"Perhaps it's true, as the teacher said... From now on, we're all enemies." Inuyama Kasumi bowed.

Angers picked up his suitcase and turned to leave. Just then, he heard a faint metallic clanging sound overhead, and murderous intent rained down from the sky!

Everyone instinctively looked up, but no one could figure out the source of this murderous aura.

"coming!"

Xia Mu's expression changed drastically.

To Shizuko, who was standing casually beside him, Natsuki seemed like a lion that had suddenly erupted.

The gunshots were deafening, and the barrage of bullets sliced ​​down diagonally, cleaving the entire dance floor in two.

The gun is fixed to the red-toothed eaves of the roof of Tamamo-no-Mae. It is a large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun with bullets that can reach twice the speed of sound when they leave the barrel. It is triggered by an automatic device.

Two machine guns, each with a double-mounted design, were firing at four different angles, covering an area of ​​several dozen square meters.

There was nowhere to escape.

Angers had no intention of escaping. He planned to use his folding knife to deflect each bullet. He might be fast enough, but the relentless impact of the bullets would put immense pressure on him.

At this moment, Inuyama He, who had activated his ninth-tier 512x speed, pounced on him, using himself as a human shield to block Angers.

Everything seemed to slow down in Xia Mu's eyes.

He accepted Tachibana Masamune's request to come here and receive Angers, all for this moment!

Inuyama He is loyal to his family, devoted to his teacher, and even to Natsuki, he is a dutiful ally.

How can we not save such an idiot?

"Om."

The bronze domain suddenly enveloped the entire Tamamo-no-Mae. In everyone's eyes, the barrage of comments slowed down, gradually suspending in the air and no longer falling.

Xia Mu stood in the center of the stage, looking up at the ceiling. The golden boy, resembling molten lava, stung the girls' eyes.

The roof of Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly burst open, and a light rain fell, pattering on the mottled red silk.

The two machine guns were forcibly pulled out and slowly lowered into Xia Mu's hands.

"It's a bit heavy..."

Xia Mu's hands sank, and he couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Idiot! Get off me now!"

Angers' slightly annoyed voice rang out.

When Natsuki turned around, Inuyama He was still lying on Angers in a posture reminiscent of someone about to be executed.

"I've always been an idiot, the teacher knows that."

Inuyama He struggled to his feet. Although Natsuki had moved quickly enough, he had still been grazed on the leg by shrapnel.

The beautiful girls immediately rushed over to support their godfather, the head of the family.

Inuyama He waved his hand, signaling them to step back.

He looked up and saw bullets hovering in the sky, as if he were looking at a starry sky.

"You're really amazing, Xia-kun."

Shouldn't you thank them first for saving your life?

"You're welcome."

Inuyama He bowed deeply to him, saying, "From this moment on, the Inuyama family is completely loyal to you."

"Fool."

Angers cursed without expression.

"I'm just an idiot..."

Chapter 296 Setsuko

[Rescue mission, completion rate 20%.]

[Sakurai Akira, Aso Makoto, and Inuyama Hea have successfully completed the rescue. Reward: 20% Dragon Evolution Solution.]

Xia Mu silently processed the information in his mind and walked out of Tamamo-no-Mae with Angers.

They no longer need to worry about the machine gun ambush; Inuyama He will naturally do his best to find out.

Even if the source cannot be traced, a large number of suspicious people will be replaced.

Xia Mu, however, scratched his head at Shizuko, who was following closely behind him: "Why are you following us?"

“The head of the family said that there are many spies around now, and neither you nor he have many people you can trust, so he asked me to be your contact person.”

Shizuko bowed respectfully.

The scene where Xia Mu single-handedly blocked thousands of bullet comments just now shocked everyone, including her.

"If there's no one I can trust, how can I trust you?" Xia Mu asked, bewildered.

"Hahaha…"

For some reason, Angers suddenly burst into laughter. "Xia Mu, even though you've come to work in the underworld, you still don't understand some of the unspoken rules of the underworld."

"What unspoken rules?" Xia Mu scratched his head.

