Chapter 384
Luo En withdrew his gaze, turned, and leaned against the railing as he looked up at the sky.
The night sky seemed within arm's reach.
The warm evening breeze stirred strands of his silver hair; Luo En involuntarily squinted, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"The wind blowing like this is truly comfortable…"
…………
Z City's Uninhabited Zone.
Inside an apartment in a building, lights were on.
Saitama and Genos sat facing each other, eating dinner.
"So, it was Teacher Saitama who defeated that purple guy?"
"You could say that."
"Wow, so amazing!"
Genos stared in awe: "To defeat such a powerful opponent—no wonder you're Teacher Saitama! You're truly the strongest!!"
"You're exaggerating too much."
Saitama scratched his cheek: "It had already fought Luo En before—probably exhausted."
………………
A villa in Z City.
"... That's roughly what happened, Tsurube. That person named Luo En is extremely dangerous—you'd better avoid him from now on."
Tornado, clad in a black long robe, sat on the sofa with arms crossed, gazing seriously at Tsurube.
Tsurube, having just heard from Tornado about today's events, stared blankly.
Luo En fought the mastermind behind the A City attack, lost, took his sister to another dimension, then his body exploded, reformed, and turned into a silver-haired teenager?!
What the hell is going on?!
Tornado, saying she was thirsty, picked up a cup on the coffee table and drank some tea.
Tsurube snapped back to reality and stared at her with heavy skepticism: "Sister, are you serious?"
Tornado choked on the tea.
"Cough, cough."
She turned to Tsurube, furious: "What did you say? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"Because what you said is just too bizarre—it's hard to believe."
"Huh?!"
Tornado's eyebrows shot up; she stood, hands on hips, looking up at Tsurube, who towered over her: "Where's the strangeness?"
"Everything is strange! How can a body explode? That's impossible!"
Tsurube refused to back down.
After several seconds of staring at each other,
Tornado narrowed her eyes at Tsurube and said:
"Fine, I understand. Since you don't believe me, I'll show you proof you can't deny."
She extended her hand toward Tsurube: "Give it to me."
Tsurube frowned: "What?"
Tornado snapped: "Your phone! You have his contact, right? I'll call him over so you can see him face to face."
35, Luo En: Want to know my secret?
Inside Tsurube's villa.
Tsurube stared blankly at the silver-haired teenager standing before her.
"You—you're Luo En? You're kidding…"
"Doesn't it look like it?"
Luo En pointed to his silver hair and eyes: "Apart from the hair color and these eyes, everything else should be mostly unchanged, right?"
"It's changed a lot!! You're practically a different person!!"
Tsurube screamed silently in her mind.
"Hmph hmph hmph"
Tornado stood beside them, arms crossed, smugly watching Tsurube's stunned expression: "Didn't I tell you?"
Hearing her, Tsurube slowly came back to herself.
She stepped back from the silver-haired youth before her, eyes wary: "No, even though you do resemble Luo En, I still can't believe you're the real him—you might be in cahoots with my sister to trick me…"
Tornado froze.
"Huh?! Why would I team up with someone to trick you? That makes no sense!"
"Well…"
Tsurube couldn't think of a rebuttal right away.
She looked at the silver-haired youth—tall, about her height—and couldn't reconcile him with the black-clad man who towered over her even when she wore heels.
Though their faces were indeed similar, their age, build, and aura were completely different.
"I get it."
Both Tornado and Tsurube turned to Luo En.
Luo En sat back on the sofa, holding a teacup, sipping tea calmly.
"Since you don't believe I'm the real Luo En, that means I don't have to repay you the 230,000 I owe you, right?"
Tsurube froze, then widened her eyes, staring at him in utter disbelief.
"Are you really…?"
Luo En lifted his gaze to the tornado beside her.
"You called me here just for this?"
"That's right. She doesn't believe what I said, so I had to bring you here to ask you face to face, didn't I?"
The tornado said it as if it were obvious.
"I see. That's truly a pity."
Luo En stood up and walked to the tornado's side. "I thought you called me for something else."
The tornado frowned in confusion. "Something else? What else?"
Luo En leaned down, gazing into her eyes with a smile. "For example, discussing the origin of life… and such."
The tornado froze for a moment upon hearing Luo En's words.
Fubuki stared blankly at the two before her.
Huh? Ehh?!
Discussing… the origin… of life…
Ehhhh?!
Has that sister already climbed up to this level of my lord?!
You're kidding, right?!
What on earth is going on?!
"The origin… of life…"
The tornado stared at Luo En's close face and those alluring, strange eyes fixed upon her—suddenly understanding the implication of his words. A scene flashed into her mind, and her delicate face flushed crimson in an instant.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid! What are you suddenly saying?!"
Luo En leaned closer, grinning. "Your face is already red, and yet you say that—you're definitely tsundere, aren't you?"
Anger. jpg.
The tornado, her face burning red, flew into a rage.
"Die!"
Her green curls and black long robe stirred without wind as her ability erupted.
A powerful repulsive force burst from her body, surging toward Luo En to shove him away.
In the instant before the repulsive force reached him, Luo En's lips curled slightly as he spoke:
"Stop."
As he uttered those words.
