Chapter 865: Let me go, you have to let me go!

"Bang!!!"

Accompanied by a dull, loud thud, Nigaki Yoshitaka was so startled that he opened his eyes wide. When he saw the scene before him clearly, his pupils shrank violently.

There, just five centimeters away from Nigaki Yoshitaka, a wooden stick as thick as an arm was held horizontally, with a palm firmly gripping the center of it.

"A, Akaso-sensei?" Kanri Ako looked at the man blocking the stick.

Nigaki Yoshitaka was stunned for a moment, but soon saw the look of resentment on Kanri Ako's face and couldn't help but retreat a few steps.

"A, Ako, what are you trying to do?!"

"You bastard, how much longer are you going to lie to me? Do you really think I'm an idiot?!"

Kanri Ako wished she could beat Nigaki Yoshitaka to death with the stick, but it was held tightly in Akaso Kaze's hand.

She used all her strength but couldn't pull it out, so she could only scream at the top of her lungs: "When my brother encountered the avalanche, you were clearly right beside him, why didn't you save him?!"

Facing Kanri Ako's questioning, Nigaki Yoshitaka's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "It seems you've already watched that videotape."

"That's right! I didn't go to save Natsuya at the time, but the avalanche was so dangerous, you couldn't expect me to risk my life to save him, could you?"

"You..."

"Besides, the law doesn't explicitly state that one must perform acts of chivalry, and not doing so is considered a crime, right?"

Nigaki Yoshitaka stopped mid-sentence, turned his head to Akaso Kaze and said, "Sir, although I don't know who you are, I owe you for intervening today, otherwise I would have been killed by this crazy woman."

"Shameless! You bastard!"

Seeing Nigaki Yoshitaka reveal his true nature, Kanri Ako's eyes turned red with anger. She let go of the stick and clenched her fists, smashing them toward him.

"Slap!"

However, before Kanri Ako could hit Nigaki Yoshitaka, Akaso Kaze reached out his left hand with lightning speed and grabbed her wrist.

"Let me go, you have to let me go! I want to kill this bastard! I want him to die."

By now, Kanri Ako had lost her mind with rage and, ignoring Akaso Kaze, began to punch and kick at him.

With Akaso Kaze's current defense, Kanri Ako's punches and kicks were like a tickle to him.

Akaso Kaze ignored Kanri Ako's struggle, turned his head to look at Nigaki Yoshitaka, and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "If you keep watching the show here, I'm going to let go."

"Ako, we're finished!"

Sensing the impatience in Akaso Kaze's tone, Nigaki Yoshitaka didn't dare to delay any longer. He threw a breakup line at Kanri Ako and left the place without looking back.

"Bastard! Nigaki Yoshitaka, you son of a bitch. Wuwuwu..."

Watching Nigaki Yoshitaka's gradually receding back, Kanri Ako slowly regained her calm and couldn't help but kneel in the snow, breaking down in tears.

"Here!"

Seeing this, Akaso Kaze shook his head helplessly, took out a handkerchief, and handed it to Kanri Ako.

Kanri Ako pushed Akaso Kaze's hand away and shouted angrily, "I don't want your handkerchief, you're in cahoots with that bastard!"

If it weren't for Akaso Kaze's interference, Kanri Ako could have taken advantage of Nigaki Yoshitaka's lack of guard just now and beaten him to death with the stick.

Looking directly into Kanri Ako's bloodshot eyes, Akaso Kaze sighed and said, "Do you really wish for me to stand by and watch someone die?"

Hearing this, the anger on Kanri Ako's face instantly froze.

The reason Kanri Ako hated Nigaki Yoshitaka so much was precisely because he had stood by and watched her brother die.

Now that Akaso Kaze had chosen to save a life, how could Kanri Ako blame him?

Should he have acted like Nigaki Yoshitaka, watching someone die with his own eyes? If he did that, how would he be any different from scum like Nigaki Yoshitaka?

Looking at Kanri Ako's dejected appearance, Akaso Kaze reached out and stroked her hair.

"Actually, you don't need to be too sad. Those who commit many injustices are bound to bring about their own destruction. That guy just now has done too many bad things and will be dead soon. There's no need for you to ruin the rest of your life for a dying man."

"Y-you said he's going to die? Who exactly are you?" Kanri Ako asked blankly.

"Me? I am an Onmyoji."

Akaso Kaze smiled. His smile was very warm, causing Kanri Ako's cold heart to begin to melt.

"I have another title, called the Bane of Evil. In front of me, evil people will all receive their retribution."

He had already recalled this incident.

For someone like Nigaki Yoshitaka, Akaso Kaze didn't mind casting a little magic.

In fact, he had already done so.

"Miss Ako, would you like to come with me to see that man's end?" Akaso Kaze said with a smile.

Kanri Ako nodded as if under a spell.

Akaso Kaze pulled Kanri Ako into his arms. The girl wanted to struggle, but hesitated and stopped.

Akaso Kaze's lips curled slightly, and holding her, he took a step forward, arriving at another part of the forest.
