Seeing the arrival of Gion, Diego, and a foreign figure made the attractive woman Saito surprised. Even his expression seemed a little pale due to who came directly the chairman and vice-chairman of the Jade Scorpion group.
"I've been letting you down for a long time because you're Diego's sister-in-law. But now you've gone too far, Nami.
Get out of here now and I'll pretend I won't see you!"
The body of the woman named Nami was slightly trembling. Biting her lower lip, she was still standing in front of Saito. Trying to get in the way of his friend not getting hurt.
When the previous middle-aged woman walked into the room, Diego walked over and slapped her cheek hard.
"I told you this concerns the future of the Jade Scorpion! How dare you even divulge and ask your sister to take him away!"
The woman rubbed her cheeks. Gazing towards Diego, he replied firmly.
"If it wasn't for Uncle Kaito, our two sisters couldn't have survived until now! I will never meet you, let alone marry you!
Then you say, I should let it go?
Because you can't survive, you sacrifice others. That kind of thing is simply not something I can praise!"
When the situation seemed chaotic, Ark's figure walked towards the window. He opened the window and sat in a wooden box by the window. The young man crossed his legs while propping up his chin. Let the wind blow on him.
"T-Master Hades?" gion asked with a nervous expression.
The people in the room also looked at him with shocked expressions. It even feels a little strange.
"Standing while watching this kind of drama is exhausting. Please continue, just think of me as the wind."
"..."
Although everyone was feeling emotional, they were also embarrassed when Ark reminded them. The room became quiet and the atmosphere became awkward.
Just then, Nami walked towards Ark with a doubtful and fearful expression on her face. Standing not far from her, the woman ventured to say.
"S-I don't know what grudge you have against Saito, but ...
Isn't buying someone for revenge an exaggeration?!"
Hearing the question, Ark glanced at Nami then replied in a flat tone.
"That kind of thing is bad. Even if I just ask, the Jade Scorpion should give it. There was no need for threats because that was the Jade Scorpion.
Thinking of the gains they would get in the future."
Ark's speech made Gion and Diego's expressions worse. Nami and her sister felt that there was a chance. But before they spoke, Ark's voice was heard again.
"Then what? You think that kind of thing shouldn't be done? If so, it's better for you two women to stop being naive.
You did a good job protecting your benefactor son. However, aren't Gion and Diego also your benefactors?
You blame them for everything they do. But in the end, you still get protection and food from them. Yes ... responsibilities of husband or sister-in-law? Let you do nothing and enjoy the results?
Delicious~
If you're not protected and become the woman out there, I'm sure you've been captured and enjoyed every night by those delinquents.
Yeah, let's just say you're lucky enough and don't meet vile people. Given how weak you are, maybe you'll sell yourself to survive."
Hearing Ark's words, Nami and her brother looked pale. Gion and Diego were also shocked. They had absolutely no idea to whom the masked figure was taking sides.
"End ... Saito, right?
I know that you think they're protecting you is normal because your father once protected them. But aren't you overreacting too?
Your father gave them some bread and shelter in difficult times. But from the stories I heard, they did not stop trying at all so that they could rise to this point.
So, I think that giving you food and letting you stay here has made up for what your father did. I think they're stupid for still taking care of you. As for you, yes ... quite naive and crazy for thinking they deserve to serve you for life."
Ark took a deep breath before continuing.
"They owe it to your father, not to you. But they still reply. It was a noble deed.
Whereas you are just a pathetic man with pride in your heart. What the hell is that arrogant look you're hiding?
Continuously deceiving yourself while thinking if it wasn't for the promise you made when your father died then you would have conquered the world? Thinking that you don't have a promise not to kill, you are the greatest?
What a wonderful way to lie to yourself."
Ark's words shocked everyone. They stared at Saito with astonished expressions, even a hint of disgust.
Saito who was previously sitting quietly suddenly stood up. He stared at the Ark with a hateful expression. The man immediately rushed towards the Ark then struck strongly.
Ark glanced at it with an indifferent expression. The thin, dry body without energy did not threaten him at all. He casually reached out his left hand and caught Saito's fist.
"You ... You must be from that organization! The ones who killed Dad!"
"Oh? How are you so sure?"
"Because ..no one knows that Dad was murdered except for them!"
Saito pulled his hand. Ark released it casually, but was immediately greeted with a powerful kick.
The young man still looked relaxed as he held back Saito's kick with one hand.
"Compare us is actually less precise."
Ark once again released Saito. He glanced at Gion then said.
"Can you leave us alone?"
Gion took a deep breath and said.
"good. You guys, follow me."
Seeing Gion leave, Diego pulls his wife away by force. Nami seemed to want to stay, but Saito's gaze made her choose to leave.
After everyone left, Saito who was standing not far from Ark immediately asked.
"Who are you? How do you know all my secrets? What exactly do you want?"
Not immediately answering, Ark instead said in a lazy and bored tone.
"Saito Ishigami, Kaito Ishigami's son. The dojo's last heir. No, rather the last heir to the Wind Way sword style.
A few years ago when he was a teenager, he was a bad boy who liked to fight because of his skills. Considered a little boy. But unfortunately, he offended people who should not be offended.
For some reason, he beat up the son of a local official and even broke his left wrist. Therefore, he was almost put in jail but could be prevented by his father. But because of paying compensation, the dojo who could barely make money became bankrupt. Even Kaito is also in a lot of debt.
Until one night, Kaito is pronounced dead because of an unspecified thing.
People say that the reason he died was suicide because he was no longer able to pay the debt. His son said that his father was killed. People don't believe, plus the absence of evidence, the case is finally closed."
Ark who had been looking out the window turned towards Saito while asking.
"Is that true?"
"..."
Saito did not answer. The man gritted his teeth. An expression of sadness and anger was on his face. His hands clenched tightly. His nails dug into the flesh of the palm, making a few drops of blood fall to the floor.
Gazing towards the Ark with red eyes, Saito opened his mouth. He asked in a hoarse voice.
"You ... who?!"
Hearing that question, Ark finally stood in front of Saito. He made a polite greeting like a noble while saying.
"I'm just a person who "coincidentally" heard stories about you.
I'm just a "coincidence" interested in your swordsmanship.
I'm just a "coincidental" guy who wants to meet and give you an offer."
Ark's eyes flashed coldly.
"People call me ... Hades."
By the time Ark introduced himself, the sounds of flapping wings and the "singing" of crows rang out from all directions. This made Saito's expression change.
"What are you trying to do?!"
Not only Saito, Ark who finished introducing himself was also shocked. The young man muttered.
"Although it is not so far away, but the raven tower distance is farther than the zoo. Who would have thought, than a wild beast ...
It turns out the crows came first."
Ignoring the bewildered Saito, Ark walked past him just like that. I have no intention of staying in that room.
"Life is full of surprises."
Ark said as he walked through the hallway.
