Chapter 23: what ciel doesn't know

The Vongola are such a bunch of interesting men don't you think?" Lau commented lightly at the damage before them.

Before them, the street that used to be a portion of the slums, looked like a scene of war. Nothing was left except rubble. Ciel got up from the ground after inspecting a charred block.

"The Vongola?" Ciel asked.

"An Italian Mafia Family. They came here a few hours ago to ask a few things from me," Lau bent to look at a hole in a wall. "Hmmn... would you look at this Earl, its in the shape of a man's fist!"

"What did they ask for?" Ciel asked, ignoring his discovery.

"That I should not sell my goods in their territory." Lau looked a bit saddened by this. "Oh well, at least they were nicer than some Families. I'll tell you, some would just love to kill you on the spot!"

"They did nothing else?" Ciel couldn't quite believe that a Mafia Family would come all the way to London for a such a thing.

"Hmmn..." Lau thought for a moment. "Do you think they did anything else Ran-Mao?" he asked her. She shook her head.

"Sebastian, go and search the area. They might still be here," he murmured to his butler but Lau can hear it.

"That won't do Earl," he shook his head. "You won't be able to track them. They left long ago, they have no business with you and you with them. This," he gestured to the destroyed buildings. "was caused when Ran-Mao followed them on my orders. They sensed her and this was the result."

"They destroyed property, they should be taken down." was Ciel's reason.

"You can't do that Earl, not when two of them are Nobles and one a french officer. They have connections and power from both this world and the underworld. They have many powerful allies as well."

"Are you trying to scare me? It's not working." Ciel glared at him, impatient.

"I wasn't even trying," Lau replied cheerfully. "They didn't wreck havoc for their pleasure you know, they had children with them. Being the overprotective family they are, they tried to hide them but my Ran-Mao managed to see them."

"Children?" his mind suddenly showed him the face of a brunette that bumped into him a few hours ago. He was saying things that he couldn't understand as he was in a conversation with his servant. "What did she see?"

"Hmmn... only one actually. He had big doe-like brown eyes, a bit smaller than your usual eleven year-old and had big fluffy brown hair!" he gestured with his hands. "It was sticking out like spikes, just like his father."

Ciel and Sebastian exchanged glances. "Are they the same person?" he asked him.

"The description sounds right and there is no one else in England that could have that hairstyle," Sebastian answered.

Ciel pursed his lips. "Whatever, let's go Sebastian. Dealing with such a low Family is a waste of my time," he turned and walked away.

A smile was on Sebastian's lips as he followed his master but not before thanking him and Ran-Mao.

As they left, a chuckle escaped Lau's lips. "A low Family? Oh Earl. if only you knew the truth."
