Lin Yu smiled and nodded firmly. Tina left satisfied with the answer; she still had her own tasks to complete.

"Ann Rand, I will kill you just for daring to transform Tina like this!"

A flash of crimson light passed through Lin Yu's eyes...

[To prevent further nitpicking over translation issues, I want to reiterate that "melon bun" and "pineapple bun" are simply two different translations. If you don't believe me, just Google it. This article primarily uses the "melon bun" translation. If anyone gets banned for making a fuss about this in the book review section, don't blame me. If you had to explain a translation issue dozens of times, you'd get annoyed too!]

156. Sniping under the cover of night!

"The identities of the police officers protecting the Holy Emperor have been confirmed."

After parting ways with Lin Yu, Tina seemed like a completely different person, showing no trace of her previous dazed state as she answered the phone.

"One of the two 'heroes,' who killed Lin Yu, the Taurus, a zodiac gastrulator, ten years ago!"

Even Tina, who had carried out countless missions, was startled by the news. The news of Lin Yu's return had spread widely during the battle with Scorpio. Although few people had actually seen him, this name from China had already caused a huge uproar around the world.

"If it were him..."

"So what if it is him?" Tina was interrupted by the voice on the phone before she could finish speaking: "Putting aside whether it's true or not, even if it is, I think his abilities have huge limitations. He can't be invincible all the time. As long as you can find an opportunity, you can still take him down. Use your sniping skills!"

The person on the other end of the phone was one of the so-called 'Four Sages' who had transformed her body into its current form, an existence that Tina absolutely could not resist, even though she possessed super strength that ranked among the top 100 of all the cursed children in the world. After all, there were several 'companions' by his side whose strength was even greater than hers. His name was—Ann Rand!

All Tina could do in the face of his orders was to obey!

"Tina Sprantt, you have a new mission. On the way to tonight's meeting, prioritize killing Lin Yu, the hero protecting the Holy Emperor. He is a greater threat than the Holy Emperor. You should understand the consequences if you fail!"

This was an assassination plan with an almost negligible success rate. Her target was an entity that could defeat even the Zodiac Gastrea and freeze even tsunamis, a being beyond human comprehension. She even knew very well that Ayn Rand, who gave such an order, did not actually believe she could succeed. The greatest significance of tonight's assassination was merely an experiment. Her failure would become experience for her sisters, preparing them for the next deadly trap. That was all!

She understood all of this when she received the order, but did she have a choice?

"Yes, Master."

With a somewhat somber expression, Tina hung up the phone. Her gaze drifted to the riverside where she had spent the day with Lin Yu. Perhaps she would never have such an experience again in her life, but—

"It's so lucky to be able to enjoy this last day, but it's a pity I don't know your name, Onii-chan..."

------

"So they're targeting me?"

Not far from where Tina was answering the phone, Lin Yu, hidden in the shadows, shrugged. This outcome was not unexpected for him.

"Well, that's better this way, but I'll remember this favor."

Lin Yu is very vengeful, extremely vengeful!

Lin Yu would do everything in his power to retaliate against anyone he held a grudge against. This was true ten years ago, and it remains true ten years later. Ann Rand is practically on his kill list. Once he has settled all the issues in the Tokyo area, it will be time to settle accounts with him.

"Right now, it would be better to buy Shana some melon buns as a bribe. Maybe that way, I can avoid getting stabbed twice when I bring Tina home tonight?"

Thinking this, Lin Yu concealed his presence and disappeared from this secluded street corner. He still had to deal with the little temper of his personal body pillow at home. That girl, Xia Na, was just a little arrogant; a little coaxing would make her fine. He should go and do some preparations first!

Before going home, Lin Yu went to the market for a big shopping trip. There were several little girls at home, so he couldn't favor one over the other. The kitten was easy to take care of; having grown up alone, she was already very content as long as she was well-fed and clothed. But the other little girls were not so easy to please.

Kohina would pull out her two little swords at the drop of a hat. Without Hiruko Kagetane to keep her in check, she would cause trouble all day long. Natsume and she were the two extremes. This girl hardly ever spoke, but every time she looked at Lin Yu, her eyes would make him feel incredibly pressured. You can imagine how unbelievable it is that a lolicon would feel uneasy being looked at by a cute loli.

Moreover, although Lin Yu himself doesn't admit it, if you really had to describe Xia Shi's eyes in one sentence, it would be: "Looking at a beast!"

