His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Kaito frowned at the words. He did not know much about this person who he had met only hours ago. He had commissioned an investigation about him because of his earlier attitude. However, the surface information he received did not point to his motives. 

From what he gleaned from the reports, Yagi Seiryo was born to someone in the local yakuza. His life was not unusual for a normal boy raised in the ranks of a crime syndicate. However, his power had risen quite quickly. 

Within the last few years, Yagi took over the gangs in all of the yakuza territory and consolidated his power quite well. At the moment, he was considered one of the most powerful men in the underworld within the country. 

His rise to success meant that the man could be considered a model star in the mafia world. 

Kaito found it more curious that Yagi would get involved with Ayumi after the mess she had created in the underworld. The person did not seem like the kind who would become blinded by lust and become a worthless leader. 

Furthermore, the way he looked at Ayumi did not seem to indicate love. He could not figure out the hidden intentions of this figure. But again, this Yagi did not seem to have any feelings of animosity towards him. 

Kaito nodded to the man who reported the information. "Let him come up." 

When the man left to bring in the guests, the three subordinates looked at Kaito with curiosity. They did not know the intentions behind Kaito's decisions. In their opinion, their leader had become more and more strange since he left Tokyo. 

It was only almost a year since Kaito stopped being active in the Shadow Brotherhood, but he was like a completely different person. 

"Find and bring in everyone. We will have a meeting tonight. Take note of the matters we have discussed. I hope you have committed all the information to your memory." Kaito tapped on the desk lightly as he looked at his subordinates. 

"Yes." They said in unison before leaving. 

Kaito looked at the piles of files on his desk with a hint of darkness. He had already decided on the fate of most of the mercenaries. He had decided to categorise the files into four piles to make sure that he ended the Shadow Brotherhood cleanly. 

The first pile was of the people he was going to bring to his side. He was not sure about the role he would have for them in the future. That matter would be decided as time went on. He could not deal with organising them. 

His immediate situation only allowed him to put almost all of his time on Akira and preparing for Little Precious. The time he had left after was hardly enough for dealing with the company matters and keeping an eye for rogue people who were after his family. 

Therefore, restructuring his private combat force with the people he chose from the Shadow Brotherhood needed to wait. 

The second pile were the mercenaries he planned on leaving alone to make their choices for their future. Some of the people who worked in the group were not suited for the hard-knock life or were ready to retire. These individuals probably stayed on due to their loyalty to him or their agreements in the past. 

He planned to officially release them from their contract with the Shadow Brotherhood, so they could pursue their interests. 

The third pile was like the formerly drunk man and his friends. These people had become disillusioned after they lost the Shadow Brotherhood which was like their home. Perhaps, for some of them, it was the only home they knew. 

They were not bad in terms of skill and personality. However, their mental fortitude was a little lacking. This problem could be easily managed by allowing them to be recruited into other groups that could provide stability. 

As for the fourth pile…

Kaito tapped on the small stack of materials with a cold light in his dark eyes. These were the people who had taken advantage of the period when the Shadow Brotherhood fell apart to do unacceptable things. 

Some even used his name and power. 

He did not care much about infighting and a competitive spirit. He also did not expect his vicious mercenaries to be little kittens when he was not around. He even supported active combat within the assassin ranks. 

However, those who oppressed innocent civilians or used their power to defraud random people without cause, he could not forgive. 

Without his presence and control, some had become like animals and acted without conscience. Even though they were killers, he insisted on a respectable code of conduct. He would not forbear the unspeakable deeds committed by mercenaries who were once part of his group. 

That fourth pile meant permanent destruction. 

He tidied up the desk put the piles of files properly before Yagi was brought to the office. After a few minutes, the man who reported the guest brought in Yagi to the office. Kaito dismissed the person before indicating for Yagi to come in. 

"I did not expect to see you again so soon, Mr Yagi," Kaito said evenly. 

His voice indicated no emotional fluctuations. He was a little indifferent to this yakuza leader who also maintained a calm façade. 

"I did not also plan on coming to see you so soon. However, the circumstances at hand necessitate the meeting." Yagi responded. "May I?" 

He asked before sitting down on the chair opposite Kaito's desk. He looked comfortable and was unaffected by the fact that he was technically in enemy territory.

"So, what can I do for you?" Kaito asked with a subtle smile. 

"I have just received news on Ayumi," Yagi said with a bit of mystery in his voice. 

"Oh, is that strange? I thought she was staying under your protection in your territory, Mr Yagi." Kaito said with some sarcasm. 

Yagi felt a little embarrassed. He had made an error in judgement by protecting Ayumi and letting her stay in his territory. He did not know that the woman would be so crazy as to attempt to capture Kaito using his subordinates. 

What made Yagi even angrier was the possible goal behind Ayumi's decision to keep Kaito at the hotel. He had long heard about Ayumi's unrequited love for Kaito. However, he did not want to think if Ayumi really intended to enslave and do unspeakable things to Kaito. 

Naturally, Kaito was not anyone's prey, but the very thought of that occurrence caused Yagi to feel like his skin was covered by goosebumps. 

He should not have attracted trouble by keeping that woman in his hotel. 

"I sent Ayumi on her way as soon as you left," Yagi said. "I apologise on behalf of my subordinates. I instructed them to assist her, but they should never have attacked you." 

Kaito narrowed his eyes. He could feel Yagi's goodwill towards him, but they had never crossed paths in the past. Kaito was certain about that. If they had, they would have met in their capacities as leaders in the underworld. 

It would be difficult not to remember someone from the underworld. 

"Is that so?" Kaito said with curiosity, but he did not ask anything directly. 

Yagi sighed and felt like he could not escape the situation of explaining everything clearly to Kaito. He had always known that he would meet Kaito, but he thought it would be under better circumstances. His lack of judgement had led to the awkward moment. 

"I helped Ayumi because I thought you were good friends and comrades. In other words, I allowed her into my territory on your account." He said clearly. 

"Oh, what gave you that idea?" Kaito asked. 

"Everyone knew through the rumour mill that she is your right-hand person. I saw her during an underground auction and thought it was a good opportunity. We talked for a little while, and she hinted your relationship was inseparable." Yagi explained with a heavy sigh. 

"We kept in contact on occasion, and I helped Ayumi resolve a few problems. Naturally, I did not interfere with the internal issues involving the Shadow Brotherhood. When you were thought missing or dead, she called me for help, and I let her move to my hotel." 

Kaito looked more closely at the man in front of him and tried to decipher him. Regardless of all the words he had said to explain the past, he did not explain his goals or purpose in coming to find him in the wee hours of the morning. 

"It is naturally your right to help those you wish to help," Kaito said. "But I fail to see how this has to do with me. Furthermore, you have not mentioned the news you received on Ayumi. You should get to the point. I am not a patient man." 

Yagi was not threatened by Kaito. Instead, his mouth stretched into a small smile as he remembered the reason he always looked forward to meeting with Kaito.. Though this person was the most dangerous assassin, he was also a soft-hearted person.
