Chapter 79: Call Me Onii-san—The Man Who Commands Hayasaka
When Yukima Azuma suddenly reached toward her, Hayasaka Ai felt her heart leap into her throat.
But she didn't flinch.
She didn't dare. A wrong move could provoke the man before her—a man who had single-handedly taken down a gang without breaking a sweat. If she angered him, she might endanger her young mistress.
Yet, to her surprise... he didn't hurt her.
Instead, he gently pinched her cheek.
"You must be Hayasaka Ai," he said casually. "Given your seniority, you can call me... 'uncle.'"
Ai froze.
Uncle?
She had no idea who this man was. He didn't look related to the Hayasaka family at all—jet-black hair, deep black eyes, and that effortlessly sharp handsomeness of an elite Tokyo native. No matter how she looked at it, this couldn't be a relative.
Before she could process his audacious claim, Azuma continued with a smile.
"A few days ago, I met your mother, Hayasaka Nao. She said she misses you dearly."
