Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 612: IUD-Chapter 610 Lacking Helper

“Make up for my past losses?” Fang Li’s eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard this.

Tohno Akiha, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned, as if discussing the most mundane of matters, though her gaze was intensely serious.

Behind her, the twin maids – be it the lively Kohaku or the serene Hisui – wisely refrained from interjecting at that moment.

In this atmosphere, the tension in the meeting room was palpable.

Especially for Fang Li, it was a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

Earlier, Fang Li had considered various possibilities, but he had never expected that Tohno Akiha would invite the orphan of the Nanaya Clan for this purpose.

Therefore, Fang Li asked directly, “I don’t quite follow. Could you clarify what you mean?”

Hearing this, Tohno Akiha briefly closed her eyes and spoke softly.

“I have come to understand to some extent what my father did in the past.”

In other words, Tohno Akiha was aware of what Tohno Makihisa had done to the Nanaya Clan.

“To be honest, I don’t completely agree with his actions.

However, as the previous head of the family, my father had his reasons for making those decisions at that time.

As his successor, I prefer not to pass judgment.

With this statement, Tohno Akiha made her position clear.

Personally, Tohno Akiha did not support Tohno Makihisa’s decision to destroy the Nanaya Clan out of fear of their power.

It wasn’t a matter of morals, ethics, or sentimentality – it simply wasn’t in line with her own beliefs as “Tohno Akiha”.

However, Tohno Makihisa was the head of the family, and as such, he had the authority to make certain decisions.

It was quite normal.

Therefore, even though Tohno Akiha did not agree with these actions, she chose not to dwell on it.

Now, however, Tohno Makihisa had passed away, and she herself was the current leader.

As the current leader, Tohno Akiha naturally had the privilege of expressing and implementing her own ideas.

That was the only reason.

“So I found you and sent you an invitation letter.”

Tohno Akiha opened her eyes and looked at Fang Li as she continued.

“I cannot confidently say that I am responsible for what my father did. But I believe that I can help you.”

After all, the Main God’s Dimension had arranged for Fang Li to spend several years evading Tohno Makihisa’s pursuit, hiding either in deep mountains or in dark alleys, without a real life or even a social identity – a mere orphan of the Assassin Clan.

In short, he was an undocumented person.

“If you wish, I can arrange everything for you – provide you with a new identity, a place to stay, supervise your daily life, and allow you to live an ordinary life.”

Tohno Akiha seemed to have planned everything meticulously, without a hint of hesitation as she explained to Fang Li.

“If you wish, I can enroll you in school, make sure you get a good job after graduation, arrange meetings for you, and even help you settle down and start a family.”

“That’s what I can do for you.”

With that, Tohno Akiha paused for a moment, then added, “If you have any requests, feel free to voice them. As long as it is possible, I will fulfill them.”

After speaking, Tohno Akiha paused, seemingly observing Fang Li’s reaction.

Fang Li on the other hand fell silent, inwardly feeling somewha confused.

As for Tohno Akiha’s ideas and principles, Fang Li was quite impressed.

Maintaining one’s own style, sticking to one’s personal beliefs, and walking through life with integrity – such a code of conduct must be quite striking to those who have lived more passively in society, don’t you think?

Tohno Akiha’s actions were flawless and worthy of admiration.

However, no matter how Tohno Akiha imagined it, the reality was that Fang Li had never experienced the dark life of being hunted for several years as she described.

As for Tohno Akiha’s idea of making amends…

“Sorry, I don’t see the need for it,” Fang Li said frankly.

“I can’t explain the reasons to you, and I must tell you frankly, I have suffered no losses, so I don’t need any compensation. I can only thank you for your kindness.”

Indeed.

Fang Li had suffered no loss at all.

His identity as an orphan of the Nanaya Clan had merely been arranged by the Main God’s Dimension.

Therefore, Fang Li saw no reason to accept someone else’s one-sided gestures.

In a way, Fang Li and Tohno Akiha were quite similar, both sticking to their own paths in life without deviation.

Otherwise, if he were a calculating and scheming Divine Envoy, wouldn’t he have already started planning how to profit from the situation of the main character?

Of course, since Tohno Akiha didn’t fully understand Fang Li’s situation, she could only slightly furrow her brow and look directly at Fang Li, asking, “Does that mean you don’t intend to accept any help from me?

“You have your reasons for wanting to help me, and I have mine for refusing you, right?” Fang Li said with a faint smile.

“Or is there another reason why you feel compelled to make amends for me?”

Tohno Akiha fell silent.

This answer said it all.

It wasn’t that what Tohno Akiha had said before was wrong.

But there was another reason.

Fang Li speculated that it might have something to do with Tohno Shiki.

Another reason why Tohno Akiha wanted to help Fang Li might be because of their relationship as the only surviving members of their clan, considering that Tohno Shiki had long forgotten all about the Nanaya.

With this thought in mind, Fang Li changed his mind and suddenly spoke.

“It’s not so much about making amends. If it’s just to help, I would like to ask you for a favor.”

This statement caught Tohno Akiha off guard for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

“Go ahead,” Tohno Akiha said seriously now.

“As long as it’s something within my power, I will consider it.”

“Is that so?” Fang Li smiled suddenly.

In the next moment, Fang Li posed his question.

“So, does your family need any assistants?”
