Chapter 362 - SMILING HANDSOME FACE (1/2)

Kaito reviewed the document several times before he closed the email. Even though they had not left on good terms, he did not expect that she would resign as the vice president of Shuriken Logistics with immediate effect. He dialled her number.

”Hello,” Ayumi answered coolly.  ​​

”I have received your resignation letter. Are you sure about your decision?” Kaito asked.

”Of course. I believe the current situation is untenable.” She responded calmly.

”If that is the case, I approve your resignation.” He did not intend to convince her to stay in the company.

”However, I do not intend to give up on my position in the Shadow Brotherhood.” She added.

The Shadow Brotherhood and Shuriken Logistics were separate entities. Even though they were linked, the core structure was completely different. Shuriken Logistics was an open and clean business for the most part.

The business provided transportation, storage and freight management solutions to other companies. In simple terms, the enterprise was powerful and legitimate. However, Kaito established it originally as a cover for his Shadow Brotherhood operations.

Building a logistics company was the most sensible choice because of the flexibility of his ȧssassins travelling under the radar around the world on shipping trucks and cargo ships. Also, the new business provided a good solution for money laundering.

However, the success of running the two businesses came from keeping the core operations as separate as possible in terms of legal issues. Still, at the top of the managerial chain, Kaito led them both.

He had also ȧssigned Ayumi a role in monitoring the performance of the Shadow Brotherhood. Since she was not an exceptional ȧssassin like Kaito, she was not suited for fieldwork. Still, she managed the ȧssignments taken by the Shadow Brotherhood.

Kaito was silent for a moment after hearing her suggestion. He lowered his dark eyes and thought about her words for some time.

Ayumi thought he was opposed to the idea, so she explained further.

”It is not comfortable for me to keep working with you. But you cannot expect me to give up my entire life just to avoid you. For the moment, you cannot be involved with the Shadow Brotherhood. But we still have people who rely on the organisation for their income.” Ayumi explained.

”We cannot simply shut down without warning. You are under scrutiny after staying with Hu Lei in Supreme City and becoming the young master of the Takahashi family. It is only logical for me to focus on the Shadow Brotherhood since I won't have involvement with Shuriken Logistics.” She added.

Kaito was contemplative, but no one could understand his thoughts. After a long moment, the corner of his lips turned up.

”Alright. You can manage the Shadow Brotherhood for now.” He responded.

”Alright. If there is nothing else, I have other matters.” Ayumi said before ending the call.

Kaito continued going through his messages. Once he finished the work, he called the number Akira had given him. It seemed he could not take the lovely staycation with Akira that he had imagined when he stuck to her like plaster.

However, he could still enjoy coming back home here for a few days.
