I am the protagonist

The pressure he had endured for seven years was too heavy for Yan Zhen, and now that he knew that his sister was not actually dead, it was a huge shock to him.

Seven years of suppressed emotions erupted completely at this moment.

However, Ed Heidi was not as optimistic as Yan Zhen.

[Obsidian Middle School... Mami is at Obsidian Middle School!]

[Could it be that Curie has been keeping an eye on Obsidian Middle School all this time because of Mami?]

"...Yanzhen, we're in big trouble now!"

"Curie has been keeping an eye on Obsidian High School lately. If Zhenmei is at Obsidian High School..."

Yan Zhen's consciousness paused for a moment.

"Curie!!!"

The others rushed forward and held down Yan Zhen, who was on the verge of going berserk.

"Yan Zhen, calm down first."

"Whatever the reason, we need to calm down now."

"This time, the other side may not only be holding Curie hostage, but may also be holding Mami hostage. If we do anything inappropriate, Mami may be the one who suffers."

As Yan Zhen, panting heavily, gradually calmed down, his eyes were now bloodshot.

"Calm down first. We don't know if that guy is targeting Mami, but we need to believe that Mami won't be in danger until he achieves his goal."

"And the advantage we have now is that Vongola X doesn't want to target us. At least we don't have to worry about dealing with internal matters while facing Vongola X."

"But what about Mami's side..."

"Don't worry about that for now. As long as we follow the plan we made before, Zhenmei will definitely be fine."

"If we want to protect ourselves and also keep Curie and Mami, this is the only way we can do it."

Yan Zhen remained silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.

Even if you are extremely angry, you must suppress it at this moment.

[You're so beautiful. I promise I won't let you get hurt again this time.]

Although he was happy to know that his sister was still alive, it was not a happy thing that his sister was being targeted.

"Continue to act according to plan."

"I'll ignore Curie's actions for now... Once this is over, I'll skin that bastard alive!"

At this moment, Enma was furious to the extreme.

But no matter what, what he needs to do now is to completely suppress this anger.

Ed Haidi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"If Mami is also alive, then her survival further confirms what Vongola X said before."

“Someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes, deliberately leading us to the Vongola.”

"The person who stole Curie's body must be the real culprit, otherwise Curie wouldn't be at Obsidian Middle School now."

"You know, Chrome-Dokuro, who used to be at Kokuyo Middle School, has now transferred to Namimori. Even if Curie wanted to keep an eye on Chrome-Dokuro, she would keep an eye on Namimori, unless Curie is going to keep an eye on Mami."

Edheidi was once again grateful that she had listened to Vongola X properly the last time, otherwise their situation would be even worse now.

"We're already walking on thin ice this time, and now we need to be even more careful."

Chapter 180 The New Form of the Vongola Rings

"Already done."

Grandpa Tarpo pushed out the Vongola Ring, which had already been modified.

However, rather than rings, these things are more like stones, with different shapes and properties on their surface.

"Oh!"

"The old man truly deserves to be called the most outstanding gold engraver; he was able to transform the Vongola Ring into this state."

Tsuna looked at the spheres that looked like stones and picked up the one that belonged to him.

To be honest, I was a little surprised that a gold carver could achieve this level of skill before I had witnessed his true abilities.

"The foundation is complete; now it's time for us to give them a new form."

Tarpo grinned.

“That’s right, the foundation of the Vongola Rings has been completely completed. Now it’s time to give them a completely new form.”

"Unlike the image of the ring in the past, this is the image most suitable for the guardian of Vongola X."

I thought I needed to explain it, but I didn't expect that Vongola X would see through the true meaning of this image at a glance.

He still crafted the Mare ring in the original ring's form because it's not something that can be done with ordinary mediums to truly imbue the ring with a soul.

The reason the Vongola Ring can change its appearance once again is because it is imbued with the blood of the first Vongola.

[In your first life, everything you prepared for the tenth life has now been put to use.]

So, did you already foresee back then that there would be a Vongola X who could inherit everything from you?

Without further ado, Tsunayoshi infused the Dying Will Flame into the foundation stone that had been integrated into the Vongola Ring.

A large amount of Dying Will Flame slowly hatched the Foundation Stone, allowing it to reveal its true form belonging to the Vongola era.

"It's still a ring."

"It seems that only a ring is suitable for me."

Even though the Vongola Rings have been redesigned, Tsuna looks at the ring in his hand and it hasn't changed much. It's still a ring, just different from the rings of the past.

In addition to the Vongola symbol, there is also a small lion on the ring.

