章節 543: Head of the Snake (1)

Daichi's eyes widened in worry as he saw his father step out of the van, he looked behind him expectantly, hoping, praying to see that Ken was okay.

It was then that he saw the beaten up and frail figure of Ken unconscious in the van, leaning up against the walls.

In a flash, he ran forward grabbing his brother tightly and pulling him into his embrace. Tears began to stream down his face as relief washed over him.

"Ouch." Ken mumbled, rousing from his sleep.

Daichi flinched, realizing that he might be hugging him too tight.

"Ken… Are you okay?" He asked, moving back and checking him over. Daichi couldn't help but suck in a cold breath of air after seeing the extent of the bruises and lacerations on Ken's body.

"I'll survive." He muttered hoarsely, looking around briefly, almost like he was half asleep. "Where's Ai?"

At the mention of her name, Ai appeared in his vision, her face filled with fresh tears.
