"Cunning Rabbit House! If you've got the guts, stop running—!"
Old Bai shouted furiously from behind.
"If we had the guts, we'd have fought you already. Why would we need to run, idiot!"
Suddenly, several figures appeared in front of the three.
At a glance, they turned out to be Old Bai's lackeys.
Their submachine guns were loaded and aimed at Nicole's group.
"Anby!"
"Understood."
Billy took a long step forward, then spun around and grabbed the charging Anby.
He hurled her like a giant pendulum.
In midair, Anby drew her steel blade and infused it with electricity. The current-wreathed blade instantly chopped the three men's submachine guns into scrap.
After that, Nicole swung her safe around and cracked each of their heads open.
Behind them, Billy drew his twin guns, spun them a few times, then fired at a fire extinguisher nearby.
A large amount of white gas sprayed out, blocking the Crimson Fang Gang's view.
"What do we do now? Which way do we go?"
"This way, this way, Nicole, Billy."
"Suspects located!!!"
Before Anby could finish calling out, Peacekeepers closed in from the other side.
"We're done for, they've got us trapped from both sides!"
"It's fine, Boss Nicole. Let's go into the building."
"Alright, we'll do it your way for now. Let's get inside."
As the smoke cleared, Old Bai and his men looked at Anby's retreating figure and shouted.
"Cunning Rabbit House~~~!!!! Y-you're so heartless—"
With a voice that sounded almost like sobbing, Old Bai swung his long blade and began fighting the charging Peacekeepers.
"Take care of these pigs first!"
"Yes!"
There were not many Peacekeepers who had arrived, and their weapons were hardly impressive.
Against Old Bai's lackeys, who were armed with firearms,
they were knocked down in just a few moves.
Elegantly pulling out a tissue, Old Bai wiped away the nonexistent tears at the corners of his eyes.
He raised an orchid finger and pointed at the building.
"After them—!"
Inside the corridor.
On the television was Bringer, the head of the Public Security Bureau near the Hollow.
At the moment, he was flusteredly accepting an interview.
The reporter beside him seemed far more relaxed, unleashing a torrent of verbal abuse.
He cursed Old Bai and the Crimson Fang Gang from their grandsons all the way back to the watchdog of their ancestors.
"Lord Herrscher of Reason! When are you getting here? I can barely hold on—"
Nicole took out her phone and sent the Herrscher of Reason a voice message.
Up in the sky.
The Herrscher of Reason, who was currently sitting atop the Blade Hidden in Its Sheath, picked her nose.
"What are you panicking for? Aren't I heading there now?"
"Wait, what? Why's there no signal? Hold on.
Old Fossil! What kind of crappy data card did you get me!!!"
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Fu Hua and Li Sushang had already arrived at the foot of Taixu Mountain.
Seeing the hardworking residents of the Outer Ring around them, Li Sushang immediately sighed with emotion.
"Wow~ It really has the feeling of back then. As expected of Ancestral Master. Even Taixu Mountain looks exactly the same~"
"Hey, Fu Hua, you're back!"
Caesar was building a canopy nearby.
When he saw Fu Hua, he stood up and said with a smile.
"Mm. How are things here?"
"Of course it's good. Seriously, this place is great. When I get tired from riding around, I can come here and cool off."
"Where are the others?"
"Ah, Paipai has already taken the first shipment into the city.
"Lucy and Bernice went to Wildfire Town to repair the damaged equipment."
As for Lighter, he's working security on the other side. After all, people from the Outer Ring all want to trade oil and minerals for food and water."
"There are quite a lot of people, so it's to prevent anyone from causing trouble."
"But since this is your territory, no one would dare act up. So he occasionally goes fishing by the pond."
After hearing this, Fu Hua nodded and waved a hand.
"Good. As long as everything is going smoothly."
"Right, and this is—"
"Hello, I'm Li Sushang, Ancestral Master's grand-disciple."
