After Aashi had her fill, she patted her stomach on the car and Erick took over driving, then they moved from there and set their destination at random.

.....

“Aashi, what were you about to say before,” Erick asked as he was curious about it.

“Ahhh! Right, I almost forgot about that. The man’s name is Katsutoshi Kirin who contacted us for the meeting for personal reasons so I snooped around to know who he is. After a little research, I found out that he is a retired general from the army.” Aashi scratched her head, forgetting about it, then she composed herself and started to talk about the matter.

“Hmmn! Then did you check what kind of person he is?” Erick asked as not every retired person is a good person.

“That, I already did!” Aashi replied and transferred the data into the display screen on the car.

“So he was a god of war. hmmn!” Erick glanced at the screen and looking over the accomplishment he was impressed.

Katsutoshi Kirin is a man of integrity and a strict follower of discipline. He followed his father’s order to join the army and just in a few years, he earned a place for himself in the heart of the army. After 10 years he became the pillar who can support the country. He stopped the invasion of foreigners at least two times with his wits alone, then he retired after 30 years of service.

“That’s what the report says but something doesn’t add up, there is no information about his daughter or any family member. It deliberately had been erased from the database.” Aashi said with a contemplating impression.

“Well! It doesn’t matter as long as he fits the criteria for the people I have set to receive my products.” Erick said with a nonchalant face but he couldn’t hide his admiration for Katsutoshi Kirin, a respectful old man.

“I find it very surprising that the man still has a love for his country when he lost almost all his family members to protect this country. Only his daughter remained beside him who also isn’t well.” Aashi hacked the files which were kept secret from the public and got to know a great deal which genuinely made her admire this kind yet dignified old man.

“Hmmn! You can very rarely find this kind of person but they still failed to become a person who can be respected by us as we only respect those who will do everything in their power to protect their family and loved ones, even if they had to destroy the world.” Erick nodded to Aashi and said with a resolute expression then looked at Aashi with a soft smile and next second his eyes became fierce like a desolate beast who would crush anyone as long as someone touches his precious treasures.

“Wait..wait, Master! Stop the car. I spotted a great spot so please park to the side. I want to walk here for a while and breathe some fresh air.” Aashi looked outside, seeing the fountain in the middle of a pretty garden; she hurriedly called out to Erick to stop the car.

Erick stopped the car and parked at the side, and then they got out, Aashi ran playfully around the water fountain and then sat in front of the Rose flowers which were planted at the side in very elaborate rows with the fountain in the middle making the place look very good.

“Not bad, this place does have very good feng shui plants,” Erick bent down a little to look at the plants in the middle of the flowers which looked familiar to him so he commented after identifying them.

He took his watch and transformed it into a camera then started to take some photos of Aashi who was just enjoying and playing with the leaves.

.....

The place might look small but it is well organised and there’s also a wooden hut where rows of rose plants end or may start from there but there are multiple maple plants and lily plants surrounding the hut which aren’t that big yet they do have flowers on them and look stunning.

The old man was watering the plants and coughing slightly from time to time but had a steady breath which shows that his body is in good health. Maybe he caught the flu or he might be allergic to something.

Seeing the young couple enjoying themselves he didn’t want to bother them but fearing they might damage his well-taken care garden so he thought that he should give them a small warning so they would not damage his garden.

He has been taking care of it like his own child for ten years now. So he has a strong attachment to it.

Once he moved toward them he noticed that the couple were looking at him with a smile of respect. He has not met such a couple for quite some time with a humble attitude who gives respect to old men like him.

“Hello, this young man and young lady! Did you too like my humble garden, it’s small but I find comfort and solace by taking care of it.” The old man smiled at the young couple with a humble attitude so he decided to entertain them and it’s not like he gets guests every day.

“Hahahaha! You must be joking, gramps. This place is much better than the city’s polluted gardens and we find it very comforting here so thank you for allowing us to enter here.” The young man chuckled and replied politely to the old man.

“Hahaahaha! Well said, young man. So how should I call you a young couple,” the old man laughed hearing the reply of the young man and pleased with the response, he patted his shoulder then he remembered he didn’t even know the name of the young man and the lady.

“Ohh! Sorry about the late intro, I am Erick Dahl and this is my cousin and friend, Aashi Dahl. But what should I call you, gramps!” Erick apologised for the late introduction then he introduced himself and Aashi. Erick felt that the old man might be offended if he called him old man directly so he addressed him as a gramps and asked the identity of the old man.
