Leaving the obsessed Kintaro aside for now, Reiko and Tetsuhiro's race continued.
Rather than a race, it was more of a romantic chase.
Reiko now understood what she was feeling. Her heart was fluttering!
It was love! A love stronger, hotter, and more heart-pounding than what she felt for Lord Meteor!
What she wanted most now was to conquer this man! To win his heart and make him feel the same intense love for her.
The urge to conquer him rose within her and kept growing, even though she knew how difficult it would be. Even at full throttle, she still couldn't catch Mr. Li.
But that was just how she was. The more unattainable something was, the more she wanted it! The more she wanted to make it happen!
Tetsuhiro saw what was happening to Reiko and was secretly delighted.
He hadn't expected another pleasant surprise. Although he had considered winning her over, he hadn't imagined it would go this smoothly.
Everything had simply fallen into place without a hitch.
"Want to conquer me? You've got a long way to go."
Although Tetsuhiro was now drenched in sweat and panting for breath, he still ran at top speed.
His speed hadn't suffered in the slightest.
That was thanks to the potions Tobirama had developed and the Stamina Enhancer he had drawn. With his former speed and stamina, he could never have managed this.
Ultimately, he was still human. His strengths lay more in using techniques and skills. His body's recovery and strength were decent, but his speed and stamina still fell far short.
Thinking of that, Tetsuhiro suddenly remembered that he had originally intended to meet up with Madara to discuss growing stronger and eliminating Isshiki. How had he ended up losing himself in the pleasures of female company?
