Chapter 291 - Do not butt in (2/2)

Sara was also surrounded by powerful people now and he could not easily harm her even if he wanted.

He knew he made a mistake from the very moment he asked Snake to bring Sara back to the base many years ago.

He would have just let them kill her back then.

But he could not allow it. She had reminded him of someone—The only woman he ever loved.

Sara had looked exactly like her and the way she ran that day reminded him of how his own woman had ran for her dear life. But unfortunately, she was still caught and killed.

He thought saving Sara would make him feel like he had gone back in time to save his own teenage love. But things had not gone according to plan.

Not only did she hit him, she called him all sort of names that he had never heard in his entire life.

She had made the base fun for him and he always wanted to rile her up.

He had wanted to make her a full Black because he needed someone like her. But unfortunately, she did not have same plans as him.

If not for his sister.... That damned woman!

Speaking of her, she finally arrived.

There was no smile on her face when she sat down opposite him. Her face was as cold as ever.

”You can excuse us now” Fuji said to Snake.

After Snake left, they siblings began to talk.

”What is this? Why can't I get a simple painting? Elder Jin's birthday is in two days!” She complained with a frown.

”I totally forgot how stubborn that girl was. If she says no, it's a no. She did not seem to even fall for my little trick and quickly broke out of my hypnosis. I really underestimated her”

He smirked and spoke more to himself that to his sister.

”You are using Sara Wang?”

Medusa could easily guess who he was referring to with that look in his eyes.

”Sure” Fuji uncrossed his legs and placed the glass of wine on the table before offering her one ”It's your favourite.”

”Since when did you go back on your word? Did you not promise to let her go?” Medusa yelled at him in anger and refused to accept the drink.

”I did. But this is for you this time. Trust me.”

”This is not just about me.  Now she's all grown up and you think you can finally have her? Don't even think about it and focus on getting me that painting” She warned.

Medusa had easily recognised Sara when she saw her on Christmas day. She remembered the little girl who had looked at her like she was a murderer.

It was the first time she killed someone. And seeing that look on Sara's eyes as she stared at her, made her confirm what she had just done.

She thought they killed Sara that day. But to her surprise, she found out that Sara was locked in the base. She knew her brother would not just keep her like that and had gone to see for herself if it was true that Fuji treated her like his 'daughter' because she did not think so.

She had seen him laughing at her while she trained. It was as if he was having fun by erely looking at her.

She had also heard Sara yell and cuss him but he had simply laughed and told her to train more if she wanted to leave.

At that very moment, she knew something was wrong.

She knew keeping Sara would only put them all in trouble because eventually she would become his weakness.

She had asked him to let Sara go or kill her. But Fuji refused. No matter what she said, he did not agree.

It did hurt her because her brother liked her a lot but now, he could not agree to that simple wish.

Out of anger, she had threatened to cut ties with him if he chose Sara. And not only that, she was going to kill Sara with her own hands. That way, he could come kill her and lose both women in the end.

It was at that point that he knew she was serious. Because he could not kill his sister. And he did not want his sister to kill 'his woman'.

He had to make both happy and had been looking for a way to let Sara go. He finally saw the opportunity when she threatened to kill herself.

Sara was one person he did not want to die. He believed it was going to be a waste if she left the world because she was a very interesting child.

So he had agreed to let her go reluctantly. Even after she stabbed him that night, he still did nothing to stop her. It was at that point that he believed his sister's words about Sara being his doom if she stuck around.

But he had also threatened her that night. He told her he would clear every record of all that happened in the past one year. But she had to keep everything to herself in return, because they were always watching and if she tried to report them to the police or tell anyone, then not just her, her whole family would also be killed.

Sara had swore with her life to keep it to herself. All she wanted at that point was to see her family.

But he had greatly missed her when she left.

”She wants to meet you. She said she wants to meet the one who needs the painting” Fuji finally said to Medusa.

”Then let me handle it from here. Do not butt in.” Medusa warned before getting up to leave.
