Chapter 13: Hikaru, Bevi, you will pay for this!

Tadashi gritted his teeth and looked at Bevi as if he wanted to tear him to pieces. He never thought that Bevi would no longer want to listen to his orders, and that he even had the ability to threaten him.

Tadashi’s face turned red with anger, and his voice, which was filled with cold and suppressed anger, resounded: “Bevi, you should know who I am. You know that I already have the right to inherit all of Hodai’s fortune; I am no longer the Tadashi of the past.”

“Bevi, I ask you again, are you sure you want to be my enemy?”

Bevi smiled, his smile similar to that of a wolf who was baring its fangs and threatening its prey: “Tadashi, I just said that I won’t obey your orders anymore. If you want me to perform your duties, you have to pay me as a form of transaction.”

“Of course, in that transaction, I have the right to agree or refuse.”

“Besides, do you think you can become my enemy? You should remember that you are in the light and I am in the dark; if I am in danger, you cannot live.”

“You can try to be my enemy, Tadashi, but there will be no room for regret. So think it over carefully.”

Tadashi stared into Bevi’s eyes as if he were trying to guess if Bevi was telling the truth. But in Bevi’s eyes, there was only confidence and contempt.

Yes, Bevi was looking down on him. Tadashi thought that Bevi was definitely looking down on him because he was a stepchild, and he couldn’t afford to be Bevi’s enemy.

In fact, that was just what Tadashi thought; Bevi had absolutely no thoughts of looking down on him.

Tadashi took a deep breath and said, “Good! At least we’re not enemies; I accept.”

Hearing that, Bevi grinned and slowly released Tadashi’s arm.

Tadashi glanced at Bevi, and when Bevi allowed him to check the three boxes on the table, he ignored Bevi and immediately opened the three boxes.．

The first box was a small porcelain vase that was 20 cm high and carved with strange patterns.

Tadashi frowned, he felt as if this vase wasn’t important. He then examined the vase for a long time before putting it inside the box.

Tadashi then opened the second box; in the box was a knife that was about 30 cm long. It was rusted so badly that even if Tadashi used a little force to hold it, it would break immediately.

“This…” Tadashi frowned, the strange feeling reappeared, however, it wasn’t as obvious as when he saw the boxes Hikaru had carried away in the morning.

Tadashi knew this knife was definitely unusual, but it still wasn’t what he was looking for.

He glanced at Bevi, then carefully placed the knife in the box and continued to open the third box.

This box contained a picture that was rolled up into a scroll, but Tadashi had no feelings for the picture; in other words, it was useless to him.

Tadashi frowned and asked, “Is this all?”

“That’s all! That’s all I got from Hikaru’s car.”

Tadashi seemed to lose his temper a little, as he shouted: “You are lying! Hikaru brought 4 boxes, but there are only 3 here. Are you kidding me?”

At this moment, the two men standing behind Bevi immediately stepped forward. But Bevi raised his hand, signalling to them that they didn’t need to do anything. The two men, seeing this, returned to their places.

Bevi shrugged and said, “Tadashi, I am telling you the truth; that’s all I got from Hikaru. In order to get these, two of my subordinates were seriously injured and had to be hospitalized.”

“That’s why… take these and get out.”

Tadashi frowned, he felt that Bevi had no reason to lie. In his heart he thought: “Is that thing still with that bastard Hikaru? It seems so, damn it!”

Tadashi took the three boxes, then hurriedly left.

“Ah! Wait!”

When Tadashi opened the door to go out, Bevi’s voice rang again. He turned his head, and squinted his eyes, as he looked at Bevi and said: “What else do you want to say?”

“Nothing… I just wanted to remind you to remember what I said today.”

Tadashi took a deep breath, then growled, “Good! Good! I’ll remember what you said today, and hopefully by then, you’ll be as confident as this.”

As Tadashi finished speaking, he left.

In the room, Bevi saw Tadashi leaving and sighed. At this moment, one of the two men behind him said, “Boss, do you really want to confront Tadashi? He already has the right to inherit all of Hodai’s assets, if we cooperate with him, we can…”

Bevi raised his hand, signalling for him to be quiet, and of course the man immediately shut up.

Bevi sighed and said, “Haizzz, I know what you mean. But today, Hikaru also taught me a lesson: when you become a madman, even a king must fear you.”

