Chapter 241 - KILL ORDER (2/2)

For some reason, this new expression scared him even more.

”It is good that you are aware of the threat.” He laughed hollowly.

Hu Lei smiled wider. ”Of course, I am aware.” She paused. ”Now that you are here, I will not need to strain my brain and resources dealing with these evil people.”

Kaito stepped back. ”What, what do you mean?”

”Well, you do owe me a lot of favours. It would be foolish of me not to cash in one now that you have delivered yourself to my doorstep. Don't you think?”

He wondered why he had volunteered to come when he and his former classmates had been discussing how to help out Hu Lei. They were worried that she could not handle it because she had probably not been in touch with them through their usual channels for a while.

He had thought that they would have a grand time reliving their childhood days, playing Naruto-type games. Who would have known that he had been sacrificing himself to a demon?

Still, he was happy to know that she did not treat him like an outsider. It seemed like she still valued their ties from childhood.

”What do you want me to do?” He asked in mock resignation.

She felt satisfied with this senior brother.

”I will let you know when I come up with a solid plan. Meanwhile, tell me everything that you know about the organisation that is hunting me.”

Kaito frowned. ”Actually, I have not managed to find out much about them. That group is buried in layers of shell companies. I can't find the actual organisation. But it is a group with a huge international reach. They have made requests from mercenaries on every continent.”

”I wanted to officially take on the task of capturing you to discourage others, but I thought it would have looked suspicious because it is outwardly a very normal-looking mission which would not interest my famous brotherhood. I decided to come to Supreme City in a low-key but obvious way so that people will ȧssume that I might be interested in the task.”

He looked at Hu Lei as if he was waiting for praise, but the woman was simply disappointed that she could not get anything useful from him.

”I already know all that. What else do you know?” She looked at him keenly.

Kaito felt that Hu Lei was too hard to please. Luckily, he knew something else.

”There is a kill order on your husband. It was sent out a while ago through the old methods. It seems that someone is afraid of his hacking skills. I think it's because he is the main obstacle standing between you and that organisation. What do you think?”

Hu Lei was no longer listening. Her eyes had become fierce and scary. She had always been afraid that her past life would affect Zhong Feng, and now, her greatest fear had become reality.

Kaito realised that he probably should have delivered that piece of news a little more gently. He felt a little regretful.

”Don't worry too much. I followed him for a couple of days before coming here, and he has a lot of strong protectors. He has not been hurt at all in spite of all the attempts on his life.” He gave Hu Lei a thumbs up.

Hu Lei turned, scaled the wall and jumped back onto the Huo property.

Kaito felt that his junior sister was annoyed at him, but he could not figure out why.
