~Chapter Twenty-Nine
1750 Words
Having managed to escape as far as possible from Kaika, Helen hid in the alleyway. She really was still embarrassed about the incident.
(Damn! That's so embarrassing! How could I hit a pole!)
She then jumped up and down so much that she banged her head 3x times against the wall.
"Auch! Why is this so embarrassing!" She shouted as she kept pacing.
Helen could not shake the embarrassment she felt. For some reason if she was in front of Kaika, she felt like she could not keep her cool and elegant image! Her silly nature would appear unannounced. One of them was to hit a power pole!
How embarrassing!
She felt helpless, embarrassed and upset. She just kept on muttering and acting strangely nonstop on the alleyway because she thought no one would saw her crazy behavior.
As her mad act by imitating some of Kaika's and his speech styles continues, the sudden sound of a ball heading near startled her.
Helen looked at the source of the sound in reflex. She found a boy was going to pick his wayward ball. When the boy saw Helen, he looked back at her as he slowly tried to take the ball.
When the boy almost touched his ball, he picked it up quickly before turning and running around screaming.
"Mama !!! There's a weird auntie!!!"
Helen's eyes widened at the boy's reaction. "Hey, I'm not a weird auntie. I'm still young!
She was not happy that the child called her auntie. She was only in her 20s! It does not matter if she was called weird. Well, because it's a fact! But she will not accept being called as old woman or aunt! Will not!
(But what's that kid doing out here at this hour? Don't tell me he was a ghost?)
...
Meanwhile
Kaika, who was unhappy at Kaoru's presence, now a little calmer as he recalled Helen's silly behavior.
"It seems that her life is happier now." He told himself.
(Happy my ȧss!) He felt a bit depressed when he remembered the report about Helen. It's not like her life was completely happy. Although Helen's life appeared to consideredly be better than her past as Yuuki, he knows that Helen was also suffering, especially her childhood. And that annoyed him.
(Should I get rid of her relatives?) He thought. (No.) He can not do it. He knows that Helen will not be happy with that. Even though she hates her relatives, as long as they do not look for trouble with her, she will not make trouble either.
(As long as they do not made anything difficult for Helen, he will not act. But if they still dare to commit their rotten plan on her, don't blame me for being ruthless!)
When Kaika was still focused on developing his plan, Kyoshi can not stop the creeps. He could sense that his master was cooking up an evil plan!
(Looks like someone would die.) He thought in his heart.

"Hi, Saki! You still look beautiful as ever!" Praised Zen to a woman who wore a white lab coat.
"Stop your flirtatious mouth or I won't give you the result you asked for." Threatened the woman named Saki.
"Ah! You're really similar to Mr. Harada." He complained.
Saki glared at Zen and said, "Well it seems that you don't need my results."

"Ah! Hey, hey! I'm just kidding! Ah!" Persuaded him while holding Saki back.
"Okay, this time I'll forgive you. But next time you do it again, I'll put you in the fridge where I preserve the corpses if you still behave like that."
Zen was speechless, (why are everyone in this place want to kill me so much?) Asked his heart.
(Is it because I'm so handsome that they're all jealous, including Saki?)
If Saki heard what was in Zen's mind, she would have him completely tied up and thrown to the cooler!
"As to your estimation, it's all proven to be true Zen. We found a bullet embedded in Kirishima's foot. That the bullet didn't have a license number that we could track down. The shape was almost destroyed making it difficult for us to recognize this type of bullet. But how could you know that there was another bullet? "
He wanted to joke but Saki's gaze made Zen's hair stand up. "I felt something was wrong when the shooter team shoots Kirishima, the number of shooters and the sound produced does not match with what me see and hear."
Upon hearing his explanation, Saki could not contain her shock. "You can tell because it looked like the number of bullets and the firing sounds does not match the number of our members ?! Don't joke!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Saki dear, why do you think they bestowed me the 3 eyed nickname?" It's because of my sharp eyesight and hearing! " He said in his trademarked narcissistic and arrogant style.
"So, the question is, is it friend or foe?"
They were both startled when they suddenly heard the questioning voice coming from behind them.
"Mr. Harada!" Saki yelled, annoyed because of the shock.
"Sorry, Saki." He said with a smile. "So what's a mystery now is who's the shooter? Friend or foe?" Then he looked back at Zen waiting for an answer.
But Zen just blinked his eyes with his innocent expression put on neatly.
(Cih, this kid! I'm asking you!! If I did not know him I would also think he's a crazy kid without talent.)

