Kaito's lips stretched into a wider smile, and his black eyes glinted with an evil light.

"I knew it the whole time. It was quite amusing to discover all your little private investigators running around like headless chickens." He said.

"Unfilial! How can there be such an unfilial child in the Takahashi family?" He banged his palm on the desk.

Kaito was unmoved and looked at the old man who was breathing heavily. His evil eyes became cold at the statement.

"Should I have hurried back so that you can send me to my death?" Kaito asked without his usual flippant attitude.

For the first time, the old man was speechless.

He had thought that Kaito was bluffing when he said that he knew everything. However, it seemed like it was not a bluff. He seemed to have an idea why he was here.

However, the old man was thick-skinned. After the initial shock faded, he did not display awkwardness as he pressed on. He did not think that he was pushing Kaito to an unfavourable position.

"What do you mean by that? I am giving you an opportunity to avenge your parents' death." His tone was severe.

Kaito's eyes turned chillier at the unrepentant person.

"Why don't you avenge them yourself? They are your son and daughter-in-law." He countered without feeling.

The grandfather was speechless. He had said the words because he had hoped to anger and rile up Kaito by mentioning his parent's death so that he would be fired up enough to join forces with him. However, he had underestimated this person.

"You! Don't you care about the injustice of their death?" He asked banging the table again.

Kaito leaned back in his chair with a smile and without a hint of apology.

"Perhaps I would care if I remembered them. But I was two years old when they died, and I did not know about them until I was sixteen. They are strangers to me in every way."

Elder Takahashi could see the sense in the words, but he still felt it was wrong for Kaito not to care.

"Even if this is the case…" He started.

"I am also quite reluctant to be used by you to fight your enemy so that you can fish in troubled waters." Kaito interrupted and added.

"How can you be so unfeeling? This is for the sake of the survival of our family." The riled up old man was angered once again by the lack of respect.

"Our family? Am I a part of your family? Why didn't I know about that?" Kaito smiled without care.

The old man realised that they would not meet eye-to-eye if he kept trying to make him do the right thing using familial ties. He could only turn to another strategy.

"If you help me, I will remunerate you well. You can choose any property under my name, and I will give you one hundred million yen." He had a smile.

Kaito laughed. "That's amusing. I have not been offered such a poor deal since I was a teenager."

The old man suppressed his anger. He had no idea what this wayward grandson did for a living, but he believed that what he had offered was quite fair. Unless he was devastatingly wealthy, no one could turn down such an offer.

And there was no way this grandson could be that rich. Otherwise, he would not have come to Mountain Ridge.

Even though he believed that Kaito was taking him for a ride to get more money, he had no negotiating power. He had to accept the situation.

"How much would you like?" He asked with a heavy tone and waited for Kaito to quote an exorbitant price.

"I am doubtful that you can afford my hire rates, seeing that you are not in control of your company." Kaito paused. "But as it happens, I do have some free time, and I am taking a holiday in Mountain Ridge. I might lift a hand to help you if I feel like it."

Elder Takahashi could not see through his grandson. He always acted contrary to his expectations. However, he was certain that this young man was not pure-hearted enough to offer a helping hand without any gains.

"What do you want in return?" He did not want to be caught off-guard.

Kaito's eyes glinted with that evil light.

"What I want, I will take." He declared. "I suppose that you want to push the third one's first son to the forefront?"

Elder Takahashi's heart beat a little faster. He had not spoken about that grandson to anyone because of the fear that his eldest son would act. However, Kaito had deduced the matter without any prompting.

At that moment, he realised that Kaito might be more brilliant than he seemed.

Unfortunately, he could not take over the Takahashi empire because he was a stranger, even though they were blood-related. If he had grown up in the family, he would have been a good candidate to lead.

"Yes. But this matter must be kept secret." The old man held an indisputable seriousness.

Kaito did not respond to the statement.

"I will determine if he is worthy of my help. If he is not suitable, then you will have to watch as your little commercial kingdom falls apart."

The arrogance in the words made Elder Takahashi annoyed, but he did not dare say anything after getting Kaito to agree with so much effort.

"Then, I will let the Takahashi family and the society know of your return."
