When she saw Bronya thrusting the knife towards the man's vital points.

Lin Nai's body trembled, his expression subtle.

Everyone present paused for a moment, glancing down at their own crotches.

Except for Kiana.

Of course, Kiana also froze for a few seconds.

She hadn't expected Bronya to be so decisive in her attack.

Sharp and skilled killing techniques…

Kiana wasn't actually that opposed to killing.

During her travels with Lin Nai, she had already seen all sorts of things.

Tragedies, comedies, the mundane.

She had met all kinds of people.

Especially villains.

Lin Nai would sometimes resort to killing.

At first, Lin Nai would avoid her.

For example, when Kiana let someone go, if Lin Nai felt that person was irredeemable and unrepentant.

He would then leave, using the excuse of needing to use the restroom.

And then that person would be dead.

Kiana almost shouted "Toilet God of War" at Lin Nai back then.

Toilet God of War: Someone who frequently goes to the restroom and is very strong.

Wouldn't you agree? Pointy-headed alien?

Later, after she discovered this, Lin Nai stopped bothering to pretend.

Occasionally, right in front of her, he would lay out all the evidence of the other person's crimes and take them down.

For example, human traffickers, rapists, or others.

Lin Nai told her that some people aren't worth pity or forgiveness.

Enemies are the same; if you pick up a weapon and stand on the opposing side, you must be prepared to die.

And they must also be prepared to kill.

The victor will live, the loser will fall into hell.

But… the victor will live on carrying the resentment of the loser.

However, none of that mattered. As long as one's heart is firm, one just needs to keep moving forward.

Over the course of a year of travel.

She learned a lot from Lin Nai, understood a lot, and comprehended a lot.

But understanding is understanding.

Initially, Kiana could still think about things, but now she couldn't be bothered to think about them anymore.

Kiana: I don't know who I am, I just want to go on a killing spree!

This was a thought process she had picked up from Lin Nai.

And so.

Kiana used Kaslana Gun Fu to beat down the enemies in front of her.

Speaking of which, is kicking with your feet considered Kaslana Gun Fu?

It's so amazing!

Chapter 11: We Are! The Trio Squad!

The luxurious suite in the hotel had turned into a battlefield.

Lin Nai fought against a group, Kiana fought against a group, and Bronya was almost in a killing frenzy.

On the walls of the room.

On the floor.

Bloodstains were everywhere.

Lifeless bodies, limp as mud, lay scattered on the ground.

Bronya and Lin Nai's clothes were also stained with blood.

Only Kiana, who was always almost splashed with blood, was pulled away by Lin Nai, so her white clothes remained spotless.

Lin Nai: White clothes are such a hassle to wash.

"Hoo..."

Lin Nai brushed off the completely non-existent dust from his clothes.

Bronya sat in a pool of blood, panting in small breaths.

Lin Nai extended his hand towards Bronya, extending an invitation:

"From now on, will you walk with us?"

"Hm?"

Bronya looked over in confusion.

"This guy and I are traveling, want to join?" Lin Nai gestured with his thumb towards Kiana behind him.

Bronya hesitated.

She didn't know what to do next or where to go.

So she reached out her hand, grasping the man who had offered her help and saved her.

If it weren't for him.

She... probably would have been eliminated.

Seeing this, Lin Nai smiled.

"From today on, we're companions." Kiana sidled up.

Lin Nai smiled and said, "My name is Lin Nai, this is Kiana, please take care of us."

Bronya gazed at the two bathed in sunlight, murmuring to herself.

"Companions... huh?"

Bronya joined the team.

So from now on, we are... a Trio Squad!!

Lin Nai's inner monologue was as rich as ever, but as everyone knows, a trio squad has four people.

So one more is missing.

That would inevitably be a certain purple-haired cooking waifu.

At that time!

He, Lin, will either be Taiga or Yuko!

[That's probably the latter, right?]

Lin Nai: Shut up! System, you're not allowed to interrupt the host!

[Then you'll interrupt me?]

Lin Nai: ???

Brain freeze.

Lin Nai: My mother gave birth to me...

You're not right, you're very not right!!

Lin Nai's expression grew increasingly complex. What was going on with this system?

Setting aside whether you have a mouth or not, even if you did, where would you plug it in?

I hate systems that make boundary-crossing jokes, you might as well give me an extension cord.

Right?

In short, that's how it is.

Lin Nai, along with Kiana and Bronya, embarked on their journey...

Meanwhile.

Gray Snake stood on a rooftop, hands in his pockets, gazing at the hotel in front of him.

"Gray Snake, I've brought the person."

Raven walked over with a man wrapped in sackcloth.

"Heh... hehe." The man chuckled awkwardly, "Lord Gray Snake, I've completed all the requirements you mentioned, so you see..."

"Mm."

Gray Snake nodded and tossed a box from his other hand to the man.

The man grinned happily, quickly catching the box and his eyes lit up as he looked at the cash inside.

This money was enough for him to gamble a few times!

If Lin Nai were here, he would immediately recognize who this person was.

It was the thug who had come looking for trouble as soon as they arrived in the city.

"Th-then, I'll take my leave now."

The man chuckled, clutching the money box and leaving in a hurry.

Even though he'd been forced into this job at gunpoint, he never expected to actually get paid.

What's a little public humiliation, anyway?

Who cares when there's money involved?

Gray Snake glanced at the departing man but said nothing.

"Gray Snake, I don't understand. If you wanted that kid to have a better life, why didn't you just give him a card or take him with you?"

Raven crossed her arms, completely baffled by Gray Snake's intentions.

Speaking of which.

It felt like the majority of her missions involved cleaning up messes for those two kids.

The one with the streak of red hair possessed a maturity beyond his years and was always cautious.

But even so.

There were some things that weren't within a child's capabilities.

This world ran deep, and how could that child possibly navigate it?

This was precisely when she, Raven the mercenary assigned by Gray Snake, had to step in.

Raven, the mess-cleaner, would resolve everything.

But if Gray Snake valued that child so highly.

Why not just absorb him into World Serpent?

Just like how they'd forcefully taken her away back then
