Much Better Conditions

Kai was a fool to think that his cousin had mellowed down in such a short amount of time. 

A lot has changed since then—definitely. 

Rui was now in Huolan High and was the water boy of the Guardians. He praised the players like they were the ones who breastfed him. For a moment, Kai thought he found a group of people who would help him feel that sense of belongingness he always lacked. However, he was the same annoying person who loved to prey on the weak. 

Minyu pursed his lips and looked down at his lap. 

"Sorry about that," he said. "I'll get going now." 

However, Kai didn't permit that to happen. If, back then, he tolerated what was done to him, now, he couldn't watch another person in a similar situation go through the same things. 

He felt it was his duty to do so as he was granted a new life. 

Rui rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he muttered. "I was just telling the truth."
