First, I quickly wrote down my understanding of the skills I currently possessed.
Then he put away his phone and disappeared into a small alley.
Several people were already waiting for him there.
Chapter 114
The sound of water dripping rang out rhythmically.
It added a touch of eeriness to the depths of the alley.
But the terrifying atmosphere created by the environment couldn't overcome the presence of these few people.
They are the real 'ghosts' in people's eyes.
Even... 'demon'.
"It's so slow... Why hasn't Yato arrived yet?"
Garuda sat bored on a steel bar that was about to fall, her legs swinging in mid-air. Although she was extremely bored, she was still full of anticipation at the thought of seeing the person she liked again soon.
"The most important thing for an assassin is patience, and Garuda... I told you from the beginning not to come." Wu Hori stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking like a benevolent king. His imposing and majestic aura alone was enough to make people feel awe.
"No way!" Garuda drawled, complaining, "Grandpa won't let me see Yato, fine, but why are you all stopping me too?"
Don't include other people in this.
Wu Fengshui felt he had been unfairly targeted and had no choice but to defend himself.
"Personally, I strongly agree with you bringing that person into our clan."
But what could be done if Grandpa disagreed?
She silently grumbled to herself.
Everyone in the Wu Clan knows that the current clan leader, Wu Huiliyang, is a granddaughter-obsessed person, and a particularly serious one at that. It's no wonder he's furious when his granddaughter, who is still a minor, comes to him saying she wants to marry someone.
To be honest, it wasn't just Grandpa Wu Huiliyang.
Many members of the tribe were shocked when they heard about this.
She is no exception.
But how should I put it... if the object is Yato, Wu Fengshui doesn't think there's any problem.
That man certainly possessed extraordinary abilities.
It's only natural that Garuda would take a liking to him.
In fact, if Wu Fengshui hadn't been so uninterested in romance, she would have definitely taken the initiative herself, following the tradition of the Wu Clan.
The Wu clan places great importance on bloodlines, but they don't care about purity; in their eyes, 'strength' is the most important thing.
After Wu Huili took over, she basically followed the modern trend of free love and did not interfere much with the clan members' freedom of marriage. However, despite this, the clan members who grew up under the Wu clan's education system were still more inclined to be a 'special group'.
Those who truly connect with ordinary people are almost nonexistent.
Wu Huili once mentioned this issue, believing that the powerful bloodline that the Wu clan has cultivated over the years has little to do with the method of education, just as tigers do not breed with cats.
...Then she turned around and instilled a lot of outdated ideas into Garuda, making Garuda extremely picky about his mate, and even used his mother's connections to get him into a girls' school like the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy.
All of this was to prevent his lovely granddaughter from being kidnapped by some unknown bedbug at an early age.
However, it still failed.
I can picture the old man rolling on the ground and wailing incessantly after Garuda left.
Wu Fengshui covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Speaking of Garuda, don't you have class tomorrow? If you don't go home this late, Yaksha will scold you again. Don't let her appearance fool you, she can be quite terrifying when she gets angry."
Seemingly recalling past events, Wu Horio's somber face couldn't help but show an indescribable expression.
"Mom said she's having dinner with other teachers tonight, so it's fine."
Garuda said with a grin.
"What about your father?"
"He...right, where is he now? In Afghanistan? Or in China? Or in Egypt?"
"..."
Seeing Garuda frowning as he tried to recall where his father had gone, Wu Fengshui and Wu Horixiong were speechless.
Suddenly.
The three of them paused, their expressions shifting as they looked toward the entrance to the alley.
"Yato... Huh?!"
Upon seeing someone approaching, Garuda jumped to the ground with joy, intending to rush over and pounce, but was surprised to find that it was a stranger.
Wu Hori and Wu Fengshui also realized what was happening.
One drew his gun, while the other lowered his hand.
The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly oppressive.
"who are you?"
Garuda looked at the strangely dressed young man in front of him with displeasure.
This person is naturally the Sonic that Yato is imitating.
Seeing Garuda there, Yato thought to himself, "Just as I expected."
When he inquired about Dazai Yukio and others from the [Kurei Clan], he also took the opportunity to inquire about Narukami Torahiro and [Mushi].
