As long as Kaoru told about Zarina's past mother who had died a few years ago Arthur did not open his mouth at all, he simply fell silent while staring at Kaoru without blinking. Kaoru also felt a little awkward when stared at like that by Arthur, even though he was currently not a child of the Yamaguchi-gumi clan anymore. He was the successor of the most sinister Yakuza clan, but before Arthur he felt a little awkward.
"That's why since her mother died me and my people have been protecting Zarina from afar, for not wanting to traumatize her again to us" Kaoru said.
"Did Zarina know that you were the cause of her death?" arthur asked coldly without turning his sharp gaze away from Kaoru.
"Of course not, the hospital at that time did not tell the cause of the death of the mother. They just said that her mother had an accident while she was at work" Kaoru replied quickly.
A mocking smile fell on Artur's face when he heard Kaoru's last words and then looked at the men if you were standing next to them.
"Your coward, a real man is a man who wants to take responsibility and dare to take risks for what he has done. If you really are a real man who has a little conscience you should speak honestly to Zarina, as a child he should know the cause of the death of the mother at that time," said Arthur flat.
"What do you think I'm doing this for? for years I disguised myself as a fool to approach him, to find out who was close to Zarina and try to find a gap to apologize to him. But the girl made a very large fortress for the men who approached her, yet I felt a little strange as you began to approach her. That time I saw you guys leave the apartment to a shopping mall and Zarina looked comfortable next to you, very different in nature when she saw us Yakuza," kaoru replied with a raised voice trying to give a defense.
"Because he knows I'm not a bad person, I'm sincere with him" Arthur said confidently.
"If you do consider Zarina your sister and want to protect her, then protect her from the Hyuga family clan who wants to make her the next target" Arthur added.
"I know about it, Max already...
"Yes talking about Maxwell apparently you guys are close yeah, you little sycophants. With me he said he didn't know Japanese people but in fact he was familiar with Yakuza like you," said Arthur coldly cutting Kaoru's words insinuating Maxwell who was enjoying ramen again at the next table.
"Actually Maxwell and I are not very familiar, I once hired him for one important business and hard to lose contact. But yesterday when I saw you taking Zarina to your expensive apartment I accidentally saw Maxwell with you, so I called him again" Kaoru replied in defense of Maxwell.
"What are you doing..My food hasn't run out, Arthur?!" maxwell asked in shock, in his mouth full of ramen.
"You've eaten three large bowls of ramen and now you're still eating again. Is your stomach actually made of rubber or rice sacks?" ask Arthur quickly.
"We must not waste food let alone free food" Maxwell replied honestly.
"Foolish, let's go home. My business is done here" said Arthur flatly as he pulled Maxwell out of the tavern.
"My meal is not over yet.my.... Arthur at least let me spend first, the farmers have tried hard enough to make that ramen flour and I'm still hungry....
Arthur does not listen to Maxwell's screaming voice asking to be released in order to eat ramen again, while Kaoru only stares sharply at Arthur and Maxwell who leave the ramen shop without talking.
"What are we going to do, sir?" ask one of Kaoru's Yakuza men.
"Stay as usual, we take care of Zarina and watch Hyuga's movements. We already know who wants to harm the girl, I will continue to look after her until I am sure that she is absolutely safe" Kaoru said, she was truly sorry that she could do nothing when Zarina cried when her mother died.
It is still clear in Kaoru's memory how Zarina cried while calling out the mother's name when the mother's corpse began to be put into the ground, his heart was completely sick at that moment as if the one being buried was his own mother. So he vows to replace Kartika Wulandari to look after Zarina for the rest of her life, until Zarina finds someone who can protect her.
"I will help you guard Zarina in my own way Arthur, the one who tried to harm Zarina is also my enemy. You take it easy that the Hyuga clan's business will be my responsibility, you take good care of Zarina" Kaoru said in her heart, he really has considered Zarina as his own sister since the death of Kartika Wulandari a few years ago.
