When Chongzong rushed back home, someone was already waiting for him at the door.

In the sunlight, the person's huge figure, infinitely elongated, covered the entire pathway in front of the Uesugi family's entrance.

With his highly recognizable figure and undeniable presence, Chongzong recognized him from dozens of meters away.

If it were any other day, Chongzong would have definitely kept his distance.

But today, at this location, Chongzong couldn't avoid it, he had to face it.

The Atlas Brown Bear stood upright at the entrance of the Uesugi family.

His sturdy and towering figure was like a wall, blocking the entire entrance of the Uesugi family.

Chongzong's first reaction was to turn and hide, ducking around the corner.

His heart raced, cold sweat ran down his back, and his body stiffened.

- Has the house been invaded?

- How is everyone doing?

- Should he tough it out?

Chongzong's mind was in chaos.

A voice in his heart kept urging him that if he didn't hurry, his family would be in danger!

After a brief but extremely painful inner struggle, Chongzong gritted his teeth and rushed out.

He had to face it head-on.

Even if he knew he couldn't win, he couldn't escape here.

At this moment, it wasn't a matter of winning or losing.

If he didn't do something here, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

As Chongzong ran towards the Atlas Brown Bear, he observed his surroundings.

Around the Uesugi family, only the Atlas Brown Bear was visible.

The house was quiet too, with no signs of commotion.

The windows were intact, showing no signs of damage.

- Is it just that no one happened to be home?

Chongzong thought this was highly unlikely.

This made him more anxious to know how his family was doing right now.

Soon, the Atlas Brown Bear also noticed Chongzong approaching.

The Atlas Brown Bear showed no intention to communicate, instead, he assumed a stance and waited for Chongzong.

It seemed that words were useless, it was a fight.

But after seeing the Atlas Brown Bear's reaction, Chongzong calmed down.

He had thought the bear would say something first and then resort to force when words failed.

What did it mean to start a fight without saying a word?

Various events of the day flashed through Chongzong's mind, finally forming a line.

Behind the Kuroda group was Bai Yaxin.

There could be two reasons why the Atlas Brown Bear appeared here.

One, they might have some scheme in the Uesugi house, so they needed someone guarding the entrance.

Another thing was that he was waiting here idly, hoping to apprehend himself and report back for duty.

With this thought, Chongzong's steps gradually slowed down.

Since that was the case, wouldn't it be foolish for him to act like a moth to a flame at this moment, seeking a dead end?

With a change of heart, Chongzong came to a halt.

Chongzong swiftly changed his route, leaped over a wall in one stride, and swiftly moved into the adjacent alley.

No one could rival Chongzong when it came to understanding the terrain near the Uesugi family.

Chongzong ran a short distance and circled around to the rear wall of the Uesugi family. He agilely climbed up the wall and landed on top.

After a quick scan of the surroundings, finding no one, he promptly made a decision and vaulted into the backyard of the Uesugi family. He then climbed up a tree in the backyard and leaped onto the roof, before flipping through the second-floor window into his own room.

What greeted Chongzong was a room in complete disarray.
