After entering the room and closing the door, Atobe exhaled gently. Even though he grew up under everyone's attention, being stared at with such meaningful gazes made even Atobe feel pressured. Especially when there were a few sharp gazes mixed in.
Everyone had their own thoughts as they rested in the room arranged by the butler. Almost everyone called home to report what they had seen today as soon as they entered the room. It was as if he was afraid that he would be one step behind others and not be able to get accurate information in time. These people were all descendants of great clans, so they naturally knew how much benefits a Yin-Yang Master could bring to their clans. Not only the people in the Atobe family, but even those who had returned early were probably in a hurry to report the situation! All along, the Yin-Yang Art had been monopolized by the few Yin-Yang Families. Outsiders could not come into contact with it at all. Not to mention those Yin-Yang Arts, even the legends of those demons had long been banned among the people in order to maintain the exclusive status of the Yin-Yang Family. Japan was also a country where monsters were rampant, so ordinary people who knew nothing about monsters were even more afraid of them. Now, there was a person who could eliminate demons and was not controlled by the Yin-Yang Family. Which family would not want to rope him in?
Atobe lay on the bed, frowning as he looked at the darkness in front of him. The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. However, Atobe knew that the families outside were in a huge mess. From tomorrow onwards, no, maybe even before tomorrow, Murong Ziyun would become the target of all the big families. They didn't want her to get involved in the conflict between the big families so early, so they hid her ability with everyone. Moreover, she had such a sensitive identity. But Ito Mie should have told Mrs. Ito about what happened in the hospital! The Yamaguchi-gumi's sudden pursuit of Mo Rong was probably related to this matter. However, after today's incident, it was no longer possible to hide the ability to copy faces. Originally, he thought that with Asakura around, even if there was a monster or something, she would definitely be able to deal with it. After all, Asakura had always been competitive and liked to be in the limelight since he was young. However, he did not expect that... Atobe's brows furrowed even more tightly. Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, he still felt a little uncomfortable that Murong had fallen into such a situation early because he had saved him.
Atobe turned over and saw the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table. It's already past one o'clock. That unglamorous woman should be asleep by now! This was the second time she had saved me. She was the one who needed to be protected. Why was she always the one who rushed out to save me when I was in danger? This thought suddenly made Atobe's heart feel stifled. It was like there was a ball of fire in his heart, but he couldn't release it. He was unwilling, but he was helpless. Since when did he, who had always been proud, feel powerless? It was as if he was always so useless in front of her. He could not take care of her, could not protect her, and could not even help when she was slandered. Atobe suddenly felt irritated and sat up from the bed. She wanted to go out for some fresh air, but just as she opened the door, she met Duren Burg who was walking out of the room.
The two of them walked to the balcony together, and Burg spoke first.
"You can't sleep either?"
"Ah!" Atobe looked up at the stars in the sky. The cold breeze blew his short silver hair, and his usually arrogant face was filled with a rare melancholy.
"Is it also because you're worried about her?" Burg turned to look at Atobe. Although he still had a smile on his face, it didn't look like a smile at all.
"With her status, I'm afraid she'll be in a lot of trouble after today.”As he spoke, he unconsciously frowned.
"Tonight, all the big families will definitely be very lively.”"Atobe, are you blaming yourself?"”
"Humph! I won't do something so unglamorous!”The Frost Monarch arrogantly shook his head.
Burg's smile deepened as he turned to look at the starry sky. "Although my power might not be of much use, I will do my best to protect her no matter what!"”
Atobe suddenly turned to look at Buru, then turned his gaze to the sky again. His gaze was firm."I won't admit defeat either!"
"Atobe, can I take what you just said as a challenge?"”
Atobe snorted and turned back to his room without looking at Buru."Up to you!"
Atobe's smile faded as he slowly opened his blue eyes and clenched his fists in his pockets. Atobe was not a simple opponent!
After returning to his room, Atobe was even more frustrated. What Burg had said just now kept running through his mind. It was such a simple sentence, but he couldn't help but care about it. Atobe clenched his fists in the darkness. Since it's a challenge, I can't lose no matter what. I must become stronger!
Burg stood on the balcony, enjoying the breeze, thinking about the conversation just now. Why did he suddenly say such a thing? It had always been difficult for her to have the will to fight. Why did she inexplicably take Atobe's words as a challenge? She clearly knew that Atobe was just like her and only wanted to protect her.
Looking at the night sky, Lone Wolf suddenly remembered the night he was chased by Murong. When he heard the gunshot behind him, he was really shocked and a sense of fear spread from the bottom of his heart. It was an instinctive fear of death. However, when she saw Murong's concerned but determined gaze, she suddenly felt her beating heart calm down. It was as if as long as she followed her, she would definitely be fine. She lowered her head and smiled gently. She was so innocent that she couldn't even say the word kiss, but she could remain calm at the moment of life and death. She was so thin and weak, but she always made people feel at ease. She was just a weak girl, but she always had to stand in front of men in times of crisis. In front of her, he always felt powerless. He wanted to protect her, but he could only be protected by her every time. As a man, this really made him very unwilling! Since that was the case, he would just become stronger. At the very least, he could not hide behind her every time he encountered danger. Murong Ziyun, I really want to know what kind of person you are!
