"So you were prepared all along? How did you recognize me?"

“That’s really not difficult.” Hanon’s tone was very gentle, even a little afraid of provoking the assassin: “You have quite a few weaknesses.”

Feeling insulted by his lack of professionalism, the assassin quickly pressed, "Oh? I'd like to hear more!"

Kanon had already taken off her American football helmet and scratched her pretty face: "Well... first of all, you impersonated Sena, which shows there's something wrong with your personality. Even if he had the courage to challenge me, it's unlikely he would have abandoned everyone who was celebrating and come directly to me. What's more, the fact that you showed up in the locker room before him makes it even more suspicious."

"Besides, Sena's family is quite ordinary. He came to the competition with his teammates by bus and got off outside the stadium. It's unlikely that they knew there were empty floors in the underground parking lot. You suggested that we compete here, so I can't not be concerned."

The assassin nodded: "It was indeed my mistake."

"Relax, if it weren't for another assassin impersonating an athlete and attacking me before, I wouldn't be so sensitive. It's not a big mistake on your part," Hanon reassured the assassin instead.

However, she quickly changed the subject: "But you also made a mistake, which was very unprofessional."

"What is it?"

Hana smiled slightly: "You still haven't realized? What I said earlier, 'Come on,' was actually in Chinese!"

……silence.

The assassin, who had been acting the whole time, realized he'd been completely fooled, which was incredibly humiliating. So embarrassed he was beyond words, the assassin didn't want to talk to Hanon and instead launched an attack, thrusting a dagger at her.

To be honest, weapon combat and unarmed combat are two completely different fields, and the differences are extremely profound. Just like humans might lose to many animals in hand-to-hand combat, but become the apex predator when armed; just like Honbu Izo, who at first glance seems unremarkable, but is known as "super combat expert" and had enough courage to attack Kanon... Of course, these are all theories, and it's not to say that a martial artist wielding weapons is necessarily stronger than a martial artist unarmed; it still depends on their skill level and condition.

This assassin was a well-known expert in the industry, but he had no chance against Huayin. His dagger missed again, and Huayin dodged away at lightning speed and disappeared from his sight.

"As expected, swift and decisive!" Recalling the description of Hanon's fighting style in the data, the assassin quickly brandished his dagger and circled around himself, not giving Hanon a chance to get close. At the same time, he looked around and began to search for Hanon's whereabouts.

But he gained nothing.

"How is that possible? They've already escaped?"

Just as the assassin began to question his existence, he suddenly felt a pair of small hands reach out from behind and grasp his head.

There's no one around, so where did these hands come from?

"A ghost..." That was the assassin's last thought. Then he felt his head shaking violently, making him weak all over, making his vision go black, and making his consciousness fade away...

Kanon didn't run away; she simply stayed hidden in the assassin's blind spot, following his movements. This technique was similar to Kiryu Setsuna's "Instant Step," but with a touch of overwhelming pre-reading. In short, it wasn't difficult for Kanon to execute. Once Kanon's movement speed was almost identical to the assassin's, their positions were relatively stationary. The waving dagger posed no threat. Kanon only needed to reach out, grab the assassin's head, and shake it quickly to inflict significant but non-fatal damage.

Having dealt with the assassin, Kanon sent a message to Mihono, asking her to pick her up, and changed her clothes in a corner of the parking lot. During this time, the assassin struggled to regain some consciousness, only to be kicked by Kanon, crushing most of his face, and fainting again.

A little while later, a small truck drove into the parking lot. Miho jumped out of the truck first and ran to Hanon's side to check if she was injured.

"I'm fine now." Hua Yin patted her, then looked at the small truck: "Where did you find this truck? It's so convenient for transporting this assassin. I was just worried about how to get him out of here!"

Miho smiled broadly: "Hehe, I'm so clever, right? As soon as I received the message, I immediately realized that the trunk of my little car couldn't fit anyone. Kanon, you're so silly, you didn't even think of that~"

Well, actually, Kanon had also considered how to get the assassin out: still in Miho's car, instead of stuffing him in the trunk, he would tie his hands and feet and put him on the back seat, with Kanon sitting next to him. If the assassin woke up in the middle of the journey, he could just give him another punch... It can only be said that Miho's cleverness saved the assassin from having eight lifetimes of bad luck and suffering a lot less.

But hearing this, Hanon became even more curious. Where did Mihoyo get a truck in such a short time? The Musashi family? Then two burly men got off the truck, one fat and one thin. The fat man was tall and fierce, while the thin man was blond and blue-eyed, and was a foreigner. These two looked more like gangsters, and it was hard to associate them with any legitimate identities.

Hana hesitated and said, "You...you look a little familiar."

Miho nudged Kanon, "Kanon, don't you remember? They're the two vice presidents of SH Frozen Foods~"

Kanon suddenly realized, "So it's from Rito's side..."

These two men, Komada Shigeru and Ivan Kalayev, were both once quite skilled fighters. After losing to Tokita Ohma, they retired from the fighting world and, together with Rito, took over SH Frozen, a shell company, to run a legitimate business. After the decisive match, Rito stayed at Takakaze's house for a while while training with Kuroki, and had called these two men over to arrange work, thus having a brief encounter with Kanon. Today, Mieko happened to use this connection.

