“Hus . . .band?”
Hikari only blushed at Siwoo’s question.
“Wh. . . What do you mean . . . .”
“Don’t get carried away thinking I’ve acknowledged you as my granddaughter’s husband!”
“Oh come on. You know that my husband is not that kind of person.”
“It breaks my heart to know that my granddaughter lives in Korea.”
“I’ll visit often! Isn’t that right~ Husband?”
“. . . . . . .”
Siwoo wondered what part he had missed.
The flow of the conversation from the moment he first met the old man to before the word ‘husband’ was mentioned.
“Hmm.”
He didn’t know.
He truly didn’t know.
“Why am I . . . .”
“You bastard. Are you trying to say that you don’t like Hikari?”
Seigen emanated an aura that said he would tear him to pieces if he did.
“Th. . . That’s not it.”
Siwoo looked at Hikari, wondering what had happened.
Hikari bowed her head as if she was embarrassed to meet his gaze and replied.
“Sir Siwoo risked his life for me and fought against [Kagutsuchi]. Thanks to Sir Siwoo, my life was extended, so I want to be by his side for as long as I live.”
“No, you don’t have to do that.”
“Also, thㅡ though it’s embarrassing to say, didn’t you touch my body? My neck, my stomach, and my, my chest . . . . . . .”
“I’ll kill you!!”
Seigen got up from his seat and grabbed Siwoo by the collar.
“Now, wait!! You can’t just say I touched her!”
“Shut up!!”
In Seigen’s eyes, Siwoo was nothing more than a shameless hoodlum who had defiled his granddaughter.
He had dared to touch the body of his granddaughter, whom he had raised with love and care all his life, and now he dared to feign ignorance!
“I swear on the name of the <Hayakawa Family> and the gods that belong to it, I will definitelyㅡ!!”
“Grandpa! You mustn’t do that to my husband!”
“But Hikari . . . this bastard has defiled your body . . . .”
“No, this old man only listens to his granddaughter and doesn’t listen to me!”
“Be quiet, you bastard!! Does that mean you didn’t touch her?!”
“That was for no other purpose than . . . .”
【𝐇𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫! 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤’𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐛𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐨! 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲! 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐦!】
“Oh my . . . Th, that’s a secret!”
Pre was flying around, feeling proud of himself for having played a part in this.
That little brat.
Siwoo could feel cold sweat running down the back of his neck.
It would have been easier if they were enemies, but this was his first time dealing with an opponent like this, so it was difficult to respond.
However, Seigen, who seemed like he was about to explode with rage, had calmed down.
Siwoo judged that the other party had calmed down and cleared his throat before continuing.
“Old man? First, listen to my story. First of all, I have never kissed her, and . . . I only put my hands on her for healing purposesㅡ.”
“Commit seppuku.”
“Huh??”
“I said commit seppuku.”
Seigen said, placing the sword he had at his waist on the table.
“Will you take responsibility for my granddaughter, or will you kill yourself like a man?! Choose, you bastard!!”
“Grandpa! He saved my life! You’re being too harsh on my husband!”
“But Hikari, isn’t that bastard always evading the issue?!”
“My husband is just embarrassed. I’m so pretty, aren’t I?”
“That’s true. My granddaughter is considered one of the most beautiful women in Japan. Do you know that, you idiot?”
Siwoo rested his elbows on the table and supported his head with his palms.
What kind of disaster is this?
“Look, see, Grandpa? He’s embarrassed.”
“Hey! A man shouldn’t be embarrassed by something like this! Hurry up and say that you’ll take responsibility! Know that it is an honor to become a part of the <Hayakawa Family>!”
Siwoo let out a long, deep sigh.

Kiryu was reading the newspaper in the hotel lobby.
‘𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙧, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙑 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜.’
He adjusted his horn-rimmed glasses and checked the time.
His subordinates who had been tailing the target would be contacting him soon.
Kiryu, the captain of the <Red Fox)>, a special unit of the <Yamaguchi-gumi>, was skeptical about the difficulty of this mission.
No matter how great the Tokyo HSIU is, it’s just one person, but the worries of the adults and the second-in-command were too great.
They should deal with it quietly, or they should not let it be known that the <Yamaguchi-gumi> was involved.
As a result, the entire <Red Fox> was mobilized.
‘𝘿𝙤 𝙄, 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧, 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛? 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚.’
Kiryu was full of complaints.
Just ten years ago, the <Yamaguchi-gumi> was an organization that made all of Japan tremble.
Now, he felt like they had been reduced to nothing more than a neighborhood ‘thug’ organization.
‘𝙄𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙚 𝙆𝙖𝙞 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙩-𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙠𝙞𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩.’
Kiryu was a member of the radical reformist faction that believed that the organization should not only be rebuilt, but also regain its former glory.
However, the leader, Taoka Teruaki, was closer to a moderate conservative and was extremely averse to unnecessary disputes or friction.
This time, it was because the HSIU Hunter had come abroad that he had pushed forward.
‘𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙬𝙧𝙖𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙪𝙥 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙤 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙧𝙞𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨.’
As long as he had the support of other leading figures who supported the special unit, which was the shadow of the organization, it was something he could do.
“Hey~ I’m a little late today.”
Just then, someone sat down in the chair opposite him and spoke.
It was one of the subordinates he had sent to tail the target.
