[Tutorial] Angry Audrey

After the episode of that night, the days returned to the usual routine.

But the words of Xanxus still haunted her.

After Audrey finished guiding Dino, the night was already dark.Today Xanxus had to leave Gabrielone one step ahead of her because of something, so Audrey returned to Vengley alone tonight.

Passing through a small forest on the way, Audrey stopped when she heard the continuous sound of wind coming from inside, wondering how could someone stay in the forest at this time.At first, she thought it was her own illusion, it should be the movement of small animals, but the successive rumors made her confirm that her thinking was correct.So she glanced inside curiously.

The sound was not a natural wind sound, but more like the sound of being cut by some sharp object piercing the air.

She stood there for a while, and after hearing a gust of wind, there was no other movement, and the forest was as silent as death.The moonlight dyed the forest half empty and half full, and the only road seemed extremely deep and secluded.

Audrey thought for a while, walked into the forest through the bushes, and saw a young man standing with a sword in the forest, wearing a short sleeve, about twelve or thirteen years old.

It was really cold at night, and it seemed even colder in the woods.

There was no sound, even the breath seemed to be held, and there was no trace of life.

Audrey stood by the tree, immersed in such an environment for a moment.

The bright moonlight seeped down from the gap between the leaves and fell on the boy's head and sword, as if it had dyed his hair white.The boy's skin showed a sickly paleness. With the help of the moonlight, Audrey saw that the boy had bandages on his arms and his face was covered with bandages.

If you ignored those, Audrey thought he was an elf hiding in the forest.

The blade in his hand glowed with a quiet cold light.It was as if a gust of cold air was about to overflow from the blade, freezing everything around it.

The night wind blows and the leaves rustle.

The young man swung the sword in his hand, and then seemed to realize the shadow of a person reflected on the blade, looked back angrily, and shouted: "Who!?"

Audrey stood quietly under the shade of the tree, without taking a step forward.

"You...what's your name?" She paused, her voice soft as if she was afraid to frighten the elf in the forest.

The young man clenched his sword tightly, with a bad expression on his face, and pointed the tip of the sword at her.

"Huh? Why should I tell you?" He frowned and said, "Stealing to see me practicing sword...you must be called by someone to seek revenge!?"

As he said that, the boy looked Audrey up and down, seemed to lower his head and muttered a few words, then raised his head, showing a terrifying expression, and swung his sword fiercely.

"I don't care who the person who called you here is, you go and tell him, if you want revenge, come and fight me upright!"

The boy was carrying the moonlight on his back, and Audrey realized that his hair was not dyed white by the moonlight, but was born white.

"I just heard something going on here and came over to take a look." Audrey felt that the boy looked like a cat whose fur had been violated, so in order to relieve his nervousness, she waved her hand to indicate that she was not holding a weapon.

The boy stared at her suspiciously, and finally lowered his sword.

"There are still people passing by so late..." He tilted his head, obviously not believing Audrey's words.

"I also want to ask why a child stays in such a place so late and doesn't come home." Audrey raised the corners of her lips, showing interest in him.

However, as soon as the boy heard her words, he angrily stepped forward with his sword in hand.Unfortunately, due to the height difference, when he came to Audrey, he could only look up to her.

After realizing this question, the boy paused and took a few steps back.

"Ah? Who is a child!" He shouted unconvinced.

"You are so angry, you are a child." Audrey couldn't help laughing.

Seeing her suppressed smile, the boy was so angry that he wanted to stab her with a sword, then he seemed to realize something, his face turned red in an instant, he muttered a few words "You can't hit a woman" and retorted loudly: "No! If I become Sword Emperor's man!"

"Sword Emperor? You are talking about that Dole, I heard he is very strong." Seeing his reaction, Audrey couldn't help but find it cute, and burst out laughing, "In this era, you don't need swords and guns, you can rely on sword skills alone." It can convince people, even people like me who don't know swordsmanship are a little admired."

The boy snorted softly, seemed dissatisfied with her words, put away his sword and said, "Tch...what do women know..."

Audrey walked up to him immediately and rubbed his hair vigorously.

"You must be polite to adults. If you're so young, you can only bite a 'woman'. If you're good, don't learn... Which family are you from?"

The boy struggled to escape from her clutches, but the power gap was too great, and he upheld the principle of not hurting women, so the boy had no choice but to hold back his breath.

But that didn't stop him from glaring at her fiercely.

"My surname is Squalo." He gritted his teeth and said this sentence.

"Squalo...? Shark?" Audrey repeated that word, frowned in confusion, and spit out a foreign language.

"It's Squalo!" Seeing this, the boy repeated word for word.

Audrey nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Well, isn't it a shark?"

"Then you don't say the word 'shark' in English!" Squalo was obviously a little frustrated, his face turned red.

The boy's appearance was really interesting. Audrey smiled, nodded, and said, "Sorry, this is the first time I heard this surname, so I was a little surprised."

In fact, she had heard a lot of strange surnames, and a surname like "Shark" was actually considered common, but because she wanted to tease this boy who was about the same age as Dino, she deliberately showed surprise.

