Chapter 385

A flash of brilliant golden light swept through the golden vertical pupil of his left eye.

The next instant.

The repelling force Tornado had unleashed actually halted right before him, like a breeze brushing across his face.

As if his word had become law.

"!!"

Tornado's eyes went wide, her face a picture of disbelief.

Fubuki, who had taken all of this in, wore an equally stunned expression.

That power to control others through words again!

Just like last time!

This guy really is… him in person!

"Fine, I'll stop teasing you."

Luo En took a step back, withdrew from in front of Tornado, settled back onto the sofa, picked up the tea from the coffee table, and kept drinking.

Fubuki watched Luo En, her eyes full of doubt and confusion.

The black-haired Luo En from before had given off a feeling of mystery and power, calm and composed, like a dark shadow shrouded in fog—inspiring both a reverent desire to keep one's distance and a curious urge to draw closer.

But the silver-haired Luo En before her now felt strange and off, carrying an elusive, sinister air and a faint sense of danger…

What on earth could have happened to make a person change so drastically all at once?

Fubuki's pupils contracted sharply.

Could it be… that what Sister said is true!

Did he really die once?

"What was that ability you just used?"

Tornado's words broke Fubuki from her deep thoughts.

She raised her eyes to look.

Tornado stood in front of Luo En,

and the petite girl standing was nearly at eye level with Luo En, who was seated on the sofa.

Under her intense stare, Luo En unhurriedly took a sip of tea and said, "Secret."

Secret again!

Tornado ground her teeth.

She was the Hero Association's Rank 2 S-Class hero, the world's strongest esper 'Tornado of Terror'—who on earth would dare speak to her like that normally?!

Tornado was both angry and furious, but there was nothing she could do.

If she fought him now, the first thing to be destroyed would be this villa, Fubuki would also be in danger, and most importantly…

Tornado wasn't confident she could beat the guy in front of her.

"But if you want me to tell you, it's not out of the question."

The words Luo En suddenly spoke left both Tornado and Fubuki stunned.

The two women looked at him.

Luo En sat on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other, sipping tea leisurely, and said, "The place I'm staying now is too boring. Let me move in here and I'll tell you."

"My secret."

36, you're welcome anytime

"Eh?"

Fubuki blinked in surprise at his words.

"You mean, you're going to live here?"

Luo En smiled and said, "Is that not allowed?"

Before Fubuki could answer,

Tornado blurted out, "Of course it's not allowed!"

"Why would I let a dangerous guy with an unknown background like you move into my home!"

"Dangerous guy? That's rather rude. I seem to recall I even saved you, didn't I?"

Luo En looked at her with a half-smile.

"I never asked you to save me."

Tornado refused to back down: "Besides, didn't I help you too? That favor should be considered settled by now, right?"

"You call that helping? Seems like you didn't actually help with anything, did you?"

"What did you say!"

Watching the two of them about to lock horns and fight again at the slightest provocation, Fubuki hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Sister, calm down."

She glanced at Luo En, then took Tornado's hand and walked aside.

Tornado was a little annoyed: "Fubuki, what are you doing?"

"Sister."

Fubuki lowered her voice, "Don't you want to know the secret behind his ability?"

"I am a little curious, but he said he wants to move in…"

What Tornado was mainly uneasy about was still Fubuki's safety.

Fubuki said softly, "Sister, if what you said is true, and he is the Luo En-kun I know… then there probably shouldn't be any danger."

"Although he's very hard to read, I don't think he's a bad person."

Tornado recalled what had happened earlier in J City and not long ago in A City, and her gaze flicked to Luo En, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and watching TV.

Judging solely by his actions, he truly could not be counted as a bad person; he could even be called a hero — but only on the premise that his actions had no other ulterior motive…

"Still haven't decided? The chance to live together with a handsome guy like me is a once-in-a-lifetime offer."

Luo En's smiling voice rang in both women's ears.

"Handsome guy? Hmph, what a thick-skinned fellow."

Tornado couldn't help snorting.

Even if she admitted Luo En's looks in her heart, she would never show it on her lips.

This is called a tsundere.

She crossed her arms, looked at Fubuki in front of her, and said: "Anyway, I'm not home that often, so I'll leave this decision to you."

"Sister…"

Fubuki was stunned for a moment; after a brief flicker of hesitation in her eyes, she made her decision.

She walked up to Luo En, gazed at him seriously, and said:

"Any secret is fine, right?"

"Of course… not."

"…Eh?"

Looking at the somewhat stunned Fubuki before him, Luo En spread his hands and smiled at her: "After all, I'm not absolutely required to move in here. I just thought it would be more interesting. If you two are unwilling, I can move over to the Saitama side instead."

*Snap. *

Luo En flicked his fingers, winked at Fubuki, and smiled: "So… you can only ask one secret."

"Huh?!"

Tornado's brows shot up. "Then of course it's not—"

Before she could finish.

Fubuki raised her eyes, looked at Luo En with a serious expression, and said a single line.

"Luo En-kun, you… what exactly are you?"

As her words fell.

The villa fell silent for an instant.

Luo En was also a little surprised; he hadn't expected her to ask that.

He had thought she would ask about the secret of his ability.

Under the gaze of Tornado and Fubuki.

Luo En drained the tea in his cup, set the teacup on the table, then looked up at Fubuki standing before him and smiled: "That is indeed one of my secrets. Since you've asked, I'll tell you."
