Fang Cheng's entrance wasn't exactly impressive. If anything, he looked a little worse for wear.
But nobody would mistake him for some insignificant walk-on.
Uehara Takashi and Fujiwara Hirotetsu recognized him immediately.
After all, Fang Cheng was now someone the Area 11 government had to treat with extreme caution. That morning, aside from Kamikawa Takumi, who had gone to Hokkaido, the other two Aces had already received detailed files on Fang Cheng.
It wasn't that they had to know who Fang Cheng was. They had to stay on guard around a monster of Ace-level strength—especially one who lived in Tokyo.
Nest of Life, of course, needed no explanation. As a crucial test subject, all of Fang Cheng's information was constantly updated.
"Fang Cheng!"
Fujiwara Hirotetsu's voice brimmed with delight. He looked as if a father had just found the son he'd lost many years ago.
"I'm Fujiwara Hirotetsu. Come over here."
Fang Cheng ignored him completely. Without even glancing his way, he headed straight for Kanzaki Rin.
Kanzaki Rin's father instinctively stepped forward and attacked the intruder.
Fang Cheng was surprised to see a face so similar to Kamikawa Takumi's. He'd seen a family portrait of Kanzaki Rin's family in Nightmare Hell.
So this was his future father-in-law. How was he still alive and kicking?
In his surprise, Fang Cheng raised a hand and sprayed out a torrent of blood, engulfing his future father-in-law from head to toe.
"Don't..."
Kanzaki Rin opened her mouth instinctively, afraid Fang Cheng would tear her father apart.
But Fang Cheng had already recognized her father's face and wasn't about to do anything reckless. The blood he'd sprayed hardened rapidly, wrapping her father up completely like a coffin.
She breathed a faint sigh of relief, but couldn't help letting out an inward sigh as well.
