"A Star in town"

On our way back, Shinji didn't utter a single word. He was probably drowned in his thoughts and still not recovering from his shock.

He had already witnessed violence from his childhood days because he experienced it himself, but he never mentioned something like seeing a murder in broad daylight.

Well, I guess most people do not see a man murdering another man on a daily basis, so his profound shock is completely justified.

But I had to do it, not for just the sake of his ass, but also for the sake of the girl those five scum mentioned.

While nearing at our home, I noticed several black sedans parked in front of our home and a dozen tall men guarding our front door. A crowd of people was storming in the premise, even our old neighbors were in it.

"Akane! Akane!"

"Can i take a picture with you?!"

"Akane! We're your biggest fans!"

"Akane, can you come outside so we can see you?!"

"Akane, I'm a fool for you!"

"Akane? The little Akane? That suprised me" I thought.

Thanks to my stature and intimidating body size, I and Shinji managed to get through the swarming and screaming crowd of people.

But as we reached the door, the bodyguards hindered us with frowning faces and intimidating demeanor.

This fucking bothers me. What the fuck is the meaning of this? Am not I allowed in my own home? If Akane-chan wasn't here, I'd beat these guys into bloody pulp, and I wouldn't care about it if they're just following orders.

"Hold up!" One bodyguard yelled in my face.

"You're not allowed inside, asshole!" Another bodyguard said.

"This is my home." I said, mildly annoyed but calm.

"We don't give a shit!." Another bodyguard said with a cocky attitude.

"Akane-san is inside this house and we were ordered not let anyone in as she doesn't want to be disturbed!" Another bodyguard explained.

The bodyguard with cocky attitude slowly approached me and stared at me with such rude and contempt.

"So....."

"You heard the man, right? So you can fuck off, you foreign ape!" The bodyguard with cocky attitude mocked.

I took a deep sigh.

Suddenly, I headbutted the piece of shit with such strength, leaving his colleagues in great suprise and knocking him unconscious to the ground.

"What the fuck?!" Some of the bodyguards exclaimed.

"Apprehend him!" Their team leader loudly commanded.

This is why I love men with ill-mannered demeanors.

Because they always give me reasons to beat their bloody arses without hesitation and doubt in my heart.

As they were about to swarm me....

"Yamete kudasai!"

Someone with a familiar shouted at us from inside our home.

Then, a small, young, gorgeous, glowing with skin of like a snow has appeared behind the bodyguards.

Seeing that woman, I quickly raised my eyebrows..

It was Akane with a worried face, and along with her was Reina, smiling like she was proud of me for knocking someone out cold. Surprisingly, she's wearing a plain white tank top, revealing her majestic and hard abs and her muscly, toned arms.

All of her bodyguards went silent and regained their composure.

Except one...

In a matter of seconds, the bodyguard with cocky attitude woke up.

"You fucking foreign ape!" He roared, his face is full of anger.

Furious due to embarrassment, he tried to land a right hook at me.

But I hit him first, with a violent headbutt again, knocking him out cold for the second time.

Reina laughed like a child.

"Bro, are you trying to kill him?" Reina teased.

Akane giggled like a child.

"Can you please let Ray-senpai and Shinji-kun come inside?" Akane ordered her bodyguards with a jolly smile.

Her bodyguards turned around and bowed their heads.

"Hai! Akane-san!"

Akane Inoue, the most promising, well-liked, talented person with a bright personality, is greatly favored in the entertainment industry and she's earning an uncountable fortune due to her many success in many events. Akane happily explained to me how'd she got this far.

Turns out, she was handpicked by the best talent scout in Tokyo, thanks to her cheerful, bubbly, and likable personality, her undying empathy for poor people and animals, her angelic voice, and her extreme cuteness. With her popularity rising, she had the opportunity to meet the most famous supermodel and heavenly gorgeous Sakura Himura and was offered to sponsor her until the end of her career. That's why she and Reina crossed paths and offered their best intention to form an unbreakable and solid friendship. With the emotional support from her best friend, Reina and her boyfriend, Shinji, she never stopped moving forward and continued to work hard, not just for herself, but for the future of those whom she cares a lot about.

I still couldn't believe this the little Akane I grew up with.

I know I'm empty inside but I couldn't help but to feel proud of her.
