Chapter 14: The Fall of Masato Oono

"Hmph, I knew that Masato was no good! But my sister just wouldn't listen. If you hadn't chased after her, she would've been in serious trouble!"

After hearing Blake's explanation, Airi felt a surge of anger rise within her, burning brightly. She vented her frustration aloud.

Though she appeared to be chastising Marina, Airi's words were filled with genuine concern and respect for her sister. From the moment Marina accepted Masato 's confession, Airi had been dissatisfied. She could tell what kind of person Masato was.

Back then, Marina hadn't even spoken much with Masato. However, when he confessed to her, Marina, being her gentle and timid self, didn't know how to refuse. Fearing she might hurt his feelings, she reluctantly agreed.

"Now that they've broken up, there's no point being angry about him anymore. Don't let it affect you. The most important thing right now is to comfort Marina. I'm worried she might overthink things."

Blake's voice was gentle as he tried to calm the fiery Airi.

"You're right."

Hearing this, Airi furrowed her delicate brows, exhaled a sigh, and finally returned to her usual calm demeanor.

"So, how should I reward you?"

A mischievous glint appeared in Airi's eyes as she felt the heat emanating from the reaction beneath her. She gave Blake a sultry look, her lips curving into a playful smile.

"Well, I think…"

Blake's blue eyes lit up. Leaning in, he whispered something in Airi's ear.

"Hmph, men are all the same! But… since you saved my sister today, I'll allow it."

Though Airi's cheeks flushed a bright red at Blake's words, she didn't refuse his request. Instead, she turned her head away in feigned defiance, her tone filled with mock indignation.

Blake couldn't help but laugh. Truly, having Airi as his girlfriend was the greatest blessing.

Meanwhile, in Marina's room, faint sounds from the living room reached her ears. She mumbled sleepily, her violet eyes fluttering open as she wandered toward the source of the noise.

When she saw the scene unfolding in the living room, her eyes widened in shock. Covering her mouth, her face turned as red as an apple. She quickly retreated back to her room and dove under her blanket.

"Why… why am I jealous of my own sister?"

Her whispered words hung in the air as the room returned to silence, save for the faint ticking of a clock.

Elsewhere, on an unfamiliar street, Masato Oono shuffled along with an unsteady gait. His head hung low, his face dark and sinister as he plotted revenge in his mind.

Seeing his menacing expression, passersby hurried to make way, afraid of provoking the clearly unstable man.

"Get out of my way!"

At this moment, a panicked voice, accompanied by the sound of a speeding truck, rang out, and pedestrians quickly scattered in all directions.

Masato was also startled awake, immediately raising his head to reveal an expression of panic. What entered his vision was a blue-and-white truck speeding toward him!

Bang—!

Creak—!

Before Masato could react, the seemingly out-of-control truck crashed into him, sending him flying. It finally came to a stop after crashing into a nearby store, causing a crowd to scream in shock.

After flipping through the air several times, Masato hit the ground hard. Blood poured from his body like a stream, staining the gray-white concrete beneath him.

"Why... did this happen...?"

Feeling the intense pain throughout his body—more excruciating than any pain he'd ever experienced—Masato's consciousness began to fade. He mumbled these words with resentment and regret before finally losing consciousness.

Soon after, a kind passerby called for an ambulance, and Masato was rushed to the hospital. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he could not be saved and died.

...

As for the fact that Masato had passed away, Blake was unaware, because after being well attended to by Airi, he was finally satisfied and prepared to return home to sleep.

"He's such a beast."

Looking at Blake's back, Airi muttered helplessly to herself before dragging her tired body toward the bathroom.

Blake's strength was so overwhelming that Airi felt she couldn't keep up with him. Who says that only tired oxen can't plow the field? Airi thought she might punch his face to make it swollen.

After cleaning herself in the bath and relaxing in the tub, Airi suddenly noticed a figure appear at the bathroom door, opening it.

To her surprise, her sister, Marina, entered, wearing only a pink bath towel, her face flushed with an unusual redness.
