Surrounded by the branch Marines, Tsugikuni Yoriichi remained calm, paying no heed to the gun barrels aimed at him as he called out loudly to the Marines around him.
"A major from Headquarters?"
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi? Never heard of him!"
"An officer sent to inspect our branch? Why? Has our Branch 133 done something wrong?"
Yoriichi's words startled the Marines around him, and they could not help lowering the guns pointed at him. For a moment, discussion broke out everywhere.
A Marine Headquarters major was more than enough of a title for branch Marines, even if it was far from intimidating.
"Nonsense!"
"There's no such person as you among the majors at Headquarters!"
"Do it! Kill him! Don't let his words fool you!"
At that moment, the lieutenant colonel leading the Marine Branch shouted at Yoriichi. Pointing the longsword in his hand at him, he directly gave the order.
However, the Marines around them were all hesitant. No one could determine whether Yoriichi's words were true or false. He was a major from Marine Headquarters! Although his rank was lower than that of a branch lieutenant colonel, everyone knew that a Headquarters major had far better prospects.
Moreover, as the Marines looked at Yoriichi's youthful face and saw that he could remain composed beneath hundreds of gun barrels, such mental fortitude was enough to show that he was no ordinary person. What he said was probably true!
Whoosh!!
Yoriichi looked at the lieutenant colonel, his expression turning slightly cold. Without wasting words, his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood. The man seemed to sense something and was about to react when Yoriichi had already appeared before him, grabbing the lieutenant colonel by the face.
Thud!!
Without another word, Yoriichi grabbed the branch lieutenant colonel by the head and smashed him
