Bai Ye continued:

"The Syracuses, the Rat King will deal with them. But Penguin Logistics... Penguin Logistics and their owners are too arrogant. Lungmen is changing, and we can't let them do whatever they want all the time. They need a lesson, a slightly harsher one."

"Yes, at least that's what the Rat King said."

Mostima suddenly realized:

"Simply put, the Rat King used Penguin Logistics to beat up the Syracuses, but both sides went too far, so he decided to step in and teach them a lesson?"

“That’s right. However, Penguin Logistics is in a bit of a mess. The Rat King is taking action openly, and Wei Yanwu won’t be happy about it.”

“So…” Mostima seemed to have guessed something.

"Well, so, I'll take care of beating up Penguin Logistics." Bai Ye said, clenching his fist. "By the way, the Emperor wanted me to teach these kids a lesson, so it doesn't seem like a bad idea to knock that penguin away while I'm teaching them."

"Isai and I are, for the sake of argument, employees of Penguin Logistics. Is it really appropriate to say this in front of us?"

Bai Ye gave a thumbs up:

"So, that's why I was inviting you to join the celebration, fight alongside Xiao Le, and see just how much your comrade's sister has grown. Wouldn't that be interesting?"

"Heh, I'm tempted... but I don't want to fight a monster." Mostima stuck out his tongue.

"I promise not to use my powers... well, that is, Originium Arts."

"This is what you said!"

Chapter 106 Henshin

At this moment, Longmen Commercial Street is a sea of ​​"joy".

Of course, for Penguin Logistics, this "joy" is indeed somewhat heavy.

On this turbulent and chaotic night, Penguin Logistics' stronghold was pelted with candy bombs, and the enemy also raided Penguin Logistics' bar. Penguin Logistics pursued them relentlessly, and the bar party was interrupted as soon as it started. From then on, there was no time to stop and rest.

Meanwhile, the Rat King took action and easily subdued the mafia forces from Syracuse. Under the crushing force of his absolute power, the two clueless leaders, Capone and Gambino, fled. The remaining gang members naturally submitted to the Rat King's command as originally agreed.

As planned, the Rat King dispatched his men to block the pursuing Penguin Logistics Messengers at Dragon Gate Commercial Street.

……

"The flow of people is too uniform; something's not right." Texas was the first to notice something was amiss. She looked around and then alerted her companions.

"So many people here, are they all their accomplices?" Croissant was also somewhat incredulous.

The "them" she was referring to were, of course, their old rivals from tonight: the Syracuse gang.

“No, it’s the other people, much stronger than those small fry from before.” Texas said gravely.

She then added:

"They might be one of the Rat King's men. He's the boss of the slums, so naturally his henchmen are everywhere."

"You actually ended up facing him?!" Bison's eyes widened.

Today, Penguin Logistics has really messed with everyone in Longmen that could mess with them. Is this normal for a logistics company?!

In short, the current situation is not good for everyone.

While Penguin Logistics is indeed very capable, it doesn't mean that everyone can fight continuously for a whole night and then face hordes of enemies surrounding them.

What's more, among these people was Graytail, the Rat King.

The emperor's penguin had also disappeared.

"Are we completely surrounded? Like, surrounded by layers upon layers?" Kong scratched his head, and Rupert's ears almost turned into rabbit ears with anxiety.

Exusiai subconsciously replied:

"Oh, a chiffon cake roll?"

Melanie rolled her eyes in exasperation.

What kind of time is this to be so out of touch with reality?

Melantha drew her blade from its sheath, assumed a defensive stance, and stood with her companions.

She took a deep breath.

The battle has become the main theme tonight.

She was no stranger to sword fights.

Perhaps this is what Teacher Baiye meant by honing one's skills in actual combat.

'Master, I truly hope you can witness my battle.'

Melantha still longed for Bai Ye's attention deep down. If Bai Ye could affirm her, it would be a great encouragement to her.

Bison, who was standing to the side, saw Melantha, who was also an intern, and felt incredibly impressed. In such a situation, she still maintained a calm and composed attitude and did not hesitate in the slightest.

No wonder he's that person's apprentice.

However, thinking of Bai Ye's incredibly reckless behavior, Bai Song couldn't help but freeze, feeling a subconscious nausea.

Falling from the sky, that's just too chaotic!

This behavior must be condemned!

The thought had barely crossed his mind when suddenly, another unexpected event occurred.

"Watch out! Above!" Texas suddenly looked up at the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a box-shaped object hurtling straight down towards them!

