"I won't hold back." Botobai's nasal voice emitted two streams of gaseous dragons.
Roy leaned on his staff blade and calmly said, "That's what I want."
"Very well!" Chen Long immediately stopped speaking and turned towards the depths of the passage, saying directly, "Follow me."
"Young master," Wutong and Kurajing seemed to...
"Gao~" Roy patted the Golden Crow's head and instructed the two, "Wait for me here."
He turned, lifted his sword, and followed.
The two figures, one large and one small, walked into the passage one after the other and disappeared from sight.
Embedded electronic eyes on the passage walls were everywhere, capturing their figures without blinking, and distributed them through the monitoring room... One staff member in a baseball cap, with a slightly slick appearance, took out a phone while his colleagues weren't looking, and quietly sent a text: "It has started."
Kakin Empire's capital, Spandau.
Near the power center controlled by the Grue family, at the southern end of Tulip Avenue where Beyond resided in a luxurious manor.
An old man and a young man, one standing and the other sitting, were busy with their tasks, neither paying attention to the other.
At this time, Beyond held a telescope, supervising the construction of the "Black Whale" through the large floor-to-ceiling window, breaking the silence, and asked the blond boy behind him, "A few days have passed, have you figured out where you lost?"
Pariston, with his legs crossed, sat on the sofa, casually flipping through a "Dragon Hunter" book, without looking up, said, "What else could it be? Simply inadequate strength and lack of information."
If you can't win, it's inadequate strength. Knowing nothing is insufficient information.
Pariston reviewed it carefully, realizing he could have avoided conflict with Roy Zoldyck. At the airport, he had even backed down voluntarily, but unexpectedly got involved in the struggle due to that weird person, getting swept into the storm of confrontation. In other words...
It was completely an accident... One where he lost two guards and a pawn, only to prove the opponent's "great playability"...
Remembering that indifferent face, Pariston's heart started itching again, uncontrollably excited.
Just then, Beyond glanced back at him and said, "You're missing a point."
The boy closed the book, casually tossed it onto the desk, rested his hands behind his head, and raised an eyebrow, waiting silently.
A soft "buzz" sound came from Beyond's pocket...
This man, whom some consider the strongest, deemed a beast willing to pledge "Constraints and Oaths" even at the cost of life, captured the phone and, with a glance, ordered the giant TV on the east wall to be turned on.
The screen unfolded, clearly reflecting Roy and Botobai's "race" in the passage,
Beyond, hands behind his back, observed the black-haired youth on the screen and said, "You're lacking preparation."
"Humans die when they're killed... No matter how strong, with enough preparation, they can be killed with one blow!"
"What about Chairman Netero?" Pariston clearly knew quite a bit about Beyond's matters.
"The same." The man suppressed his voice, chuckling darkly, "Roy Zoldyck is a worthy opponent, observe carefully, collect his data, I look forward to the day you take revenge and kill him!"
The Zoldycks... Kill their child, and they'll go mad... Beyond turned to glance at Pariston, knowing that when the boy was hunted with no escape, he'd have no choice but to bind himself to this war chariot and flee to the Dark Continent...
"Hehe... I will."
Pariston squinted, examining Roy in the surveillance footage, his body trembling... Revenge wasn't important to him...
What mattered was destroying the things his opponent cherished, watching him rage and hate, all while smiling and waltzing... As for a dance partner?
'That Kurajing on the ship is quite nice...'
"Tap... Tap..." The sound of footsteps emerged from the footage, echoing clearly in the luxurious room....
In the underground passage, Roy employed the "Dark Step," following Botobai neither fast nor slow. If he sped up, Roy would as well; if he slowed, Roy matched. Eventually, a glimmer of light could be seen through the passage's entrance,
But unexpectedly, Botobai threw a smoke grenade to the ground... disappearing suddenly, leaving only an echoing message in Roy's ear...
"This test isn't complex, it's called 'Lost Melody Maneuver'..."
"Find me before the sun sets, and you'll pass...."
White smoke filled the entrance, causing Roy to pause, letting Jinx open its mouth to spew fire, clearing a path,
Despite its small size, the Golden Crow's reach was intriguingly vast, a surge of fire spread instantly, clearing the white smoke thoroughly.
"An impressive Nen Beast." Beyond stood by the giant window, immediately noticing the Golden Crow perched on Roy's head.
Pariston propped his chin with one hand, leaning slantwise on the sofa, frowning, having no recollection of this plump crow.
Could it be, after "Magnetic Force" and "Swordsmanship," Roy Zoldyck was hiding a "Nen Beast" as well?
The boy's mouth curled upward, finding it increasingly interesting...
On the screen.
Jinx opened its mouth, hiccuped a slight black smoke, light protruded from the passage entrance... as Roy seized the moment to grip the staff blade, stepping out of the passage, only to meet a "barrage of bullets" head-on!
"Dada... Dada... Dada.... "
The bullets poured down, seemingly timed to his emergence, the firepower even fiercer than Wutong.....
