EIGHT TARGETS
75. Lu Shou's anger

“Haik, haik, haik, wakarimashita, Otou-sama!”  In the Dewantara family room, Airi spoke on her mobile phone.

“How's Airi-san?”  Ask Kaiser.  The whole family stared at Airi.

“It seems wrong no more.  Lu Tianfeng, Lu Meilan, and Lu Xinting had been killed in that tragic calamity.  The culprits were the two cultivators sent to kill you, Kaiser.”  Airi replied with seeming disbelief in what she said herself.

“Why can it be like that?”  Ask Mr. Arkias curious.

“I also don't know, Uncle.”

“Does that mean, Kaiser is safe?”  This time the one who asked curiously was Mr. Arkias' sister, Mr. Lucias.

Airi seemed hesitant to answer.

“There's still that mysterious serial killer.  We can't let our guard down.”

Hearing Mr. Arkias' words, Mr. Lucias and Ms. Nana again could not help his anxiety.

“Lantas what should we do, Brother?”  Ask Mr. Lucias looking for hope for his brother.

“Entahlah.  Whatever it is, we have to get ready because Airi will soon return to her family, regarding her contract with me unexpectedly sooner ending with the calamity of Lu Tianfeng's murder.”

Mr. Arkias answered his sister's question, unfortunately with an answer that increasingly made Mr. Lucias' heart was troubled.

Mr. Lucias hugged his son Kaiser tightly.  “I won't be able to if anything happens to you, my son.”

“Just calm Dad, we'll be able to go through all this well.  After all, the serial killer was after me just speculation.  If he wanted to, when I met him at Senior Araka villa complex, he would have already killed me.”

Mr. Lucias kept hugging his son tightly lovingly.  Mr. Lucias is crying.  Ms. Nana who saw the scene also let out tears and also hugged the two of them gently.  Mr. Arkias who saw that, can only look down concerned.

“Take it easy, Uncle Lucias.  I just received a new mission from Otou-sama to protect Kaiser until the problem against the serial killer is finished.”

“From Great Lord Shinomiya Aizen?  But why?”  Ask Mr. Arkias astonished.

“That I don't know either.  In addition, Otou-sama also told me to take care of Dios.”

Hearing that, Mr. Arkias was surprised.  Not only Mr. Arkias, all other family members are like that.

Kaiser, Agni, and Shinomiya Airi then left for school with Mr. Salman as usual.  However, as soon as it left the gate of his house, the entourage was suddenly intercepted by a young man.

“Hey, young man!  What are you doing?!  Danger know!”  Mr. Salman was angry that the young man suddenly stood in front of the speeding car.

That young man, was none other than Lu Shou, Lu Tianfeng's first child from his second wife.

“Pak Salman, let me handle.”

“Young Master, where are you going?”  Mr. Salman was about to intercept his young master to disembark, but after seeing the cue from Agni to let him go, he complied.

Kaiser opens the car door and exits.  Airi follows behind him, while Agni prefers to entrust the young master's guard to Airi and decides to stay in the car.

“Lu Shou, are you okay?”  Kaiser asked Lu Shou.

Lu Shou with teary eyes hugged Kaiser tightly as he sobbed.

Kaiser then stroked the hair of the young man who was much taller than him.  Kaiser then said, “Express all your emotions and do not take it anymore.”

Lu Shou also lowered his head.  Cheering his teary head behind Kaiser's fragile-looking shoulders while squeezing Kaiser's shoulders firmly.

“But, even with such a father, when I found out he was unnaturally killed, my heart ached.  It hurts so much, Kaiser!  Hey, what do I do to ease this pain in my heart?”  Said Lu Shou slightly raising his voice.

He then threw Kaiser's body strong but still held tightly.

Shinomiya Airi who had been gawking since she did not understand what Lu Shou said in Chinese, was shocked by Lu Shou's sudden movements.

“Hei.”

He then snapped at her and wanted to immediately release Kaiser from his entanglement that seemed to be in pain by the grasp.  However, Kaiser raised his hand a sign of the ban for Airi to intervene.

“Hei, Kaiser!  You really aren't involved with any of this right?!  Answer me honestly!”

Lu Shou this time snapped with an extremely loud voice that made Airi wary.  Kaiser looked at Lu Shou's eyes.

“I myself do not know.”

“What does all that mean?!  So you're really involved?!  Those are your men?!”

Lu Shou shook Kaiser's body so strongly that it made Kaiser's expression slightly nauseous.  Agni decided to get off the car.

“That's enough to get there, Mr. Lu Shou.  You've been over.”  Says Agni in fluent Chinese.

Once again Kaiser raised his hand which also forbade Agni from getting involved.

With eyes fixed while staring at Lu Shou, Kaiser said, “I don't know, but I never had any intention of doing it myself, especially to do such a cruel act.”

Kaiser.  His face changed.  He continued, “Only, in my heart was implied feelings to kill him.  With nothing wrong with him, he just sent a hit man to me.  I was terrified about what was going to happen to my family because of what he did.  Honestly, when I heard the news of his death, I felt a sense of relief.  This way, my family can be safe, I thought.”

“What is it?”  Lu Shou stared in astonishment at Kaiser's words.

Kaiser also brushed off Lu Shou's grasp while shouting furiously, “Lantas is wrong if I think like that?!  I don't even have the intention to do it at all.  I only thought about it in my mind to suppress the tormented feelings in my mind due to his actions!”

Kaiser fell down crying.  Lu Shou also reached for that fragile shoulder.  “Kaiser, you..?”

“Not just once or twice.  Every time I hate someone and think in my heart of killing them, those people are really dead.  Hey, Lu Shou!  Is it really my fault?”  Kaiser said with a sob.  Tears on his cheeks.

“Young Master, where could it possibly be your fault?  If thinking of something evil is also including evil, then in this world there are definitely no more good people.”  Shouted Agni who looked hurt by the sentimental words of her young master.

“Why is it so hard to suppress hatred against those who do evil to us?”

“Young Master, relax!”

Agni also reached for the fragile shoulder.  Lu Shou who saw the scene could only fall silent.  He was doubtful about what really happened.

“Ah, forgive me.  Though I was about to comfort you who are sad, but even I am sentimental like this.”

Kaiser looked at Lu Shou.  This time with a face full of a princely smile.

“Excite, Lu Shou!  There will always be a path in the midst of adversity as long as we never give up looking for it.  And when we find that path, happiness will wait for us at its end.  As for the twists and turns of the difficult road it will only be our laughter when enjoying our beautiful days in the future.  So, stay up!”

Kaiser said with his princely smile.
