Chapter 528 - Assistance

"I suppose I shall not tease you on this." Raizo trailed off. "Asuka-kun, if you may."
The silent Asuka nodded and pressed a button on the wall, causing all the blinds to shut. A large transparent screen appeared between him and Raizo. All sorts of information regarding the case. Yuhi's eyes widened when he saw the data and frowned.
"The powers merged?"
"I only intended to lend her some of my power so she could get back up. However, when I took her hand, there was a huge light, I got knocked away. But Sumire-kun remained unscratched, her outfit had changed, and there was a purple not red glow around her."
Red and blue make purple; if the two abilities merged, it only makes sense for the color to change to purple. But if the two powers merged like that, why was it only Sumire and not Raizo?
"I did a bit of research on this and discovered I am only a proxy host for these powers. Sumire is the real owner."
Yuhi's gaze dimmed more. "You're not holding a grudge, are you?"
"Not at all; it is not like my powers are gone. I can still hold onto them. Moreover, it seems humans like us with evolved genetics evolve in other areas other than obtaining supernatural abilities. I have already benefited enough and can survive."
He is one of the leading members of a government organization. He has all the power and money in the world to live a luxurious lifestyle for the rest of his life.
Yuhi's gaze fell on the information on the screen. "Is it harmful on her body? Her health is already bad."
"It would be more harmful if she continues not to activate it. The fact that she lost her memories and only just learned of it again a year later is already bad. But now she is suppressing her true ability."
That is right ability users have no choice but to use their ability one way or another. If they do not and suppress the power for so long, it will be harmful to their health. Yuhi recalled Sumire's condition. Could it be the reason why she is so unhealthy all the time?
Raizo suddenly nodded. "It is like what you are thinking. The suppression of her powers is the main cause for her falling ill. I have received her medical reports from Nagawa general hospital, and the scans show what I needed to know."
The screen changed, and several medical reports flashed in front of him. "How did you get these?" Yuhi questioned.
Even though Atushi was Sumire's direct guardian, Nagawa has kept all of Sumire's medical reports a secret. Nagawa said that there was no need to tell them since he would resolve everything. Yuhi knew how much the other guy cared for Sumire, so he did not think much of it at the time.
"Hmm? I just marched into Nagawa general hospital and obtained them. It was not a big deal."
His sweat fell when he heard those words. 'Just marched in? He didn't bring his troops with him, did he? Still to think Raizo managed to persuade Nagawa. I shouldn't underestimate him.'
"What are your plans?" Raizo suddenly asked.
"I will support her no matter what; my resolve has not changed there. However, I am a bit concerned regarding Nagawa Sano's intentions. It seems Sumire has a certain degree of control over him. But I fear when it comes to a crucial situation, he may double-cross us. I think Sumire has also considered that possibility, but I cannot be too sure."
"I see; you wish for us to keep an eye out on him?"
"Akagumi's surveillance network is good for the underworld only. It is hard for us to get other types of information. Hyou4, on the other hand, can make up for that gap. You would be able to watch over Nagawa without drawing any attention."
Yuhi hated to admit it, but his guys are no good at being discreet. He once gave them a spying job, and it ended up as a disaster. Atushi had to bail them.
"Very well."
Yuhi blinked, startled at Raizo's sudden words. "Huh?"
"I believe I just agreed."
Yeah, he got that much, but he agreed that quickly?
"If I am a proxy for her to obtain her full powers, then it is only natural that Hyou4 helps her out." Raizo stands up, and Asuka deactivates all the screens. "Asuka-kun has printed off the information so that you can go through it at your leisure later on."
"Raizo-"
"If you are going so far to protect her, then we shall do the same." Those were the last words Raizo said before exiting the room.
Yuhi felt slightly overwhelmed. To think the talk went that smoothly. He figured that Raizo would take advantage of this to think of other unreasonable demands. After all, his group akagumi has caused so much trouble for his Hyou4. But Yuhi recalled his expression just now. It seems he has a soft spot for Sumire.
Asuka tapped his shoulder. "I will walk you out."
"Right." Yuhi stood up, and they left the lounge area. On the way out, people were still staring, but unlike earlier, they could not say anything hostile.
It seems Asuka has quite the reputation here.
"The other day, I received a message from Futaba. She told me she wants to come here."
Momoi Futaba was Sumire's best friend. With all the dangers surrounding Sumire recently, it is a wonder why she is only just coming.
"Delay it." Yuhi's request was a fairly simple one.
'It will be troublesome for Momoi to come here now. I have only conversed with her a few times in the past, but I can tell she is hard to deal with.'
Asuka nodded. "I also think it will be hard for Sumire to investigate with you with Futaba around."
"I get that she is overprotective, but Sumire wants to resolve this case with her own ability."
"You're against her making direct contact with the enemy organization, though? Sumire mentioned to me that it may be faster if we use her as bait, but you disagreed, right?"
Yuhi sighed deeply at the memory of Sumire's so-called suggestion.
"I understand what she is trying to do and why she can be so brave."ReadNovelFull.com
Sumire only suggested something that careless because Nagawa is there. Does Sumire truly think Nagwa will help her out if things turn bad? The level of faith she has on that person surprises him. Why does she trust him so much? It does not make sense to him.
"I dislike that man too." Asuka suddenly said. "But he does seem different recently, so I believe we should wait and see."
"I am just worried that Sumire will get hurt because of him again. I know she is only acting, but she already admitted to me that a part of her still has hope that Nagawa will return to how he was before."
"That is like her." Asuka nodded. "She is not the type of person to give up on someone, even if they turn completely evil."
"He hurt her." Yuhi still couldn't get over it. "When she first told me about him, I was horrified. I didn't think she would end up in such a terrifying relationship."
