Chapter 55: Hikari Yamamoto
Sun had already gone down, the stars were twinkling, with the advent of technology in this world people had reduced pollution by a lot.
Hundred years ago the same world was on the age of the doom, because of the apocalyptic events occuring all over the world.
Billions had died, but still the population of this world was beyond fifty billions.
More than half of the population was female, as if the world itself was removing the gender that held superiority then.
Alex was in the world after 80 years of the apocalypse.
The gender equality was norm almost all over the world now, except eastern continent.
Current situation of females here was lot better than before when the illegal slavery, prostitution and rape of females was a common occurrence due to their low standing in eastern continent.
The world was too huge and most of it was uncontrolled.
But now all over the world womens held strong positions due to their more numbers, even then men had a stronger positions in ancient organisations.
The heads of most traditional and old families were men and these men had lots of concubines aside from their main wife.
Even a normal citizen can have more than one women and it wasn't uncommon.
Alex thought all this as he looked outside at shining stars and passing trees.
Yeako was beside him and was leaning on with her head on his shoulder.
There was one more person in the seven seater solar car, she was an average looking middle aged women with long black hair tied in a bun, her name was Keiko.
Alex could see strands of whites in her hairs under the gazing moonlit night.
She had her eyes focused on the road as she drew the car efficiently, the roads were perfect so Alex felt as if he was in a luxury ride.
The plan was to travel to the next city till morning from where Yaeko will be the one driving.
But soon at one point Alex made Keiko to take a detour for the next city.
The reason behind this was due to the motive of him leaving Sakura's place in early evening.
From his memories of the past Alex knew that something significant was going to happen here.
The 100 year old head of the Yamamoto house died due to the heart attack in the morning after his daughter was assassinated the previous night.
Alex remembered the exact place where assassination occured, so he told Keiko to go in that direction.
" Hikari's Pov "
I looked at the stars outside, those stars weren't this twinkling and clear when I was young.
Now almost 50 years have passed since then...
"Sigh, " I sighed in contemplation.
"Yes mam? " asked the women driving the car, someone I cherish even more than my own children.
"Nothing Airi... I was just thinking something" I said.
"Mam... " Airi didn't say anything more, as she knew what I was thinking.
My own eldest son is after the life of me and my father... It's all because of that whore of Takahashis.
My son, Yamamoto Kazuya, he wants to become the head of the Clan, his ambitions most likely stemmed from that Takahashi women who is his wife in the name.
Takahashi Hina, she was considered one of the three most beautiful women in this generation and also was the younger sister of the head of Takahashi Clan.
But not like in the past when women were only trophies, she herself held the large say in both Takahashi and Yamamoto Clan.
Hina's abilities and talents are no doubt very high, but she is overly ambitious.
She somehow seduced my foolish son and when the Yamamoto Clan proposed the marriage secretly, it was declined.
Later in seclusion, my son and that women Hina had a contract that she would only become his wife once he is the head of the Clan and until then their relationship will only be in the name.
My son Kazuya did everything he could to remove father from the throne.
As for me, I'm the first in the line of succession and for that women he's even ready to forsake me.
Just as I was thinking this, the car took the detour around the road.
"Seems, there is some construction going there mam... " said Airi, her tone was slightly shaky and heavy.
I just nodded and closed my eyes to take a rest.
Minutes passed as the car moved smoothly...
Due to the business trip I had to leave the country for sometime and my flight was canceled somehow.
In this age travelling through air was not only very fuel costing but also sometimes dangerous, due to mutated animals in the space.
Who sometimes breach the atmospheric wall and enter the atmosphere.
That's why arranging another flight right away was tough, so I had to take this route.
Just as I was taking rest, the car suddenly stopped.
I noticed it and opened my eyes and saw Airi, who was breathing roughly and sweating.
"Airi, are you alright? "
"I-I... " Airi stuttered.
"What's wrong Airi? " I asked again.
"I-I'm sorry.... I d-didn't want to... they forced me, they took my family hostage, " said Airi as she choked on her tears.
I was flabbergasted, not knowing what Airi was saying, but my doubts were cleared as outside the car I saw few cars.
A man came near the car's window, as Airi opened the door of the car and ran outside.
I was also forced to get out, slowly I understood what was happening.
My suspicions became clear as I saw my son's image on a projector.
"I'm sorry mom, but for your son you need to die, only then I will be able to inherit the Clan as it's head, " said Kazuya, my son...
But the only feeling I was now experiencing was the deep sorrow and infinite rage.
For my whole life, no one loved me, not my father neither my husband nor my relatives.
I gave up my youth, middle age and even now I'm doing everything for my Clan, so this is where it ends?
And now even my son is ready to kill me?
I felt like laughing at my miserable self.
Airi who was my trusted aide the one who I treated as my own daughter, also chose her family over me and abandoned me.
