"Kayden, you should eat more..." Anna, the young girl pouted.
"It's okay Anna, I have eaten some of it before coming back." Kayden patted his sister head.
"Kayden, someone is standing outside." Anna pointed at the door direction.
"Hmm?" Kayden was shocked when he turned his back and saw Dante. But Dante asked him to calm down, saying that he just wants to have some talk. Kayden is 18, 3 years older than Dante but they have the same height because of family genetic. The men from Salvatore Family are always been much taller and robust than others. Anna is 16 years old, which is also Kayden younger sister.
The sun is slowly setting down, enclosing the house in darkness. Kayden lighted up a candle, but both of the siblings still need to endure the cold because they don't have any good blankets or coats to use. Dante and the siblings had talked and discussed many things in this short period.
Kayden was actually a former underground fighter. He would often go to the ring to earned some quick money. But ever since he accidently punched his opponent to death, he had stopped going there. Killing people when fighting in underground is considered normal since they had signed a death contract before sparring. But Kayden still feels guilty of it.
Her sister Anna was previously an assistant designer in a small merchant company, but the designer was jealous of her ability and slandered Anna that she stole her works. Anna was from the slum so they believed the designer and fired Anna on that day. Since that day, no company wants to hire Anna because of her bad rumors.
Kayden had registered as a hunter after he left the underground. He's currently [Level 2] hunter. He was quite a talented fighter for his age. But during a mission, he was betrayed by his companion and accidentally hurts his [Mana Core]. It's not serious, but he still needs some time to recover back his ability. (Mana core is something that every hunter and magician need to form inside their body during their newbie days, it was needed to perform skills or magics that require mana.)
Kayden that can't move aggressively can only steal the breads for these past few days. He could easily knock out the bakery store owner but he still has some conscience. Dante is good in identifying truth and lies, he knows both of the siblings didn't lie a single word about their story.
Dante asked Anna if she have any drawings for her designs. Anna went to her room and brought out a bunch of papers and gives it to Dante. It was Anna latest designs that she had never let anyone see before. Dante looked at the cloths, handhelds and accessories drawings and thinks deeply for almost a half hour. He then looked at the siblings while smiling.
"Hmm...I have a very interesting propose for both of you."
Dante wants Kayden to be his temporary bodyguard. Although Kayden can't use his mana in this short period, he was still a great fighter. As for Anna, he'd like to set up a new high-end fashion design company with her.
When the siblings heard it, they were quite moved. The siblings naturally would accept it, they didn't even know if they could survive in this slum with their current conditions.
"To easier Kayden works as my bodyguard, why don't both of you move to my place. It would also be safer for Anna, since it's not good for a girl to live alone in the slum." Dante then brought the siblings to his house. The siblings were shocked with mouth agape when they arrived and saw his bungalow.
