He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

He had heard Xanx say during the day that he should be prepared, and thought he was a cautious person, but he didn't expect him to be so reckless.

As for rushing in with them?

That is impossible.

Even with a bulletproof suit, a mortal body like mine can't withstand many hits.

"That's good. While they're distracting the enemy, I'll sneak in!" Daredevil decided.

Using the windowsills, air conditioner units, drainpipes, and exhaust pipes as cover, I climbed up like a nimble ape and quickly found an open window, sneaking inside.

Just then, intense gunfire erupted from ahead.

……

The Balian troops swaggered toward the enemy camp.

How could the enemy camp's guards not see it?

The security guard on night duty noticed the group of people from afar, whose clothes and expressions were very flamboyant and whose aura was amazing. He immediately took out his communicator to notify the others.

Then, he picked up his weapon and went forward.

Chapter 164 Squalo vs. Erika

"This is private property, you who are here."

puff!

A sharp throwing knife pierced through the security guard's head.

"I really don't understand!"

While tossing his throwing knives, Bell said listlessly, "We're clearly here to fight. Why do you think a mere warning from a guard will deter us?"

"Because they are the weak."

Luslia combed his mohawk and chuckled, "Only the weak deceive themselves."

As they spoke, the group had already stepped into the company gate.

A dozen or so security guards armed with rifles poured out of the lobby, raising their guns as if to fire.

But Bell was faster than them.

Countless sharp throwing knives sliced ​​through the air, piercing their throats with unerring accuracy.

"Sigh, aren't there any ninjas like those from last night?"

Bell tilted his head, looking slightly bored, and said, "With this kind of stuff, there's absolutely no motivation!"

"As expected, Senior Bell is a pervert!"

Fran's untimely remark led to a throwing knife being plunged into the frog's hat.

Bell turned around and sneered maliciously, "When we get back, I'll have to give the younger generation a good talking-to!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and six throwing knives shot out.

Several security guards who had just emerged from around the corner were immediately stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground.

"Ugh, how scary!"

Fran teased with a broad smile.

And so, the group chatted and laughed as they made their way to the elevator.

After inspecting the internal mechanisms, Levi reported, "There is only a maximum of three underground levels accessible from here."

"Let's split up and search."

Squalo, as the team captain, immediately gave the order, but Xanx raised his hand to stop him.

"No need for that trouble."

Grotesque scars appeared on Xanx's cheeks and forehead, making his face look brutal. "Why should I follow the path that trash has set? Get out of my way!"

As he spoke, orange flames ignited in his right hand.

The flames were incredibly intense, almost as if they possessed a life of their own, pulsating in sync with Xanx's emotions.

"and many more"

Just as Squalo was about to dissuade him, Xanx swung his right hand toward the ground, and flames crashed down like a sledgehammer.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded, and violent flames burst across the ground, like the embodiment of destruction, unleashing waves of heat and shock.

Apart from Squalo, the rest of the people flew out like kites with broken strings.

"Cough cough, you bastard, you still act so recklessly." Squalo covered his mouth and nose, unable to help but curse.

Do you have any questions about my actions?

Xanx glanced over out of the corner of his eye, his gaze questioning.

Squalo's eye twitched, and he sighed helplessly.

“Squalo, don’t think that just because you’re our captain you can question the boss.” Levi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up from the shattered wall, and looked at Squalo with hostility.

Fran's lips twitched, and he forced a dry laugh, "Senior Levi, you're being a bit too blatant with your flattery!"

"Ok?"

Levi glared at him fiercely and said sternly, "This is loyalty to the BOSS, so show some respect in your words!"

“Mom, Levi is just the kind of person who's blindly loyal, don't take it to heart.” Lusslia adjusted her glasses and raised her right hand.

The ring on his middle finger burst into yellow flames.

"Let me treat you!"

Luslia spoke in a flamboyant manner, pulling out a square box the size of a ping-pong ball and inserting the ring's flame into the slot.

"Open the box, the sunny peacock!"

Yellow flames shot out from the box, revealing a colorful peacock. As the peacock slowly unfolded its tail feathers, it emitted a warm glow.

Bell, Fran, Levy, and even himself, were all rapidly healed under this sun-like illumination.

At this moment, the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, revealing a crater about five meters in diameter.

Xanx glanced at the group who were healing and said calmly, "You guys have fun, I'm going down now!"

As he spoke, he was about to jump.

suddenly

"Ding!"

The elevator arrived.

Although it was a small figure, everyone present was a master among masters, so naturally they wouldn't miss it and turned to look over.

The elevator doors opened, and the elevator was empty.

"A boring trick!"

Xanx spoke dismissively, orange flames reigniting in his hand and exploding directly on it.

In an instant, flames surged and rippled in all directions.

Like a meteorite falling into the sea, a high heat wave emanated from Xanx in all directions, extending to the ceiling and almost engulfing the entire ceiling.

As the black-clad ninjas, who had been lurking close to the ceiling and were about to use the elevator to attract everyone's attention, were instantly swallowed up by the dozen or so black-clad ninjas who descended to launch a sneak attack.

"Ahhh!!!"

The ninjas fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot, letting out painful howls.

Xanx remained expressionless, raising the flames once more to burn them to ashes.

But at that moment, a ninja in red appeared in front of Xanx as if he had teleported, his long sword slashing straight at his neck.

It turns out that these dozen or so black-clad ninjas were also bait.

The purpose was to completely draw their attention, giving the red-clad ninja a chance to deliver a fatal blow.

But

"when!"

A long sword was extended, blocking the sneak attack.

"Aren't you looking down on people a little?"

The longsword's owner, "Squalo," grinned with a shark-like excitement. "He actually bypassed me and went straight to the Boss. Am I really that pathetic?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Squalo's longsword vibrated, sending the red-clad ninja flying. Then, with a flick of his sword, he chased after the ninja like a shark tearing at its prey.

The red-clad ninja was being sent flying backwards. Although he had adjusted his direction and posture, he was still not firmly planted on the ground and was unsteady. He managed to exchange a few sword strikes with Squalo before being blasted away along with his sword by the immense force.

"What's wrong? Is that all you've got?"

Squalo looked like he hadn't had enough.

The red-clad ninja coughed up a mouthful of blood, propped himself up on his sword, and stared intently at Squalo.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at her appearance.

This was a woman, who was not dressed in black and masked like other ninjas. Instead, she was wearing a black sleeveless bodysuit with a red sleeveless turtleneck sweater over it, and her hair was styled in a high ponytail.

"Hey, isn't that Matt's girlfriend, Erica?" Bell said with a smile. "Since he's not here anyway, should we just kill her? Capturing her alive is too much trouble."

"To be precise, she was my ex-girlfriend."

Fran corrected.

What did you say?

Erica looked at the Varia members blankly, puzzled by Bell and Fran's words, and asked, "Who is Matt? And when did I become his girlfriend?"

"Knock her out!"