“You’re a little late. Did you oversleep?”
“Haha, no. I was watching the ‘fish.’ I’ve been really into it lately. The flower patterns are so pretty.”
The subordinate continued, comparing the target to a fish.
Kiryu responded to the conversation without taking his eyes off the newspaper.
“It’s fine to have a hobby of watching fish. Is the fish doing well?”
“Yes. I even built a big house for it, and I’m on my way back from watching it go in.”
“A house for a fish? You’re better off than me. By the way, what time was the meeting today?”
“It’s 1:20 now . . . I think it’s at 2.”
The subordinate answered the question with a big smile.
In summary, the target, a Hunter named ‘Hikari’, would soon be entering the hotel, and her restaurant reservation was at 2:00.
Kiryu nodded.
“How many people are expected from the trading company?”
“For now, I know of two, but I don’t know who they are.”
“It’s good that there aren’t many. It would be difficult to deal with if there were a lot of people. Are you sure you’re prepared for the meeting?”
“Of course! We are prepared to escort them to the best course.”
He didn’t know who she was having dinner with, but it would soon be her last supper.
Kiryu continued reading the newspaper.
After a while, the subordinate spoke up.
“The front desk says that the people from the trading company have arrived.”
“Oh? Then we should get ready too. . . .”
Kiryu, who was about to get up from his seat, was startled and carefully sat back down.
“Why?”
“Damn . . . Don’t you know who that is?”
“Well. . . The old man in the kimono? Is he a politician?”
Kiryu was speechless at his subordinate’s ignorance.
“Go eat some shit.”
“Huh? That’s harsh, senior.”
“It’s your brain that’s harsh, not my mouth.”
The subordinate looked shaken at Kiryu’s words.
It wasn’t that he was offended, but because he had rarely seen his captain act like this.
“Who is it?”
Kiryu spoke carefully, trying to make as little noise as possible.
“A giant and monster in the Japanese shamanistic world. Hayakawa Seigen.”
“Seigen? Is he one of the 20 people who fought at the ‘Kyoto S-Rank Gate’ 7 years ago?”
The subordinate recalled the name of a person he had only read about in textbooks.
An ‘S-Rank Gate’ is one of the worst disasters that can happen in any country.
It was a rare gate that had been reported less than 10 times worldwide, but two countries had been destroyed and three had been bankrupted by its rampage.
Japan was able to avert the disaster thanks to its capital and manpower as a developed country, but even then, the damage was not zero.
“Yes, that monster Seigen.”
At that time, there were 20 Japanese Hunters who had entered the S-Rank Gate and fought fiercely.
The government put them in textbooks and treated them as national heroes, and the 20 became the role models that all Hunters in Japan should aspire to.
Kiryu bit his tongue.
And then he checked the target’s file again.
Name: ‘Hayakawa Hikari.’
A family name that someone had intentionally crossed out.
‘𝘿𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩 . . . 𝙄𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮?’
If Kiryu hadn’t recognized Seigen . . . there would have been a terrible rampage.
“Senior, what do we do? Do we start the operation?”
“What?”
“If we just kill Hikari and leave like planned . . . .”
“You crazy bastard! Do you know who that target is?! She’s Seigen’s granddaughter! Do you think you can kill his granddaughter in front of Seigen and get away with it?!”
Kiryu shouted, his voice rising.
‘𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙙 𝙁𝙤𝙭 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙤 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙛 𝙬𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚.’
And then they would testify, ‘We have nothing to do with the <Yamaguchi-gumi>.’
He had almost lost his special unit itself by falling for the old men’s scheme.
Even if he succeeded in assassinating Hikari, that would be a problem in its own right.
Hayakawa Seigen is a master.
Even if you erase all the evidence and destroy all traces, will you really be able to escape his eyes?
‘𝘽𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨, 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 20 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨. 𝙄𝙛 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 20 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 . . . .’
It was difficult.
No, it wasn’t just difficult, it could end the organization if he made a mistake.
Each and every one of them was a superhuman.
Kiryu decided to organize his thoughts first.
“Can’t we just not go after her?”
“. . .Don’t let anyone follow her. If they notice us acting strange, we’re screwed.”
“I understand . . . .”
The target was too bad for a member of the same organization to take revenge on.
Seigen’s love for his granddaughter is a famous story in the society.
‘𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙃𝙞𝙠𝙖𝙧𝙞. 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚.’
Kiryu was at the point where he had to compare his face in the organization with his own life.
Of course, his life was more important than his face . . . .
At that moment, another subordinate contacted him.
“What’s up?”
━Captain. While checking out suspicious people in the vicinity, we accidentally encountered another organization.
“Damn it! I told you not to get caught!”
━I’m sorry. But we didn’t get caught, they just noticed us . . . .
The subordinate answered hesitantly.
Kiryu’s head was throbbing with the unexpected situation.
He had just wanted to kill an HSIU Hunter and slip away in the confusion, but how had things gotten so twisted?
“So what happened? Did you fight?”
━That’s . . . .
“Speak clearly!”
━The boss of the other organization wants to see you, Captain.
“What?!”
Kiryu doubted his own ears.
Things were getting weirder and weirder.
“Who is the boss of the organization?”
━He says his name is ‘Jiang Chen’ from Hong Kong.