"The leading mafia family is still called 'Clams'..." Squalo twitched, trying to calm down and tell himself not to worry about the woman in front of him anymore.

He had a hunch that this woman was just teasing him.

"It just so happens that my surname is 'Clam'." Audrey dropped a bombshell without hesitation, "It's just that I just got this surname not long ago."

As she spoke, she withdrew her hand from rubbing his head.

The moonlight seemed brighter.The clouds around the moon are faintly showing light blue.

Squalo backed away from her, staring at her like a small animal wary of an enemy.

"Don't practice swords in this kind of place so late. Not only is this kind of place cold, but there are also many poisonous insects. A cold is still a trivial matter. If you are bitten by something strange, it will not be worth the loss." She said like an old mother. Persuade.

Just as Squalo was about to refute, who knew that his nose suddenly itched, and he sneezed involuntarily.

Blades of grass rustled.

As soon as the sneeze came out, he had nothing to say.

Audrey amused her when he saw him sluggishly after he sneezed, as if he didn't believe that he would catch a cold, but she couldn't keep teasing a little boy, because she always felt that she was bullying others and felt guilty.So she suppressed a smile and patted the boy on the back.

"Go back early, Shark." She said, turning her back, looking like she was about to leave.

Squalo stared at her silently, and suddenly called out: "Hey, you look familiar. The woman Pengo Lie and others talked about recently, could it be you? Your name is Audrey, right?"

Audrey stopped and looked back at him.

Under the moonlight, the boy's bare skin was almost transparent.

"I don't know what aspects of me are worthy of those people talking about." She was a little displeased, and her tone turned cold instantly.

The harmonious atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.The moon was covered by the slowly moving clouds, and the light in the woods gradually dimmed, followed by a sweet smell of green grass, but this smell did not make people relax, but became more depressing.

The chilly night wind was like a knife, cutting people painfully.

Squalo noticed the change in her breath, paused, and said bluntly: "How could the daughter of the ninth generation of Pengele not be noticed?"

"So it's because of the taboo name 'Nine Generations' Daughter'." Audrey didn't seem surprised at all, and blended into the woods without looking back after leaving this sentence.

Squalo watched her back gradually disappear into the darkness, but the oppressive atmosphere around her did not dissipate at all, and the ground was re-lit at this time bit by bit.He raised his head and narrowed his eyes. It turned out that the moon quietly pushed away the clouds, revealing half of his face.

He couldn't help but sneezed again.

"Damn it... Strange woman." As he said that, his nose could not help itching again, and he sneezed several times in succession.

When returning to Pengo Lie, Audrey saw a small figure standing in the moonlight from afar.

There were no other blades around, and the appearance of looking forward to something alone was very lonely.

That was her dear brother waiting for her return.Although Xanxus won't say that he misses her, his performance in action is basically the same.

Audrey raised the corners of her lips slightly, feeling very happy, but then she couldn't help feeling sad.

The words he cared about last time were still echoing in his mind, and the sense of guilt for concealing him was getting bigger and bigger.She felt that if she had been more emotional at the time, she might not have been able to resist telling him the whole story.

Audrey couldn't help but feel pity for her younger brother, and quickly walked over, hugging her younger brother to show that she was back.

As soon as she touched him, Audrey felt a slight chill. It seemed that he had been waiting outside for more than a while.

"Today is later than usual, that guy Dino has bothered you for a long time again?" Xanxus took her hand and asked while entering the room with her.

There are basically few servants in the place where the two live, and there are only a few bodyguards.But I heard that those bodyguards are the elites above, Jiudaimu specially sent to protect Xanxus and her safety.However, the servants who take care of their daily life are not ordinary servants. Those who can save their lives in the world of the mafia still have certain strengths.

But these bodyguards were only sent after the attack that night.

Audrey looked down at her younger brother and said, "No, that kid Dino worked hard. Today I just saw a... different kid. I was a little curious and went to talk to him, so I came back a bit late."

"You're not going to bring one back, are you?" Xanxus shook his head disapprovingly, "Dino is enough."

"No matter how many people I bring back, my goal is for you." Audrey sat down on the sofa with him, let go of his hand, and cut her long hair.

Xanxus ignored her words, silently picked up the fruit in the basket and took a bite.

After a moment of silence between the two, it was Audrey who broke the silence first.

"I'm not at ease. You are my younger brother. The more I understand this, the more worried I become." She paused, her tone involuntarily depressed.

It's rare for her to express all the worries in her heart. Normally, she would at most express her love for him clearly, so Xanxus was stunned for a long time when she heard her such straightforward words.

"The mafia is not a place like a small town. Even if you stand at the top in the future, as your sister, I still hope that you will be less exposed to those things. But that is not something I can completely control." She looked at the person beside her. Brother, there was a moment of fragility in the red eyes, "I think you said that to me with this mentality last time, so I want to be more straightforward."

She reached out and touched his face.

"Trust me, Xanxus. I will always love you. No matter what your decision is, I will respect your choice, but nothing I do will hinder your decision."

Xanxus stared at her for a long time, although he vaguely guessed something, through her performance, he was more sure that his guess was correct.

"...Well." He responded softly, but still chose not to ask too much.
