?


    Aiko was surprised, but then she immediately asked, "But… you''ve never seen my back, how do you know I have a tattoo on my back?"


    Hikaru smiled and said, "Didn''t you hear who I said I was just now? I am the son of the richest man in this city, Hikaru."


    "All the information in this city, as long as I want it, I can know it."


    "And… Do you think with your beauty you can live peacefully for the past 13 years?"


    Aiko was startled hearing that.


    That''s right, Aiko, despite her extremely beautiful beauty, has never used it as a tool to make money.


    Moreover, she never got into trouble even though she came home from workte at night.


    When her friends go to work with her as a waitress, someone would actively tease or flirt with them although they are not as pretty as her.


    But no one seems to notice her, not even the thugs make fun of her.


    "Did you realize it?"


    Hearing Hikaru''s words, Aiko looked at him with eyes filled with confusion and surprise.


    Hikaru continued: "Besides… don''t you think you''re luckier than the people around you? You always find a good job, the sry is higher than others, do you think all of that is due to your efforts?"


    "Could it be…" At this point, Aiko seemed to realize something, she asked: "You… you helped me?"


    Hikaru nodded, then shook his head again, "Not really. I''m just keeping you safe, I don''t know about other things."


    "Perhaps… the other ns felt that you were pitiful, so they decided to support you, so that you can be a normal person for the rest of your life."


    Aiko felt like she didn''t know what to do, what to say. She looked like she was struck by lightning, as she was unable to ept what Hikaru said.


    However, when she thought about it carefully, what he said made perfect sense.


    Her path was too easy, even though her family is poor, she could easily get a good job with a high sry.


    Even in the process of working, she did not encounter any problems. Whether she broke the rules of the workce or made a lot of mistakes, the managers in the ces where she worked were very gentle with her.


    Is it… everything is like what Hikaru just said, was she really the daughter of the Ayasane family?


    "But… but… at least… Rakan''s father protected me and took care of me until I grew up."


    "Even though he made a mistake, but then…"


    "Hahaha…" Suddenly, Hikaru burst outughing: "You really are an idiot, Aiko."


    "Do you think he really loves you, because he takes care of you?"


    "Heh?! What do you mean…" Aiko suddenly trembled.


    Hikaru smiled and said, "When your biological father and mother were about to die, they had to kneel at Rakan''s father''s feet to pray for you to live."


    "Even, your father and mother agreed to give all of their remaining possessions to Rakan''s father just so you could live. However… you should touch your head, in this position…"


    Suddenly, Hikaru pointed to the top of his head, leaning slightly to the right.


    Aiko didn''t raise her hand to touch her head because she knew what was there.


    "You know there''s a wound there, right?"


    Hearing Hikaru''s words, Aiko nodded: "That''s right. My father, no, Rakan''s father said that when I was a child, I identally fell down the stairs, that''s why I got this wound."


    "Hahaha… do you believe that?"


    "Was… but… can you tell me the truth?"


    "Of course. Anyway… you also agreed to give me everything that is yours, including yourself."


    Hearing that, Aiko''s body suddenly trembled.


    "Stop! Aiko, please… he''s lying, don''t listen to him." Rakan shouted with all his might, tears and blood smeared across his face.


    The constant pain that tormented him drove him crazy. However, Aiko was hisst spiritual support, his only rtive.


    No matter how painful he tried to pull Aiko out of the stinking mud, he had to pull Aiko away from Hikaru.


    Hikaru frowned, he also knew that Rakan was just trying to scream with his weak breath.


    He won''t scream for long. However, Hikaru was also surprised that Rakan could endure such a terrible wound for such a long time.


    Ah! Because he is the main character.


    Aiko bowed her head, gritted her teeth, then nodded, softly saying, "Please… tell me the truth."


    Hikaru smiled and said, "Even though your father and mother gave all the remaining assets to Rakan''s father at that time, he still did not let you go."


    "First, he killed your parents, then threw you down the stairs."


    "Even though your head was injured, you still didn''t die, as your life is too strong."


    "At that time, another n that had nothing to do with the war of the Ayasane n appeared to put an end to this war asking Rakan''s father to let you go."


    "Because of your head injury, you forgot everything and started a new life as the adopted daughter of the Rakan family."


    "You have been given a mission to be his wife, you must take care of and be Rakan''s reproductive tool."


    Aiko who heard that trembled more violently, her hands sped together, and her eyes blurred with tears.


    Too awful…


    Too nauseous…


    "So… is everything that happened in the past 13 years a lie?"


