Chapter 485 - DO NOT RESIST

The more displeasing thing was the instantaneous change in Kaito's status after he left the Training Centre. Under normal circumstances, he should have struggled under the thumb of the Iekami clan. However, with his uncle's support, he had become wealthier than most families without any work. 

This matter made those who worked for every coin like the boss angry. If he compared his hard life with this outsider, he would die from a heart attack. 

"What do you want?" The boss asked with annoyance. 

Regardless of the thing Kaito wanted, he would charge an exorbitant price. Lucky people like Kaito needed to share their wealth, or their arrogance would not be controlled. 

"Naturally, I want the rarest of your commodities." Kaito's wicked eyes blazed. 

"I should have guessed it. Even though you have been welcomed into the fold by the Iekami clan, they are not willing to share the good stuff." The boss laughed. 

His loud laughter exposed a few golden teeth and made his already ugly appearance deplorable. He felt like he was vindicated when he realised that Kaito had some difficulties. With that, a petty plan hatched in his mind. 

He would not tell Kaito that his batch was filled with impurities. At the very least, that handsome appearance of his would change into something bad. The impurities in the rare material would not only cause internal injuries but would also change the appearance of a person. 

Kaito was a well-trained individual, so his physique would probably not sustain damage from the rare material. However, he could not escape the other effects. 

The thought came to him naturally because destroying appearances was a petty inclination of this underworld boss. He was not originally a handsome guy who could turn all heads. However, he was quite popular among women who liked a tough, gladiator-like man. 

But after he consumed the bad batch of the material, he lost his original appeal. How could he be comfortable when looking at a pretty boy like Kaito? He wanted to cut off his prospects with women permanently. 

Also, this boss was a secret fan of Nicole Jiang, so he always listened to rumours about the lady with care. It was an embarrassing thing, so no one knew about it, not even his closest confidantes. To him, Nicole was a warrior princess. 

They did not have interactions, but on one occasion, she mistakenly thought he was being bullied. He was training his men in an old warehouse, and Nicole was newly chosen as a future Guardian. It was one of her first patrols, so she was enthusiastic and filled with righteous fighting power. 

Seeing a bunch of men attacking him, she rushed in and stopped his subordinates. The situation was quite awkward, but the underworld boss was touched. From that moment, Nicole became like a goddess in his eyes. 

How could he tolerate the man before him? The goddess had expressed her good intentions, yet the fool refused to accept her. It was unacceptable. This matter could not go on unquestioned and unanswered. He had to avenge his goddess.

Kaito looked at the boss before him with a wicked glint. He could see that the man had evil intentions, but he did not care. He did not believe there was a trick in the book that he did not know. In any case, the merchandise was not for him. 

"Cut to the chase. Do you have it?" Kaito asked.

The boss was annoyed, but he tried to control himself when he remembered that his plan was destroying that face. 

"I do have it, but you should understand that the cost is not low." The boss smiled hypocritically. "You know it is not a matter of money only. Finding the stuff is challenging because it is monopolised by the aristocrats." 

Kaito's cold eyes looked penetratingly at the ugly face. He knew that the man was trying to take advantage of his lack of knowledge to bring up the price. He respected the efforts, but he did not have time to play. 

"State your price. And do not try to cheat me. I have already found how much the Johnson, Muller, Suleiman and Chen families spent on their batches. I am also aware that your commodity has impurities, so do not try to inflate the price based on the quality." Kaito said without giving any face. 

The boss felt cold and a little afraid. He seemed to have underestimated this Kaito. He thought that the man was unfamiliar with Martial Island. Who would have known that he had already checked up on those lower-middle families? 

Moreover, those families now had injured and even one dead member due to the rare material. Why was Kaito still willing to spend money on it? The question caused the boss to feel a bit of a chill. He did not dare to think about the implications. 

About thirty minutes later, Kaito walked out of the Infernal Casino with a satisfied smile on his face. 

Unfortunately, the smile did not last for long because he found himself face to face with a masked man as he reached his car. He felt a sense of déjà vu as he faced the figure wearing black from head to toe. Parking lots were his unlucky spots. 

The strange man did not attack him. Instead, he opened the back of a large black van and gestured for Kaito to enter. Kaito almost laughed in anger. He did not know the thoughts of his would-be kidnapper. Why would he enter a nondescript black van willingly?

"Do not resist. You are being rescued." The man spoke up, but the mask distorted his voice. 

"What?" Kaito's eyes widened a little. 

He was not gullible, but the words caught his attention. Currently, he was still a prisoner on Martial Island. He did not know the identity of the man before him or if there was an actual intention of rescue. However, anything that got him away from Martial Island was better. 

Still, he was a little cautious. 

"I said you are being rescued." The man spoke louder. "Your friend or family probably paid a high price to set you free. Do not dilly dally." 

Kaito shrugged. "Ok." 

"Really?" The strange man was surprised that his pitch was successful. 

He did not plan on using force because he was not sure he could defeat Kaito. But he had prepared a long speech to convince him to enter the van. 

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Kaito was amused. 

The man cleared his throat with embarrassment, but he did not respond. He watched Kaito entering the van before closing the door. He sighed in relief as he locked the door. He did not want to take chances of the mission failing.
