Chapter 411 - LITTLE PRECIOUS (2/2)

At first, she was not planning on dealing with this group of wild animals thoroughly, but it seemed like they were not willing to behave like people. And since she was not dealing with human beings, she did not need to be polite.

”How will you stop me if I want to leave?” She turned to look at her so-called mother.

Sayaka also made her stance clear. ”I have stationed guards at all the exits. It would be best if you stayed put and listened to this plan for the sake of the family. Yes, I am aware that you can fight. But you seem to treasure your baby quite a bit. I wouldn't take a risk with violence if I were you.”

Akira felt like she had fallen into an ice bath. ”Are you sure you want to threaten me?”

”This is not a threat, Akira. I am trying to do what is best for everyone involved. Just stay here. I have made arrangements for you. You will see. Everything will be fine.” Sayaka insisted.

Akira looked at the faces around the room. They had an awkward look, but it was clear they were not against her being held hostage in the house. They probably knew about this progression in advance.

She smiled and walked back to her seat. When she settled down, Sayaka also sat with relief. She did not want to resort to violence.

Akira did not seem to have any intention of fighting back. She took out her phone and tapped on it with nimble fingers.

”It is useless to call for help right now. Even if your friends come, I do not intend to let you leave with them.” Sayaka said with some sorrow. ”It is better to just settle down and take care of yourself for now. Do not worry about anything.”

Akira did not look up as she continued tapping on her chunky phone. ”I have indeed called for help. As you so subtly put it, I wouldn't want anything to happen to my Little Precious. So, I can only depend on my friends to turn this place upside down.”

The tone was casual and light.

”Oh, when are Dad and Brother coming back?”  She asked.

”They are handling an emergency with your grandmother for now. They probably won't be back in a while.” Sayaka looked a little proud of organising for that.

She did not want the two people to return before she had the opportunity to move Akira to a 'safe' location. She was not sure they would agree with her plan. It was too bad that the place she had called to get Akira would take a while to get to Mountain Ridge.

”That is good,” Akira responded lightly without looking up.

”What do you mean?”

”I have been lenient and kind, and it seems none of you takes me seriously for this reason. But I cannot overlook your behaviour anymore, or you will keep troubling me. So, I am going to make sure that your lives are destroyed before I walk away. I want you to understand that no one speaks ill of my Kaito or Little Precious.”

The words were spoken softly and almost cutely.

But everyone felt a cold sweat flow down their backs.
