"I'm Kun feng" She introduced herself after they had settled down
"what's your name?"
The boy shook his head with a sorrowful look on his face "can't remember" when he opened his eyes he suddenly couldn't remember anything, both his name, where he was from and how he got there, he didn't even have time to sit an recall anything cause he saw the wolves running towards him and he just began running too
"can't remember?" she looked at his head saw the open wound covered with dry blood "you must have hit your head somehow, does it hurt?"
He shook his head but his gritted teeth showed how much pain he felt when she pressed on the wound
"tsk tsk its such a pity you don't remember your name, well since you don't remember I'll give you a new name"
She held her chin and looked around concentratedly "um...you melt like ice when you're pressured and your hair is as white as snow too so..."
"'ll call you Frosty"
...
"Lu yao yin!" Zi yichen voice pulled her out from her thought
"huh?"
"you have been staring into thin air, what's wrong? do you know who that's is?" he was curious whether she knew who it was, from the very moment she saw that name she looked surprised and even a glint of elation had flashed past her eyes
"I...don't think so' it couldn't be the frosty in her mind right? if he was the one what would be his business with a girl like Lu yao yin.
Lu yao yin checked the dark alley again but she didn't find any trace of the man that was there.
"let's go before someone get here" They turned to leave but first she walked to the wall pierced by the dagger and gently removed it
it is the same...
The carving on wooden handle was the same that fella made on all his daggers, he always loved daggers and in his spare time he would carve some little symbols that represented his name on the handle of every dagger he bought. now that she saw this she was sure that he was the frosty that she knew but why was he coming here
She pocketed the dagger then went away with Zi yichen. Throughout the ride back home she didn't say anything else, she kept thinking of possible reason why Frosty would want to meet Lu yao yin, she checked the former Lu yao Yin's memory if there was any meeting between the two of them but there didn't seem to be any
could he had been able to tell that she was the one?
Zi yichen fingers tightened around the steering wheel, he felt like he could read everything that was going through Lu yao yin's mind, he knew she was thinking of Frosty and it made him annoyed just thinking of it. He knew he didn't have any right to interfere with her thoughts and also didn't want to scare her off, so no matter how angry he was he couldn't say anything.
"are you still going to the office?"
"yes" she answered absentmindedly
"are you sure? you don't look okay, maybe you should just go home and rest"
"no I'm fine, just a little tired that's all"
He wanted to keep talking to her to her her mind off everything she was thinking about but he couldn't find any topic, they kept quiet for the remaining hours of the drive till they got to her company.
"so you're handle mammoth studio right?" she asked as she stepped out of the car
"yeah"
"we'll talk after you've settled it"
"I'll call you"
she smiled and walked into the building.
****
BANG!!!!
the old wooden door burst open and flew off its hindges, it raised dust as it hit the ground
"where is that bastard?! come out!" A group of burly men walked into the house arrogantly, their bald leader roared ferociously while the rest moved to trash the funitures in the room
"what's all this about?" a serene voice sounded from the door way
"there you are, I thought you would cower and hide away" the bald leader said again
"who are you guys?" Si Lu te knew they had come for nothing good but he still played by the rules of the game and asked who they were
"We? we are loan sharks, your mother owes us a huge sum of money, and its times to pay back"
"i have no money, so go back" he said his piece and turned to leave
'Hey! where do you think you're going?!" the group of men ran forward and surrounded him.
"How dare a beggar like you walk out on us!...Hmph! if we weren't told not to touch you we would have beaten you into a pulp!"
"since you have no money, you're coming with us, you should be happy cause the Si family agreed to pay your debt and in return you would go and work for them as a slave, isn't that even increasing your status from a beggar to a slave"
"not interested"
"not interested?" the bald man held his stomach and laughed heartily " who's asking for your opinion?, we have been given the money and even a little extra just to bundle you over there so whether you like it or not you're coming with us"
He signalled to the other men "brothers round up this buffoon! if he resist give him a good beating, the Si family wouldn't mind if we break a few bones from_"
CRACK!!!
he hadn't even finished speaking when sounds of bone crushing emitted from the first man that ran forward, his body dropped to the ground slowly only then did they see Si Lu te outstretched fist and the hollow in the mans chest
The slim teenager had actually broken the burly mans ribs with just a fist!
Shock, unbelief and fright rampaged the men hearts, such phenomenon that didn't seem possible had happened before their very eyes.
"You_yo_you!" the arrogance and confidence that his eyes held were gone and replaced with deep fright.
"its better you leave while you still breath or I'll throw you out as a pile of cold bones" in their eyes a pair of black wings and long sharp claws dripping with blood was attached to Si Lu te's body, his voice was cold and carried the scent of death
"d...don...don't be ridiculous! you can't scare us away! the Si family sent is and we must complete our goals, so be obedient and just go with us" the burly summoned back his courage and roared furiously again, he knew if he left here empty handed them then the Si family would also not spare him.
"are you sure?" his body moved away from his spot and by the time they saw him his fingers were already wrapped around the leaders neck
"you can never succeed against the Si family, their influence is deeper than you think!'
"we'll see about that" he nonchalantly replied and his finger continued to tighten around the man neck
"if...if you kill me the...the Si family w_would never let you go! they send more after you!"
"I'll look forward to that" a little more and that mans neck would snap into two, the mans face was already blue from lack of oxygen
"Don't you want to see your mother!" He managed to yell this last statement hoping it would stop him from losing his head
Fair enough, Si Lu te grip loosened and the man fell to the ground, he coughed and gasped for breath while shifting away from him
"what do you mean by that?"
"I_I heard one of rue servants say that they had your mother"
"where is she?!" Si Lu te yelled and stomped towards the man
"I don't know! I only heard them say it, I...I didn't ask them where" he shivered ouf of fear, he feared that Si lu te would kill him out of anger
Si Lu te sighed exasperatedly, all of his plans were being crushed by the Si family and he couldn't do anything because they were holding his mother.
He had watched the live broadcast of DxD corp. celebration party, he could immediately tell with one glance that she was Kun feng. he planned that today would be the day he reunited with Kun feng and his sister but now he had no other choice but to postpone it for the mean time.
He knew that they could be lying to him but just so he could clear his mind, he would follow them to the Si family and if by any chance it is actually a lie...then he would put an end to them once and for all
