Chapter 52 - Confession (1/2)

A man wearing silver wolf mask was holding a handgun in his hands, a bit of smoke came out of its opening after he had taken a shot.

His face was impassive as he glanced at the men below who was finding the culprit who shot their leader dead.

Two silhouettes landed on the ground gracefully like immortals. One was a middle aged man with aggressive appearance, his face was full of anger as he glared at the men in front of him. The other one was a man with long silver hair, his expression was indiscernible because of the silver wolf mask covering half his face, but Demetrio who was beside him felt the surging amount of origin essense leaking out of Wolf King's body.

”Leave non alive.” He casually said, and the moment the words left his mouth, Demetrio disappeared from his location.

”Slash!”

”Slash!”

”Slash!”

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Several slashing sounds and gunshots can be heard, but Wolf King ignored what was happening behind him and walked towards the Sima siblings.

He saw the scared look of Sima Ying which made his heart broken. And he truly wished to hug her and pat her back before saying 'Don't worry, I am already here.' , but no words came out of his mouth and he just smiled at her while patting her head.

Sima Ying's tears started dropping again as she glanced straight at his silver eyes. She suddenly hugged Wolf King and sobbed like a little girl, wetting the latter's chest with her tears.

Wolf King's face froze for a moment and he didn't know what do. He then heard a warm and sweet voice whispering on his ears. ”I know it's you.”

Wolf King's eyes went wide for a moment, and his heartbeat quickened considerably. He sighed lightly and he could no longer hold back his feelings. He hugged the fragile woman tightly in his embrace and patted her back softly.

”I'm sorry I have come late. I.. I...” Cale's voice was full of self blame, but Sima Ying placed her finger on his lips and looked at him with affection.

”Thank you for being here. Thank you...” Sima Ying's face was still full of tears, but a sweet smile can now be seen on her cherry red lips.

Wolf King's silver eyes watered a bit after seeing her beautiful smile. He then wiped the tears from her face with his thumbs softly like he was caressing the most brittle of jades.

”Xia Qi- Sima Ying... I...” Sima Ying smiled and hugged the man who was still reproaching himself making him swallow the words he was about to say.
