Chapter 285 - A NORMAL GIRL (1/2)

After talking for a few more minutes, the crowd of people disappeared one by one after promising that they would come for the after-party.

Even though they all seemed like low-key individuals as they were quarrelled by the old man, each of them was powerful in their own right. Their presence in Supreme City would attract too much-unwanted attention.​​

Therefore, they could only wait until the most important military, political and business figures left the wedding venue before showing up for the event. Otherwise, trouble might find them.

At last, only Kaito was left in the Area 99 villa.

While he was also an important figure, possibly the most important among them, his identity and information were regulated strongly by a lot of government agencies because he was deemed too dangerous.

Not everyone could access even his photo or name.

After all, if people knew his identity, there would be a lot of public unrest.

In essence, e enjoyed the privilege of being a feared ȧssassin without the stigma of a major criminal. Of course, when he was in public, there was always at least one international government agency with their eyes on him.

As for arresting him, no one dared.

Even if by some miracle someone found some evidence, no one would still make a real move against him, except perhaps a young and foolish person like Kristian Larsen. And even then, he would probably be released immediately.

A lot of governments and major organisations considered Kaito and his Shadow Brotherhood a necessary evil in the world.

If someone arrested him, there would be certain pushback.

So, he could attend the wedding of the century without fear.

The dangerous man looked at Hu Lei in her embroidered red dress and smiled.

”My little junior sister, your beauty is enough to bring down kingdoms.” He complimented with a hand on his chin.

Hu Lei smiled with pride. She had not allowed anyone else to be involved in the creation of her dress. She had come up with the design herself. So, she was pleased with the compliment.

Moreover, she valued Kaito's praise because she felt it was honest.

She and Kaito had a good relationship because their personalities flowed together well. They had a sibling rivalry relationship. In any case, though he was annoying, he had no hidden intentions towards her.

Hu Lei turned her mind from the compliment and focused on the main issue.

”How did the investigation go? What did you find out?” She asked with anticipation.

”Yamazaki Akira seems like a normal girl. She attended school in mid-class Tokyo neighbourhoods and has worked in a couple of restaurants. Nothing eventful has happened in her life. At least, until lately.” He said.

”So, she is a real person, and you have confirmed she is related to Harriet Brown?” Hu Lei asked.

”I think there is something fishy. Based on what I found out, she was kidnapped as a child from the Yamazaki family. I presume, by Harriet Brown. But it seems that she used to live with a Helen Brown who worked as a general manager in an international company.” Kaito frowned deeper.

”There is no direct information about what happened to her after that. But based on what you have said, Helen Brown was in Antarctica for multiple years, so there is no way her life could be as normal as it seems on the surface.”
