Chapter 18: I will help you defeat Geto
After the meeting ended everybody left the room to make preparations for the upcoming operation.
"Kenji, what does 'that' mean?" Amon asked.
"Since you were present there it is no use hiding from you now. Do you know why all the other mercenary groups are afraid of our group?" Kenji asked Hiroshi with a prideful smile.
"I don't know captain" Amon answered.
"It's natural you didn't know. It's because of our boss's innate technique" Kenji answered mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Amon asked puzzled and curious but he could already guess the answer.
"Our boss's technique allows him to use talismans to seal things. From the start of our organisation to now, do you know how many cursed spirits he has sealed?" Kenji asked with a smug look on his face.
"Ohh, I understand" Hiroshi said with an understanding expression. Soon that turned to reverence. Kenji looked at Hiroshi in approval.
'This kid knows how to respect his elders' he thought, praising Amon. Kenji always found that Hiroshi was a kind and good kid.
"We can only rely on the leader for this issue" Kenji said as he walked into his room. Amon ended the facade and his expression was back to normal.
'Haha, to think they had such a thing' Amon thought as a smile formed on his face.
'I should first investigate the Kaito, the leader of the white tiger group. I smell something fishy on him'
...
It was nighttime. Most of the workers working in the white tiger group have left for their homes. Only a few people stayed.
Kaito was in his room, pacing around looking anxious. He has been like this since encountering Geto this morning.
"Don't be so cowardly, the plan will definitely succeed" Kaito heard a voice.
"But, what if he exorcized all those curses, We will only help him by doing this" Kaito answered.
"Even if it happens, I am here right? Nothing will happen to you as long I exist" the voice assured Kaito.
"Yeah you are right, I have you. But what about others that work for me? They all have put their trust in me" Kaito asked.
"Don't worry about them. As long you are alive, you can create another white tiger group. Also, there is no guarantee that Geto will kill everyone" the voice continued to persuade Kaito.
"Yeah, you are right. Everything will happen according to the plan" Kaito answered visibly relieved.
At this moment heard someone enter his room. He frowned thinking who entered his room without even informing him.
"Who is it?" Kaito asked in anger. But no one answered him. Soon a figure revealed itself from the darkness of the room.
It was a boy around the age of fifteen, looking handsome and refined with curly black hair and black eyes. He wore a black jacket with matching pants.
"Who are you?" Kaito asked as he took a defensive stance. At that time he noticed the unfamiliar boy was dragging along something.
'What is he dragging? Weapon? Explosives?'
"Minato, do you want to take over" Kaito asked scared.
"Don't be such a pussy and have some spine" Minato answered harshly.
Kaito gulped his saliva as he saw that the boy was dragging along a person.
Soon, his gaze landed on the familiar face that the boy was dragging. He had slicked black hair and a snake tattoo on his neck. It was his captain Michiya.
"Y-you.. who are you? How did you defeat Michiya? Is he dead?" he asked in visible confusion.
Amon didn't answer him and just smiled as he got closer to Kaito. Sensing that Kaito may start to attack anytime, he threw the body of Michiya toward him. Michiya's body crashed into a chair.
"Argh" Michiya groaned indicating to Kaito that he was still alive.
"W..what do you want?" Kaito asked.
"He is a traitor" Amon answered nonchalantly.
"What the hell are you saying?" Kaito asked getting greatly distressed. Why can't he have a moment of peace today? In the morning, it was the threat from Geto, now this.
"He is working as a spy for Geto, sending him information" Amon answered with a smirk.
"What? What are you saying? How did you know that? First, who are you?" Kaito shouted furiously.
"You don't need to know about me. You can just ask your captain if you don't believe me" Amon answered as he kicked Michiya in the stomach.
"Argh ahh" Michiya coughed blood under Amon's kick.
"Stop it, stop. I will ask him myself" Kaito said.
Amon stopped his kicking as he looked at Kaito, still with a smirk on his face.
"Michiya tell me, is what he said true? Are you working as a spy for Geto?" Kaito asked.
"Yes yes, I am sorry. I am a spy for Geto. Please leader, forgive me. Please save me from his demon" Michiya screamed with tears rolling down his face.
"W.what?" Kaito stumbled back a bit. What sort of situation was this? He had been planning to ambush Geto and eliminate him in secret, all while a traitor is sending Geto information about their ambush. Is he, Kaito a clown?
On top of that, an unknown boy appears into the stage all of a sudden. What intentions does he have? Who is he? Is he powerful? Could he be defeated easily?
'Theft' Amon used his technique to steal Kaito's thoughts about retaliation.
"Now Kaito, what are you going to do about him?" Amon asked while pointing towards Michiya. But Kaito didn't answer.
"You, what did you do to me? I thought about fighting you but I suddenly forgot about it" Kaito asked confused, distressed and angry.
Amon was shocked after hearing it. It was the first time someone realised that their thoughts were being stolen so soon.
"Well, I can't have you fighting me now, can I? Now that Geto knows about your plan, only I can help you fight now" Amon answered.
"What?" Kaito asked even more shocked. This fifteen-year-old boy was saying that he can help him defeat a special grade sorcerer.
"Haha, is nowadays everyone so crazy. I don't care I am just going to kill you" Kaito answered in a somewhat crazed state.
"Wait Kaito, let's hear what he has to say" Kaito heard the familiar voice again.
"What are you saying? He is unknown and dangerous. He easily defeated Michiya without us noticing anything" Kaito answered.
"Yeah, but this may be an opportunity for us. We didn't even find anything suspicious while he found out about Michiya. I think he wants something from you, that is why he is helping you. We should listen to him" the voice persuaded Kaito.
"Well, I will do as you say Minato" Kaito answered.
All of this happened inside Kaito's head. On the outside, Kaito just stood blankly while Amon stared at him, getting increasingly curious.
