the other side
After receiving Luo Chen's reply, Raiden Mei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she quickly composed herself, looked at her phone and couldn't help but smile. She leaned her whole body gently against the table, propped her head up with her left hand and looked at the desk.
Upon closer inspection of the girl's desk, three photographs were displayed. The leftmost was a family photo taken when she was three years old, the middle one was taken when Mei entered high school, and the rightmost one…
Raiden Mei looked at herself in the photo and at a white-haired boy who looked about ten years old, then glanced at the conversation on her phone. Her smile widened, and she muttered to herself...
"I've found you, Luo Chen."
She then put down her phone, nodded, and said with a hint of exasperation, "Raiden Mei, you're really dense! You only remembered this a few days ago. And you used to be so..."
At this point, Raiden Mei blushed, covered her burning face with her hands, and sat there blankly. After a while, she peeked through her fingers at Luo Chen in the photo, who looked slightly disgusted, and smiled foolishly.
at the same time
Luo Chen, with his tail following him, walked towards a less crowded street and began to count the number of people.
"About fifteen? Nine Palaces is really ruthless, they really want to cripple me."
Luo Chen thought this, but the smile on his lips slowly grew more unrestrained, and his tone revealed an unspeakable malice of tax evasion.
"Do you really think a bunch of thugs can defeat me? They're really underestimating the training of an A-rank Valkyrie."
"Brother Okamura, why is that kid heading towards a less crowded area? Has he spotted us?"
About ten meters behind Luo Chen, a blond thug looked at Luo Chen, who was alone, and then looked at his boss.
"So what if we find out? Didn't you see that the kid was all alone? Besides, if we don't complete Miss's mission, we'll all be in deep trouble."
The man called Okamura by the blond-haired man glanced at him sideways, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Tell the brothers to surround that kid in the alley ahead, and hurry up."
"clear."
"That kid's gone into the alley. Let's go, hurry up."
Seeing the thugs behind him surrounding him in the alley, Luo Chen silently scanned the crowd, his eyes revealing no emotion.
"Kid, you've messed with the wrong person."
Seeing Luo Chen standing still without making a move, the blond-haired man assumed he was intimidated by his group and mocked, "Be more careful next time."
"Stop talking and get the job done."
Okamura noticed that the boy opposite him had no expression and sensed something was wrong, so he spoke up to remind the blond-haired guy.
"It's alright, brother. He's all alone. No matter what..."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Just as Huang Mao was speaking, a voice interrupted him, and he looked towards the alley entrance in confusion.
A white-haired girl stood at the entrance of the alley, her bright blue eyes looking inside.
The girl's gaze swept over everyone until she saw Luo Chen standing at the very back, at which point she gave a look of sudden realization.
So you were bullying someone!
Anger surged across the girl's face as she pointed at the crowd and indignantly said, "What kind of people bully one person like this?"
Then, looking at Luo Chen, she said, "Don't worry, young man inside, I, Kiana Kaslana, will definitely get you out!"
"I told you not to talk, and now look what's happened."
Okamura looked at Kiana with a furrowed brow and said to his underling, "Take care of them together."
Upon receiving the order, the henchmen beside her all pulled out the iron rods they carried and approached Kiana with menacing expressions.
Seeing the thugs approaching, Kiana instantly became alert, adopting Kaslana's gun-fu technique to prepare for battle.
Okamura, observing Kiana's demeanor, paid her no mind; after all, what trouble could a mere girl cause? He then focused his attention on dealing with Luo Chen. The other party's expressionless demeanor had puzzled Okamura, so he decided to concentrate entirely on defeating the seemingly frail boy.
"I was originally planning to play some role-playing games with you guys, but now that we have some distinguished guests, well..."
Just as Okamura turned around, he suddenly heard Luo Chen's voice and felt a gust of wind behind him. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was sent flying amidst his underling's exclamation.
"It's time for this farce to end."
After knocking Okamura away, Luo Chen flicked his right hand, glanced at the surrounding thugs, and finally looked at Kiana, who was staring at him in a daze, with a smile.
"Kiana Kaslana, right? Thanks for helping me, but I can handle these guys."
After saying that, Luo Chen pushed off the ground with his right foot and rushed towards the blond-haired man who had spoken earlier. To the man's astonishment, he grabbed him with one hand.
"Jiugong is truly as stupid as her name suggests. I originally thought she could learn to be smarter, but now I see..."
