"Hey, why did you st--"
Appearing behind Kevin, Emma entered the living room, and just when she was about to speak, she stopped halfway through her sentence and gasped in shock.
Following Emma, Amanda entered the room, and similarly to Emma, she gasped in shock.
Three sets of eyes all focused on one individual.
Standing in the middle of the room, holding Jin by the throat, Ren's figure could be seen.
"Jin!"
Screaming, Emma took out her short swords and circulated her mana, following which a strong yellow hue started emanating from her body.
"Get away from J--"
Just when Emma was about to lunge at Ren, Amanda put her hand on her shoulder and stopped her
"Don't..."
"W-hat!?"
Angrily turning around, pointing towards Ren, Emma glared at Amanda and shouted
"You're just gonna stand here and let him do that to Jin! what is wrong with you!"
Shaking her head, Amanda looked at Ren with a complicated expression.
...Those eyes.
Those were the same eyes that he had when he killed Elijah.
Though she may come across as heartless in Emma's eyes, in reality, this was all for her sake.
She could still vividly remember those eyes...the same eyes that killed Elijah back in the after-party.
...If Emma fought against him, she stood no chance.
Glancing at Kevin from the side, Amanda thought
'Who is stronger...?'
-Thud!
Dropping Jin's body on the ground, Ren raised his hands and said
"...He's still alive"
Looking at Jin's passed out figure on the ground, warily glancing in Ren's direction, Kevin spoke
"What did you do to him?"
Looking back at Kevin, with his hands still in the air, Ren coldly said
"I merely did what needed to be done"
Frowning at Ren's words, Kevin looked at Ren in the eyes and said
"...and by that do you mean almost killing him?"
Shaking his head, Ren looked down at Jin.
"If I really wanted him dead, he'd already be dead"
Following Ren's cold words, the room became quiet. Not even a pin drop could be heard as Kevin and Ren stared at each other.
"Emma..."
Breaking the silence was Kevin's voice as he glanced at Emma who was behind him.
"Okay"
Understanding his motive, Emma put her shortswords back into her dimensional space and quickly moved to where Jin's body was.
Seeing Emma move, Kevin took out his sword and pointed it in Ren's direction. Without taking his eyes off of him, he said
"If you try anything funny...I won't hesitate to kill you"
Indifferently glancing at Kevin, Ren didn't respond and just looked at Emma who was slowly moving closer.
Arriving before Jin's body, Emma warily glanced in Ren's direction.
Looking back at Kevin, and after making sure Ren wasn't going to make any moves, she placed her finger on Jin's neck and measured his pulse.
After a couple of seconds, turning around, Emma sighed in relief and said
"He's still alive..."
Nodding his head, Kevin asked
"How's his condition?"
Glancing back at Jin, Emma carefully looked at his body before saying
"...Not so good, he's heavily injured and has exhausted all of his mana"
Frowning, Kevin looked at Jin's body before looking back at Ren
"Now, tell us why y-"
Booom—!
Cutting Kevin midsentence, just as the tension in the room was about to reach an all-time high, a loud explosion resounded across the room.
The whole place shook.
"Wh-at?"
Staggering a couple of steps, Kevin, Emma, and Amanda all turned their heads in the direction of where the sound came from.
-Step -Step -Step
Appearing from the other side of the door, holding a huge axe that was about the size of two people, a black-clad individual entered the room.
Turning towards Kevin, Emma and Amanda who were still alive but passed out on the ground, Ren said
"Thanks"
