Chapter 128

  • Sakamo touched the phone and put the call over the loudspeaker. The worried voice of the Empress shouted, “Ryu! Are you alright? Your driver raised the alarm! What's happening?” “I am alright, my Empress. At least for the moment . I came to meet Hangaku-chan's parents, and things got a little dangerous. Her father bribed me to get away from Hangaku, and he got angry when I accepted his cheque and invited Hangaku-chan to live with me. He called two of his security guys to recover his cheque and probably to beat me up. I was forced to call for help." "The nerve of that bastard! I am so going to ruin him! When I am finished with him, he won't have anywhere to flee to and no one to call for help! I am going to kill him! Wait for me, Ryu! I will be there as fast as I can!"Sakamo grinned while looking at the pale Hangaku Tomikasa. “You don't need to come, my Empress. We are perfectly capable of getting rid of any security guys that Tomikasa-san calls. As for ruining him, I think that's too drastic, considering he is the father of the Princess's boyfriend, remember? Perhaps you can have a nice private talk with Tomikasa-san next Thursday at that fundraising event. I am sure there will be an opportunity for you to catch him there with no one noticing him being strangled." The Empress took a deep breath, and her voice sounded relieved. "Yes, I can do that. Are you sure you are alright? I don't need to worry? Because I almost had a heart attack when they told me that you pressed the danger button!" "Judging by the pale face that Tomikasa-san has and the fact that Hangaku-san is about to faint, I guess we can say they are not going to try anything. I tried to warn him he was underestimating me, but he didn't believe in me." "Yes, people tend to do that. I wonder why? Wait, perhaps because you don't tell anything about you? Call me when you get home, okay?" "I will, my Empress. I am sorry for scaring you." "You are going to be sorry, alright, just you wait!" Sakamo put the phone back in his pocket again with a frown. "She is going to punish me for worrying her, for sure. So, what do you intend to do now, Tokimasa-san? Do you want to call more of your guys, or shall we end the night here before someone dies? I have another idea.Would you mind writing another cheque for me with the same amount? As payment for annoying me so much, and to be sure, I will stop the Empress from ruining you." "You... are blackmailing me?" "No, of course not, because that would be a crime! You are just going to pay in advance for my services so that you don't face the Empress's rage. She is always calm and nice, and for her to be like that, you definitely made her angry, and she might use her influence in the government to cause your company a lot of problems. Maybe that Board of Directors of yours starts to think it would be better if they removed you from your position as the President of the company, to stop the repercussions of what you did here. I suppose another cheque is a small penalty to pay for your behaviour."Hangaku Tomikasa slowly went for his jacket again and wrote another cheque. While giving it, he glanced at the knife that Sakamo was still holding and threatened, “You may have the upper hand here, but don't you think this is over.” Sakamo grabbed the cheque and smiled at the number on it. “Oh, this is over, alright, because next time, you won't be this lucky. Not even the Gods Izanagi and Izanami will be able to help you.” Sakamo looked directly at Hangaku Tomikasa and noticed his left eye twitching when he heard those names while trying his best to look as if he had never heard them. He then walked around the table while looking at the serious Tokimasa and leaned near the scared Hangaku Say. " I will give you fair warning, Say-kun. The moment you make my sweet little sister sad, I will come for you, and you will not like my visit.Learn how to shut your mouth, because most of what happened here was because you babbled too much about what the Princess told you about me. You need to think of a good excuse because tomorrow she will ask you what happened and what you did." Hangaku Say slowly nodded and spoke in a low voice, "I… I am sorry, I never guessed…" Sakamo put one hand on his left shoulder and squeezed it a little. "Nevertheless, you caused most of this. I am sure the Princess warned you not to tell anyone about me, especially your parents. I am sure she warned you not to talk about your relationship with her because your parents could use it to further their agenda. You need to be better than your father, Say- kun. Think about all the consequences before you act or say anything."Sakamo offered his arm to Hangaku Mae with a slight smile while looking at Tomikasa from the corner of his eyes. "Shall we go? I can ask someone to come here to get your things, or you can buy new ones. Your father gently gave us a tonne of money for our future expenses." Hangaku Mae grabbed his arm with a big smile and vigorously nodded. "Yes, let's get out of here! See you later, mother! Bye, Say! Father, shame