Lin Yu was stared at by Xia Shi without saying a word almost as soon as he got home. If it were a cute little girl like Tina, Lin Yu would probably be grinning from ear to ear, but it's really not a pleasant thing for a emotionless little girl like Xia Shi to keep staring at someone.

Yeah, especially that knowing look in his eyes.

Lin Yu endured the days as if they were dragging on until nightfall, then fled the house as if escaping. Halfway there, he suddenly realized: Damn it, this gentleman was actually looked down upon by a little girl?! He'd definitely teach that little girl a lesson later!

Although Lin Yu was on foot, he quickly arrived at the Holy Residence. To be honest, he had never understood why the talks had to be held elsewhere, and why the Holy Emperor, as the host, had to personally meet that bearded man from out of town. It seemed like the roles were reversed, didn't it? Isn't it usually the 'guest' who visits the host?

Sitting in the carriage with the Holy Emperor, Lin Yu was too lazy to delve into these messy questions and spoke casually as if it were just a casual chat.

“Saint, I might not be able to accompany you to the meeting later. Don’t be afraid of negotiating with that bearded man. As long as I’m still there, he won’t dare to do anything too outrageous. Otherwise, I’ll personally go to his hometown to kill him.”

The Holy Emperor was slightly taken aback: "Why? Uncle, aren't you coming with me?"

"Hmm, there's a lost little girl who needs my help later... Ugh, you've got me all hooked up with this again. I'm going to rescue the lost little girl soon, I don't have time to chat with that bearded guy. If that bastard dares to bully you, I'll get revenge for you later!"

The Emperor's vehicle continued to move forward. In the distance, a faint light flashed across a building, but to Lin Yu, the killing intent released by the other party was like a firefly in the dark night—inconspicuous yet clearly perceptible.

"They arrived so quickly! They really couldn't wait!"

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips. A hazy, icy blue mist gathered outside the car, and a powerful sniper bullet struck the ice crystal barrier with a crisp sound.

"Attack!"

Those who could become the Emperor's driver were no ordinary people, and he immediately shouted out, somewhat flustered.

"Stop the car. I'll handle the attack. You just need to take the Holy Emperor to the meeting place."

Lin Yu patted the driver on the shoulder, then calmly stepped out of the parked car. Before he could even stand up straight, another sniper shot flew precisely toward his head.

"A naughty little girl."

With a single flap of its wings, the magnificent ice-blue wings unfurled behind him, easily deflecting the incoming sniper bullets, and Lin Yu himself ascended into the air.

"I'll take you home tonight, Tina Sprant!"

157. Is Onii-chan Lin Yu?!

"He saw me!"

Even though Tina was on a building a kilometer away, she could almost feel Lin Yu's sharp gaze through the sniper scope. Her heart skipped a beat, and her instinct as the child of the curse frantically alerted her to leave immediately!

Tina had never imagined that even a person's gaze could be so terrifying. Even though they were thousands of meters apart, she could clearly feel the suffocating and astonishing aura rushing towards her!

"We must leave immediately!"

Tina has lost count of how many missions she has undertaken, many of which were extremely dangerous and life-threatening, but she has always managed to survive thanks to her strength and instincts.

She once had nothing. No one in the world cared about the life or death of a cursed child like her. Even in the eyes of her so-called 'master,' she was nothing more than a pawn that could be discarded at any time. Just like this time, she knew that as one of the 'two heroes,' the chances of her successfully completing the mission were almost nonexistent. But even so, her 'master' still sent her here, just for some basic information about Lin Yu.

"I can't die. I have to live. It's a promise. I can see my older brother again."

Thoughts that would never have crossed Tina's mind before now completely occupied her mind. When she fired the first shot, she was already prepared for the worst. She knew very well that if the first shot failed, the subsequent attacks would also fail, because the opponent was someone who could kill a Stage V opponent by himself!

Only now did she realize how fragile her so-called enlightenment was. Tina had always thought she was not afraid of death at all, but when faced with the gaze of the person who had spread his icy blue wings, her first thought was no longer to complete the order, but to survive.

"This building is crowded, and he's never seen what I look like. If I can blend into the crowd, I'll definitely be able to get away!"

Before carrying out the order, Tina had already considered these issues. Even though these preparations actually violated Ann Rand's orders, in order to survive and to see the older brother who had given her warmth again, she made up her mind to disobey the order for the first time in her life.

