Chapter 13: Trekking

Akami Yoshida is deep inside the Kagaru Hills, in the Kagaru Province district.

The thirty-four-year-old attractive lady wore mountaineering boots, above-the-leg denim shorts that exposed her thick thighs and fair-skinned legs, and a crop top that exposed her sexy body.

She has a backpack slung on her back.

Her handsome and well-built male guide wore men's sandals, khaki shorts, and a blue t-shirt that exposed his chiseled abdomen.

He has a fedora on his head and slung a backpack on his shoulders.

He has a Bluetooth headset slung on his neck, blaring rock music out loud.

She's been trekking along with a handsome and well-built male guide named Mitsuko Ishikawa for a few hours already while talking, and holding hands.

"So, Mitsuko, how long have you been working as a travel and tour guide?"

"Being a travel and tour guide is just a sideline for me, so I can earn extra money for myself. I work as a supervisor in an electronics factory in Akiko City District. "

Mitsuko said while trekking.

"As for me, I'm a money-lender. I own pawnshops all over Eloria. "

Akami said a half-truth.

In reality, she's a scammer who scams the poor.

She promised them that their money will triple fast and that she has a business where she'll make good use of their money and use it to charge the needy at usurious rates.

She just smiled sweetly at him, then they continued their conversation.

"Anyway, miss Akami, I've been working since I was fifteen. You see, I used to live in the slums of Kuragari. My parents are a rough, unpresentable, and rowdy bunch. My father took on odd jobs while my mother often stayed at home. I had 11 siblings."

"As for me, I grew up in a middle-class low family. I have no siblings. My parents were office employees."

"We've arrived at the resting shed at the end of the trail. Let's rest up before we trek to the exit of the trail, where our service car will be waiting."

Mitsuko winked at Akami, then kissed the hand he held while gazing deep into her eyes.

Akami fished out her smartphone and took a selfie, then she snapped a picture of Mitsuko kissing his hand while gazing at her.

She pulled out a tripod from her backpack, fixed her smartphone on the tripod, and requested Mitsuko to take a selfie with her.

Mitsuko happily obliged, and they took a selfie picture with Mitsuko kissing her on the cheeks, and holding her hands.

They took some more photos until they realized they both needed to rest first.

They both unclasped their hands and went inside the resting shed.

After they put their bags on the table, Akami whispered something to Mitsuko's ears.

"The kiss you gave me earlier made my pussy wet. Are you up for a quickie?"

"You mean right there and then?"

Mitsuko asked, slightly taken aback while seated as he watched Akami remove her clothes right in front of him.

"Yes. Are we going to do it or not?"

Akami said impatiently after she finished undressing.

Then she sat on Mitsuko's lap and guided his right hand down to her pussy, while his left hand automatically groped her breast.

"Hurry up and decide already. We don't have all day."

Mitsuko got turned on.

He fingered her for a few minutes while groping her breast, making her moan his name out loud.

Then he had her stand up for a minute while he pulled down his pants and underwear.

He made her kneel, and she started blowing him until he shot his load straight into her mouth.

He made her sit on his lap and fingered her again while groping her breasts.

It made her moan out loud.

He then inserted his boner inside her cunt and started thrusting in and out for a few minutes until he came inside of her.

"The sex is great. You're good."

Mitsuko said while they cleaned up and put on their clothes again.

"My pleasure to have sex with you, too. Your moans made me hornier earlier. Let's do it again later when we get back. Are you ok with it?"

Akami said, winking at him.

"Sure. Let's do it again later."

Mitsuko winked back at her.

Then they both ate their precooked and prepackaged food together.

Akami took some selfies and even pictured the cool and refreshing view of the serene and calming hillside while eating.

Being in her birthplace made the memories of her past wash over her once more.

She was born in the Province District of Kagaru, right in the city proper.

She studied at a public school in Kagaru City Proper during her primary years.

Her parents were Province District employees who quit their jobs to move to Akiko City District's greener pastures.

They both managed to find a job as stay-in warehouse inventory associates in a large warehouse.

They decided to bring Akami along, who had just finished primary schooling.

Since Akami passed her primary school years at the top of her class and was an ace lawn tennis athlete, she had no problem getting admission to Akita University on a full scholarship during Junior High School.

She got a culture shock at first the moment she entered Akita University.

However, she worked hard to catch up in an elite, exclusive school filled with rich students.

She always turned heads wherever she went with her toned, athletic, sexy, and flawless body, aside from her cute and beautiful face.

She always topped her class and gave opponents a hard time beating her when she was on the lawn tennis court, bagging the gold medal most of the time.

She also passed her Senior High and College years with flying colors.

She was the pride of her parents.

Unknown to her parents, instructors, tennis coach, and peers, she hid a dark and predatory side.

