Upon hearing the match result, XANXUS showed little reaction on the surface, but his aura grew noticeably stronger. He was clearly satisfied with the referee's announcement.
At least his side had won one back.
The current score was one win and one loss apiece.
One victory had gone to Akasaka's side.
The other victory had been claimed by XANXUS's side.
Mammon, who had been lying on a medical stretcher waiting to be carried away, instinctively turned to look at her boss—XANXUS—and said, "Give me a raise when we get back, Boss."
"Look how badly I got hurt to secure this victory."
"I also want medical compensation."
"Not much. A million or eight hundred thousand will do."
Expressionless, XANXUS walked over to Mammon on the stretcher and kicked it over, sending her rolling off it.
Then he ground his heel against Mammon's face, deforming it beneath his foot. "You still dare ask me for money?"
Mammon, pinned beneath his foot, hurriedly begged for mercy. "I was wrong, Boss!"
In that respect, she was quite similar to Akasaka.
Akasaka had treated Ayanokoji the same way, kicking him right off his stretcher.
The two of them were surprisingly alike when it came to dealing with their heartless companions.
The next match was the battle of the Rain Guardians.
Tsunayoshi Sawada had sent Takeshi Yamamoto, while XANXUS's side had sent Superbi Squalo, and Akasaka's side had sent Yuuki Asuna.
This time, the three sides had chosen a location saturated with groundwater.
The water beneath their feet reached nearly twenty to thirty centimeters deep.
Takeshi Yamamoto wore his usual harmless-looking smile, resting a bamboo sword on one shoulder as he said, "Please go easy on me, you two."
Asuna said nothing. She remained silent, merely placing a hand on the rapier at her waist.
