Chapter 513 - WANTING RECOGNITION (1/2)

Kaito walked with purpose towards Ayumi and ignored the other patrons in the club. A few people who were about to approach him felt some loss at missing out. He was handsome and possibly quite rich. It would be fun to spend even a single night with him.

Just as he was about to enter the VIP section, he was stopped by two men in black suits who seemed to be guarding the area against intruders. It seemed like Ayumi was a true celebrity in the Crown, based on the apparent treatment.

However, Kaito did not care about trivial things.

He looked at the guards standing in his way coldly. He was ready to fight them if necessary. As he had suspected, this club was somewhat related to the yakuza. He could tell that the two young men were members, based on their aura and concealed markings.

But he was not afraid of trouble. He had not sunk to the point where he needed to worry about small-time thugs.

”Let him in. Let him in.” Ayumi looked over and shouted over the music. ”He is somebody I used to know.”

The two men were uncertain, but they let Kaito into the VIP section without further ado. Their boss had told them to listen to the woman and fulfil her wishes. Even though they did not know his future plans for the lady, they would still follow orders.

Kaito looked down at Ayumi with sharp eyes once he stepped into the VIP section. She looked back before laughing.

”It has been a while. I thought you were dead. I even planned to build a beautiful memorial for you.” She said.

Kaito was silent for a long moment. ”What happened to the Shadow Brotherhood?”

”Don't you already know?” She asked with careless scorn. ”Let us discuss business a little later. For now, we need to celebrate your resurrection.”

Ayumi lifted a hand, and a good-looking young man came and poured Kaito a drink. However, Kaito did not touch it. He was waiting to see what Ayumi would say or do. If he could say one thing, it was that he did not recognise her anymore.

Or perhaps, this is the person she was deep inside.

”Are you afraid that I have drugged your drink?” Ayumi asked with a shallow laugh. ”I know better than to do something so stupid to get you. In any case, you have a high tolerance for drugs, so it would be just a waste.”

Kaito felt a growing hint of impatience swell in his heart. He picked the glass on the table and looked like he was about to take a sip from it. Ayumi watched his slow actions keenly while also drinking from her glass. But at the same time, she was feigning nonchalance.

Kaito looked right back at her before he set the glass back down on the table without taking even a sip. He could smell a slight whiff of an unknown compound beneath the strong aroma of the whiskey. His tolerance was high, but he would never take chances on unknown substances.

Ayumi laughed. ”You can't blame a girl for trying.”
