Chapter 359 - HIS OLD COMRADE (1/2)

Akira became infuriated by the cursory response. It seemed that Kaito was not taking her anger and discomfort seriously enough. This thought made her want to smack him.

Usually, she was not a very fierce person. Sure, she could fight, but she only took action when it was necessary. But Kaito triggered an impulse in her to embrace violence.  ​​

She took a deep breath to calm down the heat in her heart.

”If you are not going to be serious about this, I will just bid you farewell and be on my way.” She said with a huff.

Kaito resisted the urge to laugh again.

”I am in a lot of pain. I can't concentrate in this cold. I promise you that I will tell you everything once I rest a little.” He said before swaying as if he was about to fall.

Akira felt her heart jump and reached for him. She held him up to prevent a fall. She cursed in her heart as she supported him and placed him in the passenger seat. If she had known she would be the one taking care of him, she would never have dealt with him with a heavy hand, well, foot.

She entered the car and sat in the driver's seat and looked at Kaito. She did not know if she was imagining it but Kaito seemed to be a little gleeful.

”Akira, you are so nice to me,” Kaito said in a small voice.

”Humph! I am merely afraid that you will collapse at the roadside, and I will be charged with manslaughter.” She looked outside the window to hide her blush.

”I am still lucky,” Kaito responded. ”Where are you going?”

Akira remembered her plans. Although she was escaping Kaito, she did not intend to return. After the dramatic exit at the Yamazaki home, she felt it was best to stay away until things cooled down.

”I am going to Tokyo. Don't think I will change my plans because of you.”

Kaito could see that Akira just wanted to go against him. However, he would not allow her to get away from him again. If he was not with her, she would probably build up some crazy scenarios in her head.

”Then, I will go with you. You can take care of me there.” He responded.

”You are truly shameless,” Akira said before starting the car.

'If I am not shameless, would I get a chance?' Kaito thought to himself. However, outwardly, he retained a pitiful and painful expression.

As Akira drove, she looked at the motorcycle behind.

”What are you going to do about your motorbike?” She asked.

”I will check on it when we return.”

Kaito did not care about it at all. It was only a means to an end. Since he had already achieved his mission, the motorcycle was a liability. He had paid cash for it, so he did not know how to find the young man who sold it to him.

But if luck was on his side, the police or a good Samaritan would find it, and the motorcycle would return to its owner. On the other hand, a random person might find it and take ownership. Either way, there were no significant losses.

”By the way, how did you find me?” Akira asked as they drove away.

”I tracked my phone at the station. The police were very helpful.” Kaito said with amusement.