"Wow, what is this?!" Exusiai exclaimed excitedly, her face beaming with a fearless smile.

Clearly, she was incredibly excited about her current situation.

The quick-thinking Melanie immediately grabbed the collar of the stunned Miss Sora and pulled her aside.

Then, the object fell from the sky, traversing the distance between the sky and the earth, and crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Bam—!"

The heavy object crashed to the ground, creating a shallow crater and damaging the road surface at Lungmen even before the fight began.

The Rat King's men also temporarily retreated to the side, after all, they had no idea who was behind this, and this heavy object that fell from the sky was not part of their plan.

……

"laugh--"

The heavy object opened upon landing, spewing out a large amount of gas that enveloped the surrounding penguin logistics messengers.

Just as Melantha was lost in thought, her personal terminal in her pocket suddenly rang.

Melanza took out her terminal and opened it. The caller ID showed it was her teacher, Bai Ye.

"Teacher Baiye!"

Melanie answered the phone quickly.

"Your current situation is quite precarious, isn't it?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the communication.

The voice remained relaxed and leisurely, as if nothing could change it even if the sky were to fall.

The moment she heard that voice, Melantha felt instantly at ease and relaxed, as if the voice of the White Night possessed boundless magic.

"Actually...it's actually not bad!" Melantha said, trying to sound tough.

After all, the girl wanted to perform well in front of her teacher.

"Oh, really?" Bai Ye shook his head and smiled, looking down at the street. "In that case, do you still need my help? I'll have to take my things back now."

"Well--"

Melanie didn't speak, her expression turning somewhat troubled.

"Alright, enough joking around." Bai Ye stopped teasing his apprentice and said seriously, "The prototype of the power armor was just successfully developed today and passed the theoretical tests, but the actual testing hasn't been carried out yet."

"Could it be that!"

Melantha immediately realized what Bai Ye was talking about, and she looked up at the heavy box in front of her.

“Yes, you’re right, that’s your power armor. I think the actual aircraft should be ready, right? We’ve finally made it in time,” Bai Ye said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, teacher!"

Melantha finally smiled.

She ran to the heavy object that had crashed to the ground and, following the steps Bai Ye had taught her, pressed down on the raised symbol in the center of the box.

That's the logo of the White Night Lobotomy Institute, and below the logo is the name of the White Night Corporation.

"Kakaka-"

As the internal mechanisms of the enclosure are activated, the outer protective panel is popped open and detached, and the automatic mechanism of the enclosure unfolds.

"This is!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the scene before them.

The next moment, the box fully unfolded, revealing a set of black powered armor inside.

"That's so cool!" Exusiai couldn't help but whistle.

"Your information has been registered, but activation requires a password," Bai Ye's voice continued from the terminal.

"Remember, the password is—"

"Henshin!"

Chapter 107 Humanoid Gundam

After explaining all the precautions, Bai Ye ended the communication.

Melanza then stood in front of the box as instructed.

She sheathed her longsword and handed it, scabbard and all, to Kong.

Then, recalling Bai Ye's words, she raised her right hand and shouted:

"Henshin!"

"Buzz-"

With a short beep, the main body of the power armor was activated, and the rear of the armor opened automatically.

Having already piloted the "Fortress" class power armor, Melantha was naturally very familiar with how to put on this armor. She braced herself against the box and jumped inside.

Once Melantha was in position, the power armor automatically closed and shut, releasing gas again.

The armor fit Melantha's body perfectly, and finally, the helmet visor flipped down to cover Melantha's face.

Three seconds later, the power-on test was completed, and the helmet lit up.

A deep sound effect plays:

"alpha"

A waterfall of data flowed across the girl's retina; neural connections were normal, and the system was running smoothly.

"So agile."

Melantha clenched her fist. This suit of armor was completely different from the "Fortress" class power armor she used for training in the past. That suit was visibly heavy and stiff, and it was impossible to make some tactical movements. It was quite rigid.

Now, Melantha felt that her body had become more agile and faster, as if she had been enhanced.

She felt no resistance when she raised her hand. Although it was a very sturdy suit of armor, it felt to her as if she were wearing a light piece of clothing.

……

The messengers from Penguin Logistics were dumbfounded.

A box fell from the sky and contained a set of power armor, which the new intern then crawled inside.

It looks like it's custom-made power armor; ordinary people can't afford to play with this stuff.

Miss, you're cheating!

Croissant rubbed her face, turned and looked at Bison. They both saw disbelief on each other's faces.
