Chapter 418: Chapter 226: Eldest Son of the Madhouse
You Minglu cradled her chin in one hand, her expression blank, her slightly pouted lips holding a hot, pepper-and-salt French fry.
Her thoughts andered, and her brainstorming churned like a ball of wool rolling along.
While listening to Amiya Sakura’s personal experiences, she wasn’t actually paying much attention. Instead, she was thinking, “Hey… don’t be so lancholic, sis. After all, our comrade Spider Man has done away with your two brothers, and now you’re the sole survivor of the Amiya Family. Logically speaking, your family can’t ignore you anymore. They can’t help but pay attention to you now, right?”
“You’re welco, our Spider Man is just that kind of a good guy.”
As she thought this, You Minglu heard a “ding” notification sound.
[I’m not Ash: Where are you? I’m coming to find you.]
...
She glanced down at her phone screen on the table, picked up the phone, and after sending a ssage to Bai Zini, she slipped it back into her pocket.
[Little Red Riding Hood: McDonald’s, Yandai Comrcial Street, this one. I’ll wait for you here.]
Then she lifted her left hand to support her chin, eyes lowered, as her right hand picked up another French fry and brought it to her mouth.
From ti to ti, she would lift her head and subtly observe Amiya Sakura.
For soone who had just lost two brothers, Amiya Sakura’s deanor was remarkably natural, a faint smile perpetually on her face.
From Amiya Sakura’s behavior, it seed she wasn’t profoundly saddened by the deaths of her brothers—at least she didn’t ntion it to You Minglu. Perhaps her lifeti experiences made it hard for her to feel fondness for her family mbers. So Ke Mingye doing away with Amiya Miren and Amiya Naoto might have actually suited her wishes.
While reflecting sardonically on how much the situation resembled a “hellish joke,” You Minglu suddenly paused, French fry caught mid-air.
Her pearly teeth lightly bit into the end of the fry.
She thought to herself: “That’s right, Ji Feng Samurai ‘Amiya Miren’ is the third son of the Amiya Family, his brother ‘Amiya Naoto’ is the second son, and ‘Amiya Sakura’ is the fourth son. So… who is the eldest son of the Amiya Family? Why haven’t I seen him on TV? ”
“Logically, given the resources of the Amiya Family in Japan, even if their eldest son doesn’t have global influence, he should still be a well-known figure… ”
With that in mind, You Minglu turned on her phone, connected to a VPN, and googled “the eldest son of the mafia family Amiya.”
As expected: the search results were all about Amiya Sakura, Amiya Miren, and the three mbers of the Amiya Family—there wasn’t even a single news piece ntioning the eldest son of the Amiya Family, as if this person had vanished from the earth.
You Minglu scrolled through several pages of search results before putting down her phone.
She thought: It looks like the Amiya Family is deliberately concealing the eldest son’s situation, to the extent that in recent years he has never been allowed to appear in front of the dia, and even online searches for information about him are blocked.
This made it clear that there must be sothing fishy about the eldest son of the Amiya Family; otherwise, they wouldn’t go to such lengths, as if to completely sever ties with this person.
With this thought, You Minglu’s curiosity flared up even more.
While Bai Zini had not yet appeared at the entrance of McDonald’s and Liu Huazi had not returned from the restroom, You Minglu took the initiative to bring up the topic with Amiya Sakura.
She lifted her gaze and looked at Amiya Sakura thoughtfully, asking: “Speaking of which, Kokonoe Sakura, that Ji Feng Samurai I saw on TV before, he was your brother, wasn’t he?”
Upon hearing this, Amiya Sakura t You Minglu’s gaze. Her expression was unexpectedly serene, showing neither resentnt nor the slightest anger.
“Yes,” she said with a slight smile, coolly, “He was my third brother. The family had high hopes for him because he not only had the talent of a curse user but also that of a Superpower User… The family decided that with his abilities, he could surely climb to the top of the Superhero Association, so they invested most of their resources in him, doing everything to nurture him.”
Continuing, Amiya Sakura pushed back a strand of hair from her forehead and spoke in an indifferent tone, “Unfortunately… as you know, he ended up dead in an alley in Shinjuku, taken out by so unknown figures.”
Hearing this, You Minglu feigned surprise and was montarily at a loss for words.
But she thought to herself, “Of course I know, since I’m that ‘unknown figure’… Speaking of which, your brother after all those years of nurturing was just a C rank, and you, a B ranked Superhuman, was a whole level above him. It seems like the bigwigs of the Amiya Family don’t really have much insight.”
“So, are you sad about it?” After a pause, she finally asked.
“I guess I’m okay,” responded Amiya Sakura, musing for a mont before saying, “I used to hate my brothers because of the family, and I even cursed in my heart, hoping they would die so that I wouldn’t be treated like an invisible person anymore, so that my father and mother would spare a glance… even if just for a second.”
She paused and then added: “But when I actually heard the news of his death, for so reason, I didn’t feel any joy or any sense of fortune. Maybe it’s because by that ti I had already earned my family’s respect through my own strength and no longer dwelled on the past, or possibly because… deep down, I still had feelings for him.”
