Chapter 505 - A HOME INTRUDER (2/2)

Both her father and second brother had never treated her poorly. However, since she returned, they checked up on her frequently and sent her thoughtful gifts. The gifts were not only for her but also for Little Precious.

After the fallout with her mother, she was happy to know that her father and brother accepted her child completely. Her grandfather gave her a big surprise by calling her. She thought it was perfunctory, but he had information about her that exposed the fact that he knew a lot about her.

She smiled as she thought about her family. If it were not for the danger that followed her constantly, she would be able to meet them more. However, for her safety, her movements were restricted to the mountain where there was sufficient security.

Unfortunately, Kaito misinterpreted the smile, and his face darkened.

”Don't talk to him. He is a busybody, and he has designs on you.” Kaito said pettily.

Akira laughed and laughed at the statement. ”I am like a thousand years pregnant. I can hardly walk. Why are you still so jealous?”

Kaito snorted. ”Men cannot be trusted.”

”What about you?” Akira asked with more amusement.

”You already trusted me. And now, you can never escape from my evil lair.” Kaito smiled deviously before changing to a more serious tone. ”What did Uncle do about your former colleagues?”

Akira became a little sad again. ”I have told him not to alert them about his discovery. We have almost hooked the big fish. It would not do if we startled the people above them. I need to make sure that everything to do with Watch is eliminated.”

Kaito sighed. The two of them were almost certain that the person who built the app was in the Immortal Sword Brigade. However, they did not know that other people from the valley were involved in the operations against Akira.

If that was the case, it would indeed be stupid to take out the minions. They needed to learn about everything before making a move. It was still frustrating to know that people who wanted to harm his Akira was still roaming free.

”How is the discussion going on with Vladimir Romanov?” He asked.

Hu Lei had connected Akira with Vladimir to lure out the people behind Watch. He was known in the crime world and the technology world. Even if he claimed that he had no more ties with the underworld, it was not farfetched to think he would invest in Watch.

It was the reason the developer of Watch was so interested in getting an investment for expanding the app from him. He was the dream investor because he understood both the technical and creative aspects of the development.

”It is almost done. Vladimir has asked to see the full operation and the involved personnel before transferring the funds. He will be in town after the New Year's celebrations. I think that is why the Watch developer is more anxious to keep steady traffic.” She said.

”But none of the mercenaries has managed to get a single image of you.” Kaito frowned.

”According to Vladimir, the anticipation is making the promise of my death more exciting. And with Uncle Taiki appearing to deal with the mercenaries, he has also gained some popularity. He is like a surprise guest making a cameo.” Akira laughed.

”At least, he is good for something,” Kaito grumbled.

Akira laughed at her petty man. ”That reminds me, your uncle said that you have been neglecting your training lately. From now on, you have to train with him in the morning. He said that he does not want you to win, but he cannot have an embarrassing nephew.”

The evening passed without incident, but Taiki did not return. He was not predictable for someone who was not familiar with a lot of people in Mountain Ridge. He would come and go without a care from the house at odd hours.

The security measures installed around the mountain were completely useless to him. Luckily, he was on their side.

In the wee hours of the night, Kaito and Akira were woken up by an unfamiliar noise.

”Do you think it is Uncle Taiki?” Akira asked, even though she already knew the answer.

”Stay here. I will go check it out.” Kaito said as he opened his nightstand quietly.

He would not face an enemy without a weapon. And he had no doubt it was an enemy. Someone had broken the perimeter of their home, and he was going to teach them a lesson.
