His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 509 - PLANNING AND PLOTTING

As Kaito was cleaning up the intruders, Taiki came to the house with some of the guards responsible for taking care of the mountain. They looked beaten and bruised and even a little groggy, perhaps due to a drug. 

Taiki looked fine and calm as usual. 

"You missed all the action, Uncle," Kaito said with a lifted brow. 

Taiki was not bothered by the slight sarcasm. "This attack was well-orchestrated. I got word that some people were planning on attacking Akira's father. The news was probably released intentionally to lure me away from the mountain." 

Kaito became a little more serious. "Is my father-in-law alright?" 

Taiki looked flatly at his presumptuous nephew. Daiki might not be opposed to the relationship between Kaito and Akira, but it was a long way from complete acceptance. It was not a good in-law relationship at the moment. 

"As the rumours said, there were a few unsavoury characters who went to the Yamazaki home. However, they were not elite mercenaries. The guards around the property could have handled them with relative ease." Taiki said. 

"That is good." Kaito was relieved. 

Akira had suffered quite a lot because of the lack of love from her family. Therefore, she had become quite close with her father in recent days. If anything happened to Daiki, she would feel extremely distressed. Since Akira cared about him, Kaito would naturally protect him. 

"What about brother-in-law?" Kaito asked. 

"Seiji is in the medical research institute. He has been staying there with Akira's friend, Hina for the past couple of days. They are preparing for the first trial of a new medical device for comatose patients. The security at the institute is quite tough." Taiki responded. 

"You are quite well-informed," Kaito said. 

"Would you rather I did not know these things?" Taiki asked. 

Kaito laughed a little awkwardly. He was used to making fun of Taiki, so he sounded sarcastic all the time when talking to him. However, he respected this uncle because he had protected Akira time and again. The original grudge of the kidnapping was mostly forgiven. 

"What do you mean?" He said with a sly smile. "That is a genuine compliment. Your sharpness is appreciated."

"What do you want?" Taiki could see the machinations in Kaito's brains. 

Kaito did not talk to him directly. He turned to the apprehensive and bruised subordinates and felt like he had lost face. How could his most loyal people lose out to the scum he kicked out of the Shadow Brotherhood?

"Clean up the mess here. And triple your training. You are an embarrassment to me." He said with a dissatisfied voice. 

As the sad men started to clean up, Kaito and Taiki went to the study. Kaito's eyes were a little cold as he thought about the attack this time. He needed to make sure that people understood that this home was not a place any Tom, Dick and Harry could visit. 

"I need you to watch and protect Akira for the next few days," Kaito said with a serious look in his eyes. 

"Are you going to deal with the Shadow Brotherhood?" Taiki asked. "I assume this home intrusion had something to do with them. The person coordinating the attacks on Daiki was also a former member of your mercenary group." 

Kaito did not know if it was just him, or if Taiki was mocking him a little for failing to control his people. Although he no longer considered them his people, he was ashamed at what had become of the group he had built. 

"Yes." He responded directly. "I am going to deal with them, lest they ruin my good name. Bad name? Either way, the name Kaito cannot be associated with these types of creatures. I am going to destroy the Shadow Brotherhood." 

Taiki nodded in approval of the vigour displayed by his nephew. "You can count on me." 

Kaito smiled. "I will be back as soon as possible. I will not miss my first Christmas with Akira. You should both stay at the Yamazaki home. It will be easier to protect them at a single location, especially if the attackers are getting more creative." 

He was also a little worried about the matter Akira had mentioned. Even though he did not want to associate with the Takahashi family too deeply, it was a fact that he was now the Chairman of the Takahashi Corporation.

If he was not careful, the people from that bloodsucking family would show up in his home. They might cause a lot of trouble for Akira while he was away. He did not want to allow such an occurrence because Akira needed her rest. 

As the two people were discussing the situation more, a light knock came from the door before the entrance to the study opened. It was Akira. 

"What are you plotting?" She asked with a smile. 

"We are planning," Kaito said as he stood up and guided Akira to a chair. "Plotting is only for evil people." 

"I know what I said." Akira was unapologetic. 

"I would not call the plan evil. We are merely talking about cleaning up the Shadow Brotherhood. I will travel for a few days to the headquarters of the operations and deal with the rebellious idiots. It should not take too long." Kaito said. 

Akira nodded. "It is better to eliminate the problem from the roots." 

"You can stay with your father and my uncle during this period. Do not do anything excessive. If there is something tedious to do, ask Uncle. He is a very strong man." Kaito said with a strict look in his eyes. 

He could not help but worry for his little wife. She was tough and could stand her ground while facing Venom, who was quite the challenge. However, he did not want her to have to fight for herself. If he could, he would shield her from all storms. 

She rolled her eyes. "I know. I will be careful."

She needed to liaise with the Immortal Sword Brigade, particularly the Chief. She wanted to discuss the case and ensure proper completion. She did not plan on doing anything else. Her only worry was the people to whom the Chief reported. 

"You better be," Kaito insisted one more time. 

"You should also be careful," Akira said in a soft voice. "If anything happens to you, I will deal with you myself." 

Seeing these people showing off their love before him, Uncle Taiki stood up and left the room directly.
