Capítulo 64: Unforeseen Obstacles
Sayo and Lawrence had joined forces with a sinister goal in mind: to defeat their sworn enemies, the Shikimori family. They believed that by kidnapping Michan, a member of the Shikimori clan, they could gain the upper hand and use him as leverage to blackmail the powerful family into submission. Little did they know, their meticulously crafted plan was about to unravel.
In a dimly lit warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Sayo and Lawrence paced nervously, their faces masked by shadows. They huddled together, whispering their sinister intentions.
Sayo: (whispering) "Lawrence, this is our chance. Once we have Michan, the Shikimori family will have no choice but to bow down to us."
Lawrence: (nodding) "You're right, Sayo. This plan is flawless. We've got the upper hand this time."
Their excitement was palpable, but little did they know that their world was about to be turned upside down. Just as they prepared to put their plan into action, a disheveled figure stumbled into the warehouse. It was one of their henchmen, bruised and battered.
Henchman: (panting) "Bosses, you won't believe what just happened. Someone... someone defeated our 40 gangsters singlehandedly!"
Sayo and Lawrence exchanged alarmed glances. Their plan had hinged on overwhelming force, and the news of their gang being defeated was a crushing blow.
Sayo: (angrily) "What? Who could have done such a thing?"
Henchman: (wincing) "I couldn't see their face clearly, but they were like a whirlwind of destruction. They took them all down without breaking a sweat."
Lawrence: (frustrated) "This can't be happening! We need to find out who this person is and deal with them before they ruin everything."
The henchman reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled photograph, handing it to Sayo and Lawrence. In the dim light of the warehouse, they squinted to make out the image. It was a picture of a young boy, seemingly in his late teens, with strikingly similar features to Amane, the person Sayo had killed 15 years ago. However, there was something different about his eyes, something that made Sayo's heart skip a beat.
Henchman: (nervously) "Bosses, this is the guy who defeated our gang. He goes by the name Izumi. Looks a lot like Amane, doesn't he?"
Sayo's hands trembled as she stared at the photograph. Memories of that fateful night resurfaced, memories she had tried to bury for years. Amane had been her target, and she had carried out the order to eliminate him without hesitation. But now, this boy, Izumi, bore an uncanny resemblance to the person she thought she had killed.
Sayo: (whispering to herself) "No, it can't be... Amane."
Lawrence noticed the fear in Sayo's eyes and the turmoil within her. He leaned in, his voice low and urgent.
Lawrence: (concerned) "Sayo, are you alright?"
Sayo: (shaking her head) "I... I thought I killed him, Lawrence. But those eyes... they're different. We need to find out who this Izumi is and what connection he has to Amane."
She turned to the henchman with a steely determination.
Sayo: (firmly) "You, go find out everything you can about Izumi. Who he is, where he comes from, and why he's here. If there's any link to Amane, we need to know it."
Henchman: (nodding) "Understood, boss."
With a newfound sense of urgency, the henchman hurried out of the warehouse, leaving Sayo and Lawrence to grapple with the unsettling revelation. The past had resurfaced in a way they could never have anticipated, and it threatened to shatter the fragile foundations of their meticulously crafted plan.
Amane and Mihuru were seated in a cozy little café, sipping their coffee and enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. The world outside seemed to fade away as they shared this precious time together.
Mihuru: (with a faint smile) "Amane, what if... what if my mother, Sayo, tries to do something again? I'm worried about you."
Amane placed his hand gently on Mihuru's, his eyes filled with warmth and determination.
Amane: (softly) "Mihuru, you don't need to worry. I'm not just a film star in this world; I'm also a first-generation legend. I've faced countless challenges, and I've always come out on top. I promise you, I'll protect everyone, including you and your mother. You have my word."
Mihuru's worries began to melt away as she looked into Amane's reassuring eyes. She leaned in and hugged him tightly.
Mihuru: (whispering) "Please, Amane, promise me you won't fake your death again. It broke my heart the last time. I can't bear to lose you."
Amane held Mihuru close, his embrace filled with love and sincerity.
Amane: (whispering back) "I promise, Mihuru. I won't do anything like that again. You mean the world to me, and I'll always be here for you, no matter what."
Their embrace lingered, a silent vow exchanged between two hearts that beat as one. In that moment, amidst the chatter of the café and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, their love and trust deepened, binding them together in a promise of protection and enduring love.
