Chapter 449 - CUTE AND COMICAL (1/2)

Akira looked at the man with some apprehension. The taciturn look in his eyes betrayed the fact that he was serious about killing her if her answer was wrong. However, she did not intend to go down quietly or easily. Not after making the long journey.

She lifted the sword in her hand in defence even though it would probably not get her the best outcome in her current condition. She was tired, hungry and weighed down by her bag. Her speed would probably not be good enough to deal with bullets.  ​​

However, she stood firm.

”Who are you?” She asked.

The handsome man released the safety from his gun without hesitation. The chilly look in his eyes became even more intense when he heard her responding to his question in Japanese. Either he did not understand, or he was not taking kindly to the question about his identity.

Her bet was on the latter.

”I will not give you another chance. Who are you, and what are you doing here?” The cold voice was chilling.

The two of them faced off for another long moment before a third person walked up to them, seemingly from nowhere. This person looked groggy and unwilling to open their eyes due to sleepiness, despite their mysterious appearance at the scene without being detected.

However, that was not the most interesting thing.

Akira realised that the third person was a short woman in a black bear onesie. The woman removed one bear paw and rubbed her eyes with her bȧrė hand. She looked closer at Akira and tilted her head in confusion.

”Who is she?” She asked the handsome man.

The man looked at the bear, and his eyes softened a little, the ice melting. If he was not holding a gun and there was no intruder, he would rub her head lovingly.

”Why did you wake up? I told you I would take care of it.” Zhong Feng said with a slight, almost imperceptible smile.

”The bed was too cold without you.” Hu Lei said with a pout.

She looked back at Akira and ȧssessed her. The young woman holding a sword defensively and looking at them suspiciously was not familiar to her. If they had met, she would remember her. Even though she looked tired, she had bright eyes that became seared in one's heart after a single glance. Hu Lei like the tenacious spirit shining in them.

However, she could not allow weapons to be wielded by strangers in her home.

Akira did not see the small woman across from her make her quick move, despite the protruding belly and the silly, restrictive attire. Akira tried to retreat and retaliate against a possible attack. However, her hand was caught in a soft but immovable grip.

Before she could do anything, the sword was in the hands of the costumed bear. The image was a little comical. The short woman had a round stomach like a fat bear who had overeaten, so the sword did not make her menacing.

Instead, she looked a little cute.
