I Got Little Red Riding Hood

"Speaking of betrayal... well, I can do it too!" Toga readily raised her hands, grinning, "I surrender, now I'm one of you!"

"Surrender?" Toga suddenly said this, leaving Adams somewhat amused and exasperated. "So straightforward? Aren't you going to reconsider? Aren't you currently undergoing a test from their organization?"

The Clones twirled its cane, looking at Toga with a mocking gaze. "Hey, you must be faking it. In my memory, you're not the kind of person who surrenders easily."

"I value my life very much, but you..." Toga glared at the Clones, covering her face and blushing. She smiled, seemingly embarrassed, "You even told you this kind of thing, so, Grandpa, do you also know my measurements...?"

"How could that be?" Adams shrugged, smiling as he looked at Toga. "Miss Toga has an excellent sense of self-preservation. Apart from some information related to your current plan, she won't even reveal her birth date."

Toga glanced at Adams with some surprise. They were clearly enemies, yet Adams was intentionally leaking information to her. Why was that...?

"That kind of thing has nothing to do with the present. I don't care whether her surrender is genuine or not." Alain walked out from the corner of the cargo hold, looked at Toga's Clones, and sneered. "What, worried that her surrender will stop our deal? Then rest assured, we merchants are very trustworthy and will definitely help you achieve your goal."

"More importantly... where exactly did you hide Little Red Riding Hood?" Adams asked.

"I don't know, wasn't she kidnapped by the Big Bad Wolf?" Toga tilted his head, seemingly confused. "Huh? Weren't you Dark Shadow sending people to hunt me down? Little Red Riding Hood was taken by them halfway through..." At this point Toga realized something and covered his mouth, chuckling, "Hehe, I know! You've been tricked! Those who were hunting me didn't report to you; they kept Little Red Riding Hood for themselves!"

The Clones crossed its arms and snorted coldly. Adams frowned, as if realizing something, then smiled again.

"Don't tell such lies anymore." Alain looked at Toga was nodding earnestly, and said coldly, "I've been observing the way you entered the room. You had a smile on your face, clearly a smile of accomplishment. That means you've achieved your goal, right? In other words, Little Red Riding Hood is in your hands, or at least, you know where Little Red Riding Hood is."

Alain had been hiding in the room from the beginning, observing everything that happened there like a spectator, paying particular attention to Toga's micro-expressions as he entered the room. At this moment Toga's clumsy lie was mercilessly exposed by him.

"Oh dear, we've been found out." Toga casually, seemingly unconcerned about the situation, even stretching lazily. "But, one thing is true, Little Red Riding Hood isn't in my hands; she's in the hands of another group..."

Another group...

"Impossible. Our people have already secretly investigated this ship, and there is no organization hostile to our Dark Shadow." Alain asserted without hesitation.

He frowned at Himiko Toga, "Although we don't know which organization you belong to yet, I don't think they'll break ties with the Shadows over Dark Shadow like you... Now is your only chance, tell me where Little Red Riding Hood is."

Adams casually advised, "Miss Toga, you've only just joined that organization, haven't you? There's no need for you to suffer unnecessary torment."

"Stop rambling. If you don't speak, I'll make you say it yourself." "Toga" revealed a somewhat morbid smile. "After all, it's me. I know your sensitivities perfectly well."

Toga was startled. "Oh no! So even if I tell you the news, you still won't let me go? You really have the heart to do that to a girl!?"

Toga protested a couple of times, but seeing the silence on the other side, she snorted angrily and said, "Fine, I'll tell you the news then! Little Red Riding Hood is in the hands of U.A. High School now!"

"U.A. High School, All Might!?" Adams frowned, looking at Alain. "You Dark Shadow have even dealt with Pro Hero?"

In this chaotic world, there's a tacit rule among the underworld: never extend your reach to the Celestial Empire or Japan. Because of their terrifying military strength and unfathomable depths, Celestial Empire is a country mercenaries want to flee from; no one dares to lay a hand on it. As for Japan, they fear the man who single-handedly brought peace to the world— All Might.

That being said, ever since the League of Villains attacked U.A. High School in Japan, many organizations have been itching to stir up trouble, eager to plunge this country, which has enjoyed decades of peace, back into chaos. Regardless of their private intentions, no organization other than the League of Villains dares to openly declare hostility towards All Might.

Speaking of which, to actually dare to launch such a large-scale attack on U.A. High School, the leader of the League of Villains is really audacious. If All Might weren't now a teacher, his righteous Tekken would have already slashed those League of Villains of Villains' faces...

Although Adams was United Kingdom, he had heard about these things and suspected that Dark Shadow was one of them. If that were the case... he would have to sever all ties with Dark Shadow as soon as possible, after all, he was a positive figure who needed to appear in public frequently.

Alain had also considered this, and he said helplessly, "We're not those crazy people. At least while All Might is still around, the Dark Shadow won't do anything out of line. Besides, All Might's activity level is much lower than before, so you don't need to be so nervous."

Just then, Toga burst into a nervous laugh.

"Hehe... What a bunch of cowards! They turned pale just from a name. Stain is definitely someone I should follow..." Toga face, as she looked at her Clones. "Hey, you think so too, don't you...?"

As expected, he was the one who knew himself best. Toga's Clones frowned and sneered, "Don't be fooled by her. She's talking about the group of students from U.A. High School on the ship, not All Might!"

Alain clapped his hands approvingly and said, "I see. Using the sense of justice of the U.A. High School. students to move Little Red Riding Hood, while he himself escaped the encirclement and arrived at the rendezvous point, is a really good plan."

Suddenly, he stopped clapping and laughed, "But have you ever thought about something... what if... those U.A. High School. students couldn't protect Little Red Riding Hood?"

"Students from U.A. High School... Are those people on the ship?" Adams turned to a short man to confirm; he was the one in charge of intelligence gathering for Dark Shadow.

The man immediately responded, "According to the boarding records, two first-year students from the U.A. High School. Hero Course were working on the ship, and four second-year girls from other courses were on this flight to go to Island II!"

Upon hearing the man's report, Toga blinked in surprise. As far as she knew, there should have been two more U.A. High School. members... However, Toga did not point out the man's mistake, nor did Clones clone, who stood to the side with her arms crossed, seemingly having no intention of reminding the Dark Shadow.

"Captain!" The man in charge of reporting rushed in from the other side of the corridor, "Someone has reported that they've got Little Red Riding Hood!"

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Where are they?" Alain asked anxiously.

"Behind me!" the man panted, turning to look behind him.
