"Aerial acrobat? What the hell?!"

The bizarre situation wasn't over yet. With a series of loud thuds, a second person was also sent flying into the sky, followed by a third, a fourth...

Hanon quickly looked into the room—"Huh? What's going on at Tokyo Electric Power Company?!"

Indeed, the one fighting the guardians inside the gate is Julius, the fighter representing Toyo Electric Power. For some reason, this guy has gone berserk and is frantically attacking everyone around him.

Fortunately, Hanon understood some of what Julius was muttering to himself. It turned out that Julius had also become Hayami's pawn. After the plan started, he was completely ignored and it seemed that they were going to use him as a scapegoat. Julius had nowhere to vent his anger and could only vent his frustration by hitting people randomly.

"I can't afford to mess with him, I'm outta here." Although Julius was injured by Wakatsuki, his physique was still impressive. As long as he could still move, he was by no means weak. Kanon didn't want to provoke him, so she crouched down and was about to sneak over quietly.

Unfortunately, a thug from Tokyo Electric Power Company flew over and crashed into Kanon. Although it didn't cause any serious injury, Kanon couldn't hide anymore.

Having found a new target, Julius shook off the people from Tokyo Electric Power Company and charged straight towards Kanon...

Turning the corner, another battle was raging in the corridor not far away. Aside from the Tokyo Electric Power Company's thugs, the rest were all familiar faces: Wu Juexiong, Wu Lianyi, and Wu Jueqi from the Wu clan, and of course, the adorable Wu Garuda. They too had encountered an attack from Tokyo Electric Power Company, accompanied by Garuda's little sister Elena Robinson and the nurse Yoshizawa Kokomi. These two girls had come out to relax after the match and, instead of staying in the infirmary, had escaped potential danger. The Wu clan members were far more powerful than the wounded in the infirmary, and they swiftly defeated the attacking Tokyo Electric Power Company subordinates.

Wu Jueqi knocked down the last enemy with one punch and began to think about more things: "Grandpa mobilized fifty clansmen to help the chairman of the film source association. They are probably already at the top level. It's really worrying. I hope nothing bad will happen."

Wu Lianyi comforted him, "Don't worry, the film source association has made good arrangements, and our clansmen have sufficient strength. I was originally worried that Lei An would cause a big disturbance, but now that he has been severely injured by Fulavo, he can't cause too much trouble."

Finally, Wu Juexiong, as the elder, said, "Now we don't have to worry about Lei'an causing trouble anymore. Instead, we have to worry about him rushing out to cause trouble. He's still recovering from his serious injuries. Will he get hurt by the people from Dongdian? Garuda, are you alright?"

Garuda also defeated her opponent. She was a master in the Wu clan, so dealing with a few weaklings was no problem for her.

"Yes, Uncle, I'm fine!"

Garuda looked into the distance; what she truly longed for was "Flavor".

Alas, love arises without warning and deepens with time: "Flavor, were you attacked too? With your strength, you should be able to handle it easily!"

Just as Garuda was lost in thought, a huge figure crashed into the wall not far away with a loud bang, drawing everyone's attention.

"Huh, is that Julius from Toyo Electric Power? Who is this person who could injure Julius like this?"

Julius, who had been thrown over, had a dent in his chest and blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He had clearly been seriously injured by a punch and had lost consciousness.

"A monster!" someone cried out from afar. The man was so terrified that he screamed in a soprano voice. The Wu clan members looked in the direction of the sound and saw Flavor Sander standing there proudly, with the East Electric thugs behind him fleeing in a sorry state, looking at Flavor as if they had seen a monster.

"My dear!" Garuda was thinking of "Flavor" when "Flavor" appeared before him. Naturally, he was overjoyed and jumped into his lover's arms.

Hanon caught Garuda, gently put her down, and reached out to rub her little head: "Hello, Garuda, I'm going to the top floor to rescue Miho, we'll talk later."

Then Hanon said to the Wu clan members, "Julius has already broken with East Electricity, so he's not exactly a heinous criminal. I'll trouble you all to take care of him. I have to go now."

Watching "Flavor" run off into the distance, Garuda's eyes were filled with stars, while Wu Jueqi bent down to examine Julius's injuries, secretly marveling: "Julius is an extremely formidable opponent. How did Flaor manage to defeat him so quickly? And injure him so badly? It feels... like Julius punched himself!"

