Chapter 406 - KNOWING TOO MUCH (1/2)

The cold tone from Kaito caused the man before him to hesitate. If it had been a few months before, Kaito would probably not have been overly influenced by the mention of his parents' death. In the past, the idea of parents was abstract.

He had managed to survive and thrive without their love or guidance. Since he was alright with how his life had turned out, he did not think it was necessary to care about the unknown people responsible for his existence.  ​​

However, his life in Mountain Ridge, the photos, the home videos and the stories from his grandmother showed him what he missed and made him feel cheated. Even in their death, they thought of him and tried to give him a better future by hiding their wealth.

As a result, he developed deep anger towards his uncle who caused those two people, who must have cared for him deeply, to disappear from the world.

”Your mother was no longer a member of the Martial Island. And our cooperation with Takahashi Senzo is merely business. He took over an agreement that we had made with your mother and father almost thirty years ago.” The man responded calmly.

Kaito did not care for the explanation. If anything, it made him even angrier at the situation.

”I have no interest in going with you to this Martial Island. Do not interfere with my plans. Takahashi Senzo will pay for his sins. I will encourage you to find another business partner.” Kaito said with an intense chill in his voice.

”I am afraid that I cannot allow you to walk away. You know too much.” There was a hint of something like sorrow in his voice.

”If I know too much, wouldn't taking me back to your secret island allow me to learn even more?” Kaito responded with irony.

”You took a sample of one of our products. With your connections and your girlfriend's background, I can only ȧssume that you had the item tested. This information is dangerous in the wrong hands. Therefore, I cannot let you go.”

The explanation was simple and clear, and it made sense even to Kaito. Furthermore, he felt a little more apprehensive because this man seemed to know everything about him and his actions.

”Who are you?” Kaito asked.

Before the man could respond, Kaito was holding his concealed needles between his fingers. He lifted his hands and threw the sharp weapons at the man, targeting his vital organs. The other party lifted his hand and swept off the needles with his sleeve.

”This level of attack is nothing to me.” The person did not seem to care.

”I did not think it would be anything to you since you are clearly a powerful person. But I am not a fighter. I am an ȧssassin.” Kaito had a subtle smile on his face.

The man from Martial Island felt numbness in his legs. He noticed small acupuncture needles sticking to his legs in the space between his robe and his sandals.

”You are indeed a good ȧssassin. You distracted me with a dramatic and obvious attack, but your goal was to poison me. And this is quite a powerful poison.”

Kaito looked at the man. A touch of the poison would be enough to kill or disable an average person. He had concocted it using a few venoms from snakes from the most dangerous parts of the world. The material targeted both the circulatory and nervous systems.

”Thank you. It is something I brewed. But as expected, this is not enough to take you out.” Kaito responded easily before taking out throwing stars.
