Bang!

The rusty door of the warehouse was kicked open once again.

Three killers donning animal masks, armed with machetes, crowbars, and electric shockers rushed in, looking menacing.

However, when they broke into the warehouse, what they saw surprised them.

The warehouse was dim.

About five metres away from them, a young man with a thin shirt posed strangely in front of them.

‘Is this a performance art?’

The three of them were incredibly confused.

Of course, professional killers will immediately return to work.

The masked man with a machete immediately took a step forward, but immediately stopped and put his machete down.

It’s not that the killer had a sudden dawning on him to repent for his sins, but their target had a cute, black gun in his hand pointed towards the three of them.

‘Impossible! They didn’t tell us he had a gun!’

The intel they got told them they were just here to kill an unarmed teenager!

The three of them aren’t even natives to Japan, they don’t even understand Japanese!

After arriving in Tokyo, these stowaways could easily be bought off the port because they can’t find legitimate jobs.

They don’t have names, they don’t have a place to call home, nobody would care for them if they died – perfect chess pieces for Sakata to manipulate.

They didn’t expect to be held at gunpoint.

They didn’t know why the boy in front of them had a gun in his hands.

‘Are all teenagers in Tokyo psychopaths?! Why does he have a gun?’

The man holding the machete knelt down as the muzzle of the gun was pointed on his head, and he heard two muffled thuds behind him.

He immediately turned his head to see his two companions unconscious, with two men-in-black holding bloodied bricks.

It’s over.

The man with the machete slumped to the ground involuntarily.

‘There’s no escape,’ he thought. His two companions were ambushed, and he is held at gunpoint.

If he doesn’t resist, maybe his death would be swift.

Of course, Ryuto didn’t plan to kill them. They are important witnesses.

“You two, tie them up and keep them under control.”

“Understood.”

Under his command, the two men immediately went to work.

It’s weird that they tied the man with the machete up like a tortoise, though.

What was weirder was they used whips to tie them up.

After the three of them were tied up, Ryuto felt like his mission was complete.

It was much easier than he imagined, too.

Ryuto thought he might have to fight the three of them.

However, all he had to do was point his pistol at them.

The three killers were subdued almost instantly.

Ryuto felt that he shouldn’t have levelled his Physique attribute up, seeing that he didn’t have the chance to use it.

When Ruri emerged from the dark and came to Ryuto’s side, he brushed his hair aside to fix his appearance.

Speaking of Ruri, Ryuto initially wanted to fight the three of them.

However, this proposal was rejected by Ruri almost instantly.

Ruri didn’t trust Ryuto to stay alive.

“Great job! Now, we have our witnesses – we can go for Sakata now.”

A relaxed smile appeared on her face.

Before she could continue with her plan, another set of messy footsteps could be heard from outside the warehouse.

“I found the warehouse! Quickly, Miss Koujiro should be in here!”

Even through the closed door of the warehouse, Ruri could hear that familiar voice.

That voice is undoubtedly her personal bodyguard who grew up with her, Izayoi Wuyi.

Wuyi was personally chosen by the gods, like an ancient bodyguard.

She has been trained as a bodyguard since young – strong in action, quick in skills and taciturn.

Wuyi’s beautiful face with delicate facial features was painted with anxiety.

‘Please, let Miss Koujiro be safe.’

Before this, Wuyi was held up by someone due to some unforeseen circumstances, so she couldn’t keep watch on her mistress for a while.

In just about ten seconds of negligence, Koujirou Ruri was kidnapped.

There was no doubt this kidnapping was well planned.

The Koujirou family upturned all of Tokyo’s organizations, swearing to excavate every single part of Tokyo if it meant finding their eldest daughter.

Wuyi was the first to locate the warehouse.

She led a shrewd and capable team to gather evidence and came to this warehouse.

Kiryu Ryuto sighed with relief.

He doesn’t have to deal with her, thankfully.

Ryuto naturally knew who she was since he played the game.

He was relaxed because he was no longer the person who kidnapped Ruri, but an ally who is assisting her.

No matter how powerful her bodyguard was, there was no reason to engage in a fight.

Ruri was about to greet them by walking towards the door, but she suddenly felt dizzy and couldn’t help but fall forward.

Ryuto instinctively dashed forward and supported Ruri, pulling her into his arms.

At this moment, the rusty warehouse door was once again kicked open.

The personal bodyguard of Koujirou Ruri stared at Ryuto grabbing at her mistress.