Next one of the man pulled out a revolver from his pocket and pointed it at me.
I knew what was coming...
May be I have lived enough...
Will I have a next life?...
Will someone love me then...
Even though I knew my thoughts were childish, but this was my own desire.
Desire to have a loving family, that I will never have.
I one last time looked at the man whom I once called my son.
A tear of rage and sorrow slipped through my eyes, as this was the end of me...
I closed my eyes...
But the gunshot I was supposed to hear didn't come, the only thing I heard was chilling silence for a hint of moment.
I opened my eyes and saw the man who held his gun against my head, he was dead...
With a spear of light passing through his gut, warm blood sipped out of his body.
I looked at Airi and other remaining people who wanted to kill me.
They were all looking in the same direction.
I also followed their gaze as my gaze stopped on the most handsome man I had ever seen, he was standing in the air.
Who was he?
An angel? To save me?
"Hikari Yamamoto, I'm here for you, " she heard the soft but clear voice of the man, as even her old heart fluttered in the response.
" Hikari's Pov end "
Alex looked at the group of cars surrounding the Royally designed car in the center.
He knew that his target was inside, but he didn't make a move as he waited for the chance.
Yaeko and Keiko were left behind as Alex came here quicker, he can't have Hikari dying just because he was late.
Soon Alex saw the video of Hikari's son and understood that both Hikari and the head of the Yamamoto house were murdered by their own grandson or son.
Actually this was the main reason why Yamamoto Clan became weakest among all four Clans in the future, while they were strongest right now.
Kazuya Yamamoto didn't have much talent and the Clan slowly declined because of those hungry wolves inside and outside.
That was the reason why when the Prince of the Yamamoto house was murdered by Arisu, she was safe even then.
Because Yamamoto house was facing internal strife and her aunt Takahashi Hina loved and spoiled her.
That's why Arisu was able to escape from sure death.
Because by then Hina Takahashi was the person who held very strong impact on Yamamoto Clan.
Arisu right now was only 15 years old, Alex knew he had to strike fast because with age she will be harder to get.
Alex thought all this as the time for him to act came.
He quickly used his Creation skill and created a platform in the sky.
Then he used the same skill and created a spear out of nowhere which pierced through the man who had Takahashi Hikari on his gunpoint.
Alex then also killed off all men at the place in next assaults.
As he met the gaze of the women who was admired by many.
Hikari Takahashi was a business talent, she was scheming and shrewd, with her father on death bed, she controlled whole Clan perfectly.
No, she even brought the Clan to one level higher, to become the number one clan amongst the four Royal Clans.
"Hikari Yamamoto, I'm here for you," said Alex, as he moved towards Hikari.
Remaining assassin women tried to stop him but were locked in the place by Alex.
Alex needed a group of lackeys in this world, so for him they were perfect.
These assassin women no doubt came from some very powerful organization, he could use them to infiltrate it and finally take over it.
They were wearing ninja like tight fitting dresses, with their whole body covered in black, with only their eyes open.
They wanted to leave now, because staying here was akin to courting death, they didn't know why they were here, but their women's instincts screamed at them to leave.
As for Hikari, she didn't say anything, as she just looked at Alex.
Even though she was old enough to be Alex's mother's mother, she looked quite beautiful for her age.
She had smooth skin with only some wrinkles around her eyes, which signified her experience and made her even more beautiful.
Her body was nice neither with too large curves neither with too small, just perfect for one to fuck, hidden behind her long red traditional kimono.
As for her eyes, they held the fire of wisdom, her eyes twinkled as she looked at Alex.
Hikari had short black hair and oval face with long eyelashes and big eyes, she no doubt was one of those country falling beauties in her younger days.
But for Alex age didn't matter, rather he liked current Hikari more, it was hard to find a fuckable gilf afterall.
"Hey can you hear me? " said Alex while standing in front of Hikari and giving her a hand.
Hikari took Alex's hand and stood up, her eyes still on Alex's mesmerizing features.
"Hello... " Alex waved his hand in front of Hikari and that's when she woke up from her reverie.
"Yes?... s-sorry for my lack of etiquette there young man, seems you already know me, I am eternally grateful to you for saving this old women's life, " Hikari stuttered in the start but then calmed down suddenly.
"Yes I was looking for you, because I need something from you, " said Alex, he had planned everything and the women in front of him will be his General in this simulated world.
Hikari cocked her head to the side, she looked cute as she asked, " I will do anything for you, if that's in my power. "
Alex grinned widely as he then said, "I'm Alex and I want to be known as Alex Yamamoto. "
"You want to join my family, that's easy... " said Hikari, giving someone their family name wasn't hard.
"No, I want you to adopt me as your son, " said Alex slowly, as Hikari became surprised.
