Chapter 51 - Lux Residency

"Well then, let's go." 

Kayden excitedly spoke like a little kid, which made Ayami wonder what he was excited about. The assistant took care of all the matters concerning the hospital bills.

As they went through the hospital corridor, Ayami felt like she was being watched again. They weren't even hiding their killing intent, so she was able to roughly pinpoint where they were.

"Sir." The assistant, who was introduced as Alfred by Kayden earlier, leaned closer to his boss and whispered something, which Ayami couldn't hear. Kayden let out a small chuckle after hearing what Alfred said to him. He whispered back to him.

For a boss and assistant, they are oddly close…

But Ayami had no time to think about it as the people watching her were a distraction for her. 

Swish!

"Huh?" Ayami was pulled by Kayden, making her lean onto him. From the outsider's viewpoint, it looked like she suddenly tripped. "Woah, are you alright?"

"Ah, yes, I'm fine." Ayami spoke, while deep inside she was thinking. What was that?

Ayami faintly saw an object that was flying to her, but suddenly it vanished into thin air. And the people watching her, they were gone.

"Excuse me, Sir, Miss, with our pace right now it would be night by the time we left this place. I suggest that Sir would carry the Miss so that we can go back home, fast." Alfred said, as usual, with a straight face.

"You're right." Kayden agreed to his suggestion. Ayami stuttered as she spoke. "H-huh? No, wait. It's embarrassing!"

She couldn't protest anymore as she covered her face and was already being carried by Kayden. As her face was covered, she didn't notice the exchange glance between the two.

Alfred nodded his head and carefully hid the throwing knife he caught earlier. Alfred went with them until they reached their car.

Alfred opened the door for them. Ayami sat down in the car, pouting like a grumpy child. While Kayden was amused by her expression.

"Then, I'll be staying here. Sir." Kayden nodded his head as he spoke with a smile on his face and a dangerous glint in his eyes. "I hope you'll take care of all of them."

"Yes, sir." After that, Alfred closed the door and watched as the car left. Then, he turned around and walked inside the hospital.

Meanwhile, Ayami was looking outside the window, the frown on her face never left, while Kayden didn't care much about it as he was thinking about some matters.

The driver in front kept glancing at the girl who was brought by the young master, wondering who she was. But of course, he was still careful when driving. He didn't want to lose head over some useless curiosity.

After a few minutes of doing nothing, Ayami started to get bored. She opened the car's window in order to get some fresh air. Then, she noticed a black car just beside them a distance away. It's window was slowly opening.

"Close the window." Kayden said hurriedly, looking behind anxiously. Seeing that Ayami was staying still, he had no choice but to pull Ayami towards him and duck, while also closing the window as fast as possible. 

Tang! Ayami heard a familiar sound hit the closing window. It was a bullet.

"Step on it." Kayden ordered the driver. The car sped up, expertly avoiding the cars in front of them. Behind them, two black cars were chasing after them.

Ting!

Ayami checked the phone and a new message was sent to her. "Good luck avoiding that. Hehehe~"

After she finished reading that, she immediately apologized to Kayden. "Sorry. I dragged you into this. Actually, I'm their target."

"It's fine, there's no need to be sorry. It's more fun this way." Kayden gently smiled at her. 

Eh? You're having fun in this situation??

Ayami was speechless. To think there was someone who enjoys situations like this.

Behind their car, the two black cars were speeding up, almost catching up to them. In a distance away, their pursuers started to bring out the guns and shoot them.

Tang!

Tang!

Tang!

It felt like it was raining bullets as Ayami continuously heard the bullets hitting the car. Thankfully, the car seems to be bulletproof. 

But that didn't they were completely safe. They could have shot their tires and they would lose control, unless the driver could do the impossible.

"Sir, Miss, please hold on tight." The driver drove even faster than before, while Kayden tried to ease her. "Don't worry, we're almost near."

A few meters away, they could see the entrance to their residence.

[Lux Residency]

They were a resident there so the guard was able to recognize their car and let them in. 

Thankfully, their pursuers weren't able to chase after them as they were stopped by the gatekeepers.
