Toga's Chance

Casino.

Toga rested her chin on her palm, looking utterly bored. She had won many hands in a row in this casino, and anyone who had spent more than five minutes there had heard of her legendary record, which meant that no one dared to challenge her now.

Toga grabbed a handful of chips, then released them, letting the mountain of chips flow freely through his hand.

There's no way around it; the lives of the rich are just that boring and dull.

Anyone else would be ecstatic to see so much money in his hands, but Himiko Toga wasn't particularly happy. For her, gambling was merely a mission; she longed more to insert the syringe from her pocket into other people's bodies than to experience the thrill of gambling...

Moreover, the money she won from gambling was not solely for her personal use, but had a more important purpose and needed to be handed over to the organization.

Jilan was right. The girl named Himiko Toga was a new member of the League of Villains, and this mission was her debut. In order to achieve her goal, she didn't mind demonstrating her value here.

Suddenly, a tired voice came from her earpiece.

"Toga, the surveillance has been brought under control, we can begin the operation."

Himiko Toga's listless eyes instantly lit up. She covered her mouth with her hand and whispered excitedly, "Hey! Little Kuro, do you mean I can start now? I can't wait!"

"... Don't call me Little Kuro." The stranger paused for a moment, then continued, "How's the situation on your end? How many people are guarding it?"

Toga glanced at the red door as if yawning. Two men in black suits were guarding the door, and another man was sitting on the sofa next to it, seemingly drinking casually. But based on Toga's observations over the past few days, he could tell that the other man was probably a leader. The evidence was that whenever he spoke, the two guards would always lower their heads.

Unfortunately Toga can't read lips and don't understand what they're saying.

After Toga told the person on the walkie-talkie about this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a way to distract the other person, or rather, a way to open the door without attracting anyone else's attention?"

"... Yes, there is, but we need to cut off their communication. Can you do that?"

"I'm in the bridge now. The crew's communication system has failed. If nothing unexpected happens, Dark Shadow and his crew should have their own communication equipment, like the walkie-talkies we declared when we boarded. It will be very difficult to block their signal."

Once the cruise ship reaches international waters, cell phone signals will be lost. If you want to contact people on shore, you will need to pay a hefty satellite phone usage fee. The ship is covered by onboard Wi-Fi, but that requires an additional fee and can only be used if the person you are communicating with also has Wi-Fi.

To enable communication between passengers traveling together, the cruise ship allows passengers to bring their own walkie-talkies. Although walkie-talkies are available for rent on board, they are heavy, bulky, and inconvenient to carry.

Dark Shadow is wealthy and powerful, and will definitely not be stingy with this sum of money.

"Is it not okay?" Toga, somewhat disappointed.

"No, it's not impossible." The man noticed a machine in the corner of the cockpit. "I have a signal transmitter here. If I modify it, it should be able to generate an EMP in reverse, creating an electromagnetic field. A brief shockwave could paralyze Dark Shadow's communication system."

"Huh, what does that mean?" Toga, somewhat confused.

"Simply put, it's an electromagnetic pulse. Kids your age should have played games about it, right? It's a weapon that can disable electronic devices," the man explained patiently. "However, if you do that, all the electronic equipment in the cockpit will be disabled, and we won't be able to contact each other anymore. You'll be on your own. The ship's control panel will also malfunction, and the cruise ship might even become inoperable."

"Huh! Did they really go all out like this!?" Toga was startled.

"But don't worry, the cruise ship that loses power should stop where it is, and the relevant agencies will notice the loss of signal immediately and send out rescue teams quickly. We're not far from Island, so they should be sending rescue ships too."

The man took a deep breath. To be honest, he had never done anything like this before, but in order to join the League of Villains and get closer to Stain, he was willing to do it.

No one will die, no one will get hurt, as long as their goal is achieved—they just need to get everything out of the room...

As the man silently pondered this, he approached the machine he had seen, took a deep breath, squatted down, took out the tool he had just found, and began to work nimbly with his hands...

"How long will it Toga asked.

"It won't be long before we can achieve that effect simply by reversing some circuits..." The man seemed very familiar with this kind of thing.

"Okay, in that case, I'll give you a signal later. We'll meet in the room after everything is over."

The man was somewhat surprised. "Don't you need my help?"

"You've done a lot already. After all, the plan can only be realized with your Quirk. Just wait for my good news!"

With that, Himiko Toga grinned and swaggered up to the two guards, feigning curiosity as she asked, "Hey, what are you two doing here? Is there something behind this door?"

As one of the few women in the casino, Himiko Toga's face had been stared at countless times by the two bored men, both openly and secretly.

When they saw Himiko Toga, they were quite surprised, and their mouths started to Hua Hua words, since Toga's face was very cute.

"Young lady, the world behind you is not something you can access. If you wish to step into the adult world, we wouldn't mind discussing it sometime."

Toga shouted, "Is there something you can't let others see? Or are you engaging in sexism? And if I heard correctly, was what you just said sexual harassment?!"

The entire casino was drawn to the scene, and people began to whisper among themselves, looking at Liang Ran with strange eyes. Whether they were crew members or tourists, engaging in sexual harassment was something that would be despised.

The two men panicked and quickly apologized with smiles, "Miss, we were just joking, please don't take it seriously..."

"Then, may I enter this room? You two are acting suspiciously; you're definitely not good people!" Toga insisted.

"This..." The two men hesitated, then looked pleadingly at the person sitting on the sofa, their direct supervisor.

The man noticed the commotion and walked over. He said calmly, "Miss, if anything has happened, I can have these two apologize to you. However, I cannot allow you to enter this room."

His gaze sharpened, and he continued, "Furthermore... please stop pretending. You know what's in this room. I saw you go in at last night's press conference."

After he finished speaking, the two men looked at Toga with suspicion. "Miss, you wouldn't be saying this on purpose just to get into this room, would you?"

If I can't get away with it, then maybe I should consider a direct assault...? Toga compared her small frame with her opponent's burly physique and immediately abandoned the idea.

His soldier-like upright posture and the murderous intent subtly revealed in his eyes meant that even if I had the confidence in myself, I would definitely be defeated.

"No, it's nothing..." Toga shook his head and was about to retreat when suddenly a loud rumbling sound came from upstairs, followed by a tremor that instantly shook the casino staff off balance, causing them to scramble for something to hold them in place!

The leader, ignoring Toga who was still there, turned his back to him and put a hand to his ear, starting to confirm the news with the other members. "What exactly happened? Who's nearby? Go check quickly! Also, has the captain issued any new instructions?"

Toga watched the other person turn his back to him, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head. He pressed the switch on the in-ear walkie-talkie, shouted, "Now!", and jumped directly onto his back. He pulled out a syringe from somewhere, wrapped one arm around the other's neck, and plunged the syringe deep into the other's upper arm!
