Arora was petrified. The very last thing she had expected to happen was unfolding before her eyes. Her older brother, Arthur, now stood by her side with an arm wrapped around her shoulder as if they were best friends.
Arora quivered and her eyes were filled with terror and many other emotions. She could barely find the strength to even breathe.
"B-brother..." She stuttered.
Hurriedly, Shade rushed to her side with a swing of his blade, forcing Arthur to move away.
"Shade," he smirked. "Don't you know it's rude to intervene in the family matters of other people?"
"Shut up, you bastard. I won't let you touch Arora. Besides, I have business with you too."
"Oh? You do, huh? That's funny because I was thinking the same thing. You know it was quite a shame that you decided to betray Team Catastrophe and the ME Organization."
"I do whatever I want. But the last time I saw your annoying face, I didn't get a chance to ask you about my master. How do you know about him?"
