Against the Inevitable Destiny
CH 74 - Friction with the Kuro Family

“Greetings, Young Master.”

On a screen in front of me, I could see a middle-aged man in the clothes of a general. Although it seemed that his age was no longer young, it still showed that he was previously a handsome young man.

The middle-aged man did some formal homage to me, which was actually not very suitable for me alone because I preferred freedom, especially after I got my memories back.

“Garden Gen, no need to be too formal. You are in the same generation as my grandfather. After all, I already consider you like my own grandfather. If you are too formal like that, I feel uncomfortable.”

Uncle Gen is part of the Akaasa family. He was a great general in Japan, but was never willing to accept the title. In the family, he is more focused on giving direction to the younger generation by only occasionally acting.

He is one of the most respected figures in the Akaasa Family besides my parents and grandfather.

Every younger generation of the Akaasa family respects him a lot because he has given direction that has greatly helped their growth. They want to be either a researcher, a Warrior, or a Valkyrie.

In addition to being an elder, there is one other identity that he currently holds, namely the manager of 4 Special Forces and 1 Akaasa Family Secret Division.

Uncle Gen was a talented young soldier before he became part of the Akaasa family. But because of a certain incident, he and his wife became the target of Nemesis who at that time was targeting his wife, or rather, the daughter in the womb.

He could not seek anyone's help because the secret he had was so great that there was no one he trusted, including the government.

Ever since they were targeted, Uncle Gen and his wife had basically been able to survive some Nemesis moves. But, at the time of his daughter's birth, it became his weak point.

Fortunately when the situation became very dangerous, my grandfather saved his family.

Basically my Grandfather had analyzed some of the Nemesis moves, especially since he was on his way to hunt them down. After all, he had lost both his parents due to the movements they had made.

When my grandfather found out that there was a family that Nemsis was after, he immediately moved at the right time and then exterminated all the Nemesis groups.

It ended happily for Uncle Gen's family as they gave birth to a healthy and beautiful daughter.

However, the next day, Uncle Gen came to the Akaasa residence and asked to join so that his family could be protected. He realizes that only the Akaasa Family can help him protect his family.

And it didn't disappoint him because the Akaasa family helped him get out of Nemesis's eyes. Since then, he has been practicing very diligently and contributing a lot to the Akaasa family.

“The Akaasa family has helped this old man a lot, so how could this old geezer be so disrespectful. But alright, I won't be too formal if it makes you uncomfortable.”

“Good.”

“So, Young Master, it is very rare for you to contact me.”

Uncle Gen said more casually.

“Yes, I'm sorry for rarely giving you news. There's some things going on here. And as for my reasons, I would like to ask the Arasu Division for help in investigating something.”

“What is it related to Kuro family?”

No wonder Uncle Gen knows some of the latest news about me. After all, he also led all the revisions, so it's not strange.

He probably already guessed some of the friction going on between me and Yami.

Although I thought my dispute with Yami was just a casual little quarrel, but another story if each of us our family found out about it. After all, our family had experienced some friction before, especially after my parents disappeared.

If the two families knew of the friction between us, it would be very bad for our relationship going forward, especially we are the heirs of each family.

Then why am I still on good terms with Yami?

Because it has nothing to do with us. In fact, most of the higher-ups in our family have good relations. After all, the Kuro family was a family worthy of respect. It's just that some of the things that happened have made a good relationship difficult.

“Yeah, something like that. But I just need some evidence, we won't go too deep, in investigating it or we'll be suspected so the family conflict will only get worse. I'll explain the details later.”

“Accepted. I'll tell them soon. It's just that, if Mikoto found out about this, maybe she herself would intervene. You better give him some gifts.”

“Ugh, I'll think about it later.”

“Alright, if that's it.  I'll withdraw.”

"Huft, what a loving father."
