Chapter 40 The Disdained Old Father
Chapter 40
"Mr. Ba...Mr. Bajir?"
Recognizing the other person's identity almost immediately, Kurokawa Kaoru's eyes widened and he looked at the other person in disbelief.
Wasn't it Sawada Iemitsu who brought the ring to Japan? How did it become Bajir?
Because of the glass, Bajir couldn't hear Kurokawa Kaoru's voice. Of course, even if he heard it, he didn't have time to care at this time.
Most importantly—
"Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
Not far from Bajir, Sawada Tsunayoshi was sitting with Gokudera Hayato and the others, along with an unfamiliar girl. Looking at Reborn at the back of the group, it was clear from his expression that he was aware of everything that was happening.
Why is Reborn here? Kurokawa Kaoru frowned. Could it be... that he knew something like this would happen, so he brought Sawada Tsunayoshi with him to help him grow faster?
However, Kurokawa Kaoru felt that he had uncovered the truth.
"Hey! Are you planning to kill all these outsiders?"
Kurokawa Kaoru's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, his body tensed and his breathing became rapid.
"Sperbi Squalo..."
The commander of Varian, the assassination unit directly under the Vongola, and also the recognized second-generation Sword Emperor.
You have to know that without their leader's orders, Varian's men would never leave Italy. Since Sperbi Squalo was here, it meant that the other party in the Ring War was related to Varian. And there was only one person in the world who could make Sperbi Squalo so concerned.
Varian's leader, XANXUS, there is no one else besides him.
"This is a big trouble."
Seeing that Bagir and Sberbi Squalo started fighting without saying a few words, Kurokawa Kaoru lowered his eyes, with emotions surging in his eyes.
He is just an ordinary person. No matter how strong his own conditions are, he will be helpless when he meets these super-powered players from Vongola.
Then again, is the Vongola ring really in Basil's hands? Kurokawa Kaoru wondered in his heart.
Knowing that with Bagir's strength, it would be difficult for him to fight against Varian's men, he still handed such an important thing to the other party. No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong with someone who would do such a thing.
Moreover, the off-site consultant department only needs one person to represent the whole. Through Nana Sawada's condition, they have guessed that Iemitsu Sawada will come back from Italy. According to normal people's logic, it would be more appropriate to give the ring to Iemitsu Sawada instead of to Bagir.
Could it be that—
Kurokawa Kaoru lowered her eyes and spoke in a girlish voice, "It's our turn, Kuroba."
"Do you really want me to come? Mr. Sawada Iemitsu."
"That's right, Bajir."
At the Italian international airport, Sawada Iemitsu pulled out an exquisite box from his arms, patted Bajir on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "Although this is only half of the ring, without this half, you cannot participate in the ring competition, so you must keep it safe."
Bajir took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Mr. Sawada Iemitsu."
At that time, Sawada Iemitsu handed the box containing the ring to Bajir and asked him to hand the box to Sawada Tsunayoshi personally.
Having said that, Sawada Iemitsu actually knew in his heart that even though he knew the ring was in the box, given Varian's usual style, he would not allow them to hand the ring over to Sawada Tsunayoshi. Not to mention that Bagel's strength would make it difficult for him to match Varian's, it was obvious that the other party would take the ring away from him.
Iemitsu Sawada gave the box to Bajir at the airport so that others, especially Varian, would think that the ring had been handed over to Bajir. After diverting their attention, Iemitsu Sawada could take another flight back to Japan and use other methods to give the ring to Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Originally, Sawada Iemitsu wanted to let Dino, the tenth generation leader of Gabrielle, be the person to hand over the ring. Gabrielle was originally an allied family of Vongola, and the current leader was a former student of Reborn. To a certain extent, he was also a senior of Sawada Tsunayoshi. He was the most suitable candidate both emotionally and logically.
Sawada Iemitsu had a good idea, but on his way to find Dino, he was stopped by two girls in uniform.
Sawada Iemitsu:?
"I'm so sorry, but I'm actually married, so I can't..."
"What weird things are you thinking about?"
The girl with longer hair rolled her eyes, raised her arm and nudged her companion behind her, signaling her to step forward.
The two "girls" were naturally the disguised Kurokawa Kaoru and Kuroba Kaito. They grabbed the person from behind them and faced Sawada Iemitsu's vigilant gaze. Kurokawa Kaoru took a deep breath and spoke in a male voice again, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Sawada Iemitsu. I am a friend of Sawada Tsunayoshi. I have come here to meet you at the request of Mr. Reborn."
Is it a boy? Sawada Iemitsu was stunned for a moment, and almost at the same time, he also grasped the key point of Kurokawa Kaoru's words.
