Awakening

After stealing two cars, Lei Yin and his party of eight people quietly left Atlanta under the cover of night.

“Master, where do we want to go now?”

“To Boston, where the coastline is long there. I don’t believe I won’t find a ship leaving US. Initially, I thought we could wait until the situation calmed down a bit, but now it seems like we can’t, it’s too dangerous to stay here for too long.” Lei Yin answered while looking at the map.

Seeing Rei Li’s eyes somewhat lost their focus, Chang’an assured him, “Little Rei, we have already transferred our funds, and with our network, we can operate elsewhere. The one we gave up is just a part of our industry that happens to be the in US.”

Rei Li sighed and said: “I know, but we have put so much effort here, I am really unwilling to walk away just like that.”

Chang’an went silent, they indeed have spent a lot of time and effort here.

At this time the one driving the car suddenly said: “Boss, there’s a police inspection at the front intersection, do we continue?”

Rei Li said: “Master, we might as well go a different route. If those guys are coming toward us, it will be difficult for us to drive away if we are to be discovered here.”

Lei Yin thought for a moment and then said: “Fine, but we need to find a place to rest first. We will find a way tomorrow.”

Rei Li nodded and told the dark team members to quietly mix with the other cars and drive back in silence.

After nearly an hour of driving, they found an empty house where the homeowner seemed to be on a vacation. They decided to stay here for the night to rest their tired bodies.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Lei Yin said: “Come in.”

After the door was opened, Rei Li and Chang’an came in.

Although Lei Yin wore a middle-aged man skin-mask, Chang’an can still see a trace of fatigue in his eyes: “Your excellency, are you okay?”

After drinking the glass of water offered by Rei Li, Lei Yin put down the empty glass and said: “I am okay, just a bit tired. But in a case of emergency, this is nothing.”

After continuously eliminating his real appearance and add a new one from the five strong-willed dark group members’ memories, even Lei Yin’s vigorous spiritual power became somewhat strained.

If this was before, it was not a big deal to let their trusted group members to know his real identity. But now, they faced an opponent that is nearly impossible to defeat. In order to prevent those who were caught to revealing his identity, he felt that doing this is very necessary. And his new identity is his previous decade’s identity, Yan Yuxiao, who is Rei Li’s Master. This can also explain why Rei Li always call him Master.

After a while, Rei Li asked: “Master, do you think those guys know our hiding place?”

“The biggest possibility is there is a traitor. But when I eliminated their memories just now, I asked them some questions. I can confirm that none of them are traitors. The problem could be on your informer.”

Rei Li pounded the table hard, “This is so uncomfortable, we can do nothing but being chased by those guys.”

Chang’an somewhat worriedly said: Your excellency, I think those people are getting crazier. This time they even used helicopters as if they weren’t afraid it will bring attention from others.”

Lei Yin said: “I found it strange also. If they’re only after that information, they did not have to do this. Nevertheless, our first priority is to leave the US. Go get some rest, it is already late.”

“Your excellency, you need to rest early too, we’ll take our leave.” Chang’an and Rei Li stood up.

Lei Yin nodded his head.

After the two people left the room, Lei Yin sat on the bed, deep in thought.

“Miss Hase, the dinner is ready.” A voice came from outside a quiet room.

After the door was opened, Naoko said to the elegant woman: “Thank you, miss Sakurai.”

“You are too kind.” Sakurai Mion said with a smile.

In the living room, the two beautiful woman began to eat quietly.

After eating for a bit, Naoko put down her chopsticks and said to Sakurai Mion: “I have had enough, Miss Sakurai.”

Seeing that she only ate a half bowl of rice, Sakurai Mion said: “Miss Hase, you ate too little, please take care of your body. Otherwise, Mr. Gennai would be very worried.”

Hearing her man’s name, Naoko could not help but start to worry.

Since he sent her here in the care of Sakurai Mion a few days ago, he never appeared and never called. This familiar scenario made her think back to when he went missing two years ago.

These days, if it weren’t for Miss Sakurai’s company, she might begin to indulge in flights of fancy.

Seeing her expression, Sakurai Mion knew she was remembering the man. She put down her chopsticks to comfort her: “Miss Hase, please do not worry, Mr. Gennai will definitely come back safely.”

“Thank you, Miss Sakurai.” Remembering that he did not leave her with disturbing words this time, unlike the last time, she felt a little bit better.

He will definitely come back. Naoko slowly traced the ring on her finger.

Watching her spirit restored a bit, Sakurai Mion slightly calmed down.

After several days being together with her, Sakurai Mion can feel that this ‘sister-in-law’ is almost on the stage of blind love to that man. But on the other hand, she is so intelligent and considerate. After being together for so long, she never asked her any questions. Every day she would be very calm but slightly worried about that man. She had never seen a woman like her.

After a while, Naoko suddenly picked up her chopsticks and then said with a smile to Sakurai Mion: “You are right, I shouldn’t have let him worry about me. I know he’d come back.” With that, she continued to eat quietly.

Sakurai Mion smiled and picked up her chopsticks….
