Chapter 344 - Chauncey and Yang Part 9 (2/2)

”Hey Yang, I feel a bit better now. So I'm sure I'll be able to do the show tomorrow. Will you come?”

”You know I will.”

At those words it didn't take long for the brunette to fall asleep. How he recalls you by your name huh?

Chauncey paused for a moment before he took a deep breath, and said her name affectionately. ”Setsura.”

The second he said that, he could feel his whole face go even more red. Wah, this is too embarrassing after all. The way he is now, he still can't win against Akito. Or perhaps he's just waiting until his chances are completely gone.

It's futile to do anything, especially against someone like

When Chauncey left the room he found Yang waiting for him. Sensing the tense atmosphere he awkwardly looked away. ”I won't..take her from you.”

Yang suddenly grabbed hold of his collar - the look of hate in his eyes was something Chauncey could not get rid of. ”Yang, I won't..do anything, that's not why I came here. I won't try to take her away.”

”The fact that thought even crossed your mind makes you despicable.”

Chauncey glanced down at his feet.

”Yang, you have to...”

”Get over it? Ha, that's easy for you to say. Even though your a member of the mafia - you don't have people hunting you down every single day. Do you know how it felt? Running for my life everyday, in a foreign place? The only reason I settled in the Meiji era was because I had her. Because that girl and her family helped me out. If it weren't for them, I would have died a long time ago. I was strong yes and not a weakling. But, do you know how it felt being treated as a convict? As a bad guy? While I'm not the kindest person. Why did I have to go through all that?”

He clenched his fist when he hears those words. Setsura most likely doesn't understand the full reason of Yang's hate towards him. Would the girl look at him differently and treat him badly if she found out the truth?

He doesn't want her to know. Chauncey felt bad for Yang, but he wanted to keep it a secret. ”Don't tell her.”

Yang's gaze dimmed. ”I will tell her, and you won't be able to stop me either. I'm warning you. I don't know what your intentions towards her, but even if you fell for her. I will never let you get her. I can't risk it.”

”I won't do anything.”

”Aren't you Touma's little lapdog?” Yang mocked. ”Don't think I don't know what kind of dangerous things you've done for the sake of your master.”

At that comment Chauncey lost his composure and he grabbed hold of Yang's wrist.

Yang's lips curve to a smile. ”I wondered how long you were going to pretend to act all meek. It seems like you didn't intend to do so for long, this look suits you better.”