"Are you Tsuna's friend?"
Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Guessing that the other party would be suspicious of him, Kurokawa Kaoru raised the corners of his lips and continued, "The appearance of a girl can make Varian relax his vigilance against me. In addition, my friend is very good at disguise and can help you avoid Varian's pursuit."
Even with Bagir as bait, given the mafia's sensitivity, they would naturally not just watch Sawada Iemitsu leave Japan without any reaction. It is obvious that they would send other people to follow him.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and then added another dose of shocking information: "The current heir of the Kurokawa family, Kurokawa Kaoru, strictly abides by the Kurokawa family's house rules and unconditionally supports the allied family, the Vongola family... After hearing this, can you rest assured?"
"Are you the heir of the Kurokawa family?"
Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and nodded: "Yes."
To be precise, the previous heir.
As an outside advisor to the Vongola clan, Sawada Iemitsu had a good understanding of the Vongola clan's allied families. Like the other allied families, the Kurokawa clan's headquarters was in Italy, and Sawada Iemitsu had previously met the leader of one of the allied clans at a gathering.
Unlike the other allied families, all members of the Kurokawa family wore gloves. While clearly giving off a dangerous vibe, they appeared to be quite gentle. The Kurokawa family leader was particularly impressive, and Sawada Iemitsu was still deeply impressed by him.
Remembering that the other party did have a son studying in high school in Japan, and looking at Kurokawa Kaoru in front of him, Sawada Iemitsu immediately believed it a little.
"Reborn had already guessed that the real ring was in my hand?"
"Lord Ibajiel has no chance against Sperbi Squaro."
Kurokawa Xun lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, instantly calming everyone down. "Sperbi Squalo has an impatient temper. Once he sets his mind to something, he will do whatever it takes. If Lord Bajir is convinced that the ring he's keeping is the real one, and he's infected by his emotions, Sperbi Squalo will naturally believe it too."
Did you even take this kind of thing into account?
Sawada Iemitsu's eyes widened, and he reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "As expected of Reborn, Tsuna will definitely become an excellent mafia leader if he follows him."
There was no way Iemitsu Sawada was unaware of what was happening with Basil. Given how dangerous Sperbi Squalo was, there was a high chance Sawada Tsunayoshi would be injured if he confronted him. Even with Reborn watching, there was no guarantee anything would go wrong.
You have to know that Mr. Kurokawa only started to let his son get involved in mafia-related matters after asking for his opinion. Even so, in the past few lives, before he went to high school... that is, before he was sixteen years old, Kurokawa Kaoru had never officially taken over the family affairs.
Compared to him, Tsunayoshi Sawada was just a junior high school kid. Both the ninth generation of Vongola and his father Iemitsu Sawada were too harsh on Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Thinking back to when he was still the head of the Kurokawa family, every time he ran into Sawada Tsunayoshi, he always felt like he was the younger one. Looking at Sawada Iemitsu in front of him, Kurokawa Kaoru's eyes were already filled with disdain.
When I think about it this way, it's really thanks to Nana Sawada that he has been able to maintain an inclusive attitude and accept everyone in the Vongola like Sora did, including Tsunayoshi Sawada from their allied families. It's all thanks to Nana Sawada that he hasn't been led astray.
Not knowing what Kurokawa Kaoru was thinking, Sawada Iemitsu looked at the boy in front of him and was silent for a moment. He made a serious decision in his heart: "Since you are Tsuna's friend, then I would like to trouble you to give this box to Tsuna."
Hearing Sawada Iemitsu's voice, Kurokawa Kaoru nodded subconsciously. When he realized what the other party had said, Kurokawa Kaoru's eyes widened and he looked at the other party in disbelief: "You mean... let me give the ring to Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
"That's right."
Sawada Iemitsu nodded. "In fact, my original choice was the current leader of Gabrielone."
"Then let him..."
"But after thinking about it carefully, Dino and Squalo had a pretty good relationship when they were students. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any accidents."
Compared to Dino, Kurokawa Kaoru, the heir of the Kurokawa family who appeared out of nowhere, is actually the best candidate.
He's friends with Sawada Tsunayoshi and is trusted by Reborn (Kurokawa Kaoru:?). Even though he's still a high school student, he feels like an adult who's experienced a lot. Plus, with the Kurokawa family being an allied family, it's no surprise they wouldn't do anything to harm the Vongola family.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his choice was right. Sawada Iemitsu sighed, looked at Kurokawa Kaoru, and said solemnly: "I'll leave the matter of the ring to you."
TBC.
