Women's Backlash Considered Weak
Feeling Avoidant
The longer he lived in the city of Castora, Kenard was getting used to doing the habits of routine that he did first. Gradually he remembered his true identity, who he was and where he came from.
Every day he started taking care of the safety of the factory and in and out of the goods that would be supplied to the mafia group.
Together with the gang of black horses that always start behind, making it easier for Kenard to remember the past.
"Billy, have you checked the items that will be sent to Veron City?" kenard asked along with Billy.
"Look down, it's all done." Billy answered proudly.
"Check the goods well, because the customer this time a little chatty. He'll return all the items if there's just one defective."
They continued walking into the Black Horses headquarters. Kenard checked the command paper from Xavia.
"What's this?" he asked while watching the graffiti on it.
"That's our series of beverage sales strategies, Kenard. Miss Xavia wants you to check to correct if it's wrong."
For a few minutes, Kenard helped check Xavia's hand graffiti. More and more days he is getting used to the work within the scope of the black horses gang.
He also began to remember one by one the gang members who had been with him all this time. Including the moments of togetherness with Xavia, all this time he was always with the girl wherever she went.

After deciding to return to the city, Kenard now begins to familiarize himself with the responsibilities of his past.
He gradually returned to training testing the dexterity of his body.
Aided by the other members, he returned to training hard martial arts. Without wearing top clothes just wearing pants alone he moved one hand to turn his opponent's hand backwards, then kicked the back knee to make a fall.
He's been getting used to gang members. They applauded when they saw Kenard with the prowess he had in terms of betting.
"Your return is a puzzle that's been missing all along. We are now complete, ready to face the opponent."
"You always help me, to make me remember my true self." Kenard held Shane's shoulder.
Kenard was delighted to be standing between them now. He did not expect to have missed many things that have been missed in the past two years.
Without them noticing, Xavia had been standing by watching them practice. Now the woman is approaching.
"I hope next time there are no more, traitors in this group. If there is, I will make sure, he who dares will get a heavy punishment than Elliot. The previous example is evidence, so that no one dares to violate, but if it is still done just look. Even those who betray will beg to end their lives because they cannot accept torture" Xavia warned with a stern face.
"True Miss Xavia. We must not let our guard down a little, and who tries to betray us will fight."
Somehow Kenard's expression changed upon Xavia's arrival. She was beside him at this moment feeling awkward. And it felt bad to stand next to the young miss of the Linn family.
Kenard quietly retreated a few steps avoiding Xavia as the woman spoke to the members.
Xavia frowned as she glanced sideways. Look at Kenard who's been away from him. He did not get discouraged from retreating until he stood on equal footing with the man.
Kenard avoided walking away from the training area. Kenard didn't even look at her one bit. Before moving away, Xavia immediately blocked Kenard's hand while asking.
"Where do you want to go, Kenard? Aren't we still talking about the steps we're going to take forward?" queried.
"There's something I need to finish, Xavia. Sorry, if you have to leave this place because suddenly remember, if there are items that must pass through sorting." Kenard releases Xavia's hand and leaves.
Hearing Xavia's rising tone, Kenard stopped his steps. He looked back at the woman.
"You seem to be wrong, I don't want to avoid you, but there are things that should be done quickly. You said yourself that work has to be professional, right?"
Kenard was seen hesitating in response to Xavia.
Although curious and want to ask again other things. Xavia nodded in understanding, she did not want to suppress him, and with
gently asked Kenard to treat her calmly.
"really. You're not wrong. It would be nice, you don't try to dodge, you better stay calm next to me. It's the thing you did first, do you remember?"
Kenard. "All right, I'll do as you please."
"I just wanted to say
to you, it's okay if you can't remember it." Xavian.
showing his sad expression.
"Next time, don't ever dodge me again."
"I'm sorry, Xavia." Kenard suddenly felt confused and hugged Xavia awkwardly.
He patted the woman on the back in doubt.
Xavia did not realize before that this would happen. In his silence he
smiling, realizing that Kenard is still in love with her
preceding.
"I just don't like seeing you like that. Do not repeat it again" said Xavia.
Kenard smiled. Xavia immediately hugged the man tightly as if she did not want to escape. "In these two years, my life has been so empty after your departure, Kenard. Even I always busy myself to forget about things about you, because honestly, sleep is not good, you are always in a dream. I really missed you in two years, Kenard."
"Now that I'm back, you're at least relieved, aren't you?" ask Kenard.
Xavia nodded in response. "I'm so happy to see you back, and just now in training, you really showed me you were Kenard who disappeared two years ago. You're back completely, '" he said.
She hugged tightly drowning her face in Kenard's chest. It did not matter if the people were members of the black horses behind them were paying attention. Let everyone know that the two have been close all this time.
Kenard is silent, rubbing Xavia's back, he knows that Xavia liked him in the past.
"From now on, you'll be there to help me deal with the difficulties I used to face again, Kenard."
Kenard nodded as much as he could, pretending to know everything.
Even though they were the same person, he was secretly unhappy
hence. Kenard gradually took off his embrace. Put up a standing distance between Xavia.