"Dammit! Look!" Megu came and flung the paper over to the long table in their team room.
One of the team members asked, "What is it, Megumi?"
"Look at that Miura, the sucker rat! How could he shamelessly claimed that this case was successfully solved by his instructions! He even claimed all of our hard work and Mr. Harada! He never even cared about this case, he only came once and even then to punish Mr. Harada! And now he claimed that he also went to the field and could not sleep soundly to solve Kirishima's case ??? !!! Why is there such a shameless person like him?! "
Megu went on a rampage not accepting that Miura claimed all their efforts and work, especially Mr. Harada's hard work and role! Megu can only calm down when Mr. Harada came and persuaded her. This is not the first time the results of their efforts were taken by Miura.

In one of the classy cafes in the mall.
"Hi, Kaoru. You look even more beautiful today." Said a petite woman who was in a gathering with some young Misses from wealthy families when she saw Kaoru arrived.
"You too." The answer is brief. There was a bit of a smug in her words.
Kaoru still felt angry about the incident last night. She was still thinking of ways to approach Kaika.
One of the women tried to invite Kaoru to talk but she just looked down on her.
All who gathered here know that Kaoru is a pompous and haughty woman. But she's always good at pretending in front of men. As a result many men were enamored to the point of blindly trusting her. And that makes them all unhappy.

Just look at the blue-clad girl over there, who sat alone gloomily. The girl accidentally liked the same bag as the one Kaori wanted. And the girl insist on buying the bag even though Kaoru has told her to give up.
Then what happened? Kaoru played a drama. She pretended to cry and splashed herself with a drink when the girl's boyfriend came. In front of him she cried and played victim. She told the man that the young girl who became his girlfriend has splashed, cursed and threatened her just because she liked the same bag.
Everyone know what happened was the opposite, but no one dared to defend the girl. Well, there was one person who dared to tell what happened but what? The girl's boyfriend just believed Kaoru's words and acting rather than the girl herself.
The incident was just one of Kaoru's cunning plays. They did not want to end up like the girl. Isolated among them. Plus, Kaoru's family was quite rich and had many connections, so she wanted to always be the center of attention and control everything. She wanted people to obey her and always get what she wants.
Her word is law!
Kaoru still felt bored and fed up with the gang of socialite women who had gathered with her. She felt they are not at the same level with her.
(Why do I have to hang out with them?) She thought, upset. She became happy when thinking about Kaika. But when considering the figure of a woman who came out of Kaika's car, she was annoyed again.
She felt that woman had stolen what should belong to her.
Just as she thought about it, she saw someone walking not too far from her place.
(That's her! Yes, that woman! ) Kaoru jumped to her feet when she saw the woman who was none other than Helen.
Kaoru's sudden standing action stunned everyone. They did not understand why Kaoru was suddenly like that. Apparently ignoring the puzzled confusion of people, Kaoru rushed to Helen's place.
(That sŀut! I won't let her touch and approach Kaika! I'll tell her who exactly was worthy to be with Mr. Kaika!)
She briskly walked over to Helen's direction as she intended to teach Helen a lesson, a woman whom she herself did not know. But she was convinced that Helen was just a cheap woman who approached Kaika to raised her status.
Only a small ant that trying to get into their circle of society!
(Humph! I will expose you in front of Mr. Kaika! I won't let you trick him! In addition, I'm the first person that met Kaika! He is mine!)
Kaoru still behaved like a righteous person and Helen is a villain.
Some curious people followed Kaoru. They wondered what Kaoru wanted to do this time.
When she arrived, she called Helen.
"Hey, you!"
