The fallen cabinet on the ground.

The pulled-out drawer.

The scattered papers on the floor.

The messy pile of blankets on the bed.

The chair lying on the ground.

The pillow that fell on the ground and was accidentally stepped on…

Even though there was a sense of foreboding in his heart, that someone had broken into the house.

But seeing his room destroyed like this all at once, Chongzong was still stunned.

The enemy has already broken in.

How are Yui sister and Yuki doing?

What about Uncle Tianye and Yukino sister?

Who is Mizuo together with now and how is she?

In an instant, thousands of thoughts, like a bursting flood, surged through Chongzong's mind.

Anger, at the surface of Chongzong's heart, began to stir up a whirlpool.

Unconsciously, he clenched his fist, picked up the dropped utility knife on the floor, pushed the door open and walked out.

Strong yet light.

Without making a sound.

But swift as the wind.

Stepping down on the wooden floor.

Advancing slowly.

The whirlpool of anger in his heart also spread out in circles.

While listening for sounds, Chongzong searched the house.

But the house was so quiet that even Chongzong's own heartbeat and breathing were crystal clear.

Am I back too late?

After searching the second floor, Chongzong found no one.

His footsteps turned down to the first floor.

The house was eerily quiet.

There's no way there's no one.

The Atlas Brown Bear guarding the door, there must be a reason for it.

The quieter it was, the tenser Chongzong became.

Perhaps the enemy was lurking in the house, waiting for him.

Around every corner, behind every door, there might be an enemy hiding.

Chongzong was so tense that every hair on his body stood up, every inch of his skin, every muscle, was trembling.

Continue searching.

…

No one on the first floor either.

Where did Yui sister, Yuki, Uncle Tianye, and Yukino sister go?

Looking around the house, everything once so familiar had become a mess and now felt so strange.

I'm back too late.

What on earth happened in this house?

Chongzong took out his phone, dialed everyone's numbers, dialed Mizuo's number.

But the only response he got was the cold beep of "The number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later."

Just then, the door to the Sugi family opened.

With heavy footsteps approaching, each step on the wooden floor made a muffled "thud, thud" sound.

It wasn't the footstep Chongzong was familiar with from any Sugi family member.

The person making this kind of sound must weigh over ninety kilograms, with large feet.

Soon after, this person's shadow cast from the entrance to the living room.

Chongzong already knew who it was.

Ever since this person entered the Uesugi family.

After eliminating all the impossible factors, the only remaining possibility is the answer that Yui once gave.

The Atlas Brown Bear is not guarding the Uesugi family to cover for certain people.

Those individuals have already completed their tasks, thoroughly investigated the Uesugi family, and even taken away members of the Uesugi family.

The Atlas Brown Bear stayed behind to wait for Chongzong.

"Where are my family members?" (Chongzong)

Chongzong asked expressionlessly as the Atlas Brown Bear approached.

With the blades of his craft knife clicking out, ready for combat at any moment.

Yet the Atlas Brown Bear did not answer Chongzong's question, continuing to advance step by step.

- All of this is because of you.

- Why do you come to destroy the daily lives of these innocent people.

- If it weren't for people like you...!

Chongzong's inner turmoil engulfed everything, swallowing his reason in madness.

Enraged, Chongzong's expression turned ferocious.

- Go to hell.