In fact, in order to finish the battle quickly, Kanon used a newly developed technique against Julius, which was unexpectedly successful. Kanon herself was a little surprised, probably because she was able to concentrate fully in the tension. Kanon is in great shape now!

As they drew closer to their destination, Kanon encountered increasingly strange people. She saw Imai Kosou fighting a guardian wielding a willow-leaf dagger, who could actually use divine intervention—no, divine intervention. Despite his frail body, Kosou managed to dodge the impenetrable net of blades, demonstrating considerable improvement.

With only the relatively weak Kaneda Suekichi and the injured champion Gaolang by his side, it was clearly a dangerous match. Kanon was moved by a chivalrous heart and was about to go forward to help when she suddenly caught sight of someone on another side road not far away—Kuroki Gensai!

Uncle Kuroki, on the other hand, played steadily and seemed completely unconcerned about Takakaze Kiriji, focusing solely on dealing with the enemy in front of him. The thugs from Tokyo Electric Power Company were also in a tragic situation, having run into this formidable opponent. Unfortunately, Kuroki had been forced to forfeit in the first two rounds, failing to display his strength, which led them to mistakenly believe that Kuroki was a weakling they could bully...

Section 203, Chapter 201: The Expected Final Battle?

Seeing Master Kuroki there, Kanon immediately felt a sense of security. After all, Kuroki was arguably the strongest person Kanon had ever met. His calm demeanor helped to soothe Kanon's mind.

Kuroki fought very slowly, his offensive and defensive rhythm was calm and uneventful, almost as if he was deliberately stalling for time, "protecting" the Tokyo Electric Power thugs in front of him so that they wouldn't be defeated all at once... Because he had too many people around him, Kanon couldn't go over to "disturb" him. She just made a gesture from afar, indicating that there were still people trapped here, and asked Kuroki to take care of them if he had time.

Kuroki also saw Kanon and nodded slightly, so Kanon exerted her strength again and headed towards her destination.

After that, no one could stop Kanon anymore!

Well... although Kanon was able to defeat Julius quickly, and there's probably no one on Tokyo Electric Power Company who can rival her, there are still some things that can hold her back.

Just as Hanon was about to return to the infirmary, three muffled whooshing sounds came from the air. Hanon looked up and was instantly stunned: "Julius's aerial acrobatics performance was already too much, how come you guys are now performing flying trees?"

It turned out that they were three large logs, thicker than a person's waist, which were thrown out with great force. They knocked down many thugs from Tokyo Electric Power Company along the way, and their momentum did not diminish as they continued to rush towards Kanon.

"Heavens, what is this?!" The log was too thick, and there was no time to dodge. Hanon had no choice but to raise her hand to deal with it. Fortunately, she had fought against heavyweight fighters like Julius and Kono Haruo. She could block their heavy blows, so this heavy log flying in a straight line was no problem for her.

Hanon raised her hand to block a log, instantly redirecting its force to the side, causing it to collide with another log and tumble to the ground. As for the third log, Hanon had already dodged it while making her movements. After dealing with the first two, it hadn't completely flown away, so Hanon simply raised her hand and spun it in the air, sending it flying far away.

"Phew, who's throwing wood around like that? Even if it doesn't hit anyone, it's still bad if it hits the flowers and plants!" Hana shouted.

But on the other side stood a group of sumo wrestlers, beating up the assassins from Tokyo Electric Power Company. A group of super-heavyweight giants charged and attacked fiercely, and the Tokyo Electric Power Company's forces were already in complete disarray, with only the option of running away with their heads in their hands.

The two leading strongmen were clearly formidable masters. One had a calm and kind face, with his eyes narrowed like a Buddha, while the other had a fierce expression and shouted loudly like an angry Vajra.

The two also saw Hanon. The calm Rikishi smiled and said, "Oh my, I knew that a company as big as Toyo Electric Power must have some very powerful experts under its command. And here comes one."

"Hahaha, don't you feel that same thrill as before, brother? Let me go and meet him!" The Vajra-like strongman stepped forward, ready to fight Hanon.

