"No, I didn't think of it that way."
Takahara Kei shook his head. "I can go to hell for the sins I committed. I'm just expressing my true feelings. That's all."
Even though he was facing someone who wanted to kill him, he still had the temperament of a superior.
"Is that so?" Xiao Luo smiled.
He didn't kill Takahara Kei right away because he had read the article "On the Crimes of Nippon Province" that Takahara Kei had published a few days ago. He was touched by the sincerity in his words. Takahara Kei was the only one who had confessed his involvement in the construction of the biochemical research base. If Xie Wenchang and his family hadn't died, he might have let Takahara Kei go. But that was impossible.
Everyone who had anything to do with the biochemical research base must die!
He got up and strolled over to Takahara Kei. He deliberately suppressed his murderous aura, but he couldn't stop it from leaking out of his eyes. He slowly raised his hand. "Takahara Kei, it's time for you to die!"
"Wait," Takahara Kei shouted.
Xiao Luo frowned and looked at him questioningly. "What's wrong?"
"Can … Can you give me a few more days?" Takahara Kei lowered his stance and spoke in a pleading tone.
"A few more days?"
Xiao Luo smiled playfully and shook his head. "Your villa is great, but I don't want to come here a second time."
"You don't have to come here a second time. Once I've made up for the regrets of the past few years, I'll end my own life," Takahara Kei said.
Xiao Luo said coldly, "I'm sorry, but you have no right to bargain with me."
"Dad, are you ready? You said you'd take me to the beach. If you go back on your word, I'll ignore you for the rest of my life! "
At this moment, Takahara Keika's angry voice came from downstairs.
Xiao Luo was stunned.
"Don't worry, Dad won't go back on his word. Wait for me downstairs. I have something to do here."
Takahara Kei rushed downstairs and responded. Then he turned around and said to Xiao Luo with utmost sincerity, "I haven't been able to accompany her properly all these years. I just promised her last night that I would take her to the beach and do ten things with her."
Xiao Luo did not say a word and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Plop!"
Takahara Kei suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Luo. His face was ashen as he said, "I, Takahara Kei, have rarely begged anyone in my life. Mr. Xiao Han, please show me some mercy for the sake of the Sun God!"
The richest man of his generation, the most ambitious and ruthless person of his generation, had put down all of his dignity just for a chance to make it up to his daughter.
Xiao Luo was very irritated. He did not want to go through this a second time. He wanted to kill Takahara Kei right now, but he also wanted to help a father redeem his daughter. These two emotions were fighting, and his expression was exceptionally gloomy.
"Thump, thump, thump ~"
The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs approached. There was no doubt that it was Takahara Keika climbing up the stairs.
Takahara Kei was extremely nervous. He was afraid that the killer in front of him would kill him in front of his daughter. If that happened, his daughter would definitely suffer a terrible blow. He was already indifferent to his own life, but he did not want his daughter to suffer even the slightest bit of harm. At this moment, he was so nervous that his whole body was trembling.
He kept kowtowing to Xiao Luo, and his voice was filled with fear. "Mr. Xiao Han, I beg you, I beg you. Please have mercy, have mercy …"
He begged like a beggar, and tears streamed down his face.
"Dad, what's wrong? Why are you kneeling on the ground? "Takahara Keika's voice came from behind him.
Takahara Kei turned his head and saw that Takahara Keika was already standing at the door, looking at him with wide eyes. When he turned his head again, the Thousand-faced Killer, Xiao Han, seemed to have disappeared into thin air. After a moment of shock, he quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and quickly squeezed out a smile as he stood up.
He walked toward Takahara Keika and said, "Silly child, what are you talking about? What do you mean by kneeling? A button fell on the ground, and dad was picking it up."
"Picking up a button?"
Takahara Keika was still doubtful. "Then I think I heard you talking to someone else just now."
"Nonsense, there's no one here. You must have been hallucinating." Takahara Kei deliberately put on a stern face, but he was actually very nervous.
"Really?" Takahara Keika looked into the study, still a little doubtful.
"Of course it's true. There's only you and me here. There's no one else."
Takahara Kei coughed dryly and immediately changed the topic. "By the way, Keika, have you packed your luggage?"
"Yes, yes, I've been waiting for you." Takahara Keika nodded.
"Okay, go to the garage and wait for me. I'll come down after I find a book," Takahara Kei said.
"Then hurry up. Don't dilly-dally like an old man in his seventies or eighties," Takahara Keika said unhappily.
"Okay," Takahara Kei said with a smile.
"Then hurry up."
Takahara Keika pouted, turned around, and walked out.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
When he heard Takahara Kei coming down the stairs, Takahara Kei turned around and bowed to the empty study. "Thank you," he said.
"You only have three days."
A cold voice came from behind the bookshelf. Then, Xiao Luo walked out from behind the bookshelf. "After three days, I'll come again."
"Three days is enough." Takahara Kei nodded gratefully.
…
…
"Finish a big bottle of coke in one gulp, go to the men's room, eat a free meal …"
Takahara Kei didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the list of ten things his daughter wanted him to do. However, he still did it after accompanying her to the beach. It was as if he had returned to his youth. Takahara Kei had obtained the most sincere happiness.
"Dad, don't you have anything to do for the next few days?"
Takahara Keika couldn't help but ask as she sat in the passenger seat. Normally, her father would be extremely busy. But now, his phone didn't even ring. He had accompanied her for an entire day. It was unbelievable.
"I'm busy, but my baby girl is the most important. Keika, where else do you want to go? Dad will accompany you," Takahara Kei said.
"Dad, you're the best."
Takahara Keika nodded and said, "I want to go to the Sacred Mountain to see the snow."
The Sacred Mountain?!
Takahara Kei's expression changed slightly. It was a place that made him feel remorse and fear. It was like a person who had just been released from prison. He had an inexplicable fear of the place where he had killed someone. But he quickly calmed himself down and said, "Okay, let's go see the snow."
With that, he drove the car toward Mount Fuji.
On the third day, news of the death of Ichiro Oi, the Cabinet Minister of Land and Transportation, came out. Another person related to the biochemical research base had died.
At night, Takahara Kei sat in his study and watched a video of Takahara Keika learning how to walk when she was a child. With a blissful smile on his face, he slowly closed his eyes. Next to his desk was an empty bottle of sleeping pills.
