Chapter 184: Intentions, Purity and Kage
_________ POV Narration _________
"Remember Hiroshi, you gotta become strong in order to protect yourself!" Ken spoke out as he brought his chopsticks down grabbed yet another piece of perfectly fried chicken and brought it to his mouth.
His family sat at the table and ate quietly and in a somewhat restrained manner. Hiroshi only nodded with a rather scared expression on his face.
Ken's earlier display did wonders in putting fear in their hearts.
But that was very much Ken's intention. At the end of the day, that violence was his identity for the longest time.
He needed his 'biological' family to understand that. The type of man he was. But also the type of man he had become.
He killed without blinking, not that he was able to. He killed without hesitation, and most importantly, he didn't let anyone who slighted him off easily.
These very obvious implications did wonders in making his biological parents very uncomfortable.
But at the same time, Ken also sent the clear message that he didn't wish to kill them... Because if he did, they'd already be dead.