"...Stop it, both of you!" At that moment, another sumo wrestler rushed up from behind the two of them. It was none other than Oni-Ohyama-no-Mikoto. After slapping his opponent to the ground, he arrived and said, "Brothers, this Miss Hanon is my friend!"

"Oh, so it's the older brother from Oni-no-yama. This whole family are sumo wrestlers. Their family gatherings must be quite a sight..." Hanon maliciously imagined the scene, but didn't say much to them—time was of the essence!

Huayin started running again, saying as she ran, "Guiwangshan, I'm so glad you're alright. I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll be going now!" Without waiting for Guiwangshan's reply, she drove off into the distance.

"Well, little girl, I wish you good luck in your martial arts..." Ghost King Mountain looked at Hua Yin's back without thinking too much, but his older brother came over.

"Oh my, that expert is actually a girl?"

"Hahaha, Ghost King Mountain, you're something else! Are you perhaps trying to find a sister-in-law for me and my older brother?"

Oni-oyama sighed, his two older brothers, as the "Twin Yokozuna" of the sumo world, held a prestigious position, yet they were such unreliable guys in private. Just like how they were clearly bad boys when they were young, yet they had the nerve to ask Kouyo and Sekibayashi Jun to "educate" him, who was rebellious...

"Hey, you two, don't talk nonsense! Hanon is currently using the disguise of Flavor Sander, and also the woman she loves!" At this point, Oni-no-yama sighed silently, "Alas, Hanon is indeed a chivalrous and good girl, but unfortunately she's a lesbian... She has an ambiguous relationship with President Suoh, and now she's just going to save her lover!"

That's true; Kanon was indeed going to rescue Mieko.

The "rebellion" at Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has been going on for a very long time. Just the two round trips by Kanon alone took nearly an hour! Adding the time wasted fighting with Kito Gunji at the beginning, and the subsequent rescue operation at the infirmary, almost an hour and a half has passed. During this time, Kirito, Mie, and other presidents have been staying in the second VIP room. The people from TEPCO below are gradually being suppressed, but the situation above is still unknown. How could Kanon not be anxious?

On the last stretch of the road, there were still many unusual people, such as a group of Gurkhas dressed in traditional ethnic costumes and covered in colorful feather paintings. This was a true fighting nation, strong and powerful, with individual combat strength far exceeding that of the thugs from Tokyo Electric Power Company. They swept away the remnants of Tokyo Electric Power Company everywhere, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Another example is a group of "strange beings" with hair as dense as a forest of steel needles; needless to say, these are assassins of the Inaba family.

There was also an old man guarding the heavily injured Yu Leiling, whose movements were lightning fast; he was probably Yu Leiling's elder!

Kanon even caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man who looked like a wrestling expert? Today is truly chaotic...

But none of these people could distract Hanon; she was focused entirely on rescuing Kirito and Mieko. Finally, after defeating several guards, Hanon boarded the elevator to the second VIP room.

"Huff, huff, huff..." The arena was meticulously constructed, and soothing music was playing in the elevator. With the help of the music, Hanon kept taking deep breaths, clearly indicating that the upcoming battle was the most crucial and important.

Hanon mentally assessed the situation at the top and prepared for the worst, such as the possibility that Toyo Electric Power had prepared a large number of people at the top, including super strong individuals of the level of Kuroki, or that Mihono had already been taken hostage, or even that Mihono had been injured or killed. In that case, how would she suppress her emotions and deal with the enemy?

"Ding!" The elevator has arrived at the top floor. Hana took one last deep breath and stepped out of the elevator.

Miho, don't worry, I'm here to save you—Huh?

What did Kanon see outside the elevator? She saw the Tokyo Electric Power Guardians lying haphazardly on the ground, Hayami Katsumasa pinned to the ground by "Arabian Cyclone" Hassad, Katahara Metsudou with a smug grin, and Mieko, who was somewhat surprised but cheerfully tossed over to greet her.

"Oh, Hana... Flavor, what brings you here? Let me tell you, it was quite a close call just now, but it turns out Chairman Katamoto and President Nogi had a tacit understanding all along, manipulating TEPCO with ease! They..."

Kanon didn't hear Miho's rambling afterward; her ears were ringing. She had run up here for an hour to come and rescue her, only to have it all come to nothing.

Sigh, life is just too hard.

