153 Do you know who he is?

"If you want it to be a threat, then it's a threat." 

In the still moment, Maddox and Rie stare at each other. The air around them freezes as they regard the danger that the other one promises. Kiyohira watches the two, thinking deeply. 

Rie is not angry. She's rather pleased. They are showing their true faces now. She has never liked people who say one thing and does a totally different thing. Maddox has been acting like a love fool for the past five years. To this fanatic man, love has a completely different meaning. Five years ago, he helped her because the DH's leader asked him to. Now, she's finding it odd. This man has been following her for a long time. It was him who told her in the chatroom that Ren went to the DH for her sake. He's been following her since she came to the world hack series. It was around the same time when she got the invitation from DH's inner circle.

Is she wrong?