Since the latter's intelligence was more complex, and the Wu Clan needed some time to organize it, the two sides agreed to meet somewhere to exchange intelligence in person.
Yato had considered that Garuda might come along, so he decided to set the time for night and appear as a simulated character to avoid further entanglement from 'Garuda'.
· ······Requesting flowers····· ····
"I'm here to collect intelligence."
Yato deliberately ignored Garuda and looked at 'Oni-gyu', with whom he had fought a deadly battle not long ago.
“My employer has some things to take care of. He should have told you that someone else would come and pick it up.”
"Tonight seems a bit too lively."
Wu Hori said in a muffled voice.
"I won't ask if your employer is also in jail or not. He did say he might not be there, but how can I be sure you were the one he sent?"
"Just because of this—"
Yato suddenly kicked upwards.
The leg speed that easily broke the sound barrier stirred up a strong wind like a shockwave in the alley, and the air even rippled with visible force, spreading outwards.
Garuda covered his face with his hands, and his clothes rustled.
0 ....... ...
His eyes revealed a look of horror.
Not only her, but Wu Fengshui and Wu Horixiong were no better off either.
They could never have imagined that such a slender physique could contain such power.
Just then, something fell from the sky.
It landed beside Yato.
That's a crow.
Under the incredulous gazes of the three, the crow flapped its wings a few times, its body slowly splitting in two, leaving a trail of foul-smelling blood on the ground, before it lay still.
"...?"
They instinctively looked up at the night sky.
The alleyway, sandwiched between multiple buildings, is as deep and narrow as a crevice.
Even if you can see the sky, it's still narrow and thin.
If a bird flies overhead, the figure will disappear in less than a second.
This crow... it must have just happened to be passing by, right?
But they never expected to encounter such a sudden disaster.
No, before feeling compassion, we must first consider a question.
How did this person manage to shoot down the crow from a distance of about ten meters?
Based on that one high kick?
Moreover, it can remain fresh for a short time after being shot down, seemingly without even realizing it.
This seemingly illogical phenomenon has only appeared in the legends of Iaido.
Using his kicking skills, he cut down a crow from over ten meters away, easily recreating the legend of Iaido... Just who is this young man?!
Seeing the horror on the three men's faces, the Sonic Ninja said with a hint of arrogance, "How about it? My Wind Blade Kick... that guy should have shown you a similar move, right? That should be enough proof, shouldn't it?"
Chapter 115
Upon hearing the young man's words, Wu Horio's eyes flashed, as if he had made a connection to something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"I understand. In that case..."
He took a USB drive out of his suit pocket.
Just then, a pebble 'whooshed' towards the back of my head.
Without turning his head, Wu Hori swung his hand and smashed it.
"What do you want to do?"
"...Lei An".
Lei'an?
Garuda and Wu Fengshui, who were standing nearby, were shocked upon hearing this.
Suddenly.
An immense sense of oppression... no! It should be described as 'madness' descending like a shadow that blots out the sky.
The night grew even darker and more murky.
Even without turning around, you can sense something dangerous behind you.
It looked like a demon crawling out of hell, drooling and greedily looking down at itself.
The murderous aura was palpable, like oil being poured over a raging fire.
It relentlessly scorches human skin.
Contrary to the intense and violent atmosphere, the temperature dropped sharply at 0.77 degrees Celsius.
Although it is just a psychological illusion, it is enough to freeze ordinary people's thinking and make them unable to muster any will to resist.
"Ha...! You noticed me a long time ago but didn't say anything. You're pretty cunning, aren't you?"
The unfamiliar young man... Wu Lei'an squatted on the edge of the building behind the alley, not afraid of a gust of wind blowing him off. He tossed fist-sized pebbles up and down in his hand. Although he was dressed plainly, his evil aura was fully revealed by his ferocious smile.
His eyes were also black with white undertones, proving his Wu clan lineage.
When Yato saw him, he couldn't help but think of a great pirate named 'Doflamingo'.
These two people look so alike.
“Grandpa wouldn’t release you without a reason. There must be something he wants to do with you. But Lei’an, no matter what you’re going to do, attacking your own kind is a big no-no…” Wu Horixiong slowly turned around, his chubby, seemingly honest face tightening and filled with murderous intent. “Even if I kill you here, Grandpa won’t have anything to say.”
"That's really scary~".