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
"Ohh~ That's amazing. Fu Hua, you even have a grand-disciple!? Hello, I'm Caesar, leader of the Children of Calydonian."
"Mm, there are char siu buns here. Would you like one?"
"Really? Thanks, then I won't stand on ceremony."
At that moment, the adorable Herrscher of Reason called Fu Hua.
"Hello, hello—Old Fossil! What do I do if my phone has no signal? I'm lost now?!"
"Uh... Little Herrscher, do you know where you are right now?"
"How would I know—wait, I think I can see that Hollow thing."
"Then you're probably almost there. Try looking around.
Nicole has pink hair, and she's with a little iron man and a white-haired girl."
"Okay, okay, got it. Wait, I think I see them. We'll talk later, I'm off—"
Stuffing her phone into her pocket, the Herrscher of Reason leaped up and rode the Blade Hidden in Its Sheath toward the building.
"Billy!"
"Leave it to me—"
In a room somewhere on the top floor.
After receiving the order, Billy drew his pistol and aimed at the floor-to-ceiling window.
Bang—
After striking the glass, the bullet followed a perfect trajectory and successfully smashed into the television on the ceiling.
The television fell and knocked Billy down.
Nicole and Anby remained remarkably calm.
"It ricocheted. The window seems very sturdy."
"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. This floor-to-ceiling window is—"
Nicole walked over to the window and knocked on it.
Suddenly, Old Bai and his men arrived.
"—Boohoo, reinforced bulletproof glass. With your firepower, it's impossible for you to break it and escape."
Old Bai leaned against the doorframe in the pose of The Thinker sitting on a toilet.
Supporting his head, he cried.
"Boohoohoo, Omnipotent Agency [Cunning Rabbit House]..."
"Why... why did you steal things on Crimson Fang Gang territory!?"
Old Bai wiped his tears as he stood up.
"This was clearly, clearly something my brothers worked so hard to... boohoo."
Suddenly, a black shadow covered everyone in the room.
Nicole, who had been about to say something, turned around.
Her pupils abruptly contracted.
"Ahhh, what the hell is that?"
"Nicole! Get down!"
Fortunately, Anby reacted quickly and pulled Nicole down with her.
Outside, the Herrscher of Reason made a graceful tailspin and crashed straight in.
The tempered glass was like ordinary glass before her Blade Hidden in Its Sheath, shattering at the slightest touch.
Crack, crack—
"Wahaha—The great Herrscher of Reason has arrived!!!"
After jumping down, the Herrscher of Reason planted her hands on her hips.
Although she had stopped, the Blade Hidden in Its Sheath had not.
It slammed straight toward Old Bai's group.
Duang—
In an instant, five or six Crimson Fang Gang lackeys holding guns were sent flying.
Old Bai, who had still been shedding tears, looked toward the Blade Hidden in Its Sheath embedded in the wall behind him.
He swallowed.
Blade Hidden in Its Sheath: What was that thing that hit me? I thought it was kelp.
Raising her head, Nicole looked at the Herrscher of Reason before her, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wonderful!! It's the great Lord Herrscher of Reason. We're saved."
"Hm~? You're Nicole, right? Since I've found you, let's hurry up and leave."
"Alright! Billy, get up already. Stop playing dead on the floor."
"Stop right there!!!! You're acting so casually—do you really think Old Bai doesn't exist!!!"
Old Bai's body trembled as he raised his long blade, pointed it at them, and roared.
Just then, outside.
An armed helicopter was drawn over by the commotion caused by the Herrscher of Reason.
"Reporting, sir. Crimson Fang Gang members detected. Scan confirms that it is the Crimson Fang Gang leader, Old Bai."
"Should we..."
Before the pilot could finish, the reporter spoke up.
"What!? You found those Crimson Fang Gang bastards? Then what the hell are you waiting for, sir?"
"Pick the biggest caliber!!!!!!
Jus—tice—shall—be—served!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room froze.
