109. A family discussion

1 hour later..

After comforting her mother in her room, she told their caretaker to keep her company as she arrived here and noticed.

Fuegoloen was sitting near the bed while the old man was leaning his back on the bed.

He looked like he was several years older.

"Old man, if you want to sleep. Sleep. Don't force yourself." Mereoleona reminded her lifeless father and sat on the nearby chair.

"I want to know everything or else I'll be ashamed of myself."

Mereoleona took a breath and spoke, "In that letter, he stated that someone is definitely interfering with his communication."

"What I mean was that our sister had been dead for approximately 2 years and no matter how hard he tried, the letters, they never reached me."

"Impossible!" Fuegoleon shouted in an unbelievable expression, "According to the last information we had, she married the eldest son of Nakiri Family and there was no funeral in the past two years."

"You've got naive after quitting the army, I think." Mereoleona snorted at her useless stupid brother.

"Let me tell you, Naozumi Nakiri left his family long ago and changed his name to Naozumi Miyamura. However, after 2 years, he died leaving our sister and a son al-"

"Wait..Wait." Fuegoleon stopped his sister, earning an annoyed glare from her and asked, "How come it wasn't announced to the outside world either? He was the eldest heir of a family after all. Are Nakiris so powerful that they don't need heirs at all?"

"Stupid Brother! Don't interrupt me again." She frowned as she continued.

"When our brother noticed this anomaly, he tried to investigate and somehow stumbled upon a clue.

Yes, he found out that Naozumi Nakiri's death wasn't a natural cause, and after a lot of digging, he knew the culprits were the Nakiri family."

"Hahaha, sure enough they silence her too."

The Old man who was silent till now laughed mockingly.

Both of them could feel his anger and unwillingness.

After all, if they could kill their own blood without mercy, it means he must have found out some secret that they don't want anyone to know and how could they believe that he hadn't told his wife about it?

Furthermore, till now they had no idea that his wife hailed from the Royal Family.

So, you could say that her brother's protection ended up becoming her misfortune.

"So, what happened to the heir she left behind?" Fuegoleon asked the important question after calming down.

No matter what, the current situation needed to be assessed.

Mereoleona turned her head at the old man and said, "He is the one who you admire, old man."

The old man widened his eyes as he turned towards his daughter to confirm what she said was right or not.

Mereoleona just shrugged.

He laughed loudly but rather it sounded like a heartbroken cry.

"In the past, Father and I worked hard and accumulated Billions of wealth and made our family the strongest for what?! So our children and grandchildren could rest easy and enjoy themselves. But I... my own stubborn decision made them suffer.

Sometimes, I feel that I don't deserve to be a father at all.

The person whom I admired is my own grandchild all along and I don't know how much he has suffered these past years because of me.. Will he be able to forgive me?" He keeps blabbering with tears streaming down his face.

"Father!" Fuegoleon whispered sadly.

In his life, he had never seen his old man like this.

"Keep going on, daughter. I'm fine." The old man wiped his tears and told to go on.

Mereoleona's face suddenly became serious, "Izumi Miyamura, he's not what everyone thinks of him."

"What do you mean?" Fuegoloen was quite puzzled.

"The rumours that were circulating about a person who suddenly took over the whole underworld and became the only underworld boss of Japan.

That was true."

"It is said that that person wiped out half of the gangs just for a simple mistake. The rest of the gangsters surrendered obediently and swore their allegiance to him and him alone."

When she started this, her lips curled up.

Yes, from this she could tell he was a natural born ruler.

Mistake? Nonexistent.

He killed them just to instill fear in the rest and she very much wished to meet him, but shook off these thoughts for now.

The old man also had a small smile, he probably understood her daughter's mood.

This kind of ruthless method reminded him of his dead father.

"I see. So you're saying that Izumi Miyamura and the 'DEVIL' are the same person." Fuegoleon pondered for a while then stated.

"Exactly. And, in the letter, he said that he personally confirmed this."

When she said this, she shuddered a little and this didn't go unnoticed.

"Now, I understood how all those annoying old men of our Vermillion Family disappeared overnight." Fuegoleon leaned back and smiled.

The old man shook his head in disappointment as they were his father's friends and after his death, they became greedy and tried to interfere in family decisions, sometimes he also prayed that they could die somewhere.

If you asked who was the happiest, it would be Mereoleona herself.

She resisted her urge to kill them every time they opened their toothless mouth.

"Yes, he is responsible for blocking our communication these two years."

"Then why did you shudder just now, sister?" Fuegoleon asked seriously.

"Last night.....the attack. It was done by him." Mereoleona tried to stop herself from trembling again, just imagining what she only heard it from her brother made her tremble a little.

"What are you hiding?" Mereoleona couldn't hold it anymore and told them.

"! Last night, he was passing that way and noticed that there were several cars followed by a tank like car and a cage carried on a truck, they went that particular direction he came from.

He was sure that the cage wasn't empty and before he could further assume his guess, his location was spotted. Also, coupled with the fact that what we heard in the early morning, is the best proof.

It was mentioned that he didn't stay for too long as his instincts were ringing rapidly making him a little scared."

Everyone in the room couldn't help but tremble with cold sweat behind their backs.

Although, there was no proof that it was Izumi, but the fact it came from their brother was enough to convince them.

They simply couldn't imagine that scene.

If what he said was true, then even bones won't be left.

Perhaps there might be a leftover, it depends on how hungry those beasts were.

It would be one of the most gruesome torture in modern times if recorded.

You know they were living in the modern era and not in those barbaric eras, where human life was the same as ants.

"Darkness. He's too young to be in contact with it. He might lose his way in pursuit of revenge." The old man shook his head and had made up his mind to go in person to stop him.

"No, you're wrong old man. He has his own family. A group of lovers and a lovely cute daughter. They're his light. I'm sure of it."

Mereoleona retorted back.

In fact, she always hates her father's passive way of dealing with things.

Once upon a time, her father was her idol and now he had changed.

Dealing with everything passively irked her.

Maybe his old age is catching up.

"Hey, how old is he?" Fuegoleon's brain went haywire hearing his nephew already had a daughter.

And here he was, still reminiscing about life.

"Hm, he'll turn 18, this March. He surpassed our brother here too. Our Brother welcomed his first child when he was 18 and I think our nephew did it when he was 14. The most troublesome thing is that, we simply cannot find any information on his lovers, only photos."

"So, what do you think we should do?" Fuegoleon just looked at his father and sister.

"I think we shouldn't interfere with his revenge. Just send some of our men to protect him and his family secretly.."

(A/N: Lol, only if they knew he is more dangerous than several natural disasters combined, they wouldn't think like this.)

Mereoleona put forth her opinion and the other two nodded in acknowledgement.

"Also, don't forget to tell your brother to come back home with his family....at least once." The old man spoke slowly, the last line was barely audible.

"Humph!" Mereoleona simply whiffed and left the room.

"I'll inform him. You should rest now."

Fuegoleon helped his father and waited for him to fall asleep then left closing the door silently.

He didn't directly leave to talk. He walked towards his mother's room to see her.

As for why?

Simple.

He wanted to tell her that she already had three grandchildren and he'd do his best to bring them here for her.

(A/N: So what really happened last night? What kind of beasts did Izumi release when he himself was an incarnation of darkness?)
