Ryu was stunned. However, that only lasted a moment before he was truly enraged.
It felt like this woman was toying with him simply because she could. His body was too weak, his reaction speed far too slow to even think about dodging her. She was already in the Dao Pedestal Realm and even Nuri had to be on top of her game to stop her from doing as she pleased, let alone him.
But that truly made him furious. On the one hand, he was relying on his adoptive sister to protect him, and on the other there was this woman who seemed to be able to steal and take from him as she pleased.
That was his first kiss. It wasn't something he gave a damn about before, he wasn't some love struck fool who felt the need to protect something like that. But there was something particularly rage-inducing about the fact it had just been taken from him without a word.
