197. Back to Clan 2

The fast train journey was not too long. They stopped at the transit point. Then proceed by riding the elevator built on the side of the steep cliff.

Ana can see the beautiful view of the mountain foot from the elevator box made with bulletproof glass.

Is the entire mountain and the foot of the mountain there the land of the clan?" ask Ana.

"Khouk nodded. As far as I know, so, Leader," replied Khouk.

"Is there any security across our borders?" ask Ana again. He needed the basics of knowledge about his realm.

"Yes. Surrounding the mountain is guarded by members of the clan security. eleven guard posts have been built and operated. What we went to earlier was a guard post and an examination one. There were more guards, as it became an important point and the entrance of the clan." Khouk explained it simply.

"More details, you can ask at a meeting with the clan advisors, later," he added.

Ana nodded. "Are there any clan members living at the foot of the mountain, other than the border guards?" ask Ana to know.

"none. The Klan policy was very firm. The one who did not stay with the group, was no longer a member of the clan. Except like I got an outgoing assignment. Those who leave without permission will not be allowed to return. His name has been crossed off the list of clan members!" answer Khouk.

Ana frowned. "Then what about the people who have helped me to destroy BIro's office?" ask Ana astonished.

"Some of them are my members. Some others don't. But, even though they were in which country, their soul was still the soul of the Khaan Clan. They swear allegiance to you. But still they can't come back here" Khouk said.

Ana silently listened to Khouk's explanation. He had different thoughts about the clan membership made by the advisors.

"We've arrived, Leader." Khouk told.

Ana nodded and waited for the super-high elevator to stop. When the elevator doors opened, Khouk exited first and held the elevator doors open. Ana saw the room in front of her rather dark. Did they break through the mountain wall?" thought.

His feet stepped out of the elevator. In his second step, the room suddenly brightened. Various ribbons and ornaments were hung in several places. But no one was there.

"What is this stuff?" ask Ana astonished. Khouk shook his head not knowing, the man walked beside Ana to take her to the exit.

Then they saw a welcoming team consisting of young men and women with a variety of colors of long and beautiful clothes. Among them was Nathalie who immediately ran to greet and hug him.

"You're finally back, this place is beautiful. I'm happy here. You will love it too" said the girl. Ana smiled happily at Nathalie's changing attitude.

"Where's dad?" asked Ana, because she did not see her father there.

"Today's my blood-washing schedule. You can meet him later" replied Nathalie. Ana nodded in understanding.

"Leader."

Someone's voice distracts Ana from Nathalie. A white-haired man was as long as a boat, standing before him. Ana looked at Khouk, and the man quickly responded.

"This is Qadan, the Chief Advisor, the Leader" Khouk said, introducing the man.

Ana nodded, and waited. He did not return his hand. And Khouk came back quickly. The man advanced to Ana's front and immediately crouched down to pay his respects.

Ana stared intently at the dumbstruck Chief Advisor. The man finally regained his senses and immediately crouched down to salute and swear allegiance to him. Everyone else who came to greet, ended up doing the same.

"I'm sorry for my carelessness, Leader. We intend to bring you before all clan members and pay our respects together" he said.

"God!" Ana's reaction like that was completely unexpected by the Chief Advisor.

Khouk and Nathalie show Ana a way out. They completely ignored the man who tried to lower Ana's position.

It turned out that outside had been waiting for a lot of people to complain about it. And they immediately crouched down and took an oath of allegiance, as he walked past the line of greeters. Ana smiled and waved her hand at them.

"Are you the one who sent them all?" guess Ana on Nathalie.

"You must cherish a little of my effort" murmured Nathalie.

"Where are we going?" ask Ana again.

"Back home!" answer Nathalie.

"Didn't those advisers want to beat me at the hearing?" ask Ana jokes.

"Dad expected that. And he asked that the meeting be postponed until he finished washing the blood. He insisted on being present at the show. He's very protective of you" Nathalie said with a hint of envy.

Ana immediately hugged the girl's back to calm her down. They walked together to Ana's residence which her father had prepared in advance. Khouk followed faithfully.

"So when was the meeting planned?" ask Ana.

"Night later. The chief advisor said it was a welcoming dinner" Nathalie replied.

"But you and Dad must know that this dinner isn't going to be simple, is it?" Ana chuckles amusedly.

"Yeah, you're so good at guessing and mocking me. Try to show your cleverness to the advisors who are as rigid as the rock of the mountain!" nathalie Sudang.

"Just calm down" Ana said.

"Khouk, once you get home, you can go back to your family and rest" Ana ordered.

"Thank you, Leader," nodded Khouk. His eyes look happy. Ana just smiled thinly.

After passing through a gate guarded by people in uniform. Finally they arrived at a magnificent building carved here and there.

"This is the residence of the Khaan Clan Leader" Nathalie said as she expanded her hand.

"That's grand. You guys live here, too, right?" Ana ensure.

Nathalie nodded her head. They passed two guards in front of the inner gate after the garden. They immediately squatted down and swore loyalty.

"I think I'll take you to where you can rest. Later we can talk again, after father returned from the Hospital," said Nathalie.

"okay!" Ana agrees. He's really tired. The trip was very long, and the time was very short, ahead of the dinner.

"This is your room. Everything has been provided by my father in advance. I also asked my waiter to prepare food. So don't worry. Just rest a minute."

Nathalie opens the door to Ana's super-large room and is only given a bulkhead to distinguish her designated area.

"Rest me. I'll come back and dress you up for the evening event" Nathalie bowed and resigned.

Khouk was still standing there. "Excuse me, Leader. Let me check this whole room out first."

"Do your duty. After that you can rest." Ana nodded in understanding.

"I will ask Ammo to also send Gan and your men back here" Ana said.

Khouk did not answer. He checked the whole corner, opened the window and looked outside. Ana looked in admiration at him. A responsible and experienced bodyguard.

Khouk tasted all the dishes on the table. After that he nodded. "All safe. You can rest. In a moment, my men will come in my place to take care of you" Khouk said.

"Thank you, Khouk," Ana said sincerely. He saw the man who was stepping out. Then Khouk's voice spoke at the door. Two other voices answered. Then Ana's bedroom door was closed, to give her some peace.

He tasted some food served, for the stomach. Then slammed his body on the bed. He's very tired. "Close your eyes for a moment, don't think about anything. Rilex, Anja. Everything will be fine" he murmured.
