Stop Running Away

While Rain was on full alert with weapons drawn, Veer was relaxed as he recognized that arrow. That style. It was a unique trait of one of the clans in his homeland, after all.

He sighed and thought, "What good timing you have."

Taking a step forward, he shouted, "Do you really wanna kill me that much?"

At his words, another arrow came toward him, silent as ever, and flew past him. He didn't even flinch, as he just continued to look in a particular direction. His eyes never wavered for once, even when the arrow was close to hitting his face.

There was a momentary silence, full of tension for Rain, who couldn't understand the situation. Did her boss know the attacker? Then why were they being attacked?

After a while, something—or someone—landed before Veer, having a sharp blade at his neck. However, even with that, Veer stayed firm on his position.

He smiled and said, "Good to see you're doing good."
