Nice Work, Dreyn

In no Kung Fu Hustle at all.

Several members of the Kalie Gang led a red-haired girl with her hands bound as they approached.

The girl had delicate features, and her fair skin contrasted sharply with the burly, dark-skinned gangsters around her.

However, her face was full of arrogance. Despite her petite figure, she was like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, struggling as she walked!

"You bunch of Kalie Gang bastards, let me go right now!"

"My brother and father will not let you get away with this!!"

"Did you hear me? Let me go right now!"

Ian, hiding under the Invisible Cloak, watched this scene with curiosity, thinking to himself.

This is... Kalie Gang kidnapped the young lady of the Sharku Family!?

Tsk...

This girl doesn't seem very bright...

They've already been arrested and still dare to act so arrogantly; they're probably going to suffer the consequences...

Just as expected!

She was still shouting when she was brought to Retsubu Kazuo's side.

However, how could a gang leader like Retsubu Kazuo, who rose to power through his own efforts, possibly indulge such an innocent young girl? He gave her a cold, icy look.

The next second, his subordinates took over the task for him.

"Smack!"

A resounding slap landed squarely on the girl's face.

Less than a second later, her once fair and delicate face became red and swollen. The girl was clearly stunned by the slap and remained speechless.

"Miss Mina, I want you to understand one thing: you are now my hostage."

"Given the current situation where the Sharku Family is opposing us at every turn, it's already merciful of me not to kill you immediately, so... you'd better not provoke me!"

"Otherwise, I suppose you wouldn't want to know how the mafia treats a pretty young girl like you..."

Retsubu Kazuo had a cold face and exuded the aura of a superior, but his words could not hide the despicable ruthlessness of a gangster.

Sure enough, the girl named Mina turned pale, her lips trembled a few times, and she didn't dare to say another word.

Perhaps it was only after being slapped that she realized there was no loving father or brother here.

"Now, I'll ask, and you answer!"

"If your answer doesn't satisfy me, you can pick any of my men here. They're all eager to have a serious sparring session with a cute and charming girl like you!"

Hearing this, Ian shook his head.

Tasteless... Absolutely tasteless...

What kind of gang boss...

Indeed, don't overdo the filters; those who climb their way up from the bottom are truly ruthless and will stop at nothing...

Their bottom line is probably no different from that of beasts.

"What plans did you have against the Kalie Gang before?"

Retsubu Kazuo's eyes flashed with a cold light as he asked in a chilling tone.

"I... I don't know..."

The little girl named Mina hesitated for a moment, then said in a trembling voice.

"You don't know? My factory was attacked by your people, and you, the young lady of the Sharku Family, are telling me you know nothing?"

"Miss Mina, are you telling me that you... are of no use to me?"

Upon hearing this, her face turned pale, and all her previous arrogance vanished as she trembled.

"It was all a plan discussed and decided by my brother and father. I... I don't know..."

Retsubu Kazuo's face was icy. He waved his hand and addressed his subordinates.

"Strip her naked! A fool like her can't possibly divulge any valuable information!"

Hearing the boss's instructions.

Several burly men were about to step forward and tear the other man's clothes off.

Mina's face was filled with terror; she had lost all her previous courage and looked like a frightened little white rabbit.

Ian, hidden in the Invisible Cloak, prepares to strike.

Killing someone is merely a matter of beheading!

No matter what, he didn't want to see a group of scumbags doing such beastly things to a young girl.

However, just as he was about to take action...

"Da da!"

Suddenly, the sound of intense submachine gun fire came from not far away!

The gang members present were all taken aback.

What happened!?

Retsubu Kazuo's expression was icy as he asked in a deep voice.

Just then, a gang member wearing a headset in the distance suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly ran over.

"Boss, there are still enemies hiding in the factory. The people who went to check were attacked!"

Upon hearing this...

Retsubu Kazuo grinned with a ferocious smile, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Good, very good, the man hasn't gone far. Tell the men to capture that guy, I want to skin him alive!"

He was giving such orders.

