"Who Agrees, Who Objects?"

Magnetic fields.

They were everywhere in this world.

Matter was born through the interaction of magnetic fields.

Atoms and molecules gathered because of them.

What would happen if someone were forcibly demagnetized?

The answer was—BOOM!

The Magnetic Field Rotation system was indeed better suited to martial arts, but that did not mean scientific tricks were unusable.

Not wanting to throw a punch at this small fry, Bai Xing erased him from the world in the time it took to snap his fingers.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, Bai Xing looked around. "I don't care what conflicts or thoughts you have. From now on, listen to me."

With a smack, he placed a hand on Takahashi Hitomi's shoulder.

"As the saying goes, a country cannot go a day without a ruler. Likewise, an organization cannot be without a leader.

"Now, I propose that Takahashi Hitomi become the heir and take the position of head of the Takahashi Syndicate.

"I've said my piece. Who agrees? Who objects?"

Kawamoto shakily raised a finger and pointed at Bai Xing. "Y-You... what exactly are you?! Are you a devil?!"

Bai Xing gave him a sidelong glance. "Don't act like some ignorant country bumpkin, making such a fuss. How are you supposed to be a boss like that? I'll give you another chance. Think carefully before you speak."

Kawamoto had always been ambitious. He had thought that as long as he found the murderer and avenged Boss Takahashi, he could rightfully become the new leader.

Yet Iketani had found the traitor first, and now a terrifying man with bizarre powers had appeared!

Just as the atmosphere in the conference hall reached a deadlock and Bai Xing was preparing to kill a few more people to establish his authority—

Takahashi Hitomi spoke up. "Uncles, I was able to escape Yanagihara's pursuit only because Mr. Bai saved me. He also eliminated the traitor Yanagihara Masayuki and avenged my father. He is the benefactor of the Takahashi family. Please, do not doubt his sincerity!"

Even Bai Xing looked at her with some surprise.

Her words seemed irrelevant and meaningless, but in truth, they offered Kawamoto and the others a way out.

Bai Xing had not expected that the little girl who had been so nervous and helpless earlier would prove useful at such a crucial moment.

Sure enough, once Takahashi Hitomi finished speaking, Kawamoto was the first to pledge his loyalty.

The other executives followed suit.

After settling everything that morning, Bai Xing first took ten million yen from Iketani, ensuring he would no longer be penniless.

He was about to return to the Kyoto Shijo Yumei Hotel when Iketani caught up with him.

"Mr. Bai!"

"What is it?" Bai Xing turned to look at him.

"Mr. Bai, you don't have an official place to stay yet, so perhaps—"

Before he could finish, Bai Xing cut him off. "Don't use such pointless excuses. Say what you want to say."

Iketani hesitated awkwardly before explaining the predicament facing the Takahashi Syndicate.

Although Takahashi Hitomi had successfully taken the position, the verbal recognition of the executives alone was far from enough.

To truly take control of the Takahashi Syndicate would not be easy, even with Iketani assisting her.

Not to mention that he had just learned the real reason Takahashi Kenichiro had been killed!

Facing the threat of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the current Takahashi Syndicate had no ability to resist at all.

That was why he wanted Bai Xing to stay at headquarters, serving as both protection and deterrence.

After giving it some thought, Bai Xing agreed to Iketani's request.

Living in a hotel was indeed inconvenient in many ways. Here, he could have the Takahashi Syndicate's people handle miscellaneous matters for him whenever needed.

After all, according to their agreement, once he resolved the Takahashi Syndicate's crisis, Bai Xing would not only receive thirty percent of its profits as payment, but would also have the right to make demands of the Takahashi Syndicate, which would have to cooperate fully.

Thus, Bai Xing first instructed Iketani to send people to the Ajin Research Management Association and monitor its movements around the clock.

Then, he had them set up a fully equipped indoor shooting range at headquarters as quickly as possible.

Although Iketani did not understand what he intended to do, the fate of the entire Takahashi Syndicate now rested on this unfathomable man before him.

Naturally, he readily agreed to everything.

It took only three days for the indoor shooting range to be completed.

At that moment, Bai Xing stood inside the range, toying with a firearm in his hand.

The familiar feeling returned the moment he held it.

Load the magazine, chamber a round, disengage the safety, aim, pull the trigger.

All in one smooth motion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every shot struck the bullseye.

Iketani, standing nearby, was instantly dumbfounded. He had never expected Bai Xing's marksmanship to be so exceptional as well.

Unable to help himself, he applauded. "Amazing! Mr. Bai, what incredible shooting!"

Yet Bai Xing showed no pride. Expressionless, he said, "Prepare plenty of ammunition for me. Then buy me a miniature bomb and arrange a surgical procedure."

Iketani was even more confused. He opened his mouth to ask, but ultimately said nothing.

He simply followed Bai Xing's orders.

As for Bai Xing, he remained in the indoor shooting range and continued his shooting practice.

Of course, he was not training his marksmanship.

In truth, as he gradually entered the realm of Current Drive—

Low-powered firearms posed less and less of a threat to him.

The reason he had built this shooting range and had Iketani bring him so much ammunition—

Was to practice martial arts!

That was right.

He would use firearms to practice martial arts!

In his previous life, Bai Xing had been an underground fighter. Though he specialized in free fighting, his attainments in Xingyi Quan had also been considerable.

Xingyi Quan was divided into Five-Element Fist and Twelve-Form Fist.

Bai Xing was no martial arts prodigy. He had only focused on the Dragon Form and Tiger Form among the Twelve-Form Fist.

Beyond those, there were also Bear Form, Snake Form, Camel Form, Monkey Form, Horse Form, Rooster Form, Swallow Form, Alligator Form, Kite Form, and Eagle Form!

They were practical combat techniques created by ancient people based on the movement characteristics of twelve animals.

However, Bai Xing believed that times had advanced. Continuing to imitate animals in modern society was simply too outdated.

In his previous life, he had lacked the power to put his ideas into practice.

But in this life, he had already gained the initial strength required!

Using the Twelve-Form Fist as a foundation, he would discard the ancient concept of imitating animals.

He would instead imitate firearms!

And create martial arts techniques that belonged to him alone.

For his first move, he would treat his fist as a bullet leaving the barrel, use electromagnetic force to carve rifling through the air, and combine it with explosive power.

The resulting technique was called—Rapid Bullet Fist!

While Bai Xing secluded himself to develop his new move—

At the Ajin Research Management Association.

Inside a specially designed laboratory, the recovered Experiment No. 003 was imprisoned.

Nagai Kei had endured a total of nine days of experiments.

And at last, a trace of hatred had arisen in his heart!

"Why... I only wanted an ordinary life. I studied hard, got into medical school, became an intern, and was even close to becoming a full doctor. That ordinary, mundane career was within reach. I had clearly planned everything long ago... So why... why did it turn out like this?!"

He screamed inwardly without end. Blood once again flowed from the corners of his eyes, which had split from being forced too wide by pain.

It looked like tears of blood!

"Hey, don't blame us. We're only following orders too."

Perhaps seeing that hatred in his eyes—

One of the researchers busy at his side could not help speaking.

But from his voice... he was clearly one of the two researchers who had narrowly escaped death on the day Sato broke in, thanks to Nagai Kei's cover!

And now, facing his savior, he picked up the scalpel again.

The sharp blade sliced through flesh, making Nagai Kei feel a chill that pierced straight into his bones!