Komada and Kalayev had both been involved in the underworld, so transporting a knocked-out assassin in a truck was no problem for them. Miho really made the right choice. Kanon instructed them to load the assassin into the truck, lock him up, and take him to the SH cold storage warehouse to lock him up until after Christmas.

After seeing the two off, Mihono finally had a chance to congratulate Kanon: "Kanon, you were amazing! Congratulations on winning the Christmas bowl!"

Kanon then put her arm around Mieko: "Let's go home and have a Christmas dinner~"

On the refrigerated truck in SH, Kalayev swallowed hard and wiped away his cold sweat: "That's Ye Huayin. Last time I was far away, so it was okay, but seeing her up close this time, the sense of oppression is terrifying. It's like I'll have a heart attack if I stay here for a few more seconds."

Komada, who was driving, sighed upon hearing this, "That's not your fault. Someone like Kanon is probably already at the pinnacle of the world, isn't she? After all, she's the champion of the Death Tournament. Even Tokita Ohma only made it to the semifinals, and Tokita easily defeated me... How many people in this world can beat me, Komada?"

Author's Note: The next chapter will be updated a little late. I have to go out to run some errands. We'll discuss it again when I get back. How many people in this world can beat Komada? 233333

Section 374, Chapter 368: Come eat dog food after Christmas!

On her first Christmas after transmigrating, Hana spent it peacefully and happily, surrounded by her lover and family. Her life was fulfilling and abundant. At this point in her life, all she could ask for was peace and tranquility. If only it were really like this.

Actually, Hanon and Mieko were a little nervous during that Christmas dinner, after all, they had a living person stored in the SH freezer warehouse~ At the table, Kirito Takakaze kept glancing at the two girls. They obviously had some little secret. If they weren't both women, Kirito would have started to wonder if Mieko was pregnant...

The short assassin was quite unlucky. Hanon and Miho were rushing home for Christmas, and Komada and Kalayev had their own lives to live. So he was left hanging in the warehouse overnight. It was warm enough because there were work clothes left by Rito in the warehouse, but don't expect Komada and Kalayev, those two rough guys, to prepare food for him. They just locked the door and went home.

The next day, Kanon still didn't visit Mr. Killer—she had intended to, but early in the morning she received a call from Hibiki Sakura: at the Christmas Eve party, Ms. Rimi gave Akemi the Tochigi Disneyland tickets she had won, and Akemi then invited Coach Machio to go along—it was practically a couple's date! Hibiki and Gina's gossip fire ignited, and they strongly urged the other fitness girls to follow and observe.

Ayaka, being rather straightforward, declined the invitation, citing her family's boxing gym needing special training. However, Satomi-sensei couldn't resist the urging and dragged her onto the bandwagon. As for Kanon, she was indifferent; she hadn't made any agreement with the assassin, so what was wrong with waiting another day to question him?

"Anyway, Komada and Kalayev will take good care of him..." Kanon didn't think too much about it and turned to go to the amusement park with her friends.

Although this Disneyland in the new world is called Tochigi, Disneyland is still Disneyland! It is quite similar to Mickey Mouse's house in Kanon's previous life, copying everything from the mascot to the amusement facilities. No, it is a very good imitation.

"Hey... Rimi-sensei, didn't you always say you were really busy at the end of the year?" Upon seeing Rimi-sensei, Kanon launched into her吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize) mode: "And why did you specifically wear a high school girl uniform to the amusement park?"

"I just don't get to wear my uniform much usually~" Rimi was in a great mood, grabbing Kanon's hand and shaking it vigorously: "Ah~ Kanon, it's so nice to have you here, I don't even need to complain anymore~"

Hanon sighed, "Hey! So what am I to you?!"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the kind of吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or

...Sigh, teachers all over the world work very hard. Kanon decided to stop talking and give the teacher in front of her some time to relax.

She turned her head and continued to admire Tochigi Disney: "Speaking of which, the construction here is really quite good. I didn't realize during the final match that Tochigi Disney was such a powerful company."

"Huh? What are you muttering about, Kanon? What are you thinking about?" Gina came closer, and Kanon had no choice but to deny it: "Nothing, I didn't say anything, I was just wondering where Akemi and Machio went."

Just then, someone shouted, "Ah, they're over there!"

Seeing Zhu Mei and Machio dressed casually in the distance, Gina and Hibiki were shocked: "Those two... there's definitely something wrong with them."

Hana asked curiously, "How did you figure that out?"

"Look, Coach Jiexiong didn't have his clothes ripped off! Isn't that super unusual?"

Hanon could only sigh and say, "The imagination of a young girl in her prime is beyond my reach."

"Just follow them and observe carefully!" Gina grabbed Hanon's hand, and the group followed Akemi and Machio as they strolled through the amusement park, only to discover...

"What? It's just a normal date." Gina was a little tired.