She preyed on the poor and the needy, by luring them with grow your money quick schemes.

She promised them quick earning money, instant returns, and that she will pour their money to help improve a non-existent business.

Then she used the money she ran off with to become a loan shark, loaning out money back to the poor at usurious rates.

Those who failed to pay got sent quickly to the cemetery or else to prison.

She used the money she obtained from scamming the poor into buying her way into those involved with illegal smuggling and trafficking.

She disposed of those who crossed her by making them the fall guy, or else eliminating them herself with her life-steal magic, then sending them straight to the cemetery afterward.

She ran her criminal activities online, making sure to hide her real identity, and letting only a few trusted people know who she is.

It all started when she was still fourteen years old. Her otherwise uneventful high-school days were disrupted when she almost got abducted in the seedy side of Kuragari District, where slum-dwellers mostly live.

Since then, she swore revenge on those who nearly abducted her, and they were her very first scam victims.

She eventually set up legit businesses as a cover for her illegal activities.

Years passed, and she eventually got to know the other high leaders of The Renegades, and even the Grand Leader himself.

Kaede Komiyama is trekking up Toshiko Peak, with a hot male guide for a companion.

"Just a little bit more, Miss Kaede, and we'll soon arrive at the peak."

Isamu Hagino, her handsome guide, said to her.

"Of course, Isamu. I know it."

Kaede replied.

"I like you. You're a natural, Miss Kaede. Why did you pay for my services as a guide when you look like you don't need one?'

Isamu replied.

"I'm new to this mountain range. I don't know this place yet. You used to be a local here."

Kaede pointed out.

Then the two continued talking until they finally arrived at the peak.

When they arrived at the peak, they took a selfie together while holding hands, then started snapping pictures of the background filled with trees after they finished setting up their tent.

They brought out their prepacked food and started eating.

While Kaede ate her food, memories of her not-so-nice past started flooding over her once again.

She was born rich to the elite Komiyama family, who had a remarkable rags-to-riches story, and is now enmeshed in the business and political scene in Eloria.

A few of her relatives have important government posts, while the rest helped to manage the family business.

Her family is involved in the clothes manufacturing, importing, and exporting business.

They operate on an industrial scale, and they make billions just by making and selling clothes.

She studied at Akita University from preschool to college.

She's always the popular girl inside and outside the campus, with her good looks, flawless and fair skin, and sexy athletic body. She's also smart and lowkey dangerous, being a taekwondo black belter.

She's an outgoing, friendly, and bubbly person by nature, well-liked by everyone.

She always topped her class, and also excelled in extracurricular activities.

She graduated with a B.S. Psychology major in Abnormal Psychology at Hakito University, even becoming Magna Cum Laude in her class.

She worked as a private counselor, and she also worked in a clinical setting after she graduated from college. She even set up her own food business, as she likes to cook.

Her patients and workmates know her as a nice, attractive, and smart lady.

She's also active in family affairs since the early age of thirteen.

At that age, she confirmed what she has suspected all along, that her otherwise well-respected family is also involved in shady businesses with those involved in crimes, and plays dirty so they can preserve their foothold in the business and political scene.

When she confronted her mother about it, the reply she got shocked her to the core. She understood why they did what they had to do back then now.

"It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, Kaede. Only the fittest, the strongest, survive and make it to the top. It's also hard maintaining it. The law of the jungle. What would you prefer? Live in the slums and suffer in poverty and crime with your so-called honest living? Look at those slum dwellers you pity. Did their good morals uplift them? No. Do they have abundant food on the table? No. They can't even provide for their kids. I lived in the slums before, and trust me, you wouldn't want to experience it."

"But mother, "

She tried to cut her mother off mid-sentence.

"But what daughter? That we are no different from those who turned to a life of crime? Yes, we're not. What's the difference? We live a comfortable life, they don't. They respect us and leave us alone, while those ordinary criminals get raided daily and handed down heavy, unfair sentences for stealing a loaf of bread. Now choose."

Her mother abruptly ended her statement before Kaede could question her again.

She accepted the fact later on and became an expert in mind-control magic.

Everyone who knew her, except for her family who purposefully turned her into a psychopathic

monster for the sake of the family knew she had a ruthless streak when crossed.

She eliminated those who crossed her or her family without a question, by having them commit suicide through mind-control with her watching, or else sent them directly to prison or to their graves, also through mind-control.

Her parents helped fund the Renegades, while at the same time keeping close ties with the current Premier.

She still remembered how she became a High Leader for The Renegades.

She sat down at some restaurant in upscale Akiko, eating the meal she ordered and minding her own business when a person approached her.

The person is Akami Yoshida, who sought her out, and requested her to become a part of the Renegades.

She blended perfectly into the organization because of her hidden, psychopathic and ruthless nature.

She stayed in the Renegades since then.
