It had to be said that Shira really did have the backing to act so arrogantly in the Imperial City.
"You..."
Mine instinctively wanted to attack Shira.
But the next moment, she felt a warm hand close around hers.
She raised her head and looked at Uchiha Kazama, whose expression remained calm.
For some reason, a sense of reassurance rose in Mine's heart.
Then the anger she had been feeling faded away as well.
Shira saw that neither of them made another move.
The interest he had felt moments ago immediately gave way to boredom.
Women who feared his status and dared not resist were utterly dull.
They were like walking corpses.
And that man was another...
Boom!
A huge crater suddenly appeared where Shira had stood, sneering at the two of them just a moment earlier.
Shira himself had appeared fifty meters to the left.
"Lord Shira!"
Slash, slash...
The guards were horrified.
But that was the last emotion they would ever feel.
After that startled cry, their heads fell to the ground.
Only when their heads hit the ground did blood gush from their necks.
"You're the two killers in the Imperial City?!"
Shira clutched his left shoulder, staring warily at Uchiha Kazama and Mine.
He had only come along to take a casual look and keep up appearances.
He had never expected to actually run into the killer.
His luck had been good, but he had misjudged Uchiha Kazama's strength.
The instant he sensed killing intent, he had used the Imperial Arms in his hand to escape through space.
Even at that speed, his left arm had still been severed.
"Let's skip these pointless questions..."
"To be honest, if I hadn't been worried about destroying your Imperial Arms when I attacked just now, you'd already be dead."