But he noticed that the younger brother beside him didn't move. He seemed to be listening carefully to the headset, his face growing increasingly grim. Finally, he suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with fear as he gazed into the depths of the factory.

"Why aren't you going yet!?"

Retsubu Kazuo questioned loudly. His younger brother, his face filled with disbelief, replied tremblingly.

"Boss, the people who just went in... it seems they're all dead..."

"They said... they said they saw evil spirits..."

Retsubu Kazuo's expression froze for a moment, then he roared loudly.

"They're all dead!?"

"You bunch of idiots, you can't even handle such a small thing!"

He shoved his underling aside, pulled a submachine gun from the car, cocked it with a click, and roared angrily.

"Let's charge in together!"

"They're just reinforcements the Sharku Family found. What nonsense! In all my years, I've never seen anything that can't be killed by a gun!"

Nearby, Mina, who had narrowly escaped death, heard the other party mention words like "Sharku... reinforcements."

She clenched her teeth, trying to avoid attracting attention. A sliver of color finally returned to her pale face. At that moment, she desperately hoped to be rescued by reinforcements and escape the clutches of the Kalie Gang!

Just as Retsubu Kazuo was about to lead his men into the factory!

Just then!

They saw it...

Like a demon, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the distance next to a gang member stationed in front, wielding a scarlet kitchen knife, and slashed fiercely!

"Pfft..."

The gang member, along with his gun, was slashed in two, blood splattering everywhere.

Everyone, including Retsubu Kazuo, stared at the scene in disbelief!

They had never seen such inhuman methods before!

"Fire... fire! Fire now!!"

The next moment, someone shouted.

The panicked crowd instinctively opened fire, showing no intention of conserving ammunition, unleashing a barrage of shots at the distant shadowy figure.

Kill him!

Retsubu Kazuo had lost his previous bravado, took a step back and almost collapsed to the ground, panting heavily and shouting in a panic.

Inside the Invisible Cloak.

Ian carefully moved to a safe position, fearing that he might be hit by a stray bullet if he was unlucky.

Upon seeing Dreyn's appearance, he continued his killing spree without pause.

He nodded to himself.

This guy may be an ordinary person, but he's a real talent. At least he does one thing very well: he doesn't waste any words and just starts attacking without thinking twice when he sees someone!

Most importantly, they are truly ruthless in their crackdown on gangsters!

But...

His time is probably coming to an end...

Ian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then decided to take action.

This guy performed quite well; if given the chance to unlock his Nen Abilities, he could become a good helper.

After all, he led Kuroro Machi and the others out.

It's not so that they can be thieves and laborers like in their previous lives, robbing and pillaging everywhere...

It's impossible for me to do everything myself.

Having enough talented people and a large team of capable people will make life easier.

Meanwhile, on the field...

"Thirty seconds..."

Dreyn's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted in a grimace.

Time is almost up...

And he seemed to have spotted the leader of the Kalie Gang!

That bastard, he has to be killed!

Even with the Performance-Enhancing Liquid, he was forced to desperately dodge amidst the dense barrage of gunfire from the gang members.

Once he found the right opportunity, he swiftly flashed past!

"Pfft!"

Another person was cleaved in two with a single stroke.

"Twenty seconds!"

Without uttering a single word, he brandished the cleaver in his hand until it was almost smoking. He ignored bullets that he could have easily dodged, determined to take a hit and charge forward.

After killing several more enemies, he was one step closer to Retsubu Kazuo.

"Ten seconds!"

"Quick... kill him! He's just a person, not some ghost! Shoot him dead!"

"Bang!"

A bullet struck Dreyn squarely in the shoulder.

His face contorted in pain as he flew backward, his pupils reflecting the receding Retsubu Kazuo.

There's no... chance anymore...

Lianna, Paliya... will you blame me...?

At that moment, Dreyn seemed to see his wife and daughter smiling down at him from the sky...

Just then...

"Well done, Dreyn!"

As if in a dream, Dreyn slowly opened his eyes.

He saw it... the boy who had given him a "miracle" was smiling at him.