Shizuko's pretty face turned bright red, and her gaze wandered around, not daring to look at him.

“Once I’ve given her to you, she’s yours. You can do whatever you want with her.” Angers smiled ambiguously.

Xia Mu was speechless: "Even if I do anything for her, that's a different matter from trusting her, isn't it?"

Angers laughed again: "Didn't Ahe just give you a box and tell you to use it properly?"

Xia Mu had been thinking about the system prompts and hadn't noticed them, so he took the box out and asked, "What's inside?"

Shizuko's face turned from red to white, and she lowered her head, her body trembling slightly.

“Ahe was going to explain to you, but you just stuffed it in your pocket and led me away. He probably thought you knew everything.”

Angers shook his head and smiled, "There's medicine in there, medicine to control this girl. If she doesn't get the antidote every month, it will take effect. She might not die, but she will definitely be in excruciating pain. That's the underworld's method."

Xia Mu frowned deeply: "So this is how it is? This is how Inuyama He developed his family. How can so many girls be willing to recognize him as their godfather?"

"The head of the family has been very kind to us, and this isn't poison..."

Sezuko couldn't help but defend Inuyama He, saying, "It used to be poison, but the head of the family changed it to... that kind of medicine. If we want to continue being stars and don't want to become promiscuous, then we have to obey."

"You call this good?" Xia Mu's lips twitched.

“Ah He is quite honest, which is really good, considering they are in the underworld.”

Angers said calmly, "It's because he no longer uses drugs that he doesn't have many people he can trust. This girl is probably the person he trusts the most now."

"Then why are you willing to give it to me?" Xia Mu glanced at Shi Jinzi.

"That's sincerity."

Angers said leisurely, "I didn't expect you to actually make a name for yourself here. Although you're using the name of the Uesugi family, your own strength and ideas are strong enough. That Tachibana Masamune must be having a lot of trouble with you, right?"

Xia Mu shrugged: "It may seem like I'm being aggressive and pressing, but it's actually not very effective. This is a very deep pool, and we can't be careless until the very end."

He looked at Angers seriously and said, "Principal, although your Time Zero is indeed powerful, this place is really dangerous. I don't think you should get involved in this mess."

"I'm not coming, and I'm leaving everything to you?"

"If the principal trusts me enough."

No, I don't trust it.

Shizuko looked up in surprise, watching the two men, one old and one young, silently staring at each other.

Xia Mu was the first to look away, and sighed, "It's only right, after all, I don't know what stance I will take in the future."

Angers smiled slightly: "At least for now, our positions are aligned."

"That's why I was planning to take you to see someone. He's an old guy who knows everything, and maybe he can help you." Xia Mu shrugged.

The subtle tension between the two vanished.

Shizuko subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

As for you… um…

Xia Mu glanced at her and said, "Then stay and teach me swordsmanship. Your timing and technique in that attack last time were excellent."

Sezuko lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly: "In the end, you forcibly broke it with your power."

"Humph."

Jormungandr snorted in his mind.

Xia Mu ignored Angers and continued walking forward.

"Hey, you're not getting tired of the old one, are you?!"

As a result, Jormungandr started babbling on and on.

"You haven't finished off Uesugi Erii yet, are you planning to target someone else?"

"Or are you not confident you can melt that ice, so you're practicing your technique first?"

Xia Mu's forehead veins throbbed.

"Why don't we give her the medicine? I just heard that Inuyama He has that kind of medicine. If we give it to Uesugi Erii, she'll be willing."

"You can't be fickle, or I...Xia Mi will be unhappy!"

Xia Mu rubbed his temples.

"It's you again... uh, Angers?!"

Finally arriving at the alleyway left over from the old era, Uesugi first saw Natsuki, and then saw Angers walking in by lifting the curtain. He cried out like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"You actually sold ramen in a place like this all this time. I didn't believe you when Natsuki told me."

Angers sat down without a word, waving his hand, "I haven't had a proper meal tonight, so I'll have a bowl of ramen, your best kind."
