Chapter 48 - 46: Protect-2

At one night, Ryouma Clan took down Karasuma Group and the leader, Karasuma Kuroo. There was a big casualty on both sides and the fight was later known as Scarlet Moon Eve.

Li Lian and the young man was immediately brought to the hospital. And as to why Ryouma Clan knew Karasuma Group and Akasaka Group was the one behind the kidnapping was all because of the Magnolia tattoo.

The tattoo of Ito Clan was never bright red in color, but instead white. Because of the importance of the tattoo, each Clan has never revealed the real color of their tattoo, and they could never show their Clan's tattoo to everyone- no they couldn't. The tattoo of each Clan could only be painted on their back and not everyone could have the Clan's tattoo that easily because only some people in the Clan could have the honor to bear the Clan's tattoo.

But Mr. Akasaka would never know this fact because his Group had never attended the Big Three's Clan's meeting that's held on Maple Household each year. In order to confuse everyone and to make sure no one would back-stab the other clans, they decided to send false rumor about their tattoo colors.

As soon as The Old Master and Kei heard the subordinate told the color of the Magnolia Flower is bright red- their plan shattered in a second.

What follows after that was threatening Mr. Akasaka and as soon as they receive Li Lian's location Kei didn't think twice and eliminate the whole group.

No one can deny how scary Kei was when he destroyed the Akasaka Group and Karasuma Group and everyone gave all the credits to him.

But no matter how much people praise him, Kei could only feel guilt and disappointment to himself, for not protecting Li Lian and made her lost her sight.

Although Li Lian's blindness was only temporary due to the harsh hit she received on her head, Kei still asked The Old Master, to punish him and was about to cut all the fingers on his left hand. The Old Master doesn't know how to persuade him to stop whatever " Punishment " he was about to do and decided to beat his stubborn head once, telling him that it wasn't his fault.

Especially when Li Lian was involved in the car crash, Kei immediately took his Katana and once again tried to punish himself by his life.

----

A melody resounded from Kei's phone, bringing him back from his reverie. He put down the picture frame and look at the caller's name before answering.

Kei, " Young master, what can I help you? "

Shun sat next to Shin who's driving the car and raises his leg to the car's deck. " Kei-Nii-Chan, we've done the old man's order and visit uncle Chuang, he said that the person behind the attack are they, as we thought. "

Kei narrowed his eyes, " The Hong Family..."

Shun frowned, " This is all because of that stupid and useless legend! "

Shin silently nodded, " I agree."

Kei sighs, "That legend had stayed for more than a thousand year, as our ancestors also believe that, the last thing we could do is to protect the young lady."

Shun expresses his agreement with a few nods, " That's true, anyway, we couldn't get the ticket to Japan, so you have to wait until tomorrow...Ugh! If I had known this earlier, I would at least eat Rian's home cooking!! "

Kei laughs, year had passed and things had changed, but now that the family had reunited everything return back to the past years that he lost. The childish laughs and their smile it was things that brought Kei from his darkness, he thought everything had disappeared a few years ago and blamed himself, but now Li Lian had come back, he had only one thing-

Protect her even if it means losing his life!
