Chapter 550 - THE INVISIBLE BOY (1/2)

The Floating Pavilion was quiet as Akira walked into the room.

She was afraid.

Usually, when she went out on dangerous missions, she never felt that gripping hollowness of terror. Her emotions were always calm. She always knew how the mission would go on, and how it would end. Therefore, she never felt fear.

Moreover, she was alone in the past.

But now, if she made an error in judgement, she would not die alone. There was Little Precious, and there was Kaito.

She could not afford to fail..

Bonnie and Clyde kept their weapons up as Akira appeared. They looked at her for a long moment before Bonnie started laughing. She lowered her gun, but the people in the restaurant felt even more terrified.

”I did not think you would bring your little wife to this dangerous place.” Bonnie looked at Kaito with shock.

”You mean it is…” Clyde was equally surprised.

”Indeed, darling! This is the woman that everyone wants to kill.” Bonnie said. ”You know, if we shot her right now and posted a video on that stupid Watch, we would be instant millionaires. Maybe, even billionaires.”

Kaito looked at them coldly before walking towards Akira. The two people did not seem to mind his actions. It was as if they felt they were in control of everything. The threat of Kaito was non-existent to them.

Bonnie looked closer at Akira. ”Now, tell me. Why do people hate a cute little lady like you? People from all over the world are literally paying to see your death. And these are people who do not know you at all. They have no grudge against you.”

Despite their fear of the volatile couple, the people in the restaurant could not help looking at Akira. She was a bit on the short side, but her facial features were quite good. Even though she was heavily pregnant, she looked like she had a good figure.

Furthermore, her eyes had a clear and adorable quality, like a small guileless animal.

It was implausible that someone was trying to kill her for sport.

”I am just popular that way. Some of us are born to stand at the centre of the universe.” Akira said flatly as Kaito looked her up and down while subtly placing a thin knife into her clothes. Her facial expression did not change.

She did not have any weapon to defend herself, so she was glad to have the security of the blade. If it were not for the hostages and the bomb, she would never have come up. She was sure that Kaito would have figured a way out.

Unfortunately, there was too much at stake.

Bonnie snorted as she waved the gun in her hand. ”You know that these people want to kill you. It is not like you are a god.”

Akira shrugged. ”Good publicity or bad publicity, what is the difference? I am famous.”
