"Okay, it's your father's former junior, Uncle Masaki, who used to come to our house often when you were a child."

"..."

Hui froze as she changed her shoes.

Chapter 268 Concern

'Masaki-san! '

Hui felt a chill run down her spine, never expecting to hear this long-forgotten name.

What is he doing here?

"Hui, go and say hello to Uncle Masaki." Misa's voice startled Hui from her reverie.

"Ah, oh."

After changing into her indoor shoes, Hui slowly walked into the house. As she approached the hall, she could faintly hear conversations around her.

Without hesitation, Hui followed Meisha slowly into the living room.

"Hui's back." Cao Deng greeted her daughter warmly.

"Yes, I'm back."

"Come here, this is your Uncle Masaki." Soto began to introduce Masaki Zen to Kei.

Hui's gaze shifted and landed on Masaki Zen, who was standing to the side.

Seisaki Zen and Soto sat facing each other, with a small table between them. On the table were full wine glasses, opened bottles of wine, and some snacks to accompany the drinks.

Next to Seisaki Zen was a woman with a missing arm. Kei remembered that this woman seemed to be Seisaki Zen's assistant, named Seguro Yoma.

'Although I don't know what Seisaki Zen said to his father before, if the other party is smart, he should know what he should and shouldn't say.'

'However, just to be on the safe side, it's still best to give them a warning.'

The moment Masasaki Zen and Seguro Yoma's eyes met Kei's, a chill ran down their spines. Alarm bells rang in their minds, and an invisible intuition screamed at them: "Danger, danger, we're going to die, we're going to die..."

A heavy, invisible weight pressed down on their hearts. At the same time, their breathing became rapid, their pupils contracted, and their hair stood on end. If you looked closely, you could see that their shoulders and hands were trembling slightly, and their backs were already sweating. They instantly had the urge to run away.

However, he found that his body was completely out of his control and he couldn't move at all.

This is a survival instinct that humans have developed over millions of years: when faced with something absolutely invincible, remain motionless in order to find a glimmer of hope.

Fortunately, this state only lasts for the blink of an eye.

Hui withdrew her oppressive aura.

For a martial artist at the innate level, infusing their killing intent into their true qi to "pressure" a specific target is a very basic operation.

Intention is formless, but true energy carries it.

True Qi, as a form of energy, can inherently carry intangible intent.

"Hello, Uncle Masasaki."

Hui's polite voice brought Masaki Zen back to reality.

Who could believe that he had just narrowly escaped death?

From the moment Masaki Zenko appeared—no, it should be said that he became involuntarily nervous after hearing Hui say "I'm back" as she entered the room.

Hui left a deep impression on him; the bizarre ability to come back to life after death is still fresh in Masaki Zen's memory.

At the same time, Hui's ruthless decisiveness and indifference to life still chill him to this day.

once,

He kept thinking about why his senior's daughter had turned out this way, and why his senior had suddenly quit his job.

Previously, he didn't have enough authority and could only know limited information.

However, ever since I joined that special operations group directly under the cabinet, no, it seems to have been renamed the "Supernatural Operations Section" as an unofficial assistant.

Masaki Zen discovered that this identity granted him extremely high authority, almost reaching the level of the head of the Special Investigation Department.

It was only then that he successfully uncovered the truth behind the grass lamp incident.

I understand why Caodeng suddenly resigned.

Perhaps, that's when Hui gained her superpowers.

He also understood why Hui could be so indifferent to life. Indeed, it's inevitable that a teenage girl's values ​​would be affected by what she experienced.

During that month, he tossed and turned for a long time, remembering all the care his senior had given him. With the thought that he could not let his senior lose this daughter, Masaki Zen finally decided to go and see his senior.

First, to catch up with the seniors; second, to ascertain Hui's situation.

Of course, Yoma Seguro strongly opposed it.

But in the end, he couldn't resist Masaki Zen's insistence, so they came together.

During the conversation just now, Masaki Zen intentionally guided the conversation and also learned about Kei's situation from Soto. In his senior's eyes, his daughter was a very obedient, home-loving, and slightly temperamental girl.

Seeing the happy expression on his senior's face as he talked about his daughter, his worries finally subsided.

Seisaki Zen seemed to be infected by Soubi's happy expression, and had the illusion that 'Hui may have turned over a new leaf'.

Until just now,

Huiyi's appearance in front of him was a show of force.

This startled Masaki Zen: Kei was still as cold as ever.

