It was roughly about five in the evening when Wang Xu got off work. After heading back to the security post and changing back into his casual clothes, he was now heading out of the Sanming Building. As soon as he made it to the entrance, he noticed someone was standing by the door, reading something on their phone.
Standing at the entrance was a bespectacled woman wearing a beige pants suit with little makeup on. She had her brown hair done up in a braid that reached just below her shoulders. Although her looks weren't the best from what he was used to seeing in the gaming studio, looking at her figure that topped off at about 165cm or so gave Wang Xu the impression that she possessed her own unique charm that she's used to hiding from others. That being said, these were just his own personal thoughts on the matter.
The reason that Wang Xu paid attention to this person was the fact that he remembered feeling this person's gaze earlier that d
Shirona Yui tried her best to maintain control over her emotions but her current expression gave her away. That said, she didn't allow her expression to get any further out of hand as she coughed a few times to regain her composure.Wang Xu stared at her blushing expression for a few moments, enjoying the interesting sights before him. This went on until Shirona Yui finally regained control over her emotions, prompting him to release a sigh over the short time he was able to enjoy the view.Following that, both sides descended in silence for a few minutes, each glancing at the other every once in a while, before the waiter returned with a trolly with their dinner on it. Both sides watched as the waiter filled the table with their respective orders.Just as the waiter was finished and was about to leave, Shirona Yui noticed a few extra dishes were placed on the table. She couldn't help but speak at this moment as she poin
With Shirona Yui now thoroughly terrified out of her mind, practically questioning her life choices up until this point, Wang Xu allowed his predatory-like stare to fade away, relieving the pressure that was weighing down on the clueless Department Head. With the removal of the pressure on her, Shirona Yui slowly awoke from that spiral of negative thoughts going on in her mind.After a few minutes of sobering up, she was now able to work up the courage to stare at the man sitting across from her. In her eyes, all she was was a simple man who was now emptying the remainder of the contents within the glass from earlier. In her mind, however, the image of a beast kept forming and dissipating as she stared at Wang Xu.Ignoring the current expression on her face, Wang Xu spoke up with a light tone in his voice, "Now that you have confirmed your thoughts, what plans do you have now, Department Head Shirona?"This was the secon
While waiting for the train to get to their destination and keeping a mental note on how to deal with those people that gazed at him with hostile intentions, Wang Xu decided to make some small talk with Shirona Yui to pass the time."Would you like to hear the answers to your earlier questions now, Department Head Shirona?" As Wang Xu spoke, he retrieved a pair of gloves from his pocket.Hearing his words prompted Shirona Yui to immediately look up from her phone and stare at Wang Xu. She was checking to see if he was being serious with his words or just messing with him.Not being able to sense any falsehood in his expression, she hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Are you sure? This isn't really the best place for us to have such a conversation, as I'm quite sure that you are aware, Security Guard Wang."Wang Xu just shrugged before placing the pair of gloves in her hands as he spoke up, "As
There was a solemn expression on Shirona Yui's face after the somewhat sudden appearance of the group standing before her. A simple glance was all it took for Wang Xu to realize that not only did she know this group, but there was also a bit of history between them as well.With this bit of information in mind, Wang Xu wisely chose to keep quiet and observe everyone present. Besides that, he was also scanning the area for possible escape routes for when the need arises.In a flat tone, Shirona Yui spoke up while addressing the woman now standing out from the group, "I don't think that we're close enough for me to take a stroll with you and your group. Now tell me, why should I be going with you, Miss Katsuji Natsume?"Before she could speak, one of the men in the group behind the recently identified 'Katsuji Natsume' stepped forward with a chuckle. This caused a slight frown to form on her face but she kept quiet as the
After leaving the area with the members of the Katsuji Clan that were bound, Wang Xu and Shirona Yui were currently walking through the quiet streets. The duo walked in silence for a few minutes, each with their own thoughts.It wasn't until five minutes later that Shirona Yui broke the silence, "Are you sure that it was alright to have left things the way that you did? Knowing Katsuji Natsume, not only will she be reporting this failure to her family's elders, she'll be sure to do a thorough background check on you before making her next move."Wang Xu listened in silence as Shirona Yui spoke, showing a calm expression on his face. After she was finished, the corner of his lips curved upward slightly before he spoke in a carefree tone, "As I told her, I was already involved the moment they decided to go after you in my presence. Even if I had refrained from doing anything and they did capture you, their next objective would have been to sil
The next morning, Department Head Shirona Yui woke up feeling refreshed. If she was being honest with herself, it has been quite a while since the last time she's had any fun like this.With that thought in mind, Shirona Yui turned over in bed, only to discover that the other side was empty. At first, she was a bit confused, wondering if the events of the previous day were just all her imagination. After carefully going over those memories and checking her current state of dress or lack thereof, this confusion morphed into a state of self-depreciation.'Sigh. It seems that I'm the only one that enjoyed last night if he's already gone before I even woke up.' There was a sad smile on Shirona Yui's face as she thought this as she touched the side of the bed that Wang Xu was on the night before, not feeling the slightest hint of warmth.Feeling disappointed, Shirona Yui grabbed the bedsheet and wrapped it around her body bef
Having dropped off his parcel and message to their intended target, Wang Xu was now walking the halls of the gaming studio with a laidback expression.He had just made good on his end of the deal with Department Head Shirona and now he was free to spend his lunch in a relaxed manner. That isn't to say that he found having lunch with her to be an issue, but that he wanted her to take some time to think about the events that took place on the previous night.While he wasn't a part of their conflict initially, his interference was bound to result in some backlash later on. For now, he wants her to focus on gaining some strength, no matter how little she can before the next incident takes place. That was the least Wang Xu could do for her after getting involved.After thinking up to that point, Wang Xu also remembered the events that transpired afterward, which caused him to release a few chuckles. That resulted in a few per
As soon as he regained consciousness, Kirou realized that he was now standing at the entrance to SC Pier City. Immediately after, he opened up his friends' list to check if everyone was online.Seeing that they were, Kirou sent each of them a simple message, following which, he closed the list and left SC Pier City's surroundings with extreme haste. As soon as he got far enough, he summoned out his Blood Shadow Wolf and mounted the beast before speeding off even faster towards his desired location.Along the way, Kirou went over all of the equipment currently in his possession, mainly the weapons he's crafted. Due to his busy schedule, he's still yet to craft another set of armor from the book of incomplete blueprints he was given.That being said, the basic armor that he was equipped with at the moment was more than enough to meet his current needs. Having said that, he did make note that his next objective was to craft
