The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 696: like a puppy

AFTER the Duke of Hearts' announcement, it signaled the end of this round. So, the Luo brothers quickly teleported out of there before other contestants or even the audience bombarded them with anything.

They appeared inside the main hall of their headquarters. It did not take long before the other members of the team also appeared. Of course, Luo Wei Tian, Luo Ren, and Yu Jiao were with them.

The father and son immediately walked to Luo Yan and Luo Jin once they saw them.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Jin, congratulations! You both did amazing!" their father said. "Although there were a few numbers of times where I felt like my heart would jump out of my chest, especially during Xiao Jin's fight. But both of you really did great. As expected of my sons."

"Yes, you two were amazing. Congratulations for passing this round," Luo Ren followed up with a smile.

"I-it's nothing, I only did what I had to. There's no need for so much fanfare," Luo Jin stammered with a shy blush on his cheeks.

All three from the Luo family looked at their youngest with a knowing smile. Their thoughts were the same – ah, he's being shy again.

"Thanks, Dad, Brother," Luo Yan said, to lessen Luo Jin's embarrassment. "But I really didn't do much. The one who won the fight for me is this amazing kid," he added, putting his hand on Eclipse's shoulder.

Eclipse, who was still in his humanoid form, peeked out from behind. Looking at Luo Wei Tian with curiosity.

"Ah, of course, your name is Eclipse, right? You were amazing back there," Luo Wei tian said. In which Luo Ren nodded in agreement. "Thank you for protecting Xiao Yan."

Eclipse blushed for no reason and turned shy, something that seldom happened. "No, it's only right for Eclipse to protect Mashter." And then, he followed that up by sending a telepathic message to Luo Yan. [Mashter, this uncle is so handsome! He looked a bit like your handsome brother. Who is he?]

Luo Yan chuckled when he heard that. The fact that Eclipse said that through their telepathic connection instead of saying it straightforwardly like he would usually do showed how much the kid was affected by his father's handsomeness.

He held Eclipse's shoulders and gently pushed him forward. "Eclipse, this is my Dad."

Hearing that, the little boy's eyes widened. "No wonder you're so handsome, Uncle!" he couldn't help but blurt out.

Luo Wei Tian was surprised at first and then just laughed. "I like this kid."

After giving the family some alone time, the others finally approached them and congratulated both Luo Yan and Luo Jin. All of them were obviously very happy at their win.

When it was Shen Ji Yun's turn, he was about to enthusiastically congratulate Luo Yan for his win – well, at least as enthusiastic as he could be. But before he could do that, he quickly stopped himself. Uncle Tian was here with them. If he only congratulated his rabbit with such enthusiasm, wouldn't it be quite obvious that he was treating Luo Yan differently?

He didn't mind if people knew about his feelings for Luo Yan. After all, it's not something he should be ashamed about. In fact, if he could, he would have already announced it to the world. Shouting at the top of his lungs, telling everyone how much he liked Luo Yan. But this was not the right time yet.

He didn't to ruin everything just because he couldn't control himself. The right time would definitely come. But not now. Not at this moment. But that's okay. Because he was willing to wait. So, he wouldn't do anything that might ruin whatever chance he might have with Luo Yan.

"Congratulations to the both of you," he said, the corner of his lips raising a bit. Before turning to the little kid. "You too, Eclipse."

"Thank you, Captain!" Eclipse responded with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan also said with a smile.

Luo Jin only scoffed. This time, it was not because he was feeling shy. It was simply because he knew that this guy was definitely only congratulating his brother and he was just included in the process.

After the round of congratulations, Luo Wei Tian suddenly said while looking around;

"So, this place is your team's headquarters?"

"Uncle, do you want a tour? I can give you one right now?" Bai Ze said excitedly. "You'll definitely like this place. We put a lot of thoughts into its design."

"Okay, I don't see a reason why not," Luo Wei Tian said with interest.

Bai Ze then turned to Luo Ren. "Brother Ren, you haven't checked the whole place, right? Do you also want to come along?"

Luo Ren wanted to say 'no'. But then thought of something and then glanced at Yu Jiao.

"Sure," he said to his cousin before turning to Yu Jiao. "Jiao Jiao, do you want to come as well?"

Yu Jiao, who was suddenly named, said on impulse, "Y-yes?"

Luo Ren smiled when he heard that. "Great."

Luo Wei Tian looked back and forth from his eldest son to the handsome young man. And once again fell into a deep thought.

When the four left the main hall, only the remaining four remained together with Eclipse who was now back to his fox form and comfortably snuggling in Luo Yan's arms.

"By the way, I recorded all the fights. I will send a copy to your emails after I log out," Su Yuqi said. "It will help during your matches tomorrow. Especially after that announcement."

"That would definitely be helpful," Luo Jin said. "Thank you, Su Yuqi."

Luo Yan looked interestingly at his younger brother before turning to Su Yuqi. "Yes, Sister Yuqi, thank you."

"I could send some analysis of the fight," Shen Ji Yun suddenly added. The way he said it was like that of someone who didn't want to lose, as if saying he could also help out as well.

"No, thanks. I'd rather do my own analysis," Luo Jin said with no pity.

"I'm actually with Ah Jin on this one."

As soon as Luo Yan said that, Shen Ji Yun became a deflated ball. Almost like a puppy with both its ears down.
