"Let go of Senpai right now! Alex! This has nothing to do with you!"
Masafumi Kase, the official boyfriend, saw his girl who had been utterly repulsed by him instantly drop her guard, shed all caution, and even show a look of relief as she leaped into Alex's arms. Masafumi's eyes were burning red with fury.
"That punk... Why can he touch her? This is insane!"
"Who the hell is he? Damn it, take him out now!"
"I've got this! And this bastard brought another beautiful girl with him. Heh, perfect... another piece of meat for us!"
Rin had been coolly observing everything from behind Alex, watching Sakura Senpai twist and rub her supple body against him, and noting the gloomy, perverted men surrounding them, especially the lewd, degenerate gazes fixed on her.
Rin's face grew colder.
Many of them were old men with wrinkled faces and thinning hair. They lacked the usual peacefulness of elders, replaced only by endless lewdness and malice.
Being stared at by so many disgusting, depraved eyes made Rin feel nervous.
She understood exactly what Sakura Senpai had been through... and it was her own boyfriend who orchestrated it? Rin stared coldly at the shouting Masafumi Kase with utter disgust and contempt.
A quick glance from the corner of her eye, and her pupils constricted.
"Alex, watch out!"
Seeing an old man lunging with an iron bar, swinging viciously towards Alex's head, Rin screamed his name in panic. Her body instinctively leaned forward, arms outstretched to shield Alex.
Just as the fierce iron bar was about to strike her head, a hand reached from behind and seized it.
"What?!"
"Rin, just focus on protecting yourself. This thing is no threat to me," Alex said helplessly, smiling brightly at the girl so close to him, who had tried to shield him. "But still, thank you."
"..."
Rin pursed her lips, looking at him with complex emotions. She clutched her chest, feeling her heart pound wildly.
"I always respect my elders, but for degenerate scumbags like you, it's a different story." He snatched the iron bar and slammed it viciously onto the man's arm.
CRACK—
"AAAHHHH!!!!"
"My hand! My arm!!!"
"AAAHHHH————!!!!"
Seeing the old man rolling on the ground and screaming, Rin still felt unsatisfied. She raised her foot and stomped hard on his face several times. Her attack was heavy, instantly leaving his face a bloody mess.
However, this damage somehow made him look less repulsive than he did moments ago.
"Y-you..."
Masafumi Kase was terrified by Alex's brutal methods, his legs giving way as he collapsed to the floor. The surrounding old men gasped sharply. Who the hell is this kid? How can he be so savage at such a young age?
Sakura was still clinging to Alex, her body grinding against his, greedily inhaling his scent. This male energy felt like a powerful aphrodisiac, causing the Kendo Senpai to hug him tightly, refusing to let go.
Under the influence of the drug, the sensual, mature aura around the alluring Senpai intensified. She was like a ripe peach, ready to burst with juice at the slightest squeeze. Clinging to Alex and refusing to release him gave him a golden opportunity.
However... Alex wasn't focused on taking advantage of the situation.
He lifted his eyelids, subtly glancing towards the upstairs area.
HMMMM—
The power of Time rotated in his palm, spreading from Sakura's wrist throughout her body. The fiery desire began to dissipate under Alex's manipulation of Time.
Her eyes gradually regained clarity, and reason returned. However, the memories couldn't be erased: Sakura Senpai leaping into Alex's arms, pressing her full breasts against his chest, and shamelessly reaching inside his clothes.
This incredibly shameful and embarrassing behavior made Sakura feel as though she had been struck by lightning, leaving her rooted to the spot, overwhelmed by an unspeakable sense of shame.
But Alex's attention wasn't on her. He gently pushed Sakura away and casually surveyed the septuagenarian scumbags. "A gang operation, using a coffee shop as a front. Looks like this isn't their first time."
"A bunch of old fossils who should be in their graves, yet they still have the energy to play with women, huh... There's someone else upstairs. I'm going to check. Rin, you guard this spot." Alex handed her the iron bar.
"If anyone steps out of line, don't hesitate to strike."
"...You trust me that much?" Rin's tone was subtle.
"With my Silver Sigil mark, these guys can't threaten you," Alex said, good-naturedly messing up her hair. "I trust you completely."
Rin took the bar, blinked, and nodded.
What about me? What about me?
I'm the Kendo Captain, after all. Don't you have anything to say to me? Sakura had many things she wanted to say as she watched Alex walk up the stairs, but she didn't know how to start. She just stood there, her expression conflicted.
"Senpai..."
Hearing Masafumi Kase's trembling voice, Sakura's frustrated and shy expression instantly froze, turning cold. She looked directly at him, her voice icy. "Kase..."
Second Floor
Pushing the door open, Alex found numerous cameras and camcorders set up, along with all sorts of shameful and lewd devices, and various provocative clothing and lingerie.
It was an eye-opener for Alex, who couldn't help but sigh. It was a veritable den of vice.
When he saw a pale, twin-tailed girl with tear-streaked cheeks, whose hands and feet were bound in the corner of the room, he frowned and walked over.
Sensing someone approaching, the bound girl trembled, curling into the corner. Her terror and fear were genuine. More importantly, the girl was quite young—definitely not a high schooler.
She looked exactly like an elementary school student.
Upon getting closer, he saw several bruises and wounds on her body. Seeing Alex standing next to her, she kept trying to crawl further into the corner. "W-woah, don't, don't come closer..."
Alex's expression darkened.
Even though he considered himself far from a good person, he would never touch a child like this. Although a quick glance suggested she had just been abducted and hadn't been defiled by those old men yet, the bruises on her body were real.
Alex's gaze became increasingly hostile.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not with those pieces of trash," Alex said, helping her undo the restraints. "What's your name?"
"My—my name is Lila, Lila Okino." A glimmer of light appeared in the little girl's dim eyes. "Big brother, did you come to save me?"
"Something like that."
Lila Okino? Haven't I heard that name somewhere?
Thanks to his immense mental power, a single thought was enough to trace the name's origin. Alex's expression momentarily shattered, then quickly snapped back to normal, though the twitching in his cheek was unstoppable.
Lila Okino? Rondo?
HOLY SHIT!
All at once, an endless, lethal intent sprung forth from the bottom of his heart...
