Chapter 314: United Asias Situation (1/2)
Later that day, Kai returned to his house first to change his clothes before going to Ayaka's house.
And as expected, he got a warm reception from Kudo Yoshihiro, her father. He had fun during the dinner, and it seemed when they built this place again, they had emphasized the family even more.
Maybe it was due to the loss of their grandfather that the family must spare time to have dinner together. The dinner also had nothing like a cold and silent atmosphere, but they still joked around, paying attention to their manner.
Kai smiled at this. Although it looked unsightly, he just liked this type of family more because it was the only thing that united the family.
After dinner, Kudo Yoshihiro stared at him with a mysterious gaze. It looked like he had trouble, but he also tried to look through Kai.
”Is there anything wrong, Uncle?” Kai asked.
”Nothing. I just realized that you are calling me Uncle, not sir like a certain someone. It means I win, right?” He slyly looked away.
”…” Kai was dumbfounded when he talked about it. He never put a thought into this, so he didn't know what to say regarding this matter.
Because of the hardship they endured in the past, Kai had grown accustomed to call him uncle. And just like him, Nathan had been a strict grandfather in the past, so he became comfortable in calling him Sir. Of course, he called Michael with Uncle, but if Yoshihiro bragged about this to Nathan, there might be some frictions. It was a joke fight, but if the occasion wasn't right, the situation might turn ugly.
”There is nothing wrong with that, right?” Kai decided to play it safe. ”Besides, there is something that I want to tell you.”
”What is it?” Yoshihiro narrowed his eyes.
”I have gotten news that there is a possibility that Sir Kudo Taro is still alive.”
Clank.
Clank.
Cough Cough.
Ayaka and her mother dropped the glasses in their hands while Yoshihiro choked because of the news.
”I haven't confirmed the news yet, but due to the scale of the previous Kudo Group, there is a chance that they are trying to control it to fight against the Southern Family. If I am not wrong, the one that attacked him was that Ikeda Kenzo, right? I once clashed with him, and he let me go easily.”
”Is that true?” Ayaka slammed the table and rose from her seat. Kudo Chiyo also looked at him with disbelief.
”Ikeda Kenzo is the current second-in-command in their operation, so I can't see why he is letting my father go. I mean, I am happy that my father is still alive, but why?” Kudo Yoshihiro stuttered. He could give a better response to this, but his mind became a mess.
”I am not sure about that. There is a chance that he is staying inside the Ikeda Family. If that is the case, his current treatment shouldn't be too bad, and we will be able to rescue him easier in the future. If he is in the Katsuragi Family, we need to rescue him first before solving that family. Either way, I can't do anything until I graduate.” Kai let out a long sigh.
Kudo Yoshihiro felt bad and moved at the same time. Kai's consideration and help would be much appreciated, but he also didn't know whether he was qualified to receive his help. Since the past, he had been burdening him with many problems to the point he almost died.
He never expected that the guy in front of him that once he looked down actually became the national boyfriend. Well, it was only a rumor inside the base, saying that Kai's prestige and skills were enough to shake any family.
It wasn't exaggerating because Kai had the help of the entire base itself and the president. The president already ordered that whoever touched him would be chased by the entire base. And even a position such as minister wouldn't be enough to escape from this.
Yoshihiro stared at Kai for a minute before nodding his head. ”Thank you for everything you have done for us.”
”It's nothing.” Kai waved his hand as if it was not a big deal.
”Since you have brought good news for us, I shall share all the information I have got from our spies that have been staying there this whole time.” He took a deep breath and began his explanation. ”As you already know, we have recalled the people we have left during that perilous situation.
”Some of them decided to stay and kept sending information about what happened in United Asia. Due to this, we have gotten some useful information.
”The first will be the current strength of each family. The leader of the entire Kyushu is the Southern Family. This has been known for at least a decade, so let's not argue about this. However, Hokkaido is a bit special.
