"Now then, let me think... what should I do next to kill some time?"
"Right. I'll just clean out every last one of those remaining in this slum."

Jietisikoki spoke as calmly as ever while slowly rising from his wooden chair.

Within the living room, a blood-red throwing knife tore through the air, shooting straight at Jietisikoki's face!
Whoosh—!
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Jietisikoki's expression shifted, his eyes immediately gleaming with both delight and divine power!
