"You're practically tempting fate. You really shouldn't be so confident."
Fang Cheng smiled, pulled Dojigiri Yasutsuna from his shadow, and handed it to Kanzaki Rin as she hurried over. "Here's your chance to take revenge with your own hands."
Kanzaki Rin's expression was solemn as she reached out and took Dojigiri Yasutsuna.
The blade, white as snow, carried a chill that made goose bumps rise on the skin.
Fujiwara Hirotetsu couldn't recognize the sword, but from Fang Cheng's expression, he could tell that Fang Cheng seemed to have absolute faith in it.
"Stop!"
An Optical Drone shouted down at Fang Cheng and Kanzaki Rin from the sky. "I'm Prime Minister Natsukawa Keishin. We can talk!"
"Do it!"
Fang Cheng didn't even glance up. He simply told Kanzaki Rin to act.
They were already mortal enemies; there was no way to reconcile. The prime minister's personal intervention was only meant to buy time.
Kanzaki Rin didn't hesitate. She turned the blade point toward Fujiwara Hirotetsu and drove it fiercely into his head.
The blade slid into his skull with ease.
"I never thought my life would end here."
Fujiwara Hirotetsu faced death with remarkable calm. He neither screamed nor wept. Only a faint shadow passed through his eyes.
"It's a shame I never got to see the endpoint of life's evolution."
His voice grew quieter and quieter, until it faded away.
Even as his enemy, Fang Cheng had to admit that Fujiwara Hirotetsu's composure in the face of death surpassed that of most powerful people.
"You two!!"
In the underground bunker, Natsukawa Keishin's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body trembled, fury blazing in his chest.
"You've trampled on the dignity of the Area 11 government. You'll pay for this..."
Smack!
Before he could finish, the drone was smashed to pieces.
