Chapter 521 - REPAYING KINDNESS (1/2)

Yagi Seiryo paused for a long moment before speaking up.

”Ayumi is dead.” He said with a heavy tone.

Kaito looked nonchalant after receiving this fresh piece of news, but he was not completely unaffected. He had long grown tired of Ayumi and her antics. Furthermore, he never planned to forgive her for the things she said about flaying Akira. He had blacklisted her in his mind.

And with a chance in the Crown, he would have killed her.

Still, he mourned for her death.

However, he also knew that it was inevitable for Ayumi to have a bad ending. She had not only offended him. She had caused a big mess in both the Shadow Brotherhood and the general underworld in Tokyo, especially after realising Venom and the rest of them.

Kaito saw the evidence collected from the deaths of the people who had opposed Ayumi and gotten killed by those prisoners. As an ȧssassin, he had seen a lot, but he could not deny that the scene photos caused his stomach to churn.

Retribution always came. No one could escape the cycle of karma.

”I see,” Kaito said.

”Are you not going to ask what happened?” Yagi asked with a strange look in his eyes.

”It is not difficult to guess,” Kaito responded.

He could already deduce that the people who wanted to deal with Ayumi were from the Shadow Brotherhood. As soon as Ayumi lost control of Venom, Spider and the rest of the prisoners, she became a vulnerable sheep.

In Yagi's territory, she could hide peacefully. As soon as the yakuza leader kicked her out, they probably took her out immediately.

”She offended quite a number of people in the recent past, so her death was particularly painful.” Yagi tried to bait Kaito so that he would ask for more information.

”I am more interested in your presence here. What do you want?” Kaito did not want to dwell on the gruesome end of Ayumi.

Moreover, he had a lot of business to handle. He wanted to return to Mountain Ridge as soon as possible.

It was strange. He moved to Mountain Ridge on a whim. He did not like the Takahashi family, and he did not have a lot of ties to the city. However, because of Akira, he came to think of Mountain Ridge as his home.

He smiled a little before his face resumed its cold appearance.

Yagi looked at the ȧssassin and decided to speak his mind.  ”I have been looking for an opportunity to repay your kindness.”
