Chapter 389 If You Don't Want It, Give It To Me. If You Had Given It To Me, Would I Have Resorted To Kidnapping?
In the end, Akako didn't have the courage to die together with Shouko. She honestly gave in and surrendered, releasing Shouko.
Hakuto looked at Akako before him. Although there was no sharp killing intent in his eyes, the way he looked at Akako made her feel as if there were a knife at her back.
Akako now stood trembling before Hakuto. She didn't even dare to ask Hakuto how he would punish her.
Hakuto withdrew his gaze from Akako and looked at Shouko, pulling her into his arms.
"Shouko, I need to apologize to you."
"This was my own choice. And I have never regretted my choice. I just felt a little regretful earlier, because I am not yet truly your woman."
Hearing Shouko's words, Hakuto said nothing. He just cupped her face and kissed her.
Shouko ignored Akako's presence completely and wanted to go all the way. But Hakuto stopped her. "No rush for now. Later, you come home with me."
Shouko's eyes lit up, and she nodded. Then, Hakuto turned his gaze to Akako. "Tell me, what was your purpose?"
"The black pearl. I wanted the black pearl in your hand. My family has been searching for the black pearl for hundreds of years. Everything I did was just to get the black pearl from you. I kidnapped Kirishima Shouko only to exchange her for the black pearl from you. I absolutely did not intend to harm her. After getting the black pearl, I would have released her immediately."
Akako immediately spilled all her purposes and also stated that she had absolutely no intention of being hostile to Hakuto or harming Shouko.
Hearing Akako's words, Hakuto said nothing. There was a hint of noncommittal in his eyes.
Then, Hakuto took out the black pearl. Akako's gaze immediately locked onto it, unable to look away. Hakuto looked at Akako. "What secret does this black pearl hold?"
Akako looked at Hakuto, hesitated for a moment, but finally said it. "The black pearl contains deep red magic."
Hearing this, a look of disgust immediately appeared on Hakuto's face. Hakuto had originally thought this black pearl was something special. But that was it?
A look of disgust appeared in Hakuto's eyes as he looked at the black pearl. Seeing the disgust in Hakuto's eyes, Akako immediately felt terrible.
Akako had thought Hakuto had taken the black pearl because he knew it contained deep red magic.
But now, seeing his disgusted expression, Akako felt as if her heart had been stabbed back and forth hundreds of times by a knife.
Seeing the disgust in Hakuto's eyes, Akako wanted to say, 'If you don't want it, give it to me. If you had given it to me, I wouldn't have had to kidnap Kirishima Shouko and end up like this.'
Hakuto ignored the longing in Akako's eyes and put the black pearl away. Then he looked at her. "Now, let's talk about how to deal with you."
Akako's body immediately tensed, then she deflated. What could she do? What could she do? Now, she was at the mercy of others.
She just hoped Hakuto would give her a quick death. As for what Shouko had said, about cutting her flesh into nail-sized pieces, Akako absolutely could not accept that. Just kill her outright. That kind of torture was worse than death.
"Don't worry. I won't kill you. But I will punish you."
Hakuto directly pinched a seed and pierced it through Akako's heart. Then, he withdrew his hand. There was no wound on Akako's chest.
"I've planted a Black Goat's Egg in your heart. Your life and death are now entirely in my hands. So tell me, what value do you have? If you have no value, then..."
"I have value, I have value! To find the black pearl, my family joined an organization called the Restoration Society and became one of its parliaments. This organization's influence is quite vast. So, I can use the organization's power to serve you."
A strange expression appeared on Hakuto's face. He never expected this. Really, he never expected it. His luck was just something else.
He had caught Akako and unexpectedly she was also a parliament of the Restoration Society.
"Well, what a coincidence. I specialize in killing people from the Restoration Society. Including you, I've already dug up six of the current twelve parliaments of the Restoration Society."
Akako: "!!!"
Had she just delivered herself to his doorstep?
Akako immediately felt terrible. Was there a mistake? Why was she so unlucky?
Akako looked at Hakuto with a bitter expression. "For returning Shouko to you intact, could you give me a quick death? I really don't want to die a painful death."
Hakuto looked at Koizumi Akako. "I didn't originally plan to kill you. Since you want to die now, I can grant your wish."
"Wait, didn't you say you specialize in killing people from the Restoration Society?"
"I kill the low-level grunts. For parliaments like you, I spare your lives."
Hearing this, Akako breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she immediately said to Hakuto, "Please, by all means, spare me. I really don't want to die."
Hakuto didn't say anything. He just casually tossed the black pearl to Akako. "Don't try any tricks. The Black Goat's Egg will monitor your every move. The moment you think of betraying me, you will die instantly without a burial place."
"Understood, understood."
Holding the black pearl, Akako smiled so wide that her back teeth were showing. Hakuto looked at her with disgust.
'Such a worthless piece of junk, and she was so happy about it.'
If Akako knew what Hakuto thought, she would probably cry. Hakuto was completely inhuman. It was nothing to him. But for ordinary people, it was truly a rare treasure.
