Chapter 150 Oyabun

" Young miss was going to run away on her own. What was I supposed to do? So, I followed her on this trip."

" That's the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Without your help, how could she make it all the way here." someone said from behind.

Samuel failed to notice, but Arthur, the head butler, stood behind them without him noticing.

" Arthur, when did you get here?"

" Since the beginning. You have much to learn, young master." Arthur brushed him off. Joyah was staring at the old man.

Her being here, many suspected that reason, but no one knew about it.

" Don't stare at me. We must resolve the situation, or else others will accuse us of kidnapping this little girl."

" Right, Benjiro, you better have some good excuse; otherwise, we can't help you."

Aika, the culprit was oblivious to everything; her only translator was busy mumbling to himself. How scary was the Yakuza?

" Sir, Please, I know it sounds stupid, but you don't know what young miss is capable of. She can threaten someone to take her here. At least with me, we avoided unnecessary conflict."

Samuel looked toward Aika, wondering whether it was true. He doubted but seeing the serious expression on Benjiro's face, he became inclined to believe him.

" Young master, we don't have much time. They must have sent several convoys upon her disappearance. We must head toward the embassy." Arthur said.

" Embassy? Can't we just call them?"

" That will be foolish. I believe you are aware of our standing with their family. They will definitely see it as a threat."

" Aren't you being too dramatic about it? If you were so worried about it, how come she is let inside the estate?"

" I don't know."

" I am sorry, but we just mentioned master Samuel at the gates. Then they confirmed with someone named David, and he cleared us for entry." Benjiro explained.

" That brat! What was he thinking?" Arthur exclaimed. He was not happy about David's decision.

" He didn't know about her running away. So, it's understandable that he let her in."

" Hey! enough talking. I didn't come here to talk; fight me again." Aika to as getting impatient.

" The fight is over. Why didn't you tell me that you fled your home?" Samuel asked her directly.

" Fled? I am on vacation. It just happens to be in your country." She avoided his gaze.

" Seriously, what about your parents? Did you even ask for permission?"

She didn't say anything, but Samuel got the answer.

He sighed, but they had to go to the Japanese embassy.

-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, inside an undisclosed location in the United Kingdom.

An operator was watching his computer screen with half-closed eyes. The shift had been crazy these couple of weeks which caused him to cut back on his sleep.

Suddenly the screen starts blaring with a red sign showing all over it.

" It can't be. What are they doing here?" He double-checked the content before rushing to find his superior.

He was responsible for monitoring the critical target visiting in and out of the country. But a few terrible people had recently landed at the London International Airport.

" Sir, I got several hits for high-level targets. It's code red!" He barged into his superior's office.

" Code red? Are you sure? Who are they?"

" The infamous Yakuza family. It's the patriarch himself, along with his son. Sir, What should I do?"

" Patch it through the Agency. It's beyond our pay grade." The superior gave his orders.

The operator hurried and sent several urgent messages to SIS and DI. He knew these people were not prone to travel 'light', but as foreign nationals, they tend to keep to themselves.

It was not his job; he left it to the national intelligence service.

Soon, SIS received the news. They mobilise several teams to monitor them. Kiyama family, the third largest Yakuza family, was not known for violence, but it didn't mean they were clean.

" Alright, I have some intel. A total of a dozen entities comprised two high-level personnel. Our order is to monitor them from a distance. Do not engage before the order." The team leader said.

" Kate, you are responsible for recon. Make sure they don't notice." He assigned her for close monitoring.

" Their last location indicates that they are heading toward the embassy. We will surround the embassy and wait for their move." They rushed toward the embassy in plain cars to avoid detection.

" Trent, I could make up some excuse to head inside; what do you think?" Kate asked him. There were two teams assigned the same mission. It would stand out if they were able to sneak in valuable information.

" I know that you are excited, but can we manage that. It would become diplomatic trouble if they found us snooping inside the embassy." Trent was not entirely convinced by her plan.

They had the latest hardware, which was almost undetectable, but if anything went wrong, they had to abandon the whole mission.

" Trust me. Have I ever failed?" Kate was adamant about it. Trent hesitated for a few seconds before giving the permission.

" But remember the protocol, you will be disavowed, and the agency will deny any link to the incident."

" I know the routine. See you on the other side." She grabbed a few things before heading inside the embassy. It was not hard for them to get a spare passport as their ticket.

----------------------------------

" Master, Are you sure about this?" Samuel asked.

Currently, Samuel, Arthur, Aika, Benjiro and Joyah are travelling toward the embassy, but Samuel is confused about why Joyah is coming with them.

" We already left the compound. Why are you asking me now?" She took a quick glance toward the front seat.

" But, we have a whole convoy here. It seems unnecessary for you to come too."

" Don't worry about it." She did it again.

Samuel noticed her strange behaviour. Why is she keep doing that?

" Master, It might be nothing but do you want something from Grandpa Arthur? You keep looking in his direction." Samuel asked politely.

" N-no, you must be mistaken. I am looking at the road. This thing is too slow. Hey, drive a little faster." She jerked the driver's seat.

" Miss, It is not good to disturb the driver." Arthur turned to remind her.

" Yes." She said timidly.

Samuel had question marks in his mind. Joyah, fierce as a tigress, acted like a domesticated cat in front of grandpa Arthur.

"Do they know each other? Or- No, no, that would be too strange." Samuel's thoughts were running wild, but someone interrupted him.