Clang!

A loud crash came from behind her. Almost instinctively, Tina dodged behind the sofa in front of her. In the next instant, countless shards of broken glass shot out like bullets from a shotgun, and the room where she was hiding was instantly filled with glass fragments.

"How is that possible!"

Shattering glass is incredibly simple, but the sheer force of the shattering is terrifying. Tina probably can't even imagine it. And this was only because Lin Yu casually flapped his wings. If he wants to take Tina back, having just an identity isn't enough. He must demonstrate enough power that Tina can rely on before she'll feel safe going home with him. Lin Yu doesn't want to see Tina living in constant fear after he takes her back.

We must escape!

Tina had never imagined that Lin Yu would arrive so quickly, so much so that 'Senfeld' had been scattered in other areas, and the only one she had with her was hit by shattered glass and was now scrap metal.

boom!

Holding the sniper rifle, Tina fired a shot almost without turning her head. Her purpose was not to kill the enemy, but merely to buy time, even if it was just for a moment. She was not far from the densely populated area, and she did not believe that someone called a hero would attack an ordinary person!

"As long as we get out of this door!"

After firing the shot, Tina didn't even have time to look back. She abandoned her sniper rifle and darted forward. If she could get out of that door, her chances of survival would greatly increase!

Click...

The biting cold made Tina's petite body tremble slightly. The door, which was just inches away, was covered with a layer of not-so-thick azure ice crystals, like frost. Tina almost didn't think twice before lightly leaping up and kicking out. With her strength ranked in the top 100 of IPs, this kick could probably kick a big crater into even a bank vault door. How sturdy could a mere wooden door covered in ice be?

Tina, who was thinking this, realized she was wrong when she actually kicked the door. She was terribly wrong.

boom!

A muffled thud was heard, and Tina forgot to breathe. She just stared blankly at the unmoving door. She knew that if she could just get past this door, she would have a chance to see her brother again. All that was in front of her was a door!

Tina's heart was screaming wildly. She could hardly believe it. The usually strong Tina didn't even notice that a few crystal tears had slipped from the corner of her eye.

"Why, why do we have to carry out this mission so soon? Even if it were just a day later, it would have been fine!"

Tina collapsed onto the cold ground, lost in thought, feeling bewildered and helpless. She was acutely aware of the vast gap between herself and the person behind her—an insurmountable chasm!

"My Tina is so cute, why is she crying like this? Who bullied you? Onii-chan will get revenge for you!"

A voice filled with righteous indignation came from behind, and a hand reached out to her cheek. There was no pain as she had expected, but she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers, and pinched her slightly chubby cheeks. Only one person in her life had ever made such an intimate gesture to her, but the more he did so, the more incredulous she became.

"Onii-chan?"

Tina's voice trembled, as if she was afraid the person behind her would deny it, but she felt a pair of large hands hug her from behind, giving her an incredibly warm embrace.

"You silly goose, it's so obvious, why do you even need to ask?"

A teasing voice came from beside her ear, and a familiar face came up from behind her and rubbed against her face.

"Wow~ My Tina's face is so amazing, so soft and smooth!"

Lin Yu wore a satisfied expression, while Tina in his arms stared blankly at him. Although their mannerisms and voices were so familiar, and although they had only met twice, they had left a very deep impression on Tina.

No matter how smart she was, she never imagined that a mission that was almost certainly a death sentence would take such a dramatic turn, and that the 'onii-chan' who had been with her for a day not long ago would become her mission target!

158. It's time to start the verbal battle!

Fear? Doubt?

All her emotions turned into grievance upon seeing Lin Yu's face. Tina turned her body slightly to the side and buried her head in Lin Yu's chest without saying a word. Lin Yu could feel the little girl's body trembling slightly in his arms.

"It's alright, it's all over now. It was my fault, I shouldn't have scared you."

Lin Yu gently patted Tina's back. He had considered admitting his identity to Tina in front of her, but that would inevitably lead to a fight. So, Lin Yu decided that it was better to play tricks and scare the girl.

There's no way around it; Lin Yu is an incurable lolicon. If he were to fight a cute loli like Tina, he might as well just be killed.

"Let your brother see your foot. Did you get hurt when you kicked the door?"

Lin Yu, always a man of action, took off Tina's shoes before even getting her consent, revealing her small feet, encased in black stockings, completely unguarded in front of him.

"Huh? Huh!"