Section 204, Chapter 202: A Brief Calm

Toyo Electric Power's "rebellion" officially began at 4:44 PM on the third day of the elimination tournament and ended at 6:15 PM. Hayami Katsutoshi came on strong and made a big splash, but in the end he was defeated casually and in a sorry state.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) paid a heavy price, while the losses for the film source company were negligible. This was not because the film source company completely suppressed Hayami, but because of the involvement of another "mastermind"—Hideki Nogi.

This one of the "Four Dragons" of the Kengan Association, the strongest representative of the middle-aged generation of entrepreneurs, has indeed evolved to the point of being able to compete with old foxes like Katahara and Hayami. He not only created a deadly elimination tournament, but also planted fighters from three families—Hatsumi Izumi, Rito, and Tokita Ohma—in the main tournament. He also secretly recruited two double agents, Hassad and Wuqi, who played a decisive role in the final moments of the Tokyo Electric Power Company operation.

With the guards of Kagen's annihilation party and various powerful allies he invited, such as the Wu clan, Gurkhas, sumo wrestlers, Inaba-ryu and Raishin-ryu, blocking his way from the front, and the traitors recruited by Nogi Hideki secretly raiding his base from behind, Hayami Katsumasa's defeat was truly deserved...

Hayami's plan was actually quite ingenious. For example, he used mercenaries like the Black Envoy to attract attention, used the "Hundred Members" controlled by Tokyo Electric Power Company to bring thugs disguised as "connections" into the arena, and planted bombs at key points in the arena as a trump card to threaten everyone at once, including members of the Kengan Association and dignitaries from various countries. After the incident, he then used Nikaido's Tenrou as a scapegoat again...

Unfortunately, in the end, everything came to nothing. After all the invading thugs were suppressed, Hayami was about to blow up the arena and run away when he was subdued by Hassad. This is the scene that Kanon witnessed. After that, everything settled down, and Toyo Electric Power's "rebellion" had completely failed.

"There's an old Chinese saying, 'Too clever by half, and you'll end up losing your life.'" After finally listening to Mieko's incessant chatter about Hayami's scheme, Kanon sighed, then took Mieko's hand and stood up: "Anyway, this matter is over now. Let's eat and drink, get some rest, and then wait for the final battle the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm~" The carefree Mihono was a little flustered for a moment when Hayami suddenly attacked. Otherwise, she just watched the performance of Kagami, Nogi and Hayami. Those three were top-notch masters of power politics. They used all kinds of schemes. Their level was too high. Mihono was too busy watching the show. She could not learn it.

As for Kanon's ordeal, she didn't go into details. After all, aside from the stab wound to the side inflicted by Kito Gunji, Kanon had been running the entire time. Adam, on the other hand, was in a worse situation; his wound was quite severe and he needed to rest for a while. In other words, the BOSS Hamburger representative duel position, which Kanon had given up, was now completely vacant, meaning Tokita Ohma would win the next match without a fight!

"I always feel like the guys in the top half of the bracket are really lucky..."

Well, never mind that. Kanon changed back into women's clothing and began to engage in a new round of battle—eating.

That evening, Pianyuan Miedang held a large celebratory banquet, ostensibly to commemorate the end of the second round of the competition, but in reality, it was to reward the warriors who had participated in the battle. Huayin had been running around all day and was starving. She wolfed down her food, and by the time she had satisfied her basic needs, the banquet was coming to an end.

Suddenly, Gaolang ran onto the stage and started singing. His singing was actually quite nice. Hana went over and whistled, and even jokingly requested a song: "Braces Girl, what can you do with your beauty? Can you sing?"

"...That's a Vietnamese song, but I'm from Thailand."

Well, Hanon shrugged and didn't say much. She wandered around again and found that everyone had found their elders or friends to chat with. Even Garuda was called over by Grandpa Wu to stay by his side and didn't go around looking for "Flavor".

The only exception was Tokita Ohma. Kanon noticed that this guy walked into the grove alone, and out of curiosity, she followed him. Then she saw Tokita Ohma come to a deserted place, lean against a big tree, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You have some hidden injuries? And they're quite serious," Hana asked.

Wang Ma was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Hua Yin to pay attention to him, let alone that such a delicate young girl could get so close to him so silently.
