Chapter 9

Walking in the big traditional villa, was Meguro together with the old man with white slicked back hair.

Meguro was dressed in a black suit that was opened revealing a white shirt and no tie.

His pants were the same color as the suit and he had black loafers on his feet.

As they got in front of a door, the old man said with a stoic expression while putting his hand forward.

"You're not allowed with guns when meeting the family head.

I ask of you to give them to me until your meeting is finished."

Meguro smiled and said. "As sharp as ever, Hikoichi."

He took off his whole jacket and gave it to the old man.

The jacket was equipped with some weapons and it was even bulletproof.

After receiving the jacket, the old man smiled with his eyes closed and said. "It's just precaution since you can't always be too safe."

Meguro smiled too and thought. 'As if I could get alive out of here if I tried anything in here.

You being here is already enough to make any man alive think twice about trying anything.'

Hikoichi is a man whose been with the family for as long as he could remember and a very skilled fighter.

Most people who know him would think twice of attacking him under any circumstance.

But Meguro wasn't most people and neither was he afraid of him.

Meguro opened the door in front of him and entered the room.

The room was very big, but it was empty.

The only thing that this room had inside was one chair in which a person was sitting.

The person was a middle-aged man with long slicked back blond hair.

The man had long and thin eyes that revealed cold black eyes that had no expression in them whatsoever.

The man had on a black shirt with it's sleeves pulled upwards revealing his forearms and grey pants.

That man was Toake Yamashita.

Just seeing him was enough to tell that this man wasn't someone you would want to mess with.

The man smiled a little and he said. "What're you doing, not going to greet your father?"

Even though he said that, he didn't even get up from his chair to greet him.

The look in Meguro's eyes was cold, exuding the same air of coldness that his father had.

After looking around for a very short moment, Meguro started running towards his father.

Even though the distance between the two of them was big, he arrived in front of his father in a short amount of time.

Meguro's leg was raised above his head while standing in front of his father with a cold look in his eyes.

*SWOOSH* *BAM*

His leg seemed to blur out of vision and all that could be figured out was the sound of two hard objects colliding together.

Toake had both of his hands raised upwards blocking his son's attack with a smile on his face.

The impact was so hard that Toake's feet were carved into the wooden floor.

Toake smiled and said. "You'd dare attack your father right after seeing him in a long time?"

The cold look in Meguro's eyes disappeared and instead a close-eyed smile appeared on his face. "I'm just that happy to see you."

He took his leg back before his father could think of grabbing it and went a safe distance away.

Toake took up a fighting stance and asked. "You sure you're up to it right now?"

Meguro took up a fighting stance too and replied. "You should ask yourself that."

Meguro was the first one to take initiative.

*SWOOSH*

He stepped forward and threw a very fast punch towards his father's face.

*BAM*

The punch landed cleanly but Meguro could feel a sharp pain somewhere around his abdomen.

His hand was held by his father who predicted the punch and kicked Meguro in the liver at the same time.

*BAM*

Meguro gritted his teeth and grabbed his father's foot with his free hand and pulled Toake towards him while putting his knee forward, kneeing Toake in the chest.

After he did that, Meguro could feel his hand be freed lightly from his father's grip and he pulled it back.

*BAM*

While pulling it back he could see his father's body rotate at an insane speed so he smashed him into the ground using the grip he had on his leg.

*BAM*

Even though Toake was smashed to the ground face first, his foot was angled weirdly, going directly around Meguro's arm and hitting him in the face.

Meguro was sent flying in the air but he managed to land on his feet.

Toake got out of the ground and looked at his son whose side of the face was bruised up and blood coming out of his mouth.

Toake too was bleeding from the mouth and his mouth and nose were roughed up.

Meguro wiped the blood that was coming out of his mouth with his thumb and put it in his mouth while saying. "You're still very strong despite your age."

His father had the same smile on his face and he said. "Don't go underestimating me brat.

Did you forget who made you into what you are today?"

Meguro's been personally trained by his father from a young age and then left alone to develop his own fighting style.

Meguro smiled and said. "What's that got to do with anything?"

Toake put his hands down and said. "This should be enough for today, I don't want either of us to go to the hospital."

Meguro did the same and said. "Alright.

We'll spar some other time."

This was kind of a tradition, testing each other.

Meguro's father liked to make sure that his son was always ready for a fight breaking out of nowhere so fighting as soon as they see each other is the usual.

Toake went back to his chair and Meguro sat on the floor while looking at his shirt that was a little messed up from the fight.
