Chapter 547 - THE MAN WHO COULD BE KING

When Akira and Kaito arrived at the high rise building with the Floating Pavilion at its top, they understood the choice made by Bonnie and Clyde immediately. Even though Akira had been to the restaurant, she had never paid attention to the features in the distance. 

In the dark night, the words 'Crystal Plaza' were particularly prominent. 

"You will stay in the vehicle the whole time." Kaito looked at Akira strictly as soon as Jungle parked the car outside the building. 

Akira knew it was not convenient for her to move around with her current body. Therefore, she did not plan on insisting on following Kaito into the building. However, she could not resist rolling her eyes at his strict voice. 

"And you will wear this earbud the whole time." Akira took out two minute earbuds from her purse. She put one in her ear and put the other in Kaito's ear.. 

The two of them looked at each other for a long moment before they leaned for a long kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of trust and reliance on each other. After the kiss, they placed their foreheads against each other for a long moment. 

"If anything happens to you, you will see how I will deal with you." Akira threatened. 

"Your husband is always invincible," Kaito said. "Remain in the car. Jungle will protect you." 

"With my life," Jungle added to remind the two people that he was in the vehicle with them. 

After another peck, Kaito stepped out of the car. He looked as suave as he always did, but the look in his eyes was serious. If one looked too deep, they would notice the aura of death that he carried around him. He seemed ready to execute. 

He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to the top floor. He contemplated what he would say to the two people who had once worked for his Shadow Brotherhood. However, he could not think of anything. 

He did not understand the innate working of their minds. 

"Do you have a reservation, sir?" The hostess asked as Kaito left the elevator and walked to the reception area. 

Kaito smiled at the hostess. "No. I am only here for a short moment. My friends are celebrating their anniversary today, and I would like to say a word of congratulations."

The hostess blushed at the handsome look on Kaito's face. "Oh, I know that couple. They are really excited about being here. I think it is fine if you enter. If you need another table, I can make arrangements." 

"Thank you," Kaito said before entering the restaurant area. 

Akira snorted on the other end of the com line. "Shameless, flirtatious fox." 

"How was that flirting? I was merely being polite." Kaito spoke back in a low voice. 

"Your voice sounded like it was coated with honey," Akira complained. 

"Thanks, dear." Kaito teased flirtatiously. "I have spotted them." 

Kaito walked towards the westward facing window area in the Floating Pavilion. He could see the couple leaning close to one another with cute expressions. They were holding hands across the table and whispering to each other. 

As expected, the Crystal Plaza was in their background. 

Kaito pulled a chair from another table and put it next to their table. They looked up, startled at the interruption. Moreover, they looked displeased that someone would cut short their well-planned date. 

"If it isn't our old boss…" Bonnie said. 

Bonnie was not a beautiful woman. Her face was a little plain and unmemorable. However, she had put a lot of effort to look good for the date. 

"We will not invite you to join us for dinner. It is our anniversary, and we would appreciate privacy." Clyde said with anger in his eyes. 

He did not like their former boss because of his striking face. It was an injustice to the world that people like him who had ordinary looks had to compete with this type of man. His possessiveness over Bonnie rose as he saw the woman looking at Kaito. 

Actually, Bonnie was not trying to flirt with Kaito. She did not like him in that way. For her, Clyde was everything. 

However, as Akira always said, Kaito did have a very alluring fox face. It was not handsome in a celestial way like Zhong Feng. When most people saw Zhong Feng, they would not dare to take a second glance because it was like looking directly at the sun. He was an immortal who could not be violated. 

As for Kaito, he was like an evil spirit, the reincarnation of a nine-tailed seductive fox. One look into his wicked eyes, and a person would feel like they were being drawn into an abyss. He was like the personification of temptation. 

It was not strange for Bonnie to stare for a few more seconds. 

The hand around Bonnie's tightened, and the pain caused her to look away from Kaito. She looked at Clyde's cloudy face in question. He did not say anything. He turned back to Kaito with a warning in his eyes. 

"Why are you here, Kaito?" Clyde asked. 

"You know why I am here." Kaito paused while looking from one to another. "I thought a few months in the Ground would have helped you clear your minds." 

Clyde laughed. "You are here to stop us?" 

Kaito frowned. "I have stopped you before." 

Bonnie's sharp eyes looked at Kaito with derision. "You did not stop us. If anything, you made us stronger. While you kept us locked in that hole, we discovered that you were suppressing our potential. We realised that we are so much more than you allowed us to do." 

"You are a man lacking vision, Kaito," Clyde added. "You have always had the power to convince people to do whatever you wanted. But you have never understood how to harness that power. You could be king, but you chose to be an ordinary man." 

The statement held both envy and contempt. Clyde wished that he had the mysterious hypnotic power that Kaito held to lead dangerous criminals to do his bidding. He also looked down at Kaito for choosing his missions with care and always acting so cautiously. 

On the other end of the com line, Akira listened and narrowed her eyes. As expected, like most narcissistic people, Bonnie and Clyde seemed to have deep-seated insecurities. Otherwise, they would not be holding that type of resentment towards Kaito. 

Perhaps, she could use this matter to deal with them.