    Hikaru nodded: "Yes, it''s all lies."


    "AAAA!!!!" Aiko suddenly screamed, her screams were filled with despair and pain, as tears flowed like a stream.


    Her mind was in turmoil, her heart seemed to be squeezed so hard that it was about to break.


    "Why?! Why are you treating me like this?! Why?!" Aiko shouted, she used all her strength to scream so her voice was starting to get hoarse.


    "Aiko… please… don''t listen to him. Let''s…"


    "Hikaru…" Suddenly, Aiko spoke up, interrupting Rakan''s words: "Rakan… does he know about this?"


    Hikaru shrugged and said, "Of course he does. Anyway his parents told him that they would raise you and raise you to be his wifeter. Even the will says all about this."


    "However, he was afraid that you wouldn''t ept the truth so he decided to burn the will."


    Hearing that, Aiko looked at Rakan who was lying on the ground, covered in blood.


    However, right now, she didn''t feel pity or pain for Rakan. On the contrary, her gaze turned cold and filled with anger.


    "Is what Hikaru said true?"


    Hearing Aiko speak, Rakan took a deep breath, then said: "No, he is lying. Our Parents died in an ident, leaving no wills.


    "Aiko, you must believe me. Your parents really saved you, you at that time…"


    "Silence!" Aiko suddenly shouted: "Hikaru, you said that Rakan''s father took all of my family''s remaining assets, so why are they still living in poverty?"


    "Because of gambling." Hikaru said with a smile, "Rakan''s father owes arge amount of money because of gambling since he was serving the Ayasane family. He sold the information of the Ayasane family in exchange for money to repay the debt."


    "However, his nature will of course not change. After acquiring your parents'' property, he continued to burn it into gambling games."


    "In the end, he and his wife were killed by creditors, which they disguised as an ident."


    Rakan angrily shouted: "No! You are lying! You are lying! I won''t allow you to speak ill of my parents!"


    "AAA!!! Hikaru, even if I die I will not forgive you! I will kill you! I''ll chew your bones, drink your blood!"


    Even though Rakan cursed at him a lot, he just smiled silently because he knew Aiko was thinking and confirming the information he just said.


    That''s right, Aiko was recalling the information in her memory.


    ''Rakan''s father is indeed a gambler, and his mother is a greedy one.''


    ''If… if I connect the information that Hikaru told me with what I know, then everything really matches up and makes perfect sense.''


    Aiko suddenly remembered what her father and mother always pinned on her head.


    ''You have to know how to cook to suit Rakan''s taste.''


    ''You have to know how to do housework.''


    ''Aiko, you have to have children, the more the better. Especially a son.''


    ''Aiko, you can''t go far, you don''t need to study too much. Just knowing how to take care of Rakan is enough.''


    ''Aiko…''


    ''Aiko…''


    ''Aiko…''


    She sat helplessly on the ground, however, she was no longer crying. Her tears seemed to have dried up, leaving only the hatred and pain inside her heart.


    Rakan gritted his teeth, his gaze filled with hatred towards Hikaru.


    Faced with that gaze, Hikaru just shrugged and smiled scornfully. Of course he wasn''t afraid of Rakan, he even wanted Rakan to get even more angry.


    "So… what are you going to do next? Do you still want me to let him go?" Hikaru spoke up.


    Aiko shivered, her arms wrapped around herself as if she was feeling cold.


    Hikaru could only shake his head at this, it seemed that Aiko could no longer think of anything.


    In the end, killing Rakan was the best solution. Even if he didn''t get the cube, the luck points he would get after killing Rakan was more than enough.


    "Wait!" Suddenly Aiko spoke up.


    Hikaru stopped and looked in her direction.


    Aiko stood up and walked in front of Rakan. At this moment, her face was filled with anger, as it was no longer innocent like before.


    "Rakan… even though your parents killed my parents, even then, I had to take care of you for more than 5 years."


    "However, in the past five years, I have neverined. I even thought that I would be with you forever."


    "But I was wrong. Everything is a lie, I want to kill you, cut you into a hundred pieces."


    "No! Aiko… please… Please don''t listen to him." Rakan begged, his voice trembling with fear and pain.


    Aiko shook her head: "I really want to kill you, but… if I do, I''ll be no different from your parents. Besides… the time I was with you, I also considered you as my brother."


    "Rakan… this is thest time I will help you, and thest time we will see each other as family."


    "The next time we meet again, then, we will be enemies."
