Chapter 464 Horikita: I Want Revenge
Hakuto had to admit that in the end, he couldn't refuse Horikita. After all, those fox-like eyes of hers staring at him made it impossible for Hakuto to say no.
Opening his hand, a mass of black mist appeared in Hakuto's palm. Then, after this mass of black mist devoured Manabu's ghost, Manabu's soul gradually solidified!
Looking at this Manabu, Horikita's expression gradually became excited.
The eyes of Manabu, which had previously been devoid of any spirituality, also began to show signs of intelligence. The bullet hole in the center of his brow gradually disappeared, and then Manabu returned to his appearance when he was alive.
After Manabu truly recovered, Horikita excitedly wanted to go to his side, but Manabu stepped back and looked at her with a very indifferent gaze.
Horikita looked at Hakuto: "What's going on?"
Hakuto looked at Horikita and said: "The moment I fulfilled the conditions to resurrect Horikita Manabu, you already belonged to me. So naturally, you have to stay away from other men. I get jealous."
Hearing Hakuto say this, Horikita's expression relaxed slightly, but it was still somewhat unpleasant. Hakuto ignored her and continued: "As my creation, everything about Horikita Manabu must prioritize me. That is to say, if I told Horikita Manabu to die, he would have to die."
Horikita looked at Hakuto unwillingly, but she reasonably did not speak again. Hakuto had already told her this would be the case, and Horikita knew it herself, so now she had no right to refuse.
Moreover, even if Horikita refused now, what difference would it make? Manabu's life was now in Hakuto's hands. If Hakuto wanted him dead, he wouldn't live!
So no matter how unhappy Horikita was, she could only swallow her pride, unless she wanted Manabu to die.
"Alright, now let's get to the questioning. Didn't you want to know what Horikita Manabu hasn't told you? You can ask him now."
Reminded by Hakuto, Suzune finally remembered what she wanted to ask. Who killed Manabu, and what did Manabu want to tell her?
As Horikita questioned him, the answer Manabu gave made even Hakuto narrow his eyes slightly. The one who killed Horikita Manabu was actually Ayanokoji Atsuomi, the very person Hakuto was looking for.
That is, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's father. Speaking of which, Hakuto had sent Kiyotaka to capture Atsuomi, yet so much time had passed without any news.
If Kiyotaka weren't already Hakuto's servant, Hakuto would have suspected him of taking it easy.
"What exactly is your relationship with Ayanokoji Atsuomi?"
Hakuto had initially thought he was just casually saving Manabu, but he hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.
Through Manabu's account, Hakuto learned that Manabu had been secretly working for Atsuomi all along.
But after doing so many things, Manabu naturally came to understand the concept of "killing the dog after it's done hunting", so he secretly set up a safe house for himself.
A week ago, Manabu received a notice and went to a certain location. Upon arriving, he realized he might not be coming back. He immediately decided to have Suzune go to the safe house he had set up.
The result was that Manabu indeed died. Suzune hid in the safe house and survived the purge. Unable to find Suzune and unwilling to cause too much commotion, they gave up and left.
"Where is Ayanokoji Atsuomi now?"
"I don't know. Every meeting was at a different place. If necessary, I can write down all these places."
"That works. Write down all the places you've been to and give them to me."
"Now, the two of you talk."
Hakuto walked over to a sofa on the side, sat down, and watched the siblings Suzune and Manabu talk.
Honami quietly walked over to Hakuto: "Are you thinking about that Ayanokoji Atsuomi?"
"Ayanokoji Atsuomi does have some skills. If he were useless, he would have been caught by me by now. The fact that he's been able to hide for so long shows his ability."
"And since Horikita Manabu was his man, it makes me wonder if there are other people around me who are also his people."
Although Manabu wasn't very useful, he was still a thorn planted by Hakuto's side. If he could plant one thorn like Manabu, could there be others?
This made Hakuto very suspicious.
Hakuto felt he needed to conduct a thorough investigation. After all, he didn't want his surroundings to be infiltrated like a sieve.
It was Hakuto's good luck that Manabu hadn't caused any trouble, but who could guarantee the same good luck next time?
The two siblings, Suzune and Manabu, finished their conversation quickly. Manabu bowed respectfully to Hakuto and then silently left.
Suzune was somewhat silent. Manabu's final instructions were still echoing in her ears: no matter what, stick close to Hakuto!
That was Manabu's warning to Suzune.
Manabu didn't want to involve Suzune in dangerous matters, but sometimes things go against one's wishes. The moment Manabu was recruited by Atsuomi, he had already dragged Suzune into the mire.
So for Suzune to survive, Manabu hoped she could cling tightly to Hakuto's thigh. As long as she clung to Hakuto's thigh, her safety would no longer be something Manabu needed to worry about.
"I want to help my brother take revenge!"
Suzune looked at Hakuto, the flames of revenge burning fiercely in her eyes.
"Want revenge? Let me ask you, what do you have to get revenge with?"
Hakuto found it somewhat amusing to look at Suzune. What did she have to get revenge with?
"And do you even know where the enemy is?"
Hakuto was also laughing to death at Suzune. She wanted revenge without knowing anything.
"Help me get revenge!"
Suzune's fox-like eyes looked at Hakuto.
