'Mr. Dia, you want to kill me…'

But the next moment, a voice entered her mind—"I will protect the Twelfth Prince!"

Mumu Ze blinked, his pupils dilating again:

'Wait, is there an enemy?'

At this moment, Dia was completely unaware of Mumu Ze's thoughts. He simply concealed the gun in front of his chest and silently watched Drogbada's "being stared at".

When its eyes turn a different color, it means that the enemy's line of sight has temporarily disappeared from their sight.

He was to fire five bullets and kill five people within that timeframe.

One more is not acceptable, and one less is not acceptable either.

'It's a pity that all guns are inoperable during time stop, otherwise I could just use [World] time stop to fire five shots and end it...'

1 seconds... 2 seconds...

Diya held her breath and stared intently at the owl in front of her.

Holy crap!

A panicked cry suddenly came from not far away, breaking the silence.

Just as a drunken figure was about to fall, he grabbed the curtain that was used for privacy!

tear-

One by one, the dark muzzles of guns were exposed to everyone's view as the curtain was torn down!

At the same time, five shocked and horrified faces were also exposed!

'not good! '

Dia realized something was wrong; the enemy had been exposed ahead of time!

Without the slightest hesitation, Diya decisively lunged forward, grabbed Prince Mumu Ze in her arms, and rolled forward!

crackling and popping—

The next moment, a hail of bullets riddled the spot where Mumuze had just been standing.

With a nimble turn, Dia shielded the prince with one hand and fired her gun with the other!

The enemy's location is all in my head.

Bang bang bang bang!

Five bullets crackling with silver electricity flew out of the gun barrel at an incredible speed!

however--

Thump x3!

Three headless corpses fell to the ground.

Five bullets, but only three people were hit!

It wasn't that Dia made a mistake; rather, where the two people had been standing, two figures lay dead, their fates unknown!

Instead, an unexpected figure stood amidst the pile of corpses, fist raised, looking at Dia with a surprised expression.

"So you can even [recite] the power of that bullet?"

The drunkard who was about to fall to the ground was now standing perfectly fine in front of Dia's gun, with a smirking expression on his face.

"Hello, my name is Sang!"

He was met with a cold stare from Dia.

'That idiot…'

The moment Diya saw him, she instantly understood the whole story. Clearly, this seemingly [Enhancement-type] idiot had seen the gun barrel behind the curtain.

Perhaps out of kindness, he exposed them by pulling down the curtain, and then took advantage of their panic to knock them down.

However, he overlooked one thing—those five people, though ordinary, were clearly well-trained!

The instant he was exposed, he still instinctively fired at Mumu Ze!

This idiot almost killed them with his well-intentioned act!

The man who called himself "Sang" seemed to realize that the man before him didn't need his help, and that his intervention might even disrupt the other man's plans.

The fact that he turned around and fired with great precision at the location of the five men showed that the enemy was prepared.

This inevitably made him a little embarrassed.

'But I did help out in some way...'

Although it was a little awkward, Sang still muttered something to herself.

"If you really want to help, why don't you just use [Train] to control them?"

Diya snapped at him, annoyed. This idiot was so close, and all he could do was punch them one by one.

"Huh?! Mind reading?"

Sang was shocked. Could the boy in front of her really have such terrifying abilities?

"It's not mind reading, it's just that you're too easy to understand!"

After saying this, without paying any attention to Sang's embarrassed expression, Dia carefully put Prince Mumuze down from her arms and inquired about his injuries.

Mumu Ze looked terrified and stared blankly at him.

Dia frowned, about to say something, when she heard gunshots outside, followed by the sound of shattering glass—

Splash!

A hail of bullets shattered the windows of the cave restaurant, and shards of glass rained down on Dia and her companion like a shower of petals.

"No, it's too dangerous here. We need to find another place."

Diya didn't even glance at the glass shards. With a casual wave of her hand, she created a gust of wind that blocked all the shards. Then, she picked up the dazed Mumu Ze and ran towards the second floor of the restaurant.

At that moment, Mu Muze, who was in his arms, was a little stunned when he saw him casually block the glass shards.

Meanwhile, Sang, who was still standing in the same spot, saw a large number of bullets suddenly being fired from outside, forcing him to frantically dodge.

But the stray bullets flying everywhere still gave him a big headache. Although being hit wouldn't kill him, it would still hurt.

'Running out will only get me beaten up, so... I'd better go downstairs!'

Sang grinned, raising his arms high, his black hair seemingly dancing wildly in the air.

The next moment, he raised his hands into a chopstick and plunged them into the marble floor!

The restaurant floor was sliced ​​open with his bare hands as if it were tofu!

Sang kept moving, digging downwards like an excavator.

Before long, Sang dug a deep pit. He jumped up, squatted in the pit, raised a rock to shield his head, and quietly waited for the gunfire outside to stop.

Only one minute had passed since the first shot was fired...

Chapter Twenty-Five: [Metallic Ripples] × [Marionette Black Hole]

With a few leaps, Dia nimbly crossed the hall and headed straight for the second-floor staircase.

The first floor is now filled with stray bullets from the fighting. Staying there is fine for him, but it's very dangerous for Mumu Ze.

Therefore,

The safest place at this time—

It's on the second floor of the restaurant!

With agility and quick reflexes, thanks to the ripple radar he had just used, Dia was now very familiar with the restaurant's layout.

'The second floor is a separate, huge banquet hall. Right now, there should only be an old man drinking coffee there, and no guns...'

As soon as she entered the second floor, Diya froze as the automatic sensor door opened.

A pair of aged eyes stared at him with a hint of indifference.

The old man had a head of silver hair, was dressed elegantly, and had graceful manners. He was leisurely drinking coffee while staring intently into Dia's eyes, as if trying to see something in them.

"My name is Karl. What's yours, young man?"

The old man, who called himself Carl, seemed oblivious to the gunfire downstairs, as if he were just an old man who had come to drink coffee.

Dia remained silent, as the ripples on his body vibrated, alerting him to the danger posed by the enemy before him.

The person in front of me had their aura forcibly enveloped, making them undoubtedly a Nen user.

He slowly released Mumu Ze, letting her stand on the ground, and then looked at the still bewildered Twelfth Prince and said:

"Your Highness, please close your eyes and stand here. I will take care of the enemy immediately!"

After that, Diya didn't say anything more, and Mumu Ze obediently closed his eyes.

The old man frowned upon seeing this.

Dia slowly walked towards the old man, holding a gun in her right hand, staring expressionlessly at the enemy's brow, her [Training] energy suddenly erupting.

The air seemed to freeze.

'The [Entangle] effect is very weak, doesn't look like an [Enhancement] type... It didn't initiate any attacks, is it a counter-attack type?'

Diya silently analyzed the enemy before her, without rushing forward immediately.

Judging from the strength of the opponent's Nen, Dia has the advantage in a head-on confrontation, but the opponent shows no fear whatsoever.

Either he's reckless, or it means he has some kind of defensive capability.

'Is it related to his vision, his ability...?'

Diya had just asked Prince Mumuze to close his eyes because he noticed that the other man kept trying to make eye contact with him!

Because he was always being carried horizontally by him, Mu Muze never made eye contact with him.

Therefore, he suspected that this was probably one of the conditions for activating the opponent's ability.
