No more cowardness, no more running away... 

Hirvan stood in the narrow alley, his back pressed against the cold, brick wall as he watched Ren Mengsheng's figure retreat into the distance in confusion and guilt. 

'Why did he let go so easily? Shouldn't he be yelling at us? Demanding more from me? Or at least getting angry at Ren Yuze?

Why he is leaving like this?

Why do I think he looks so lonely?!'

"What just happened?" Hirvan asked, looking puzzledly at Ren Yuze, who stood a few steps away, his expression somewhat unsettled by his brother's abrupt departure.

"This isn't like him! Shouldn't he interrogate me before accepting that I am his father?! What about the past or the rumours? Or the fact that I was associated with your parent's death?! why didn't he get angry at you for hiding my identity?!"

Ren YuZe pushed off the wall, walking closer to Hirvan, and replied hesitantly.

"Maybe he is just too shocked?!"

Hirvan shook his head, scoffing at the idea.
