Kawaki’s POV

We flew for about 8 hours, but I don't remember the trip because I fell asleep. I still don't get it. Plus... why Jigen is free again?! I can’t forgive him… For Code… When we landed, Naruto woke me up.

"Kawaki, let’s go. Don’t worry, you two will be safe with me!" He smiled. I believe him. But I don’t believe that Eida or Jigen. I think that he’s too naive. They are smarter than he thinks… But that doesn’t matter now. We split up at the airport. Naruto was talking to Sasuke all the time. He needed to tell him some more details. But… I was really surprised. I’ve never been to America. The state is so big… And so many people… The next way we took a taxi. But right in front of the building, Naruto called someone.

"Hi Eida, I have a surprise for you. But can I talk to your father? Don’t worry, I don’t plan anything…" he lied. He somehow knew she’s with him.

"I don’t care… It’s lost anyway. Do with him what you want! But I assure you won’t get out alive!" She’s really scared of him, isn’t she?

"Eida, you have to go get ready for the wedding…" That voice… It sounds familiar…

"Not now, Code! I don’t even have my grooms here!" Code! But that’s just a coincidence. He’s dead. I saw it in front of my eyes.

"Ehh, Eida. The grooms are here. That’s the surprise."

"Really? I wouldn’t expect it from you… You don’t plan anything, do you?"

"No, but it seems that my boys fell in love with you so badly that they wanted to visit you. I couldn’t help it-ttebayo…" Gross. Like I would fell in love with anyone…

"I see, I miss them too. Mainly Boruto." Boruto smirked.

"See? She wants me."

"Take her." Why is he still arguing with me? I don’t care.

"Yup, Boruto misses you too. But can I talk to your dad first? About the wedding you know… It’s not so easy."

"Of course, just go in…" She was annoyed. She’s really playing it. It’s obvious. But good for Boruto. He can get back to normal.

"Thank you, Eida." She opened the door. She even told her dad to welcome us. We came to her office.

"It’s different from my office… It’s bigger and there’s not much paperwork, hahah." He laughed nervously. Suddenly someone closed the door.

"Nice to meet you, Uzumaki Naruto." He frowned at him.

"I learned that you want your daughter to marry one of my sons. Otherwise… you’ll kill her family. Why?"

"Heh, this is no interrogation. But it’s because of Code. I can’t stand that scum orphan. And your boys are the best option for her." Orphan?? No way… That’s impossible…

$And who do you mean by her family? Her mother died."

"I mean mainly Code. She really thinks I don’t know about their relationship. But it will end soon… She just has to marry Boruto."

"Why exactly Boruto? Kawaki is…"

"Just another scum orphan. He’s worthless." I frowned at him.

"My father is still alive."

"Didn’t Jigen tell you he killed him? Poor thing." So the phrase was true.

"You’ll never see him again…" But I was emotionless. He was just a dirty abuser. Now I know I could have better parents like the man next to me. That’s why I admire him. He doesn’t care about my past. He takes me for who I am. And that’s why…
