Kaito felt like they were going round and round in the conversation. Whenever he said something, Ayumi would find a way to bring it back to the topic of her unrequited love. She twisted the dire situation of the Shadow Brotherhood into one where she was the victim of circumstances. 

Furthermore, she seemed to feel like all her wrongs had to be forgiven because she could not get together with Kaito. Her stubbornness and unwillingness to accept her mistakes clearly meant that she did not care about her actions. 

How could Kaito accept that?

In his opinion, Ayumi did not love him as she claimed. Or at least, if she once loved him, that love had become twisted and convoluted into something else. Something dark… The emotions on her face did not match the words of apparent love coming out of her mouth. 

It was not like Kaito wanted the woman to like him. He just did not like the manipulation of her blaming him for everything bad that happened to her. He would not be lenient.

"You are from now banned from all the business relating to the Shadow Brotherhood," Kaito said coldly, disregarding the earlier confession. 

Ayumi laughed. "You are banning me from that useless place? I will tell you now. I do not care about it, and I have never cared for it. You gave it to me as a consolation prize because you did not have the guts to be with me." 

"And you should know that I only took the place because I know you care about it. Look at you. Even now when it is nothing but trash, you are still thinking of your beloved Shadow Brotherhood. You are too sentimental, Kaito." 

She downed the drink in her glass and looked at him with darkness in her eyes. "I hoped that holding the so-called Brotherhood over your head would cause you to return to me. But you are quite the stubborn one when you want." 

"The destruction of the group is good too. Perhaps, you will experience a fraction of the pain I have lived with for all these years. If I could, I would take that little girlfriend of yours and flay her before killing her. Maybe you could understand what heartbreak means." 

Kaito was incredibly angry, but he did not burst out. He simply felt that his feelings of comradeship were completely dead with the words that Ayumi spoke. 

He did not care if it was just venting or if she was simply inebriated after drinking too much whiskey. His bottom line was Akira. The fact that she could say something like that meant that she had been thinking about it. It had just surfaced at this moment. 

He stood up. "The next time we meet we will be irreconcilable enemies. I hope you can stay out of my way because I will not show mercy again." 

He drew the lines with Akira. With this action, he had already decided to summon all the members of the Shadow Brotherhood. He would make it clear that Ayumi was no longer a member of the group. 

Furthermore, he would present a solution for the future for his mercenaries. He was already formulating a plan in his mind, but he needed to solidify everything completely before moving forward. For now, he just wanted to leave the scene. 

"Do you think you can leave so easily after coming here?" Ayumi stood up with madness in her eyes. 

"What do you mean?" Kaito asked with narrowed eyes. 

Ayumi chuckled before she lifted her hand and let out a sharp whistle. 

Within a few moments, a group of tough-looking people entered the club. They looked similar to the two men who were guarding Ayumi\'s VIP section. Kaito could guess that these individuals were probably members of whatever gang had welcomed Ayumi. 

His eyes became narrow as he saw them clearing out the club. They chased away the partygoers who protested with vehemence. However, it seemed that some were not unfamiliar with this type of occurrence. After a few seconds, the club was empty. 

"Is this how you want things to end?" Kaito asked Ayumi. 

Ayumi laughed. "Everything ended a long time ago. You have already forgotten everything we have been through after these years. Why should I let you go free? Perhaps, I will keep you as my pet once you are captured." 

Kaito realised that Ayumi was not going to make things easy for the both of them. She just wanted to find trouble with him. Her mind was no longer clear. 

"So be it. If this is your choice, I am not afraid of these few people." His eyes rested on the people who looked like they were rearing for a fight. 

"I know you are quite skilled, Kaito. But do you think that you can beat all these people?" Ayumi said carelessly. 

Kaito did not respond. He jumped right in the middle of the crowd that wanted to take him down. If it was before, he might have had trouble beating the twenty or so people because they seemed well trained. He might have needed to use a few tricks.

However, his training with Taiki had changed him completely. 

He could take twice the number before him without breaking a sweat. He lifted a leg and kicked out at three people consecutively. These people stumbled back and pushed the ones behind them, but they stabilised quite quickly with the help of their companions. 

Even though the yakuza dealt with firearms, most of them had great hand-to-hand combat skills. Therefore, they would not be finished off like ordinary people. Still, Kaito made a quick work of them with a few kicks, punches and chops. 

Once he finished, he looked at Ayumi with murderous eyes. 

She backed away a little in fear as she understood the situation would not go as expected. This was not a Kaito she recognised. She had known him for countless years, but she had never seen him fight like he was doing at that moment. The aura and the moves were completely different. 

If before she was not a match for him, at this moment, she could no longer be mentioned in the same breath. He was too powerful. 

She felt regret envelop her like a dark cloud. Her mind cleared up from the alcoholic haze as she faced him with fear in her eyes. Ultimately, she was someone who valued self-preservation. She did not want to die just like that. 

She was not one of those people who thought it was a beautiful thing to die at the hands of someone who they loved. She thought that being alive was the best because she would have a chance to strategize and get what she wanted. 

Otherwise, she would not have run away to the territory of one of her pursuers for protection when things went south. She was partly afraid of the prisoners she set free from the ground and the top assassins who blamed her for the fall of Shadow Brotherhood. 

In addition, she was also trying to hide from Kaito in case he returned and was angry with her. 

If she had known he had changed so much, she would not have let them become complete enemies. She would not have asked the thugs who were lying out cold on the floor to attack him. She would have played the pity card to explain the reason for her failure to protect the group. 

It was too late. 

Kaito threw a concealed flying knife directly at Ayumi. If it landed on her, it was a guarantee that it would end up in her death. His eyes did not have a shred of humanity or sympathy in them as he made the move. 

Ayumi was dazed, so she did not have enough time to dodge. When she thought she would die, a shot was fired and the trajectory of the knife changed. Just like that, Ayumi was saved from certain death. Ayumi and Kaito looked in the direction from which the shot had been fired. 

The person who fire the shot was a man in a maroon suit. He looked suave but calm. He was quite handsome by all standards, and his aura was quite majestic. His eyes looked at Ayumi with a hint of something hidden. 

Kaito noticed the subtle look on his face and frowned. It did not look like the man was deeply in love with Ayumi as he expected. In fact, there were no emotions of love or even concern in his eyes as he looked at the woman. 

This realisation made Kaito a little cautious. 

If this was the person who had welcomed Ayumi to his territory, the matter could not be simple. 

"I am Yagi Seiryo." The man said with a nod towards Kaito. "I apologise, but I cannot allow you to kill someone in my territory." 

Kaito\'s eyes became deeper. He did not speak immediately. 

"I am under the keen eye of a special task force at the moment. So, cleaning up the incident would be a bit troublesome." The man continued. 

"Yagi!" Ayumi shouted in horror. 

She did not expect him to give such a reason for not allowing Kaito to kill her. It made her feel completely worthless to the man she believed was irrevocably in love with her. Even though he feared Kaito, he should not throw her under the bus. 

Kaito thought about the situation for a moment before nodding. 

"It is not necessary for me to kill her anyway." He said casually before buttoning up his coat. "Thank you for your hospitality." 

From Kaito\'s perspective, he did not need to make an enemy of this Yagi, at least until he understood the hidden motives.
