Chapter 590 - SPILLING BLOOD (1/2)

Inside The Summit, Kaito was breaking into a nervous sweat. He did not know why he was worried. He was sure that Akira would show up, but he could not stop the apprehension in his heart. If it were not for his training, he might have started pacing.

”It seems like Akira wised up and made a run for it,” Hajime said with a grin while looking at Kaito.

Kaito levelled a calm gaze on his cousin. ”Why are you here again?”

”You know Akira invited me to the wedding. I am just pitying you, so I am standing by your side. I should be with the Yamazaki family, with my teacher.” Hajime said with unfounded pride.

Kaito smiled with an evil gaze. ”It seems that your skin and skull have become thicker since I last saw you. Perhaps, it is time I taught you a lesson.”

Hajime felt a cold chill in his bones. He knew that Kaito would not really harm him, but he could definitely make his life quite miserable. After gaining power as the CEO of Takahashi Corporation, he had discovered good intel on Kaito.

He was not sure how much of what he found out was true, but he knew to be afraid of Kaito. As an assassin, he was a formidable figure. Moreover, his brilliance was exceptional. Still, the most frightening thing was his cruelty.

Hajime remembered how Kaito had helped him eliminate their uncle, Takahashi Senzo.

After the incident in Tokyo, Senzo began making his move again to take back the company. He sent his thugs to attack Hajime and his family while also targeting the internal operations of the corporation. Kaito had left people to protect him.

However, he was still quickly overwhelmed by Senzo's methods. At the time, Hajime did not want to bother Kaito because of the incident in Tokyo. However, one of his subordinates must have reported the matter, causing Kaito to call him.

Kaito told him about the greatest weakness that Senzo had. With just a vial of an unusual material that Kaito had hidden, Hajime was able to get Senzo to back away from the company. He never thought too much about the contents of the vial.

All he knew was that Senzo had fallen into a coma. He was at the Stillwater Medical Research Institute, and the finest doctors could not identify the cause of his coma.

Hajime had gone to see him. The man was hooked to countless machines, and he looked so weak and helpless. He was a shadow of the man who once reigned with terror. At that moment, Hajime felt peace. He had gotten revenge for his father.

He was grateful to this elder cousin who appeared out of nowhere and changed his life. He was no longer a little boy hiding in the shadows. He had become the best version of himself, a man who could protect his mother and sister, and a man who could face his father with pride.

Still, he enjoyed getting a rise out of Kaito when he could, especially when it concerned Akira.

”You would not spill blood on your wedding day, would you?” Hajime laughed. ”It is bad luck.”

Kaito cracked his knuckles while looking at Hajime. Hajime felt fear and quickly stepped behind Zhong Feng who was standing silently with his usual austere dignity. His calm eyes looked from one man to the other.

”Stop playing around. Can't you be more like Xiao Fai?” Zhong Feng asked.

Kaito and Hajime looked to the Hu Fai. The young boy was already sixteen, but he still looked incredibly young. His body was petite, and his face was cute, just like Hu Lei. However, he was not childish and irresponsible.
