Night fell.
Inside a car not far away, Mugino Shizuri stared coldly at the Quantum Neural Research Institute before her.
"Are you sure our target is in there?"
"Yes, but not long ago, I lost my sensory lock on the target..."
Takitsubo Rikou hesitated, stopping and starting several times before finally speaking.
"Mugino, this is that... that person's territory. We should just forget it..."
That was right. If Mugino and the others had initially had no idea where their target had gone, then the moment they saw the sign for the Quantum Neural Research Institute, they immediately understood whose turf they had wandered into.
Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou immediately lost their nerve.
The pressure Fang Zheng had inflicted on them before had simply been too terrifying. To the two of them, his name itself was practically a psychological trauma. Although he had kindly spared them once, they were not naive enough to believe he would spare them a second time.
But for Mugino Shizuri...
"Perfect..."
Mugino Shizuri bared her teeth in a crazed grin as she looked at the Quantum Neural Research Institute.
"So it's that bastard. Perfect. Let's see what he's really capable of!"
"Mugino, you totally can't beat him!"
"Shut up!"
Mugino Shizuri snarled viciously, cutting Kinuhata Saiai off. It would have been better if Kinuhata had said nothing; the moment she brought it up, Mugino's fury flared uncontrollably. The humiliation she had suffered back then was something Mugino Shizuri could never tolerate. Like everyone else, Dragon Might had carved itself deeply into her heart, but she was not as cowardly as Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou.
The reason was simple. Whenever she recalled that scene and felt fear, Mugino Shizuri used rage to crush that instinctive terror.
Rage. Boundless rage!
She was Academy City's fourth-ranked Level
