Hitman x Wives

Chapter 144 Chapter 144- Freedom?

The man who was boiling with anger at the moment as he sat in his car was named Stephen Layl. A tycoon in the entertainment industry and has a hobby of collecting relics and pieces of old history artifacts in his little museum.

When he saw that map, he instantly knew that he had to get it no matter what. He couldn’t simply let it go at all. Even if that meant killing someone for it. Sari wasn’t just a mere historical character, his achievements could singlehandedly make him the most important man to ever walk the earth.

“There he is, boss.” One of Stephen’s men said as he pointed at a handsome young man walking across the street before taking a turn into an alley.

“Close the other end. Don’t let him escape.”

Immediately, the black cars moved and quickly surrounded the area. Onlookers could see clearly that something odd was happening but they didn’t dare to say anything.

Kai, on the other hand, continued walking through the alley until he was right in the middle. Then, he looked up. A car was closing the way.

*RING* *RING*

His phone rang out of nowhere so he sighed and picked it up. “Should I come down to help you?” Kaya’s voice asked coldly. She wasn’t worried that Kai would be defeated but she thought that the two of them could end the problem quicker.

“No, go back to the hotel. I will follow you after.” Kai said before he hung up.

“So you’re the little bastard that stole it from me?! Who are you?” Stephen got out of the car accompanied by his men.

“…”

“You’re in good luck kid. I’m in a good mood now. So, hand it over and I will consider this mat-”

*BANG*

Before Stephen could even finish his sentence, a bullet had already burst through his skull and destroyed his brain. Blood splurted out from the other side.

Not even the guards could react in time to this sudden occurrence. Only when the dead corpse fell on the ground and blood seeped into the concrete beneath them did they realize… Their boss died, just like that.

Kai looked at the dead man with deathly cold eyes. He was in no mood to hear a retarded idiot talk for long. His eyes then moved to the guards around him before he pulled the trigger again.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Bullets flew from the gun successively, hitting every man right in the forehead with monstrous accuracy. In a matter of seconds, they all died before they could even try to make a fight.

Blood covered the whole alley as Kai stood in the middle of his massacre, silent. It seems he just relapsed from his ‘No Kill’ rule, again. It’s not even a rule anymore as he simply has submerged back into the world of death, swords, and the smell of gunpowder.

Luckily, nobody saw what happened and nobody heard the sound of guns either as Kai had made sure to surround the area with a sound barrier that stopped anything from reaching the outside. It was a simple trick but very useful in such cases.

“Sigh…” Exhaling a long breath, Kai walked past the dead corpses and then left the area, his destination wasn’t the hotel but to the other side of the auction house’s perimeter.

There, Rosa was walking back to her car to leave the place. However, as she was about to take a turn, she stumbled into someone.

“Ouch!”

Looking up, her eyes contracted a little at the sight of a familiar face.

“Oh, it’s you.” She murmured. “Ehemn, My apologies. I wasn’t looking at my path properly.” She said when she noticed that she was the one to stumble into him.

Kai looked at her for a moment before he walked away.

“Tsk, as cold as ever. Who does he think he is? Geez.” She murmured with an annoyed look before she continued walking to her car, wondering how a man so beautiful could be that cold.

Meanwhile, Kai left the place as if nothing happened. When he was far enough, he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a phone that wasn’t his.

His eyes squinted slightly as he looked at it. When he tried to open it, he was met with a lock screen and a thumb recognition lock.

Then, he put it back in his pocket before heading back to the hotel.

“Ugh, my back. That dress sure puts a toll on my shoulders.” Kaya moaned slightly as she massaged her shoulder.

Kai, who was in the other room changing, walked out. Then, he approached Kaya who eyed him confusedly before he touched her shoulder. Immediately, all the pain in her shoulders vanished as if it was never there. Her body also felt refreshed.

“Thank you, my love~. This talent of yours is something else. It could even heal the sole problem women with big breasts have. Fufufufu~” She chuckled idly. Eventually, her chuckles died down and were replaced with a serious expression as she closed the distance between her and Kai.

“Is everything OK? You’ve been acting weird this whole afternoon.”

“Nothing,” Kai replied plainly.

“You underestimate how much I know you, Kai. But, if you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine. Just know that no matter what’s on your head, I will always be there for you. You are never alone.” Then, Kaya smiled softly at him before her hands moved to his head and pulled him in.

Kai found himself resting on Kaya’s plump, soft thighs with her face gazing down at him. “As a thank you, I will give you a lap pillow! I heard guys like it.”

Kai looked at her silently, not moving. Kaya’s face looked mesmerizing under the faint light of the room. Her beautiful green eyes shone like stars, everlasting and far yet warm to those who seek solace.

“You know, Kai. Sometimes I wonder. Is this life truly worth all the hassle? I mean, ehem, look at us. We have the most outrageous lives and yet all we want is simplicity.”

“I want to be free,” Kai replied as he closed his eyes. “Simplicity doesn’t matter. I just want to wake up one day, go about my day as usual, and then realize that I’m completely detached from anything that might pull me down again. That I finally have nothing to do with whatever I was born into. When that day comes, I will truly know that I finally reached my goal.”

Kaya looked at Kai’s hypnotizing eyes silently, her hands were gently massaging his hair lovingly.

“So it’s that deep, huh?”

“…”

“How would you go about doing that, exactly?” She asked after a while.

Kai didn’t reply at all and Kaya quickly took the hint. Her head nodded slowly before she looked away from Kai and into the outside world.

Neither of them needed to exchange words to understand what was going through their heads.

A while later, Kai finally lifted his head from Kaya’s thighs when he noticed that she was getting sleepy.

“Go sleep.”

“But, it’s still too early~ I want us to stay like this a little more~” She murmured as she hugged Kai’s back and buried her face into his neck. 𝒩𝓞𝑣𝒍xt.𝗇𝓔t

“Didn’t you say that you will show me around tomorrow?” Kai asked.

“Hm? Oh, right! I forgot! Shit, I need to make some plans!”

Immediately, Kaya separated from him and ran to her room. Kai watched her frantically pull her laptop and start typing on it quickly. Then, he sighed and stood up before he walked to his room. He had one thing to do that night.

At the same time, the city was in complete pandemonium.
