Chapter 298 - AVENGE THEM (1/2)

Kaito's lips stretched into a wider smile, and his black eyes glinted with an evil light.

”I knew it the whole time. It was quite amusing to discover all your little private investigators running around like headless chickens.” He said. ​ ​

”Unfilial! How can there be such an unfilial child in the Takahashi family?” He banged his palm on the desk.

Kaito was unmoved and looked at the old man who was breathing heavily. His evil eyes became cold at the statement.

”Should I have hurried back so that you can send me to my death?” Kaito asked without his usual flippant attitude.

For the first time, the old man was speechless.

He had thought that Kaito was bluffing when he said that he knew everything. However, it seemed like it was not a bluff. He seemed to have an idea why he was here.

However, the old man was thick-skinned. After the initial shock faded, he did not display awkwardness as he pressed on. He did not think that he was pushing Kaito to an unfavourable position.

”What do you mean by that? I am giving you an opportunity to avenge your parents' death.” His tone was severe.

Kaito's eyes turned chillier at the unrepentant person.

”Why don't you avenge them yourself? They are your son and daughter-in-law.” He countered without feeling.

The grandfather was speechless. He had said the words because he had hoped to anger and rile up Kaito by mentioning his parent's death so that he would be fired up enough to join forces with him. However, he had underestimated this person.

”You! Don't you care about the injustice of their death?” He asked banging the table again.

Kaito leaned back in his chair with a smile and without a hint of apology.

”Perhaps I would care if I remembered them. But I was two years old when they died, and I did not know about them until I was sixteen. They are strangers to me in every way.”

Elder Takahashi could see the sense in the words, but he still felt it was wrong for Kaito not to care.

”Even if this is the case…” He started.

”I am also quite reluctant to be used by you to fight your enemy so that you can fish in troubled waters.” Kaito interrupted and added.

”How can you be so unfeeling? This is for the sake of the survival of our family.” The riled up old man was angered once again by the lack of respect.
