"I am not sure about this, Axy, if your mother got overly suspicious, things may get complicated, especially with this overprotection we had set up," Alfie spoke.

"Nothing will happen if you just say that we are having trouble with some competition in china and never mention anything about father or Koujiro," Alexander spoke.

"I won't say a thing, you know that. But..."

"No buts, stay calm, we will go to China with a good excuse, meet up with our men there and then search for the people behind this." Alexander ran his hand on his hair and sighed "perhaps retreating from the underworld wasn't such a good idea."

Alfie looked at his nephew with a surprised expression, never in his life has he seen Alexander say his ideas were bad.

"Now everyone and their dog thinks they can get a piece of us!!" Alexander slammed his arms on the car window, with it being bulletproof, it did no damage at all.

Alfie shook his head, Alexander was doing his best to make them live in peace, away from the fighting that may take one of their lives in the future. The fact that someone made him think his actions were wrong made Alfie so angry 'I will punch a hole through whoever behind this' face ...' Alfie made a vow to himself as he looked at the road in front of them.

No sooner, Alexander reached Totsuki and made his way to the head office. There he met with Erina doing some paperwork alone.

Alfie stood outside, smoking a cigarette and waiting for Alexander to come out.

"What?" Erina asked in confusion.

"You heard me. I wanna go to China." Alexander spoke as he sat down.

"Well, you can just go, I am not stopping you, thought your work as the 1st seat will be overloaded." Erina shrugged her shoulders.

"What I want is a reason to go to China." Alexander frowned.

"Why?" Erina asked. Alexander didn't answer and just looked at her, for a moment, Erina wanted to challenge Alexander and make him speak, but when her eyes locked with Alexander's, she shivered from fear at how his eyes burned with anger.

Alexander wanted a reason to go to China so he can avoid his family's suspicion, his mother would follow to China quickly as she will realize that something is going on in that land, and if she asked around the servants involved, she would find out. His grandparents can be kept in the dark, but not for long. His grandfather's intuition would soon warn him about something going.

And the last thing Alexander wants is the whole family getting involved.

Erina sighed and shook her head "W-well... I have this proposal from the other major schools for exchange students from the elite 10, I was about to reject it..."

Alexander smiled "one of them is in China. Great, send me there." Perfect, is what Alexander thought, this way, no one will have the slightest idea why he is in China. All he has to do is pretend to do his job as an exchange student while at the same time look for his father and Koujiro.

Or, even better, the kidnappers contact him themselves, ever since the picture that was sent to them, no further contact was made and Alexander was wracking his brain for solutions and ideas.

Erina didn't know what to say, ever since the last day at the camp, Alexander hasn't been acting kind, his actions have become more harsh and merciless. If she rejected him now, she doesn't know what will he do, so, she decided to play it safe and give him what he wants.

"Alright, I will accept this proposal, just this one time, you will be sent to China in 2 days," Erina spoke.

Alexander nodded slowly with a smile "That will do." He then stood up to leave.

Erina watched his retreating back with worry, but then he stopped and looked back at her "We never spoke about this, right?" He said.

Erina closed her eyes "...Fine. keep your secrets to yourself then." She said.

"Good girl." Alexander laughed before closing the door behind him.

Outside, Alfie was leaning on the wall with his back, he felt a tap on his shoulder and saw Alexander "It is done." Alexander said, "We leave to China in 2 days."

"Sweet!"

The next two days, Alexander was on his nerves, anything could have happened.

While at another location, Tai Lung looked at the woman in front of him and clicked his tongue "For how long are we gonna stay like this?" He spoke, "The longer we wait, the more opportunities we give the boy a chance of victory, we should contact him now and get him to come to us."

The girl in front of him looked at her nails and smiled "Let him stay like this for few more days, I want him to be on his nerves, so the moment we contact him, he does what ask him, by that time, he would be very concerned about our little friends over here." She said.

The days are numbered, but for whom?
