"Cunning Rabbit House! If you've got the guts, don't run—!"

Old Bai yelled furiously from behind.

"If we had the guts, we would have fought you already. Why would we run, you idiot!"

Suddenly, several figures appeared in front of the trio.

At first glance, they were Old Bai's lackeys.

Chambered submachine guns were aimed at Nicole and the others.

"Anbi!"

"Got it."

Billy took a large stride forward, then turned and grabbed Anbi as she lunged.

He threw a giant wrecking ball.

In mid-air, Anbi drew her steel blade, enchanted it, and the current-wrapped blade sliced through the trio's submachine guns, shattering them.

Afterward, Nicole swung the safe and smashed it into each of the three men.

From behind, Billy drew his dual pistols, spun them a few times, and fired at a nearby fire extinguisher.

A large amount of white gas sprayed out, obscuring the vision of Old Bai's gang and the others.

"What do we do now? Where do we go?"

"This way, this way, Nicole, Billy."

"Suspects found!!!"

Before Anbi could even finish calling out, Peacekeepers surrounded them from the other side.

"We're done for, surrounded!"

"It's okay, Boss Nicole, let's go inside."

"Alright, let's do that. We'll go inside."

As the smoke and dust cleared, Old Bai and his group watched Anbi's retreating back and roared.

"Cunning Rabbit House~~~!!!! You, you heartless bastards—"

A voice that sounded like crying but wasn't came out. Old Bai swung the long saber in his hand and charged at the approaching Peacekeepers.

"Let's take care of these cops first!"

"Yes!"

Since there weren't many Peacekeepers, and their weapons weren't particularly sophisticated.

They were quickly taken down by Old Bai's subordinates wielding firearms.

Elegantly pulling out a tissue, Old Bai wiped away nonexistent tears from the corner of his eye.

He extended a delicate finger and pointed at the building.

"Chase them—!"

In the corridor.

The television was showing the head of the Peacekeeper bureau near the Void, Bringer.

He was being interviewed helplessly.

The reporter next to him seemed more composed, unleashing a barrage of words.

They cursed Old Bai and the Crimson Fang Gang from their grandchildren all the way to the ancestors' watchdogs.

"Herrscher of Reason, when are you arriving? I can't hold on much longer—"

Nicole took out her phone and sent a voice message to the Herrscher of Reason.

In the sky.

The Herrscher of Reason, who was sitting on Sheathed Sword, picked their nose.

"What's the hurry? Aren't I heading over there?"

"Whoa, what the—the internet's down? Hold on a sec.

Old Fossil! What kind of data card did you get me, you useless piece of—!!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Fu Hua and Li Sushang had arrived at the foot of Taixu Mountain.

Looking at the diligent figures of the common folk in the Outer Ring, Li Sushang exclaimed.

"Wow~ It really feels like the old days. As expected of the Ancestral Master. And Taixu Mountain is exactly the same too~"

"Yo, Fu Hua, you're back!"

Caesar was building a canopy nearby.

After seeing Fu Hua, she got up and said with a smile.

"Mhm, how are things here?"

"Of course, by the way, this place of yours is really nice. I got tired from riding around and could come here to cool off."

"Where are the others?"

"Sigh, Paipai has already transported the first batch of goods to the city.

"Lucy and Bernice went to Wildfire Town to repair the damaged equipment."

As for Light, he's working as a security guard on the other side. After all, everyone else in the Outer Ring wants to exchange oil and minerals for food and water."

"There are a lot of people, just in case there's trouble."

"But then again, this is your territory, so no one will act out. That's why he occasionally goes fishing by the fish pond."

After listening, Fu Hua nodded and waved her hand.

"Good, as long as everything goes smoothly."

"By the way, this is--"

"Hello, I am the Ancestral Master's grand-disciple, Li Sushang."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"Oh oh~ That's amazing, Fu Hua, you even have a grand-disciple!? Hello, I'm Caesar, the leader of the Children of Calydonian."

"Mhm, there are char siu bao here, do you want to eat?"

"Really, thank you, I won't be polite."

At this moment, the cute Herrscher of Reason called Fu Hua.

"Hello, hello, hello-- Old Fossil! What do I do if my phone has no signal, I'm lost right now?!"

"Uh... Little Herrscher, do you know where you are now?"

"How would I know-- Wait, I think I see that Void thing."

"Then you're almost there, you can look around.

Nicole has pink hair, and there's a small iron man and a white-haired person."

"Ok ok, I got it, wait, I think I see them, I'm hanging up now, I'm going-- "

Tucking her phone into her pocket, the Herrscher of Reason jumped up and flew towards this building, stepping on Sheathed Sword.

"Billy!"

"Leave it to me-- "

In a room on the rooftop.

Upon receiving the order, Billy took out his pistol and aimed it at the floor-to-ceiling window.

Bang--

After the bullet hit the glass, it followed a perfect trajectory and successfully smashed into the TV on the ceiling.

The TV fell, and Billy was taken down.

Nicole and Anbi were very calm.

"It ricocheted, the window seems very strong."

"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that simple, this floor-to-ceiling window is-- "

Nicole walked to the window and knocked on it.

Suddenly, Old Bai and the others arrived.

"--Ugh, reinforced bulletproof glass, you can't break through it and escape with your firepower."

Old Bai sat in a pose like The Thinker on a toilet, leaning against the door frame.

He propped his head up and cried.

"Wuwuwu, Omnipotent Agency [Cunning Rabbit House]..."

"Why... why steal things on the Crimson Fang Gang's turf!?"

Old Bai wiped his tears and stood up.

"This clearly, this clearly took my brothers so much effort to... sob"

Suddenly, a dark shadow obscured everyone in the room.

Nicole, who was about to say something, turned her head.

Her pupils contracted sharply.

"Ahhh, what the heck is that."

"Nicole! Get down."

Fortunately, Anbi reacted quickly and pulled Nicole down with them.

Outside, the Herrscher of Reason made a graceful tail whip, crashing directly inside.

The original tempered glass was like ordinary glass under her Sheathed Sword, shattering with a single touch.

Crackling--

"Wahoohoo-- The great Herrscher of Reason has arrived!!!"

After jumping down, the Herrscher of Reason placed her hands on her hips.

Although she had stopped, Sheathed Sword had not.

It crashed directly towards Old Bai.

Duang--

Instantly, five or six Crimson Fang Gang members holding firearms were sent flying.

Old Bai, who had been crying, looked behind him at Sheathed Sword, embedded in the wall.

He swallowed.

Sheathed Sword: What hit me? I thought it was seaweed.

Looking up, Nicole's eyes lit up as she saw the Herrscher of Reason before her.

"That's great!! It's the great Herrscher of Reason, we're saved."

"Mmm~? You must be Nicole. Since we've found who we're looking for, let's hurry."

"Alright! Billy, get up, stop lying on the ground."

"Stop right there!!!! You're acting so casually, do you really not take me, Old Bai, seriously!!!"

Old Bai trembled, pointing his long sword at the people before him and roaring.

Just then, outside.

An armed helicopter was attracted by the commotion caused by the Herrscher of Reason.

"Report, sir, Crimson Fang Gang members detected. Scans confirm it's Old Bai, a leader of the Crimson Fang Gang."

"Should we..."

The pilot hadn't finished speaking when the reporter interjected.

"What!? You found those bastards from the Crimson Fang Gang? Then what are you waiting for, sir?"

"Select the largest caliber!!!!!!

Jus--tice--is--served"

As the words fell, the people inside the house were stunned.
