The ordinary world is not what it seems.
Many strange events unfold in the background but go unnoticed by the masses or are covered up.
A supernatural world exists along with the natural world which can only be seen by those called Balancers.
Spirits and Evil Spirits exist along with Balancers who possess unique powers to see and fight them.
Among the many ordinary humans, a girl undergoes a lot of suffering and experiences a prophetic vision.
It grants her knowledge of the hidden world and of some future events.
The girl loses almost everything she has and then takes the steps needed to become a Balance Breaker.
Her past identity has to be abandoned for the sake of survival so she renamed herself Ash.
Ash gains the powers of a Skin-Walker and begins living in such a world taking on the appearances of others, experiencing their lives and living under the mask of another person.

Breaker: From A Nobody To A Villainess

Max wondered if he would ever see her again, filled with regret.

He still did not wish to give up so easily so he kept searching for any signs of them until he finally noticed that the group had been searching for Ash.

When he noticed that, he backed off a little and tried his best to avoid being found too.

If he was found by them after Ash had gotten away and was hiding then it would not be good if he was captured instead.

If Ash still wanted to protect him then it would be quite easy for the group to use him as bait to draw her out.

Since the group were searching for her then she must have gotten away or had been hidden away somewhere they could not easily find.

All that he could do was try to wait them out and remain hidden away from them until they went then he could attempt to find Ash after that if she was somewhere close by.
