Volume 10 Chapter 15: Let The Child Handle It 

Long Lihua turned to the two, “I’ll bring you three to your rooms.” The three quickly followed after her. 

“Sorry about my mother; she’s just a little aloof.”

“It’s fine. It would be weird that she wasn’t.” Keith laughed. Who wouldn’t be cautious of someone you just met? The group continued to walk before they were brought over.

“This will be your dwelling.”

“You’re giving us an entire house?” Keith blinked. What was before them was an entire courthouse.

“This is a guesthouse.” Long Lihua waved. Each one got their own room. Krystal and Carolyn were on the second, while Keith took one on the first floor. It was quite a nice room around here. That was when he entered the bed. So interesting. 

It was those old-school beds that were made from hard materials. There was this cool and refreshing feeling as well. What did they make this bed out of? He was able to get used to it instantly. As he sat there, a thought occurred; what would happen next in these few days? Things were going to get dicey going forward. 

As Keith continued staring at the ceiling, a knock was on his door. 

“Keith, the meals are ready.”

“Understood,” Keith nodded as he headed to the dining room. He knelt down while Krystal and Carolyn did the same. That was when he noticed someone sitting beside Long Lihua.

“HaoHao, how about you greet them. They’re my classmate,” Long Lihua nudged the little boy. However, that only caused the boy to hold onto his sister’s clothes even more. 

“Hao,” The boy mumbled.

“My name is Keith,” “Carolyn,” “Krystal.” The three greeted the boy. But he quickly hid behind her again and tried to be quiet. Long Lihua glanced at Keith, and he nodded. 

“Let’s eat now,”

The amount of food that was brought out was something. There was rice, steamed fish, and some boiled greens. Most of them were blanched and also boiled. But it was definitely something Keith preferred. 

“How delicious,” Carolyn muttered. This was the first time she had eaten something delicious that was not from Keith’s hand. 

“Indeed.” Steaming and boiling were better with these ingredients. It was definitely on the gentler side, and it was savory and delicious. The only problem was the rice, which was like bullets. But everything else was fine like this. 

“But your cooking is good as well,” Long Lihua reminded. Long Aotian tilted his head, “You know how to cook, Sir Keith?”

“Mmhmm, it’s one of the things that I like to do,” Keith smiled.

Zhu Liqin didn’t say much. But her expression was quite cold as she continued to eat. The meal went by for some time.

While that happened over there, the six elders stared at one another.

“Are we really going to let that child do so?” Long Huizhong’s expression was quite something as he questioned. 

That was when the other elders shrugged, “What else can we do about this? The ancestor did send him over to do so.”

“But he’s just a child. What if he ruins it and makes the entire situation even worse?” That was something Long Huizhong didn’t want to find out. The situation was already dire; to have it even more was asking for the city to be leveled.

“I feel like the child does have what it takes,” An elder from the Kazemori side stated.

“Are you serious?”

“Did you see how he was talking back to us? I kinda like that.” One elder muttered. It took guts for him to talk back to them like so. Not only that,

“He could also handle the pressure we all exerted.” Long Xiaowen muttered. He was surprised that a child was able to handle that. Even Ayaka and Long Lihua buckled when faced with their might. The only one who didn’t was Keith. Unmoved and unwavering, the man continued to stare dead at them.

“He was definitely prepared to fight all of us at once.” The others were trying to ease the situation, but Keith was the only one prepared to take them out. It was quite a peculiar sight. 

“How about we let him deal with it,” Long Xiaowen suggested. But that only caused Long Huizhong to frown, “Are you kidding me? Why are you letting a child do so?”

“Why are you so insistent on not having him do so?” Long Xiaowen retorted.

“Huh?”

“He obtained Cadmus’s guarantee. Not only that, it seemed both the girls trusted him as well. So why are you this adamant about him not being there?” hearing all this, the other elders tilted their heads at him as well. This was something odd about this.

“This is because this is all about our city’s life. If that kid botches it up, then we’re all screwed. It’s taking all of us together to contain it.” One of the reasons why they weren’t going out was because if they did, they were afraid of what those monsters would do. They could definitely level half of the city if they wanted. That was something he didn’t want to happen.

“I’m not letting half-pint like him ruin it.” Keith was definitely going to do so.

“Let’s take it to a vote then. Those in favor of having the child prove his worth?”

“And those not in favor?”

The vote was 4 to 2 in favor of Keith’s dealing with the situation. 

“…” Long Huizhong frowned. However, nothing could be done since he had lost this vote.