on you!" Hangaku Tokimasa clenched his teeth while his eyes were shooting daggers at Sakamo. When they were near the driver, Sakamo looked at the angry father and said, “Be a nice father-in-law and have another cheque ready for us next month, will you? Consider it a marriage present, if you want ." "You keep on pushing me, Sakamo Ryu, when you have no idea what I am capable of!" "Actually,you are the one that doesn't know what I am capable of. You only know what I let you know. Don't worry, we will meet again, and you will have time to get ready for our next encounter. Although next time , I will leave with a lot more than a cheque." Sakamo made a slight bow to the pale woman who was hugging her younger son, who was sobbing. "It was nice to meet you, Hangaku-san. I am sorry if this meeting didn't go as you were expecting, but you have your husband to thank for that." Sakamo left with Hangaku clinging to his arm, and his driver backed away, still aiming his guns at the security guys in pain on the floor. He closed the door when exiting, and Hangaku Tokimasa punched the table. His wife looked at him trembling, because every time he got that angry, she was always the one on the other side of his rage.As for Sakamo, he followed his driver, who was glancing at their backs, checking if they were being followed or not. Sakamo opened the door for Hangaku, and the driver went to the driver's seat, still looking at the main door. As the car approached the main gate, Hangaku Mae was in silence, feeling nervous. Sakamo was looking through the back window to check if someone was coming from the main door, holding a gun of some sort to stop them. The main gate was already open, and they left without any incident. While they were already driving on the main road, the driver pressed the display on his dashboard and said a few words, calling off the reinforcements. Hangaku made a slight smile towards Sakamo, and her face went pale when she saw two cars approaching from a side road and following them. Sakamo tapped her trembling hand and said,"They are friends. Don't worry. It seems the reinforcements that my driver called were almost arriving at your house, and they are now escorting us. Those guys don't fool in service; your father would be done for if they arrived before we left." Hangaku bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "That is not my father, that's just a monster disguised as a Human being. Be careful, Sakamo-kun, he will seek revenge." "Oh, I am counting on that. It was one of the reasons why I annoyed him so much. I want him to get angry, to the point where he can only see red in front of him. Like that, he will not think straight, he will make all sorts of plans to get me, and he will give me a good excuse to defend myself." Hangaku looked at him with a surprised look. "The way you are speaking,you sound as if you want to end him!" "No, I think I won't do that, but I know someone that will like to get her hands around your father's neck." Hangaku made a slight smile. "You are talking about the Empress, right?" "No, someone even more threatening than the Empress would ever be. I am more worried about you. Don't you think the media will damage your chances of success the moment they find out you left your house to live with me?" "I seriously doubt that my mother will let them know. She is very proud and image is everything to her. There is no way she will allow anyone to say something about what happened there. Not to mention my father . He will pay, bribe, or blackmail anyone that tries to make any news about it. You were really something.I seriously thought you were going to accept my father's money and leave me!" "Sorry, but he was asking for it. The nerve of that guy, trying to buy me like that! It was also nice that the Empress called; it gave me a good reason to ask for more money. I don't know if you will be able to go home to get your School uniform, books, and clothes. We may need to buy everything." Hangaku felt her phone vibrating and looked at the screen. She made a sad face and said, “My mother says that tomorrow she will send everything that I need to your house. She might come to visit us one day to see how I am doing. I don't know how she will put up with my father without me. I used to always be on her side because he can be a douchebag sometimes." "What about your brother? Will he be alright?" "Yeah,that brat is my father's favourite, I am not worried about him. What I am worried about is sleeping all alone in a new house. I may try to convince you to let me sleep in your room, considering that you have two single beds. "Sakamo smiled while holding her hand. “Whatever makes you sleep better, Hangaku-chan.” Hangaku felt her heart skipping a beat, and she hid her redness and dirty thoughts by looking through the window. That would be a great opportunity, and she would be a fool for sure if she didn't grab it with both hands.…”Hangaku felt her heart skipping a beat, and she hid her redness and dirty thoughts by looking through the window.
