I am the protagonist

Gamma knew it wasn't a simple task. As the two women of the Vongola Tenth Generation, they could easily attract some troublesome guys, but he really didn't expect it to turn out this way.

“Cherbell, I request a search of Namimori.”

[Your request has been granted. Lord Irie is aware of your intentions and has already granted you the right to investigate and search.]

"...That guy is so thoughtful."

After saying that, Gamma hung up the phone.

Irie's meaning was clear: he was to let the missing Taiyuan and Yeyuan handle the matter himself, giving him the authority to search and investigate. Gamma now also needed to find out who killed them.

[Irie's investigation is probably not fake. Now that Millefiore is united against the remnants of the Vongola, they probably can't find any more information at the place where the incident happened.]

Gamma, being an experienced person, quickly understood the situation, but there was one thing he couldn't comprehend.

Who on earth killed the great ape and the wild ape in such a short time?

This is a problem that Gamma still cannot understand.

Those two were his underlings, and Gamma knew their strength best. They were even capable of fighting against the Vongola swordsmen. How could they be so easily defeated?

Could the Vongola family be hiding an incredible trump card?

Gamma couldn't know if the Vongola had any hidden trump cards, but he knew he needed to find them.

Knowing that this operation would be troublesome, Gamma also brought all his equipment.

Gamma knew very well that once he found the other side, he would face no ordinary trouble, and it might even be a rare battle to the death.

However, there is one thing that Gamma still doesn't know: just as he went out to find the Vongola ace who killed his two underlings, the person who actually did it had already left the Vongola base, and that person's target was also him.

Perhaps it was this unspoken understanding that led them both to move in their own directions.

Gamma begins searching for the Vongola base hidden in Namimori, while the other man also begins his journey to his location.

Chapter 40: The Cloud Guardians Who Were Lured Together

[A very nice place, there doesn't seem to be a single surveillance camera, and there are very few people coming and going.]

This highly concealed place is truly the most suitable location for assassinations, and it is also the most suitable place to be the entrance to the Vongola secret base.

There aren't many places like this in Namimori. This place has been searched by Milfiore dozens of times, but he still can't find any place that looks like the entrance to the base. It's because he gave up after searching for it that this place is relatively safe.

My hyperintuitive sense is in this place.

Tsuna stopped and concealed his presence on a tree branch.

[Milfiore searched this place many times. Although it's a very good location, it's also the least likely place to be the entrance to the Vongola base.]

Even though this place is quite secluded, sparsely populated, and without any surveillance cameras, the area outside this forest is covered with surveillance cameras. If any person is captured on camera near this forest, then the entrance to the Vongola base will be completely exposed.

Therefore, this place is the least suitable place to be the entrance to the Vongola base.

How did that lightning-fast gamma find its way to this place?

Does he think those people's investigation wasn't thorough enough, and that this might be the entrance to the Vongola base?

【Um? 】

【coming! 】

At the entrance to the forest, Gamma stepped into this forest that Milfiore had been searching for a long time.

[...It wasn't what I thought.]

Tsuna originally thought that Gamma had some mental problems and that's why he came to this place. But it turns out that he was forced to come to a quiet place to deal with the stalkers because he was being followed.

[I knew the other side wouldn't be such an idiot, wandering around in a place that could never be a Vongola base.]

However, the current situation has piqued Tsuna's interest in finding out who is behind the lightning-fast Gamma.

Gamma slowly walked deeper into the forest, but the sense of danger and the persistent gaze behind him grew ever closer.

Suddenly, Gamma stopped.

"You can come out now, you've been following me all this way."

The sound of footsteps trampling on the grass slowly came from behind.

Gamma slowly turned his head, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

"I wondered who it was, but I never expected it to be Hibari Kyoya, the strongest cloud guardian of the Vongola."

"If so, so what?"

"Our intelligence department is having a real headache figuring out whether you're a Vongola member or not. What you've been doing is completely unlike what a Vongola Guardian should be doing."

"Furthermore, I heard that you also seriously investigated the matter of the box weapon and the ring."

Information about Hibari Kyoya surfaced in Gamma's mind.

Of all the Vongola Guardians, only Hibari Kyoya has the most secrets. In addition, this man has been investigating the secrets of the Box Weapons recently. Within Milfiore, this man is also defined as dangerous and troublesome.

"What do you say?"

Gamma didn't believe he could get the answers he wanted just by saying a few words.

The manufacture of box weapons is classified information within Milfiore; it's not something you can just ask for and know.

"Although I don't want to entrust my life to something that I have no idea how it was made, this is the way things are now."

"Since you don't want to talk about it, there's nothing I can do to make you reveal those things. However, we have people on our side who specialize in this area, and they should be able to get you to spill all your secrets."

"Well, I'm actually quite interested in this topic."

