Chapter 159 - Chapter 156: Back Home-II

With the sudden attack by the group that aimed for Li Lian's life, their car went back to home. The sky had dipped to black and Li Lian who had been staring at the view outside the car noticed that they have arrived at their house and felt a sense of relief when she reached home. It had been roughly five months since Li Lian stayed in Li Jun Wei's house and she felt the house had became hers. When she think about home, the first one to appear on her mind would be Li Jun Wei, Li Xiao Chen, and the house. A smile appeared on her lips as the door of her car was opened.

"The attack it must have something to do with the condition and term in Japan, right?" asked Li Lian, her black eyes looked at Li Jun Wei's light colored eyes as she stepped out of the car.

"Yes." he replied, "I will be in touch with grandfather for this matter." he said and saw Li Lian having a face where it showed clearly how she misses her grandfather. "Your grandfather had said meeting each other would be hard but that doesn't mean you can't call him." it was a long sentence he said and he shortened to, "Do you want to call you grandfather?"

Li Lian looked up at him her eyes crinkling with brightness, "I can?"

Li Jun Wei look at her eyes staring at him with her eyes turning upward and smiled widely. "Of course," he said with a smile that made her heart skip.

In Japan in the same time, Old Master Ryouma slept on his bed with an IV on his left hand. When a sudden cough filled the room, Kei who had been sitting beside him had his expression marred with worries. It had been months since Old Master's cough getting worse and his health deteriorated.

Nevertheless, The Old Master stubbornly insist on his health being perfectly fine and today the Old Master's face was pale that paper couldn't even begin to compare with his features. If it wasn't because Kei's constant nagging of telling the Old Master go meet a doctor, perhaps another one day would make the person to unable wake up from bed the next day.

Bringing the spoon to his mouth, the Old Master let a sigh, "Porridge." he commented at the delicious looking porridge but it wasn't what he was looking forward to eat to. It look bland to his eyes despite knowing how hard Kei cooked the porridge.

"Do you wish to eat something else, Master?" asked Kei for a smile to appear on Old Master's face.

"Yakiniku!" the Old Master replied quickly.

"I will take a note for the future when your health is improving." Kei said with a sulk on his tone that the Old Master noticed.

"Kei, why are you being so stubborn?" asked the Old Master with a sigh that made Kei knit his brows harshly.

"Please let me use that as a question for you too, Master. Why do you have to be so stubborn?" He didn't raise his voice but the worry was evident.

The Old Master gave a small smile. He remembered the day when he first met Kei, if one would compare the past him, they wouldn't be able to spot a single similarities to him now. "I'm not being stubborn but there is something far more important than my health." he said.

"There is not anything more important than your health." he corrected, clenching his fist his face was on a thin line of desperation. "Please, not you too master. You, Li Rian, Shun, and Shin all of you are too reckless. With what is happening now, we have to be careful if something happen to you the balance will fall and we can't have the balance in Japan to drop." His eyes darkened and so did his face when he added, "If the imbalance create a ripple to the state of the groups now, the whole Japan will have to wage a war."

The Old Master places down the wooden spoon down to the tray that held the soup and sighed, "What happen with the matter regarding the new term purpose to Itou Group?"

Kei shook his head, "They apologies to us, stating that they could not support us. Instead, they choose to agree with the new term created by the son of Akasaka Family."

"For the head of Itou group to agree with him. That brat," he cursed at the son of Akasaka Family. "What does he even want from Rian? There are plenty of women in the sea."

Although the son of Akasaka Family asked for Li Lian's hand in marriage, the Old Master Ryouma had not seen the young man's face at all. There was only one time where he met the young man and that was about eight years ago and he can't remember his face again.

In surface, the Akasaka Family claimed to create a new term and condition for the greater good but in fact they are doing something that smells fishy in the background to achieve their goal. And that goal, the Old Master suspect to be them wanting to rule the Yakuzas world.

He can't have that, the Akasaka Family are to cunning for their own good. There was a doubt in him that say the Son of Akasaka Group is aiming for something bigger and larger. Something that was even worse than ruling the Yakuzas in Japan.

"I don't think he is doing for Li Rian, he is doing it for himself for something he wants to gain through her," said Kei for the Old Master to nod.

"But it is even odd that brat to be silent for a whole year after giving the new condition and term." The Old Master brings his spoon to dip it to the bowl and dined the porridge. "Did you find a clue of the person who attacked Li Rian in China?" he asked.

Kei shook his head, "We found nothing, Shun and Shin went to the head of the person who sent the assassins but they find no single lead. It is possible that there is someone who prepared to erase the traces of the attack and this could maybe have something to do with Akasaka's shady business."

"We can not let him do what he wants." The Old Master declared. He had been the protector in Yakuza World, dissuading the people of his world from doing any inhumane act and had succeeded for years from his age. He can't point his finger to the son of Akasaka Family, what he planned for and that was what exactly make the young man dangerous but he knew what his goal was. To create a new Yakuzas World. One where he became the one to reign for.
