"I send him the report as we speak and I set an appointment between Saturo Nomura and you tomorrow night at Kindoragon Restaurant."

Nomura Family was the third biggest Yakuza Family and they are famous for their violence. Unfortunately, their Oyabun which is Saturo Nomura is old and sick after the last a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on him last year during his birthday celebration right after he visited the Ryōsen-ji Temple for a blessing. The most shocking news about his attack was the mastermind behind it was his own nephew after he announced he would not choose his successor based on blood-related but he wanted it based on their influence in the family. If that happens, the successor would be Mori Kairo the man in charge for the strongest branch family. He controlled the human trafficking business throughout Asia and Europe.

Mori Kairo was a complete stranger, but he joined Nomura Family after his family abandoned him because of his s.e.xuality. He sold his own body until he successfully opened a bar and from there his influence booming because of the entire secret he collected from his clients. When they realise the power Mori holds over them, they tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him but Saturo offered him protection and since that Mori becomes Saturo right hand.

Touma wants all the information Mori offered but because of Mori is very loyal to Saturo, he needs to gain Saturo backing first before he aims for Mori.

He must be careful and discreet when involved himself with Mori. No dirt on him able to escape from Mori if they are working together and once Mori had something on someone, he will use as he pleased. That is why Kahina is out of the question when he comes out with this plan.

"Prepare everything for tomorrow. Whatever we do, Saturo must be on our side."

"Yes. Young Master." He walked away, leaving Touma still leaning on the tree unmoved. He felt empty and lonely without her laughter and tease. He doesn't know when he started to have these feelings but it tortured to him. Kahina bubbly att.i.tude with the sweetest smile always run to him now gone and the thought of living without Kahina presence once again scared him. He felt the same when Kahina in hospital but he thought it was because of the guilt not because of love. Now, he is clear with his feeling after the kiss two days ago. He never felt the urge to hold her as strong as last time. The way her face blushed and the watery eyes pleaded to him, it took every power in his body to remain stoned that night. If he acted to her advance, he can't imagine what he would do to her.

"Send Kahina a bouquet of roses. And book a flight to Hawaii next week."

"Do you want to leave any note to her?" He nodded and immediately pa.s.sed him a card. Once Ando received it, Ando nodded but a little confused. It is not his place to question Touma but what Touma gave him; he can't comprehend it at all.

[I'm sorry but I need my yellow box.]

What was his Young Master's thinking by sending her this kind of message? Ando was clueless with Touma behaviour. If he wanted to push her away, he is not doing a good job, didn't he? And if he wanted her to stay, what was the point of looking for a bride? Can anyone explain to him? Ando kept on pestering at Touma since their last meeting with n.o.bu to explained why Touma was so sudden to look for a wife but the only answer he gave Ando was he was not looking for a wife but a bride. What is the difference between those two? Finally, Ando decided to just let it go. Touma was being Touma. If he wanted to explain, he would explain long ago when Ando asked, but if he doesn't, then nothing can make him open his mouth.

"No digital evident about that message. For the trip to Hawaii, I'll be going alone. You will stay and run the company on my behalf. If people ask, tell them I'm sick and I want none audience."

"How long you will go?"

"Two weeks but tell Oyabun the truth. I don't want him to take any unnecessary action."

"I'll prepare everything for your trip."

"Ando, I need to go unseen so inform no one there about it." He stood up, brushed off the dirt, then walked to the farmhouse and followed by Ando with no word.

Ando can't help but worry about Touma's trip to Hawaii. Their power is prominent there, but the situation is unstable. For Touma to go invisible with no backup would be too dangerous but Ando can't disobey him, thus he followed his order.
