Mei Raiden's pupils contracted as she staggered back, quickly pressing herself against the wall.

In that instant, memories of when she had been kidnapped resurfaced in her mind.

She had been...

Just as helpless...

Mei Raiden hugged her head and crouched in the corner, her pupils contracted as the emotion called fear kept welling up inside her.

A red glow appeared in her eyes.

But it soon vanished without a trace.

Noticing this, the man lowered the gun in his hand.

"Hm... How pitiful, little girl. Is your PTSD acting up?" the woman said with a smile, not the slightest bit of pity in her tone.

"Alright, take her away... Hm?"

Tap, tap, tap—

Unconcealed footsteps approached.

Making the three of them turn to look.

A boy stepped out from the shadows. He had been playing on his phone with his head lowered, but looked up and saw the scene before him.

As for the boy...

Of course, it was Lin Nai.

Tesla had bought a villa, but there was practically no furniture inside.

Since she knew Lin Nai had the ability to make things disappear and reappear again—System Space—she simply had him buy the furniture.

Lin Nai: 6

So he was basically a pack mule, huh?

He just hadn't expected to witness this right after buying furniture.

So, was this the part where he played the hero and saved the beauty?

Uwah.

How utterly cliché. How many years old was this trope already?

If you were out of ideas, might I suggest biting a lighter, dear?

What?

I should bite it?

Then pretend I never said anything.

"Meh? In broad daylight... Oh, it's night now. So what! Does nighttime mean you can do bad things?!"

"Oh my, what a cute child. How about it? Interested in coming with big sister to play a game?"

Lin Nai looked at the woman and thought for two seconds. "Auntie, please don't talk to me in that tone."

"A-Auntie?!"

The woman froze for a moment, staring at Lin Nai in disbelief.

At such a young and beautiful age, she had actually been called an auntie by him?!

Huh?!

"Pfft..."

The burly man failed to hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Hah?!"

"I wasn't laughing. I just thought of something happy."

"What?"

"My wife gave birth."

"Aren't you single? What did she give birth to, some kind of cup?!" the woman roared.

Knowing he was in the wrong, the burly man did not dare say anything more.

"Pfft!"

Even the cold-faced man laughed.

The woman shot him an unhappy look.

"I thought of something happy."

"What, did your wife give birth too? Do you two share one wife?!"

"No, his shoelace came undone."

Lin Nai: ?

The burly man: ?

What kind of bullshit excuse was that?

"Enough! You're obviously laughing at me! You haven't fucking stopped once!!"

"Run! They're after me!"

Mei Raiden snapped out of it amid the argument and immediately shouted when she saw Lin Nai.

She could not drag an innocent person into this...

"Run? He won't be running anywhere!!"

The woman lunged forward, planning to knock Lin Nai unconscious and then do some things that could not be written about.

But there was one problem.

She was facing Lin Nai.

So...

A heavy blow struck the woman in the abdomen. Her eyes rolled back, and she passed out.

Lin Nai: I got up, one-punched her. What was there to say?

The burly man and the other man were both dumbfounded.

Huh? She got one-shot?

Just like that?

Mei Raiden froze, unable to react for a moment.

"That's it? You're not much either." Lin Nai kicked the unconscious woman, then turned his gaze toward the two men.

"So, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"We..."

Unlike the burly man, who wanted to explain, the other man pulled out his gun without a word and pulled the trigger.

Bang!!

Mei Raiden instinctively shut her eyes, not daring to see Lin Nai fall.

But after a long time, she heard nothing else.

When she opened her eyes, she found Lin Nai holding his left fist against his chest, while the burly man and the other man stared wide-eyed in shock.

Lin Nai slowly opened his hand. A bullet fell to the ground, and his gaze turned cold.

"You like playing with guns? Hm?"

Looks like neither of you were good people.

Then Lin Nai could not be bothered pretending anymore. He pulled out Heavenly Fire Judgment, intending to show these two little bastards what a... gun was!!

And so...

"Little bastards! Look at me!!!"

Boom!!!!!

Lin Nai fired twice, blowing them all to pieces.

The kind that did not even leave corpses behind.

Mei Raiden, standing in the corner, was completely dumbstruck. What exactly had she encountered tonight?

"Are you okay?"

A gentle voice sounded beside her ear.

Mei Raiden looked up.

Under the moonlight, Lin Nai extended a hand toward her, his face full of concern.

Mei Raiden blinked.

Looking at Lin Nai's outstretched hand, she placed her hand in his. "Thank you..."

"It's nothing."

Lin Nai exerted a little force and pulled the very light girl up from the ground.

He dusted her off. "Girls shouldn't walk alone at night. It's easy for something to happen."

"Mm..."

"Alright, hurry home. Um... What's your name?"

"My name is... Mei Raiden."

"Huh?"

Lin Nai blinked and took a few steps back, sizing up the girl in front of him.

Just now, all his attention had been on those people.

He had barely looked at her.

He had not expected to pick up a housewife this time.

Hmm...

The three main girls were all here?

Wait, Trio Squad?

Oh no! He was going to become Yuko!!

"Einstein: I Have General Lin Nai..."

"What exactly was up with that brat..."

The woman climbed up from the ground, shaking her head. She nearly stumbled and fell again.

After coming to her senses.

She saw only the traces of an explosion before her.

"They planted explosives and ditched me before running away? Fuck!!"

"No, they just died."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing that, the woman turned her head.

Someone stood atop a streetlamp, looking down at her.
