement to uncover some mysteries gave her a chill.
She drove back to her house.
