Boss, We're Just a Gang! That's a Tank!
"Oh, aren't you surprised to find yourself still alive?"
Ian made what he thought was a funny joke.
Dreyn, lying on the ground, stared blankly at him, then a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he said hoarsely.
"Yes..."
"It's quite unexpected... I didn't expect... that you'd been watching me the whole time..."
At that moment, Dreyn understood perfectly.
The boy I met.
He's not an ordinary person at all...
It makes sense... being able to freely grant someone a drug that transforms them into a superhero...
How could such an existence possibly pay attention to an ordinary person like myself?
Perhaps... it's a revenge drama of my own making...
To some extent, it pleased the other person too...
However, he was still Gratitude, at least the other party had given him a chance for revenge.
Ian hadn't expected his joke to cause the other person to overthink things.
At this moment, the ten-second countdown expired.
The effect of the Performance-Enhancing Liquid vanished instantly.
The gunshot wound he had already suffered, combined with the aftereffects of his body's extraordinary physical exertion, all erupted at once!
The next moment, intense pain coursed through Dreyn's entire body!
"Holy crap!!"
He was trembling all over. With the Performance-Enhancing Liquid gone, he had reverted to a haggard and frail middle-aged man. Unable to bear the intense pain, he even rolled on the ground in agony.
"Well..."
Ian was helpless; he had no medical supplies at the moment, so he could only knock the other person unconscious with a chop to the neck.
"Swish!" "Swish!"...
Just then, Chrollo Uvogin group emerged from the guardhouse nearby.
Before this, Ian had used the [Set-Building Machine] to create a hidden compartment in the guard room, where Chrollo and the others hid and watched the outside scene through the surveillance cameras.
Upon seeing Ian appear, they all showed themselves.
"Hey, Ian, should we kill these guys?!" Uvogin was the first to speak as soon as he appeared.
They are currently being held at gunpoint by a group of gang members.
Perhaps because his life was threatened, Uvogin stared intently at them, his face full of displeasure.
Nobunaga stepped forward, his face tense, his hand on the sword at his waist, and stood steadily in front of Ian.
No matter what, he and Uvogin are Ian's absolute meat shields!
On the field, changes occurred one after another.
This left Retsubu Kazuo and the rest of the gang members utterly shocked.
First, there was the boy who seemed to appear out of nowhere, and then a group of young people who suddenly appeared from the guard room.
Those damned bastards!
Does he think his territory is a public toilet, where he can come and go as he pleases?!
Retsubu Kazuo's face was grim, completely devoid of his previous fear, and he roared like an enraged lion.
"Bastards, no matter who you are, you can all die!"
With that, he ordered his men to open fire!
In the Hunter World.
Modern weapons are already incredibly powerful...
Of course, at this point, Ian had not yet mastered the "hardness" and felt that he could not rely solely on his own "training" to withstand bullets.
But he wasn't too panicked.
After all, they are just a group of ordinary people right now, and dealing with them would be quite easy.
"Get in the car first!"
He whispered a command.
The next moment, Chrollo, Uvogin, and their group grabbed the unconscious Dreyn from the ground and jumped onto a nearby car belonging to gang members.
Ian followed closely behind.
Behind him, bullets were constantly being fired at the ground, creating a cloud of smoke and dust!
As he ran, Ian moved swiftly, and as he raised his hand, a green megaphone appeared in his palm—the [Nonliving Hypnosis Loudspeaker].
"You are a tank!"
"You are a tank!"
"You are a tank!"
As Ian shouted three times at the car in front of him, the driver put away the horn and jumped out of the window into the car.
The next second!
"Boom!"
The car, which was originally riddled with bullet holes, suddenly trembled and evolved like a Transformers!
The car door slammed shut with a "snap," transforming into heavy steel armor; the wheels became tracks; and a long cannon barrel, seemingly supplied by steel from somewhere, protruded from the vehicle.
Although it's a bit small, this vehicle has undoubtedly become a tank!
These gang members had never seen anything like this sci-fi fantasy blockbuster before!
Their eyes widened, and they swallowed hard.
Stared directly at by the cannon barrel, at this moment, they felt that the demonic middle-aged man from before didn't seem so scary after all...
"Boss... Boss! Shall we keep fighting!?"
A gang member asked, his voice trembling.
They're gangsters, not the army! They've never fought against such "big guys" before!
Upon seeing the "tank," the gang members immediately stopped firing and took cover behind cover.
"Are you scared?!" Although Retsubu Kazuo was also somewhat flustered, he was still furious when he heard his subordinates' question.
He has lost too much today!
Moreover, although he didn't know the origins of these kids with strange abilities, as a gang leader, he knew he absolutely couldn't let them live today, or he would be the one to die!
He glanced coldly at the gang members beside him, who were considered his elite subordinates, and saw that some of them were avoiding eye contact. He sneered.
"These people are clearly not ordinary. If you hold back now, aren't you afraid of letting a tiger return to the mountains?"
"Don't you understand? No matter how powerful these people are, they're still just kids. They don't have three heads and six arms. If they get shot, they'll die. So what are you afraid of?!"
"Saitō, bring me my howitzer!"
"If we don't settle this today, I'm not the Retsubu Kazuo Kalie Gang Built from Scratch!"
And at this very moment.
Inside the tank, in a safe environment, Ian had no intention of rushing into an attack.
At this moment, he was staring blankly at a red-haired girl whose hands were bound and whose delicate face was slightly swollen on one side.
What a coincidence... this guy was hiding in this car...
"The young lady of the Sharku Family?"
Ian looked at the other person and asked curiously.
"Hmph, so you're the reinforcements my father sent!"
"You guys are so slow! I... I'm going to tell Dad when I get back and make him deduct your commission!!"
The little girl bared her teeth, her face full of arrogance, showing no trace of the terrified look she had earlier when she was frightened by the Kalie Gang.
"Hiss..."
Ian gasped.
Goodness... I haven't been this angry in a long time...
He raised his hand as if to strike.
The other person seemed to have just been hit; upon seeing the hand raised, they immediately shrank back in fright, turning from a hedgehog into a little Rabbit.
Ian couldn't help but smile upon seeing this.
naughty kids... need a slap to teach them a lesson...
Nothing else works...
"Hey, Uvogin, you can drive the tank, do whatever you want... I don't know how anyway..."
In fact, there are many ways to deal with the Kalie Gang.
But he couldn't be bothered with those scumbags...
It doesn't mean much...
So he handed over the driving of the tank to Uvogin, while he looked at Dreyn inside the tank, somewhat perplexed.
This wound... is still gushing blood...
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said to Machi beside him.
"Machi, could you try to stop the bleeding?"
He thought about Machi's future Nen Stitching; perhaps she was just exceptionally talented in this area...
And then he heard what Ian said.
Machi blushed slightly, then her eyes turned serious, as if she had received a military order, and she said with a tense expression.
"Don't worry, Ian, I can do it!"
Where no one could see, she clenched her little hands into fists, secretly encouraging herself.
Ian says she can do it, then she definitely can!
Since Ian believes in you... Machi... you can definitely do it!
Come on!
