The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

At that moment, Hakuto was on a call with Kazuo in Britain. "Hand over all your forces in Britain to Morgan. Then, you come back and take over the Yamaguchi-gumi."

Kazuo, who was in Britain, never expected to be called back by Hakuto to manage the Yamaguchi-gumi. But then, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on Kazuo's face. This unexpected joy made Kazuo almost ecstatic.

"Yes, my lord. I will immediately hand over all forces in Britain to Lady Morgan and then immediately return to Japan."

Hakuto didn't even bother to hide this phone call from Torikaze. Torikaze had no objection to Hakuto's decision either.

Even if Hakuto wanted his life, Torikaze would offer it without hesitation, let alone the Yamaguchi-gumi.

But deep down, Torikaze was reflecting, hoping to regain Hakuto's favor next time and take back his Yamaguchi-gumi.

Hakuto ignored Torikaze's inner thoughts. He looked at Shouko beside him and said, "Alright, I'll take you back."

Shouko didn't insist further. She held Hakuto's arm and left the Yamaguchi-gumi with him.

After Hakuto left, a look of anger appeared on Torikaze's face. That waste of a son of his had caused him so much trouble. Since that was the case, he could no longer keep such a waste.

Originally, he had thought to let this waste live out his life in mediocrity and then have a child to carry on the family line. But this waste had provoked his master. Then, he no longer had any value in living.

Torikaze came to the basement. Then, he looked at Danzo, whose body was covered in blood and littered with tiny wounds.

"Father."

Teiji called out respectfully. Torikaze nodded, then looked coldly at the waste, Danzo.

Completely different from Teiji, Danzo was a waste who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Originally, it wouldn't have mattered. But today, he had brought great disaster upon the family.

"Master has ordered us to clean up the Yamaguchi-gumi. The next head of the Yamaguchi-gumi will be replaced by Akita Kazuo."

A flicker of anger passed through Teiji's eyes. Then, he quickly controlled it and said to Torikaze, "I will quickly regain Master's trust."

Torikaze nodded slightly. He quite approved of his eldest son. But then, looking at Danzo, a dark look flashed in his eyes. "We absolutely cannot let this waste die easily. Understand?"

"Please rest assured, Father. I know what to do."

Teiji's words satisfied Torikaze. Then, Torikaze left this basement filled with the smell of blood.

As for Danzo's pleading gaze, it didn't soften Torikaze's heart at all. Not personally flaying Danzo alive was already Torikaze's final mercy.

Hakuto took Shouko home. Then, Hakuto left. He hesitated for a moment at Shouko's invitation to stay but eventually refused.

However, not long after Hakuto left, he received a call from Shouko.

After answering Shouko's call, Hakuto said, "Shouko, is there something you need?"

But the voice on the other end of the line was not Shouko's. It was a strange woman's voice.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not that girl."

Hakuto's expression stiffened slightly. Then, his voice instantly became low. "Who are you?"

"Aren't you looking for me right now? So here I am. Exchange the black pearl for this girl. Otherwise, I don't guarantee what I might do to her."

Akako's voice came from the other end of the line. Hakuto's eyes darkened. How dare a mere Koizumi Akako threaten him!

Hakuto said nothing and directly hung up. Then, he returned.

Returning to Shouko's house, Hakuto didn't see Shouko. Akako clearly wouldn't stay put waiting for Hakuto to come.

A flicker of lightning seemed to flash in Hakuto's eyes.

The phone in Hakuto's pocket rang again. Hakuto answered. Akako's voice came through again.

"I think you've confirmed it by now. So, we can talk. As long as you hand over the black pearl, I guarantee your girlfriend will return safely."

Hakuto said expressionlessly to Akako, "Put Shouko on the phone."

Akako put the phone next to Shouko. Hakuto said to Shouko on the other end, "Shouko."

"I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble."

"Shouko, are you scared?"

Shouko said to Hakuto on the other end of the line, "No. Whatever you decide to do, I support you."

It seemed she had already guessed Hakuto's thoughts. Shouko said this to Hakuto.

"Alright. After you die, I will avenge you. I will make sure Koizumi Akako dies a horrible death."

After saying this, Hakuto hung up directly. Hearing the dial tone, Akako was completely dumbfounded, 'Shouldn't they be discussing terms? He gives the black pearl, and I release the hostage?'

'Why did it seem like he was more likely to kill the hostage than I was?'

Akako looked at Shouko, holding the phone for a long while before saying to her, "Could it be that Hakuto doesn't actually like you?"

Shouko looked at Akako. "Hakuto loves me. But he will not accept threats. At least, he will not accept your threats."

Akako's face immediately turned green, 'Was she looking down on me? Was she looking down on me?'

But honestly, Akako was actually a bit intimidated. Facing this kind of lunatic, Akako really didn't know how to respond.

"Aren't you afraid? He refused my terms. I'm not going to let you off easily."

"Whatever. I've already prepared myself mentally. And Hakuto will avenge me. You will end up a thousand times, ten thousand times worse than me. Hakuto's wrath will pour down on you. Maybe Hakuto will have someone use a scalpel to cut your flesh into nail-sized pieces, bit by bit."

Akako suddenly shuddered all over.
