Under The Veil of Night Chapter 409 Merion Clan Sudden Attack

Ryukalin Clan's Side
"How's the situation so far, Neo?" Mike asked as he joined the Ryukalin Clan's area. On his way to this place, he stopped to fight with those prisoners who roamed on the Tamari Clan's territory. Many of them were still out in the open because the clan was struggling to fight with a lot of people at once.
It was already night time, but neither one of them had the time to rest. There were a lot of things that they needed to clean up.
Neo glanced up. "Nothing much, you're pretty late in coming here, Mike."
"I'm wrapping things up on the way," Mike shrugged.
From the mood that Mike exuded, it seemed that this man was quite happy. Neo could guess that something good must have happened, but he was not sure what that could be.
"Do you see Kanae?" Mike recalled something.
"She returns back to her mansion. The camera on the street captures her image running back home," Neo answered with ease. This video was already shown to Kevin secretly before, thus allowing that young man to be at ease. If he didn't know what had happened with Kanae, there was no doubt that Kevin wouldn't be able to calm down.
"I see that Senior Patrick has returned, how's Boss's mood?"
"He's pretty irritated with his uncle," Neo grinned. It was rare to see Kevin became annoyed with someone so badly that this young man changed his expression. For this job, Patrick was clearly the best one. He could definitely annoy someone who didn't usually change his expression at all.
"If he wants to, he can even annoy the entire clan."
"He already does that in the past for countless times."
"I wonder what the clan will be like if he's the one chosen as the clan head."
Neo froze when he heard that. Anything but that would be for the best. He wouldn't be able to stand seeing this man annoy every single person in the clan when he became the clan head. There was no doubt that he was capable of turning the entire clan upside down.
Suddenly, the alarm on his laptop rang. Neo quickly turned his head to see the problem and his expression turned grim.
"Neo, that's the emergency alarm, right?" Mike asked cautiously.
"Yes, I need to see Boss," Neo stood up and carried his laptop to the place where Kevin and Patrick stood. They were currently reviewing the loss and all from the battle against the prisoners.
Patrick was the first to notice Neo. "Kevin, your right hand is here."
"Neo, what is it?" Kevin didn't even spare a glance as he was entirely focused on the paper in front of him.
"Boss, bad news, the Merion Clan suddenly launches an attack towards the border between our clans. He's involving the civilians and destroying our post along with Tamari Clan's post," Neo answered.
Kevin frowned. He had found Merion Clan rather suspicious because of their uncooperative nature for the past several months. Never did he think that this clan would dare to break the agreement between the four big clans.
"Neo, send my order to the Old Man and Ryan. Tell them to clean up the matter."
"Yes, Boss."
Neo quickly walked out while holding his phone, calling his father.
"Yo, little brat, are you missing your father?" The old man and also Neo's father, asked with happy tone.
Neo rolled his eyes. "It's not that, Old Man. Boss sends his order for you and Mr. Ryan to clean up the Merion Clan's members that come into the territory as fast as possible."
"I get it, where's the location?"
"It's near the border of the three clans."
"I see that, see you brat," Old Man turned off the communication device as he looked towards his best friend by his side. "Ryan, there's a task for us in the other area."
"Oh?" Ryan raised his metal bat. His weapon was one of the most unique one in the clan because he preferred to use metal bat rather than a sword or any other weapon. It was blunt, so it was unable to kill his opponent directly. Normally, it shouldn't be able to land enough damage, but in Ryan hand, it turned into a deadly weapon. This weapon of his also made it easy to recognize him.
"Some pests from Merion Clan makes their way towards us," Old Man answered. "Can you still fight?"
"Who do you think you're talking to? Of course, I'm all gear to fight," Ryan laughed.
The two old men made their way to the border. Their position was already rather close to the place, making it rather easy for them to reach the area. Upon seeing the chaos, they quickly went into fighting mode.
"Ryan, cover my back."
"That's my line, Old Man."
The two of them moved towards the enemies at the same time. Using his extraordinary strength, Old Man pushed the enemies back quickly. His sheer strength alone was enough to send fear deep into the enemies' body. Just like a bulldozer, he crushed every enemy on the straight line.
On the other hand, Ryan was fighting with the enemies who attacked from the side. His metal bat was swung rapidly, not allowing anyone to get closer to him. He saw a man moved from the side, so he quickly moved. His metal bat made its way to the man's head, stopping his movement completely.
PENG! BAM!
"They're rather weak," Old Man commented. He kicked the last opponent with ease. Not a single one of them proved to be a threat against them.
"That's because you're a bulldozer, Old Man. There's no way they can be a threat against someone like you," Ryan shook his head. This best friend of his was still the same as before. His strength increased once again to the level that it was impossible for ordinary people to measure.
Old Man laughed. "Fighting like this feels good. It has been some time since the last time we fight together, Ryan. My skill is going rusty if this continues."
"You don't even have any skill in the first place. You're only slamming your way towards your enemies without thinking."
"Hey, watch your words. I'm the greatest fighter in the clan right now."
"You mean the biggest tank."
Old Man shot his eyebrows up. "What about the biggest sweeper in the clan?"
"Are you taking my title now?" Ryan laughed. In the past, Old Man was called the biggest tank because this big man always moved forwards and stood at the very front. On his back, Ryan would be the one to clean up the rest of the men that Old Man didn't manage to kill. This way, the two of them became famous with the nickname of the tank and the sweeper.
"You can say so," Old Man grinned. "Anyway, I'm glad that this old bone still can move well. I'm already worried that my skill will be too rusty."
Ryan shrugged. "You always train your body every single day. How can it be rusty?"
"Who knows? I'm already quite old."
"You're correct."
Old Man stretched his body. "Our task is finished. Let's rest a bit. I'm sure the Merion Clan won't stop this easily. When the time comes, I want to fight alongside you again."
"Yeah, me too," Ryan replied slowly.
The two of them made their way to the nearby restaurant to fill their belly as they talked about old times. At the same time, they were keeping their vigilance to make sure that they still could move fast when the order came.
