    Chapter 49: The Black File - Ray Kurushimi


    1. The Brothers Read the Black File Titled: Ray Kurushimi (Their Father)


    The Kurushimi brothers, having already uncovered some of the darker aspects of their family’s past, now stood before a file that was unlike any other. The cover of this one was black, stark and unyielding, its contents sealed with a sense of finality. The file had their father''s name etched across the front: Ray Kurushimi.


    "Ray Kurushimi," Martin murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. It was rare for their father’s name to be mentioned in their presence. A man whose legacy was known only in shadows, whose strength was legendary, but whose true story was hidden behind locked doors. This file was about to reveal that story, the one they had only heard whispered in the dark corners of their world.


    Temna’s eyes flicked to the others, his fingers tracing the edge of the file. "I wonder how much of this matches what we’ve been told."


    Krishna, always eager for truth, grinned. "Let’s find out."


    With a shared, silent agreement, the brothers opened the file. What they read would change their perception of their father forever.


    2. Ray''s Feats at 15


    The file began with a chilling account of Ray Kurushimi’s early years, focusing on his feats at just 15 years old. The brothers had known that their father was a fighter—everyone in their world knew that. But the details of his youth were far more extraordinary than they could have imagined.


    At 15, Ray was already an unstoppable force. It was said that he fought and killed over 25 members of the Tori no Ichizoku with his bare hands. The group of assassins, some seasoned and battle-hardened, were no match for the boy who had yet to even fully mature. Ray’s physical prowess was unmatched, his instincts honed by years of brutal training, and his heart hardened by a deep-seated thirst for vengeance.


    "He was a monster," Takashi muttered, staring at the file with a mix of awe and disbelief. "At 15… killing that many people with his bare hands? Who does that?"


    Krishna’s eyes glinted with something darker. "Someone who was born for this."


    The file went on to describe how Ray’s early years were defined by his unrelenting willpower. His ability to stay calm and focused in the heat of battle, his speed and strength, and his sheer determination to emerge victorious no matter the odds. The brothers couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride—but also a creeping fear—at what their father had accomplished at such a young age.


    3. Ray''s Greatest Battle: The Battle Against Kai


    The file then shifted to one of Ray’s greatest battles, a fight that had become part of the legend surrounding him. The story was like something out of a myth—a battle against a creature that defied human limitations.


    Ray had faced off against a member of the Tori no Ichizoku known as Kai. Kai was no ordinary man. He had been demon-blessed by Akuma himself, bestowed with superhuman strength and speed that made him nearly unstoppable. His body was more machine than human, his movements lightning-quick and his strikes lethal.This novel is published on a different platform.

    But Ray, even in the face of such an adversary, had shown no fear. The battle between them was brutal—Ray’s fists clashing with Kai’s enhanced abilities in a dance of destruction. It wasn’t just a fight of strength; it was a fight of wills. Kai was powerful, yes, but Ray’s resolve was stronger.


    The file detailed the fight in chilling detail: the devastation caused by their battle, the ground shattering under their movements, the air filled with the sounds of bones cracking and fists landing with bone-shaking impact. It was a battle that could have torn apart an entire city, but Ray fought on with relentless fury. The fight culminated in a final, devastating blow. Ray’s bare hands, drenched in blood, landed a fatal strike on Kai’s chest, piercing through his demon-enhanced body and ending the fight in an instant.


    The file ended with the conclusion: Ray Kurushimi had killed Kai, and with it, one of the most dangerous warriors in the Tori no Ichizoku had been erased from existence.


    4. Kai''s Backstory


    As the brothers absorbed the story of Ray’s greatest battle, the file didn’t just end with the fight itself. It continued with the tragic backstory of Kai, the demon-blessed warrior who had once been a man.


    Kai had not always been the monster he had become. His story began in childhood, a time marked by suffering. Kai was born into a family that subjected him to physical abuse. His parents, cruel and unrelenting, would beat him senseless until he lost consciousness. The pain was constant, and yet, it was the only thing that seemed to define his existence. From a young age, he learned that the world was a place of suffering, and the only way to survive was to embrace it.


    As a teenager, Kai’s life didn’t get any better. He was betrayed time and time again by those he loved and trusted. Five different women, each of whom he had given his heart to, cheated on him. And worse yet, they shamelessly posted their infidelities online for the world to see, mocking him in public for his suffering. Each betrayal cut deeper than the last, leaving Kai a hollow shell of a man, consumed by bitterness and anger.


    By the time he reached adulthood, Kai had nothing left to live for but vengeance. His family had been brutally killed in a massacre orchestrated by the Tori no Ichizoku, and it was only through their intervention that he had been forced to join the organization. With no other options and no hope of ever escaping the cycle of pain, Kai became one of their most dangerous soldiers, enhanced with demonic power granted by Akuma himself.


    But even with all the power bestowed upon him, Kai was still a man broken by his past—a man who had never known love or kindness, a man who fought only out of rage and survival.


    5. Ray Fought and Killed Kai


    When Ray fought and killed Kai, it was more than just a battle between two warriors—it was the end of a tragic story. Kai had been consumed by his own darkness, driven by a past that had twisted him into something monstrous. But Ray, despite his own brutal upbringing, had a strength that came from something more. He had fought for something greater—something pure. And in the end, it was this resolve that made him the victor.


    The file closed, and the brothers sat in stunned silence. They had always known their father was a killer, a ruthless force of nature, but the depths of his actions—the way he had shaped the world around him—were far more profound than they had realized. Ray’s life had been defined by battles, but it was his choices, his ability to rise above the darkness, that had truly set him apart.


    "That’s our father," Takashi said quietly, his voice a mix of awe and confusion.


    Krishna’s grin was wide. "No wonder we turned out like this."


    Temna closed the file with a solemn expression. "We don’t just come from a line of killers. We come from survivors—men who’ve fought against the worst of the world and came out on top."


    Martin’s voice was steady, calm. "Our father didn’t just fight to survive. He fought to change things. And we… we’ve got the same blood in us."


    The brothers sat there for a long moment, the weight of what they had learned settling in. Ray’s legacy was more than just bloodshed. It was a story of survival, of fighting not just for victory, but for something greater—something that had been passed down to them. They were more than just sons of a killer. They were sons of a legend.