"Yeah." Hibiki also felt incredibly bored.

Satomi-sensei regained some of her energy for witty remarks: "What exactly are you all expecting! Kanon, why don't you tell us about them... um?"

Kanon: "Ugh, what's wrong with me? I was dragged here to eat dog food first thing in the morning..."

"Oh no, Kanon has lost her energy too!" Satomi-sensei is once again in a situation where she can't hold on alone.

As their enthusiasm waned, the efficiency of Mr. Shirogane's gym gossip group decreased significantly. In addition, the amusement park was very large and there were many tourists. Soon after, Ms. Rimi broke away from the group and walked a distance, while Kanon also separated from Hibiki and Gina.

"Where did everyone go..." Hana looked around but couldn't see anyone familiar. "Oh well, they're all mature women. It's just an amusement park, they can definitely take care of themselves."

To Hana's surprise, she wasn't without acquaintances around her.

"You are... Miss Hanon?" A staff member dressed in the mascot "Mochi" uniform awkwardly turned around, startling Hanon.

"Wait, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before... Wow! Could you be... Nezu?"

Sure enough, this "Mochi" nodded exaggeratedly: "It's me, Nezu Masami. I didn't expect Ms. Kanon to remember me~"

Please, you look so impactful! Even if I forget what Kanou, the Fang of Metsudo, looks like, I'll never forget you!

Nezu then remarked, "To be honest, I'm a little surprised that Ms. Kanon would come to an amusement park."

Hanon should be the one who's surprised! You, a giant of 221 centimeters, working in a knock-off Mickey Mouse uniform, are more astonishing than a teenage girl going to an amusement park!

"Never mind..." The exhausted Huayin didn't even want to rub her forehead: "I'm a mature transmigrator now, I really shouldn't be so easily startled."

After mentally preparing herself, Kanon put on a smile and started chatting with Nezu. The "Mochi" character at Tochigi Disney was quite approachable; if you didn't think about the super-strong man inside, chatting casually was quite relaxing.

"Ah... Adam actually became a disciple of that famous teacher Shibukawa. He'll definitely become even stronger in the future, and I'll be no match for him." In the decisive match, Adam eliminated Nezu. Their battle was quite intense, and as power-type fighters, the visual spectacle was spectacular. The two seemed to have a mutual respect for each other. Hearing Kanon talk about Adam's current situation, Nezu's tone was full of blessings.

Hanon was slightly surprised: "Oh? You've also heard of Shibukawa Takeki?"

Nezu nodded dramatically again. Unlike half the people, his huge body was tucked into "Mochi's" small uniform, and he didn't nod with his neck. Doing this action required the coordination of all the muscles in his body.

“I used to be a biker gang member, and I often had to deal with the police. Mr. Shibukawa is a martial arts instructor at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I have sparred with his students, and we all respect each other. Therefore, I admire Mr. Shibukawa.”

Now Kanon was intrigued: "Oh? So you won?"

“Yes, I won.” Nezu was also proud when talking about his past glory: “Back when I was a biker gang member, I was one of the top in Japan. I dominated Tokyo, and even the top police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department couldn’t beat me.”

Hanon chuckled upon hearing this and teased, "Heh, now that you're engaged to your girlfriend and have left the biker gang, does that mean the sky has fallen for Japanese delinquents?"

"It's not that bad, it's not that bad." Nezu's personality wasn't that arrogant, especially now that he had reformed, his temperament was even more gentle—even if he wasn't gentle, as a contestant eliminated in the first round of the finals, facing Kanon who fought to the end and won the championship, his only choice was to be humble.

Besides, he was quite objective: "The Metropolitan Police Department is full of talented people. I can beat Shibukawa-sensei's disciple, but I'm far inferior to Shibukawa-sensei himself. And then there's Aguya Kiyoaki, a fighter stronger than me, and a monster kept by the Metropolitan Police Department. Correspondingly, the underworld is also full of hidden talents. At least Hanayama Kaoru of the Hanayama Group is very powerful, and there's a long-standing rumor that he's the strongest person in the underworld. I've never fought him, so I suppose I'm no match for him."

"Oh, Kaoru Hanayama, this is the second time I've heard his legend." Kanon had heard the headquarters mention Hanayama before, so it seems he really is an extraordinary strongman.

Nezu added, "Even within the territory of biker gangs, I'm not necessarily the strongest. There used to be someone..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking. Two delinquent teenagers stood in front of Kanon and Nezu, looking thuggish and clearly up to no good.

"Speak of the devil, and he appears..." Hanon grasped Nezu's hand and made a sincere request: "You're so accurate with your words. The New Year is almost here, so please be sure to say a few auspicious words to me!"

Nezu: Wishing everyone all the best, good health, and that you be the one spreading love, not the one being fed it!

Section 375, Chapter 369: Provocation from a Delinquent

Although some people have been glorifying gangsters and delinquents in movies or literary works from decades ago or hundreds of years ago, most people in the gangster profession have never been high-class. Provoking trouble, fighting and brawling are commonplace for them, and sometimes their reasons are really ridiculous.
