章 695: THE LITTLE DRAMA

Yagi did not think before he rushed to Emi. He was a slave to his pure instinct to protect. His heart was in his throat as he reached her and pulled her into his arms, calming her as she pulled her leg out of the hole. Her brother arrived almost at the same time, but Yagi did not give him a chance. 

His arms tightened around Emi, and Emi leaned into the gentle, comforting arms. As a trained martial artist, she was confident in her reflexes and response. However, she was just a little shocked by the suddenness of the floor disappearing beneath her feet. 

It was like vertigo, except without the height to prepare for it. 

Her heart rate rested as she was embraced by the warmth of a man she both knew and did not know. Somehow, she felt safe. 

"You are alright now." He said as he helped her stand up. 

"Yeah, yeah," She tried to gather herself.
