Payback (Hiatus)

Chapter 27 (EDITED)

Takeshi approached a grand mansion, headed to meet a cunning woman. Despite their constant clashes, they shared a deep mutual respect.

As he neared the mansion, the security guard halted his car, but upon recognizing him, he granted him entry. Takeshi visited the fox once a month to gather updates on the whereabouts of the Jade Hunter, who had resurfaced after 15 years in hiding.

Stepping out of his car, he was warmly greeted by the head butler and the other maids.

"Mr. Ojiro," the butler respectfully bowed, "the madam is expecting you."

"Where's the master?" Takeshi inquired.

"She's with the madam," the butler replied.

"Very well, lead the way," Takeshi said with a smile.

As he had suspected, the cunning woman was being pampered by her husband, who took pleasure in grooming her tail, keeping it clean and fluffy. Their affection for each other was evident, with her husband deeply in love with his wife. However, this was not the case for the fox, who was merely using him to maintain her luxurious lifestyle.

Yet, it would be unfair to label her as entirely heartless. She did harbor genuine care for her husband, recognizing him as the provider of her comfortable life. Her concern extended to those around her, especially her daughter. Having lost her entire family in her youth, she was determined to protect her current family at all costs.

"Oh, Ojiro-san, you're here!" the husband greeted with enthusiasm.

"It's good to see you again, Yaoyorozu-san," Takeshi replied.

"Come, have a seat," Yaoyorozu invited. He turned to a maid and said, "Bring us some tea."

"How are you doing, Inari?" Takeshi inquired.

"Same as always," Inari replied, a hint of playfulness in her tone. "Being beautiful is tiring."

Takeshi couldn't help but roll his eyes at that comment.

"What school did your daughter get into?" Takeshi asked.

"U.A," Inari replied nonchalantly. "She got in through a recommendation."

"Hmm... she's not particularly physically strong, though," Takeshi commented. Inari shot him a sharp glare.

"Not everything is about strength, you muscle-bound oaf," Inari retorted. "Besides, she aced the written exam and secured first place, unlike your son."

"Hey, my son is not that bad! He did make it into 1-A," Takeshi retorted.

"Well, it's a good thing he didn't turn out like you, you fighting maniac," Inari huffed. "I don't even want them to find out we know each other."

"I was thinking the same thing," Takeshi agreed, his arms crossed in irritation.

"Anyway, do you have any leads on where the master might be?" Inari inquired. "Even with our special forces, we still can't find her."

"I'm sorry, honey," Yaoyorozu interjected. "I'll ask the U.S. private forces to search for Lady Jade."

"It's not your fault, darling; the master is just exceptionally good at hiding," Inari said as she stroked her tail.

"Well, you don't need to look for her anymore," Takeshi announced, raising Inari's left eyebrow inquisitively. "I bring excellent news."

It took her a moment to grasp his meaning, but when she did, her eyes widened in astonishment.

"You don't mean..." Inari gasped. "Where is the master right now?" She stood up, excitement coursing through her.

"Contact the others; we're meeting her tonight," Takeshi declared.

Each member had a unique notification on their phones that would alert the rest of the group when Inko was found. They could only trigger it when her location was confirmed..

On a remote island, nestled among towering mountains, far removed from the mainland and devoid of human presence, a dragon resided within a cavern. For a decade, he had lived here, waiting patiently. Occasionally, groups of people would visit, keeping track of his health and well-being.

As the dragon peacefully slumbered, he was roused by a distinct popping sound. Confusion washed over him as he gazed at the small device that had made the noise. What was this thing, he wondered?

Transforming into his human form, he examined the device more closely and realized it was a cell phone. It took him a moment to comprehend the meaning of the alert.

Swiftly, he reverted to his dragon form and soared toward the mainland. His speed was so remarkable that people could hardly identify what had caused the sky to split. Torrential rain poured across every region, causing widespread flooding. As he flew, there was only one thought occupying his mind

 "Master"

In a secluded village, a unique family resided, each member a blend of human and wolf blood. Among them was a striking silver-haired woman who was tending to a wounded, white female wolf. The wolf had fallen victim to hunters, who had met their own grim fate at the hands of the silver-haired woman and had become a macabre meal for her younger sibling.

One of the younger siblings was employing her extraordinary quirk to heal the wolf's wounds, a wolf who also happened to be their mother. It wasn't long before the wounds vanished, leaving the wolf noticeably healthier.

After gently placing her mother on the bed, the silver-haired woman heard a faint sound. She followed the source of the noise and nearly stumbled in astonishment. She swiftly prepared herself, informing her siblings that she would be away for a while and instructing them to care for their mother in her absence.

In her hybrid form, she dashed as swiftly as her legs could carry her, unceremoniously knocking aside any obstacles in her path.

"Finally, I can see you again," she whispered, a mix of longing and anticipation filling her heart.

A professor at a certain university, known for his captivating history lessons that delved into the pre-Quirk era, was indeed quite the catch. Most of his students were female, drawn to his reputation for kindness, soft-spokenness, and an underlying air of something vaguely terrifying. He held a unique balance of respect and fear among his students.

Most of the time, he was a laid-back individual who placed a high value on knowledge, had no interest in relationships, and preferred solitary work. He was all about the pursuit of learning.

Just as he was on the brink of transitioning to the next topic, his phone abruptly buzzed. He was certain he had set it to silent mode, but the notification he received was something different. Hastily packing his belongings, he informed his students that they were free to leave early, a shocking departure from the usual practice of classes ending at the scheduled time.

He practically dashed out of the room, leaving his students in a state of bewilderment. He promptly hailed a cab to the train station and procured a ticket to an undisclosed destination.

"After all these years..." he muttered to himself, the weight of the notification hanging heavily in the air.

I seriously didn't know what to write and came up with these characters. They weren't even in my plan and new ideas just keep popping into my head and that's a problem. Cuz it won't end.

With new chapter mean new backstory.

I need to stop but i can't help it.

The story line is getting really bad. I'm sorry. It's getting out of topic. I might even have a plot hole.

I just hoped you guys understand the story so far.

That's all for this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it
