?


    Hikaru nced at Aiko when he heard that, he smiled and said: "The secret of this car... I think the one who knows it best is him, right?"


    He said as he pointed at Rakan: "If I kill him then I can get that car, or to be more precise, the technology driving the car."


    "I don''t need to listen to you or deal with you. Rakan must die, that''s inevitable."


    Aiko shed tears, but her face remained calm: "The technology of this car is tied to his life. If you kill him, the car will self-destruct."


    Hikaru frowned upon hearing that, while ncing at Rakan. Hikaru believed what Aiko had just said, Rakan was a careful person after all, and he will definitely have a n that even if he dies, other people won''t be able to get the cube.


    "But you also said the car is linked with Rakan, so how can you help me get that technology?"


    Aiko shook her head: "No, I have a way to help you get the cube that is manipting and modifying the car."


    "No! Aiko! You''re crazy!" Rakan suddenly shouted: "If he gets that, he''ll kill us all, he''ll..."


    BAM!


    Hikaru kicked Rakan in the face. This one kick caused Rakan to break several of his teeth, but because his hands were severed by Hikaru, he couldn''t use his hands to ease the pain.


    Rakan fell on the ground, the sand and other impurities fell on his wound, causing him to feel even more pain that he couldn''t stand, causing him to only scream and cry.


    Aiko saw Rakan rolling around on the ground in pain, her heart ached, she wanted to go and support him but the chain still tied her legs to the car seat.


    She tried to pull hard, however, the chain couldn''t be broken just by Aiko''s weakness, it made her ankle bleed even more.


    Hikaru saw that her legs were chained and frowned, then looked at Rakan again and shook his head.


    Looks like… this bastard was worried his sister would betray him or cause trouble, so he kept her locked up on purpose.


    He swung his ax, and a streak of light shed, then disappeared in an instant. Aiko jumped, she felt that her legs were lighter.


    She lowered her head, it was true that the chain that bound her legs had broken without her even knowing it.


    ''Could it be… that when the young man swung his ax, it was able to break the chain swiftly?'' Aiko thought in her heart. But she only saw a sh of light and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    Hikaru suddenly spoke up: "If you try to deceive me, you will end up like him."


    Aiko heard Hikaru''s cold voice that sounded like it wasing from hell and trembled with fear.


    She gulped down her saliva, then nodded.


    Aiko struggled to climb out of the rear body of the vehicle, then went to the front body of the vehicle.


    "You… will you spare me and him?"


    Hikaru smiled at that: "Do you think I''ll forgive him?"


    "But… but… he already had his hands cut off."


    Hikaru frowned, and said in his heart: '' I Cut off his hands but his luck was only reduced by 50,000 points. Rakan still has 150,000 Luck, do you think he won''t pose a threat to me?''


    Even though he thought so in his heart, Hikaru just shook his head and said, "Sorry, I won''t forgive the enemy. However, if you can help me get the cube you said, I can let him diefortably."


    "You…" Aiko cried, she knelt on the ground, trembling, begging him: "I beg you… please… spare my brother. I will… I will do anything you want."


    "Anything?"


    Aiko''s body trembled upon hearing that, but then, biting her lip until it bled, she gently nodded: "Yes, I will do whatever you say."


    "Aiko…" Rakany on the ground looking at Aiko and Hikaru, his eyes filled with anger as he shouted: "Don''t… Aiko, don''t listen to him. I don''t need that bastard''s pity."


    "Hm?! You want me to break all your teeth?" Hikaru frowned.


    Suddenly, Aiko grabbed Hikaru''s pant leg, raised her head, and looked him straight in the eye.


    She gritted her teeth, then reached out with her other hand, shakingly pulling up her T-shirt, revealing her snow-white skin underneath.


    She even revealed her tworge mountains surrounded by a white bra filled with innocence.


    Hikaru sighed and shook his head, "Why are you doing this? He caused you a lot of trouble, and he even chained you up like an animal."


    "So… why are you sacrificing so much for him?"


    Hearing that, Aiko didn''t know how to respond. She just shook her head, and cried as she said, "Our parents told us before that we have to take care of him. I know, I''m just an orphan picked up by them."


    "If it weren''t for them, I''d be dead. That''s why, this is the only way I can repay Rakan''s parents."


    Hikaru felt amused when he heard that, he said, "You''re Aiko, aren''t you?"


    "Heh?! Do you know me?" Aiko was a bit surprised, not expecting this young man to know her name.


    "Don''t you remember who I am?"


    "You…" Aiko tried to rummage through her memories, however she didn''t seem to know anything.


