Chapter 9 - He hasn't found out her identity yet

"Would you mind playing with me?"

The moment Prime heard his gentle voice, she wanted to run as soon as possible. No one else knew how hard her heart is beating at this moment.

It feels like it's going to escape her chest.

How come that the esteemed and almighty president of the Special Abilty Union is here? No, it's okay if he's here, but it's not okay if he's talking to her!

What if he recognizes her? That would be the end of her precious life!

Five years ago, this man in front of her was the same person who stopped her from wreaking havoc at the entire city.

And, it only took him three moves to defeat her.

That time Prime was ready to sacrifice her own life just to kill Koan— the leader of the Oni. She was almost there if it isn't for the meddling of an outsider and she has to fake being unconscious just to save herself.

However, a part of her is still thankful to President Kai. She admits that a fear still lingers in her heart after finding out how strong he is, but his meddling totally awaken her from her blank state.

She calmed herself down. If she run away now then he will suspect her, and right now, he hasn't found out her identity yet.

"I love to play with you tonight but I have something urgent." She replied smoothly, only to earn a raise of an eyebrow from him.

"Is that an excuse just to hide away from me?"

Shoot! Why is he so sharp?! Did he read my mind?!

"Come on!" Prime laughed, "With that look of yours who would dare run away from it. Can't you tell that I'm purposely doing it so that I can see you again?"

With that said she roam her eyes around to look for an escape route in case President Kai decides to pummeled her head for blatantly flirting with him, but all she can see are the other people watching her as if she's really going to die tonight.

Yama also stared at her with a frozen expression.

'Sis Prime, how can you say that to President Kai? I would not be able to help you even if I have ten hands and feet!'

'Alright! I admit I dug my own grave!'

A shiver run down her spine when the man beside her suddenly chuckled.

The sound was nice to her ears and a little scary at that.

"Then will I see you next time? Rumors are spreading around that a woman in this table has not lost since she came in."

"Will I have the chance to play with you, Lady Luck?"

"Of course!" Prime answered, it seems the man ignored her flirting so she might as well take a mile when given an inches.

"How would I know you're not lying?"

She leaned a little towards him. "You might not know this but your face is exactly my type."

After saying her piece she gracefully stood up.

"Call me." She even added while her hand imitates a phone.

But her fantasy was immediately extinguish when Yama whispered beside her.

"Sis, you don't have a phone!"

Prime took a deep breath just to stop her hands from itching towards her 'bodyguard's neck.

She wanted to strangle him so badly!

She is sure as hell that President Kai heard his 'not so quiet' whisper when he grinned at them.

Who says that she's lady luck? She's probably so unlucky to have a teammate who always ruins the atmosphere!

To preserve her dignity, Prime waved at the man as if nothing embarrassing was said.

"See you again, President Kai." -- Or not!
