Chapter 265 Erina: As Family, I Can't Watch You Go to Your Death
"You mean Saiba Asahi? Hmm, that makes sense. Saiba Asahi should have gone to Japan to participate in the Chef God Candidate Examination. He should indeed be in Japan right now. But Erina, how do you know you have a half-brother? I remember I never told you about this."
Erina: "???"
Erina: "You know about Saiba Asahi?"
Mana: "This, it was by chance. For a chef like Saiba Asahi to rise to prominence, shouldn't I, the only Special Grade Executive of the WGO, look into who this chef really is? I just never expected that an investigation would reveal that he is your half-brother. Before your father married me, he was very depressed due to certain circumstances. He met Saiba Asahi's mother by chance and had him as his son."
Mana seemed to have known about Saiba Asahi's existence for a long time. Therefore, she was not surprised at all.
"But what's this about Saiba Asahi? His organization isn't exactly small. Why does it sound like he's about to be finished?"
"I'm not joking with you. Saiba Asahi has offended Hakuto. By now, the Dark Chefs under Saiba Asahi have probably already been made into concrete columns and sunk in Tokyo Bay. Only Saiba Asahi is left. Hakuto doesn't know that I know about Saiba Asahi, so he doesn't want to alert me. He plans to wait until Saiba Asahi leaves Totsuki before taking care of him."
On the other end of the line, Mana gasped. "This Hakuto is really ruthless. He once said that if I tried to stop you from being with him, he would even take care of me. It seems this kid really would do it. Erina, if I disappear one day, you should go find Hakuto. That would be the right thing to do."
With a dark expression, Erina said grimly, "Shut up. Right now, we're discussing Saiba Asahi. So what should we do about this Saiba Asahi? Ignore him or save him?"
Hearing Erina's words, Mana asked on the other end of the line, "What exactly happened that would make Hakuto want to kill Saiba Asahi?"
"As soon as that idiot Saiba Asahi arrived in Japan, without even investigating, he made a move against Sonoka-senpai's restaurant. And Sonoka-senpai happens to be involved with Hakuto. That's why Hakuto wants to go after Saiba Asahi. Oh, and an Interpol officer also followed Saiba Asahi here. Their target is also Dark Chefs. And that person is also one of Hakuto's lovers, so..."
On the other end of the line, Mana sounded a bit exasperated. "Erina, don't you think the person you like is a bit too promiscuous? Although monogamy isn't required, isn't the person you like a little..."
"That's none of your business. Right now, we're discussing Saiba Asahi. Just tell me how to resolve this with Saiba Asahi."
Mana thought for a moment, then said to Erina, "Help your brother this once. After all, he is your blood-related brother. And he grew up without paternal or maternal love. Although it wasn't our fault, it's your irresponsible father's sin. So help him once, as a way to make up for your father's mistake."
Hearing her mother say this, Erina didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly. Then she called her bodyguards to bring Saiba Asahi to her.
Saiba Asahi was very confused when brought before Erina. What did Erina want with him?
"Saiba Asahi, your situation is not good right now. Your subordinates outside have all been captured. They've probably been sunk in Tokyo Bay by now. Once you leave Totsuki, you will inevitably meet the same fate."
His pupils contracting, Saiba Asahi looked at Erina with a sharp gaze. "Did you do this?"
"It has nothing to do with me. But due to certain circumstances, I don't want you to die like this. I plan to save you once. Stay in Totsuki, and I guarantee nothing will happen to you."
Saiba Asahi looked at Erina, then said to her, "Did that man ask you to do this?"
Saiba Asahi thought of Saiba Joichiro. This time, besides participating in the Chef God Candidate Examination, the most important purpose of Saiba Asahi's return was to defeat Saiba Joichiro!
And previously, in private, Saiba Asahi had already had a showdown with Saiba Joichiro. That was why Saiba Asahi thought Saiba Joichiro had asked Totsuki to help.
"Just think of it as him. As a father, he was negligent. But as your family, I cannot watch you die."
'Father? Family? Could it be...'
Saiba Asahi looked at Erina, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Apparently, Erina had misunderstood that the person Saiba Asahi mentioned was her father, Azami Nakiri.
"You mean father? You are my family?"
Saiba Asahi looked at Erina sharply. Seeing his expression, Erina realized she had misunderstood. She thought Saiba Asahi already knew about his relationship with her. Slightly flustered, she then said to Saiba Asahi, "You and I are half-brother and sister. Your father is Nakiri Azami. Before marrying into the Nakiri Family, his name was Nakamura Azami. And I am your half-sister, Nakiri Erina."
Saiba Asahi fell silent. He had not expected that coming to Totsuki to see his adoptive father's son would result in meeting his own biological sister and learning about his biological father.
"Nakiri Azami does not know of your existence. In the past, due to certain circumstances, before marrying into the Nakiri Family, Nakamura Azami was disheartened and traveled abroad. He met your mother and had a child. It was an accident that resulted in you. He doesn't even know he has a son like you."
Saiba Asahi's expression was somewhat gloomy. He had not expected to learn about his origins in such a way.
"Stay in Totsuki and don't go out. I guarantee nothing will happen to you."
Looking at her brother, Erina said.
Saiba Asahi shook his head and said to Erina, "No need. I will solve this matter myself. And I will verify whether what you said is true."
"If you go out, you will die. Do you understand?"