“When you have nothing to lose, and no way back, you can do the unthinkable.”

“look at Hikaru. He has given up his inheritance, he is no longer a member of Hodai’s family, he has nothing left to lose, so he can threaten me.”

“But Tadashi is different; he has a lot of things, and he also has a lot of ambition. He is afraid that what he possesses will disappear, so he will not dare to risk his life.”

“We’ve also worked for him for over a year. In the past year, a lot of people in our gang have died because of him, but he’s never had enough.”

“I think…it’s about time we put an end to this.”

The man nodded when he heard that, and he asked: “Boss, do we take revenge on Hikaru? He shot two of us.”

Bevi shook his head: “It’s not necessary, anyway; those two are not in any life-threatening danger, and their situation is stable now.”

“What we need to worry about is Tadashi and the other gangs. I fear that he will invest in the other gangs to oppress us.”

“Inform the others that it is time to limit going out to the territory of the other gangs and that they shouldn’t mess with anyone.”

“Considering the actions of Tadashi and the police, we cannot look down on them.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

…

Outside, when Tadashi returned to where his car was parked, he angrily smashed the vase in the antique box.

“CHANG!”

The sound of the broken porcelain vase resounded, but Tadashi still felt angry, so he kept stomping on the debris on the ground.

He also tore the painting to shreds and scattered it everywhere.

Tadashi was so angry that his face turned red, and in his eyes, red veins were visible. He was like a rabid dog, as he constantly smashed everything he had.

Tadashi turned to his car and kicked it hard with his foot, then swung his fist towards the car’s window.

“BAM!”

With this punch, he used all his strength to smash the windshield of the car, but his hand was also cut by shards of glass, and fresh blood flowed out.

Tadashi picked up the rusted knife, as he wanted to throw it away, but he seemed to have regained consciousness. He looked at the rusty knife in his hand and decided to put it in a box, then put it in the car.

Looking at his bleeding hand, he seemed to have completely regained consciousness.

However, Tadashi still gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger: “Damn it! Hikaru, Bevi, you will pay for this!”

Tadashi took a deep breath and tried to calm down. It seemed that the drop in his luck points was also related to how easily he lost his temper.

However, Tadashi was the main character anyway, so he quickly calmed down and drove to the hospital. He also didn’t want to get infected because of small wounds like this.

…

In the hospital, two thugs lying in the emergency room were now awake. A blond man was sitting on a bed with a bandage on his leg, and a red-brown-haired delinquent was lying on another bed next to him.

Anyway, he was more seriously injured than the blonde; he was shot in the stomach and knee by Hikaru, so he still needed surgery.

The blonde man frowned and muttered, “Damn it! If I had known that bastard had a gun, I wouldn’t have gone to that damn mansion.”

The redhead sighed; every time he breathed, the wound in his stomach hurt. Fortunately, the bullet did not damage his internal organs, so he was able to stay awake in this place.

However, part of his knee was shot, and it was likely that he would have to undergo a long surgery.

“Haizz, stop talking, I feel like I might only have one leg left to use in the future.”

“Huh! I don’t understand why our boss asked us to keep this a secret. If we tell the police that he has a gun, he will definitely be caught.”

“If things were that simple, Boss would have dealt with that bastard Hikaru simply.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know, don’t ask me. Anyway, I will listen to Boss, he also transferred me $50,000 as compensation.”

“What the hell? $50,000? I only have $5,000 and you have $50,000, that’s not fair.”

“Are you stupid? You should have told that bastard to shoot you in the knee, I am facing the risk of having my leg amputated. I would gladly give away that $50,000 for my leg to be normal.”

The blonde man, upon hearing that, felt that it made a lot of sense.

“This! This place is a hospital, please be quiet.” The voice of a nurse resounded, although the two thugs were criminals, they also had to obey the rules because their boss had told them to do so.

But what those two thugs didn’t know was that there was another person in this room who had heard their story.

Tadashi sat on the bed, and he was surrounded by a white curtain. His eyes were filled with excitement, and he was inwardly thinking: “Hikaru… has a gun? How dare he shoot others, and even injure them?”

“Hahahaha… Hikaru, if those thugs can’t do anything to you, then what about the police? I don’t believe you can escape from me this time.”
