Chapter 188 Chapter 188- Concert Invitation

Kai and Eva returned to the apartement and sat down on the couch with the capsule in front of them.

"We can't really do much with this without the proper equipment, can we?"

Kai nodded his head. Eva was indeed right. Without an actual lab where they could see the components of the capsule and how it affects individuals, they can basically only stare at it.

Kai thought about it for a while. He doesn't know of any labs that he could use. The only one he knew about before is now basically rubble.

'This is rather annoying…' He thought to himself as he looked up.

"For now, let's keep the capsule aside. We won't be able to do anything unless we get ourselves a lab." He said as he stood up and walked to the kitchen to make some drinks.

"Sigh, well, we're back to point zero… For now." Eva murmured as she rested her back on the couch. She really felt tired for some reason.

As she was like that, she heard her phone ringing so she picked it up and looked at the caller.

"Huh? What does he want now?" She murmured to herself as she picked up the call.

"It's been a while, Muri. What's with the sudden call?"

Muri was Eva's agent when she was still a model in the business. He was a trustworthy person and one of Eva's very few friends. His wife was also a close friend of Eva's mother so it was safe to say that he knows Eva very well.

"Hey, Eva, it's been a while!" Muri replied with an excited tone. He considered Eva like his daughter and even when he was her agent, he treated her nicely and didn't try to overwhelm her schedule.

"How have you been, girl? You didn't even take the time to call me! It has been almost a year!"" He asked with a joking tone.

"I'm sorry, Muri! I was really busy the past few months. I couldn't find the time." She apologized.

"Ah, no worries, no worries. Ehem, so Eva, I have something to ask."

"If it's about coming back from retirement, we already talked about it," Eva said. "I'm not coming back."

Although Eva did like her job as a model, she already found something way better to do and that was to dedicate her life to Kai. And even if she did want to come back, she had too many things going on that she wouldn't have any time to do any work.

"No, no. Ehem, although I do want you to reconsider that. I'm not here to talk about it. Instead, I have a gift for you."

"A gift?"

"Yeah, a gift. Remember that girl Claire Redsky. The genius that appeared around 10 years ago and then vanished in a few months?"

"Yeah, I do. What about her?" Eva asked.

She vaguely remembers the girl. In fact, Eva did meet her at a party once and the only impression she had of the girl was that she was very quiet and mysterious but also very beautiful.

The two briefly talked, just for courtesy before going their ways and never meeting again after that. She still liked her music, though.

"Well, I don't know if you heard or not but she's making her comeback in a few days. Her concert will be held in the Infamous Music Palace."

"Oh? Interesting." Eva blinked a few times.

Music Palace was a whole resort that was built on an island north of A-Country and it was by far the biggest music theatre in the world. It had a 1 million capacity and a luxurious 5-star hotel near the theatre where people could stay if there was more than one concert that would happen.

'To have her comeback on the Music Palace. She's truly a genius, isn't she?' Eva thought to herself.

"So, you know, tickets were sold out in a few minutes. But, I was able to get my hands on a few, VIP tickets. Hahaha, don't ask me how. Anyway, I thought I might ask if you want to attend the concert?"

"Oh, really?" Eva asked as her eyes lit with excitement. She liked the idea. After what happened a few days ago and the stress from everything, Eva thought that her beloved deserved a vacation.

'Well, I will ask him first. I don't want to take a decision without his opinion.' She thought to herself.

"Well, let me think about it. I will come back to you with an answer tomorrow morning."

"Great! Consider this my birthday present to you… Although a little bit early."

"Hehe, consider your gift received."

"Eva?" Kai murmured her name when he saw her on the phone.

"Oh? Who's that with you? Your father? Pa.s.s the phone to him, I want to say hi."

"Oh, no no. I'm in cla.s.s right now." She said with an awkward giggle. "Now, I need to go. See you soon."

"Hey, Eva wa-"

*BEEP*

Cutting the call, Eva exhaled a sigh before she looked at Kai who was waiting for her with a cup of lemonade.

"Thank you."

"Who was it?"

"My ex-manager. He wanted to give me tickets to the concert of a famous singer."

"Famous singer?" Kai asked as he sipped on the cup.

"Yes, she's been on a hiatus for years now… Almost 10 years. Now she decided to come back."

Kai's movements halted as he slowly put the cup down and looked at Eva with squinted eyes for a few seconds.

"Is something wrong?" Eva asked confusedly.

"Tell me one thing… What's the name of that girl?"

"Claire Redsky. She has no artistic name."

"..." Kai's face frowned for a second before he looked away and asked. "Is she also blind? Wearing a red handkerchief on her eyes?"

"Oh? Yeah. How did you know?" Eva asked. "Have you seen her before?"

She was rather surprised that Kai knew of a singer. He didn't like the type to listen to music or follow mainstream media for that matter so the fact that he knew who she was was rather bizarre.

As for Kai, he simply clenched his fists slightly before he sighed.

'So that's where you were hiding?' He thought to himself as he tried to suppress his cold aura not to alert Eva.

After all these years of searching and not finding a single clue as to where she was. Kai thought he wouldn't be able to pinpoint where Claire was and yet somehow, by pure coincidence, he ended up finding her in the place he least expected… The world of music.

"You said you got tickets for the event?" Kai asked.

"Yeah. I was going to ask you: Do you want to go?"

Looking at Eva who seemed to be secretly antic.i.p.ating an answer. Kai's eyes shone with complicated emotions before he nodded his head. "Yeah, I might need to go."

Hearing his response, Eva's smile widened as she jumped on him, hugging his face as the two fell on the couch.

"Yay!! A vacation with my darling!" She said happily.

Meanwhile, Kai was contemplating a different matter. How is he going to deal with this matter?
