Chapter 421 - CUTE CHILD ACTING OLD (2/2)

She was cute as a buŧŧon, but a lethal manslayer.

Now, she was acting all grown up, but she was still short and adorable. He knew she was not weak, but she was still a child to him. Therefore, there was a deep anger in him when he remembered her condition.

”We will talk about this at length. And when I find that fool, my sword will taste blood.” He declared through gritted teeth.

Akira thought of Kaito and his predicament, and her face fell again. He still had not called her or even sent a message. She did not want to overthink or freak out. But she was more worried than ever.

”Let's go back. I think something is wrong.” Akira said.

Her situation would get worse if Kaito's enemies found her. She was someone with a target on her back because of the small posts on that dreadful MR Circle. If she did not leave Mountain Ridge, it would only be a matter of time before someone found her.

She was always a sensible child who made rational decisions.

What possessed her to make so many bad choices, starting with returning to the Yamazaki family?

But he could not scold her when she was already down. If she had the presence of mind to reach out to him, she probably knew that things were not good.

”Yeah. Let's go home. Don't worry.” He rubbed her head gently. ”Raiden is taking care of cleaning up all news of you and that man. I have also sent in a team to clean up other clues. Within hours, only the unavoidable tracks will remain.”

”Alright.” Akira nodded obediently. ”But someone has to bring me my things from my apartment.”

She was just so tired. She did not have the energy for a detour.

”Ok. Just make a list on the way back, and I will have someone bring in everything by tomorrow morning.” The Chief indulged like she was a child.

Akira took another glance at her family before following the Chief out of the house. No one dared to stop her or speak up against this man.

As the chopper rose into the air, another vehicle drove onto the Yamazaki property. This familiar vehicle belonged to Daiki, but Seiji was driving. He had offered after he realised that his father was not in the right state as they left the medical facility.

The two Yamazaki men were shocked by the mess in the home. The chaos was inexplicable, especially the squad vehicles and armed police walking around the property. Seiji and his father looked at each other in shock.
