Chapter 514 - THE MAN CALLED YAGI (1/2)

Kaito felt like they were going round and round in the conversation. Whenever he said something, Ayumi would find a way to bring it back to the topic of her unrequited love. She twisted the dire situation of the Shadow Brotherhood into one where she was the victim of circumstances.

Furthermore, she seemed to feel like all her wrongs had to be forgiven because she could not get together with Kaito. Her stubbornness and unwillingness to accept her mistakes clearly meant that she did not care about her actions.

How could Kaito accept that?

In his opinion, Ayumi did not love him as she claimed. Or at least, if she once loved him, that love had become twisted and convoluted into something else. Something dark… The emotions on her face did not match the words of apparent love coming out of her mouth.

It was not like Kaito wanted the woman to like him. He just did not like the manipulation of her blaming him for everything bad that happened to her. He would not be lenient.

”You are from now banned from all the business relating to the Shadow Brotherhood,” Kaito said coldly, disregarding the earlier confession.

Ayumi laughed. ”You are banning me from that useless place? I will tell you now. I do not care about it, and I have never cared for it. You gave it to me as a consolation prize because you did not have the guts to be with me.”

”And you should know that I only took the place because I know you care about it. Look at you. Even now when it is nothing but trash, you are still thinking of your beloved Shadow Brotherhood. You are too sentimental, Kaito.”

She downed the drink in her glass and looked at him with darkness in her eyes. ”I hoped that holding the so-called Brotherhood over your head would cause you to return to me. But you are quite the stubborn one when you want.”

”The destruction of the group is good too. Perhaps, you will experience a fraction of the pain I have lived with for all these years. If I could, I would take that little girlfriend of yours and flay her before killing her. Maybe you could understand what heartbreak means.”

Kaito was incredibly angry, but he did not burst out. He simply felt that his feelings of comradeship were completely dead with the words that Ayumi spoke.

He did not care if it was just venting or if she was simply inebriated after drinking too much whiskey. His bottom line was Akira. The fact that she could say something like that meant that she had been thinking about it. It had just surfaced at this moment.

He stood up. ”The next time we meet we will be irreconcilable enemies. I hope you can stay out of my way because I will not show mercy again.”

He drew the lines with Akira. With this action, he had already decided to summon all the members of the Shadow Brotherhood. He would make it clear that Ayumi was no longer a member of the group.

Furthermore, he would present a solution for the future for his mercenaries. He was already formulating a plan in his mind, but he needed to solidify everything completely before moving forward. For now, he just wanted to leave the scene.

”Do you think you can leave so easily after coming here?” Ayumi stood up with madness in her eyes.

”What do you mean?” Kaito asked with narrowed eyes.

Ayumi chuckled before she lifted her hand and let out a sharp whistle.

Within a few moments, a group of tough-looking people entered the club. They looked similar to the two men who were guarding Ayumi's VIP section. Kaito could guess that these individuals were probably members of whatever gang had welcomed Ayumi.

His eyes became narrow as he saw them clearing out the club. They chased away the partygoers who protested with vehemence. However, it seemed that some were not unfamiliar with this type of occurrence. After a few seconds, the club was empty.

”Is this how you want things to end?” Kaito asked Ayumi.

Ayumi laughed. ”Everything ended a long time ago. You have already forgotten everything we have been through after these years. Why should I let you go free? Perhaps, I will keep you as my pet once you are captured.”

Kaito realised that Ayumi was not going to make things easy for the both of them. She just wanted to find trouble with him. Her mind was no longer clear.

”So be it. If this is your choice, I am not afraid of these few people.” His eyes rested on the people who looked like they were rearing for a fight.

”I know you are quite skilled, Kaito. But do you think that you can beat all these people?” Ayumi said carelessly.
