124, Rimuru Versus the Man in the Suit

Suddenly, the Avatar Rimuru had kept hidden for so long broke away from his body in an instant, transforming into a streak of light mixed with soaring killing intent as it shot toward Arsenal Nation!

"What's wrong?" Lilith was briefly stunned, but soon turned her gaze toward where Rimuru had been looking. There, a man in a white suit had just been blasted away—and where he had originally stood, Ye Xiaoqian, gritting her teeth behind an expressionless Magician, was slowly getting back to her feet.

So that was it. They were future companions?

Seeing this, Lilith understood. She turned back to Rimuru and said, "Don't kill him."

"I know." Rimuru's main body wore a gloomy expression. He suddenly felt that he should have sent a clone to follow Ye Xiaoqian and the others much earlier. At least then, he would have known the moment they were in danger, instead of... having strangers save them when they were in trouble.

Thinking that, Rimuru clenched his fist slightly and suddenly said, "I want his Arsenal Nation."

"Hm?" Lilith blinked in surprise.

"Someone on our team will definitely like it." Rimuru raised his head slightly. Thinking of Yutong's extraordinary talent for controlling machinery, he revealed a brilliant smile, though it carried boundless killing intent. "Divine Radiance Industries was clearly badly damaged by the Dragon King and announced its withdrawal from this operation. Yet since he appeared here, he must have been unwilling to let someone else bring Arsenal Nation in alone, right?"

"Then... if I can't kill him, I'll make Divine Radiance Industries lose Arsenal Nation because of him. I'll make him... bear all the blame and become Divine Radiance Industries' sinner."

"Killing the man by breaking his heart. Not bad." Lilith nodded slightly in appreciation. "But Arsenal Nation itself recognizes a master.
