Clash

After the event, Yue immediately changed to her own clothes and looked after Ker. But just as she stepped into a slightly secluded turn, someone fiercely grabbed her arm.

"How are you alive!" It was Ashaina who actually blocked her. Her fingers were like steel digging into her flesh. Yue tried not to show it on her face but she was wincing in pain.

Yue exerted a huge amount of energy and fling Ashaina's hand away. The woman was thrown a few steps backward.

"I'm not sure what Ms. Lancer is talking about. Are you cursing me to die?" Yue scoffed and looked at the woman ridiculously.

"How dare you look down on me. You have no right" Ashaina was like a mad woman.

"Why? I don't remember doing anything to you" Yue was trying to lead Ashaina.

"You shouldn't have existed. No, you must be a ghost. There's no way that you're alive" Ashaina was scared and frantic at the same time.

Ashaina was informed that Moon jumped from the 27th floor, no one can survive that fall. Even if she didn't plan for her to die but ruining her is just the same. That was the first crime she ever committed. She didn't have a choice. She needed to destroy her before they discovered the truth. After that incident, she was haunted for several nights. She even had to undergo a therapy in secret just so she can move on. But when she saw Moon on stage, she almost broke down. She had to confirm, she had to know, how it is possible that she was still alive.

"What has my existence got anything to do with you?" Yue saw the opportunity to extract more information.

"Why did you have to come back? They shouldn't know. You need to disappear" It's like a demon possessed Ashaina and she tried to grab onto Yue once again.

Yue saw her intention and tried to evade. But she underestimated Ashaina's resolve. The woman insisted on catching her. They both fell on the floor. Unfortunately, Yue was trapped underneath and received the woman's blows.

Yue didn't know where Ashaina got her strength. It was also then she discovered how weak her body is.

When Yue thought she had no way of getting away, she felt the weight being lifted from her. She heard a heavy thud.

At first, she thought it was her brother who saved her, but the one she saw was actually Rei.

Obviously, the man didn't hold back when he threw Ashaina. The woman directly passed out upon hitting the wall.

"Let's get out of here" Rei helped Yue stood up.

"Thank you" Yue wasn't stingy with her gratitude. Several thoughts flashed through her mind. Maybe she needed to reevaluate her impression with Rei. He doesn't seem to be that dangerous in a bad way at least if it involves her.

"You're so weak" Rei couldn't help but comment on her constitution. She can even hear a bit of mocking. Yue squinted her eyes, really needed to reevaluate.

"Hmp, why do you care!" Yue stomped her foot. She felt bitter about that part.

"Of course I care for you silly" Rei was delighted to see Yue being comfortable around him.

"How come you're here?" Yue suddenly ask. Rei's timing was too timely.

"If I'm not you would be done for" Rei was smug.

"I know, but that does not answer my question" Yue puffed her cheeks.

"I was looking for you" Rei was so direct in his intention.

"Ohh, for what?" Yue unexpectedly blushed. Once she changed the way she thinks about Rei she found out he's pretty interesting and easy to get along with.

"I just wanted to see you. I was expecting to be your partner but in the last minute got called out. Don't you think you should compensate me?" Rei was really sulking about it. He almost wanted to run on rampage until he saw how beautiful Yue is. It's worth losing the chance to be her partner just to see her bearing such majesty.

"It's not my fault. You should ask your compensation from the one who took the outfit" as if Yue would fall for his trick.

"She already compensated me" Rei replied mysteriously.

"Ohh, I didn't expect that" Yue raised her brow. Is this guy serious?

"You wouldn't understand" Rei flashed a charming smile.

"Why is the daughter of the Lancer family attacking you?" Rei didn't forget to inquire about the earlier event.

"I actually don't know. She suddenly had gone crazy" Yue already prepared the answer for this question.

"Then she shouldn't have targeted you. I will make her regret hurting you" a trace of ruthlessness can be heard from Rei's statement.

"Thank you. But let me settle this matter myself. You've even thrown her pretty badly, what if she died?" she was worried Rei getting caught in a troublesome situation.

"Are you worried about me?" Rei didn't expect such reaction from Yue. There are actually some doubts in his mind. She seemed to be a bit different from the Yue he remembered.

Yue detected a bit of suspicion from Rei's voice. Yue almost slapped her head. Given how the predecessor broke down after her father's incident with Rei witnessing the whole matter, isn't the way she's acting now really too different? But what can she do, she didn't want to act all gloomy.

Yue didn't give him an answer but projected a sad and helpless face. She wasn't even acting. She suddenly didn't know how to face him.

Rei was shaken when he saw Yue's reaction. It was like that day, he can't let her drift away. He was about to grab her hands but he was blocked.

Blue eyes met black ones.
