Chapter 46
Bang bang bang…
The furious roars of the men outside mixed with the sound of kicking at the door.
"Damn bitch, wait till I get in—I'll make you pay!"
"This little chick is pretty damn fine. Big bro, can I have a turn with her?"
Karuizawa Kei was terrified out of her mind.
Having been bullied at school for years, she naturally had little courage.
In a panic, she grabbed her phone, intending to call the police.
But when she opened it, by some twist of fate, she flipped straight to Ye Yu's number.
Without hesitation, she dialed.
Ring ring ring…
At that moment, Ye Yu had just returned home from Ireena's place.
He had lain on the bed for less than twenty minutes and looked strangely at the incoming call.
It was already past 10 p.m.
Shouldn't she be asleep by now?
Feeling something was off, he answered the call while simultaneously sensing the gu insect he had placed on Karuizawa.
The moment the call connected, he heard Kei's voice trembling with tears.
"Ye Yu, come save me quickly—I'm really, really scared!"
Through the gu insect, Ye Yu immediately gained vision.
He saw a man holding a small knife kick the door open.
Seeing Kei—cuter in person than in any photo—the man's face lit up with wild joy.
"Holy shit, this little girl is way too beautiful. Wouldn't it be a waste to just hand her over to Boss Ryuuen to kill?"
At that moment, the other two men walked in. Looking at Kei on the verge of tears, greed flashed in their eyes…
"Let's help President Ryuuen question her first. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Haha, big bro, you're so right!"
Seeing the three men approaching, Kei's tears welled up in terror.
"D-Don't come closer! Stay away!!"
But her pitiful, trembling appearance only fueled their beastly desires even more.
"Even your own dad told us to do whatever we want. You still won't behave?!"
With twisted grins, they reached out toward her.
On the other end of the phone, Ye Yu remained completely calm.
Since he already considered Kei his woman, how could he not have left safeguards?
He spoke gently into the phone.
"Kei, don't worry. With me here, no one can hurt you. Close your eyes now—the next part might be a little bloody."
Hearing Ye Yu's voice, an infinite surge of courage suddenly welled up in Kei's heart.
The next second, she noticed a soybean-sized bug had appeared in front of her eyes at some point.
It faintly glowed green, looking like a firefly.
Remembering Ye Yu's words, she quickly shut her eyes.
The moment her eyes closed, the bug suddenly inflated like a balloon— expanding at incredible speed right in front of her.
In the blink of an eye, its body had grown to the height of the bedroom ceiling.
The men who had been so aggressive and eager just moments ago now had only one thing in their minds.
Terror!
"MONSTER!!!"
The man turned to flee.
But the bug's massive jaws suddenly opened at an impossible angle.
Chomp.
In one bite, it swallowed the 170cm+ man whole.
Blood sprayed everywhere in an instant.
The two companions behind him stared with wide eyes.
Overwhelming fear engulfed their hearts.
In that moment, mission or no mission— they only had one thought.
Run. Run now…
But the gu insect Ye Yu left on Kei was Level 2.
Against ordinary humans, it was absolute overkill.
To it, the two fleeing men moved in slow motion.
In an instant, its gigantic form vanished from Kei's bedroom.
Then came the men's agonized screams from outside the door.
Mixed in were the sickening sounds of bones crunching and being chewed.
Kei couldn't stop shaking.
But she remembered Ye Yu's words and kept her eyes tightly shut, too afraid to open them.
After about a few minutes, the screams outside finally stopped.
Kei felt herself enter a warm embrace.
Her body trembled. Then she heard that familiar, gentle voice.
"It's okay, Kei. It's all over now. You can open your eyes."
Hearing Ye Yu, Kei quickly opened her eyes and looked up.
Sure enough, she saw Ye Yu's handsome face smiling warmly at her.
All the fear on Kei's face vanished in an instant. Overjoyed, she stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Ye Yu's neck, and pressed her lips to his.
Feeling her initiative, Ye Yu naturally responded with the most passionate kiss…
Just as the two lost themselves in the kiss,
a few uninvited guests had also appeared at Kushida Kikyo's house.
"We're not bad people. We just need to take Miss Kushida somewhere. Rest assured—we will absolutely guarantee her safety."
A man in a suit looked at the middle-aged couple in front of him with a gentle expression.
The two were none other than Kushida Kikyo's father and mother.
At this moment, they looked at the three burly men behind the suited man with fear.
Their voices trembled as they spoke.
"S-Sir, it's really too late tonight. How about tomorrow? Tomorrow my daughter will personally come visit you. Could you please leave for now?"
The man's face immediately darkened.
"Are you giving me attitude? Search the house. If you can't find her, beat them until they're half dead!"
The three burly men immediately moved to force their way in.
The couple tried to stop them, but their legs wouldn't move.
At that moment, Kushida Kikyo's voice came from inside.
"Are you looking for me?"
The group was stunned. Then they saw a sweet-looking girl walk out.
The man looked at her with appreciation, then waved his hand.
"Look at that—your daughter has more guts than you two! Come with us. We just need to ask you some questions. We'll send you back afterward."
Her parents still wanted to say something, but Kikyo interrupted them.
"It's fine. I'll go with them."
With a smile on her face—as if she were just going out shopping— she walked out the door and very cooperatively got into their car.
"Can you tell me where you're taking me?"
The man smiled and shook his head.
"You'll know when we get there."
Hearing this, Kikyo said no more. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to rest.
The others in the car admired her courage.
But none of them noticed that tiny insects had already quietly crawled onto their bodies.
The moment she heard their words from upstairs, she already knew who sent these men.
But with her power to control others, she wasn't panicked at all.
Instead, a thought emerged in her mind: to help Ye Yu resolve this trouble.
As long as I show my value, Lord Ye Yu will value me even more, right?
She was now extremely afraid of losing the power Ye Yu had given her.
The ability to manipulate life and death was simply too intoxicating.