The Vongola ring now has an additional iron ring, which is connected to another ring worn on the little finger via an iron chain.

The two rings together form the current Vongola Rings.

"The ring is still the most suitable for the Boss."

Chrome also felt that the ring was the most suitable accessory for the Boss.

"Boss, please also take a look at my Vongola ring."

Chrome picked up his own foundation stone and, without saying a word, poured a large amount of death flames into it.

The foundation stone began to hatch, and an earring appeared in her hand.

"Earrings, huh? They really suit a girl's image."

After looking at the earring, Chrome put it on her left ear.

"Boss, what do you think?"

"They are indeed very nice; the earrings really suit you."

Seeing Tsuna and Chrome's success, the others also took their own foundation stones and poured a large amount of Dying Will Flame into them.

Everyone's foundation has begun its normal incubation.

Gokudera's obi (belt).

Yamamoto's necklace.

Sasakawa's armband.

Lark's bracelet.

Apart from Lambo, who is not yet an adult, the foundations of the others have all hatched into forms that best suit them.

They all succeeded.

[The Vongola X's guardians are indeed stronger, compared to the Vongola IX's guardians.]

Although Tarpo didn't say anything, the foundation stones created only have one chance to be activated. If the Death Flame is insufficient, the foundation stone will become completely useless.

But without being reminded, the cornerstone successfully hatched on the first try.

No wonder Yi Shi made so many preparations for you; for Yi Shi, it was all worth it.

"Gokudera, please keep Lambo's one safe for him, and give it to him when he turns fifteen."

"I understand."

The last remaining cornerstone has been taken away by Gokudera.

"You have received new weapons. Take advantage of the time before the inheritance ceremony to get used to them. When the day comes to decide your fate, Yan Zhen and the others probably won't show much mercy."

"After all, there are quite a few troubles over there. At the very least, the younger sister who didn't die seven years ago might be captured and used as a bargaining chip."

This practice is really dirty.

But everyone present was already used to this situation, and they knew that the Mafia was bound to encounter such things.

For Lark, this kind of situation was already quite common.

Even within the Namimori region, he had witnessed many people commit such acts, not just within the Mafia, but those who did were mostly the ones he killed.

"Tenth Generation, wouldn't that put the Simon family in great danger?"

"No, the dangerous people are not the Simon family. That person is not targeting Mami Kosato to threaten the Simon family. It's precisely because that person knows the Simon family is under his control that he doesn't need to do so."

"The reason I was keeping an eye on Mami Kosato this time, no, I should say I was keeping an eye on Kokuyo Middle School, was entirely to lure out another person."

"!?"

"It's Rokudo Mukuro!?"

The only person qualified to be guided out of Kokuyo Middle School is Rokudo Mukuro.

But that's another problem.

"But Tenth Boss, why did that person lure Rokudo Mukuro out?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

"After all, they were both former Mist Guardians of the Vongola, and even their appearances were surprisingly similar. Only by taking over that person's body can I unleash the power that should have been there."

At this moment, Gokudera truly understood who their opponent was.

"The Tenth Generation, so the real mastermind behind it all is that Mist Guardian D-Spado who betrayed his entire life?"

"Yes."

"He was the one who caused the first Vongola to leave the historical stage prematurely, he was the one who caused the Simon family to leave the historical stage, and he was the one who promoted the successive Vongola Bosses."

"Naturally, he also wants to eradicate this bloodline now."

Gokudera's gaze deepened.

[I never imagined that the mastermind behind the Vongola would be that traitor.]

Anyone could potentially be the mastermind, but it's most illogical for the guardian of a family to do such a thing.

[Having pushed the first generation off the stage, now even the tenth generation is being targeted.]

The downfall of the Simon family was also orchestrated by that person.

They've really done all sorts of bad things.

Chapter 181 The Ambition to Unify the Entire Darkness

"But why would Vongola I tolerate his behavior so much?"

Tsuna was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"That would be a sin for a lifetime."

"Because of the naive idea that peace would come soon, I still made some oversights in some decisions."

"He overlooked the fact that not everyone is selfless, and that wildness can grow over time, especially in a place like Italy."

"It was because of that oversight that a permanent scar was left in D-Spedo's heart."

"An innocent girl died in that accident, and that girl was also D-Spade's beloved."

"It was also because of that innocent girl that I was never able to kill D-Spedo."

From a rational perspective, the creation of the terrifying D-Spedor was actually the work of the first generation, but it was due to overly idealistic ideas.
