Chapter 493 - BAD FEELING (1/2)
A few days later, Kaito decided to go to Takahashi Corporation to check things out. He felt like it would be a shame if he did not inform his Uncle Senzo of his glorious return. After all, he knew the old man had schemed at length to get rid of him permanently.
According to Taiki, Senzo made the report because he found out that Kaito was not weak. Since he could not get rid of his nephew himself, he wanted to borrow a knife from Martial Island. If Taiki had not taken the mission, Kaito might have already met his end.
Kaito had established a plan for dealing with his uncle. However, he did not want to eliminate him directly. It would be a shame for him to have a quick death after all his deeds. He wanted the man to surrender everything in his hands and suffer pain as his life slipped from his hands.
If he had acted so desperately for the rare material, he probably wanted to enjoy a long life of prosperity. He had safeguarded the company because he hoped to keep controlling it for a hundred more years.
Of course, things were not going to be so easy. Kaito would let him know that long life was not all that great. He wanted his uncle to wish for death and be unable to get it. And he wanted to see him lose everything he had killed his kin to possess.
”You should take Uncle Taiki with you to the company,” Akira said during breakfast.
Kaito still felt a little annoyed when he heard Akira calling his uncle so naturally. Furthermore, it seemed like she was serious about letting him stay with them in Mountain Ridge. He could not understand her intentions, but he accepted the situation.
That did not stop him from glaring at Taiki childishly.
”I am just going to say hello, nothing more,” Kaito said. ”I do not plan on dealing with him immediately. And even if I was planning on fighting him, I can handle everything he throws at me.”
”Alright. I am going to visit my father later. Uncle Taiki can come with me.” Akira did not insist.
Kaito frowned. ”I have already made arrangements for a driver and a couple of bodyguards. You do not have to worry.”
”There is no harm in taking one more person,” Akira said. ”Plus, he can keep me company and help me with miscellaneous things.”
Kaito did not know what to say. It was impossible to argue when someone presented a perfectly logical and reasonable explanation. In the end, he could only accept the situation in the face of Akira's stubbornness.
As he was driving to the company, he wondered if Akira was mad at him. Even though she had not said anything and even understood the circumstances, he could not be sure that she was not angry with him. She had been a little moody since they returned to Mountain Ridge.
However, he was not stupid enough to bring up mood swings with his pregnant girlfriend. He was not ready to die a slow and painful death.
On the other side, Akira and Taiki left the house at the top of the mountain. The two of them sat in silence in the back of the vehicle. Akira tapped on her new phone and checked the latest on MR Circle with ease. Her new phone was even better than the one she had.
The appearance was not prominent like the one she had before. The new one was smooth and sleek, like the high-end products on the global market. However, the functionality surpassed most high-quality computers.
She had Zhong Feng to thank for the phone. The phone model was extremely exclusive because of the cost of production. It was not a practical item for mass production because most people had no use for such computing power.
From what she learned from Hu Lei, the phone was designed by Zhong Feng. Acquiring the phone did not only require a lot of money. People would also need to have good connections. In essence, it was like a rare jewel owned by industry specialists or used to reward people at Zhong Feng's whims.
The number one trending topic on MR Circle was about Mio. Akira remembered her because she had caused some trouble during the grand opening of her restaurant, Elements. She was a socialite from one of the main families, the Izumiya family.
