The door to a small living room was pushed open, and Li Yifei and Aoki Ryota saw a figure standing by the window. The man had his back to them, hands clasped behind him, his posture upright like a sword. His presence exuded an icy and commanding aura, enough to make others instinctively feel awe.
Of course, this awe was only felt by Aoki Ryota. Although the man's aura was formidable, it posed no pressure whatsoever to Li Yifei. Li Yifei didn't need any display of his own aura to counter it; his casual demeanor was enough to handle the situation.
Looking at the figure's back, Li Yifei found it unfamiliar. Though he had encountered Inoue Aoga before and had clashed fiercely with him—nearly to the point of risking his life—seeing his back now didn't stir any recognition.
