Chapter 516 - HIS UNDYING LOVE

The unusual driver whistled happily as he drove Ayumi through the streets of Tokyo. He glanced at her a couple of times to make sure that she was still unconscious. Despite her lack of awareness, she was still a well-known ninja ȧssassin. 

Her tolerance for sedative drugs might be quite good. 

Fortunately for him, Ayumi continued sleeping even as they left the main parts of town and headed to the industrial district. Since it was deep in the night, the roads were clear. The only people who could be seen were random loiterers and diligent security guards. 

The driver continued to a section of the industrial area with a few vacant buildings. These buildings were old and condemned due to a chemical spillage accident that happened some time back. The compound was quite persistent in the soil. 

Therefore, the spaces were considered unusable due to the potential risk of contamination. 

Once the driver entered the property where the chemical plant was situated, he parked the vehicle and got out. A man and a woman appeared from the shadows and looked at the driver with questioning eyes. 

"How was it?" The woman asked.

"Surprisingly easy." The driver responded smugly. "I cannot believe that she is supposed to be the current leader of the Shadow Brotherhood." 

The other two people laughed. 

"I mean, seriously. How would anyone not find a taxi parked in such a strange area suspicious? And she just entered the vehicle without even checking my face. Not that she would even remember my name." The driver added with a snort. 

"The rest of the people are waiting inside. Let's go." The woman said. 

She opened the back seat and pulled on Ayumi's arm, intending to drag her out. However, despite the use of a sedative, Ayumi was sėnsɨtɨvė to people's touch. Even though she was unconscious, she would wake up if someone touched her. 

She immediately pulled her arm from the woman who was holding her. Then, she turned her body with incredible flexibility and lifted her legs. Finally, she kicked out at the woman who was trying to get her out of the vehicle.

Ayumi was quick, but she was still not able to land a solid hit. The other woman reacted quite quickly and jumped out of the way of the long legs. As soon as that person backed away, Ayumi took the opportunity to slide out of the vehicle.

When she saw the additional two men and the environment, she held a fighting stance. She could tell that the current situation was not good. She was too careless after leaving Yagi's hotel. As a result, she did not notice when the driver plotted against her. 

"Who are you?" She asked. 

The three people were struck speechless for a long moment before they started laughing. To them, the current situation was too hilarious. The person who made their lives fall apart to the extent they did not dare show their faces did not recognise them.

"You will find out soon enough." The driver replied. "Your judgement begins tonight." 

Ayumi's face became cold. She was not sure if she could win against these three people, but she wanted to try to escape. If she fell completely into their hands, she would be rendered helpless. It was possible she would die. 

Therefore, without waiting for another word, she attacked the woman who was closest to her. The woman parried her attacks with ease. She dodged and returned as much as she got. Furthermore, her punches and kicks were stronger and sleeker than Ayumi's. 

The two men watched with interest, but they also maintained their vigilance. Ayumi was a little weak, but she could be crafty. The woman fighting with Ayumi continued pushing her back with her fierce attacks.

In a sudden move, Ayumi slid over the car and landed on the other side. Before the three could react, she jumped into the car and took over the driver's seat. Her lips stretched into a smile as she reversed the vehicle. 

Without wasting time, she started driving out of the property. 

At the same time, she took out her phone and dialled a number she rarely called. She was completely desperate and knew that the man had the ability to turn the situation around for her. 

"Hello." The man answered coolly. 

"Ogawa, I need your help." She shouted as finally passed through the gate of the chemical plant.

She looked through the rare view mirror and found that the people behind her were no longer three. It was a small crowd. It looked like her predicament was a little more serious than she thought. She needed help as soon as possible. 

"Come to the industrial district, and bring some helpers. The situation is a bit serious." She ordered Ogawa. 

The person on the other side of the line did not respond immediately. 

The relationship between Ogawa and Ayumi was not considered good at the moment. The two of them grew up together in the mountains alongside Kaito, but they were in a different group from Kaito. Kaito was the star of the school, and he was a focused and hardworking boy. 

Therefore, the three people did not have a lot of interactions, especially after Hu Lei joined the school. Kaito had a playmate who he acknowledged as a rival, so the other children faded even more into the background. 

As Ayumi was watching Kaito with starry eyes from the shadows, another boy was watching Ayumi with love in his young heart. That boy was called Ogawa. He had been devoted to Ayumi for so long, that Kaito had brought him up during that fateful evening in Mountain Ridge.

Unlike Ayumi, Ogawa was not the type to just stick in the shadows. He befriended Ayumi with a cheerful smile, and they quickly became good pals. Once they were a little older, he told Ayumi directly that he liked her. 

She smiled shyly and said she already had someone she liked. Ogawa smiled back and said he knew about it, but he thought that one day he would convince her that he was the best one for her. 

He was going to wait until she turned around and looked at him.
