His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy-Chapter 548

Chapter 548: SHUT YOUR MOUTH

Kaito looked at the two people and felt they were ridiculous. No man could wield absolute power and hope to stand. And he was not a god who could hold the fate of the world in his hands. Everything he accomplished was through sheer hard work.

“Do you think you can prove your worth by creating a large explosion?” Kaito asked.

Bonnie laughed. “No. This is just the beginning. We are celebrating our past and looking forward to a brighter future. We do not have to bow to other people’s rule.”

“Our goal is to stand into the limelight and redefine everything. We want people to understand that the meaning of changing the world.” Clyde lifted his glass of red wine and sipped on it like he was a refined man.

On the other end of the com system, Akira whispered. “Can I talk?”

“You can keep talking,” Kaito said while looking at Bonnie and Clyde, but he was agreeing with Akira. Most assassins had sharp years, so Akira’s caution was necessary. However, it did not matter for Bonnie and Clyde.

After years of experimenting with explosives, their hearing was not that good. It was even slightly lower than a normal person. Unlike normal demolition experts, they refused to use the appropriate safety gear because it did not match their cool images.

.....

“Do not patronise us, Kaito. Do you think that by stalling a miracle will happen? At precisely half-past eight, we will have our moment.” Clyde said with obvious smugness.

Bonnie frowned. “Why did you tell him that?”

She could not believe that Clyde would let out such a secret with so little provocation. She knew that Clyde never felt secure before Kaito, even when their working relationship was good. However, they both needed to keep their eye on the prize.

Kaito looked at the watch on his wrist. It was one minute to eight. There was half an hour before the bomb exploded. He could not help feeling that it was very limited time. Even if he were to torture Bonnie and Clyde, they might be able to hold on for that period.

“They are insecure, and Clyde is desperate to prove that he can be better than you. Try to destabilise their emotions.” Akira said. “I am going to call the CAB and inform them of the development.”

Kaito looked at the two people before him. It was not difficult to set them off.

“I think he has a compulsion to please me,” Kaito replied to Bonnie with a teasing look at Clyde.

Clyde felt humiliated by the statement because the implication of the sentence was obvious. Kaito was trying to put him at the bottom of his shoe. He was making it seem like he, Clyde, was not a man. What could be more shameful than that?

Clyde banged his hand on the delicate dinner table. “You shut your mouth!”

Several people looked in their direction due to the disturbance. Kaito did not look at all discomfited by the progress of the conversation. He knew that at the moment, having a calm conversation with Bonnie and Clyde would not stop the bomb.

The more unstable the two people became, the easier it would be to get information from them.

“Clyde, baby, stay calm. Remember our plans...” Bonnie said soothingly after looking at the other diners apologetically. She reached a hand across the table and tried to ground him.

Clyde’s mind seemed to clear up for a moment. He looked at Kaito with anger and annoyance. He did not know what about Kaito got on his nerves.

“You two are a cute couple. You should be satisfied that you have found each other.” Kaito said with his devious smile. “Some people are meant for mediocrity. You will only drive yourself to a doomed end if you keep wasting your time trying to change your destiny.”

Kaito sighed. “I envy people like you. You could just live your life without worrying about anything else in the world. It is the gift of being ordinary. As for me, I have been trying to retire for so long. But the very fabric of the universe will not allow me.”

Clyde lost it completely. “That’s it.”

He took out a gun from his ankle holster and pointed it at Kaito. If there was anything he hated, it was people pointing out that he was ordinary. When he was in school, his classmates would joke that he had no sense of presence.

Their favourite practical joke was acting like they could not see him or hear him. For example, the class monitor would pretend not to hear him during roll call. Or someone would come to class and ask for him and pretend not to see him.

He admitted that his face was quite ordinary, but it was not to the extent of being forgotten.

Once someone even locked him up in the school. It might have been an accident. However, when he reported to the teacher, everyone said he was being petty. There was no need to pursue an investigation for something like that.

Later on, he heard people joking that he was so ordinary that he blended into walls. Moreover, someone mentioned that even his family did not notice that he was not home the entire night. Who was he to blame a random person for accidentally locking him up?

After that time, he decided that he would let people remember him.

He studied with care and managed to understand the principles of simple explosives. He raided the chemistry lab and experimented on different chemicals. Little by little, he managed to understand how he could create a simple bomb.

And then on one night, he took action.

It was the day their class was planning for a test of courage through the clothes. It was the cliché of solving the mysteries of the school, the usual nonsense. But on that night, no mystery was solved, and another was added to the mix.

The entire school burned down to the ground, killing the entire class. Only a few whose parents were too strict to allow summertime shenanigans survived. It was also at that time that Clyde faked his death and disappeared to look for his purpose.

A few patrons screamed as they noticed the gun due to Clyde’s shout. People stood up from their tables and the entire restaurant became chaotic.

Seeing that things had escalated, Bonnie could only take out her gun from her purse to support Clyde.

“Everybody, calm the f*ck down!” She shouted while pointing her gun.

Unfortunately, the crowd continued screaming and shouting with fear. It was especially loud because girls loved coming to the place to take photos in the restaurant in the sky.

Bonnie became more impatient and directly shot at the crystal chandelier at the centre of the room. “I said shut the f*ck up! We are trying to have a conversation here.”

Immediately, the room became quiet as people cowered, realising that the gun could kill them.
