Knight: A freak start, seizing the power of the king.

Without the data from the Magic Box, Faust's usefulness is greatly diminished.

If the Slammer technology cannot be perfected, the final plan will not be completed, and all previous investments will be in vain.

"Hmm." Nanba Juzaburo nodded slightly, loosening his grip on his cane a little.

"Whoo~"

Utsumi also sensed the relaxed atmosphere and let out a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Namba Juzaburo spoke again, asking, "Have you completed the investigation task I assigned you earlier?"

Since leaving the Sawa family last time, Nanba Shigesaburo has ordered Utsumi to investigate Qi Ling.

Since there is no information about this person in the east, west, and north, let's look abroad. As long as the person is alive, they can always leave some clues about their activities.

"I'm sorry, President, I haven't gotten anything yet."

Utsumi, who had just relaxed a little, immediately tensed up again, his expression becoming even more ashamed.

In order to investigate Qi Ling's identity, he even went through diplomatic channels and posted high rewards on websites in various countries, but so far he has not obtained any information.

Qi Ling is a person who seems to have appeared out of thin air; he's too strange.

Uchihachi even began to suspect that Qi Ling was not actually human, but a highly intelligent monster created by human hands.

But in the whole world, besides Namba Heavy Industries and Faust, who else could manufacture it?

This problem is really troubling him.

"Utsumi, help me rearrange my work schedule. I want to see Qi Ling in person again." Nanba Juzaburo seemed to have made up his mind.

"Absolutely not!" Utsumi immediately stood up, ready to stop him.

The last time I met Qi Ling, two of my bodyguards died. It was too dangerous.

What if something unexpected happens today...

The entire Namba Heavy Industries will be leaderless!

Do you think that I didn't get any other benefits from sponsoring Faust with so much money?

Nanba Juzaburo chuckled softly, then pulled open the desk.

A brand-new transformation smoke gun was revealed, along with several full bottles belonging to Xidu.

"Please notify the Namba headquarters and have them send a few soldiers over to be users of the smoke system."

"Yes."

……

The next day.

early morning.

Kiryu Sento and Banjou Ryuga disguise themselves as repairmen and infiltrate the Tokyo official research institute.

The institute no longer has Pandora's box, causing its value to plummet. Most of the internal guards have been transferred, leaving only one-tenth of the usual staff.

Their infiltration plan couldn't have gone more smoothly.

They easily slipped into the depths.

"There really is a hidden floor."

War Rabbit was walking in an underground passage.

Following Qi Ling's tip, Zhan Tu investigated the research institute's map and indeed found the entrance to the floor.

The entrance was deliberately blocked, most likely by Faust.

"I wonder where all those full bottles and jars will be hidden?"

"Yes, I'm also very curious about where the full bottle was hidden."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind, and a person wearing cobra armor appeared beside him.

Blood dive!

"Don't be nervous, my purpose today is not to fight. How about we cooperate?" Boss E raised his hands cleanly, indicating that he had no weapons.

"Cooperation?" The two were puzzled.

"That's right, it's all because of that wretched Qi Ling, he really screwed me over."

After being evacuated from Faust yesterday, Himuro Gentoku, whose heart was deeply wounded, felt that someone around him wanted to frame him.

So they simply hid the full bottle along with the panel.

Since Huande no longer trusts him, it means that he will have fewer opportunities to cause trouble in the future, and the benefits he can gain will be reduced.

E then decided to steal the full bottle and panel, and terminate his cooperation with Huande.

All of this was caused by Qi Ling betraying Huan De too many times.

At this time.

Another figure emerged from around the corner of the passage.

"I never imagined that you, Bloodlurk, would ultimately choose betrayal."

Night Lord looked at Bloodseeker with a deep, resentful gaze, his expression filled with disappointment beneath his mask.

Betrayed by Qi Ling multiple times, Himuro Gentoku was finally driven to the point of paranoia.

This time, he secretly kept watch near the full bottle, and he actually managed to catch Blood Lurk.

"Although I hate Qi Ling, it is thanks to him that I have seen your true colors."

He never expected that among Faust's three leaders, he was the only one who wasn't a traitor.

An honest man has become dishonest.

"Fuck me!"

With a wave of his hand, Night Lord sent the defenders hidden underground swarming forward.

"Sento, you guys run! I'll stop Night Hare!"

As E spoke, he brandished his smoke sword and immediately engaged Night Lord in battle.

"Who needs your protection?" Zhan Tu sneered.

He simply clipped the Build Driver to his waist, along with a mechanical dragon and a Dragon Bottle.

"Cross-Z Dragon! (The End of the Dragon!)"

"Are you ready?"

"Transform," said War Rabbit.

"Wake Up Burning! Get Cross-ZDRAGON!"

"Yeah~"

With the armor merging from front to back, Sento transforms into Kamen Rider Cross-Z.

Chapter Fifty-Three: Defeat, a Major Crisis for Honest Men!

"What a powerful force!"

Sento felt the energy filling his body.

Although it was just a full bottle, the power of its energy surpassed that of the basic Rabbit Tank form, and even approached that of the Bubble Rabbit Tank it had just created.

"But this power is not well-suited to me. To unleash its full potential, my danger level needs to be at least 4.0."

After a moment's thought, Sento looked at Nightbreaker not far away.

Although I can't use my full strength, it's enough to defeat him.

After a moment's thought, a one-handed longsword appeared in Zhan Tu's hand.

The Sound Terminator is a weapon developed by Sento specifically for Cross-Z.

"on!"

Wielding his sword, he sliced ​​through an approaching defender with a single strike.

"As expected of Katsuragi Takumi, he can transform even with just a full bottle." E-President praised Sento's strength while fighting.

"Don't call me that." Then, he and E each took one side and began their attack.

Himuro Gentoku, however, was not intimidated at all and raised his smoke rifle.

"For the sake of the Eastern Capital, for the sake of Faust, I will kill both of you completely!"

He roared wildly and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

At the same time, a steady stream of defenders began to emerge from the surrounding area.

To protect Faust's future, Gend had dispatched a considerable force to act as guardians of the panels and the full bottle.

Da da da! !

Clang, clang, clang! ! !