However, after observing that her seniors were completely unaware, she felt relieved: Hui at least still cared about her family.

"Hui, it's been a long time."

Masaki Zen replied with a smile, indicating that he had recovered from the psychological trauma he had just experienced.

Masaki Zen looked at the girl in front of him, dressed in a high school girl's uniform, bowing slightly at a 45-degree angle. It was just a simple greeting, but Hui did it with great poise and elegance, like an ancient lady, which was very pleasing to the eye and made people feel happy.

just,

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and experienced it firsthand, who would know that this well-behaved, seemingly gentle high school girl would kill without the slightest hesitation?

"This is Ms. Seguro Yoma." Soto, completely oblivious to the earlier commotion, continued to introduce Seguro Yoma, who was standing next to Sesaki Zen, to Kei.

"Hello, Seguro-neechan." Kei continued with her polite greeting.

Seguro Yoma's face was somewhat pale, and she replied in a slightly unnatural voice, "Hello."

After Seguro finished answering, Kei seemed to have just noticed that Seguro Yoma's sleeve was empty, and asked with surprise and a bit of curiosity, "Seguro-neechan, your hand?"

'What's wrong with my hand? Don't you know?'

Seguro knew exactly what was going on, but having just received a warning from Kei, she naturally had to play along with Kei's "act".

However, before Seguro could answer, Soubi preemptively rebuked Kei: "Kei, how could you ask a guest such a question?"

He then turned to Seguro Yoma and apologized: "I'm sorry, my daughter is being unreasonable."

"fine."

"Hui, quickly apologize to your sister."

"I'm sorry, Seguro-neechan." Kei lowered her head and apologized, feeling wronged.

After apologizing, Hui left the living room, went back to her room to put down her schoolbag, and then went downstairs to take a shower.

Soaking in a comfortable bathtub.

However, from the moment she spoke until now, Hui had been listening intently to every word spoken in the living room.

Perhaps Hui's warning had an effect, or perhaps Masaki Zen had already obtained the information he wanted before Hui returned.

At this moment, the two people in the living room were simply chatting casually as friends.

After taking a shower and putting on a pink nightgown, Hui was about to leave the bathroom.

However, they ran into Seguro Yoma at the entrance of the washroom.

Since her family wasn't there, Hui didn't mince words and asked what was on her mind, very assertively, "Tell me, what do you want from my house?"

Seguro looked at Kei in front of him. A strand of her beautiful hair was still wet and casually draped behind her. Her delicate nose and cheeks were slightly flushed from the hot water. Her fair face was as white as snow and as clear as jade. Her skin was as white as jade and beautiful. Even when the girl threatened him so domineeringly, she did not have the slightest bit of authority. Instead, she seemed to be a proud and reproachful girl.

Of course, Seguro, who knew Kei's true nature, wouldn't think Kei was joking.

She explained, "Actually, we came with no ill intentions. You may not believe it, but Masaki Zen just came to check on you."

Chapter 269 Power

"Concerned about my situation? Ha! Do I look like a fool to you?"

"Uh..." Seguro didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Fine. I don't care what you're here for, but remember one thing: don't reveal my secrets. Otherwise, the consequences might be more serious than you can imagine."

Hui left those words behind and then walked out of the bathroom in her slippers.

All that was left was a headache-ridden Seguro.

'That wretched brat!' Seguro cursed inwardly, 'Don't underestimate adults!'

However, Seguro only dared to say it in her heart; she dared not provoke Kei openly.

However, the fragrance emanating from Hui as she passed by made Seguro's face darken even more. She had to admit that this brat smelled good, at least better than her.

Seguro felt that Amaterasu was blind; that brat had such a black heart, yet he was as beautiful as a fairy.

Emerging from the restroom, Seguro returned to the living room. Watching Kusaburo and Prosecutor Sesaki exchanging words, he thought to himself, "Hey, your daughter's gone astray, all the way to Antarctica. What good are you as a father anyway?"

······

As soon as Hui entered the room, she immediately circulated her internal energy. Her hair, which had been wet just moments before, evaporated at a visible speed, becoming dry.

'Using inner energy to blow-dry your hair is so convenient!'

After her hair dried, Hui slumped onto the comfortable bed.

At this moment, Misa was preparing a sumptuous dinner in the kitchen on the first floor, while Soto and Seisaki Zen were drinking small glasses of wine in the living room.

Hui glanced at the heavy rain outside, suddenly remembered something, picked up her phone, opened the Line app, and sent a message to Kouta.
