Chapter 446 - KAITO HAD A PLAN (1/2)
Akira concealed herself in the bushes.
She did not dare go too far from the road because it was dark. The land in the entire locale was wild and unmaintained, and there were some wild animals in the national reserve. She did not want to risk sustaining more injuries.
She was also worried that she might be too far when Raiden brought her go-bag. Therefore, she decided to hunker down and watch her beautiful burning car. She was almost sure that the ȧssailants would not follow her down anyway.
If they were interested in a good show of her suffering, they would probably not follow her again into the dark. But she could not underestimate the ruthless people who were pursuing her for money. Therefore, she did not dare reveal herself.
She heard a vehicle driving away as she hid away. However, she did not come out. She could not be sure that it was not a ruse to draw her out. She waited while hoping that Raiden would be able to find her before it was too late.
Unfortunately, the Immortal Sword Valley was still quite far away.
After about thirty minutes, her phone vibrated. She picked it out from her pocket quickly and found it was Rai. She answered in a hushed whisper even though there was no one around.
”Have you arrived?” She asked.
”Oh, thank goodness you are alright. What happened to your car?” His voice was relieved.
”Rocket launcher. Short story. Did you find my go bag?” She asked.
”Yeah. You can come out.”
Akira stood from her squat in the dark bushes. She walked with difficulty up the incline leading to the road with her sword as support. She was glad that she had sensible shoes on, or she might have slid back down with every step. Finally, she vaulted over the road barrier.
When she reached the road, she saw two people instead of one. Raiden had an awkward look on his face, while the Chief had a stern expression as he looked at her. She felt guilty while facing him. Still, she walked steadily to him.
”Why didn't you tell me about all this?” The Chief asked with some hurt in his rough voice.
”I didn't know it would escalate this fast.” She replied.
”Is it that stupid man's enemies coming for you?” He asked with a vengeful expression.
Akira laughed. ”Surprisingly not. It is someone else. But I cannot tell you the details. Even if you have information, you will not be able to do anything about it. They are not your opponents.”
The Chief was unhappy because of this statement, but if Akira said it, it had to be true. He could not be stubborn and force her to tell him everything.
”Can you deal with it?” He asked.
”I think so. But I have to lay low for a while. I am in no condition to be fighting.” She said.
”Where will you go?”
”Don't worry. I have a plan.” Well, Kaito had a plan.