Luo Chen stared intently at the blond-haired man, his gray eyes filled with coldness, and he increased the pressure in his hand.
“Go back and tell her that if she tries to do that again, I wouldn’t mind sending her a full-service funeral.”
After speaking, Luo Chen glanced around, noticing the thugs around him watching him warily. He snorted coldly, then threw the blond-haired man in his hand at Okamura, who had just stood up. Amidst their screams, he moved again.
Seeing Luo Chen suddenly disappear from the spot, the thugs were stunned for a moment, and then they saw Luo Chen's figure appear behind one of them.
Luo Chen clenched his right fist and punched the thug straight in the waist. Seeing the thug fall forward, he moved again.
After witnessing Luo Chen instantly kill three people, the thugs panicked, dropped their sticks, and hurriedly turned around, completely ignoring Kiana who was still standing there, and fled in panic.
Just as Kiana noticed the thugs starting to run away and was about to catch them, several iron bars suddenly flew past her ear, knocking all the fleeing thugs to the ground.
As Kiana watched the stick hurtle past, her pupils constricted. She turned to look at Luo Chen and asked him loudly, "You can use Honkai energy?"
"Ah."
Looking at the thugs on the ground, Luo Chen nodded: "It's not a good place to talk, let's go somewhere else."
Looking at Kiana, who was eating and drinking heartily in front of him, and then glancing at his now-empty wallet, Luo Chen's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Why would I bring a paramecium to a cake shop?!
Even so, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile as he watched Kiana eat.
"You can tell me now."
Kiana finished the cake in front of her, placed the plate on a stack of plates, looked at Luo Chen, and asked a question.
"Kiana Kaslana, right?"
Luo Chen didn't answer Kiana's question, but instead said to himself, "One of the three great families of Destiny. But why would a young lady from the Kaslana family come to the Far East?"
Seeing Luo Chen casually mention destiny, Kiana became even more puzzled. She was about to ask him a question when Luo Chen cut her off.
"I know you want to ask me how I know these things, but my answer is no comment."
Luo Chen calmly looked at Kiana and continued, "Telling your secrets to someone you've just met is a very unwise thing to do. If Miss Kiana really wants to know..."
Luo Chen extended a hand, looked at Kiana, and continued, "Why don't we become friends first, Miss Kiana?"
Kiana wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist her curiosity and reluctantly shook hands with Luo Chen briefly.
"It's not because he's good-looking or because he treated me to food."
Kiana muttered to herself, thinking that Luo Chen hadn't heard her, but...
"Miss Kiana, being tsundere isn't fashionable anymore."
"Mind your own business! You're so annoying!"
Chapter 6 Falling from the Sky
This is the second time in Raiden Mei's life that she has experienced despair; the first time was when she was kidnapped as a child.
Overnight, she went from being the respected heiress of ME Company to the daughter of a fraudster. The huge change in her identity left the eighteen-year-old girl unable to react for a while.
His home was sealed off, and he couldn't go back. All he brought with him were his cell phone and three photos.
He sought help from his former friends, but was met only with indifference.
"Who are you? I don't know you."
"I'm not friends with the fraudster's daughter."
"Who knows what the fraudster's daughter might do if she came to our house?"
……
Raiden Mei had heard these words countless times in just over ten minutes, and the girl's heart was gradually consumed by despair.
Looking at the last person on her phone, Raiden Mei's hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Will he answer? What if he's like everyone else?..."
Countless worries and fears kept tearing at Raiden Mei's mental defenses. After struggling for a few minutes, the girl still chose to make the call.
Almost instantly, the call was answered, and a young man's gentle voice came through the phone.
"What's wrong, Raiden? Why are you calling me at this hour?"
At nine o'clock at night, the whole city had begun to come alive with its nightlife, but due to the light rain, the city lacked some of its lively atmosphere.
“Um,” Raiden Mei’s voice trembled, “I… my father’s company has run into some problems. I… I can’t go home now, and I don’t know where to go…”
There was only silence on the other end of the phone, and Raiden Mei's heart sank to the bottom. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, drifting into the air with the rain.
"Sorry, Mei, I just went to change my clothes. Where are you now? Tell me your location, hurry up."
The boy's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, completely unaware that he had even changed how he addressed the girl.
Upon hearing Luo Chen's answer, Raiden Mei finally broke down, tears streaming down her face as she squatted on the ground and sobbed.
