BXBX NOVEL Chapter 515 - SEDUCE HIM
After Kaito left, Yagi turned to Ayumi and looked at her with cold eyes. He did not have a hint of gentleness or care in him. Before this incident, he always treated her well and allowed her to run around in his territory without care.
Moreover, he did not interfere with her life.
For these reasons, Ayumi\'s daily life was comfortable since she came to Yagi\'s place. He gave her a suite in the hotel. She would have food delivered by the chef from the restaurant, and if she wanted something from outside, she would order one of Yagi\'s subordinates to get it.
When she was looking for a safe refuge, she considered a lot of her suitors. However, she decided to go to Yagi in the final moment, even though they were not overly familiar. She had only known him for a few months.
But she thought it would be best for her to choose him because she could cut ties more cleanly, once the danger to her passed. If she went to long-term friends, they might think that she had a genuine interest in them and push for a physical or emotional relationship.
Of course, she was also worried that Yagi would want something more. However, she was prepared for such a situation. She planned to tell him that they needed to wait until they got to know each other a little better. With such an excuse, she could keep him on the hook for a while.
Who knew that Yagi would not try to develop a close relationship with her? He did not even try to visit her room. He simply told her to call the staff if she needed anything. After that, he did not pester her like a normal suitor or even invite her for a meal.
Ayumi was a little surprised because she thought that Yagi was deeply in love with her. Otherwise, he would not have approached her back then and exchanged contacts with her. Moreover, he occasionally checked up on her.
He also seemed to follow news about her. As soon as things went wrongly with the Shadow Brotherhood, he called to check on her.
Now, she was not sure if he was in love with her, or if everything was in her imagination. Could it be that he did not have a romantic interest in her? She never thought about the feelings of the people pursuing her, but they all seemed to have deep feelings for her.
But if that was the case, why was Yagi looking at her with such cold eyes?
"You should leave the hotel. I cannot afford the trouble you keep bringing to my doorstep." Yagi said calmly.
Ayumi opened her mouth in surprise at the words. She could not believe that he would chase her away just like that.
"Yagi, what trouble are you talking about?" She asked. "If it is about Kaito, he will not come back to this place. We are old friends, so it is not unusual in our trade to have a few altercations. He will forget about this incident in a while."
Yagi looked at her with some hidden contempt. "Do you think that is truly the case? Do you think that he will forget that you tried to capture him by force for whatever plans you had?"
Ayumi was rendered speechless because she knew the truth. This time, she had gone too far. If she met Kaito again, he was probably not going to let her go. That was another reason she did not want to leave the hotel.
Yagi was at the top of the pyramid in the yakuza, so Kaito could not act without thinking carefully. She needed to change tactics so that she could remain in the safe haven.
"Yagi…" She called out in a soft voice, unlike her usual abrasive manner.
It was obvious that she was trying to be coquettish so that she could seduce Yagi into letting her stay. He looked at her with dark amusement in his eyes. The coyness on Ayumi\'s face was forced and looked ridiculous.
Yagi was not moved by the look at all. If anything he was a little disgusted because he never expected Ayumi to try to use a cheap trick on him.
"When you came to me, you said that you wanted to stay in a safe place until Kaito returns. Since he has returned, it is time for you to leave." He said directly.
Ayumi forgot about her plan to act cute. "Why are you doing this? Didn\'t you welcome me to your territory because you liked me? Are you lashing out just because you realised that you cannot have me?"
Yagi laughed a little. "Is that what you think?"
Ayumi was unapologetic. "What else if not this? Do you want me to believe that you acted out of the goodness of your heart?"
"I am naturally not a saint, so I had a motive for inviting you to stay here for the short period. But you can rest assured that I am not after your body or your heart." He replied.
The casual words humiliated Ayumi. Even though she did not want to be with Yagi, she felt like it was a little annoying that he did not like her. And he dared to say it to her face.
Yagi did not care about her feelings. "I had my purpose for sheltering you. But you have done nothing but harm my interests. I have lost two men because of the attacks initiated by your assassin enemies. You have also caused significant losses to my hotel."
"I withstood your stupid antics like damaging the suite, using the restaurant chef as your personal cook and even your cockiness in the club. I thought you would be useful because you approached me, claiming that your relationship with Kaito is good."
Ayumi understood the implied point.
"You were using me to get close to Kaito?" She shouted.
"Yes. And you have proved to be quite useless. I can see that that man meant to kill you when I came in. He is not your friend, and your relationship does not seem that good. If not for the attention on me from the special police, I would have let him kill you." Yagi was unfeeling.
"Why? The yakuza and mercenaries do not get along. What is your aim?" Ayumi asked with a hint of fear for this person she believed was the gentlest gang leader she had ever met.
"That is not your business. With your lies and interference, it is likely that you have made it more difficult for me to achieve my goals." Yagi said without inflexion in his voice. "Throw her out."
His subordinates, who were barely mobile after receiving a beating from Kaito, became energised again. They had long been tired of this woman because she treated them like dogs.
Without further ado, Ayumi was escorted off the hotel property with nothing, just like she came.
Ayumi stood outside the hotel for a while before snorted and turned away. Losing the shield of Yagi and the yakuza was a little unfortunate, but it was not the end of the world. In the end, he was just one of her pawns.
Plus, with Kaito in the city, it was unlikely that the mercenaries from the Shadow Brotherhood would cause trouble for her.
She needed to lay low for a while, at least until Kaito got the members of the group to settle down again. After that, she could find a new job or find a way to rise to the top of another organisation. Then, Kaito and Yagi would regret their choices.
Perhaps, Ayumi was a little inebriated because her fantasies of stepping on the two men became a little more vivid. She laughed out loud like a madman as she walked while looking for a taxi. After walking for a while, she saw a cab at the side of the road.
She waved at the driver and beckoned to him to pick her. The taxi drove over, and Ayumi entered without even talking to the driver. Her mind was wrapped in a plan for revenge. She wanted those who rejected her to die with regret.
"Where do you want to go?" The driver asked politely.
Ayumi thought for a moment before mentioning the name of her apartment building. She needed to return to pick a few things before making the final decision on where to go. It would be safer if she left the country for a few months.
That would make her future comeback even more dramatic.
She was absorbed in her thoughts and fantasies that she did not notice anything unusual when she started feeling a little drowsy. She was quite relaxed because of the fantasies going through her mind. Also, the alcohol made her less alert.
After a short driving distance, she fell completely asleep. Her head slumped to one side, exposing her vulnerable neck. When the driver saw the scene, he laughed before turning off the small canister of an odourless sleeping drug.
He had taken an antidote before so he was unaffected.
But he was a little surprised that Ayumi did not find anything amiss.
For an assassin, her vigilance was quite poor.