    Besides, Aiko also didn''t know who Hikaru was, anyway she was only interested in going to school and working part-time to earn money, so she was not interested in other things.


    Suddenly, a bad premonition appeared in Rakan''s mind, he tried to suppress the pain that was tormenting him as he shouted: "Aiko, don''t listen to what he says! Aiko, run away, don''t mind me."


    Aiko nced at Rakan, however, Hikaru''s words caught her attention because Aiko''s intuition was telling her that perhaps Hikaru would say something very important.


    Hikaru sighed and said, "Haizz, even though you don''t remember who I am, I remember you very well. You have a tattoo on your back, about 20cm from your back, don''t you?"


    "Heh?! Why do you know that?" Aiko was startled, she felt extremely surprised when Hikaru knew about it she was so shocked she blurted out: "No way! Even Rakan doesn''t know about this. Why do you know that?"


    Hikaru smiled and said, "Of course I know very well, I even know that it''s a circle tattoo with a special character in the middle, right?"


    Aiko suddenly blushed and stammered, "You… you peeked at me changing clothes?"


    "Are you stupid? Why should I peek at you changing clothes? It''s just… I know your past very well."


    "What?! Are you… are you telling the truth?"


    "He is not! Shut up! You should shut up!" Rakan suddenly shouted, he screamed in vain because Aiko was now only paying attention to Hikaru.


    Hikaru knelt on the ground so he could get a better look at her, his eyes met hers and said, "If you want to know the truth, you have to pay a pretty heavy price."


    He said while using his index finger to lift Aiko''s chin, her still bleeding lips made her even cuter, making other people just want to ''torture'' her more.


    "You… but… I… I have nothing to give you."


    "No, you have a lot, especially your loyalty." Hikaru smiled and said, "And that cube too."


    Aiko''s face turned even redder now, like a ripe apple that would make anyone looking at it want to take a bite.


    "I… but you haven''t made it clear who you are, what do you know about me?"


    Hikaru smirked, "Hahaha… my name is Hikaru, I''m the son of the richest man in this city, Hodai."


    "Hikaru? Ah! I have heard about you… but… it seems that the rumors about you arepletely different."


    "Rumorse from other people''s mouths, of course it won''t be true."


    "So… what does that have to do with me?"


    "Of course it is rted. Don''t you remember who saved you when you were young?"


    "Save me? You mean… you saved me when I was young? But… I don''t remember that. Besides, I''m in no danger for you to save me."


    Hikaru shook his head, and began to exin: "You are not the biological child of the Rakan family."


    Aiko nodded: "I know that. When I was 7 years old, Rakan''s parents adopted and protected me."


    Hikaru shook his head again, he sighed: "No, you are wrong. Rakan''s parents are the ones who kidnapped you."


    "What?!" Aiko was startled, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Hikaru: "No way, they… how could they do that."


    "Hikaru, you bastard! Aiko, don''t listen to him, he''s talking nonsense, Aiko!!!" Rakan screamed in despair.


    Hikaru nced at him, his gaze cold. He stood up and walked over to Rakan, but Aiko''s hand was still gripping his pant leg.


    "You… Please, don''t hurt him. Tell me what happened."


    ''The fish has bitten the hook.'' Hikaru thought to himself, then he said: "Your real name is Ayasane Aiko, the princess of the Ayasane family, one of thergest families in this city."


    "However, when you were 6 years old, your family was exterminated by other ns, and you were lucky to survive along with the housekeeper of the Ayasane family."


    "But… that housekeeper is a spy, and also Rakan''s father. He sold the information of the Ayasane family to other ns, so your n perished."


    "You are lying!" Rakan shouted: "Aiko, don''t listen to him. He is lying! He is taking advantage of your trust."


    "Silence!" Suddenly, Aiko shouted.


    That''s right, the one who shouted was Aiko, not Hikaru. She looked at Hikaru, her lips trembling but couldn''t say anything.


    "its very hard to believe, isn''t it? However, it is all true. My n doesn''t go to war because in my eyes, House Ayasane is just a small, unimportant n."


    "However, any major family in this city knows that story very well."


    Aiko trembled, not knowing whether to believe Hikaru or not because the information was so horrible, it made her brain unable to think of anything.


    "You should believe me because you and I met at a party of the elite before."


    "Heh?! You mean…"


    "That''s right." Hikaru nodded: "You were only four years old then, me and you, and the other kids were ying in the garden, at your family''s private mansion."


    "At that time, you identally fell into the aquarium, but I saved you, that''s how I saw the tattoo on your back."


    "That tattoo proves that you are from the main bloodline of the Ayasane family."