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the rings on their hands ignited with deathly flames.

Purple flames and green lightning.

The Death Flame has quite a few attributes.

Tsuna has already seen quite a few types of Dying Will Flames.

Gokudera's red has decomposition capabilities, Yamamoto's blue has a sedative effect, Chrome's indigo is unclear in its purpose, but it should be related to illusions, and then there's a purple Dying Will Flame and a green Dying Will Flame.

[We should stop them, otherwise my experience points will be stolen by someone else.]

The two people below simultaneously opened their box weapons.

On Gamma's side are two foxes emitting green light.

On the other side, there was a hedgehog emitting purple flames.

Just as their box weapons collided, a thin layer of ice appeared in the air, separating the two small animals on opposite sides.

"!?"

This phenomenon caused the two men who were about to take action to stop.

"This is!"

Gamma suddenly felt an unusual familiarity with this phenomenon.

"..."

[...Really? They've already arrived.]

The lark, who had witnessed this phenomenon before, recovered from his initial surprise. He knew exactly what it represented, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"Thank you so much for bringing me what I needed, Hibari Kyoya."

So close!

The sound came from a very nearby tree branch.

Upon hearing the sound, Gamma saw a young boy sitting on a tree branch.

That brat!

[Could it be the Tenth Vongola Boss?!]

Gamma had seen a photo of the Tenth Vongola boss and realized what kind of person he was. This boy, apart from his somewhat immature face, was basically identical to the Tenth Vongola boss.

【wrong! 】

The Vongola Tenth Boss of this era has already been assassinated, and he's not a kid this age anymore.

Still overthinking?

"!?"

In a flash, the voice suddenly appeared before his eyes, and Gamma's expression changed instantly.

"If we don't try harder, we might not even last as long as those two monkeys can, uncle."

"..."

"So that's how it is. You killed the Great Ape and the Wild Ape."

Gamma's eyes instantly turned serious, filled with murderous intent.

"It seems you Milfiore haven't found out yet, which is quite surprising."

At this moment, the killing intent in his heart was completely ignited by the Gamma that erupted with his words, and the death flame on the ring was ignited once again. He opened his box weapon again, but this time it was not Hibari Kyoya he was facing, but the brat who suddenly appeared in front of him and killed his two underlings!

Chapter 41 The Death of Gamma

"I see."

"I thought it just looked like lightning, but I never expected that the Death Flame could actually be transformed into high voltage electricity like lightning."

Previously, Tsuna thought that the unique Dying Will Flame was just another manifestation of Dying Will Flame, and that its essence was the same as ordinary flames. He never expected that its properties had also been changed.

The two foxes that were being held in both hands were still struggling.

Tsuna tightened his grip on the fox's neck, and the two struggling foxes could only let out their dying howls.

[He caught the electric fox with his bare hands!?]

Gamma could hardly believe what he was seeing.

"Are you surprised?"

Gamma was taken aback, and his expression turned slightly cold.

"You used the power of the Sky to harmonize the voltage of the Thunder Flame... Isn't that why you were able to capture the Electric Fox?"

The principle is actually obvious at a glance, but seeing such a scene still made Gamma unable to believe it.

[Without using the power of the rings, he subdued the electric fox, which was a box weapon, simply by using his ability to harmonize.]

[This is because they can perfectly utilize the ability to harmonize, which is why they can do this.]

[...Truly worthy of being the Tenth Boss of the Vongola, he can even do something like this.]

Gamma knew this was a simple application of the power of the Dying Will Flame, but how many people could do this without relying on the power of the ring?

[This is simply impossible to do normally.]

[Even without the ring, one cannot use the Death Flame, yet this brat can use it easily without the ring.]

This is simply not in the same league!

"You have a lot of combat experience, which makes you even more suitable to be my prey."

Tsuna knew, of course, that his opponent had a lot of combat experience, but it was precisely this kind of opponent that would bring him more experience to level up.

"You should know that you have a chance to escape when you are in Hibari Kyoya's hands, but if you try to escape when you are under my control, you will die."

"...The Vongola's Hyperintuition?"

"What do you think?"

At this moment, Gamma's heart finally calmed down completely.

[My thoughts were read in advance... This brat has the Sky attribute, and the Sky's mobility is indeed incomparable to Thunder Flame.]

[The moment my back is exposed to this brat, I will be killed by him in that instant.]

There is only one option: fight to the death.

At this moment, Gamma realized that he was in grave danger this time.

The death flames on the ring were reignited, and a new box was opened.

"A mid-range attack with a thunderous billiard ball, the ball's movements are unpredictable, you're trying to restrict my movements with your skill and control over the Death Flame."

"Besides using the irregular collisions of the billiard balls to attack and restrict my movements, it can also control the billiard balls at any time to act as lightning rods to attack me with high voltage."
